Chapter 2218

They had many reasons for not wanting to relocate, such as it being hard to leave one's native land, such as not being used to the official tone of those staff doing mobilization work, such as this or that, but no reason could be said in front of Su Xinghui. County Magistrate Su was so good to them, yet they didn't support County Magistrate Su's work.

In front of Su Xinghui, they all felt ashamed.

After a long while, the old farmer said: "County Magistrate Su, we are not against relocation. We don't oppose our own sons and grandsons wanting to move. However, we old guys don't want to move. We have lived here for a lifetime and are used to it. No matter where we move, we won't be used to it!"

Seeing a circle of people gathered here, many more people walked over and gathered outside the crowd, listening to them talk.

Several other old farmers also nodded and said: "Yes, we are just used to living here and are not used to living in other places. County Magistrate Su, we are not intentionally not supporting your work."

These old farmers had a very humble demeanor at this time. They were all old farmers who had been honest all their lives. Facing such a big cadre as the County Magistrate, they had always been very humble. Originally, Su Xinghui was approachable, and they were very close to Su Xinghui, but at this time they felt sorry for Su Xinghui, so they hung their humbleness on their faces again.

Su Xinghui pointed to his side and smiled: "Everyone, don't stand, sit down."

Everyone sat down. Su Xinghui said: "Everyone, don't be nervous. I came today, and I don't mean to blame everyone. I also understand the truth that it is hard to leave one's native land, so I understand everyone very well."

Hearing Su Xinghui say this, everyone's nervous mood was somewhat relieved.

Su Xinghui said: "However, let me ask everyone a question. Several grandpas, how many years have you moved to this Jingbao Village?"

The old farmer said: "We, we have moved to this Jingbao Village for thirty-five years."

Su Xinghui asked: "Then where did you live before you moved to Jingbao Village?"

The old farmer was stunned again. Yes, where did they live before moving to Jingbao Village? That memory was a bit distant, and it was a bit blurred in his memory.

He was concentrating on recalling, and another old farmer said: "At that time, I moved from Shi Quan Township. At that time, there was no Jingbao Village yet. Jingbao Village was built by us."

This old farmer's memory was also hooked up. He nodded and said: "Yes, I also moved from Shi Quan Township."

At that time, Shi Quan Township had many people and little land. Because Shi Quan Township was in the low mountain area, when land was reclaimed from the lake, many people from Shi Quan Township moved to Jingbao Village, and then took root in Jingbao Village.

Su Xinghui said: "Why didn't you feel it was hard to leave your native land at that time?"
