This is why roads can be paved in the East. If we don't grab them, as Ryoko said, not a single stone will be left.

Fortunately, Yang Lei solved this problem in time, otherwise it might have been a big joke.

After a day's work, everyone was already very tired. Boss Wang from the East District asked his mother-in-law to cook a table of dishes at home. He insisted on having men from several households in the East come to the house for dinner. Among them was Liangzi. Boss Wang asked her to

Liangzi came to call Zhang Guoquan.

Zhang Guoquan originally didn't want to go. He stayed at home with the little one, took a shower and went to bed.

Liangzi said, "Boss Wang insists on letting you go. If you don't go, you won't be able to eat."

Zhang Guoquan had no choice but to go to Big Brother's house for dinner with Liangzi.

This is the first time he has been invited to dinner. In the village, if anyone is often asked to eat, it means that people think highly of you, recognize you, and are willing to be friends with you.

Favors come and go, that's what happened in the village, and Zhang Guoquan couldn't refuse Boss Wang's hospitality.

In the past, no one asked him, a man with a foreign surname, to eat, and Zhang Guoquan didn't care, let alone have any thoughts. All his energy was devoted to the crops and running his own small life.

He had to go to the dinner that Boss Wang had prepared today. To be honest, Boss Wang had done a lot to persuade the Dongdi villagers to pave the road in the morning.

Boss Wang was happy that Dongdi could be so united, so he took the opportunity to save such a meal.

When we arrived at Mr. Wang's house, the dining table was already crowded with people. They were all villagers from Dongdi, and Zhang Guo recognized them all.

A table was gathered around, but no food was touched. Needless to say, if Zhang Guoquan hadn't come, the meal would really not have started.

Zhang Guoquan greeted everyone and said polite words. He was not good at dealing with people, let alone some conversational remarks.

Everyone knows that even if he is not thoughtful enough, no one will take offense to him.

There are dozens of villagers in the east area of ​​Yangjiazhuang, which can be said to be sparsely populated compared with the south area and the west area.

It doesn't matter if there are fewer people, regardless of purity, everyone will help someone with something. But if there are more people, there will be more intrigues.

Boss Wang’s name is Wang Li. He is nearly fifty years old. He is usually busy organizing anything in Dongdi. He knows everything about Zhang Guoquan. He also knows that Zhang Guoquan’s fourth brother died in Dongdi. In order to save Aunt Wang

, maybe as time goes by, the villagers in the south and west will forget, but the villagers in the east will never forget.

When Boss Wang saw Zhang Guoquan coming, he hurriedly stood up and greeted him to sit down. A group of people made room for him.

Zhang Guoquan was polite and said words of gratitude. Everyone had arrived and the big table in the main room of Mr. Wang's house was full. Everyone started eating. After eating for a while, Mr. Wang took the initiative to pour wine for everyone.

After drinking a round of wine, Wang Li spoke. It turned out that today's dinner was not just about paving the road. Everyone had been tired for a day. Boss Wang had other things he wanted to say to everyone.

"Today, taking advantage of the opportunity of paving the road, everyone has been tired for a day. Come and have a drink in the evening, so that you can have a good sleep when you go back. But don't say that Big Brother is stingy. After all, drinking too much wine is harmful to our health.

Ah, only in moderation.”

After speaking, everyone raised their glasses together and drank the wine in the glasses. Zhang Guoquan didn’t like drinking very much, but on today’s occasion, everyone drank, so he had to drink an appropriate amount. Fortunately, the Dongdi villagers did not get drunk.

, there would be no one to persuade you to drink, otherwise you would have to get drunk today.

"Guoquan..."

Zhang Guoquan had just finished a sip of wine. It was too spicy. He was picking up vegetables to eat when he suddenly heard Mr. Wang calling him. He quickly raised his head and looked at Wang Li: "Hey, Mr. Wang."

Seeing that Boss Wang wanted to speak, everyone looked at him.

"Guoquan, thank you for paving the road in Dongdi today. To be honest, I feel sad when I see everyone dragging stones to their homes, but I know that many people are just piss-cats, and it's their turn to take care of them even if they want to.

It's not up to me to take care of it, but you go take care of it and persuade the big guys. Big brother has nothing to say, it's all in the wine. I'll do it. You drink less, and you have to take care of Baige when you go back."

Boss Wang drank all the wine in the glass in one gulp, not forgetting to shake the rim of the glass downwards, so Zhang Guoquan had no choice but to drink it too.

"Boss Wang, you're welcome. The road is paved on the east side. It will be more convenient for the big guys to walk."

"That's for sure. It's not like those people just rush to put mats in front of their homes. In the end, there is no point in building this road."

Everyone agreed.

After complaining to the other villagers and drinking a few rounds of wine, Mr. Wang slowly revealed the main purpose of organizing this dinner today.

"We've had wine and eaten food. We just happened to have a casual chat while everyone is here. It's still early and we can hug my mother-in-law any day when I get home."

Everyone laughed along.

"What are we talking about? You see, our Yangjiazhuang is going to dig coal. The specific place for digging coal has not been decided yet."

Yes, the village committee has built a new one, the road has been repaired, and the school is about to be built. It has been said that coal is being mined, but it is not yet certain where it will be dug.

Zhang Guoquan didn't speak. He wanted to hear what the big guy had to say first.

Unexpectedly, Boss Wang still handed the words to him.

"Guoquan, we all know that you know that person surnamed Su, don't you have some gossip? It would also put everyone at ease."

Zhang Guoquan shook his head, his head feeling slightly dizzy: "To be honest, although I know Su Jincheng, I haven't seen him during this time. If I want to ask, I can't find anyone else."

Su Jincheng came to Yangjiazhuang once when we last watched an outdoor movie, and I never saw him again. Wei Guangming took care of everything in the village.

Boss Wang nodded slightly: "That's it. I thought you knew some news. Then, about the woman named Xia Sujuan, didn't you get any news from her?"

"No, she just wants to get some business in coal mining, which is pretty much what I know."

Boss Wang looked very disappointed: "This is going to be difficult."

Zhang Guoquan asked in confusion: "What's wrong, Boss Wang? Why are you asking about this?"

"Hey, before you came, I was telling everyone about this. I was wondering if you could go see Su Jincheng."

"Why do you want to see him? He will come back naturally when he comes."

As the village party secretary, Su Jincheng will definitely come to dig coal when the time comes.

"I know, I know. It's better to prepare in advance if you know where to dig coal in advance."

What preparations are needed? Zhang Guoquan is confused. Everything that can be prepared will be prepared by the superiors. He and Wei Guangming talked about it. The reason why coal mining has not started yet is that the superiors are looking for a reliable contractor.

Shang, the incident with the Golden Tooth last time must not happen again.

Although it is a contractor, the actual management and control still belongs to the public. In the end, to a certain extent, the company to which the contractor belongs is also public.

Coal mining is not a trivial matter, it is related to the development of the whole county and even the whole city. We adopt the bidding method of big cities for contractors. We have strong strength and trustworthy corporate culture, which are indispensable.

So, what preparations does Yangjiazhuang need? If you want to work hard and make money, then just wait for the coal mine to be completed and sign up to be a worker.

No matter who takes the contract in the end, in order to save costs and for convenience, they will not hire workers from other places over the distance.

Relying on the mountains to eat mountains and relying on water to feed water, Yangjiazhuang can also live a better life relying on the coal underground.

Boss Wang raised a question: "Guoquan, you are a smart man. In your opinion, do you think the coal mine will be built in the east?"

Zhang Guoquan didn't know what to say, because he didn't know either. The only thing he knew was that no matter where the coal mine exit was located, it would not be located on his crop land, so he had to mention Yaoyao.

Thinking of that silly girl, Zhang Guoquan poured himself a full cup, tilted his neck and drank it all. After finishing the drink, he began to lose consciousness for no reason.

There are few people in the East, but there is a lot of land. It is not just the villagers in the East, but most of it is the crop land of the villagers in the South and North.

The direction southward along the river ditch is basically all crop fields, there is not a single house in sight, and there is a large area where coal mines can be built.

But Zhang Guoquan knew that if he really wanted to set up a coal mine outlet in the south direction of Dongdi, he would definitely sacrifice a large area of ​​crop land.

Not sure whether it was because he suddenly thought of Yaoyao or because he felt pity for the crop land, he sighed: "No matter where we set up, we have to sacrifice a lot of land."

Boss Wang slapped the table: "That's what I'm talking about. Take a chance tomorrow to meet the man named Su and find out where the coal mine is. You can build a greenhouse there and borrow money."

build."

"Boss Wang, what do you mean?"
