"Village chief." Qi Tongwei handed over a cigarette.
The village chief had no time for cigarette and excitedly grabbed Qi Tongwei's hand, and the cigarette was squeezed and deformed in an instant.
"Tongwei, you are finally back."
"Village chief, you and everyone have worked hard."
"It's not hard, it's not hard." The village chief pointed to the road under his feet and said, "Tongwei, you see, this road is well built, right? It was built according to your wishes. I was always worried if you didn't come back. I asked your brother Tongye to record the money you sent one by one. Do you want to take a look?"
Such a big project cost more than ten thousand yuan, which put the farmer under unprecedented pressure. He couldn't sleep well and couldn't eat well on weekdays, for he was afraid that something might go wrong.
Not to mention whether they can afford the compensation, if something goes wrong, the villagers will have to poke themselves in the back.
Now that Qi Tongwei is back, the village chief just wants to quickly check the accounts and submit a report.
"Satisfied, satisfied, but it's not enough. I hope this road can be further widened, at least to three meters wide."
The three-meter width is to leave enough width for large trucks, otherwise there is nothing that can be achieved with manpower alone.
"Ah! How much does that cost?"
Just the roads planned by Qi Tongwei, crisscrossing left and right, are already twenty kilometers long.
How much food and manpower would be needed to expand it further.
"Village chief, you don't have to worry about the money. This main road is the main one. Other roads leading to the fields will not be used for the time being."
If you want to be rich, you must first build roads. This is an unchanging truth.
In addition to changing farming to tree farming, Qi Tongwei is also determined to set up a factory. He has to do both well.
Otherwise, it is unrealistic to turn things around by relying solely on planting with only five mu of land per capita.
Especially things like fruit trees, to a certain extent, also depend on the weather for their survival.
Only when the temperature is suitable throughout the year can the crops grow well and grow in large quantities. The first few years require a large amount of capital investment, and it is a long-term project.
Therefore, Qi Tongwei also needs a golden rooster that can generate continuous income.
After seeing the efficiency of the Luolong factory, Qi Tongwei was inspired.
As for what to build the factory for, Qi Tongwei also had some ideas.
As people become more affluent, there is a broad sky for their food, clothing, housing and transportation.
It is no exaggeration to say that the next ten years will be a hot spot.
Qi Tongwei doesn't have the ability to build cars or buildings.
Qi Tongwei has some ideas about opening a garment factory or a non-staple food factory.
At worst, I can come up with the design myself and get orders from Luo Long or the Li family.
Qi Tongwei still remembers a lot of novel clothes from later generations, and he can definitely find a few designers to make them.
"We are just planting some crops, why do we need such a wide field?"
"Of course, we'll take a truck." Qi Tongwei did not express his thoughts.
"Normally, people have to carry grain on their shoulders and walk a long way early in the morning to deliver or sell grain. Once we build the road, we won't have to do that anymore. We can just let trucks go directly into the village."
Everyone was overjoyed.
In the past, if you wanted to sell something, you had to carry heavy things along the narrow and slippery ridges of the fields.
Ever since this road was built, everyone has been very satisfied. Not only is it much safer to carry things, but they can also use a wheelbarrow, which makes it much lighter.
I didn’t expect that Qi Tongwei actually wanted to allow large trucks to enter the village.
"I said Tongwei has made great progress now. Well, well, we must make the village rich even if we have to risk our lives." The village chief's old face was full of satisfaction.
...
Mr. and Mrs. Qi have been a little worried recently.
The third child in my family is so outstanding.
In just less than a year, the family's financial situation has changed dramatically.
Even the roads in the village were built by him at a cost of more than 10,000 yuan.
The news spread like wildfire in the surrounding area.
In the blink of an eye, a millionaire was gone.
Many people said that the third brother was a fool who threw money into the water and only a bubble appeared.
Many people also think that he is giving back to his hometown and is a kind-hearted man with good intentions.
But what these two groups of people have in common is that the third son of the Qi family is now rich, very rich.
When this road was first being built, everyone was still skeptical. But when the road was halfway built, everyone was surprised.
I heard that it cost more than ten thousand yuan to build the entire road.
The whole area was in complete unrest.
There are countless people visiting every day to make friends.
Even the township and county cadres came from time to time to inquire about Qi Tongwei's news.
Qi's father and mother were so annoyed that they had to ask their daughter to write a letter to Qi Tongwei to tell him about the situation at home.
After receiving the letter, Qi Tongwei had no choice but to ask for help from the newly appointed teacher Gao to make a phone call to the county below, and only then did he stop these visits to seek benefits.
However, this phone call caused an even greater uproar in the county.
Qi Tongwei is not only rich, but also has an unfathomable background. Even leaders from the province came to say hello.
Being well-informed, he even disregarded his dignity and brought his daughter and niece of marriageable age to be examined by Qi's father and Qi Tong.
Today is no exception. A deputy county magistrate wants to marry his daughter to Qi Tongwei.
For a deputy county magistrate, it is easy to find out Qi Tongwei's information.
Last year, he was the second place in the college entrance examination in Yantai County and is studying at the Handong Political Science and Law Department.
In this era of guaranteed employment for college students, one has already secured a stable job and also has connections in the province, so one’s future achievements can be said to be limitless.
When the wandering child returns home, his brothers and sisters cheer for joy, and his parents burst into tears.
The eldest and second brothers quickly put down their backpacks, took out snacks from them, and expressed their homesickness these days.
The house is still the same, with no changes. Considering that they might have to move to the city in the future, Qi's father has no plans to rebuild it.
We can be considered to be returning home in glory, Qi Tongwei sighed.
Chapter 52: Distant Uncle
It was just a few strangers who showed up at home, interrupting everyone's reminiscence.
"Tongwei, this is County Magistrate Liang, Township Magistrate Liu, and Secretary He. This girl is County Magistrate Jiang's daughter."
Father Qi introduced them enthusiastically. These were all important figures that he had never seen before. In ancient times, they were county magistrates.
"Deputy, Deputy." Deputy County Mayor Liang took the initiative to step forward and shake hands with a smile on his face, as if Qi Tongwei was the leader.
"Hello, County Magistrate Liang, Hello, Township Chief Liu, Hello, Secretary He." Qi Tongwei shook hands with them one by one with a calm expression, totally unlike Qi's father who was submissive and humble.
Deputy County Magistrate Liang was wearing a Zhongshan suit. He did not look very official. Instead, he looked more like a worker than a county magistrate.
Deputy County Mayor Liang’s original name was Liang Tiande. He was an educated youth who went to the countryside in his early years.
Like many educated youth who could not predict their fate, they settled down in a village in Yantai County, got married and had children.
He read a lot of books in his early years, and was later elected as the village chief, where he achieved some achievements.
Then he started his own official career, working from the township to the county, and struggled for more than twenty years.
Due to the lack of background, that is, political resources, Liang Tiande wasted a lot of time. Two years ago, he just became a deputy county magistrate with a low ranking, in charge of some clean water departments.
Judging from his appearance, Qi Tongwei estimated that County Magistrate Liang was probably around 50 years old. He was still a deputy county magistrate at almost 50 years old, and it was unknown whether he had been promoted to the position of permanent county magistrate. If not, it would be good enough for him to retire as a director in this life.
Deputy County Magistrate Liang laughed and said, "I have heard that our Yantai County has produced a top scholar. He is indeed a very talented person."
"County Magistrate Liang, you are too kind. I am just a student. In our New China, there is no such thing as the top scholar. Besides, I am not the first one." Qi Tongwei said modestly.
"Same, same, Tongwei, I'm here as a relative this time, so don't call me county magistrate."
This surprised Qi Tongwei that his poor family had such a relationship. He immediately looked at Qi's father and mother in confusion.
Father Qi said excitedly: "Your grandmother is a cousin of the wife of a cousin of County Magistrate Liang's father-in-law."
Father-in-law’s…, cousin’s wife’s…, cousins?
and many more!
Even though Qi Tongwei spent a long time thinking about it, he still found out that it was completely unrelated.
It can be seen that Qi's father is very satisfied with this relative. After all, he is an official, and a "big official" at that.
Qi Tongwei guessed that this must have been the result of the deputy county magistrate's painstaking investigation.
According to scientific theory, the distance between people will not exceed six people.
Qi Tongwei guessed correctly. Liang Tiande had been in the political arena for more than 45 years, and it was not until he was years old that he understood the importance of political resources.
After a belated awakening, Liang Tiande finally got close to a deputy secretary of the county party committee. This time of joining forces also allowed Liang Tiande, who had been working in the regular department for more than ten years, to finally be promoted to deputy county magistrate.
But fate was unfortunate. The deputy secretary was brought down less than a year after promoting Liang Tiande.
Fortunately, Liang Tiande himself did not have many stains and was lucky enough to land safely, but he was also marginalized and became a transparent deputy county magistrate in the county.
Therefore, Liang Tiande has always wanted to seek new political resources to make further progress.
It just so happened that Qi Tongwei's name began to appear frequently among some people in the county.
The county party secretary even gave clear instructions that departments were not allowed to take bribes.
Such a background made Liang Tiande jealous.
After some careful investigation, I found a huge surprise: the two families are actually related, although the relationship is a bit distant.
In order to get close to Qi Tongwei, Liang Tiande tried his best to persuade his daughter to come over.
The two of them are already five degrees of separation from each other, and there are no problems with the law or morality. If they are attracted to each other, it should be no problem for me to become a permanent member of the county government, or at least a deputy county magistrate with real power.
"That's right, Brother Qi and I are cousins."
"That's right, Tongwei, you have to call County Magistrate Liang uncle."
"Haha." Qi Tongwei laughed dryly a few times and did not respond. He pointed to the stool beside him and said, "Everyone, sit down, everyone, sit down."
Qi Tongwei couldn't call out such a person with ulterior motives.
It’s good enough that Qi Tongwei didn’t get angry.
What were you doing before? If you had come here to recognize your relatives when you had just been admitted to university, Qi Tongwei would have had some good impression of you.
Might as well maintain a network that looks good.
Now, to a certain extent, I have already caught up with the future Handa Gang and Shajia Gang, and my future is bright.
Not to mention that the network of relationships of Gao Yuliang and his wife alone is far beyond that of a retired deputy county magistrate, so it is certainly not worth Qi Tongwei's effort to waste his expression on it.
Qi Tongwei's face was gloomy, making the atmosphere gradually awkward.
Liang Tiande, who was sitting down, realized that something was wrong and quickly tried to make amends. He winked at his daughter and said, "Tongwei, this is my daughter, Liang Meng. You two cousins should have a lot to talk about."
Only then did Qi Tongwei notice the girl in front of him.
Liang Meng is a pretty girl next door, with slender fingers and a fair face. At first glance, she looks like a pampered little princess at home.
She looks not much different from Chen Yang and Luo Qian, but her figure is much better than theirs.
But compared with Liang Lu and Yu Xiaoxiao, she is far inferior, but overall she is a pretty little beauty.
Liang Meng forced a smile and stepped forward and said, "Qi...Brother, I just got admitted to Handong Normal University this year. It's right next to Handong University. I don't know what the university is like yet. Can you tell me about it?"
The words were spoken bluntly, like a dancer being forced to entertain customers.
Liang Meng is feeling this way now. She is suffocated by the worldly affairs and the feeling of selling her daughter for fame and fortune.
Although the other person's temperament and tall and handsome figure are indeed the type that one likes, coercion and voluntary are two different things.
Qi Tongwei didn't show any disdain for the little girl, and said calmly, "University life is rich and varied. It is an exchange of knowledge and vision. Everyone's feelings are different. You will know when you go there yourself."
