At 10 o'clock in the morning, the groundbreaking ceremony officially began.

Standing on the rostrum that was temporarily opened were leaders of cities and counties, the main person in charge of Shanqian Township and Yunhe Township, cadres above the League who were responsible for the construction of bridges, and the heads of some county-level units.

The people standing below looked clearly different. The officers and soldiers in the army stood neatly, uniformly dressed, and were very energetic. The cadres and staff of Shanqian Township and Yunhe Township, including the cadres and staff of Shanqian Township Station and the village secretary and director, these people looked much more ordinary.

What really shocked people was the people around them. The school organized some students to attend the start-up ceremony. Looking around, except for places where people cannot stand, there are people everywhere. On the hills, on river beaches, and on open spaces, these people were dressed in an average way. It can be seen that they attach great importance to this day. Few people wear patched clothes, which can be seen in normal times.

Luo Haijian on the rostrum has always been very serious. He did not pay attention to the large machinery, but kept watching these farmers who came to attend the start-up ceremony. When he heard Zhou Tianhao's report, he said that some farmers got up in the middle of the night and came here specifically to attend the start-up ceremony. Luo Haijian felt even more moved.

The amplification equipment is made of equipment brought by Li Yifeng, and the effect is very good, and it is difficult to find such equipment in the local area.

Because Luo Haijian came to attend the construction ceremony, Tianxing County Mayor Lu Xiangsheng presided over the construction ceremony. First, Luo Haijian's speech was delivered, then Li Yifeng's speech, and then Zhao Changhe's speech. After the three leaders spoke, they made statements, namely Yunhe Township Secretary Kuang Rengui, Shanqian Township Party Committee Deputy Secretary Tan Dongming, representatives of the bridge repairing troops, Li Moquan, a villager from Xiaba Village, Yunhe Township, and Li Moquan made statements on behalf of the supervision group and the farmers in Shanqian Township.

The start-up ceremony will not be long.

"Comrades, fellow villagers, today. I am here to preside over the construction ceremony of the Shanqian Township Bridge and feel extremely glorious and proud. Building this bridge is the wish of our Shanqian Township people for many years, and now it is finally coming true..."

Lu Xiangsheng's voice echoed around through the loudspeaker and everyone could hear it. What was amazing is that when Lu Xiangsheng announced the start of the construction ceremony, the surroundings quickly became quiet.

Luo Haijian spoke first.

"On behalf of the Chunshan Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government, I would like to extend my warm congratulations to the start of the Shanqian Township Bridge... I have already felt that the people of Shanqian Township are eager for a bridge. The county party committee and county government have considered this issue and promoted the construction of the bridge. The township party committee and township government seized the opportunity and finally solved the problem of traffic bottleneck in Shanqian Township. All of this is not the most important. The most important thing is the strong support of all the people of Shanqian Township. Your life is very difficult. However, in order to build the bridge, I am willing to live a more difficult life and raise 2 million yuan. This is an amazing innovation. On behalf of the Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government. I would like to express my gratitude to you..."

Warm applause spread from the audience to the surroundings...

Next is Li Yifeng's speech.

"I am a soldier, and I am obeying orders as my duty and accepted the task of building a bridge. This is the order. I won't say anything extra. Please ask the elders and villagers of Shanqian Township and Yunhe Township to look at us and watch us build a solid bridge..."

When Li Yifeng saluted everyone on the rostrum, everyone under the stage, and the surrounding peasants, the atmosphere at the scene was very serious, and everyone applauded desperately.

Next is Zhao Changhe's speech.

"I felt ashamed to attend this start-up ceremony. The people of Shanqian Township have been blocked by a big river for so many years. However, because of our difficulties, the people of Shanqian Township have never been able to go to the road to prosperity. This time, the bridge finally started construction. I feel proud and relieved. I believe that Shanqian Township will definitely embark on the road of rapid development, and our Tianxing County can also develop rapidly..."

The leader’s speech is over, and it’s not long, so it’s time to express his opinion.

The Shanqian Township Government's statement should have been Zhou Tianhao, but Zhou Tianhao asked Tan Dongming to come to the stage to speak. He specifically reported to Zhao Changhe and other leaders. He had not been in Shanqian Township for long. Tan Dongming was from Shanqian Township and was more eager to build the bridge. The greatest contribution was that the people of Shanqian Township were the people of Shanqian Township. Tan Dongming was able to represent the people. Zhao Changhe agreed to Zhou Tianhao's arrangement.

When Tan Dongming came on stage, his hands and feet were trembling.

"On behalf of the Shan District Township Party Committee, the township government here, I will do my best to support the cause of bridge construction and do all the service work... The statement is over, I will say a few more words. I am a native of Shanqian Township. I know the significance of the bridge to Shanqian Township. This is the wish of many people in our Shanqian Township for the rest of their lives. From the time I remember, this big river has swallowed the lives of 37 fellow villagers in our Shanqian Township who want to cross the river. Now, they can rest in peace..."

When the representatives of the troops came to the stage to express their opinions, a thrilling scene appeared. More than a thousand officers and soldiers collectively shouted slogans "Build the bridge" and "Serve the people". The slogans were neat and loud, and the people around them clapped their hands until they were sore...

When Li Moquan came on stage, Zhou Tianhao found something was wrong, and there seemed to be tears in Li Moquan's eyes.

"Dear leaders, it is the greatest honor of my life to be able to come on stage today. This bridge is something we dreamed of looking forward to building..."

Li Moquan's voice choked and the surroundings quickly became quiet.

"...My father fell into this river. At that time, I went to the county to go to high school. My father took me to the county town. The registration time was August 30. I remember very clearly that there was a lot of water in the river that time. I didn't know the depth. I sat by the boat and hit a wave. In order to protect me, my father fell into the river by himself..."

Li Moquan finally couldn't help it and cried out loud. The surroundings were very quiet and no one spoke.

"I have always been looking forward to building the bridge and not letting such a tragedy happen again. Now, the bridge has finally started construction. On behalf of the farmers in Shanqian Township, I would like to thank the superiors, the leaders of the army, and all the leaders who support the bridge repair in Shanqian Township. I can't say a bold statement. I can only say, what is needed for building the bridge? Even if I sell my house, I will support it without hesitation..."

Zhou Tianhao felt his eyes a little astringent. He really didn't know that Li Moquan had such an experience. No wonder Li Moquan had such a big opinion on Gu Changshun and Gu Changgui, but he had to report Gu Changshun and Gu Changgui. Thinking about Gu Changgui's funds to raise funds for the people to build bridges, in less than a year, Li Moquan would definitely not be able to bear it.

When the applause sounded, Zhou Tianhao saw that Li Moquan bowed to the leaders on the rostrum and to the officers and soldiers of the army, and tears flowed down his face.

Luo Haijian walked forward and shook hands with Li Moquan. Li Yifeng also walked forward and shook hands with Li Moquan...

The roaring sound of machines indicates the end of the construction ceremony and the bridge has officially begun to be built.

Li Moquan walked beside Zhou Tianhao.

"Li Moquan, I only knew about your father today. Why didn't you tell me before?"

"Oh, I will never forget this matter in my life. Secretary Zhou, I originally wanted to say it out. The farmers in the township are grateful to you. If you hadn't come to Shanqian Township, you wouldn't know when you would be able to build a bridge."

"Don't say that. I'm not the only one who built the bridge. I can't have so much money to build the bridge. It's all supported by superiors, and the farmers in the village have raised funds. I didn't do anything."

"Secretary Zhou, I didn't have a good impression of the village before. Everyone knew that I like to complain. In fact, I was timid and didn't want to do these things at all. However, some things were done too much in the past, and I couldn't help it. Now, I'm in touch. You have come to Shanqian Township. I won't ask about the past. Yesterday, Secretary Tan notified me and said that it was the leader of the county investigation team. I want to find me for a discussion and understand the situation. What should I say? I'm afraid that it will not be a good idea and will have a bad impact on the village."

"If you know what the situation is, just say what the situation is. If you tell the actual situation, it will not have any impact on the village. If you conceal the situation, it will have a bad impact."

"Secretary Zhou, I understand."

For lunch, I was in the place where the troops camped. Plastic film was spread on the ground, and vegetables in bowls were placed on the plastic film. There was no way there were so many tables, and no one would care about it.

This time, Luo Haijian held a bowl and drank a full bowl of wine with Li Yifeng. Li Yifeng generously expressed his opinion in front of Luo Haijian. In three months, the bridge project would be completed. Seeing today's scene, he understood that the bridge was too important to the people of Shanqian Township. Luo Haijian also made a decisive statement. When the bridge was completed, he must come to celebrate. At that time, the two of them had a good drink and would not stop until they were drunk.

Zhou Tianhao and Kuang Rengui accompanied many leaders. Seeing this scene, Kuang Rengui signaled Zhou Tianhao to toast with his elbow. Zhou Tianhao just shook his head, and he said the wine barrel and did not dare to toast at this time.

Soon, Tan Dongming, Li Moquan and others came to toast with bowls. Kuang Rengui whispered that Zhou Tianhao was amazing and did not mobilize, so the cadres below took the initiative to toast.

After the meal, many leaders were about to leave Shanqian Township. Li Guangming would not leave the next day. There were still some things that needed to be arranged. Xiang Hongxuan was going back, and the second batch of materials had to be organized. Before leaving, Xiang Hongxuan asked Zhou Tianhao to work with peace of mind and not worry about Xiang Lin.
