After giving secretary Huang Zhongfu a hundred yuan, Jiang Xiaobai spoke again.

"Secretary, should we take the time to repair the road in our village? This road is too dilapidated. The villagers can't go out even if it rains. It's full of mud and water. This road was probably built before liberation..."

Jiang Xiaobai said casually, and secretary Huang Zhongfu didn't say anything, just looked at Jiang Xiaobai with a smile on his face.

Jiang Xiaobai looked a little embarrassed, and then said: "I heard that you drove two liberation trucks back to the village this afternoon."

"Well, we rented it from the glass factory in the county. Aren't we going to sell cans? We will sell it throughout Shangdang City. It's okay if the transportation can't keep up."

After Jiang Xiaobai finished speaking, he added: "Yes, I am a little selfish about building roads, but building roads is a great good thing. It benefits the whole village. Since ancient times, building bridges and paving roads has been a great good deed..."

Jiang Xiaobai directly admitted that the 20-mile road from Shangma Township to Jianhua Village became more difficult the closer it got to Jianhua Village. When driving back today, Jiang Xiaobai was cautious.

The weather is good, and summer is the rainy season. If it rains for several days in a row, transportation will be a big problem.

"That's the truth," Secretary Huang Zhongfu nodded and said, "But road construction is a big project. It's impossible to build it all. Needless to say, with our Jianhua Village, even Shangma Township Commune can't build it. At most, we can only do it with some damage.

It’s a great place, let’s fix it.”

"Okay, I'll do some repairs. Thank you, Secretary..." Jiang Xiaobai nodded repeatedly. Autumn is about to be harvested, so it's good to be able to repair it.

"Don't be too busy thanking me. You have to pay for the food expenses. The brigade doesn't have much money in its account and can't afford to repair it." Secretary Huang Zhongfu said quickly.

When No. 180 people build roads, the daily food expenses are a huge expense.

As for wages, they don't exist, just record the wages. Anyway, that's all the money is in the village.

"There's no problem with that. I'm also from Jianhua Village. I'm busy selling cans and don't have time to spend a lot of time building roads. But I have no problem taking care of everyone's food and drink."

Jiang Xiaobai happily agreed. It was originally his own request, but Secretary Huang Zhongfu didn't say anything.

I would also take the initiative to propose it, just in time for the canning production to have basically stopped, and that part of the food expenses would be transferred here.

"You, no one in the entire Jianhua Village, no, even the entire Shangma Commune, dares to say that like you."

Secretary Huang Zhongfu smiled and shook his head. He could pay, but he didn't have time. Jiang Xiaobai could only say this.

"I'm just pretending to be fat. I still owe the county glass factory 10,000 yuan, not to mention that there are more than 100 villagers whose wages have not been paid. If the road is not repaired, the 100,000 cans will have to be paid."

If you stop me in the factory warehouse, I won't mention road construction."

Jiang Xiaobai shook his head, he did not want others to treat him as a rich man.

In later generations, if you are treated as a rich man or a wealthy person, you will be ruined and your fortune will be ruined. But at this time, if you are treated as a rich man, you will be treated as a rich man.

That would cause a big problem.

The two chatted for a while and then talked about Goudan.

"Don't worry, I won't let this bitch go. He can no longer live in Jianhua Village. Everyone is shouting and beating him. He is hiding at home and is afraid to go out."

Secretary Huang Zhongfu also had a look of hatred on his face when he talked about Goudan. He originally planned to train Goudan to take over his job, but he didn't expect that this guy would stab him in the back.

"Well, there's no need to drive him away, just let him stay in the village like this. I'll buy some candies later and give them to the children in the village. He'll be thrown dog shit as soon as he goes out. I won't be happy if I don't torture him for the rest of his life."

Jiang Xiaobai also said viciously that although it was the director of the Revolutionary Committee who forced Liu Mei to commit suicide, Goudan was the initiator of this matter.

If Goudan hadn't reported it, Liu Mei would not have committed suicide and would have gone to college long ago.

And he should be going to college in the capital with Li Siyan in his arms at this time.

"Okay." Secretary Huang Zhongfu nodded.

After chatting for a while, Jiang Xiaobai stood up to say goodbye and returned to the courtyard of the educated youth. After entering the house, he was just getting ready for bed when he suddenly took out pen and paper from the drawer.

"Dear..." Jiang Xiaobai wrote three words, and then quickly crossed them out.

"Comrade Siyan..." Rewrite and continue to cross out.

"Siyan, after two months of separation, I miss you so much. First of all, I want to apologize to you. I'm sorry that I broke the appointment. During the time when you were gone, many, many things happened. It's hard to describe them in one word. Liu Mei passed away...

…”

Jiang Xiaobai was finally able to write smoothly this time.

"How is the situation at your home? How is your father's rehabilitation going? I'm sorry, forgive me for not being able to be with you. Do you still have enough money... Your new address is from the Baihua Hutong Post Office.

Big brother is coming...

Finally, don't worry about me. I am living a very good life in Jianhua Village. I hope you take care of yourself and study hard in college. I will try to reunite with you in the capital as soon as possible.

Jiang Xiaobai

September 1, 1978"

After writing the letter, Jiang Xiaobai folded it and put it in an envelope, preparing to mail it out when passing through the countryside tomorrow.

When he was lying on the bed, it was already late at night, and Jiang Xiaobai couldn't sleep because he was tossing and turning for some reason.

Looking at the bright moonlight in the night sky through the window, Jiang Xiaobai felt as if he had been in a dream these days.

It has only been less than half a year since he came to this world, but now he rarely thinks about the things in his previous life.

It's as if I really live in this era.

The insects were chirping, and Jiang Xiaobai didn't know when he fell asleep. When he woke up again, it was not yet bright.

There was a knock on the door from Wang Chao.

"Brother Bai, it's almost time. We have loaded the car and are just waiting for you to finish your meal before we can set off."

"Okay, I'll get up right away." Jiang Xiaobai responded. He needed to leave early today. When their group arrived in the county, they still needed to find a factory warehouse and unload the goods.

Wang Chao and Wang Meng need to go to Zhangzi County to find a factory warehouse and unload the goods.

Otherwise, the cans will have to stay in the car overnight.

So I got ready to leave early in the morning.

"Creak." Jiang Xiaobai put on his clothes and just opened the door when he saw the high beam lights of the Jiefang Truck outside the yard were on.

Two dim yellow lights cut through the darkness before dawn.

"Brother Xiaobai, the cans have been loaded onto the truck. According to your request, each truck has 5,000 bottles of cans." Wang Chao smoked, his face brightening and darkening.

"Okay." Jiang Xiaobai nodded, and led Jiang Xiaobai to walk around the liberation truck and take a rough look.

"Okay, let's go eat and set off after dinner." Jiang Xiaobai said. A Jiefang truck can definitely hold more than 5,000 bottles of cans, but there are too many. When the road conditions are bad, the damage rate will increase.
