Zhang Jingyang and Zhang Jingxia, brother and sister, took the cut watermelon to the hall and let everyone eat it, Zhang Jingxia took a piece of watermelon, handed it to Yue Haohan, and asked softly: "You are Yue Haojiang's brother, right?" ”

Yue Haohan smiled, took the watermelon, looked at Zhang Jingxia, and replied, "Yes, Yue Haojiang is my younger brother, what's the matter?" Are you classmates with him? ”

Zhang Jingxia said: "Well, a class, I sit in front of him." ”

Yue Haohan said: "Look, the more you talk about this, the closer everyone is, your brother and our Director Guo are brothers, and you are my brother's classmate, if you don't come back on Saturday and Sunday in the future, you can come to my house for dinner." ”

Zhang Jingxia heard Yue Haohan say this, his face turned crimson, and he said: "Haojiang called us, I have eaten twice at your house, you are not at home at work, and the dishes fried by my aunt are very delicious." ”

Ma Yufeng saw Zhang Jingxia standing in front of Yue Haohan, the two of them chatted very speculatively, and a pair of eyes went back and forth on Yue Haohan and Zhang Jingxia, Zhang Jingxia seemed to feel that her mother was looking at herself, turned her head busily, glanced at Ma Yufeng, and said: "Mom, Director Yue is the eldest brother of my classmate Yue Haojiang, and I often tell you, the eldest brother of Yue Haojiang, the first place in our grade." ”

Ma Yufeng looked at her daughter and said with a smile: "Didn't you also take the first grade exam a few times!"

Zhang Jingxia blushed and said, "How can I have Yue Haojiang who has taken the first exam many times!" ”

The dialogue between Ma Yufeng's mother and daughter reminded Yue Haohan that this beautiful and shy girl turned out to be Yue Haojiang's rival in learning, as his younger brothers and sisters often say, I remember that there was once a time when Yue Haojiang took the final exam and won the second place, and his sister Yue Chunxia also made a joke about him, saying that a macho man can't take the exam as a little girl, so it is better to marry that girl home in the future, so that the old Yue's family has the first place and the second place.

When leaving Ma Yufeng's house, Yue Haohan took out the only two hundred yuan on his body and gave it to Ma Yufeng, Guo Chenyang also hurriedly took out the money on his body, and Xiang Yifei even took out more than three hundred yuan at once, Ma Yufeng insisted on not to, Yue Haohan and the others had to put the money on the table and left Ma Yufeng's house.

Under the leadership of Zhang Huaiming's three village cadres, the group visited several poor peasant households due to illness, and in the third group, when passing in front of Zhang Huaishan's house, Zhang Huaiming, the village secretary, pointed to two earthen embryo houses and introduced, saying: "These two families are the two families that we made a fuss here that the whole county knows about some time ago, and the women of the two families are gone, and the two men are now fighting lawsuits." ”

"Lawsuit?" Yue Haohan turned his head to look at Zhang Huaiming and asked.

Zhang Huaiming replied: "Yes, my brother Zhang Huaishan, after dealing with his wife's funeral, went to the court to sue Zhang Yuhong's son-in-law Wan Guojun, and asked Wan Guojun to compensate for his losses." ”

"And how did the court decide?" Yue Haohan asked.

Zhang Huaiming replied: "There is no verdict yet, after the accident of Wan Guojun, he also returned to his hometown, but he never came, and the children and old people of Zhang Yuhong's family were also taken care of by each other. ”

Everyone was talking, and when they arrived at the door of the three groups of large sheep farmers Li Fujia, Li Fu's house was a trip to four red brick houses, and there were two partial houses on the left and right, which were also red brick and blue tile houses, and the yard was a cement floor.

Standing at the door of Li Fufu's house, Li Rongfu, the village director, said: "Li Fufu is my nephew, 38 years old, a little disabled leg, is the sequelae of polio when he was a child, can not do heavy work, by chance, he saw a goat breeding to get rich information, immediately attracted, said to do it, and began to breed goats." ”

Guo Chenyang took Li Rongfu's words and asked, "Then how many sheep does Li Fufu raise now?" ”

Li Rongfu replied: "There are currently more than 200 in stock. ”

Yue Haohan then asked, "Then where is his sheepfold?" Is it captive or free-range? ”

Li Rongfu replied: "Free-range, the sheepfold is covered in the back mountain root, Li Fu said that the sheepfold is not good in the village, I am afraid that the smell of sheep dung and goats will pollute the environment in the village." ”

Yue Haohan said: "Then we will go to the back mountain to see Li Fu's sheep." ”

The group left the door of Li Fu's house and walked towards the back mountain, and after walking for about ten minutes, they saw a large group of sheep grazing grass on the barren slope of the back mountain; At the bottom of the slope, there are more than a dozen sheepfolds built of blue bricks.

When everyone arrived at the sheepfold, they saw Li Fu washing the sheepfold with water, and when they saw someone coming, Li Fu turned off the water, dropped the water pipe in his hand, and limped over to greet everyone.

Yue Haohan stood in front of the sheepfold, pointed to the sheep on the slope, and asked, "How many sheep do you have on this hillside?" Is the sheep good to sell now? How much does it cost? ”

Li Fu replied: "Now there are a total of 256 sheep together with the big and small ones, and I don't worry about selling the sheep, there are a lot of them in Yanshan City, and they all come to buy them, and the price is also good." ”

Yue Haohan asked again: "Lao Li, how much do you earn a year?" ”

Li Fu replied: "My gross income last year was more than 80,000 yuan, excluding expenses, the net income was about 40,000 yuan, and it is estimated that the gross income can reach about 100,000 yuan by the end of this year." ”

Yue Haohan exclaimed: "It's really not simple! Lao Li, you are not disabled! Don't just get rich yourself, you also have to rely on your sheep raising technology to drive the poor households in the village to get rich together. ”

Hearing Yue Haohan say this, Li Fufu smiled honestly and did not speak, and Zhang Huaiming, the village party secretary standing next to Yue Haohan, introduced: "Li Furen is very good, last year he gave five ewes to three poor households for free, and this year he sent four more households. ”

Yue Haohan nodded appreciatively and said, "Yes, our branch is to absorb such experts in getting rich and leaders to join the party, and strengthen the leading role of our village branch in leading the villagers to get rich." ”

Through in-depth conversations with Li Fuhan, Yue Haohan learned that at the beginning, Li Fufu went around raising funds from relatives and friends, built a sheepfold, and bought twenty sheep cubs, ready to do a big job. However, the lack of scientific breeding technology and the lack of understanding of the laws of the market led to a loss in the first year.

In the face of the sudden blow, Li Fu was not discouraged and did not retreat, but through calm reflection, he realized that the reason why he failed was because he did not know how to breed scientifically.

Where you fall, you get up from there. Since then, Li Fu has taken the initiative to participate in the farmers' scientific and technological sheep raising training courses, and systematically learned and mastered practical technologies such as feed formulation, rapid fattening, improving the epidemic prevention of sheep cubs, and raising and preventing diseases. Li Fu in strict accordance with the learned sheep technology feeding, regular disease prevention for the sheep cubs, in the continuous practice, he summed up the five principles of scientific breeding, excellent breeds, reasonable epidemic prevention, perfect management, comprehensive nutrition and clean environment.

At the same time, Li Fu seized the opportunity, and several larger ** restaurants to establish a long-term cooperative relationship, the second year of sheep, breeding more than half a year on the sale to the market, the second year of sheep net income of more than 16,000 yuan, after which he expanded the scale of breeding, the construction of 80 meters long, 10 meters wide sheep shed, the number of sheep reached more than 250 now.

While Li Fufu continued to grow and develop his own breeding, he saw that other sheep farmers in the village had low efficiency in raising sheep because of backward sheep raising concepts, poor equipment conditions, poor market information, and blind follow-up breeding. He saw it in his eyes, anxious in his heart, and took the initiative to invite breeding experts to the county animal husbandry bureau to solve the problems existing in the breeding technology of these people, and also specially paid to organize farmers to go to other places to learn advanced breeding experience, so as to improve the breeding level of the village's sheep raising professional households.

Under the leadership of Li Fufu, the sheep farmers in Zhangjiawa Village have gradually increased, and there are currently 10 professional sheep raising households in the village, regularly providing pollution-free mutton to the market, with an annual gross income of more than 400,000 yuan, and an average gross income of about 40,000 yuan, so that the pockets of this part of the farmers are slowly bulging up and improving their living standards.

In Zhangjiawa Village, whenever people mention Li Fufu, the villagers will give a thumbs up and praise him. Li Fufu set up a leading banner among the villagers to get rich, and also became a good example for the villagers of Zhangjiawa Village to get rich.

Leaving from Li Fu's sheepfold, Yue Haohan and his entourage followed the three village cadres and walked towards the place where the Black Dragon Spring was located. The location of the Black Dragon Spring is in a place surrounded by pines and cypresses in front of the mountain behind the village of Zhangjiawa Village.

Walking on the road, Zhang Huaiming, secretary of the branch, said: "There is a legend about the Black Dragon Spring in our village. ”

"There's a legend? Let's hear it. Xiang Yifei looked at Zhang Huaiming with interest and said.

Zhang Huaiming said: "Then let me tell you, this legend has been passed down from generation to generation here. ”

Legend has it that a long time ago, this area of Zhangjiawa Village suffered a major drought that had not been encountered in a century, and the crops were not harvested. Ordinary people dragged their families out to flee the famine and ask for food. There was a young man named Zhang Heilong in the village, who had only been married for a short time, and his old mother was seriously ill and did not want to run away from home. He was determined to lead the villagers in search of a water source, and they dug a well day and night in the place of the Black Dragon Spring in the mountain roots. A day or two passed, and still not a drop of water came out.

On the night of August 15, Zhang Heilong asked his partners to go home for reunion, but he was alone by the well, the stars came out, a round of silver plate-like full moon climbed up the East Mountain, pouring white silver light like water to the earth, as gentle as a light veil, Zhang Heilong raised the digging hammer, and dug up, digging and digging, suddenly, Zhang Heilong heard a nightingale singing: "Black dragon and black dragon are coming home, wife and mother are in a hurry!" Zhang Heilong raised his head and looked at it, then shook his head, and continued to plan. The nightingale flew from the tree to the top of his head with a "flutter", hovering, and singing: "Black dragon, black dragon, don't dig, wife and mother are in a hurry." Zhang Heilong picked up a stone and threw it at the nightingale, driving the nightingale away.

Dig, dig, the moon has set, and the earth is gray. Suddenly, a golden light flashed in the sky, and when Zhang Heilong looked up, he saw a white-haired old man standing in front of him with a cane in his hand, and said to him: "Child, you listen to me, you are sincere, I have come to help you." Now the water is at your feet, just pound it with my cane, and the water will come out, but from now on, you will never see your wife and old mother, do you have the courage? If you have the courage, come and pound it with my cane, and when you pound it, the spring will come out. ”

Zhang Heilong said: "Grandpa Fairy, as long as the water comes out, it can save the lives of the whole village, I have the courage, you give me the crutches in your hand, and I will pound it!" ”

After Zhang Heilong finished speaking, the old man stretched out his crutches in front of Zhang Heilong, Zhang Heilong reached out to pick up the crutches, and immediately thought of the newlywed Yan'er's wife and the seriously ill bedridden old mother, whose life was hanging by the line, they must be anxiously waiting for him to come home, and they couldn't help but hesitate. Seeing this, the old man said: "Although it is difficult for ten families, one family is better, children, let's go home!" "Then he turned around and left.

Zhang Heilong remembered that the villagers were separated from their wives because of the drought, went out to escape the famine, and mourned all over the wilderness, so he hurriedly caught up with the old man, and cried loudly: "Don't leave the old man!" I'll pound, I'll pound, you give me crutches. ”

The old man turned around, shook his head, and said, "No, child, the good day has passed, and if you want the spring water to come out, you have to gouge out your eyes." Zhang Heilong gritted his teeth and pointed at his eyes. Ah", Zhang Heilong cried out in pain. With this terrible scream, the two eyeballs rolled to the ground, and in an instant they turned into two clear and sweet fountains, and the spring water bubbled out, and Zhang Heilong immediately poured into the spring.

On the second day, the villagers rushed to the spring, only to see two fountains that could not be seen to the end, converging into a river and rushing down to the east. People followed the river, shouting Zhang Heilong's name, looking for it! I have been finding the entrance to the Yangjiang River, but I can no longer find Zhang Heilong. Since then, people have called this spring the Black Dragon Spring, and the river water is called the Black Dragon River.

Zhang Huaiming finished telling the legend of the Black Dragon Spring, everyone also arrived near the Black Dragon Spring, and did not see the Black Dragon Spring, but there were already gusts of cool breeze blowing from the front, which made people feel very cool, everyone quickened the pace, and walked forward about 100 meters or so, turned the bend on the path, which made people's eyes shine, not far from the front of a small mountain depression, there are pines and cypresses everywhere, and there is a large bamboo forest next to it, the environment is very pleasant. Zhang Huaiming pointed forward with his hand and said, "The Black Dragon Spring is there." ”

When everyone arrived at the spring, they saw two streams of clear spring water, gushing out from the root of the mountain, and bursts of cool air came from the direction of the spring. Yue Haohan turned his head to look at Zhang Huaiming beside him, and asked, "Secretary Zhang, the temperature in front of this Black Dragon Spring is about ten degrees, right?" ”

Zhang Huaiming replied: "The perennial temperature remains between 12 and 14 degrees Celsius. ”

Yue Haohan squatted down by the spring, stretched out his hands, and touched the spring water twice, and suddenly felt a bone-chilling coolness penetrate his skin, and he couldn't help but sneeze.

Li Rongfu, the village chief next to him, said: "In the spring water of Heilongquan, fresh meat can not deteriorate for several months, and some villagers in our village will seal the uneaten meat with plastic bags, tie a rope, throw it into the spring water for preservation, and then come and salvage it when you want to eat it." ”
