rebirth of cataclysm

Hu Mingchen stood on the bridge. The canyon was dense and there was no water at all. The mountains on both sides were also bleak with vegetation. This cold environment stimulated Hu Mingchen's mood even more.

In the past, people in Huangni Village had to pass through this canyon stream if they wanted to leave the village. Hu Mingchen himself had crossed it countless times. Not long ago, Hu Mingchen even almost fell into this stream because of rising water.

But now, Ganggou, a stream that usually doesn't have much water, finally has a bridge. No matter in normal times or in the rainy season, the villagers no longer have to worry about it. They can walk on a stable bridge wherever they want.

Although this bridge is weak and insignificant, it is far inferior to the Yangtze River Bridge that Chairman Mao described as "a bridge flies to the north and south, and a natural chasm becomes a thoroughfare." But to the people of Huangni Village, this is the bridge of life, and it is also a natural chasm.

A bridge to people's livelihood that changes the way.

"Xiaochen, why, it's your first time to cross this bridge. It's very touching, right?" Hu Jianqiang lit a cigarette and stood on the bridge with Hu Mingchen, looking at the canyon road.

"Of course I am very touched. We people in Huangni Village have been looking forward to such a bridge for how many years. Now it is not only easy for people to walk, but even cars can cross it. A few years ago, it would have been unthinkable." Hu Mingchen

sighed.

"It's not all up to you. If it weren't for you, this bridge wouldn't be repairable. The village can't afford tens of thousands of dollars, and the township can't afford it either. In order to open it to traffic before the Chinese New Year, everyone

But don’t be afraid of hardship or tiredness and keep working hard. The folks are motivated, but it’s a pity that they didn’t have money before. To buy cement, buy steel bars, buy cement, buy sand and gravel, if you don’t pay, you won’t have these things.” Hu Jianqiang spat out.

flue.

"Don't just talk about me, you, the village director, also deserve the same credit. All of this was accomplished under your organization and operation, and of course, the efforts of the villagers."

"Now that I have become the village director, these are all my duties. The villagers don't think it's great that I actively participated in it. Instead, they think that your family has contributed money. If they don't contribute, they will not be able to walk on this bridge in the future.

Shameless, haha, even after the bridge was repaired, someone suggested erecting a merit monument for your family. That’s why I called you and asked what you meant, but you rejected it."

"What kind of monument to merit is there? It doesn't make much sense to spend more money. The real reputation is in people's hearts, not on a stone monument. I am willing to spend some money to help build roads, for everyone and for ourselves.

I have never thought about asking anyone to be virtuous, and to behave and do things based on conscience, and justice is in the heart of the people." Hu Mingchen said.

At that time, many people indeed suggested that Hu Jianqiang should erect a monument to commend his meritorious deeds. Hu Jianqiang called Hu Mingchen. When Mingchen heard what he meant, he refused without thinking.

"That is to say, you can figure it out. If it were someone else, I would take the initiative if no one mentioned it. Why, do you still want to watch? Everyone at home is waiting for you to go back." Hu Jianqiang shook his head and said.

"Ah, let's go home." Hu Mingchen sighed, turned around, opened the door and got into the car.

Hu Jianqiang got in the car and drove back. From the bridge to the village, there was a long stretch, almost two kilometers, where there were no households. And in this stretch, due to the steep mountains and thin soil, there were almost no human beings.

After entering the village, the deserted and desolate situation disappeared. There was only a few smoke from every household, children were playing in front of and behind the house, and sporadic firecrackers could even be heard.

When they hear the sound of a car, both adults and children will run to the door of their house to take a look. When they see that it is Hu Jianqiang's car, the adults will greet him warmly and even let him eat.

On New Year's Eve, it was naturally impossible for Hu Jianqiang to eat at other people's homes, not to mention that there was Hu Mingchen in the car who had not been home for several months. However, the warm greetings of the villagers reflected Hu Jianqiang's image and status in everyone's minds.

The construction of the road leading to the village has truly made Hu Jianqiang a hero in the village and a person who can be talked about after dinner.

The former village director Wu Chuhui has been completely outclassed by Hu Jianqiang, and no one takes him seriously anymore.

The eyes of the people are sharp. Wu Chuhui has been the village chief for so many years, but Huangni Village has not changed at all. It is still so poor, with no roads and no electricity. As soon as Hu Jianqiang came up, in just half a year,

, he opened the road from the village to the outside, and also built a bridge over the ditch. Based on this achievement, everyone who saw him would give him a thumbs up.

"Hey, why does this road still go through Wu Chuhui's house? Remember, didn't he refuse to let his land be occupied? Why doesn't the road go from above?" When the pickup truck drove up behind Wu Qing's house,

At that time, Hu Mingchen asked curiously.

Along the way, Hu Mingchen kept looking at the situation on both sides of the road. Although the road was only repaired, Hu Mingchen felt that Huangni Village seemed to have changed, so his eyes were full of curiosity.

"Wu Tuhui's son didn't agree at first. Because of this, he had a big quarrel with his brother Wu Tuhuang's family. The two families almost fell out and started fighting. Later, their elder Wu Qing came out to mediate. Between Wu Qing and Wu Tu

Under Huang's pressure and explanation, Wu Chuhui finally relented. I also considered making it as convenient as possible for the villagers, so the road finally passed through this place." Hu Jianqiang explained.

"This kind of person is just looking for trouble on his own." Hu Mingchen agreed.

"Although Lu Xiu left the three families, the relationship between the brothers Wu Chuhui and Wu Chuhuang is still a bit tense and has not been completely reconciled. The sons of the two families started having sex in the mountains again. This time

Everything was caused by Wu Chuhui's stupid son. If he hadn't acted like that at the beginning, how would he be where he is now. Now, let alone his family, even in their group, he doesn't have much prestige left.

Hu Jianqiang said while driving.

Although this road has been dug, it is a dirt road, so it is full of potholes. The pickup truck does not drive very fast, and there is not even a retaining wall on the roadside, so you still have to be careful.

All the way down, the pickup truck drove for a few more minutes and finally arrived at Hu Mingchen's bungalow.

As soon as the brakes sounded, Hu Yujiao and Hu Yandie ran out the door first to greet them, followed closely by Hu Jianjun and Jiang Yucai.

"Didn't you bring a lot of things home last time? Why did you bring so many things this time?" Jiang Yucai asked when he saw Hu Mingchen and Hu Jianqiang constantly moving things from the pickup truck.

"These things are for grandma and eldest father's family, and some are for Hu Mingyi's family and surrounding neighbors." Hu Mingchen replied.

"It's understandable to bring something to your grandma and eldest father's house. How come there are even neighbors around? Do you really have so much money that you have nowhere to spend it?" Jiang Yucai frowned.

"Distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. People usually help our family a lot. A little something of little value is nothing." Hu Mingchen said nonchalantly.

"I brought the baby belt with me. What are you talking about? It's true. As a human being, we should repay kindness. Just like Xiaochen said, no one has ever been harsh on us." Hu Jianjun helped Hu Mingchen and said.

"I think your two father-in-laws are sluts."

"Stop chirping and go back and watch your fire. Don't stew until it becomes mushy." Hu Jianjun waved impatiently at Jiang Yucai.

After unloading the things from the car, Hu Mingchen did not ask everyone to carry them home, but distributed them nearby. He asked Hu Yandie and Hu Yujiao to deliver them to neighbors such as the Tong family and the Xu family. Zhong Ying and Hu Erhua's items were given to Hu Jianqiang.

Help take it back. Hu Jianye’s family and Hu Mingyi’s family were sent by Hu Mingchen in person.

"Xiaochen is back. Oh, this morning I asked your father when you would be back. You are..." When Hu Jianye saw Hu Mingchen at the door of Hu Jianye's house, he was extremely happy.

"Daddy, I just arrived. I came back from the city and brought you some things for the New Year. Here are two bottles of wine, a pack of sugar and a cigarette, and a box of fruit."

"Oh, why...we also bought new year's goods, why do we need you to bring them?" Hu Jianye hurriedly helped Hu Mingchen take the things over.

Liu Chunhua and Hu Xiangxiang heard people talking outside in the kitchen and hurried out. When they saw it was Hu Mingchen, and then looked at the things Hu Jianye took over, Liu Chunhua's smile was brighter than Hu Jianye's.

"Xiaochen is back, cook quickly, cook quickly, I will prepare the dishes soon, and we will have dinner at my house in a while. It smells delicious. Hurry up and grab some melon seeds and peanuts for Xiaochen..."

"No, aunt, no, my family has already prepared it. I just brought some things and I won't eat the rice. Sister, there's no need to catch melon seeds and peanuts. I haven't even entered the house yet when I came back. I'm here

Just go back." Hu Mingchen quickly declined.

Liu Chunhua is now a completely different person from before. This is of course due to the fact that Hu Jianjun arranged a living for Hu Mingyong and Hu Jianye, allowing them to have an income, thus improving the family's economic conditions.

Now the whole village is fawning over Hu Mingchen's family. Under such a situation, how can Liu Chunhua not change his attitude. Hu Mingchen's family has made a fortune now. A little leakage from his fingers is enough for ordinary people to eat, drink and have diarrhea.

.

After leaving Hu Jianye's house, Hu Mingchen sent some gifts to Hu Mingyi's house.

Long Cui'e wanted to keep Hu Mingchen for dinner, and Hu Xiaomin and Hu Xiaohua even held Hu Mingchen.

Hu Mingchen had to talk hard before he got away from the enthusiasm of his family and went home. If today was not the New Year's Eve, Hu Mingchen probably wouldn't be able to escape. If he didn't eat this meal, he wouldn't be able to leave.

In the past six months, Hu Mingyi's family has changed even more. Because of the movie theater in the township, his family has an income of more than a thousand yuan a month at best. During the Chinese New Year, his family has to make even more careful preparations.

Well, one Chinese New Year holiday can cost tens of thousands. His family saw the hot scene last year with his own eyes.

That's it, Hu Mingyi and Hu Dehua haven't gone home yet.

On the way home, Hu Mingchen felt very relaxed and happy. His efforts have improved the lives of some people around him. Such harvest and satisfaction are not easy for ordinary people to experience.
