Chapter 430 (1/2)
The elderly usually pay attention to it. When their granddaughter's boyfriend comes to visit, naturally they want to be warmly entertained. Similarly, Xiao Qi asked Xing Hu to bring more than a dozen large and small exquisite gift boxes, which also made them feel that the child is good and sensible.
In particular, Huang Fucai's grandfather Xie Zonghan couldn't close his mouth when he saw ten Chinese cigarettes in his pocket.
Many rural people are old smokers. Although everyone's life has improved over the years, especially this year, Chinese tobacco is still a particularly precious thing, which is rarely seen.
When he remembered taking it out to show off to those old guys, Xie Zonghan, who was getting older and younger, drank an extra glass of wine at dinner.
Tang Mingxiang's grandmother Zhu Ping is a typical image of an old Chinese woman. She is hardworking and kind-hearted. She doesn't talk much, but she keeps bringing food to Xiao Qi during dinner. As a result, a young man who has always had a small amount of food can eat directly.
The sun in mid August is still very hot, but between the mountain villages, there are natural green mountains and green water to adjust the temperature. In the afternoon, it is not so hot except the cicada's cry.
Holding the little hand of the beautiful girl as soft as jade, Xiao Qi walked slowly on the hillside, taking a few deep breaths from time to time, only feeling comfortable and tight.
”The quality of urban life in China is really bad.” Xiao Qi said to the girl beside him, ”the capital has been criticized for its heavy sandstorm and serious pollution. In recent years, all parts of the country have been developing rapidly. It is difficult to breathe fresh air. Look at the United States, there are strict standards for air quality. Although it is not a natural oxygen bar, at least respiratory diseases can be reduced a lot! ”
”Worshiping foreign countries and fawning on foreign countries ~ ~” Huang Fucai gently glanced at his lover, ”are our countryside worse than them?”
”But there is no good quality of life in the countryside.” Xiao Qi continued: ”take Donglong village for example. The telephone, electric light and tap water have not yet reached the household, let alone the road traffic here. Roads, in particular, represent exchanges and exchange of needed goods with cities and towns. Without this, I'm afraid we can only suffer from poverty. ”
Huangfu's colored powder was lighter. ”Yes, the gravel road was originally paved, but when people and cars walk on it together, it will soon become a muddy broken road again.”
”But you don't have to worry. When the economy develops and the government has money, it will help build cement roads in various villages and towns and connect to households.” Xiao Qi smiled and said to the girl.
The beautiful and elegant girl only thought Xiao Qi was comforting her. In fact, Xiao Qi said that she began to overhaul rural roads in Yuanyin city after 2010.
At that time, the government assumed 80% of the expenses, and each village and brigade assumed the remaining 20%. The cement road built to almost every household was of very good quality, with a thickness of more than 30 cm, and a sufficient amount of steel and cement. Chen Yulian, the mother who went back to visit the grave, praised her son when she called her son.
”Later? How long was that? ” Huangfu Cai stepped forward, stood at the top of the hillside and looked down, ”grandma and grandpa are old now. It's troublesome for me to watch you walk on this ridge road. What should they do if they fall and get hurt?”
”So it is.” Xiao Qi said thoughtfully, ”well, let's repair our hometown road first, and then build the rural roads in yuanyan city when we have enough money. It's our intention as yuanyan people.”
”Wow, are you so generous?” The girl said in surprise.
”When the ancients returned home, they all knew that they needed to build bridges and pave roads. Are we not as good as the ancients?” Xiao Qi clenched the little hand of the beautiful girl, ”I'm not sure we'll come back here to provide for the aged when we're old. How can we do if we don't build better?”
The beautiful girl smiled and her heart was warm.
