Chapter 179: Chapter 179 Song Yunuan’s Suggestion_1

Song Yunuan smiled with squinted eyes.

"Why would I need to scold you?"

Scolding someone also depends on the target and timing.

After walking out of the brigade headquarters, Song Yunuan took the initiative to speak to Chu Zizhou, who had left with her to avoid suspicion, "Brigade leader, my family wants to install a telephone. This is always troubling you, I’m really sorry."

Chu Zizhou said, "It’s not troubling at all, I think it’s an honor to call for you over the loudspeaker. It might be that in a few years, no one will dare to call your name."

Song Yunuan pouted, "Are you complimenting me or scolding me?"

"Who would dare to scold you?"

I’m not as busy as you are every day.

Chu Zizhou grumbled to himself inwardly.

Song Yunuan’s eyes twinkled, "I heard your mother and sister will be arriving soon. I have an idea that could make a very good impression on them. Want to hear it?"

Chu Zizhou looked at Song Yunuan with suspicion, "What’s the great idea? Let’s hear it."

"You announce in a meeting to our villagers that Erdao River Village is preparing to participate in the spiritual civilization village selection, and if we actually win, at the end of the year every household will get meat to eat."

Chu Zizhou gaped, "I don’t see what connection there is between the two."

"Starting now, every household must keep the area in front of their gates clean, including potholes, but not limited to other places. Then, based on cleanliness and greenification, we select three spiritually civilized households, with fifty yuan for the first place, thirty yuan for the second place, and ten yuan for the third place. The brigade headquarters is very rich now, so don’t tell me you can’t afford these ninety yuan."

Chu Zizhou, "I still don’t see the connection between the two. And, what do you mean by ’greenification’?"

Song Yunuan patiently said, "Have you seen the front of my house and the educated youth spot?"

Chu Zizhou’s eyes lit up.

It was just June, and every household had tidied up their vegetable gardens. Now the fresh vegetables were coming in non-stop.

It was the season for shepherd’s purse, and the Song family hadn’t been out selling shepherd’s purse for a long time.

That’s because the Song family had horses and big geese this year, and as usual, as soon as it got hot, the smell would become unbearable.

This year, with Song Yunuan managing the home, the young girl wasn’t picky, and anything would do, but she still cleaned up the house. Now only a part of the blue bricks were missing, but regardless of whether the house was built or not, the yard had to be kept clean, and there could be no smell. Old Man Song kept everything spick and span every day.

Then, he also transplanted mugwort around the horse stable. Old Man Song was very skilled at tending flowers and plants. Upon hearing Song Yunuan’s suggestion, fences and the house walls, especially the sides, including the outside of the gate, should remain untouched, even if the house was being built.

So, he transplanted wildflowers dug up from the mountains that were likely to survive.

Previously, where only wild grass grew, the wildflowers had just about all survived after their acclimation period.

Many were budding, and some had even started blooming.

From a distance, it presented a rather serene rustic charm.

The educated youth spot was the same.

Xia Xinshan was honest but capable, and with Sun Zhiqing who was also hardworking, they transplanted quite a few wildflowers and plants. Sun Zhiqing even said it felt like a pastoral poem.

Song Yunuan said, "The countryside should have the flavor of the countryside, having everyone transplant wildflowers and plants to beautify their homes also helps to improve their spirit. This aligns with the core of a spiritually civilized village perfectly. Besides, the brigade headquarters doesn’t have time to fix village roads. Now, with areas designated, if we can’t build bridges, we can at least patch the roads, don’t you think my home’s front is neat?"

Chu Zizhou nodded, "Indeed, it’s neat."

Song Yunuan, "When are they arriving?"

"Next week, in three days."

"How long will they stay?"

"Both of them are idlers, who knows?" Chu Zizhou muttered resentfully.

He really didn’t like the idea of those two coming.

One was a meddlesome mom, and the other, a meddlesome sister.

"Announce it in a meeting tomorrow morning and take action immediately. By the time they arrive, the village might end up looking completely different," Song Yunuan said.

Chu Zizhou replied, "With just three days, it would be good enough to get it cleaned up, and we mustn’t let the villagers know we’re doing it for them."

"Haven’t we already said it’s for the selection of the Model Village and Households?"

Song Yunuan looked at Chu Zizhou, "You not only have to aim for the Model Village award, but also participate in all selections, striving to bring back a bunch of certificates."

"Also, pay attention to personal hygiene. Tell everyone that at any time, high-ranking officials could come to inspect the work. From now on, spitting and urinating or defecating anywhere is not allowed. If caught, the person won’t only be fined fifty cents but will also have to clean the village’s sanitation for a day."

Chu Zizhou was not one to hesitate.

He wasn’t worried about disobedience either.

After all, he used to be quite a ruffian and had only recently toned down a lot.

With such a stir, Erdao River Village was certain to transform drastically.

At the very least, it would be more pleasant for him to look at.

Hmm, that wily girl, Song Yunuan, was also doing this for herself.

Without waiting for tomorrow, he immediately started to announce a public meeting over the loudspeaker.

By now, Chu Zizhou’s authority had grown very strong.

After the announcement, Chu Zizhou stood in the courtyard with a stern gaze, looking gravely at the village representatives, "If anyone has any doubts, speak now."

Old Man Song immediately raised his hand and said, "I have none, the entire Song family supports this. Competing for the title of Model Village is such an honor; we will definitely adhere to the regulations."

When Chu Zizhou’s face turned somber, everyone was afraid.

Especially since Erdao River Village hadn’t had a quiet moment for the past two months. The domineering Old Wang’s family was now quiet as quails.

It was said that Old Woman Mrs. Wang and Old Man Wang, who were involved in child trafficking, were about to be sentenced, and Wang Dazhi might be implicated in a case with the village’s former supply and marketing cooperative, which could mean he might never come out again.

Zhuzi’s punishment was even more severe.

There was talk of a possible settlement, but Lin Qing said there was absolutely no chance of reconciliation.

Not to mention the fate of Big Boss Ding.

A few petty thieves had been disciplined by Chu Zizhou and were now behaving themselves.

At present, Erdao River Village was harmonious.

Someone raised their hand to speak, as it was a rule set by Chu Zizhou.

Chu Zizhou pointed at the person, "You speak!"

The person asked timidly, "But what if I have to spit?"

"Didn’t I just emphasize? It’s about public places, like the brigade headquarters or the roads in the village."

"Oh, I see now. I support it; my whole family does too."

"We support it too."

"Me too, me too!"

The villagers responded one after another, and Chu Zizhou was very pleased.

He then reminded the villagers of the task he had urged them before: to weave straw hats in their spare time, which was still valid.

After some time, they would be collected, and payment would be made at the previous rate, but they must ensure quality and quantity. If anyone tried to deceive and shame Erdao River Village, he would be ruthless.

Another piece of good news was that the pig and chicken farms would be built soon. This was a collective enterprise, recruiting workers, and salaries would be paid according to the treatment of collective workers.

However, a test must be passed, and a wealth of experience was necessary; men and women, young and old, were all eligible.

Chu Zizhou’s attitude was very well-measured.

The villagers were extremely excited.

My goodness, how could so many good things happen all at once?

They had to act quickly and certainly could not lag behind.
