Chapter 109 Villagers Meeting
Zhou Yimo is responsible for handling the affairs of the county government, and Xie Xuanan is responsible for renovating Zuiyuexuan.
Li Qingqing returned to Lihua Village.
Her original intention was to live a leisurely rural life, and now it is natural for her to continue renovating her own house.
By the way, help Zhou Yimo transform Lihua Village.
Li Qingqing saw that the progress of making blue bricks had accelerated. She took several floor plans drawn by Zhou Yimo, found the village chief, and notified everyone to hold a meeting immediately.
When they heard that it was about building a house, the villagers came quickly.
After seeing that representatives from every household had arrived, the village chief briefly talked about the land purchase and then asked Li Qingqing to introduce it in detail.
Li Qingqing was not polite either. She hung a few drawings on the wall and said:
"This is the rendering of the house we will live in in the future. Next to each drawing is the building area of the house. You can purchase the appropriate building land in advance according to your needs."
The villagers looked at the renderings curiously and talked about it.
"Oh, this is the picture drawn by Zhou's nephew? It's really beautiful!"
"Let me tell you, this kid from the Zhou family has great potential. Look, this painting looks just like the real thing!"
Li Qingqing: Ahem! Ahem! Please pay attention to the main point!
Li Qingqing was helpless. She had to hold the meeting properly and not deviate from the topic.
She had no choice but to point to the drawings and explain them one by one to everyone, and also talked about the benefits of living on the flat land on the mountainside.
The drawings were so clear and concise that when the villagers heard them, they were immediately filled with longing for the new place they were about to live in.
Everyone was extremely excited.
However, everyone still had a hint of fear about the flat land on the mountainside.
I usually don't want to go to that place, but now I have to settle down there, and I can't help feeling a little uneasy.
One villager couldn't help but say, "Mrs. Zhou, there are too many wild animals in the back mountain. I'm worried it's not safe to live there."
"Sister-in-law, please don't worry, the back mountain is safe now." Li Qingqing replied with a smile.
She looked around and found that some people still seemed hesitant, so she spoke to comfort them:
"Don't worry, I'm always hunting, and I'll make sure everyone is safe. In the future, I'll also teach the children some basic hunting techniques so they can protect themselves when they encounter danger."
Li Qingqing pointed to the map hanging on the wall and continued, "Everyone can rest assured to purchase mountain land within the red line area I've circled. There will be absolutely no danger."
The villagers nodded one after another, feeling a little relieved.
At this time, a villager raised a new question:
“If we move into the new house, who will own the old house?”
This issue obviously attracted everyone's attention, and the villagers turned their eyes to the village chief who was busy registering.
"The old house area still belongs to you, there is no doubt about that. As for how to plan it——"
The village chief stopped writing, looked at Li Qingqing, and asked, "Daughter-in-law of the Zhou family, what suggestions do you have?"
I don’t know when it started, but the village chief has developed a habit of wanting to hear Li Qingqing’s ideas.
Li Qingqing smiled and said, "We have very few usable rice paddies in Lihua Village. This is a good opportunity to redevelop the site of the old houses into a rice paddy and build irrigation channels."
This is a good suggestion. The low-lying land of the old site can be easily reclaimed even if it is used as farmland.
The village chief nodded, he had the same idea.
If villagers don’t engage in agriculture, they are not doing their job properly. As long as they have fields and land, why would they be afraid of starving to death?
Therefore, Li Qingqing's proposal was unanimously agreed upon by the villagers.
The village chief smiled and said, "Since everyone agrees, let's start site selection and registration."
Move to the new home as soon as possible and return the old site to the farmland as soon as possible.
Li Qingqing then explained the specific measures for building houses to the villagers in detail.
The villagers gradually became more excited.
Everyone then realized that although it seemed that they had to pay for the land with their own money when relocating, they actually did not lose anything.
They just bought a piece of land, and the bricks and tiles used to build the house were provided free of charge. Anyone who personally participated in making bricks and tiles and doing odd jobs when repairing the house would also be paid.
This is a benefit unique to the fifty-seven households in Lihua Village!
"I've decided to choose this two-story courtyard." After listening to Li Qingqing's introduction and looking at the blueprint, Chang Shunniang was the first to speak.
"Thanks to Qingqing's care, my parents got jobs and I was assigned to cook. Now we can afford to buy this piece of land."
The village chief quickly marked the number 2 drawing next to Yang Changshun's name.
Li Qingqing smiled and said, "Aunt, it's because you are willing to work hard. Look at Changshun, he is diligent and smart, and your cooking skills are also well-known in the village."
Before Chang Shun's mother could answer, the grandmother of the Zhao family next to her also found a suitable residence. She pointed at the blueprint and said quickly:
"I have a large family, and this courtyard house is quite suitable for us. Village chief, please help me register. I want the unit number four."
Grandma Zhao came with her two daughters-in-law, her two daughters-in-law, and her grandchildren.
The three male laborers in the family were all sent to serve in the army, and their family could not do the heavy work in the fields. So, Zhao's grandmother decided to take on the sewing work together with her two daughters-in-law.
Recently, there are many migrant workers in Lihua Village, and workers often have their clothes torn. After hearing the news, Zhao's grandmother asked Li Qingqing to rent an empty bamboo house. While doing mending for others, she continued to take on outsourcing garment manufacturing. The family made a lot of money.
This immediately gave Li Qingqing an idea. When Lihua Village successfully moved and the bamboo building became vacant, she planned to rent it out and turn this area into a farmers' market.
The villagers are still in the process of selecting a site. Some families with small populations have chosen a courtyard with only one entrance.
But most villagers still prefer the house type on drawing No. 2. Although the population is small now, life is getting better and better, and there will always be a time to have more children.
Some villagers could use cash to buy land, while others who could not afford the money at the moment agreed to pay off their debts with work.
Most of the villagers in Lihua Village came here to escape famine in the early years. They are not lazy people. As long as there is work to do, they will always pay off their debts.
At this time, the site selection is nearing completion.
Once the site selection is completed and the village chief leads the villagers to measure the boundaries on site, they can then wait to build the houses.
The villagers were all very happy.
But the happier I am, the more nostalgic I feel in my heart.
"I've moved around a lot, but I never thought that one day I'd end up living in such a nice house in Lihua Village!"
"If my son comes back and sees how well off our family is, he'll probably be happy."
"Oh, it would be great if the child's father could come back soon."
The villagers chatted briefly, and the originally lively atmosphere gradually became dull. Everyone began to fall silent, and someone muttered softly:
“I don’t know when the war will end.”
"Yes, if the war could end sooner, we could be reunited as a family." Another voice echoed, with a hint of sob.
Sadness gradually appeared in the eyes of the villagers.
Li Qingqing saw this and quickly comforted him:
"The war will eventually end. Now all we can do is settle down and live a good life. Moreover, if our lives improve and we have the ability, we may be able to provide them with some necessary material support."
"Mrs. Zhou is right!" the village chief also said.
"If you can take care of your family well, you can send some warm clothes to your men and children in the winter so that they can feel at ease when they are away from home."
An old man heard this and said:
"My son went to the border last year. I've been following the war. I heard that they won another victory some time ago. The emperor has sent envoys to the Protectorate, intending to grant the southern region to the third prince."
"This is great news!" someone in the crowd responded excitedly. "I heard that the Third Prince is very friendly to the soldiers and the people. Our Yuntai County is under his jurisdiction, and our lives will definitely get better and better in the future."
The villagers had no idea that the third prince they were talking about was their cousin Yun Jing who was staying at the Zhou family.
I only know that the days ahead will get better and better, and color will begin to appear in my eyes again.
Li Qingqing was a little surprised after hearing these words. She didn't expect that Mu Yunjing had such a good reputation.
When Yunying came back, she said that after Mu Yunjing and other envoys announced the imperial decree, they would come to Qiu Shui Town, but no one knew when they would come.
