Jiang Chen thought for a moment, then turned to Er Yong and asked, "What should you do with the water in your village?" Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Er Yong looked at the old people and then replied to Jiang Chen: "They are all machine wells, this place is on the plateau, and the terrain is relatively high, so it is difficult to get water, which is why we only have one village here." In the early years, there were no deep wells, so we all went to the hill to carry water to eat. ”

"Oh?" Jiang Chen's eyes lit up and he said to Er Yong, "Is there water under the hill?"

Er Yong nodded and said: "There are several shallow wells under the plateau, which have been there since ancient times, and the past drafts of these ten miles and eight villages have gone there." ”

When he heard that it was a well, Jiang Chen was a little disappointed, but he said unwillingly: "Aren't there any small rivers or streams near here?" ”

Eryong thought about it, but didn't come up with it. At this time, I only heard the dog next to me speak: "Second, second brother, isn't there a ditch on the other side of that mountain?"

Er Yong heard this, and then said excitedly: "Yes, how did I forget this." ”

After speaking, Er Yong pointed to the mountains in the distance and said to Jiang Chen: "Look there, there is the skirt mountain (affiliated mountain range) of Taibai Mountain, and there is a small river flowing out of the mountain. In the early years, because of the drought here, the local organization built a dam there. However, because it has been useless for so many years, it has long been abandoned, and I don't know if there is still water or not. ”

"Oh?" Jiang Chen and the others suddenly became excited. When I saw Cui Lao, he grabbed Er Yong and said excitedly: "Go, go, take me to see." ”

Seeing this, Er Yong then looked at Jiang Chen. Seeing this, Jiang Chen then persuaded Cui Lao: "Cui Lao, you see that it has just finished raining now, and the road is too difficult to walk, your age, I think it is better to let us go." ”

"Whoever said I can walk. Lao Lu and Lao Liu, you are here, I'll go and see, and we'll meet in the village when we go back." Without waiting for Jiang Chen and them to react, Cui Lao grabbed Er Yong and walked towards the mountain. And Jiang Chen and the others also smiled bitterly when they saw this, and Lu Lao and Liu Lao laughed and scolded.

Seeing that the road was not easy to walk, and the old man was a little old, Jiang Chen said to Lu Lao and them worriedly: "Old Cui is so old, the road is not easy to walk, I think I should go with him, so that I can take care of it." ”

Lu Lao and Liu Lao glanced at each other, then nodded and said, "Okay, you can go along, so that we can rest assured." Don't worry, we're here, and we'll meet in the village when we're done here. ”

Seeing this, Jiang Chen then gave instructions to the accompanying cadres, and then took Guo Wei to chase after Cui Lao. Seeing this, Cui Lao complained about Jiang Chen for a while, and then he could only let Jiang Chen accompany him. The road is really difficult to walk, especially on the loess plateau where it has rained, and it is even more muddy. As we all know, this loess has good adhesion, and in the past, the countryside did not use cement and sand to build houses, but the clay mixed with water was used to build a house in the countryside. The bond is high and very strong. Jiang Chen and his party walked for a while, and their feet were covered with mud, and then they couldn't lift them, so they could only wait until everyone peeled off the dirt on their feet before they could continue walking. After walking for nearly an hour, everyone finally arrived at the dam that Er Yong said.

The dam is not big, because of the disrepair, the cement on the dam has fallen off a little, and there are many cracks in some places. Probably because of the rain, the water level inside the dam is almost the same as the dam, and now it is leaking down through several openings in the dam. Jiang Chen looked at the gaps, which were done by manpower, because several steel bars in the gaps had been cut off. The water in the dam is very mixed, and there is some garbage floating on it that has been washed down by the rain, giving it a very dilapidated appearance.

As soon as Cui Lao came here, he and a few accompanying researchers were busy non-stop. Jiang Chen really didn't understand how he could have so much energy at such an age. Seeing Cui Lao climbing up and down around this dam, Jiang Chen was very worried, so he asked this Er Yong and Guo Wei to follow to protect his safety. As for Jiang Chen, he found a relatively clean place, washed his sticky shoes with water, and rested and waited for Cui Lao and them.

After a while, Cui Lao walked up to Jiang Chen with his little notebook and said with a smile: "Xiao Jiang, there is no problem here." I just saw that the main structure of the dam is still very complete, as long as we strengthen it a little, it can be used. You see, the straight-line distance from here to the site is about seven or eight kilometers, and we can use the pipeline, using siphon left and right, to suck the water from here to the plateau. In this way, our water problem can be easily solved. ”

"Great. Jiang Chen also said excitedly.

Cui Lao looked at Jiang Chen and then continued to smile: "I just looked, we can use the canal they originally dug to replace part of the pipe, which can also save us a sum of money." ”

"Hehe, Elder Cui, it's hard work. Then let's go back quickly, you look at the sky and the sky is gray, and then it will go down. Jiang Chen looked at the sky and said the earth.

Cui Lao looked at the sky for a moment, and then nodded at Jiang Chen and said, "Let's go, let's go back and make Lao Lu and Lao Liu happy." Let me tell you, as soon as this place came, I fell in love with it, you see that this folk is simple, and it is sparsely populated, and it is easy to keep secrets、、、"

Jiang Chen and his party started their return journey, and they were only halfway through when the rain began to fall, but it was not very good. Jiang Chen was worried about Cui Lao's body, so he sped up. It was supposed to take more than an hour to travel, but everyone had to walk for forty minutes to get there. On the way, Jiang Chen and the others met the personnel who came to pick up Jiang Chen and them, and everyone avoided getting soaked. Back in the village, Jiang Chen found that he didn't know when a canvas shed had been erected in a vacant lot in front of the village. Under the greenhouse, Lu Lao Liu and Lao are sitting on them. Seeing Jiang Chen coming back, everyone hurriedly welcomed them in. As soon as they sat down, they saw a few women bringing Jiang Chen a large bowl of noodles. The bowl is really big, it is a typical small-bottomed wide-mouth black glazed sea bowl, looking at this big bowl of noodles, Jiang Chen and the others didn't dare to move their chopsticks.

I saw this old branch secretary Ma Fucai and said to Jiang Chen and them: "Come on, come on, plate (eat) a bowl of Zhenzi noodles (Qishan Zhenzi noodles), go to the cold, warm up and warm your body." ”

Seeing that the old branch secretary and the people in the village were very enthusiastic, everyone was not easy to excuse and then eat. The noodles are very strong, the noodles are very fragrant, and it seems that they should be boiled from freshly killed pigs. Everyone was sweating profusely, but they never got tired of it. The only drawback is that this bowl is very large, and Jiang Chen, who eats a bowl of noodles, is a little supportive. I thought that the old people would not be able to finish it, but I didn't expect that everyone had a great appetite, and they all finished eating one by one, and even drank the soup. And the people in the village also ate it, Jiang Chen was stunned when he saw that a young man actually ate three bowls of noodles, but this person was not full yet, and asked for another bowl.

After the meal, everyone began to discuss the next work while resting. And the old branch secretary and they were also sitting there, waiting to discuss this land acquisition with Jiang Chen and them. Shortly after eating, the only phone in the village rang, and a notice from the county came from inside. said that the leaders of the county were already rushing to them, and asked them to keep Jiang Chen and them no matter what. Jiang Chen and the others stayed when they saw it, after all, the next series of work still had to be in contact with the local authorities. (To be continued.) )
