In the afternoon, Secretary Liwen came, and with him were Uncle Dewen and Deputy Secretary Lian Wang, the three of them can be regarded as the three core cadres of the village, and the remaining village committee members and executive committee members are much lighter, they are here to find Zhou Yali and Gao Liang. He said that he would open a temporary village committee and deploy some things.

Li Chen wanted to leave after saying hello, but was stopped by Secretary Liwen and said that he would listen to it too, and finally have something to say to him.

Li Chen was a little surprised, but he still stayed.

The theme of the meeting was that the construction of a sanatorium for old cadres in Xishan Pass was about to start, and the county should lead the team and set up a special project leading group, and people from all levels in the town and village should join it.

As the construction site of Tizhi Village, the secretary naturally has to join in person, and Zhou Yali and Gao Liang also have to join.

The two of them were supposed to be sent for this, so no one was surprised.

But to Li Chen's slight surprise, among the leaders who joined the town, there was actually Li Tiedon's uncle, Deputy Mayor Niu.

Li Tiedon seemed to have disappeared since he was completely "defeated", and Li Chen didn't have time to pay attention to him, if he hadn't heard the secretary mention it, he wouldn't have remembered him.

Recently, Li Chen's mind has also drifted a little.

Not for anything else, his younger brother is about to take the college entrance examination, no, his mother hasn't been to the mountain field for two months recently, although Li Chen often talks to her on the phone to ask about the situation, but his psychological concern is also increasing day by day.

My younger brother's academic performance is very good, and my mother's expectations for him are quite high. According to Li Chen's understanding of him, it is more than enough to be admitted to the first class.

As for which school his younger brother was admitted to and what major he was in, Li Chen respected his younger brother's wishes and did not interfere much. However, he can see that his younger brother is inclined to major in foreign trade and finance, and according to his own words, it will be so cool to do business with devils and earn money from foreigners in the future!

My mother and sister basically have the same opinion as myself, and fully respect my brother's own wishes. But my mother is more concerned about where my younger brother will be admitted in the future? The mother of the child is worried, this is a common problem of parents, and Li Chen also understands it.

But listening to his younger brother, he will go to Beijing at most, otherwise he will stay in Sanshan City and don't want to go elsewhere.

Li Chen felt that it didn't matter to this, and even encouraged his younger brother that if he had the opportunity, he would experience different environments in different places, which would be a good thing for life, after all, the mountains and rivers of the motherland were majestic and magnificent, and he still had to open his horizons and not stick to the region.

In fact, according to Li Chen's thoughts, once his future career reaches a certain scale, it doesn't matter if his younger brother goes to college or not, and he will have to come back to help him when the time comes.

But I can't talk about this at the moment, besides, everyone's life path is different, and it's not good to interfere with yourself, it's better to go with the flow.

Thinking of these, Li Chen's heart couldn't help but drift to the county seat.

He is ready, he has simply gone to the county seat recently to accompany his younger brother, anyway, everything is normal at home for the time being, just leave his sister to take care of it.

"Hey, Li Chen, you didn't listen to us, did you?"

Li Liwen's voice came, pulling Li Chen out of his state of distraction.

"Huh?"

Li Chen really didn't pay attention to it.

Seeing his soulless appearance, Li Liwen frowned: "You kid, talk to you about business, what are you fooling around, what's the matter, do you miss your daughter-in-law?" ”

"No... No, I don't. ”

Li Chen was embarrassed for a while, and subconsciously scratched his head.

Seeing him look embarrassed, Zhou Yali burst out laughing, but Gao Liang pursed her lips and glanced at Li Chen.

"Okay, as I just said, this project is about to start, and it is of great significance to our village, so we must work together and work hard to cooperate with this work."

Li Liwen seemed to make a concluding speech, and then said to Li Chen: "Chen, in the recent past, Xiao Zhou and Xiao Gao are going to live here with you, after all, you are relatively close to Xishan Pass, and you have to do your best to do a good job in ensuring the lives of the two." ”

Li Chen was depressed when he heard this, and just wanted to say something like Xishan Aozi is not close to me, but suddenly found that Li Liwen was secretly squeezing his eyes at him, and his heart moved, and he didn't say anything.

"Also, the water source in our village has not been very abundant, and now this project is going to be launched, although a well will be drilled as soon as possible, but the water supply in the early stage, the village still has to guarantee. But you also know that after all, the well in the village still has to ensure the drinking water in our village, and that project will consume a lot of water, so the brigade decided to use your well as one of the water sources. ”

Speaking of water, Li Chen's heart was also moved.

Because he heard his sister tell him a few days ago, it seems that the water in his well has become less and the water level has dropped.

The water from the well came out only after the first aquifer had been drilled. It's already a deep well. But such a deep water is still falling, which can't help but make Li Chen wonder!

But doubts are doubts, but he has no good way, after all, it is so deep underground!

In addition, not only his well, but also Geng Lan's sister-in-law, the water level of the well in the village has also dropped. However, the location of the well is claimed to be on the groundwater vein, which was specially surveyed by experts in the province before, and everyone knows it and is not particularly worried.

But the connection between the two things made Li Chen feel a little worried.

In fact, for some reason, the water in Tizhi Village has been on a downward trend for more than ten years, especially in recent years. This can be seen from the dry riverbed. Looking at the surrounding land and mountain farms that had to be abandoned because they couldn't be watered, who in the village was not distressed.

But water conservancy experts and corresponding technicians have found a lot of reasons, and they have said a lot of reasons, but no one has proposed even one real solution.

Now that the secretary mentioned the issue of water use, Li Chen wondered if he should also pay attention to this matter, after all, he would continue to engage in breeding in the future, and he could not do without water.

"Do you agree or not?"

Li Liwen saw that Li Chen seemed to be a little hesitant, and frowned.

Li Chen hurriedly said: "No problem, of course there is no problem, I completely agree." ”

"Agree with you!"

Li Liwen's expression was also relaxed, and the matter of water has also become a big and difficult problem in his mind, no, in order to ensure the project, he asked almost all the surrounding wells with wells, but more than half of those wells have dried up, and the rest of the water is not very much.

But the current difficulties have to be overcome by gritting their teeth, as long as the old cadres sanatorium is successfully completed, he can successfully use this as an excuse to apply to the town for one or two more machine wells.

"Chen, don't worry, the village will not use your family's water in vain, and will subsidize you accordingly."

Li Liwen specially added.

Li Chen listened but didn't say anything.
