Chapter 325 Road Construction Troubles and Unity

Village chief Petrov and technician Zhang came to the township, found the township head, and told him in detail the transportation problems faced by the Cuigu Village Fruit Processing Plant and the plan to build a road.

After hearing this, the village chief frowned slightly, thought for a moment and said, "Your Cuigu Village is indeed developing well, and this road construction is also to better boost the economy. But the funds in the village are also limited, and there is not much that can be allocated to you. Most of it depends on you to find ways to raise it."

Village chief Petrov said quickly: "Village chief, we understand that our village will definitely try its best to raise money. We just hope that the township can help us, even if it is just some material support."

Technician Zhang also agreed, "Yes, mayor, the repair of this road will not only benefit our Cuigu Village, but also facilitate the transportation of agricultural products from surrounding villages. It will benefit everyone."

The village head nodded and said, "Okay, I've taken note of your situation. I'll try my best to get some support for you. Go back and organize the villagers to prepare."

After receiving the reply from the township head, Village Chief Petrov and Technician Zhang returned to the village and immediately convened a meeting of the villagers to tell everyone about the road construction.

An old villager said worriedly: "Village head, building a road is a good thing, but we just invested a lot of money in the processing plant, and now we have to raise money to build a road. Where can we get so much money?"

Another younger villager also said: "That's right, and road construction is not an easy job. It takes so much manpower and resources. Can we still do our daily work?"

Village chief Petrov looked at everyone and said earnestly, "Fellow villagers, I know everyone has difficulties, but if this road is not repaired, our factory products cannot be shipped out, and all our previous efforts will be in vain. Let's grit our teeth and get through this. Those who have money can contribute money, and those who have strength can contribute strength, and let's build this road together."

Technician Zhang also stood up and said, "Yes, fellow villagers, once this road is repaired, our village will have more hope for development in the future. It will also be convenient for outsiders to come in, and more and more people will come to travel and do business. By then, everyone's income will surely double."

After being persuaded by the two, the villagers gradually understood the situation and expressed their willingness to support the road construction.

The next day, the village became lively. Those who were rich took out the money they had saved at home and handed it over to the village committee.

An old lady held a cloth bag with some scattered money inside and said to the village chief Petrov: "Head, this is the money I saved. It's not much, so I'll give it to the road construction. Our village must get better and better."

The strong young people formed a road construction team and went to the construction site carrying their tools.

Dazhu waved his hoe and shouted, "Hey, hey, everyone, work harder and repair the road as soon as possible, so that our village can have a better life!"

However, the road construction process was not smooth. Just a few days after the start of construction, it encountered obstruction from the neighboring village.

It turned out that the planned route for the road construction passed through a piece of land at the junction of two villages. The neighboring village felt that the land belonged to them and did not agree to occupy it.

When village chief Petrov learned about this, he hurriedly took several village representatives to the neighboring village to negotiate.

When the head of the neighboring village saw them, he said angrily: "How come you, Cuigu Village, are building a road on our land? This is not allowed. We didn't get our consent."

Village chief Petrov said with a smile: "Brother, you see, this road has been repaired. It is good for both our villages. We are also doing this for better development. We are not occupying that piece of land for nothing. We can discuss whether we can give you some compensation or exchange it for something."

The villagers from the neighboring village said in unison: "What's the point of compensation? That's our land, we can't just touch it."

For a time, the negotiations reached a deadlock.

After returning to the village, Village Chief Petrov was so worried that he couldn't eat.

Technician Zhang consoled him, "Don't worry, village chief. There are always more solutions than problems. Let's find a few prestigious elders in the village to talk to them. After all, we are all neighboring villages. We'll see each other every day. We should be able to talk this out."

So they invited several respected elders and went to the next village again.

This time, the elders earnestly told the people from the neighboring village about the long-standing friendship between the two villages and the importance of this road to everyone's future development.

An old man from Cuigu Village held the hand of an old man from the next village and said, "Brother, we are all from this area. We have helped each other for so many years. Now that Cuigu Village has developed, we want to help everyone. After this road is built, it will be more convenient for your village to transport agricultural products, and your children will suffer less when they go to school."

After hearing this, the villagers from the next village gradually fell silent and began to think.

The head of the neighboring village also thought it made sense, so he softened his attitude and said, "You are right, but we still need to discuss the land issue carefully and make sure all the villagers agree to it."

After some difficult negotiations, the two villages finally reached an agreement. Cui Gu Village used part of its idle land to exchange for the land needed for road construction, and promised to help the neighboring village more in its development in the future.

After solving this major problem, the road construction project was carried out smoothly again.

The villagers became more motivated and worked hard on the construction site day and night.

After several months of hard work, a wide and flat road was finally built.

On the day the road was opened to traffic, firecrackers rang out in Cuigu Village and the villagers stood on the roadside, watching the trucks loaded with fruit products drive out smoothly, with smiles of pride and joy on their faces.

Village chief Petrov stood by the road and said to technician Zhang with emotion: "This road is really hard-won. Thanks to everyone's unity, the road of Cuigu Village will definitely become wider and wider in the future."

Technician Zhang also smiled and said, "Yes, village chief, as long as we continue to work together, we can overcome any difficulties. Our village will definitely develop better and better, and everyone will live a good life."
