Folk rumors naturally say that this rescued child has filial piety and sacrificed himself into the water in order to protect his grandfather's coffin, so there is a good reward. His father, the commune cadre, was punished for being greedy for life and afraid of death.

This plot is very much in line with people's simple thinking of karma, so this story has been widely circulated and talked about, and has become a necessary "teaching material" for parents to educate their children.

So much so that many people deify this story, especially after the international student returned to China to invest in Zhenkou City, the Southern Special Economic Zone, successfully invested in the establishment of a business, returned to his hometown, and built a magnificent mound for his grandfather, this story is more and more mysterious. Even he, who worked far away in Luhe Province, had listened to his mother's nagging.

This "filial" child is called Xun Zhonghai, and the father who is "greedy for life and afraid of death" is called Xun Youcai. Because of this story, Guo Zhuocheng has a very deep memory of the names of these two people.

"If you can find this Xun Youcai and ask if his father is dead, won't you be able to judge the time of the accident in the Pandian Reservoir?" Guo Zhuocheng thought secretly in his heart, and then asked himself, "Am I going to investigate now?" ”

After a while, he looked up at Xia Guorong and asked, "Is there a phone here?" ”

Xia Guorong replied: "This Shangao brigade does not have it, but our commune has it, and there is also it in the Pandian Reservoir. This Pandian Reservoir Management Committee is a county-level unit, and in addition to making phone calls, it can also send faxes and telegrams. They have a special telephone office, and it is from them that the calls of our brigade are received. It takes two transfers to reach our county. ”

Xia Guorong was obviously a little show-off, and told everything he knew, which can be said to be endless.

Thinking of the peaceful appearance of the dam just now, Guo Zhuocheng hesitated a little and continued to walk towards the Shangao brigade.

At the place close to the Shangao brigade, Guo Zhuocheng and his party finally arrived at Guo Zhiyan, secretary of the county party committee, and they were walking through the ridges of the rice fields.

There were six of them, Guo Zhuocheng's father and his correspondent, Hong Jie, who had recently been demoted to Shanhe Commune as deputy secretary, the brigade secretary of the Shangao Brigade, and two rightists of the "expert research group", one in his 30s and the other in his 40s, wearing a pair of glasses.

Not far away, there are also a few local farmers, who are far away, smoking cigarettes and talking about what it is.

When Guo Zhuocheng came over, Guo Zhiyan raised his head and asked, "Why did you get here?" How about the 617 factory? ”

Guo Shucheng smiled confidently, and did not rush to answer, but greeted the others.

Everyone recognized or guessed that Guo Zhuocheng was Guo Zhiyan's son, and they all greeted Guo Zhuocheng warmly, and Hong Jie, who was demoted, seemed to have no imbalance in his heart, and said with a smile: "Xiao Guo." Went down for the summer vacation to participate in rural research? ”

Guo Zhuocheng smiled and said, "I don't know how to investigate, I think this place is so beautiful, so I will follow my father down." ”

After that, Guo Zhuocheng and the three followed behind, and slowly walked forward with them. After walking the ridge, they climbed an earthen embankment.

The earthen embankment is neither wide nor high, and on its left is the surface of the reservoir and lake, and on its right is the rice seedlings that are being filled. Its role is to protect the rice paddies on the right and keep the water from the reservoir out.

However, its effect is not evident now: the rice field on the right is also white.

It may be because the water level of the reservoir is too high, and there is a lot of rain and waterlogging during this time, so the water in the rice fields is very deep, and many low-level rice fields have been completely submerged, and most of the rice fields have only three or four inches of seedling tips left on the water surface.

When the wind blows, the waves crush the swaying seedlings into the water, and it takes a long time to get back out. It makes people's hearts hang high, and they can't help but look up at the gloomy sky: "God, you must not rain." If you go down again, this seedling will really be finished. ”

The secretary of the brigade bent down to help up a bag of seedlings, and said very painfully: "Secretary Guo, this seedling is about to be filled into rice." If the county can help us drain the stagnant water, our brigade can hand over some of the grain to the state. It's also a contribution to the country. ”

Guo Zhiyan glanced at the seedlings in Hong Jie's hand and said, "Jiang Zhishu, I understand what you mean. But you should also be clear about the difficulties of the county. Shall we help you build the earthen embankment? This is called reasonable and unlawful. This area has long been designated as an inundation area, and this area is the water area, which should be managed by the reservoir management committee. By cordoning this place and draining it of water, we are undermining the policy of the higher authorities and creating contradictions between our county and the reservoir management committee. ”

Hong Jie sneered in his heart: Talking about mother-in-law and mother-in-law, it really doesn't look like being the secretary of the county party committee. Do you still need to persuade this? scolded and removed him, who would dare to say anything. If you make a mistake and illegally reclaim the land, do you let your superiors bear the blame?

Jiang Zhishu pretended to be embarrassed and said, "Secretary Guo, don't take it as an example." You also know that we are farmers, and when we see the barren land, we don't feel good. Who knew there would be so much rain this year? ”

Guo Zhiyan said: "What is not an example? You're gambling! Bet on not having such a heavy rain next year. What would you do if it rained this hard again next year? ”

Jiang Zhishu smiled wryly and continued: "Secretary Guo, I really didn't lie to you, the reservoir has been repaired for so many years, and only this year's water level is higher. The earthen embankment we are walking on was built five years ago, and the water level has never reached this position. The previous highest water level was at least half a meter lower than it is now. ”

The eye-wearing member of the research team -- that is, the rightist -- obviously couldn't see the seedlings being flooded, and couldn't help but persuade: "Secretary Guo, I have been investigating here for several days, and this year's rain is indeed the heaviest. I also went to the reservoir to inquire, and they said that this year's average water level exceeded the previous average water level by more than one meter. It has now exceeded the warning water level by 1.3 meters. Maybe after pumping this time, there will be no need to pump again next year, how much grain will be harvested in so many rice fields......"

Although Hong Jie despised Guo Zhiyan for being too tolerant of the cadres of the brigade, he wished that Guo Zhiyan would cause more trouble, and he was now the deputy secretary of Shanhe Commune, so he naturally said: "Yes, Secretary Guo." Who doesn't feel heartache to see such fertile farmland barren? Let's try it once, and quietly mobilize the masses to raise and strengthen the earthen embankment and drain the stagnant water. This is also a good thing for the benefit of farmers. I believe that if you do this well, everyone will be grateful to the county party committee. The people of the reservoir can't dig it up, right? ”

Guo Zhiyan couldn't help frowning when he saw everyone saying this.

At this time, Guo Zhuocheng said loudly in the back: "No! We can't do that! ”！ ~！
