In the winter of 1989, all watermelons and vegetables were sold out. This year's income was 280,000 yuan more than last year.
The village's books went from 3.06 million to 5.7 million.
Village Chief Li started making big moves again.
He wants to demolish the village committee office and build a five-story building.
The village committee office is on the first floor, and the primary school is on the second, third, fourth and fifth floors.
At the same time, all new housing sites in the village started construction at the same time, and each household built a two-and-a-half-story small Western-style building.
Xiaoyanglou is a term used in the 1980s, as Li Zhengguo said.
In fact, he planned to build it according to the villas of later generations.
The villagers are already very conscious, and whatever Village Chief Li says will be followed.
Village Chief Li said: Each household pays for building a building, and the money invested by the villagers in the village will be used for future big plans.
Village Chief Li said: Each family should pay 10,000 yuan first.
Village Chief Li said: "While we are building, we are waiting for this year's melon money and vegetable money."
The villagers were busy going home to get money.
It's a good thing that Village Chief Li didn't finish collecting it for them.
With 10,000 yuan, plus this year's money, the maximum is 16,700 yuan. Can we build a two-and-a-half-story small western-style building?
They don't care, just let Village Chief Li take care of it. They are serious about planting.
Therefore, as soon as the Spring Festival is over, they prepare to plant.
Planting in February?
It doesn't matter, just burn the kang to warm the greenhouse.
It’s time to turn over the soil, dry it, and sort it out. March is just the right time.
Before purchasing materials, Li Zhengguo said he would check the accounts first.
Check the accounting and cashier's accounts.
Last year, the new accountant Zhou Chengbin made a lot of mistakes for him.
Zhou Chengbin was recommended by County Magistrate Ji, a young man who had just graduated.
Young people are a little nervous when dealing with large amounts of money.
Fortunately, Accountant Yang checked carefully when disbursing money and knew all the transactions in the accounts, thus saving tens of thousands of yuan in losses.
The village chief wanted to check the accounts, and Zhou Chengbin stood nervously in front of the village chief's desk.
After Li Zhengguo checked it carefully.
Let’s look at Accounting Yang’s cash balance.
Then he quickly looked through the account book and quickly pointed out one thing:
"Accountant Zhou, there is another decimal point error here. This mistake has been made repeatedly. I have some doubts about your ability."
With a bang, Zhou Chengbin blushed, "Village Chief Li, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I, I will change it right away."
Li Zhengguo pushed the account book and said to Accountant Yang: "Teach him some more, this kid is too shy."
Accountant Yang "..."
Although he is a shy young man, he is obviously a lively young man. When he comes to Village Chief Li, he is like a mouse meeting a cat.
However, Village Chief Li's aura was getting heavier and heavier, which really made the young boy nervous.
After being delayed for two days by the accounts, Li Zhengguo went out to purchase materials on the eighteenth day of the first lunar month.
A new 108 workers came to the village, led by the old 108 from last year.
Village Chief Li does not need to manage these matters personally, his assistant Zhang Shitou can handle them.
Planting for the new year has begun.
A new plan has also begun.
Kushan is busy again.
Li Min took advantage of the opportunity to go see Zhang Fangcao before getting busy.
During the two visits the winter before last and the spring and winter of last year, Zhang's father and Zhang's mother followed Li Min to visit, but Zhang Fangcao disappeared.
This year, the old couple will go with us.
Li Min did not refuse. It was the Zhang family's parents' freedom to go or not, and Zhang Fangcao's freedom to see them or not.
She was too busy and could only visit once in spring and winter and tell Zhang Fangcao about the changes in the village.
This time, Zhang Fangcao still didn't see her parents. When she saw Li Min, she smiled happily.
"Li Min, I can go out."
Li Min was surprised, "Don't you still have nine years?"
Zhang Fangcao rubbed her aching abdomen, "I have stomach cancer and have been released on medical parole. In a few days, I will be able to go back for a checkup."
Stomach cancer?
Li Min's face turned pale, "Aren't you afraid?"
Zhang Fangcao nodded, "Who is not afraid of death? But if I stay here, life is worse than death. Even if I have cancer, I can still go out to see the sunshine and feel a little bit of freedom."
Li Min lowered his voice, "You? You didn't do it on purpose?"
"Hehehe."
Zhang Fangcao chuckled and said, "Li Min, you are happy. Only happy people will not grow up and be so childish."
"Am I letting myself get cancer just to be able to go out? It's not a cold. You can get it as long as you say it's okay."
Li Min pouted, "Your attitude is too suspicious. How can I be happy? When you go back and take a look, you will know how tired everyone is when you look at our busy days."
Zhang Fangcao's face was full of envy and her eyes were full of tears, "I would rather work hard than here. I want to see a different Kushanli."
Faced with Zhang Fangcao's silent tears, Li Min surrendered, "Go and have a look. Not only is Kushan different, but so are the villagers in Kushan, and so is your family."
Zhang Fangcao shook his head, "There is no regret medicine in the world. Just because they regret it doesn't mean I have to forgive them."
"If you make a mistake, you have to pay a price, just like me. So, I will never forgive them in this life."
…
Tian Jing could only sigh after learning that Zhang Fangcao had stomach cancer.
She couldn't help, one Zhao Xiaofang was enough for her.
She is not the savior.
While the villagers were busy in the dark, Zhang Fangcao stood on the outer bank of the Kuhe River, greedily looking at the familiar and unfamiliar scenery around him.
Seeing that she was trying to cross the river on big rocks, the female police officer from the county police station who accompanied her grabbed her.
"Isn't there a bridge?"
Zhang Fangcao shook his head, "If you cross that bridge, my body and identity are not suitable for walking on that bridge."
"Is it okay if I want to swim in this river? Don't worry, I still want to enjoy the last freedom and sunshine."
What should the female police officer be worried about? After following him for several days, this prisoner never caused any trouble for her.
But, "The weather is cold and your body's immunity is low. Maybe a cold will go away. You should just endure it and wait until the weather gets hot before you go swimming again."
Zhang Fangcao looked up at the sky. Could she wait until it was hot?
However, this hard-won short-term freedom cannot be destroyed.
So she obeyed and said, "Okay, I can swim in two months."
The female police officer accompanied her as she stepped on big rocks to cross the river, "Is this how you entered and exited the village in the past?"
"yes."
Zhang Fangcao nodded, "If the water rises, we can only swim out of the village. But there are few changes of clothes, so we try not to leave the village."
"Besides, you have to walk fifty miles out of the village to get to the town. What are you going to do out of the village? Then, you just stay in the village and become stupid."
The female police officer sighed quietly. Many prisoners only realize their mistakes after they are actually imprisoned.
After entering the village, Zhang Fangcao still tried his best to step on the roadside of the village.
The two-story building behind the village committee office caught her eye.
This is the courtyard house Li Min mentioned, right? The flowers on the first floor are beautiful.
The golden yellow rapeseed flowers are a symbol of the coming of spring.
She looked away and continued walking west. Every house was guarded by General Iron.
She looked at these unchanged yards. They were too familiar. They had been like this since she was a child and they were still like this now.
According to Li Min, even if small Western-style buildings are built, these old courtyards are not in a hurry to be demolished.
Passing by the clinic, Zhang Fangcao looked over and saw a strange man.
Doctor Yang is not here anymore?
She turned to leave and saw an old man carrying a backpack walking from the west.
She stood there waiting for the old man to come over and said, "Doctor Yang."
Doctor Yang squinted his eyes and looked at him, "Who are you?"
"I am Zhang Fangcao."
"Zhang Fangcao?"
Doctor Yang's presbyopic eyes widened in surprise, "How did you become like this?"
"I'm sick and I need to be released on medical parole."
"Are you sick? Come and see my nephew and apprentice."
Zhang Fangcao shook his head, "There is no cure."
"Nonsense, come in."
Doctor Yang stretched out his hand and pulled her, "Come in."
Zhang Fangcao refused, "Don't waste your energy, I'm dirty."
"Don't you know that doctors like difficult and complicated diseases? Where is the dirt on you?"
Doctor Yang would not let her go and shouted into the clinic: "Yuan Man, hurry up, I've caught a patient for you."
In the past few years, the villagers have not even had a headache or fever.
After finally catching someone who surrendered himself to the trap, how could Doctor Yang let him go?
