"It's okay, it's okay. I just think of my dad. If he was still here, he would be very happy." Wu Fan wiped his tears.
"Hey, yes, he is still a little less lucky. Otherwise, if you were admitted to Tianbao University, you are a little miracle doctor, and you are so enthusiastic about public welfare in the village, how happy he would be, hey, too. I don’t know where he died,” Liu Tiansheng said with a sigh.
"After I finish the work here, that is, tomorrow, I will start looking for my father again. I want to see him alive and his body after death," Wu Fan said firmly.
"Okay, okay, we need to find it. Let's look for it together when we have time." Liu Tiansheng glanced at the people around him and said.
"Well, let's go together and search everywhere. One day we will find your dad," Li Xiaoping and others replied in unison.
Half an hour later, everyone finished lunch.
In rural areas, burials have always been carried out with thick wooden coffins. Anyway, there are many large cedar trees in the mountainous areas.
The wooden coffin is so heavy that it usually takes twelve people to carry it up the mountain smoothly. These twelve people are called Hercules.
Although there are no young men at home in Taoyuan Village, they are all men in their fifties or sixties, but there is still no need to worry, they can carry it up the mountain smoothly, after all, they have the experience of carrying coffins.
Wu Fan and Li Xiaoping, including Liu Tiansheng, are all strong men.
So after they finished eating, they began to tie the "dragon pole" on the coffin.
An older "Li Sheng" muttered a few words, made some gestures with his hands, and placed a rooster on the dragon pole.
It is really strange to say that the rooster has been squatting steadily on it without being tied up, without crows or jumping, as if it was guarding the coffin.
Nowadays, funerals are very lively. Bands are invited to play, play and sing, and there are even performing arts activities. Firecrackers go off non-stop, and wreaths are everywhere, lest the world will not know about the descendants. Like a conscience.
But people in Taoyuan Village have simple funeral arrangements because they have no money.
We couldn’t afford a band, so just a few people from the village beat gongs and drums, set off a few firecrackers, and dozens of people attended the funeral, that’s all.
An hour and a half later, Chen Shimei was sent up the mountain.
The green couplets on the door frame of Liu Meihua's house were torn off, and everything related to Chen Shimei was basically cleared out. Except for the residual sadness of the relatives, it was no longer possible to tell that there had been a funeral.
Although people are mortal, living relatives should still live well.
When Wu Fan just sat down to drink a cup of tea with the village chief and others, Zhao Yongle, wearing a Chinese tunic suit, walked over with Xiao, took out a box of high-end cigarettes, and handed them out one by one.
Village Chief Liu Tiansheng looked at the cigarette in his hand and said with a smile, "Bureau Zhao, thanks to you, this is the first time I smoke such a good cigarette."
"Yes. Well, village chief, I only have two boxes in my pocket, give them both to you." Zhao Yongle saw that Wu Fan respected this person very much.He was a village chief, so he took out all the cigarettes in his pocket and gave them to him.
"No, no, how can I ask for your cigarettes? You are a big leader. I was just joking." Liu Tiansheng declined quickly.
However, Zhao Yongle pushed it to him again and said, "This is a small matter, and it is not considered bribery. There is no need to go online. Take it. I have it in my car, but the car can't be driven." "
"By the way," Liu Tiansheng seemed to have immediately remembered his mission, and said quickly, "Well, Director Zhao, we are preparing to raise funds to build roads, how about you help us get some money? Yeah, you can bring the car up next time you come."
"We need to build roads, you guys need to build roads," Zhao Yongle said with his eyes widened, "This road for you is really too difficult to walk on. I don’t dare to do it a second time. However, there are still many roads like this in rural areas. The country can’t care about it. It will cost at least 5 million to build this road. How can you raise so much money?"
As he spoke, he glanced at the low adobe houses around him and the earthen toilets that no one dared to enter.
In a village like this, where the income is less than a few dollars a year, there is such an ambition to build roads.
"Yes, I don't have the ability. This is what Wu Fan proposed. He also said that we should raise funds first. If there is not enough money, he will find a way." Liu Tiansheng patted the side proudly. Wu Fan's shoulders.
"Ah, Wu Fan." Zhao Yongle glanced at him, confused at first, but then said as if he remembered something, "Since it was Wu Fan who suggested it, let's do it, I promise to give you ten Ten thousand yuan, okay?"
"Okay, okay, great." Hearing that it was one hundred thousand, the village chief Liu Tiansheng jumped up excitedly and held Zhao Yongle's hand tightly. He said repeatedly, "Thank you so much, thank you so much"
"By the way, I heard that you will also help us coordinate 4G network coverage, otherwise my mobile phone will be useless." Wu Fan said He took out his cell phone.
This mobile phone was given to him by Lin Yin. It is the most popular brand in the world. If you want to buy it in the city, you have to queue up all night.
Zhao Yongle naturally knows the goods and nodded, "Okay, Wu Fan, I can't let your good phone turn into a brick. I'll coordinate with the people at the communication company."
" "Okay."
"Then Wu Fan, it's my business," Zhao Yongle reminded.
If I don’t go to collect herbs, it will be dark. How will I go down the mountain then? On such a muddy road, I am afraid that my sole will slip during the day and fall off the cliff.
"Well, let's go." Wu Fan made an invitation gesture.
After walking a few steps away from Zhao Yongle, Wu Fan turned to Liu Tiansheng and said, "Uncle, why don't you use the village committee's phone number to call the phone bank on your punch card and check their compensation?" How much money can you give me so that we can plan when to start building the road?"
"Okay, okay, I'll do it right away. You go ahead and do it. I'll ask the village accountant to go with me and promise not to commit corruption. One penny of it, haha" Liu Tiansheng said with a smilesaid.
How could he be unhappy? In the past, it was difficult to get funds whether from the township or the county. After all, the county and township finances did not have much money.
How much tax revenue can a small mountain town have?
It is taken from the people and used for the people. If there is no money coming in, how can there be money for the villages and towns below.
Now, Zhao Yongle took the initiative to give him one hundred thousand as soon as he opened his mouth. He was so excited that he died.
Moreover, the compensation that the couple paid to Wu Fan was estimated to be tens of thousands of yuan. Haha, it was one step closer to the goal of building roads.
Wu Fan took Zhao Yongle to the back hill of the village.
There is no one else here at all, so the content of the two people chatting has become closer.
Zhao Yongle said out of nowhere, "Wu Fan, you shouldn't be married yet. It's hard to even find a girlfriend. After all, it's too poor here. Let's go to college." I have a daughter who is just nineteen years old this year and is in her first year of college. You can date her and if we get along, she can be my son-in-law."
