When Zhou Jianming came back, while the two old men were eating, Jin An couldn't wait to say, "Grandpa, I want to tell you something." ”

"That's right, it takes an hour to walk from the township to Shanghe Village, but I took a look and said that if I can take the waterway and cross the Huilong River directly, it will take less than half an hour, and the distance can be shortened by more than half. Grandpa, do you think there is any way to solve the problem of travel for the villagers of Shanghe Village? ”

Zhou Jianming glanced at his little grandson unexpectedly, nodded with satisfaction, and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, I went to the countryside, I can see some problems, and I can also put myself in their shoes, which is very good." ”

The eldest grandson is a decent person, whether it is thinking or studying, he knows how to be motivated, and he has nothing to worry about.

The only thing I am worried about is my little grandson, afraid that he will go down the wrong path.

Therefore, as soon as the old mother said that she would let her little grandson go to live in the countryside for a few days, he agreed, and now it seems that the effect is really good.

He pondered for a moment, thought about the geographical location of Shanghe Village, and said: "There are only two villages on the other side of the Huilong River, Shanghe Village and Xiahe Village, and the water surface width of the Huilong River is sixty or seventy meters. ”

There are five villages and one street in Fengming Township, only two villages of Shanghe Village and Xiahe Village are on the east bank of the Huilong River, and the other three villages and one street are on the west bank of the Huilong River.

Xiao Qinghe hurriedly said: "Grandpa Zhou, if the bridge is not convenient to build for the time being, see if you can come forward in the township and buy a slightly larger boat to facilitate everyone to cross the river." ”

Zhou Jianming's eyes lit up: "Buy a boat?" ”

Although he didn't know how much it would cost to buy a boat, it was definitely much cheaper than building a bridge! Building a bridge, to say the least, is a matter of 100,000 yuan, and a boat is thousands of dollars up to the sky!

Why didn't he think of buying a boat before?

"Okay, I've made a note of this, and I'll have a meeting to discuss it later."

Although the price of a boat is not expensive, who will pay for it and how to pay for it are all particular.

Also, if the ship is bought, who owns it? Do boatmen want to give the establishment? How much does it cost to cross the river...... These are things that need to be studied before they can be decided.

"Also, grandfather, have we ever raised silkworms in Fengming Township before?"

Zhou Jianming looked at Xiao Qinghe and said, "What, Comrade Xiaolin is going to raise silkworms?" ”

Xiao Qinghe pursed his lips and smiled, and said: "I told Brother Jin Ping before that I wanted to contract a pond in the village for fish farming in two years, and Brother Jin Ping said that you can plant some mulberry trees by the pond to raise silkworms, silkworm sand can be fed to fish, and pond mud can be used to fertilize the land." ”

Jin An said: "Little Lotus also plans to grow grass and raise chickens, ponds and fish, ducks and geese in Chaishan. The eldest brother said, what is this called circular agriculture? ”

Jin Ping said: "Doesn't my grandfather want to develop the economy of Fengming Township? I think it's a way to go, and I can give it a try. ”

Xiao Qinghe said: "My family doesn't have so much money to contract ponds now, and I'm going to make a little fuss first, raise some chickens, ducks and geese to try, if Fengming Township can grow mulberry and raise silkworms, you can also raise a little bit, and learn some experience first." ”

Zhou Jianming said: "Fengming Township can raise silkworms, and many people used to raise silkworms, but unfortunately ......"

It's a pity that in that crazy era, some crazy and stupid people said that the silk woven by raising silkworms and spinning silk was supplied to the capitalists, landlords and other exploiting classes, and the working class and peasant brothers did not wear that, so all the mulberry trees around Fengming Township were cut down......

In retrospect, he felt heartache!

"Fengming Township can raise silkworms, this is certain, but now the mulberry trees and silkworm seeds in Fengming Township are basically gone...... In this way, you can go to the agricultural technology station in a while to find the stationmaster Li, who can help solve the problem of mulberry trees and silkworm seeds. ”

Zhou Jianming looked at his eldest grandson and said, "Stationmaster Li of the Agricultural Technology Station, you also know him, you go to him, he will arrange it." ”

After Zhou Jianming finished eating, he went to work at the township office and convened a meeting to discuss buying boats for Shanghe Village and Xiahe Village to solve the problem of travel.

Jin Ping took Jin An and Xiao Qinghe and walked to the agricultural technology station.

As soon as I went out, a girl ran over and said in surprise: "Brother Jin, you're back!" Do you go shopping? I'll go with you. ”

Xiao Qinghe looked at it, and it turned out to be the girl he met when he bought popsicles that day.

Jin An waved his hand: "I'm not going shopping, I'm going to the agricultural technology station to do business." ”

"I haven't seen Uncle Li for a long time, I'll go with you."

Jin An rolled his eyes: "Whatever you want." ”

The girl happily followed Jin An's side, she glanced at Xiao Qinghe, and asked, "Brother Jin, what is the name of this little sister?" Is it your relative? ”

Jin An said: "Her name is Xiao Qinghe, Little Lotus, and her name is Jiang Xiaojing." ”

Xiao Qinghe is too young, a six-year-old girl, although she looks very beautiful, but in the eyes of a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl, it is not threatening at all.

Jiang Xiaojing smiled and said, "Hello, Sister Lotus." Then he ignored her and talked straight to Jin An.

"Brother Jin, I asked Han Zuzu two days ago, saying that you went to the countryside to play. What's there to do in the countryside? There were no popsicles either, and neither were sodas. Brother Jin, you won't leave when you come back, right? ”

"Who says the countryside isn't fun? Let me tell you, the countryside is interesting! Any idea what I'm doing these days? Ha, I caught a little hedgehog, I caught a group of fish, I went to pick up mushrooms, and I caught such a long black snake! ”

Jin An gestured proudly, pretending to be forced in front of girls, this is probably the characteristic of all boys.

As soon as Jiang Xiaojing heard the "snake", she immediately shuddered: "Brother Jin, what are you doing catching snakes?" It's disgusting......"

"What's disgusting? Let me tell you, the smell of snakes is delicious! We stewed a dragon and phoenix Xuanwu soup with the black snake and the pheasant and the fish, and the taste was simply not placed! ”

"Brother Jin, do you still eat snakes?" Jiang Xiaojing heard this, and shivered even more.

Xiao Qinghe took two steps slower, fell behind, and walked with Jin Ping.

Jin Ping glanced down at her and saw that her face was as calm as water, but inexplicably, he just felt that she was unhappy.

Glancing at his younger brother, Jin Ping silently spit out the word "stupid".

Jin An and Jiang Xiaojing talked for a while, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, he looked left and right, didn't see Xiao Qinghe, he was shocked, turned back, and was relieved to see Xiao Qinghe quietly following behind.

He hurriedly took her hand and said, "Little Lotus, you are really scared to death of me, why don't you go next to me?" I thought you were lost. ”
