Officer Li called out to Conan and Yin Xianren, and Officer Li said, "I don't think it's appropriate for us to go there today." ”

"Didn't you say okay?" Conan asked.

"The people on the hill are very busy right now. We went, afraid that the organization would not be close. It's been a long time since they've been together for a meeting. Now they are suddenly notified, they just received the notice and don't want to come. They are not like the people on our hillside, they live in a centralized place, they are easy to gather, and they all have common needs. They are not, they are doing their own thing, they all have their own hills, they have their own acres and threes of land, and it is difficult to carry out their work. Besides, they generally have an attitude that they don't care about themselves, and they have this cold attitude towards people and things. As far as I know, it's not easy. Officer Li said.

Yin Xianren pursed his mouth, but he still couldn't hold it back, and said, "How do you know if you don't go?" Let's take a look. ”

Director Li saw Yin Xianren's insistence, and Conan didn't let go and said that it was okay, so he had to say, "Okay, let's go and see it first." Let me first state that if the organization is not close and you run for nothing, you can't blame me. ”

This is obviously looking for a way out for yourself first. However, he does not have the support of Manager Wan of the county company behind him, and he does not have the courage to openly confront the people or institutions that bring him benefits, to put it mildly, he has to consider the interests and future of his son because of his son's good relationship in the county, at this point, he has great ambivalence, knowing that the organization is very good, but he must take into account Manager Wan's face.

Manager Wan didn't want the aid funds to go to the village, how good it was to stay in the company for his own use, although it was a little less, but a year's good cigarettes and good alcohol were still guaranteed. As for the special poverty alleviation funds that rely on certain channels, what can reach him is not complete, and there are still a few masters to serve above, and everything is not so smooth. All aspects must be taken care of, services must be delivered to the home, and they must be satisfied as much as possible.

At this point, Officer Li had to take Conan and Yin Xianren to the mountain, but he was unwilling and had to agree, because he still had to ask Ji Conan for them, as for Mr. Wan of the county branch, he was still not at ease, I was afraid that there were too many empty checks, it was difficult to cash, and he was in a stalemate.

There are not many water sources in the mountains, most of them are scattered, and the residents are scattered, if there are large water sources, there are almost none, but there are some small water sources. If it rains, there will be more water, but if there is a long drought, there will be no water, and you need to go to a distant place to fetch water.

First, there is no water source, and even if there is, it is very small, which cannot meet the drinking water needs of people and livestock; Second, it costs a lot of materials, especially water pipes, which require a lot of time. Because of the dispersion of the residences, there is a great distance between the farmers. There is no way to save on plumbing materials. Instead of being wasteful, it is better to build a small pool nearby, with less investment, and build your own pool, which is responsible, easier to construct, and more motivated.

The scope of the 5 groups in Hupo Village is larger, and Conan and they followed Officer Li to the place where the 5 groups are more concentrated, which is a gentle place with fertile soil and is very suitable for farming. Among them, there is a row of houses standing in the middle of the mountainside, very majestic, and Conan looks at the architectural style and the direction of the houses facing north and south, and knows that these families must have some origins. After so much time in the village, there is no place where the houses are built so perfectly.

After Officer Li took the liquor handed over by the man, he sat on the chair, and then talked to Conan while drinking. Of course, since Conan and Yoon Hyun-in didn't drink, the man made them tea.

Director Li said: "This family was originally a landlord within a radius of dozens of miles, and they were very rich. It's not for the rich to be benevolent, it's to help the poor often, and every year he sets up a cauldron to provide porridge to the victims of the nearby ten miles and eight townships, generally one bowl of porridge per person, two buns, and everyone remembers the good of his family. His family's long-term workers, also said that the owner is good, people here are honest, don't tell lies, good is good, if you say a lie, you will be looked down upon, besides, good things don't go out, bad things spread thousands of miles, his family's long-term workers are not exploited, are voluntary, long-term workers generally do not go, there is really no way, just go, as soon as you go, there will be new long-term workers to add in, there is no shortage of manpower, there is a shortage of people to come, his family is famous, very attractive, in his family, can be treated fairly, and he is willing to work. That's it, there are also lazy people who do it, saying that their family is not good. This can't be helped, just like now, I am dedicated to the welfare of the villagers, I want to get the tap water through, and some people say that I am corrupt, and I also write letters to complain, complain and report everything, I am a small villager, what are I afraid of? Even the leaders of the village are not afraid of their complaints and reports. There is scum at all times, and it is impossible to be clean. That's a big deal. Then again, when Japan was fighting China, they donated money to buy weapons and medicines to support the front line. Some also went to the front to participate in the war. After Japan's surrender, it was another war of liberation. After seeing if it didn't work, I decided to go to Pingtung County. Before leaving, time was tight, and it was too late to drag the family, so the mother and son stayed in the village. Then, when I encountered some movements, saying that they were not good, they took the house and owned it by the small production team, and several of them were renovated. It was not until later that he was rehabilitated and made meritorious contributions to the anti-Japanese resistance that the house was returned. The team took over the house, first as a mill, then as an oil mill, and finally as a storage place for the team's agricultural machinery and a rice mill, making the house unseemly. Fortunately, this family knows how to run a family very well, and has survived three years of disasters and all kinds of difficulties, and now they have finally come out and become the leader of the village to get rich. ”

The descendants of the landlords, like the green pines on the mountains, do not die easily. With green mountains, there is firewood to cut, which is inexhaustible and inexhaustible. Of course, both landlords and peasants have their own choices. Identities can all be transformed into each other. Farmers are industrious and thrifty, and after hard work, they can be promoted to landlords; If the landlord is lazy and sits on the mountain, sooner or later he will lose his family and become a landless peasant. There will be no seeds, and it will come to my house next year. This cannot be said to be a doomed fate, and it will change at any time.

His house is tall, warm in winter and cool in summer, the ground is clean, there is not a single piece of garbage, and the things in the house are well organized, and it looks very orderly and pleasing to the eye. The man is hospitable, but he doesn't know how to express his complicated feelings.

It seems that the male owner is a little restrained and cautious, and he does not have the roughness and heroism of the farmer at all, but is cautious, for fear of saying the wrong word and neglecting a small detail.

He said: "My grandfather is not as rich as Director Li said, and within ten miles of the neighborhood, it is okay; Ten miles out, it's nothing. There are also some big landowners, who are much richer than my grandfather. My grandfather's grandfather, that is, my ancestors were poor peasants, who worked long hours for rich people, slowly saved money, studied, took exams, and were admitted to show talents, and then had a good life for my grandfather. Zu Xun didn't dare to forget, that is, to be diligent and thrifty, to maintain neutrality, and to farm and study. ”

"What about your children?" Conan asked.

"Working in the field. I participated in the first college entrance examination after the resumption of the college entrance examination system, but I didn't expect that the homework delayed by the boss was not forgotten, and I quickly remembered it when I picked it up, and I was admitted as soon as I took the exam. The second child also competed and was also admitted. I didn't have to worry about my child's reading. This is because of the blessing of the ancestors' spirits in heaven, so that everything in my family is going smoothly and getting better and better. I hope that the ancestors will continue to bless, the road ahead is still long, without the blessing of the ancestors, without our efforts, we may become backward homes and backward people. He said.

Conan thought to himself, this is a good family education, the child's genetics are good, and in a difficult environment, as long as his own quality is excellent, he will be able to live a different life. Their ancestors are not officials and do not participate in politics, but in fact, both children are studying engineering and medicine, and if they remain neutral, it has nothing to do with it.

From his family's governance and his personality, it can be seen that he is now living a happy life. If the family can be cured, then the village can be cured. He has the ability to govern the family, and he has the ability to govern the village. That's what Conan thought.

At this time, a woman came in from outside, dressed very clean and fresh, not like ordinary rural women. The hair is neatly combed, the oil is shiny, the face is clean, the dress is simple and generous, and it looks very exquisite, but the style of the clothes is average, just clean up, and it looks pleasing to the eye. He has a smile on his face when he sees people, and he looks very kind and approachable, without putting on any show.

"This is my woman." He introduced.

"Welcome to my house. I'm working on the slope and didn't greet distinguished guests, I'm sorry! She said.

Conan thought to himself, this woman is not ordinary. Listening to her speak like a spring breeze, I don't feel harsh, because she doesn't speak loudly, like driving cattle in a cattle herd, her voice is like whispering in a study or boudoir.

"Brother and daughter-in-law, these two are gentlemen from the Mars Charity Foundation in Jianghai District, who came to our village to help get running water." Officer Li said.

"Every time it is the turn of Secretary Li to do good things, today the sun came out in the west, and he actually brought good things to our mountain. Thank you, Mr. Li! You are truly our great benefactor. She said quickly.

"Mistaken, I'm not a benefactor, don't show the wrong feelings, admit the wrong person, you know, the benefactor is the two of them. We'd like to hold a symposium and ask for your opinions. See what you think about making tap water. Originally, I wanted to let the leader of the 5th group notify, but when I looked at it, I still felt that my brother and daughter-in-law were suitable. Then I'll bother you to let me know. Officer Li said.

"How's that going to work? I have no money, I have no power, I have nothing, just carry a mouth on my shoulder, make people laugh everywhere, and be scolded? She said.

"It's not for you to collect money, and it's not for you to catch women, like castration for piglets, this is a good thing, you tell everyone, everyone is happy, it's too late to thank you, and you can still scold you?! Go ahead, we'll wait at your house. If we don't tell them to come, we won't leave. Officer Li said.

"Okay, okay. I'll give it a try, and if it doesn't work, I won't care. She said.

"Go ahead, you can't go wrong with safekeeping. Secretary Li is not bad to us, and he chose to hold a meeting at our house to prove that he can afford us. He said.

After hearing this, she was also very happy, wearing white-washed liberation shoes, and trotted all the way to notify the representatives of the farmers in the upper half of the five groups to come to the meeting.

After about half an hour, people came, some were feeding the pigs, some were mowing the grass, some were working on the slopes, and everyone was not very cleanly dressed. I don't know, the descendants of the landlord also do farm work, but their heads, feet and homes are spotless and clean. It's weird!

Officer Li chose to hold a meeting at this house, probably thinking the same way, Conan and Yin Xianren came to the mountain for the first time. Generally speaking, people in the mountains and in places with inconvenient transportation are slightly worse in all aspects, especially in hygiene, and many habits are looked down upon by people who live on flat land.

Especially in the area of sanitation and hygiene, it is even more difficult to compliment. Because of the lack of water, bathing is a problem, people take a bath less often, there is naturally a peculiar smell, you can smell it from afar, and the home environment and road environment always look dirty, and you will invisibly live on the flat ground to open the distance.

Behind the house of the descendants of the landlord, there was a water source, which was never dried. This may have something to do with the fact that their ancestors chose to settle down here. Where there is water, there are people; Where there is plenty of water, there is a large population.

Man can't live without water any more than he can do without air.

The descendants of the landlords, even in winter, bathed and changed their clothes frequently, and the house was cleaned inside and out. Even the concrete floor was mopped so that people could see it.

Director Li saw that the people who came were almost there, and said, "It's quiet, the people are almost here, let's wait while we have a meeting." If you didn't come, you didn't listen to everything, please go back and convey the spirit of the meeting. ”

Then, Secretary Li told everyone about Conan and Yoon Hyun-in's plans, and asked everyone to decide whether they wanted to do this project.

Everyone said in unison, "Yes!" ”

Yin Xianren stood up excitedly, and he said, "Everyone is willing to do it, it's good!" So, I would like to ask, if it costs 500 yuan to make a pool, and we pay half of it, are you willing to pay the other half? ”

"Yes!" Everyone said.

Again, this time in unison.

Unexpectedly, the enthusiasm of the masses on the mountain is much stronger than that of the people living in the lower places, and there is no problem in starting this project of dispersing household pools on the mountain.

Because it is a pool of scattered households, almost every household has one mouth, and it manages itself, and there is no election and establishment of a management committee.

Even if it is to be established, it must not choose a two-faced person like Jia Mingzhu, who is capricious and disobedient, does not respect the foundation enough, and is still afraid of Director Li and cannot play the role of the director of the management committee. In fact, Director Li is still worried, but in name, Director Li is only the deputy director of the management committee. The deputy director is really in charge of a lot of things, and there are even some suspicions of Jia Mingzhu, director of the overhead management committee. That's actually it.
