    ? Chapter 841: Buried Deep Underground

    After Li Tieniu left, Tong Yan couldn't wait to open the fruit box, only to see that there were dewdrops on the bright red strawberries and oranges inside, and a refreshing aroma radiated out.

    Before she even had time to clean it, she reached out and took a strawberry into her mouth. The sweet and sour juice filled her mouth in an instant, and then she muttered to herself, "I didn't expect that all the promises he made to the children would be fulfilled."

    From this point of view, if there is any money-making project in the future, he will definitely remember what he said last night.

    It's a pity that such a young man with integrity, good figure and appearance, and young and promising should be introduced to other girls.

    After leaving Tong Yan, Li Tieniu came to Liu Xianglan's community again.

    I received a call in the morning, and I wanted to come here for dinner at noon, because two old people went to the vegetable market to buy a chicken, and Li Tieniu also came to pick up the little guy.

    When he entered the door, Li Tieniu saw that the little guy was preparing her toys. It seemed that he was going to give them to Tang Guoer, but after choosing and choosing, Li Tieniu squatted beside her with a smile on his face.  Leaning down, he said, "Xiangxiang, if you are reluctant to part with it, buy one later on the way. Don't worry, uncle will pay for it later."

    Only then did the little guy realize that Li Tieniu was coming, he quickly stood up and kissed him on the cheek, pouted and said: "That won't work, I have to give my own toy!"

    For a while, the two elderly people next to him laughed from ear to ear.

    At this time, Liu Xianglan had just prepared the dishes and brought them out of the kitchen, and soon, the whole family started to move.

    During the meal, Liu Xianglan said happily: "Tie Niu, how much money has been raised for the construction of river canals in Huai'an Township, is the 500,000 donation from Zhongcheng Logistics enough?"

    Hearing Liu Xianglan's question, the old couple stopped their chopsticks and listened.

    Li Tieniu looked at Liu Xianglan amusedly, and said with a look of incomprehension: "Sister Liu, you are a person who usually haggles when buying clothes, why are you so quick to donate 500,000 this time?"

    Liu Xianglan is wrong, most women belong to the kind of women who know how to live a life, and usually spend a lot of money, especially married women.

    In the past, Liu Xianglan always bargained for the price when she went to the market to buy vegetables. Even if she made money later, she was still the same.

    Of course, now that Mama He collects several tons of vegetables a day at the logistics point, she doesn't have to go shopping anymore.

    So this time when Zhongcheng Logistics offered 500,000 yuan, Liu Xianglan didn't hesitate at all, and looked very excited. Li Tieniu was thinking, is it because Huai'an Township is her hometown?

    However, soon, Li Tieniu realized that something was wrong, because when he asked about this matter, Liu Xianglan was fine, but the smile on Liu Xianglan's parents' faces quickly dissipated.

    Especially Liu Xianglan's father sighed and put down his chopsticks slowly.

    Before Liu Xianglan could speak, her mother beside her sighed, and said sadly: "Tie Niu, there is something that Lan Lan probably hasn't told you. Her father was the mayor of Huai'an Township more than ten years ago. That  At that time, few people went out to work, and they could only live on the one-third of an acre of land at home."

    "At that time, Lan Lan's father also thought about bringing water from the Xiuhe River to irrigate the tens of thousands of acres of dry land in Huai'an Township, but the amount of work was too large. If it was dug manually, it might not be possible to build the canal in a few years. Moreover, the relevant departments at that time were also very concerned.  Poor, can't pay wages at all."

    "In order to make the people of Huai'an Township richer, Lan Lan's father led people to dig wells, but it is not easy to dig wells in dry land. The water source can only be found at a depth of more than 30 meters. If you want to irrigate an acre of land, it takes more than 50 meters.  OK."

    "At that time, I remember that a total of three wells were dug out, and the people in Huai'an Township cheered and were extremely happy, but when the fourth well was dug to more than 30 meters, the soil collapsed.  None of the villagers could come up, and they were buried in the ground 30 meters deep."

    "Although Lan Lan's uncle is also my natal family, and the two villagers in the village have not blamed your uncle, but your uncle has been very guilty all these years."

    "Because of that incident, your uncle was also dismissed from the position of mayor, and in order to avoid further accidents, the relevant departments also ordered Huai'an Township to stop digging wells to irrigate the farmland, because it was not as advanced as it is now, and machines could be used to drill wells.  They were all dug by people.¡±

    "Until now, there are three clothes tombs where the well collapsed, and your uncle will go to worship every year."

    "So Tieniu, your uncle is the happiest now that you can help Huai'an Township to raise funds to build the canal. He said last night that he must have a drink with you if he has the chance."

    Li Tieniu suddenly realized, looked at LiuA trace of respect appeared on the face of Xiang Lan's father.

    In any case, he was also doing it for the people of Huai'an Township, after all, everyone was looking at the three-acre land at that time.

    Thinking of the three people back then, including Liu Xianglan and her uncle, who are still buried more than 30 meters deep, Li Tieniu finally understands why Liu Xianglan is so excited, and why she will not hesitate to take out 500,000 this time.

    To repair the canal is to comfort the souls of those three people in heaven, and it is also the expectation of the people in Huai'an Township!

    If the one-acre three-cent land at home can grow vegetables at a good price, who would want to leave their hometown and leave their families to make a living?

    Li Tieniu picked up the wine glass with both hands, looked at Liu Xianglan's father and said, "Uncle, I would like to toast you."

    After clinking glasses, the old man raised his head and drank it all in one gulp, as if he drank the sadness of these years.

    Li Tieniu also drank it all in one gulp, and then poured the wine and said softly: "When I went back to my hometown in the countryside two days ago, Qiao Jiming, the current deputy mayor of Xiuhe Town, rode a motorcycle to Yakou Village, and told me to build a canal.  He hopes that I can help him report the construction of the river canal in Huai'an Township to the relevant departments in the city."

    "But now that the old city is being rebuilt, the county really can't distract him. Later, I asked, and he said that it would be 1.5 million."

    "At that time, I was thinking, 1.5 million, not too much, not too little, if we mobilize, we should be able to get it together"

    "I still remember that Deputy Mayor Qiao was very excited at the time, saying that the construction of the canal will benefit future generations and benefit future generations. He also said that he would thank me on behalf of the tens of thousands of people in Huai'an Township. It really made me feel ashamed."

    "How can I not fulfill such a good official who works for the common people's welfare?" (Remember the website URL: www.hlnovel.com
