Chapter 106: A Thousand Years of Bad Habits

Dong Lin asked Li Lanfang, who was sitting next to her, "Why did you build such a big pool?" ”

Li Lanfang smiled and pointed at Zhao Yunfei and said: "He went to the city to work for a few days, and saw that the toilet in the city was clean, and he also wanted to repair one in his own house. ”

Dong Tao nodded and cast an approving glance at Zhao Yunfei.

Dong Lin asked, "What if the pool is full?" ”

Zhao Yunfei picked up the tea jar and refilled the tea for the two, and said: "When it is full, it is pumped away by a pumping truck, it is a good fertilizer, and there are people who specialize in this industry." ”

Li Lanfang's face was full of joy, and she said: "After the repair, I will have a place to go to the toilet, and I am becoming more and more unaccustomed to the earthen toilets in the countryside." ”

Dong Tao has fallen into contemplation at this time, she just came to the grassroots work not long ago, as a girl who grew up in a big city, she does not know about the real rural life, since taking over the work, has been performing her duties step by step, she wants to make some achievements, but she doesn't know where to start, Zhao Yunfei's family repairs toilets This matter has inspired her a lot, although the countryside is not as rich as the city now, but it is much stronger than in the past, and the health situation in the countryside has not improved much, and it is not even as good as before, In addition to the problem of toilet hygiene, there was not so much garbage before, and now there is not a small amount of garbage generated in rural areas.

Dong Tao thought of this and asked Zhao Yunfei: "Which one of you is in charge of this small project?" ”

Zhao Yunfei stretched out his hand and pointed to Zhao Honghong, who was working with cement mortar, and said: "He is, he is the leader of our contractor team!" ”

Dong Tao said: "You invite him over, and I'll talk to him." ”

Zhao Yunfei stood up and shouted, "Second brother, come over for a while, Secretary Dong wants to talk to you." ”

"Talk to me? Oh, good, good. After all, Zhao Honghong is a contractor, and he has dealt with government officials, but he is not frightened, he handed over the shovel to Ergou and walked over.

Dong Tao stretched out his hand and said, "Hello, my name is Dong Tao." ”

Zhao Hongli hurriedly rubbed his hand on his pants and shook hands with Dong Tao.

"Hello Secretary Dong, my surname is Zhao, and Zhao Yunfei is my family, you call me Lao Zhao." Zhao Honghong's face was humble.

Dong Tao smiled and said, "Master Zhao, please take a seat, I want to know a little about the situation from you." ”

Zhao Hongli sat down on the small bench and said, "Please speak, I know what I must report to you truthfully." ”

Li Lanfang poured a cup of tea with a water cup and put it in front of Zhao Honghong, Zhao Hongli was feeling uncomfortable under Dong Tao's beautiful gaze, seeing Li Lanfang pouring water for him, he smiled at Li Lanfang, holding the teacup with both hands and taking a sip to hide his nervousness.

"Ah, that's the case, I want to know, how many households like Zhao Yunfei can repair toilets in our East Longquan Village?" Dong Tao's beautiful eyes looked at Zhao Honghong.

Zhao Honghong let go of the water cup with both hands, put his hands on his knees, sat up straight and said, "No, there is not a single household, just Zhao Yunfei's family." ”

Dong Tao smiled slightly, ignored Zhao Honghong's nervousness, and continued to ask, "Then do you think it's good to repair the toilet like this?" ”

Zhao Honghong slapped his thigh and opened the conversation: "Of course it's good, it's exactly the same as the toilet in the city, let me tell you, the toilet in our countryside is too backward, especially in summer, that dirty, that smelly, oh, by the way, Ergou, what do you say?" ”

Ergou listened to it for a long time, and now he finally had a chance to perform, stopped what he was doing, and shouted at Dong Tao and them:

A big vat is hidden in the earth,

two planks of three-foot walls;

Summer stinks so much that there is nowhere to hide,

It's so cold in winter that I call my mother.

After Ergou finished saying his own smirk, Dong Tao and Dong Lin couldn't help but laugh when they heard it, and felt that this smooth mouth was quite vivid.

Zhao Honghong said: "Yes, that's it, the toilet in our Donglongquan Village is like this, in fact, this slip is not all, in the summer, the flies and mosquitoes, groups of people, can't go away." ”

Holding the edge of the pond and stretching his neck, the bricklayer added: "Children have drowned in the earthen toilets in our village!" ”

"Oh? Anything like this has happened? Dong Tao asked.

Zhao Honghong said: "This is a true thing, just two years ago, a three-year-old child in the north of the village accidentally fell into a dung tank and drowned, anyway, this kind of earthen toilet has no benefit at all." ”

Dong Tao listened very carefully, and took out a small notebook from his bag, taking notes on something.

"How much does it cost to repair a toilet like Zhao Yunfei's house?" Dong Tao asked.

Zhao Honghong saw that Dong Tao was making records, and he was even more energetic, and said with his fingers: "If you really calculate it, in fact, it doesn't cost much, the labor is mainly done by yourself, no need to spend money, at most you can manage a meal, mainly the material cost, however, the material is endless, there is money with gold and silver, and some are money to greet it, like our ordinary old farmers save a lot, bricks and sand basically don't cost money, sewer PVC pipes are very cheap, and they don't use much, like Zhao Yunfei bought a flush toilet, More than 300 yuan, this is expensive, if you buy that kind of ceramic urinal is only more than 20 yuan, it will be calculated according to the flush toilet of more than 300 yuan, all added together, 500 yuan will definitely block. ”

Dong Tao nodded, wrote down some numbers in his notebook, and continued to ask: "Do you think that if such a toilet is repaired, how many households in the village can afford to repair it now?" ”

"Well...... Zhao Honghong pondered for a moment, then turned his head to Zhao Yunfei, who was working with Ergou, and said, "Brother, I'm straightforward, don't take it to heart......"

Zhao Yunfei was mixing cement mortar with Ergou, and when he heard Zhao Honghong talking to him, he smiled and said, "It's okay, just say it." ”

Zhao Hongli looked at Dong Tao and said: "My Yunfei brother can afford it, more than 90% of the people in the village can afford it, my brother, life is hard, I have no father since I was a child, and I have brought up my sister, although the villagers can help, but who has whose difficulties, how much can I help......

Li Lanfang smiled: "Second brother, where are you going?" ”

"Yes, yes, look at my mouth," Zhao Hongli patted his thigh, "However, life is much better now." ”

Dong Tao didn't mind Zhao Hongdong's words, and asked with a smile: "Then do you think everyone is willing to repair such a toilet?" ”

Zhao Honghong closed his mouth, thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "This is really hard to say!" ”

"Since earthen toilets are unhygienic and have potential safety hazards, why are people reluctant to build such clean and safe toilets?" Dong Tao frowned and asked.
