Chapter 396: Unanimous Opinion

The town is not large, but it is not small either!

Because after the establishment of the train station, there has been a trend of upgrading to a transportation hub.

Moreover, Jinyuan has a lot of virgin forests, so it can be considered a good tourist attraction. Thirty years later, it will already be a 5A-level scenic spot, and its development potential is still unlimited.

When Li Yi brought the old village chief, Yang Tiezhu, the black-faced man and others to the town hall, there were already many people in the hall.

The people in the town dress relatively simply, with simple coats and vests, no fancy suits, or the jeans that are popular in most cities in the Dragon Kingdom, just simple coarse clothes.

However, these coarse cloth clothes look far more comfortable than suits.

At this time, these residents were all talking in the local dialect. Li Yi could basically understand most of them. Except for the pronunciation of some individual words that made people confused, he could probably understand them all.

"Paoshan Village has been having a really hard time over the past few years! We were about to have hope, but all the houses were buried by mudslides!"

"Hey, that's right. Why doesn't God open his eyes?"

"I also visited Kaoshan Village once. The old village chief was so kind! That year, my son's fever couldn't go away and the hospital was closed. I was so worried that I went up the mountain to find medicine in the middle of the night! As a result, I met people from Kaoshan Village. The old man The village chief helped me cure my boy’s fever without paying a penny, and he also gave me a lot of medicinal materials!”

"That's what I said! We have to help no matter what! If God doesn't give justice to Niang Xipi, let's help Kaoshan Village get some justice!"

Hearing these words, the old village chief who was following Li Yi suddenly felt a wave of heat rush into his heart, including Yang Tiezhu and Heizi.

In fact, there has not been much interaction between the mountain village and the small town over the years. They just sell medicinal materials and live their own lives.

Originally, Chen Ruqing also said that the villagers in the backing village should simply move to the town. After all, they are all from the same town. Why should everyone be so aloof?

But the old village chief still missed his hometown where he had lived for decades, so he didn't want to move. The other villagers probably had the same idea. The old people were nostalgic. Chen Ruqing knew it well and didn't say anything else.

This time the mudslide was an accident, but it was precisely because of this accident that the villagers of the mountain village finally had to leave the valley where they had lived for decades and had to integrate into this small town.

But even so, the old village chief was deeply moved by hearing the reassuring words of the town residents despite their simplicity.

When you were fighting monkeys over there, wasn't it because you wanted to protect your home behind you so that you could rush forward without fear of death?

The old village chief still remembers the last words the old company commander said when he died!

"The fried cakes from my hometown are so delicious! Yangzi, remember to try them for me!"

The old company commander is from the small town of Jinyuan. According to seniority, he is the uncle of the previous mayor!

Perhaps it was because he felt guilty that the old village chief had not left the village in these years. Even after the mayor was changed, the guilt in his heart did not diminish at all.

Just when the old village chief was a little moved and a little sentimental, a gentle but magnetic voice rang in the old village chief's ears.

"Thank you, Mr. Xie. The last time I saw you was twelve years ago. I haven't seen you for many years, but the old man is still so energetic!"

"Don't worry, we will definitely get through this difficulty!"

The old village chief turned around and saw that he was a middle-aged man whose age was a bit unclear. He looked like he was in his thirties and under forty, but he also looked like he was in his forties. It was impossible to tell.

The old village chief was confused about the other party's identity for a while, but Li Yi stood up and introduced with a smile:

"Old village chief, this is the current mayor of the town, Mr. Chen Ruqing Chen!"

The old village chief suddenly realized, stretched out his hand and said: "It turns out to be the mayor! He is really young and promising!"

Chen Ruqing stretched out her hand and shook the old village chief's hand tightly, and said with a smile: "I have always admired you, old gentleman. You were a man who protected your family and country back then, and you are still not young and promising in front of you. These four words!”

"I won't say any more polite words. The most important thing is to help Kaoshan Village solve the problem first. Let's have a meeting first!"

The old village chief nodded repeatedly, and then sat on a chair with the support of Yang Tiezhu and Heizi.

Chen Ruqing came to the front of the small hall. There was a blackboard hanging on the wall behind it. It looked old. It was said that this place was originally a government office and was later converted into a small hall.

People in the town attach great importance to protecting historical sites. The ruins of the official residence have also undergone several renovations and renovations and are now very solid.

Behind Chen Ruqing, at the top of this wall, there is a plaque with four big characters written on it, "The mirror hangs high", which adds a bit of seriousness.

"Everyone, please be quiet! Is everyone here? Is there anyone who is not here?"

The residents below looked at each other, and one young man among them shouted loudly: "My father has gone to the county! I came here in his place!"

After Chen Ruqing nodded, he said seriously: "I believe everyone knows about the mudslide that buried Kaoshan Village! But you can rest assured that the villagers in Kaoshan Village are fine! You don't have to worry!"

Everyone looked at each other and broke into a cold sweat!

Although I had heard it before, it was said that the people in the mountain village were fine, but now they have all come down the mountain.

But after all, what you hear is not what you believe. Since the mayor has said so, it must be safe!

Chen Ruqing continued in a deep voice: "This time, I asked everyone to gather in a hurry, mainly because I want to discuss something with everyone! Although the people of Kaoshan Village are fine, their houses and things are all gone!"

"So I decided that the town government will pay to rent the unused wing rooms! I will give everyone a subsidy of 50 yuan every month! Do you agree?"

Hearing Chen Ruqing's words, Yang Tiezhu and Heizi were actually a little uneasy.

After all, this is someone else's home, and it's not good to do anything, and it's not convenient.

For so many years, the residents of Kaoshan Village and the town have rarely interacted, that is, the children all go to the same school.

What they didn't expect was that the residents of the town all quarreled!

"Just come and live here, why pay? I think it's better to give this money to the brothers and sisters in Kaoshan Village!"

"That's right, it's just a matter of lending a hand, and you still want 50 yuan? The whole village is gone, this money should be given to the villagers!"

"We don't want this money! Life was originally quite comfortable, and taking this money makes us feel uneasy!"

In the end, they actually reached a unanimous opinion that the money should be given to the villagers of Kaoshan Village! You can live in the house as you like!
