In order to make it convenient for Layue to sell ducks and fish, Wen Jin bought a donkey cart, plus Shi Xiaofeng sold tofu, and the two donkey carts were loaded with gifts on the second day of the new year, fish, duck, rice, noodles, oil, etc., Qian Xiancheng drove a car, Wen Han drove a car, and headed for Weijiawan.

The reeds planted by Wei Chenglan in the summer, one in the east and one in the west, are scattered on the river beach, facing Weijiawan, digging a pond, looking at only one zhang from a distance, and only seeing when I get closer, there are more than 20 acres, the size of two football fields.

Weijiawan is understaffed, and the pond is still very shallow, much higher than the river, and in the summer, when the river is at its largest, it cannot be filled with water. Wen Jin not only admired Wei Chenglan's determination and perseverance, but also lamented that his road to revitalization was difficult and tortuous.

The Wei family looked at the door early, and when they saw the donkey cart, several children ran forward: "Auntie——, brother-" screamed.

Wei Shi held Liangqing, Wen Jin held Liangxi, Wen Han's hand was placed on Lianggong's shoulder, and the casual small movements revealed the deep friendship accumulated by the two families.

Wei Chenglan and Ge Shi walked forward, smiling from the bottom of their hearts.

In the small courtyard of the Wei family, there were rattan combination baskets everywhere, and seeing Wen Jin and Wen Han's surprised eyes, Wei Chenglan said proudly: "There are many other people." ”

"Uncle, the exam is going to start in February, and after a hard winter, it will bear fruit." Wen Han said happily.

"Hmm!"

"Uncle, is someone from your village coming back from out of town? Why do I feel more lively than last year? Although I didn't see many people on the road, Wen Jin just felt that there was no sad and depressing feeling last year, and the whole village was filled with a sense of hope.

"Yes, a lot of people have come back, and after the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, we will continue to dig ponds and open waterways, hoping that when the river rises this summer, we will be able to store water, and we will also raise ducks and fish."

"But when the water level drops, the pond will dry up......," Wenhan worried.

"It's okay, when the water level drops in the fall, plug the waterways and the pond won't dry up."

"Uncle, when your pond is dug up, you have to find a way to get the cement to paste the bottom, otherwise, the water will seep down." Wen Jin reminded.

Wei Chenglan glanced at Wen Jin and smiled: "I've thought about this too, don't worry, the sand above is dug up, and the clay is below, which is not easy to seep water." ”

"That's good!" Wen Jin let out a long sigh, she just thought, it really can't work, just spend a little price, use lime and sand to prevent seepage.

Although Wei Chenglan's plan is very good, Wen Jin is not optimistic, in mid-February, they will start selling rattan baskets, the county test, the government test until the hospital test, and then there is Qiuqiu, the people in the village have to be busy with this and that, can they be busy? She dug a pond in the mountain nest, but it was only three feet deep, thirty or forty big men, busy for more than a month, the pond in Weijiawan had to be at least two feet deep, and she had to turn over the clay below and tamp the upper part of the pond. For each foot deeper, the manpower required doubled.

In the next time, Wen Jin was sullen, she roughly estimated the number of workers, as far as Weijiawan is concerned, not to mention the storage of water this summer, it will be dangerous next summer.

The pond was dug up one day earlier, and the people of Weijiawan benefited one day earlier, and this was not only a matter of a village in Weijiawan, but also involved the entire Jin River after the diversion, all the people in the old river basin, and now the number of people driving the mountain has increased significantly.

Are there any eggs left under the nest? No matter how smart Wen Jin is, no matter how hard she works, without a peaceful and tranquil social environment, everything is in vain.

But if the transformation of Weijiawan can be effective, the people of the entire river basin will see hope, who wants to leave their homes and be displaced? With role models, they will imitate, learn, and use their hard-working hands to create a rich and beautiful hometown.

Wei Chenglan saw the small pimple on Wen Jin's brow, and couldn't help muttering in her heart: "Little guy, you are too smart, you can even see that my pond is far from enough." ”

If he hadn't given the villagers a glimmer of hope, no one would have agreed to spend so much manpower digging the pond, and if it really dragged on for three years, he wouldn't have dared to guarantee that he would be able to do it.

After eating, Wei Chenglan accompanied her brother-in-law to drink tea, Wen Jin ran out as if she couldn't sit still, and came to the room where Wei and Ge were sitting.

Ge Shi saw Wen Jin's face of lawsuit, and when she was wronged and complained to her aunt, she made an excuse and went out with a few children.

"Second aunt, are you willing to take out the family's money and give it to the people of Weijiawan?"

Webster was taken aback, no matter how much she steamed buns, she would not agree to do so.

"Second aunt, it can be regarded as an uncle to borrow you, he has to hire someone to dig out the pond, there is no profit, and the uncle will suffer more and more. This year, a lot of people in Weijiawan have come back, just feel that there is hope, if they find that their uncle's calculations will take several years to be effective, there will be no exam next year, and they don't know how to get through, these people will leave again, what if the uncle is discouraged? ”

Wei Shi was surprised at first, and then her heart softened, and she took Wen Jin's hand: "You are really a good boy, you have only known your uncle for a year, so you think about him so much." ”

"Whoever is good to me, I will repay him twice, my uncle is a good person." It is impossible for Wen Jin to talk about society and stability to Webster, she is not yet thirteen years old, and she has not gone to much school, and the truth is too profound, which will cause Webster's surprise.

Wei Shi was even more moved, took Wen Jin's hand, didn't speak for a while, and finally, made up his mind: "I'll discuss it with your second uncle." ”

"Good!" Wen Jin knew that this was no problem, Qian Xiancheng had no concept of saving money in his mind.

Sure enough, Webster excused himself to go to see the pond, went out with Qian Xiancheng for a spin, and when he came back, he talked to his younger brother: "Xiaocheng, my sister pays for it, you hire someone to dig out the pond quickly, and the snow on the mountain in March will come down, maybe you will be able to store water, and you will be able to raise ducks and fish this year." ”

"Sister, how does this work?" Wei Chenglan was taken aback, "No, no!" ”

"Xiaocheng, you have income, won't it be okay to pay back your sister? Otherwise, Wen Jin also said that if she invested, five years later, you would give her half of your income. "Hahaha, this little one!" Wei Chenglan laughed, "Five years later, see how much income there is, if you can be worthy of you, I will share half of it." Wei Chenglan is an open-minded person and a confident person, he always believes that he will be able to build a pond and plant rice like Wen Jin, and be able to repay the debts he borrowed.
