60s: I have a store

Chapter 470 Zhou Zhiming Impresses the Villagers

Since the old branch secretary agreed, he said, "After the villagers finish work, I will call a village meeting. You two must be there on time."

He doesn't want to fail at the critical moment.

Zhou Zhiming quickly assured: "Old Party Secretary, don't worry, we will be there on time."

Although Zhou Yimin didn't say anything, he still nodded.

After everyone in the village finished work and had a full meal, they called a village meeting. Then, when all the villagers were present, the old Party Secretary began to say, "Yimin and Zhiming proposed to repair the roadblocks in the village, so this village meeting was held."

For such a major event, even if not everyone in the village agrees, at least the majority of people must agree, so that the matter can be implemented, otherwise it will have to be abandoned.

After hearing this, the villagers began to discuss it, but most of them thought that the road was bad, so why should we repair it? It was a costly and laborious thing, so why should we do it?

Seeing this scene, Zhou Zhiming became a little restless. If the situation did not change, the proposal to build the road would definitely not be passed.

Then Zhou Zhiming took the initiative to step forward and told the villagers about some accidents that had happened to them due to the bad roads in the village. Even his own grandmother had died because of the bad roads.

Zhou Zhiming's voice trembled a little, and his eyes were slightly red. His words were like a heavy hammer, hitting the hearts of the villagers fiercely: "Do you remember? Last winter, Uncle Wang went to work in the fields, and it was dark when he came back.

Because the road was bumpy, he missed a step and fell into a ditch on the side of the road, breaking his leg. Uncle Wang was bedridden for several months, and not only did he suffer, but his family was also worried about him.

Zhou Zhiming paused, took a deep breath, and continued, "And Aunt Li, who pushed a cart full of vegetables to the village warehouse. Because the road was bumpy, the vegetables were scattered all over the ground, and the vegetables that the villagers had worked hard to grow were wasted. Have you all forgotten these things?"

As the villagers listened to Zhou Zhiming's story, the originally noisy scene gradually quieted down, and everyone's face showed a thoughtful expression.

Some people began to murmur, recalling the inconvenience and pain caused by the bad roads.

This kind of thing has happened countless times in Zhoujiazhuang, but everyone has to suffer the consequences every time.

However, there are always some people who don't know what is good for them and just turn a blind eye to it because such things have never happened in their families.

"This is all because you are too careless. Look, there have never been any problems in our family."

When the people around heard this, they were a little angry but couldn't find any reason to refute.

Zhou Zhiming continued, and suddenly his voice choked up: "I will never forget what happened to my grandma. That day, my grandma went to give me an umbrella. When she reached the entrance of the village, it suddenly rained heavily and the road became muddy.

Grandma accidentally slipped and hit her head on a stone on the side of the road... When I arrived, grandma had already..."

Zhou Zhiming couldn't continue speaking and tears welled up in his eyes.

This incident was quite shocking in the village at the time, but in the end, as time passed, it was left unresolved and finally forgotten in everyone's memory.

Now that it has been brought forward again, everyone's memory comes back all at once.

The scene was silent, with only Zhou Zhiming's sobs echoing in the air.

The villagers were deeply touched. They remembered the voice, smile and appearance of Grandma Zhou Zhiming, as well as the various difficulties they had encountered in their lives because of the road.

At this time, an old man stood up, his voice was a little hoarse, but full of power: "Zhiming is right, this road should indeed be repaired.

We can't let such tragedies happen again. For ourselves and our future generations, we must repair the road!"

"Yes, fix the road!" "No more delay!"

The villagers echoed one after another, and the original voices of opposition gradually disappeared, replaced by firm support. After Zhou Zhiming's emotional and painful narration, the atmosphere at the scene changed fundamentally.

The villagers no longer have the doubts and oppositions they had before, but instead are full of firm support and determination.

Everyone gathered around and discussed the specific matters of road construction, their eyes filled with longing for a better life in the future.

Seeing this, Zhou Yimin and Zhou Zhiming looked at each other, and both showed relieved smiles in their eyes. They knew that the villagers had been convinced and the road construction plan had hope.

The old party secretary looked at the excited villagers and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

He cleared his throat and said loudly, "Since everyone agrees to build the road, let's work together to get it done! Yimin and Zhiming have already come up with a preliminary plan. Next, let's discuss the specific implementation plan together."

So, under the chairmanship of the old branch secretary, the villagers began to discuss the details of road construction enthusiastically.

Everyone offered suggestions and put forward many valuable opinions and suggestions.

At this time, the old branch secretary said, "Since this idea was proposed by Yimin and Zhiming, why don't we let them take charge?"

After hearing this, the villagers of Zhoujiazhuang expressed their agreement.

Zhou Zhiming suggested at this time: "Why not let Yimin be the main person in charge, and I will just be responsible for assisting."

For him, as long as the village agrees to build the road, it doesn't matter what he does.

The old branch secretary was still a little tempted by this experience: "Since everyone has no objection, then it's settled."

Just as the old secretary finished speaking, Zhou Yimin said, "Old secretary, I don't agree?"

Everyone present was a little puzzled. Since Zhou Zhiming was willing to give up his leadership position, what reason did Zhou Yimin have to object?

You know, this is a big deal. When all the roads in the village are repaired, there will definitely be a record in the family tree.

It is said that so-and-so is leading the road construction project in the village, which will benefit future generations.

This must be so attractive that if the people who proposed it were not Zhou Yimin and Zhou Zhiming, someone in the village would definitely grab this position.

Zhou Zhiming was a little puzzled: "Yimin, what do you think?"

Zhou Yimin explained at this time: "I think the person in charge should be Brother Zhiming. He was the first to bring up this matter."

"Besides, I have to go to the steel mill from time to time. I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of both ends."

"Building a road in the village was supposed to be a good thing, but in the end, because of this problem, it caused problems with the road construction, which would be bad."

Zhou Zhiming said at this time: "Yimin, don't worry, when you go to the steel plant, I will be responsible and will not let the village road construction cause any problems."

Zhou Yimin still shook his head. He simply didn't want to go through so much trouble.

The old branch secretary also saw what Zhou Yimin was thinking, so he said, "Zhiming, since Yimin doesn't want to be the person in charge, then you should be the one!"

When Zhou Zhiming heard that the old branch secretary had spoken, he had no choice but to agree.

Seeing Zhou Zhiming agreed, the old branch secretary and Zhou Yimin both smiled with satisfaction.
