Chapter 152 From now on, clan meetings will no longer be hosted by the three clan elders
The next day, at Jiang Xue's strong request, the restoration project of the terraced road in Jiangjia Village was fully launched.
Jiang Xue knows very well that the upcoming rice harvest season is the busiest and most anticipated time of the year for the villagers, so a flat and unobstructed road is crucial.
It not only improves harvesting efficiency, but also reduces transportation losses, ensuring that villagers can smoothly transport the harvested rice back home.
The summer breeze blows gently, and the thriving and mature rice in the fields sways in the wind, forming a golden ocean.
In this golden ocean, a group of men in coats are busy walking on the path between the fields.
They carried heavy loads on their shoulders, filled with sand for road construction, and their feet were submerged in the yellow crops, as if they were floating on golden waves.
On the way from the river to the village, the men had to go around several ridges to get there. They walked carefully, fearing that the sand would spill.
The women followed closely behind, and they were responsible for smoothing out the muddy puddles on the road. They scooped up sand with their hands, sprinkled it gently on the muddy puddles, and then stepped on it with their feet to ensure that the road surface was smooth.
Jiang Xue also mixed in with this group of hardworking men and women. She picked up a hoe, dug up the sand with great effort, and then filled the mud pit with the sand.
Every time she filled a hole, she would step on it with her feet to make sure the sand was filled firmly and would not sink again. She filled one hole after another like this, working tirelessly.
This restoration project was more than just a simple filling of mud pits. Li Shu and Jiang Xue eventually decided to use this opportunity to upgrade some sections of the road to cement. He set up a construction team to carry out the project.
Li Shu and his construction team brought professional equipment and materials and began to carry out construction in an orderly manner. The villagers first leveled the road surface to ensure that there were no large ups and downs and potholes. Then, the construction team began to lay the cement road surface, pouring the cement evenly on the ground and compacting and smoothing it with special tools.
After several days of intensive construction, part of the road section has been successfully upgraded to a cement road.
Five days later, the villagers stood on the ridge of the field, looking at the land they had worked so hard on, and then seeing the new cement road in front of them, they were filled with emotion. This cement road not only solved the trouble they had suffered from muddy roads for many years, but also symbolized the prosperity and development of the village.
Looking back on the past, villagers worked hard every day for their livelihood, but the muddy roads often caused the fruits of their labor to be damaged during transportation, and sometimes they could not transport the crops out in time due to the difficult roads.
Now, this cement road has completely changed their destiny, allowing them to transport their harvested grain to the market more conveniently and quickly and obtain better profits.
Looking at the golden wheat fields and cement roads before them, the villagers couldn't help but shed tears of excitement.
These tears are tears of joy, tears of gratitude, and tears of hope for the future.
They know that all this is inseparable from Jiang Xue's efforts. It is because of her selfless dedication and perseverance that the village has achieved today's changes.
At this moment, the villagers felt the unity and strength of the village.
Jiang Niu stood quietly beside the terraced fields, staring at the solid and smooth cement road beneath his feet. His eyes gradually became moist and tears sparkled in the corners of his eyes.
He slowly turned around and whispered to his wife beside him: "Old woman, look at the road on this terraced field. In the past, in order to harvest those golden rice, we slipped on the muddy ridges countless times, and our bodies were covered with dirty mud. Life was really hard back then!"
Jiang Ma was filled with emotion when she heard this: "Yes, old man. I still remember clearly that year when it was pouring rain. In order to harvest the rice before the rainstorm, you ran desperately on the slippery mud road and fell several times in succession. I was so sad. Now it's good. With this wide and flat cement road, we can finally get rid of that suffering!"
Just then, a burst of cheerful laughter came from not far away.
It turned out that Jiang Mingming was holding his father's big hand tightly, pointing at the cement road with excitement and shouting: "Dad, this road is so well built! From now on, when we go to the terraced fields to harvest rice, we can easily push the cart over. It's so convenient!" After that, his bright big eyes were filled with longing and expectation for a better life in the future.
Jiang Xiaoliu looked at Jiang Ming with a smile, his eyes full of love: "Yes, Xiaoming. This cement road not only facilitates our harvest, but also makes our terraced fields more beautiful. We want to thank those who built this road for us. They are really great."
Next to another terraced field, Jiang Li and Jiang Zhang were chatting.
Jiang Li said excitedly: "Jiang Zhang, look how well this cement road has been built! In the past, every time we went to the terraced fields, we had to walk very carefully for fear of slipping. Now, we can walk with big strides. It's so convenient."
Jiang Zhang also said with deep emotion: "Yes, Jiang Li. I still remember that it took us a long time to get to the terraced fields. Now with this road, the time is shortened by half, and we can do more work. This is really a blessing for our terraced fields!"
Not long after, Jiang Quan came to the terraced fields of Jiangjia Village with the loudspeaker given by Jiang Xue. He cleared his throat and shouted loudly through the loudspeaker: "Everyone, please go to the threshing ground and gather. The clan meeting is about to begin!"
The sudden sound was like a thunderclap over the terraced fields. The villagers stopped what they were doing and looked at Jiang Quan curiously. They were surprised by this novel loudspeaker and even more surprised by the sudden announcement of the clan meeting.
"Jiang Quan, where did you get this new thing?" a villager asked curiously.
Jiang Quan proudly waved the loudspeaker in his hand and said, "This is the loudspeaker that Sanniu gave me. It is very convenient to use it to notify everyone of meetings. If there are any important events in our village in the future, we can use this loudspeaker to notify them."
Out of curiosity and surprise, the villagers put down their farm work and walked towards the threshing ground.
In the village square, villagers sat together and talked about the changes in the terraced fields, their faces were filled with happy smiles, and every word revealed their yearning and expectation for a better life.
"Okay, everyone please be quiet." Jiang Xue took the loudspeaker handed to her by Jiang Quan, and her voice spread throughout the threshing ground through the loudspeaker.
The first elder took the loudspeaker from Jiang Xue and said in a steady voice, "Dear villagers, today I want to announce an important decision. From now on, the content and hosting of the clan meeting will no longer be solely responsible by our three elders."
