For young people who grew up in the city, such as Gan Xiaohuang Xiaoou, the monkey back is a spectacle. If you climb over the mountain, you will see a variety of houses on the hillside, from top to bottom.

It's not an exaggeration to say that there are all kinds of things. Some of the houses are made of stone, and they look very heavy. Some of the houses are made of adobe bricks and are very dilapidated. There are also some wooden houses, which look quite quaint. But no matter what kind of house it is, there is one thing in common, that is, there is only one floor, not more than two floors. It stretches from the slopes of the mountains to the ravines.

As soon as Xiao Huang saw such a scene, he immediately raised his camera and took pictures non-stop...... He kept asking the surrounding villagers.

Gao Chen explained to him with a smile: "Section Chief Huang, we monkeys have a lot of history. It's been a hundred or two years here. When the ancestors moved here, it is said that they were trying to escape the war. At that time, there were only a few households, and now there are almost 100 households.

Gao Chen is a veteran, he has seen some of the world, and he can also distinguish the names of the cadres of the city organs, and he does not call Xiao Huang "Huang cadre" like ordinary villagers...... Instead, he is called Section Chief Huang.

Xiao Huang sighed and said, "Oh, I really didn't expect to see such a big courtyard in the depths of this mountain. ”

Liu Weihong said: "Gao Chen, the old ancestor had to hide in the deep mountains and old forests in order to avoid military disasters. Now that the era is peaceful and prosperous, and the reform and opening up, we can't hold the old yellow calendar unchanged. We have to find a way to develop and get rid of poverty and become rich. ”

Gao Chen was met by Liu Weihong when he first visited several villages deep in the mountains such as Monkey Back Fairy Village on foot, and he had a good impression of this young but highly prestigious veteran village party secretary in the village. has made a promise to Gao Chen that as long as he organizes the villagers to repair the aqueduct, he will be transferred to the district and find a way to solve his cadre treatment.

Liu Weihong likes this kind of young cadres who are dedicated to the public and dare to fight.

And Gao Chen also admired Liu Weihong, a little secretary who was younger than him, who was called a neat and very little official cliché, and after inspecting the actual situation on the monkey's back, he didn't say a word, and promised to solve the urgently needed thunder pipe explosives and cement for him. Since Gao Chen retired from the army two years ago and was elected as the village party secretary by the villagers, in order to repair the aqueduct, he has been running to the township and district for the past two years, and his shoes have been rotten twice, and he has found nothing.

Poor!

The village is poor, the village is poor, and the district is just as poor.

Everyone understands the difficulties of the monkey carrying the villagers, but no one can come up with the money and solve the actual problem.

It wasn't until Liu Weihong visited the monkey's back that this problem was solved. From the first profit of the feed mill, a sum of money was used to support the construction of a canal in the village of Monkey Back.

Some thunder pipe explosive medicine, plus 20,000 yuan, can solve the water supply and subsequent development of hundreds of people in a village, Liu Weihong feels that this account is very worthwhile.

Gao Chen said: "Secretary Liu, when the canal is repaired, the big problem can be solved, and next year will be better." ”

Liu Weihong shook his head and said, "Gao Chen, as a leader, you can't be so short-sighted. Even if the canals are repaired, they can only solve the problem of drinking water for people and animals, and the irrigation problem may not be completely solved. I think that after the main thousand canals are repaired, we will have to think of a way, and there is a problem with our previous irrigation methods. You can't hold any water in this land, and if you pour more water, the crops will not have time to absorb it, and all of it will leak. This one doesn't work. Your canals can't bring in so much water. ”

Gao Chen was stunned for a moment, nodded, and said, "To the secretary, this is the reason, but I really can't think of a good way." ”

Liu Weihong said: "Drip irrigation! Gao Chen, do you understand what drip irrigation is? ”

Gao Chen shook his head again and again, looking a little dazed.

Liu Weihong said: "This drip irrigation is an irrigation technology invented by Israeli farms. Israel is in the Middle East and has a severe water shortage. But their crops can be harvested every year, and scientific planting is the fundamental premise. The so-called drip irrigation technology is to directly connect water pipes to the fields and act on the roots of crops. To put it simply, it means that each plant has a faucet at the root, and it is watered regularly every day, and the water flow is not large, it is small, and it drips down little by little. Basically, before it has time to penetrate, the plants will be able to absorb all the water. The amount of water used is small, but it can meet the needs of the crops, understand? ”

Gao Chen pondered, imagining what kind of model the drip irrigation technology Liu Weihong said.

Liu Weihong simply walked directly into a slope from the mountain road, pointed to some crops planted in the field, and gave Gao Chen a "lesson" on the spot. It must be known that Secretary Liu used to be a gentleman in an agricultural school, and preaching and solving doubts is an old profession.

Seeing this, Mu Xinmin, Xiao Huang Xiaoou and others had to stop, came to the field, and listened to Liu Weihong's "lecture" with the villagers. Everyone was also at a loss.

Mu Xinmin or "Xiao Huang Xiaoou or Xiao Huang Xiaoou don't go out of the farmer's house, and they don't understand these agricultural science and technology knowledge at all."

Gao Chen's comprehension is very high, and after listening to it for a while, he scratched his head and said, "Secretary Liu, I understand what you mean...... The truth is that it is, but how much does this water pipe cost? We're all over the mountains and slopes......"

If there is a drip irrigation hose at the root of each plant, it will be repaid, and I don't know how much it will cost. Don't say that the monkey back doesn't have the financial resources at all, even if it is in the mountainous area, it can't give so much money.

Mu Xinmin's face also showed a look of disapproval. Young people know that they are so high-minded, and they are not down-to-earth at all.

Liu Weihong scolded with a smile: "Gao Chen, you stupid! The water pipes must be made of iron, and they have to pay for them? Look up for yourself, the bamboo mountain opposite, the bamboo all over the mountain, you won't take local materials? Get the bamboo back, split it in half, open the middle, drill some holes, and connect them together, isn't it a water pipe? You control the source of the canal, make some small gates, and open the gates regularly for two or three hours every day, that is enough, use your brains! ”

On the opposite mountain, about ten miles away from the monkey's back, it is indeed a dense bamboo forest like the sea, lush and magnificent. Bamboo is drought-tolerant, has a well-developed root system, and goes deep into the ground, where ordinary crops cannot grow, bamboo can adapt.

Gao Chenmao paused, patted his head excitedly, and shouted, "Yes, this is a ready-made material, why didn't I think of it?" Secretary Liu, it's still your brain! ”

In fact, it's not that Gao is stupid, the key is that he didn't know that there was such a thing as drip irrigation technology before. Liu Weihong also learned about this technology because of the memory of working in the Provincial Academy of Agricultural Sciences in later generations.

Xiao Ou hurriedly opened the notebook and recorded Liu Weihong's words in the notebook.

Mu Xinmin said: "Well, Comrade Liu Weihong's method seems to be good. If it works, it is worth working in other rural areas in the county. Moso bamboo is not valuable, and it is a good idea to use it instead of water pipes. ”

Xiao Ou hurriedly recorded Secretary Mu's words, and said in his heart that Secretary Mu was far-sighted and always looked at the problem from the perspective of the overall situation.

Liu Weihong smiled slightly and nodded yes.

Although he came up with this idea, Mu Xinmin said it a bit of "grabbing credit". But if it can really be promoted throughout the county, it will be a good thing, and it will benefit many farmers. After all, Mu Xinmin is the secretary of the county party committee, and no matter how good Liu Weihong is, he can't manage the districts and towns outside Jiashan for the time being, so he has to rely on the power in Mu Xinmin's hands.

"Secretary Liu, I will arrange for someone to go over there tomorrow to cut bamboo and make water pipes. Let's test it first, if it works, we have to do it immediately, otherwise we won't be able to catch up with next year's spring sowing. ”

Gao Chen is also a vigorous and resolute character...... Hearing that Liu Weihong was reasonable, he geared up, and just wanted to do it right away.

Liu Weihong patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Let's go, let's go to the village first, Secretary Mu, I'm really tired, I have to take a good rest." ”

"Ah, okay, okay Secretary Mu, please!"

The mountain is very steep, and the mountain path is very narrow, so you have to be careful to walk on it. Fortunately, Xiao Ou's leather shoes have long broken their high heels, otherwise she would easily fall down on this kind of mountain road, which would be a big trouble.

Rao is so Gao Chen also made a special arrangement, asking two female villagers to support Xiao Ou, for fear that she would fall. A few hundred meters of hillside, if you really roll down, it's not fun, it will kill you. And Gao Chen himself personally supported Mu Xinmin. Regardless of whether Mu Xinmin is the secretary of the county party committee or not, he is not young, he is considered an elder, and when he comes to the back of a monkey as a guest, Gao Chen should protect the safety of others.

As for Secretary Liu, he doesn't have to care.

This man is strong, and his physical strength is better than that of the mountain people.

Gao Chen's home, at the bottom of the hillside, was built on a slightly flat slope, with bluestone walls, and the roof was also covered with air-dried thatch, pasted with a layer of mud, a total of three houses. Gao Chen's parents live in one room, Gao Chen lives in another, and two younger siblings live in one room. Gao Chen's house was used as a temporary reception room, and his parents' bedroom doubled as a kitchen. Of course, if it's not particularly cold weather, cooking is all outside, building an earthen stove and burning firewood. In winter, it is indoors, with some charcoal and some charcoal, which can not only cook rice but also keep warm.

As for Gao Chen, the branch secretary's room, there is a bed, or a shelf made of stones, with a bamboo bed board on it, some dry thatch, and a simple yellow cloth quilt, which you can know at a glance that it is an item of the army, and when he was discharged, the head of the unit allowed Gao Chen to take it home.

In addition, there is a homemade wooden table and several homemade bamboo chairs and wooden stools, which are uneven in height and height, which is a small office space. Seven or eight people went in, and it was very narrow.

Seeing this appearance, Xiao Ou Xiaohuang couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

This is the home and office of the village party secretary?! ~！
