“The village is raising funds to build roads, how much can we donate?”
At night, after playing wildly, Xiao Wenchen was already asleep. Yang Dongxu and Zhou Ya also went to bed.
"Just give it according to the village's fund-raising standards, including our dad and Mr. Xuan's share. And then donate an additional 100,000, that's all."
"It's pretty much what I thought." Zhou Ya nodded, "However, raising funds to build roads and increase the flow of people is right for Yangjiacun.
But before, my mother called to tell me about Xiaowu and Daliang taking the lead in raising funds to build roads. I understand the development of urban and rural areas in China, and it seems that simply building roads is not enough. After all, Yangjia Village is not located on the main road and does not have an advantageous geographical location, and it is only the village chief, not a township. Has natural shortcomings. "
At present, the development of urban and rural areas in China has actually shown signs of future generations. For example, after the New Year, the entire countryside is almost empty. Only during the summer harvest, autumn harvest and Chinese New Year can the flow of people become active.
The market here in Yangjiacun is considered good. Although it is no longer on the main road, there is an asphalt road connecting it to the main road. In addition, people in Yangji Village rarely go out to work, and people from nearby villages and towns do not have to go out to work to earn less money when growing herbal medicine.
Therefore, the flow of people at the market is pretty good all year round, even in farther towns. Farmers no longer work in their hometowns to make a living. Basically, as soon as people leave after the New Year, markets like Yangjia Village become empty in an instant. There are no other people except the elderly and left-behind children. Naturally, this business is not Easy to do.
As a result, many stores have to close their doors and wait until the end of the year to reopen, creating a vicious cycle. When rural people go to big cities to work, some people have fixed jobs and no longer return to their hometowns during holidays. The rural population has begun a large-scale net outflow, and the entire rural market, let alone the market, will decline rapidly.
"Simply building roads won't work. First, growing herbal medicines will generate income, and rural people will stay in the countryside. This will create a basis for the flow of people in the market.
But if we want better development, in addition to building roads, we also need to build a primary school, preferably a middle school, and it would be even better if we could have a high school.
Finally, we need to build a hospital with good supporting facilities. This will be considered as having complete basic facilities. In this way, even though Yangjiacun is no longer on the main trunk lines of some provincial and municipal roads. With this basic flow of people, it’s not bad. Yang Dongxu said.
"Integrating villages into towns? I think I heard someone above mentioned this idea, and we have already held a meeting to study it. But when merging villages and towns, we also need to merge them into Wuli Town, right?"
“It’s not just about merging villages and merging towns. It’s wrong to simply merge villages into towns without an economic foundation and unable to increase sources of income for farmers.
Ours can only be said to be developing Yangjia Village to the scale of a town. After all, it is purely based on distance. Yangjiacun is a certain distance from Wuli Village, so there is room for development.
And although our area is not on a main road, there is a river and there is the possibility of building a dock. Therefore, even if the traveler level of Wuli Village Town is not merged into Yangjia Village. It is not impossible to simply develop Yangjia Village to the scale of a town without the administrative level. "
"So you are ready to invest?" Zhou Ya looked at her husband.
Yang Dongxu rubbed his chin and said in a deep voice: "It can't be considered an investment, it's just an idea. For example, if we expand the Robinia Locust River to form a better waterway, the city and the cities upstream and downstream will definitely support it. After all, This can also be regarded as a driving force for increasing urban development.
In terms of schools, in fact, Huaxia University has been developing its own high school and even an affiliated primary school in recent years. It would not be out of place to have one in Yangjiacun.
After all, we are surrounded by herbal plants. Yangjiacun has such a foundation, doesn’t it? At that time, in addition to learning cultural classes, children can also go to the fields to see the planting and harvesting of traditional Chinese medicine with their own eyes.
So the biggest problem here is actually the hospital. After all, the hospital must have its own environmental protection system, underground drainage and sewage treatment system, etc. To avoid contamination of the surrounding land and prevent the infection of unnecessary germs.
Such facilities are unique to cities and are even worse than those in towns. Not to mention Yangjiacun, which is not even a town. "
Yang Dongxu is very aware of the rate of rural population loss in the future. The idiom "ten rooms and nine empty rooms" is a bit exaggerated in this matter. But if you replace a house with a person, this idiom is not an exaggeration at all.
In short, most of the people who stay in the countryside from the beginning of the year are old people. Some families will keep their children if their conditions are not good. Those who work outside in a stable environment will take their children to receive a better education.
In recent years, despite the fact that the countryside is still very lively during the summer harvest and Spring Festival, don't forget that Yangjiacun is a market. If you go to other villages, you will find that many families have given their land to other people for farming and only come back once at the end of the year.
Occasionally, there will be one day that never comes back, or even some that don't come back for several consecutive years, and the number of people who don't come back is still increasing every year.
He had experienced it firsthand. When he started playing cards, he couldn't get involved at all. He could only sit aside and watch the fun. As a result, after more than ten years, even if we wanted to sit together and play cards, we couldn’t get enough hands. During the Spring Festival, half of the houses in the entire existence had their doors locked and no lights on.
And the reason for this is summed up perfectly by a sentence on the website of Later Generations: "My hometown cannot accommodate my body, and the safety of a foreign country cannot regulate my soul."
To sum it up, you have to make money and live.
So I want Yangjiacun to continue to prosper and be as lively as it is now. The only way is to make the output here higher than working outside. If the whole family can be fed, clothed, and lived in their hometown, no one likes to leave their hometown.
...
When she got up in the morning, Yang's mother started loading things into the back compartment, complaining that the car looked good, but its ability to haul goods was really incomparable to that of a pickup truck.
Apart from anything else, only half of the pork that was killed first was put in, so there was basically no space left in the trunk.
Years ago, every relative in the family would walk around. This was a rule that had been formed since Yang Dongxu was able to make money. It was not to show off how good his life was, but because Yang Ma wanted to help her relatives at the beginning.
In fact, although Yang Dongxu basically didn't have to worry about food when he was a child, his material life was far less rich than it is now. Children like to visit relatives because they can have a good meal. But adults don't want to visit relatives for fear of bringing some burden to others.
Since Yang Dongxu made money, Yang's mother would buy a lot of things at the beginning of the year. First, she would go back to her parents' house to have a look, then she would go to several sisters' houses and give some things to friends, hoping that they would have a better year this year. .
In this way, this rule was established, especially when Yang Dongxu first got rich, he was afraid that his parents would not be willing to part with food and clothing, so he would directly save the money after giving it to him, so he started to bring New Year's goods to his home in droves. If the food is not eaten, it will spoil, so parents can eat more.
"Mom, please don't put the fish in it. My little sister will go over there soon and she must have brought a lot of fish." Seeing that the trunk was basically filled with gifts, Yang's mother also carried two large fish in her hand. There was nowhere to put the fish, Yang Dongxu said.
"Every year there is more than enough, every year there is more than enough. Isn't there no such thing as a gift? Your little sister gave it to her. We can give a little less but we can't live without it." Mother Yang glanced at her ignorant son.
Yang Dongxu touched his nose and stopped talking. Seeing this, Xiao Wenchen was very happy to see Xiao Wenchen holding a bamboo stick as a sword in his hand. He went up and slapped his butt twice.
"Go to the side and play, you are so close to the car, and you have to paddle to repair it, you loser."
Xiao Wenchen looked at his father blankly, even though he had a reason to be beaten. But he always felt that his father was venting his anger on him at this moment.
However, children have thick skin and wear a lot in winter. Anyway, the beating didn't hurt much, so after taking a look at his father outside, he took the sword and walked towards the intersection.
While there was still some time before visiting relatives, he planned to compete with his friends in swordsmanship. Yesterday, I learned two tricks from watching the hero that grandpa likes to watch.
"Dongxu, did you see where the clothes I bought for grandpa and grandma are placed? There are also non-slip snow shoes." Zhou Ya's voice came from the room.
Although the older generation can wear new clothes for several years, grandma and grandpa always say it is a waste every time they bring clothes and shoes. But they would buy it every year. Sometimes it was Yang's mother who bought it when she went to the county town, and sometimes it was Yang Dongxu and Zhou Ya who bought it and brought it back.
"Clothes, look at the black box. When Ran Feifei and you were loading luggage, she put grandpa's and his clothes directly into the red box and took them away. Grandpa and grandma's clothes seemed to be put into the black box. .
The box containing the shoes is not in the old house, but in the suitcase in the room on the street. When you first came back, you bought shoes for your family and prepared to distribute them. Did you forget to just carry the box over? "
Sometimes women are a little confused when looking for something. In fact, it’s not that they really forget it, they just forget it in a hurry.
There are gifts from grandma and grandpa, of course there are also gifts from grandparents, and there are also gifts from my uncle’s family. So sometimes the gift is a suit of clothes and shoes in one suitcase, and sometimes the shoes and clothes are packed separately, and they are unpacked one by one when they get home.
"There are still a few bags of clothes and shoes, why don't we change into a pickup truck?" Yang Dongxu said as he watched his mother put the fish aside and started to pack the trunk, trying to squeeze out some more space to put the fish in.
"It's not good to drive a broken pickup truck during the Chinese New Year. It's none of your business and I'll just stay here." Yang's mother said impatiently without even raising her head.
Yang Dongxu wisely left and took the shoes to the street, and took a look at where Xiao Wenchen, the naughty boy, had gone. At the end of the year, there were many people on the street, but this boy was still in front of him, and no one was there in a flash.
