Three of them looked at Lui Yong.
" Brother, if I'm not mistaken. The other girl must be talented. Please tell me, where did you go today, and what activities did you engage in? " Lui Yan asked, trying to tease his brother.
-Haha!
Liu Yong chuckled and rebuked, " You are spreading rumors! "
Zhou Xiuying gently tapped Liu Lan on the head and asked, " Why did you ask such a question? "
Liu Lan silently giggled.
Liu Yong realized that he had to confess something. Otherwise, he would be questioned endlessly.
" I think it's exceptional. Li Changle is also stunning. We can still talk. " Liu Yong said.
-Whoa!
Zhou Xiuying and Liu Hongfu exchanged secret glances, both of them feeling pleasantly surprised. Almost simultaneously, they thought that Xiaoyong was attracted to that girl.
Liu Lan suggested, " Brother, if Lui Changle is attractive, why not take the initiative to pursue her? I think you'll be able to succeed. I believe in you. "
" Let's take it slow and get to know her better. I don't know much about her personality yet. " Liu Yong replied.
Liu Hongfu, who has been silent all this time, agrees with this point, " Yes, the girl's good personality is the priority, as her beauty can't be eaten after all. "
After a brief chat, Liu Hongfu didn't pursue the topic further and shifted the conversation to another matter.
" Xiaoyong, your Uncle Jianping came over in the afternoon, and we had a long chat about road construction in the village, " said Liu Hongfu.
" The road at the village entrance really needs to be repaired, it is too narrow, and some places are damaged. " Liu Yong said as he didn't like the road condition while coming to the village.
Liu Hongfu continued, " This road has been built for over a decade since it was connected to every village. The village intends to reconstruct and widen it. Last month, we pooled resources for the road repairs, but we are still short of 300,000 Yuan. "
Liu Yong basically understood what was going on.
" Three hundred thousand is not significant pressure for you,, Liu Yong. It is no problem for you to contribute to the village," Remarked Lui Hongfu.
" Dad, what do you mean? " Liu Yong asked.
Liu Hongfu added, " It is your money. I'm just making a suggestion. You don't have to follow it if you don't think it's a good idea. "
" Yes. " Liu Yong said, " I will follow your suggestion. "
Liu Hongfu stated, " It's a commendable thing to help the village build roads. Once you donate, the entire village will be grateful to you. We all still live in this village and are happy to help each other in the future. "
Zhou Xiuying added, " Once the road gets repaired, it will be beneficial to most of our villagers "
-Hmmm!
Liu Yong thought for a while and said, " I will donate the 300,000 yuan,,,, Dad. But it is too late today; let's inform Uncle Jianping tomorrow about the donation "
" Well Okay" Liu Hongfu replied.
Liu Hongfu felt pleased to hear two positive remarks in a row.
The next day…
Early in the morning, Liu Jianping woke up. He had been thinking all night and barely slept. Eventually, he came up with an unsatisfactory solution.
-Helpless!
He realized there was no feasible way to address the issue. Liu Jianping was at a loss and not knowing where to find the budget. But he decided to collect a donation from each individual. However, even raising 10,000 yuan seemed like a challenge for the people of Dongmen.
So, he made the phone call and informed the villagers of a nine o'clock meeting at the village department. Liu Jianping sat at the house door, smoking a stuffy cigarette.
He furrowed his brows and smoked a cigarette, contemplating how to broach the topic at the nine o'clock meeting with everyone.
" Will everyone agree with this plan? "
" Can we get 300,000 yuan in a month? " Liu Jianping was smoking alone and lost in thought, his mind in disarray.
-Tering Tering!
Suddenly, a cell phone ringing interrupted his train of thought. The call was from Liu Hongfu. " Jianping, Xiaoyong is willing to donate 300,000 yuan for the road construction. You come to my house. "
Liu Jianping was momentarily lost in thought, and it took him two or three seconds to remember what had happened. Suddenly, he stood up with a look of excitement on his face.
" What? " Liu Jianping asked.
" Liu Yong agreed to donate. " Liu Hongfu replied.
"Okay, I'll come right away. " Liu Jinaping said in a very excited tone smashing the cigarette.
He hung up the phone and ran to Liu Hongfu's house without further ado. His wife saw Liu Jianping running all the way, at a loss.
Soon arrived at Liu Hongfu's house and roared as soon as he entered the door, " Brother Hongfu, you are not kidding me, are you? "
Liu Hongfu said, " I dare not make fun of you, brother, for such a significant matter. "
Happiness came so suddenly, Liu Jianping still can't believe it.
" No kidding, it's true! " Liu Hongfu said.
Liu Jianping became so excited that he rubbed his hands together and looked at Liu Yong hopefully.
" Liu Yong, on behalf of the 926 people in Dongmen Village, I thank you. Thank you so much. You have solved our big problem. " Liu Jianping said.
" I just helped the village to do something within my power. I hope that when I come back next time, there will be a spacious and smooth concrete road. " Liu Yong said.
" There will definitely be. " Liu Jianping replied.
Next, Liu Yong, as promised by himself, in front Liu Jianping, he transferred 300,000 yuan to an account in the village through online banking.
Since There won't be any shortage of money for road construction, Liu Jianping felt relaxed and grateful towards Liu Yong.
After thanking him repeatedly, he happily left the room. There were only about a few minutes left, and some people who participated in the meeting had already arrived. So Liu Jianping rushed towards the meeting place before getting late.
People had started arriving at the village meeting room, chatting and speculating about the upcoming meeting.
" The village head Jianping suddenly called for a meeting. I think 80% of it is related to road construction. So far, there is still a funding gap of 300,000 yuan, " speculated one of the villagers who had arrived early with another villager.
" 300,000, this is not a small amount. " Another villager said.
Yes, it's challenging for a small village like Dongmen to gather such a large amount of money within a month. However, sometimes, when faced with a common goal or problem, people come together and find creative solutions.
Just about people were discussing the matter, Liu Jianping walked in, and the room became silent. Everyone turned to look at him, waiting for him to speak.
