I, Sun Liancheng, have the universe in my heart, Zhong Xiaoai admires me

Sun Dewang added a handful of grass to the sheep pen, then sat under the eaves and smoked his pipe.

After seeing this, Sun Liancheng walked over and sat down next to Sun Dewang.

"Dad, please smoke less dry tobacco in the future. The cigarettes I bought for you are not real."

Sun Dewang knocked on the pipe and said, "Hey, that's what you office workers smoke. It's boring and I can't get used to it."

"Liancheng, you've graduated. Which unit have you been assigned to? Is your work tiring?"

Sun Liancheng told the truth: "Dad, I don't have a job yet. I'm going to graduate school."

Sun Dewang didn’t know what it meant to study for a master’s degree, but he knew that what his son was doing was definitely right.

He took two puffs of his cigarette and said, "It must have cost a lot to buy so many things this time, right?"

"Tell dad if you have no money, and then sell some of our sheep. We haven't touched the money you gave us."

Sun Liancheng knew that his father heard that he didn't have a job and was worried that he would run out of money.

He smiled and explained, "No need, Dad. Although I don't have a job, I can earn royalties."

"Earn royalties?" Sun Dewang didn't know what that meant. "How much money can this royalties bring?"

"Besides, you are dating a girl now, you can't let her suffer any loss."

"It's a blessing for us to have a girl from a big city fall in love with a country boy like me. We should not skimp on the money we should spend."

Sun Liancheng said: "The royalties are not bad, about 10,000 or 20,000 yuan a month."

"What? How much... one or two... ten thousand?" Sun Dewang almost dropped his jaw in shock. He had never earned so much money in his life.

"If a sheep sells for fifty dollars, then you need four hundred sheep to sell for twenty thousand dollars."

Sun Liancheng smiled and said, "So Dad, I have money now. Don't save the money I sent you. Do you understand?"

"Dad, I'll give you money later. You can rebuild your house into a brick house. It will be more magnificent than the village chief's house."

Sun Dewang thought he was dreaming, "Liancheng, your father never thought that he could live in a brick house in his lifetime. He didn't even dare to think about it."

"There's nothing I dare not think of." Sun Liancheng suddenly remembered something: "Oh, Dad, just now the village chief said that County Magistrate Li is coming to our village to hold a mobilization meeting. What is he going to mobilize?"

When this matter was mentioned, Sun Liancheng saw Sun Dewang frowning.

In fact, he had noticed just now that when the village chief talked about the mobilization meeting, the expressions on the faces of other villagers were the same as Sun Dewang's at this moment.

"Alas." Sun Dewang sighed and said, "I heard from the village head that the new county head, Li, is bold and daring. As soon as he arrived, he wanted to build roads in every village in Jinshan County."

"Building roads is a good thing, but it costs money, and the county can't come up with that much money."

"What should we do? County Magistrate Li came up with a plan to raise funds to build the road. The government would take a portion, and the people would pay for the rest themselves."

Sun Liancheng thought for a moment and said, "What do the villagers in our village mean?"

He knew that Li Dakang had forced a farmer to death because of road construction.

Sun Dewang shook his head and said, "Our village is not rich to begin with, so it would be OK if we took less."

"I just don't know how much County Magistrate Li will allocate. The walnut harvest is not good this year, so we really can't give out more."

Sun Liancheng had some understanding of the situation in Dushan Village.

There are more than one hundred households in the village, with a total of five to six hundred people.

The villagers' income basically comes from selling pecans, and each household raises a few sheep.

For families with children who go to school and elderly people who are sick and take medicine, we can only barely make ends meet.

If you want to save money, it is basically impossible.

Ordinary people don't have an easy life, otherwise some people wouldn't drink pesticides for a few dozen dollars in levy.

Li Dakang's idea of ​​building roads is good, but he cannot blindly pursue his own political achievements and ignore the actual situation and force the assignment.

"Dad, I want to go to the mobilization meeting tomorrow, too."

……

Get up the next morning.

After Sun Liancheng discovered that Zhong Xiaoai and her sister Sun Xiaojuan slept together all night.

Not only are we very familiar with each other, but we are also as good as sisters.

Zhong Xiaoai told Sun Xiaojuan about the capital and Handan University, and Sun Xiaojuan told Zhong Xiaoai about Sun Liancheng's childhood.

The two of them had a great time chatting while having breakfast.

After dinner, I learned that Sun Liancheng was going to attend a mobilization meeting.

Zhong Xiaoai was very sensible and did not pester Sun Liancheng. She took the initiative to ask to go to the back mountain with Xiaojuan to herd sheep.

Sun Liancheng and his father Sun Dewang were preparing to go to the village threshing ground.

Before leaving, Sun Dewang told Li Xiaoe to kill another old hen at home at noon.

We can’t let the girls from the city think that people from the mountains are stingy.

Sun Liancheng did not try to stop him, because he knew he could not stop him.

I guess if Zhong Xiaoai stays here for a few more days, the dozen or so old hens at home will be gone.

As they were talking, the two of them came to the threshing ground and saw that many men and women from the village had already gathered there.

The villagers gathered in groups of three or four, smoking and discussing the road construction.

"I heard that County Magistrate Li wants every family in our village to contribute fifty yuan."

"Fifty yuan? That would require selling 200 kilograms of pecans. How can we afford that much at home?"

The villagers all had sad faces.

"Building roads is a good thing, but fifty dollars is too much."

Some women rolled up their sleeves and said, "Our family definitely can't afford that much money."

"That's right. I don't believe that they can arrest us all without paying us."

Sun Liancheng remained silent, he knew that if each family really had to pay 50 yuan.

For the villagers of Dushan Village, that is not a small number.

Just as everyone was talking about it, the village chief and the accountant arrived.

The village chief stood on Mopan Mountain and said to the villagers: "Everyone please listen to me. Building roads is a good thing for everyone. We should support County Chief Li."

"But everyone should also understand the difficulties faced by County Magistrate Li. The higher-ups don't have the money, so they have no choice but to ask everyone to share the burden."

"County Magistrate Li will be here soon. Everyone, listen to what he says first. Don't make a scene. Do you understand?"

The village chief also knew that the villagers were very dissatisfied with the apportionment of the road construction fee, but he was caught in the middle and it was difficult for him.

The county magistrate's instructions had to be followed. But if we did, we would offend the villagers, which was very difficult to deal with.

The villagers all remained silent, and everyone felt that what the village chief said made sense.

Why not listen to what County Magistrate Li has to say first?

Just then, a jeep came wobbling along the mountain road.

Seeing the car coming, the village chief and the accountant hurried over to greet it.

The jeep stopped at the entrance of the village, and a young man carrying a briefcase got out from the passenger seat.

Then, a thin man with a serious expression and small, deep eyes got out of the car.

He is Li Dakang, the new county magistrate of Jinshan County.

Seeing Li Dakang, the village chief immediately came forward and said, "Hello, County Chief Li. I am Sun Tuanjie, the village chief of Dushan Village. Welcome to our Dushan Village."
