Yang Dongxu's return to the village attracted a lot of attention, not because people in the village are still curious about cars. He came back in a car again, and this time it was Yang's father who picked him up in a four-wheel drive.
But people who come back from Yanjing naturally want to take a second look, and it is also good to have some luck in the capital. Distributing sweets and getting snacks are still the favorites of rural children.
Zhou Ya's appearance made everyone in Yangjia Village exclaim as a fairy. Wherever she stood, no one looked and she leaned forward. They didn't even dare to look at her from the front, they all looked at her secretly.
But soon the aunts and aunts gathered around. After listening to Yang Ma's introduction, Zhou Ya opened her mouth and called people with a smile. The seniority was discussed from Yang Dongxu's side, not Zhou Yiren's side.
Although they were a little surprised when they heard that the person in front of them was Mr. Zhou Yiren, Zhou's daughter, calling her aunt or something like that, but under Zhou Ya's appearance and aura, it was strange but no one asked anything.
What I didn’t say in the evening was that Mother Yang, who slaughtered chickens and ducks, prepared a table full of dishes. Many of the dishes were bought at the market in the morning. Therefore, Yang Dongxu, who was tortured by the dining car meal on the train, let go and ate a big meal.
After dinner, Zhou Ya took the gifts she had prepared before and went to Yang Dongxu's grandparents' house to sit there. Then she went to the eldest grandpa and third grandpa's house to give things away.
At the same time, I discussed some things with the uncle. The next day, the uncle called a meeting of the villagers and announced that Yangjiacun would build a road. This time it was not a mortar road, but an asphalt road leading to the official road in the north.
Road construction is a rare thing these days, and there are not many expressways in the country. Building rural roads to the doorstep was a slogan that was shouted around 2010, and then slowly implemented.
Although there is an asphalt road in Wuli Town, it is also because it occupies the main road between Chengwang City and Fengyang County. The road to be built in Yangjia Village is to connect to this official road to the north. Building a mortar road is already a big deal now, let alone building an asphalt road.
"It's ten yuan per person. We'll pay it all before tomorrow night. If anyone is being naughty this time, you won't let me go when we build the road in the future." The grandfather was as domineering as ever.
Some people are a little reluctant to hear that it costs 10 yuan per person. After all, if there are more than a dozen people in the family, the cost of paying more than 100 yuan is gone. Although people in rural areas are not as poor as before, more than 100 yuan is still a lot of money.
"Uncle, is this ten yuan too much?" Although the uncle is very majestic, some people still raised questions about matters related to his own pocket.
"What the heck, our village is at least ** miles away from the official road. What's the population of the village? The asphalt road in ** miles can't be purchased for hundreds of thousands of dollars? This is Mr. Zhou's benevolence. Although we only gave him some grains and the like back then, he survived and knew how to be grateful, so this time he took the lion's share of the money for road construction. People must be benevolent and righteous, right?"
Many villagers took a breath when they heard that road construction cost hundreds of thousands of yuan. This was a huge amount of money that they could not hope for.
Many people looked at Zhou Ya, and a few of them wanted to say something first. But although Zhou Ya had a smile on her face, she was dressed like a city person and had an elegant temperament, so they could only look at her. Look, no one dares to come up and talk to me.
For the sake of what the great grandfather said, many people are still unwilling to say anything, but they can't say anything else. After all, although the population of Yangjiacun has increased a lot in recent years, the total cost of 10 yuan per person is less than 10,000 yuan.
In other words, even less than 1% of the money for road construction was paid, and the women of the Zhou family paid for the rest. It would be unreasonable for them to still be fussy about paying back.
"Uncle, if this road is repaired, there are two big villages along the way. Do they also need to pay some money? Otherwise, we will pay for it, which is a big loss." Someone started to suggest.
Rural people are simple, but simplicity does not necessarily mean that they do not have their inner Xiao Jiujiu, or that they are willing to let others take advantage of them.
"I'll go to those two villages to discuss it later. If you don't pay, you won't be able to walk. If anyone walks without paying to repair the road, I'll break their legs." The uncle snorted coldly.
"But it's still our village that gets the big share of the losses." Some people felt very unhappy about being taken advantage of.
This 'our village' took the lead, so Zhou Ya was naturally included in Yangjia Village. But no one questions this, because Zhou Ya paid to build the road just for Yangjiacun, so naturally he must be a member of Yangjiacun.
"You know what, after the road is built, I will go for a run around the town and prepare to hold a small market in Yangjiacun, right next to the threshing floor. There happens to be some wasteland to the west, and the road also goes west. If the market gets bigger, then it can be expanded to the west. I have already thought of a name, and it will be called Yangjiaji."
"Market!" Many villagers were stunned, and then their faces showed expressions of ecstasy.
Although markets are not a rare thing in rural areas, it is definitely rare to open a market in Yangjiacun, because there are no markets at all in the countryside below Ranmiao Township and Wuli Town within a radius of more than ten miles.
Therefore, people in the town feel better about themselves than people in the countryside below. Therefore, people in the market naturally feel better about themselves than people in ordinary villages. Therefore, if Yangjiacun has a market, it will definitely give them more face. matter.
Moreover, as soon as the market opens in Yangjia Village, you can do business on a first-come-first-served basis near the water. For example, you don’t have to buy chicken, fish, meat, eggs, etc. in Runway Town, right?
If they can set up a cattle farm and a pig farm to bring people from villages all over the country to Yangjiacun for the market, their income will definitely not be small.
"Anyone who doesn't contribute money will not be allowed to open a shop in the market in the future." The grandfather added.
But it doesn’t really matter whether you add this sentence or not. If everyone was still a little resistant because of the need to pay, then when the market comes out, anyone who is not a fool will know that the money given out now will definitely be earned back exponentially in the future. of.
"Ya girl pays the most, and she owns the best part of the street." The uncle continued.
"Grandpa, there's no need for this." Zhou Ya, who had been silent, said quickly, not expecting that grandpa would make such a decision.
It was Yang Dongxu who brought up the matter of road construction. He was originally going to spend his own money to do something for the villagers. Although he didn't want to show off his wealth, he still had to do such a thing. After all, Yangjiacun was muddy when it rained. The path he had taken had caused him pain in his balls for decades before he was reborn. Now that he had the conditions, he naturally had to improve.
After talking to Zhou Ya, Zhou Ya took over the matter. Zhou Yiren had indeed received favor from Yangjiacun, and it would indeed be better for her to come forward.
Yang Dongxu has no opinion on this point. Zhou Ya is basically taking care of his current assets, so there is no need to argue about who will pay. However, neither he nor Zhou Ya expected that he would add this sentence to the matter that he and his uncle had discussed yesterday.
"Stop talking, this matter is settled. If you don't get any benefits at most by paying the most, who will pay more in the future?" The uncle waved his hand and said that it was not negotiable.
Zhou Ya looked at Yang Dongxu, and Yang Dongxu nodded lightly without saying anything else.
The villagers who saw this scene couldn't help but look at Yang's father and Yang's mother with envy. Zhou Ya, a Yanjing native, obviously would not stay in their small village, so what is given to Zhou Ya now is equivalent to giving to Yang Dongxu's family.
"I have a family of five. I'll pay you 500. In a few months, I won't charge you much for farming in the summer. You can just give me some gas money." Although he was envied, jealous, and hated by the surrounding villagers, Father Yang felt very happy when he looked at him.
He originally thought that his family would suffer a big loss because Zhou Ya contributed money, but this was a good thing and he couldn't stop it, right? Who would have thought that a sudden turn of events would have such benefits, but Father Yang also knew that he couldn’t be arrogant at this time, so he took the initiative to offer more benefits.
Hearing that Father Yang was such a good person, the people in the village looked much better. People who usually had good relationships gathered together in small groups. From time to time, they would stroll around the threshing floor to see which position they would choose if the market was established. It's better, and it's more profitable to do some business at the same time.
On May 21st, the day of Yang Dongxu’s grandpa’s wedding, if Yang Dongxu hadn’t known that his grandpa was not reborn. Seeing this wedding day, he thought that his little grandpa knew that 521 was the day when "I love you" was very popular for weddings in future generations.
In fact, it was just a coincidence that there weren't that many twists and turns. The two of them did the math with their horoscopes, and then picked an auspicious day that happened to be this day. They chose to get married in May because the wheat harvest was due in June. My grandfather, who was already very anxious, could not postpone the wedding until July.
Although grandpa and grandma did not agree with the marriage, it was a done deal and the sister-in-law was about to come in. Naturally, they could not say anything more and helped start planning the wedding together.
The little grandpa seems to be really interested in this little grandma. Although the other party is a widow, the wedding banquet was held in a very grand manner, not to mention the relatives and friends. Generally, the wedding banquet is just one meal, but he let the people who came with the gift eat three. Every meal is full of meat and fish, which is very real.
There is no policy to send operas to the countryside, and Fangyuan has not heard of any famous opera troupes. Otherwise, they would definitely invite people to sing in the opera for three days and three nights to make it lively.
At the wedding, Yang Dongxu finally saw his little grandmother, a 36-year-old woman with wrinkles on her face, but still beautiful. This was the first time that Yang Dongxu saw Wu Qun. The moment he saw her, he understood why Da Laoliu wanted to snatch this woman away even though he was murdering people. He is so charming at such an old age. When he was young, he would definitely be regarded as not harming the country and the people. Stunning.
In addition to the little grandma Wu Qun, Yang Dongxu and her daughter Ran Feifei, who has been renamed, are an eighteen-year-old girl. She is not very tall, about 163cm, and is slightly shorter than her mother. I wonder if it will grow again in the future.
Compared to her mother, who looked happy with tears in her eyes, the smile on Ran Feifei's face was a bit stiff. Whether it was the daughter of Da Laoliu, a criminal who was shot, or the daughter of a widow, it didn't sound so good.
There are even rumors that she is not the daughter of Da Lao Liu, but the daughter of the mine leader who was tortured to death by Da Lao Liu. That thing of Da Lao Liu is not good at all. Otherwise, why has he not even got an egg after occupying Wu Qun, a beautiful woman, for so many years? Born?
Not to mention that this rumor is very marketable. After all, Wu Qun gave birth to a daughter to prove that there is nothing wrong with her body. She has not given birth to a child since she followed Da Laoliu. Is it not Da Laoliu who has the problem, or who has the problem?
However, such rumors are only circulated in nearby villages and will not reach the ears of the deputy commissioner who is already the deputy mayor. Even if he hears about it, he will not come to recognize his relatives or anything. His brother is dead, and the eldest six Being shot was considered revenge. Now that he was the deputy mayor, he naturally didn't want to be involved in these not-so-good rumors.
"Auntie!" Yang Dongxu ran over and shouted as he saw Ran Feifei standing alone and feeling lonely.
