Chapter 10 Versatility

Zhang Guangming thought: When will the crops be able to eat without relying on the sky? With mixed feelings, he turned around and walked into the courtyard of the brigade.

He thought again: This rain will finally allow the villagers to see the hope of harvesting their crops.

He, the "leader" of the village, was comforted in his heart.

Zhang Guangming saw Li Hongyun, a five-guarantee household, and his wife Han Fengzhi, who lived in the courtyard of the brigade, and the two elders were admiring the medicinal herb seedlings.

He hurriedly walked into the muddy courtyard of the brigade, and when he looked up, he saw the peonies, wormwood, and He Shou Wu...... The leaves that were yellowed before have turned green.

The old couple came to many fresh flowers and stopped to admire.

Zhang Guangming came to the old couple and jokingly said: "Look at their smiling faces full of spring, to repay you two hard-working gardeners!" ”

The old couple laughed happily when they heard this.

He crouched down and looked at the ground carefully, and then he smiled and said, "Well, after this rain, it will last at least seven or eight days!" ”

Li Hongyun asked curiously: "Eh, I wondered, a few days ago, how did you know that the cloudy sky would be sunny within three days?" How do you know that when the clouds are in the sky, you dare to conclude that there will be a sunny mile in five hours?

How did you know it was going to rain on a sunny day?

Now how do you see that it will be sunny for seven or eight days? ”

Zhang Guangming had a mysterious expression on his face, and he laughed.

Lao Li suddenly complimented him again: "Some people in our village say that you are a god and a man, and some people say that you are the reincarnation of Zhuge You!" ”

His wife Han Fengzhi also said: "Yes, yes, everyone says that the new branch secretary is really a strange person!" ”

He smiled and said, "Don't listen to those words, it's too exaggerated to say those words.

I've just loved watching the changes of the sun, moon and stars since I was a child, and I've accumulated experience for a long time.

Li Hongyun begged and said: "Then Uncle Li begs you, Zhang Zhishu will give me a leak point, how did you know the weather changes in advance?" ”

Han Fengzhi also said: "Tell us about it, my aunt also begs you." ”

Lao Li and his wife both looked at him with expectant eyes, hoping that he could solve the mystery in the couple's hearts at this time.

"Because I learned the proverb: the clouds on the edge of the halo roll the flowers, the sky and the water are in a hurry; It rains day and night, and the moon is windy at noon; The circle gradually becomes smaller, and the rain will come; Shuyun is affectionate and good, sunny and sunny.

This is the words of exploration summed up by meteorologists!

It's just that I have learned the laws of weather changes through years of observation and measurement, combined with proverbial knowledge, and applied them to farm management, not how great my skills are. ”

"Oh, Bright, you're so hard-working!" Li Hongyun said with admiration.

After the three of them chatted a few words, Zhang Guangming and the hard-working and kind-hearted Wubao family couple admired the various flowers planted in the compound in a variety of colors: there are golden, rose, and dark pink moon seasons, and white, pink, and orange azaleas. And also......

Everyone says that they are five-guarantee households, but it's not that they really don't have sons.

When he saw a poor couple, he remembered their past.

Li Hongyun's sons are a group!

So why are there only two old couples living in Makino Flower Village, thousands of miles away?

Here's the thing – they are from the mountainous areas of Guizhou, which is a very poor area.

That year, due to successive years of drought, there was no harvest.

His neighbor's children starved to death.

Li Hongyun's family also had no food to eat.

The couple was forced to have no choice, so they let the older children split up and go out to escape the famine and ask for food.

The couple took their youngest son out to beg on the streets.

Once, on the way, their family of three was tired of walking, so they rested in a ruined temple in the wilderness, and the youngest son Li Xiaguo was more naughty, and he took advantage of his father's lunch break to go out to chase the hare alone.

Taken away by a passing trafficker.

The two begged for food, and went to many places in the surrounding area to look for their son, but they could not find him.

So I lived a life of wind and rain all day long.

That day, the two of them fainted on the side of the road due to illness, but fortunately I found them in time and saved them.

The old couple had lived in Makino Flower Village for several years, and their son has not been heard from since he left.

Over the years, I, Zhang Guangming, together with the villagers, have been caring for this poor couple.

Li Hongyun pointed to a vegetable field and said to me with a smile: "Fortunately, the weather forecast of Guangming will let the villagers plant melons, fruits and vegetables, and they don't have to carry water to water when it rains, which saves more trouble."

I said that you are like Zhuge Liang, you have the talent to know the heavens and the earth!

Zhang Guangming waved his hand, laughed a few times and said, "When will Uncle Li learn to compliment people?" Are you comparing me to the master Zhuge Lao? Then I'm a thousand miles away! ”

Lao Li said very seriously: Where am I complimenting you?

Obviously you have this ability!

Zhang Guangming looked at Lao Li and his wife, and really felt worried for the two of them, the children of this couple don't know when they will be found.

Yesterday, it had just rained, and the villagers could not go to the fields to do farm work, and the villagers who had been working hard for days were finally able to rest at home.

Zhang Guangming couldn't stay idle, so he went to inspect the growth of crop seedlings after the rain.

When he saw the seedlings of the crops overnight, as if the Queen Mother was feeding the children who had just recovered from a serious illness with her milk, he saw them raising their heads and chests full of energy, "all of them looked green and fresh." He was relieved.

But on the way back to the village, Zhang Guangming happened to be very embarrassed - he was thinking about all the things in the village while walking, and he didn't pay attention to his feet, he suddenly stepped on pig manure with one foot and slipped and almost fell on a pile of dung soup.

Zhang Guangming, who was anxious, muttered in his heart: "Eh, you almost threw me in the mouth and ate." ”

After he stood firm, he couldn't help but raise his head to look, "Whose house's gate is this firewood, grass and pig manure piled up on the side of the road?" ”

When he saw that it was the pig dung heap in front of Captain Qin Dayu's house, it seemed that it was washed by the rain last night, and the dung flowed all over the ground, occupying most of the road.

There was also a large pile of poultry manure and other livestock manure nearby.

The smell of piles of dung, fishy, smelly, disgusting to death.

Zhang Guangming couldn't help but take a closer look at both sides of the road, "Yo, it's not just his family's dung heap outside the house." ”

He saw that the same was true of every house.

He just looked at the whole road, and his feet stepped on the sheep dung soup again.

He couldn't help but sigh to himself, "I'm really embarrassed all the way!" "He was worried about the way.

He walked to the office of the brigade and used a loudspeaker to inform the cadres of the village committee that they had come to convene an emergency brigade and hold an emergency meeting.

Zhang Guangming shouted twice in a row, and then sat quietly on the chair, thinking about the chaos in the village.

He secretly thought about the saying in his heart: "There is food and clothing, harmony and friendliness, lack of food and clothing, and chaos in the village." ”

So what can I do to ensure that the drought and flood of crops and the harvest are in the hands of the villagers?

How else to solve the problem of missing rooms?

If there is no money in the village, how can the model workers in the village be rewarded?

Everything needs money.

So how exactly do you make money?

He's the head of the village who has to plan and calculate.

Zhang Guangming thought about it in his heart for a while and then said, "There you have it, hehe! ”

He laughed to himself twice, and said in his heart: Could it be that I, the king of ideas, can't think of a good way to get out of poverty?

He pulled open the desk drawer and tried to find a pen from it to write a work plan.

However, there were no pens in it, but there was a box of small crayon tips of various colors.

He saw a roll of white paper in the drawer, so he took it out and laid it flat on the table, and began to draw the grand blueprint.

When he was done, he put the crayon head back in the drawer, and as soon as his hand left the paper, the paper rolled up.

At this time, he immediately called Secretary Li of the commune to ask him for instructions: In order to get me, the poorest village in the county, out of poverty, I want to lead the villagers to engage in side jobs, and I hope Secretary Li will approve it.

Secretary Li lowered his voice and said to Zhang Guangming on the phone: I can support you in secret, do you want to engage in a side business? Then you can lead the people of your village to do it secretly! You should know what I mean.

Then Secretary Li said, goodbye!

Zhang Guangming analyzed the profound meaning of the leader's words in his heart, which can be understood as Secretary Li agreeing with my plan to engage in a side business, but in the current situation, he does not dare to take such a big risk.

At this moment, I saw a cadre of the brigade, with his trouser legs rolled up and his feet covered with mud and water, into this small office one after another.

The new branch secretary hurriedly and warmly beckoned everyone to sit down for a meeting.

At the village cadre meeting, Zhang Guangming asked each village cadre to introduce the demands of the villagers and the current situation of the village.

Captain Gui Xiaobao spoke first, and he sighed and said: Hey, now the villagers need to eat and wear warm clothes first, but can we do it?

Take last year, as soon as the spring corn in the village was revealed, someone stole it, as well as peanuts, and sweet potatoes were stolen in real time.

Sun Youfu slapped the back of his right hand on the palm of his left hand, spread his hands, and said helplessly: "I'm out of tricks!" ”

Zhang Guangming sighed and said: "The beasts are poor, and the villagers are really hungry and steal everything." ”

In turn, he said forcefully, "But in order to make the crops harvest, we must resolutely prevent this phenomenon from happening again this year!"

I am really disturbed by the fact that the villagers are living in such a difficult situation.

At this time, the mood of the village cadres was very heavy.

Then Zhang Guangming analyzed it again and said: "Then we have to find the reason first."

I think the reason for the poor life of our villagers is that there is no economic support from the side business!

But what if you want to get a side hustle?

This problem is a thorny problem, we are a popliteal tree - the former shortage (lack of money). ”

The village cadres all said: "Yes, the difficulty in our village is the lack of money." ”

Zhang Guangming asked again: "Then how can you make money by doing a side business?" ”

They were speechless.

The new branch secretary immediately unfolded a picture that had been drawn.

He smiled and said, "Look at it, guys, here's the answer."

The members of the team immediately gathered around curiously to watch.

I saw that there was a courtyard with an earthen courtyard wall on the map, the courtyard wall was a mud wall, and the outside of the wall was full of lush gourds.

Rows of bamboo, rows of maple trees, rows of ginkgo trees, willow trees and wattle trees are painted in the courtyard.

Outside the woods is an earthen kiln, and inside the kiln there are people carving paintings on the left.

On the right, there are also weaving workers.

The compilers were also divided into several groups - bamboo finishing group, wattle finishing group, wicker finishing group, etc.

In the large lotus pond on the south side of the village, the water in the painting is divided into a grid by nets, and in each grid of water, there are aquatic animals and swimming birds, which are lifelike, and it looks as if they are really swimming in the water.

Everyone looked at this painting and was amazed.

They asked:

"Look at our new branch secretary and this good painting skill, this painting you painted is really good!

Do you want to hang it on the wall of your office? ”

"Bright, when did you learn to draw?"

"I didn't think you could paint?"

Zhang Guangming smiled mysteriously......
