The sky was bright, Wei Chengmo and Liu Shuya got up early, and Wei's mother was busy making breakfast for her daughter in front of the stove. Xiaoxiao, who was squatting on the ground and washing her face, was playing with the water in the basin, and when she saw Wei Chengmo get up, she shouted.

"Brother, why are you and your sister-in-law getting up so early? Do you want to send Xiaoxiao to school? ”

Wei Chengmo began to brush his teeth with a toothbrush jar, "Okay, I'll take your sister-in-law to climb Dongshan by the way." ”

As soon as Xiaoxiao heard that she was going to climb the mountain, her little face, which was still smiling, immediately pulled it down, "Hmph, my brother is eccentric, and I didn't play with Xiaoxiao all summer vacation." I've just started school, and you accompany your daughter-in-law to climb the mountain, and I won't pay attention to you anymore. ”

Wei Chengmo looked at Liu Shuya embarrassedly, only to see that her face was also red, and she squatted in front of Xiaoxiao with a toothbrush jar, "Does Xiaoxiao also want to climb the mountain?" ”

Wei Xiaoxiao still had water droplets on her face, and her little head nodded quickly, "I want to, but I'm going to school today, or you and your brother don't go climbing, okay, let's go together when I have a holiday on Saturday." ”

"Good! Then we'll go together on Saturday, and my sister-in-law will take Xiaoxiao to play at that time. ”

As soon as Wei Chengmo saw this posture, he knew that the matter of going to Dongshan in the morning must be in vain, so he could only wait for Saturday to go with his sister.

After Xiaoxiao finished breakfast, Liu Shuya sent her to school, Wei Chengmo swayed all the way, walking towards the newly planted alfalfa field, there were three tractors harvesting alfalfa in the green meadow, and three tractors were plowing further away, and the wide rotary tiller brought up a burst of dust.

Fifth Uncle Wei Zhankui was checking something in the field with a shovel, Wei Chengmo shouted at the top of his voice, "Fifth Uncle, are you digging for gold?" ”

Wei Zhankui took out a shovel of loess from the slender deep hole, wiped his sweat and asked, "Look, what is this?" ”

Wei Chengmo was a little inexplicable, "Loess! ”

"Serious ......"

Seeing the fifth uncle's serious expression, Wei Chengmo also straightened his mentality, reached out and grabbed a handful of soil and rubbed it, "Dry soil? How can it be all dry soil? This pit is also 1.5 meters deep, right? ”

Wei Zhankui nodded, "Since the beginning of June, it has been three consecutive months, and there has not been a drop of rain in the sky, I am afraid that our alfalfa will not be able to be planted, and the seeds will not germinate if they are planted. ”

Wei Chengmo's face sank, "Fifth Uncle, our alfalfa is mainly due to the developed root system, which can absorb groundwater to the greatest extent, but now that the ground is dry, the alfalfa will have to die if it doesn't die." ”

Wei Zhankui looked up at the cloudless sky, "If you can't do it, you have to dig a well quickly, and you can't wait until the alfalfa starts to wither before you start to think of a way." ”

Wei Chengmo looked at the dusty three rotary cultivators, "Fifth uncle, let's stop farming first, don't dare to plant anymore, all the tractors will go to mow the grass, and we will start digging wells today, we will dig deep wells." ”

"It would be a big expense to dig a deep well, and an ordinary well could only irrigate about 300 acres of land, so there would be more deep wells to be drilled."

Wei Chengmo frowned and said, "Repair the water tower, store the water in the water tower, support the sprinkler irrigation, buy two more sprinkler irrigation trucks, and add vehicle sprinkler irrigation, as long as there is a certain amount of moisture under the soil layer, with the developed root system of our alfalfa, we can definitely ensure their normal growth."

Besides, we don't grow vegetables, we need delicate irrigation. This grass is drought tolerant, a little watering is sufficient, and a well is pumped and watered day and night. ”

Wei Zhankui nodded, "Then the water tower will be taller, the water pressure will be higher, and we will use a car to irrigate from a distance." Sprinkle irrigation with a bracket nearby, as long as you water a little bit, the alfalfa will be fine. ”

Wei Zhankui was instructed, and his action was very fast, and a phone call called the well-drilling team from the township. The three tractors that planted alfalfa were replaced with lawn mowers, and the well-drilling team came.

As the sound of a truck's engine came, the car of the well drilling team stopped beside Wei Chengmo and Wei Zhankui.

A middle-aged man with a dark face jumped out of the car with a few workers, "Lao Wei, you are now the department leader of a large company, thank you for having a business and remembering me as an old brother, now there is no acquaintance to take care of the business, and my well-drilling team is about to break up." ”

Wei Zhankui nodded with a smile and introduced to Wei Chengmo, "Chengmo, this is a well-drilling team in the township, the boss Fan Tong, I am familiar with it, so I called over." ”

Wei Chengmo smiled and said, "Rice bucket, hello, I'm going to work hard for you, I don't know what the price is for you to dig a deep well?" ”

"Ah, you're Mr. Wei of the Rubik's Cube Company, right? You can call me Lao Fan, you don't need to call it a rice bucket, a deep well of about 100 meters, a diameter of half a meter, my price is 50,000 yuan for a well, if you install a pumping device and a water tower, a total of 100,000 yuan, of course, I will not charge money if I don't get out of the water. ”

Wei Chengmo saw that this person was happy, so he said to Wei Zhankui, "Fifth uncle, how about this price?" If you almost let him do it, but the construction must be safe. ”

"Lao Fan's people are more realistic, and they generally quote the reserve price, such a deep well, 50,000 yuan is relatively cheap."

Fan Tong asked, "What do you think?" Boss Wei, if I can, I'll start letting people do it now. ”

Wei Chengmo nodded, "Okay, Boss Fan, just like our geographical location, how much water can be produced in an hour?" ”

This Fan Tong is really an anxious person, seeing Wei Chengmo nodding, he immediately asked people to start unloading the equipment.

"Boss Wei, looking at the topography here, the shallow underground water is at least 30 meters deep, the deep water area is about 80 meters, and 90 meters is estimated to be a rock formation, so 100 meters can definitely produce a lot of water, and the water can be about 20 to 40 tons in an hour."

"Okay, then you can watch the well, you dig 4 wells in the 20,000 acres of pasture land, and build a relatively large water tower on the well."

Fan Tong was very happy, and said excitedly while directing people to work, "Okay, Boss Wei, just look at it, I will definitely build four wells that will satisfy you." ”

400,000 well drilling business. For Fan Tong, it is a big list, and he is used to making small troubles, so he does this very seriously. The whole terrain went back and forth three times, although it was not known how he looked at these geographical water veins. But snakes have snake paths, rats have rat paths, and these people have their own special methods, and they can always find groundwater.

There is no electricity here, and the well is drilled by a high-power diesel engine, and when the exhaust pipe begins to emit black smoke, Wei Chengmo leaves here, and the exhaust of the diesel engine really smells bad.

Drilling wells is only a temporary effect, and if we want to solve the problem of water resources in the long term, we need to think of other solutions.

At this time, Wei Chengmo, who was walking on the ridge, couldn't help but think of the dream he had in Xi'an, in which the Yalu Zambi River was turbulent, the water quality was clear, and a large amount of water resources flowed out of the Three Kingdoms.

"Perhaps, we need to investigate this fascinating place of snow and water, if we can really lead this water to the Loess Plateau, then this life will not be in vain." Wei Chengmo muttered to himself.

A dream, maybe it's just a dream, but Wei Chengmo always wants to verify it. Dreams, maybe they can come true?

If he doesn't give it a try, how can he be willing, he is looking forward to this trip.
