Return to Splendid

In fifteen days, Xing Yi basically visited all the villages, river branches and valleys around the reservoir area.

On this day, he came to the old stone bridge site in front of Xiaohewan Village.

The old stone bridge is gone, and the half-broken bridge piers on one end and the other end of the river are like two dying lions lying on both sides, looking at each other across the river.

People brought a fiber rope from both ends of the river bank and a wooden boat collected from the people. It can carry more than ten people at a time and ferry back and forth between the two banks.

Xing Yi kept thinking about the previous scene of Shiqiao.

The stone bridge has a long history. It is already a hundred years old. In the past, it was more than enough for people to walk on the bridge with horses.

Although the bridge railings are strong and the carved patterns are antique, several layers have peeled off due to weathering, and the lime mortar in the seams has also fallen off.

The bridge is gone, but the stone tablet recording the process of building the bridge is still standing there.

The location of the stele is higher.

The official characters engraved on the monument refer to a county magistrate who did a lot of good things for the local people in his early years. Before he left, he took the lead and mobilized the country gentry to raise funds to build the bridge. Not long after it was built, the people were transferred away. .

The common people missed the good deeds he had done, so they selected a good bluestone, polished it, carved it, and erected it at the head of the bridge, with three words engraved on it: Go and think about the monument.

It is rare for someone to be remembered like this after they are gone.But when you are in power, you are arrogant, don't do practical things, enrich your own pockets, and make people cheer for you. No one mentions you after you leave, which is sad.

In the previous life, the flood destroyed the bridge and the stone tablet fell into the water and was washed down for more than a hundred meters. It was found in the water near the washed-out house.

The stele pedestal was very strange. It was taken by a large family in the city. The wealthy family ignored the culture carried on the stele pedestal and only liked the patterns carved on three sides. It was unique and pleasing to the eye, so they placed it under the bonsai as the legs of the bonsai. Come down.

I heard about this later, and Xing Yi thought that when the construction started, they should mobilize their efforts to fish up the stone monument and find a safe place to place it first. After the bridge was rebuilt, it would continue to stand at the head of the bridge.

If someone thinks it is inappropriate, then send it to the cultural relics museum. After all, the items, the words engraved on it, and the content from more than a hundred years ago are very meaningful for the enlightenment of future generations.

In less than half a year, the new bridge will be rebuilt.

Logically speaking, the reconstruction of the stone bridge has nothing to do with him. He just thought about the stone tablet and the base. He can still remember the words on the stone tablet. After all, it can be regarded as a piece of local history and a rare cultural relic. .Pay attention to where it goes, do your best to keep it intact and preserve it. As a native of this country, it is completely right.

A gust of wind blew in his face, and half a newspaper flew out of nowhere and hit him directly in the face. When he took the newspaper, he accidentally saw a row of bold letters: "Notice of solicitation for design proposals of the Bay River Bridge."

Xing Yi looked carefully at the date in the newspaper and saw clearly that including the deadline, there were still five days left, and he didn't know how many more proposals had been solicited.

In my memory, the Wanhe Bridge was handed over to a construction unit from another county. The construction was stopped halfway through for unknown reasons. The original unit withdrew and took the drawings with it.

After two months of delay, the county invited Sun Guoxi to a one-day meeting. When he came back, he announced to the public that he would take over the construction of the Bay River Bridge project. In fact, he inherited a mess. Hongda Company almost exhausted all financial and material resources to complete the project. mission accomplished.

Xing Yi didn't know whether there was such a thing since he had never seen a solicitation notice in his previous life. He had never seen a solicitation notice and no one had told him about it, but not knowing it didn't mean it didn't exist.

Now, half of the newspaper thrown at his face informed him in this way.

There was a sensitive nerve twitching in his brain. He kneaded and squeezed it a few times, and a concept popped up. Maybe this change was made for him.

The moment the stone bridge collapsed by the water, I was in the nearby Xiaohewan Village. When I think of the situation at that time, the roar of the collapse of the stone bridge will echo in my ears.

A lot of time has passed, and he has long been looking forward to the reconstruction of the bridge. It would be great to be able to contribute to the reconstruction of the Yuhe Bridge. He does not want to miss this opportunity. After all, he is no stranger to this industry.

That night in Xiaohewan Village is destined to become a lifelong memory. I can never let go of the construction of Yin Tianshun's new house.

The pace followed my thoughts and I came to Xiaohewan Village. The village is now very peaceful. The river flows slowly, the color is no longer so turbid, and there are birds with their wings raised, gently passing by the water.

Following the instructions from the villagers, he came to the homestead assigned to Yin Tianshun in the village. There were a lot of sand, gravel, wood and bricks piled in front of him, but no one started to work on it.

Yin Tianshun's family is still temporarily living in a warehouse vacated by the village committee.

Team leader Tian was called from the back mountain and met with him.

Xing Yi asked: "Why isn't Yin Tianshun's house still moving? So much time has passed."

Team leader Tian said: "We have to wait until the autumn grains arrive and the wheat is planted before we start construction."

The countryside pays attention to the seasons. When the livelihood is basically gone and everyone is free, then it is time to build and repair houses.

Xing Yi participated in building a house in the factory. As the saying goes, stones are afraid of going up to the house. It seems that there is a lot of building materials, but when it comes to going up the base, it is simply not enough.

Team leader Tian noticed his worries and settled the score. The above subsidy plus everyone's support was used to tailor the project to suit the needs of the project. The project could be repaired as big as it could be built, don't force it.

"How much subsidy did you get from above?"

"forty thousand."

It will take more than ten years to do this, and the money from the higher authorities may be more. The situation is not very good now, but this is about the same.We must also promote self-reliance and hard work.

Yin Tianshun also came down from the mountain. After talking to Xing Yi, he could tell that he was a little unwilling. With only the current materials, the scale of the construction could not match the washed-out house.

Xing Yi said to Yin Tianshun: "Building a house is a century-old plan. There are four people in your family. When the son grows up, he will live alone. There should also be a breeding pen. It cannot be too small. It must meet the needs. In this way, we can build a new house." I will take responsibility for you for the cement and steel bars."

Team leader Tian looked at him blankly, wondering if he heard wrongly.

Until he said it again, Team Leader Tian's eyes shone and he said, "This is the first time in my life that I have heard such words from an outsider."

Team leader Tian pushed Yin Tianshun: "Why don't you say thank you quickly and just stand there in a daze? Didn't you hear clearly? There is no problem with your plan."

Yin Tianshun murmured: "I don't want to be too big, I just want to return to my original appearance."

Xing Yi said: "It's okay to be a little bigger than the original one. I will definitely do what I promised to help you."

Several people gathered together and started talking about it after learning about it.

"Yin Tianshun is going to wake up laughing from his dream this time."

"I met a noble person."

"Good man rewarded."

"Brother Tianshun, go get a bottle of wine."
