9. Late-night visits

But he said that Qing and Chun were going to talk to the fullest, but when they saw someone walking in the direction of the path on the side of the door, they both put aside the conversation and went to eat. I didn't think that the man could do anything, but he turned into the small fork in the road directly from his door, and came to the door in an instant. The two of them glanced at it, but saw that it was Wang Fan.

"Yo, how late is it to eat? He extinguished his flashlight and walked through the door.

"What's wrong with you?!Have you eaten, let's come over together. Koharu hurriedly got up and greeted him.

"I've already eaten it, so hurry up. He took another step forward and glanced at the desktop: "Is the day quite moist!"

"It was good luck yesterday. Xiaochun explained: "Yesterday, the two of us stepped on a turtle on the bank of the pond at the entrance of the village, and today we slaughtered it. Look, it's fresh, so you can have two pieces too. He handed over the bamboo chopsticks in his hand.

Wang Fan hurriedly shook his hand: "No, no, no, how can you be so polite." So he went and pulled a small stool and sat down: "Look at the big guys who are busy day and night, so let's do it, I'm here to you, too, you can just eat and talk to us, okay?"

Xiaochun said: "One night, and it won't delay him, right, if you have something, you can say it first." ”

Wang Fan said: "There is also Qinglian, I am tired all day." Oh, if you don't eat, I'll have to wait. - You know that you may not be able to explain this sentence or two? ”

"Then I'll pour you a glass of water first. Before the sentence was finished, Qinglian Lisuo had already gotten up and left, and quickly poured a glass of water and gave it to Wang Fan.

Wang Fan took a sip of water and said: "I remember that in the area of earth and stone engineering, Brother Chun still paid more attention to research in the past, right?"

Xiaochun said: "Earth and stone engineering, why are you asking this now?"

"It's useful!" Wang Fan said: "Do you still remember the stone canal dug by advocating learning from Dazhai back then, the one that extends from Nandutou to the courtyard?"

"You can see it in the village courtyard, do you still need to remember it?" said after a while, "yes, it has long become a grass python barren hill, and perhaps some people have long forgotten its existence." But there is a waste ditch, what is the use of you mentioning it?" asked again.

Wang Fan said: "I'm thinking, with your shrewdness and knowledge, you should probably figure out the specific cause of why this trunk canal was finally abandoned, right?"

Xiaochun was silent for a moment: "Is it possible, is it possible that you are thinking about recycling waste, and you want it to play the role it should play, right?"

Wang Fan said: "Maybe I'm overthinking it." It is said that we are all authentic Xilongzhou people, and we can't understand the situation of the land here. Look at us here, more than 60% of it is sand leakage, and drought and flood are not guaranteed. Saying that we are always thinking about increasing production and increasing income, but if this kind of situation does not improve, we may be hopeless forever, don't you say?"

"So, so, you thought of that waste ditch?"

"That's why I'm coming to you. ”

"'Water is the lifeblood of agriculture. What you say is true. At this time, he finished eating early, only holding a pair of chopsticks for a long time and refusing to let go: "This is also the experience that our ancestors have summed up." And our predecessors are fully aware of this, so these water conservancy facilities are built here, and you also know that they were successfully connected to water at the beginning of their construction, so they have not been valued and fully utilized, and you should know some of the reasons for this. This is mainly due to the imbalance in the height of the plots we have here. And the plots of sand leaky land are generally higher, so when irrigating, the land that needs water cannot go up, and the places that are not very needed have already been flooded enough, so——"

After speaking, he looked at Wang Fan helplessly and did not move.

"Can't we come up with a solution to these problems?" he asked after a moment.

"The solution?' 'The water flows downward,' what else can be done—unless—" He realized.

"Unless?" he followed.

"There are two ways. He was silent for a moment and said, "First, it is to level the land, which is not an easy task, and second, let the water flow backwards-"

"Let the water flow backwards? How is this possible—oh, let me think, let me think, you must have carefully surveyed the terrain and found a solution, right?" he said.

"These are all immature ideas, and they have only been slowly pondered in recent years. As you know, we were all young when we built this canal, and even if we experienced many things, we wouldn't care. It was only later that I engaged in soil and rock planning surveying with them and began to explore these things. To be honest, I have already surveyed a while ago, and we only need to turn the main canal to the right and extend it for another 50 meters, so that we can bypass the depression and divert water to the north, so as to realize the wish of graded irrigation in the past and cover most of the farmland. It's just that I'm afraid that this thing can't be done well, and now it's in the busy farming season, even if you choose to do it, you have to make a long-term plan first, such as how to prepare materials every day and when to start construction. ”

He said a lot in one go, and it seems that he had planned it for a long time.

"Look at you, there's yours. Wang Fan couldn't help but be grateful, and was silent for a moment: "Actually, I don't think about this matter for a day or two, and I also know how complicated and difficult this matter is, so I came over tonight, and I didn't come to discuss it with you, to see if I can reach a consensus on some related issues, and I can give a good suggestion, so I naturally ask for this, but I didn't think that you had already planned these things, which is something that everyone should thank you for." In this way, I will invite everyone to gather together tomorrow evening, according to what you just said, we have arranged all kinds of things that should be done in advance, and it is also convenient to start and complete the project as soon as possible, in case of emergency. I'm going to tell you about it, if this phase of the plan can be realized, you are a great hero—"

He was visibly overjoyed for a moment.

Seeing Wang Fan's excited appearance, Xiaochun smiled and said: "I don't have a word about it, what credit is not credit." But even if this thing can really be done, I will please everyone first. If you hadn't recommended me to learn engineering from others, where would I have been able to understand this, let me thank you first, you trained me first, didn't you? ”

At this time, Qinglian had already packed up the dishes and chopsticks and went to the kitchen to wash them, and then came to clean up the chairs and stools, wiped the dining table, and answered the conversation in time on the side: "Look at you two, you didn't discuss the business properly, and you set up a situation here in vain, pushing and shoving, and I feel that I have really become a great hero." I think this thing is not as easy to do as you two think, you have to work hard, you should first think about the resistance and difficulties that may be in this, for example, to build a canal to occupy an area, it is necessary to use labor and funds, and now these are not just someone to say that can be counted, and there is a problem in this link, our whole plan may fall through, we should think about everything more. ”

"We're doing something big, aren't we?" she added.

Qinglian is also an authentic Xilongzhou girl, but in the past, she and Xiaochun and Wang Fan were all 'good buddies', and they were harmonious and talked about everything. And in ordinary times, there are casual best friends, and in extraordinary times, they may naturally appear 'unscrupulous'.

And since there has always been such a close friendship, Wang Fan can't understand the true meaning of what she said. She was reminding him by talking about the two of them: Let's do things and do great things, don't just focus on the favorable aspects, don't be wishful thinking, and don't act rashly and blindly, so as to cover the whole. And if you think about it, the meaning of her words should also include: You don't hesitate, you are indecisive, wait, wait, wait,

It's just that he thought so, but he said: "Look at you, it shouldn't be because I'm in the cold, we haven't talked a lot of nonsense in a trance, at most it's just a rush;

Before he said it, he threw a wry smile again: "It's not too early, let's go-" stood up and left.
