The biting mountain wind blew Zhang Jiaqiang's hair into a mess, and it was difficult to open his eyes.
He covered his eyes and said, "The vertical height according to visual inspection is at least tens of meters. The cost of road construction is not low. When the construction team comes to investigate, you take them to have a look, ask the experts for their opinions, and try to spend as little as possible. Connect the two sides!”
Xiao Zhen poked his head forward and said, "It's indeed quite high. Jia Qiang, I heard that there is an elevator in the city. It can go up to dozens of floors in one go. What do you think about pressing the elevator here? How about building a big pulley?" It’s easier to get up and down, and it saves on road construction!”
It shouldn't cost much to get a lift, but the items you can transport at a time are very limited.
But it has greatly shortened the distance between the two places. If you take roads and mountain roads to Hulu Valley, it will be at least dozens of kilometers.
The lift can go straight up and down, which saves time and effort, but is a good idea.
Zhang Jiaqiang waved his hands noncommittally and said, "It's getting late, go home first!"
Back in the village, it was the time when the smoke from the cooking pots was dim and the cattle were returning home at dusk.
The farmer with the hoe, the laughing children, the shepherd boy and the piccolo, the local birds and the returning geese, outline a tranquil and warm picture.
The entire mountain village was enveloped in a quiet and peaceful atmosphere.
As the car drove into the village, people walking on the dirt road cast friendly glances and stepped out of the way. Some even put down their hoes and raised their hands to say hello.
At this moment, Zhang Jiaqiang's prestige in the eyes of the villagers has far exceeded that of the village chief in the past. Many people even expect him to become the next village chief.
There was a person squatting in front of my grandma's house. When he saw the car stopped, he hurriedly approached.
"Jia Qiang, you're back, I'm so anxious!"
Zhang Jiaqiang opened the door and got out of the car, "Zhigang, do you have a problem with me?"
Zhigang said with a sad face, "At noon, people from the town called me to the village headquarters and asked me what I thought about becoming the village chief in the future. How could I be the village chief? It's you who instigated this matter of family strength, but forgive me!"
Zhang Jiaqiang let him in and the two of them sat under the toon tree in the courtyard.
"Being the village chief is a good thing. You can do more for the villagers. Isn't it your long-cherished wish?"
Zhigang smiled bitterly and said, "It's okay to do things for the villagers, but I really can't do it as the village chief. If nothing else, I can't help but make excuses for many things. No one else is afraid of me, so how can I do this?"
At this time, Xiao Zhen took two green melons, smashed them on the roller, handed them one piece each, and then squatted on the ground to watch them talk.
Zhang Jiaqiang picked out the melon seeds, took a big bite and said vaguely.
"This matter is easy to handle. You come up with rules and regulations and act according to them. Anyone who violates them will be punished according to the rules. Use the system to manage people, not people to manage people. You don't need to sing about red faces and white faces!"
"Is this okay?" Zhigang's face was full of doubts, with a glimmer of hope in his eyes.
Xiao Zhen chewed on the melon and said, "Of course it can be done, as long as Jia Qiang says it can be done. There are people in the village who dare not listen to the village chief, but no one dares to object to what he says!"
Zhigang said, "Jiaqiang, then just become the village chief!"
"You must be the village chief. Let's do it this way. Brother Zhen will help Zhigang get the system in place. The engineering team is coming soon. Please be careful!"
Zhang Jiaqiang put the last piece of melon into his mouth, stood up and walked to the backyard.
Zhigang shouted from behind, "Jia Qiang, I will listen to you from now on!"
Zhang Jiaqiang didn't want to be the head of this Taishang village. He didn't even look back and walked around the main room to see Erya and Xiaoliang standing in the aisle of the front and back yards.
They were muttering in a low voice, and could vaguely hear words like "You go, I won't go" coming from them.
When they saw Zhang Jiaqiang, they immediately stopped talking. Xiao Liang turned around and left, but Erya greeted Zhang Jiaqiang.
Zhang Jiaqiang stopped Xiaoliang and asked him to wait for a while, then turned to ask Erya.
"What's up?"
Erya murmured for a long time and said, "Cousin, I don't want to go to school in Luonan City!"
Zhang Jiaqiang's eyes flashed and he said solemnly.
"Where you go to school, or whether you want to go to school, is your freedom, but I think you'd better weigh the pros and cons before making a decision. You go and do your work first. I have something to tell Xiaoliang!"
Erya said timidly and walked to the front yard.
Zhang Jiaqiang shouted, "Erya, go talk to your sister-in-law for a while, she may be able to help you open up your ideas!"
Everyone in the family liked Ye Xiumei, who was gentle and kind. Erya let out a sigh of joy, turned around and ran towards the backyard excitedly.
Zhang Jiaqiang looked at Xiao Liang, whose eyes were evasive, and suddenly raised his voice.
"Come on, why don't you let your sister go to school in Luonan!"
Xiaoliang suddenly raised his head, his eyes filled with fear, "I, I didn't, it wasn't me..."
Zhang Jiaqiang raised his hand and Xiaoliang was so scared that he hugged his head.
"I won't hit you!" Zhang Jiaqiang gently put his arm on his shoulder.
"Actually, I can tell without you opening your mouth. You are afraid that after she leaves, you will have no relatives around to take care of you!"
Xiao Liang raised his head and glanced at Zhang Jiaqiang quickly, then immediately lowered his head and acknowledged it with a hum.
This kid is a child who was spoiled by his parents. If he wants to grow up healthily in the future, he must be beaten by society.
Zhang Jiaqiang sneered, "Are you a man?"
"Yes, why not?" Xiao Liang yelled.
Zhang Jiaqiang chuckled and said, "I don't think so. You are about to turn 20, and you still cannot do without the care of your family. You are just a child who will never grow up. Go play and play until you grow old. Anyway, you have your sister and cousin!"
Xiaoliang glared angrily, "I knew you looked down on me. Sooner or later I would do something big that would scare you!"
"Fuck you, you can't even do small things well, but you still do big things!"
Zhang Jiaqiang didn't wait for his retort, and then said, "If you have the ability, don't let others help, and take care of the field servants at home. When the grain harvested after the autumn harvest is reasonable, I will take you to the city to be with your sister!"
Xiaoliang's eyes lit up with joy, "Brother, aren't you going to lie to me?"
"Who have I lied to?" Zhang Jiaqiang snorted and entered the room.
Xiaoliang thought about it for a moment, and realized that this eldest cousin really meant what he said. He immediately ran excitedly to the front yard, preparing to ask Xiaoliang to teach him how to farm.
There were three girls, one big and one small, laughing happily in the room. When Zhang Jiaqiang came in, they immediately stopped laughing.
"Godfather, from now on I will call you shit, it doesn't stink!" Zhou Xiaomeng rushed up and hugged his thigh and shouted.
I don’t know what method Ye Xiumei used to coax this child to recognize the nickname Shit, and Zhang Jiaqiang couldn’t help but feel a chill.
Erya and Baoer stood up to say goodbye.
Zhang Jiaqiang was the only three people left in the room. He patted the little girl's butt and said, "Go and play with your grandparents. My godfather has something to discuss with his godmother!"
Zhou Xiaomeng imitated an adult and snorted coldly, shook her head and ran out the door.
"Honey, why do you look at me so strangely?" Zhang Jiaqiang lay lazily on Ye Xiumei's soft lap.
Ye Xiumei said softly with a playful smile on her lips.
"Tell me the truth, what do you want to do when you take Bao'er home?"
Zhang Jiaqiang smelled the strong smell of vinegar and immediately turned over and threw her on the bed.
"I've been suspicious all day long, but now I'm going to show you how strong my heart is for you!"
