According to Xiao Liang, Lin Haiqing retired from the District Cultural Bureau in 2009 and returned to his hometown to live, and as soon as he returned to his hometown, he began to pay attention to the river in front of his home, which is called the Dingqiao River, which accompanied him to grow up. What can be done to make the river clean? He decided to change this situation, so he went door-to-door to do ideological work and persuade the villagers to protect the river. After persisting for a long time, the villagers were moved and began to restrain their behavior and cooperate with him to do a good job in river management. Zhang Heqing paid for the construction of a sewage treatment tank and a purification tank for the village, and concentrated domestic sewage into the sewage treatment tank, and then discharged it into the river after the purification tank was filtered. In May 2015, he suddenly fell ill and had his larynx removed due to surgery for laryngeal cancer. After the operation, he couldn't speak, he wore a cannula around his neck, and even so, he still insisted on patrolling the river every day, he carried a clipboard and a red armband every day, and insisted on patrolling the river, and for seven years, thunder and thunder, rain or shine. The villagers affectionately called him the 'Silent Water Smelter'. Over the years, this 'silent water smelter' has been continuing to 'speak' for water smelting, writing hundreds of water smelting opinions and solving many water smelting problems. He wrote a line on his clipboard: 'For the sake of future generations, I will continue to manage forever.' ’”

After listening to Zhang Heqing's deeds, Dongfang Jian said movingly: "It is precisely because of the persistence and protection of these people that our environment will not be polluted." ”

Leaving the Huanku Highway and turning into a village road, they drove in for another half an hour to Dingqiao Village, where they parked their cars. Dongfang Jian asked, "Do you know Lin Haiqing's home?" ”

Xiao Liang looked at his phone and said, "At this point in time, Lao Lin must be patrolling the river, let's go to the river to find him." ”

The Dingqiao River is not large, the narrowest channel is only more than ten meters wide, and the whole river runs through the village from top to bottom, and a small T-shaped bridge connects the villages.

Dongfang Jian pointed to the small bridge and asked, "This is probably the origin of the name of the village." ”

"I guess so."

They walked up to the small bridge, the bridge deck was very narrow, and the tall cars could not pass through, standing on the bridge, looking far away, the river was like a giant python, winding towards the Changhu Reservoir.

"I found the villages in the reservoir area to be beautiful." Dongfang Jian said.

"That is, if the water is clear, every village will be a paradise." Xiao Liang said proudly.

"It's coming soon, aren't we all here for this goal?"

"Look, that's Lao Lin." Xiao Liang pointed to an old man by the river upstream.

"Let's get over there." The two quickened their pace to follow.

Lin Haiqing was carrying garbage by the river, and Xiao Liang shouted: "Old Lin." ”

He looked back to see that it was Xiao Liang, opened his mouth and let out a babbling sound, and his face was full of smiles. Dongfang Jian looked closely, he was of medium height, with gray hair, thin cheeks, a sleeve around his neck, a pair of tongs in his right hand, and a plastic bag in his left hand.

Xiao Liang pointed to Dongfang Jian and said to him: "This is Comrade Dongfang Jian of the District Metallurgical Water Office, he has come to learn from you." ”

Lao Lin put down the tools in his hand and stepped forward to hold the hand of the Dongfang key vigorously to express his welcome.

Dongfang Jian explained his intention to Lao Lin, Lao Lin turned around and picked up a small writing board by the stream, and wrote, "Okay, I have all the information at home, go back and get it to you." ”

The three of them went back to Lao Lin's house together, Lao Lin's house is a small courtyard, walking into the courtyard door is a small road, there are more than ten pots of orchids in the yard, the leaves are green and dazzling, each pot grows three or four flowers of different sizes, there are buds that want to bloom, there are fragrant stamens that are spitting, the courtyard is full of fragrance, it seems that Lao Lin is a person who loves nature. He lived in a small two-story bungalow, with a brick and wood structure.

A little white dog rolled over like a snowball, and Lao Lin bent down to hold it in his arms.

"You're back." A kind aunt came out of the house and asked. Seeing the two of them, she said enthusiastically: "Yo, here are the guests, please take a seat." There were bamboo chairs under the eaves of the house, and the aunt beckoned them to sit down and immediately went back to the house to make tea for them.

Lao Lin put down his tools, changed his shoes, and went from the open-air staircase to the room on the second floor, and after a while he came down, holding a stack of materials in his hand and handing it to Dongfang Key.

Dongfang Jian took a look, the cover of the book "water smelting experience" four big characters, he couldn't wait to open the cover to see the content, which recorded in detail Lao Lin's water smelting physical examination and experience over the years, he said while reading: "Great." "In particular, the construction of sewage ponds and purification tanks provides practical value for the smelting of domestic sewage in mountain villages.

Due to time reasons, the materials could not be read through, Dongfang Jian asked: "Lao Lin, lend me this material, I will take it back to study it carefully, is it okay?" ”

Lin Haiqing nodded frequently, he wrote down these experiences for reference in various places, this is his wish, and the comrades of the District Metallurgical Water Office took a fancy to it, and he was naturally very happy.

"Lao Lin, it's not early, let's go back first, thank you for your valuable experience." Dongfang Jian said.

"It's getting late, so come back after dinner here." Aunt said.

"No, Auntie, thank you."

Dongfang Jian sent Xiao Liang back to Hutian Township, and he asked, "Xiao Liang, are you a local?" ”

"No, I'm from Ningjiang Town."

"Really? It's a coincidence, I have been working in Ningjiang Town for many years, and today I returned to the District Metallurgical Water Office. ”

"In this way, we're half a fellow countryman."

"Count, count." Dongfang Key said happily.

Back in the office, Director Yang asked, "How is it?" Oriental key, how is the harvest? ”

"The harvest is great, Lao Lin gave me all the treasures in the box."

"As long as you're satisfied, let's go, let's have a meal together."

"Director Yang, the meal is free, I have to rush back to the city." Dongfang Jian excused himself.

"It's rare for you to come here, how can you not entertain? When Director Lin met me, he said that I was a stingy ghost, and you just missed the meal when you went back at this time, besides, this place is not far from the city, and it is not too late to go back after eating. ”

"It's better to be free, thank you!" Dongfang Jian said that he came down to investigate to trouble others, how can there be any reason to ask others to entertain?

"Uh, Oriental Key, isn't this an outside? There are still many things that have not been reported to the leadership? We talked while eating, eating and working at the same time. ”

If you continue to shirk, it will be a bit unkind, and you will be scolded by others for putting on a stinky shelf and playing bureaucratic style, which is not a light crime, Dongfang Jian said: "Okay then." ”

"Xiao Liang, you call everyone up and get to know Dongfang Key." Director Yang said.

"Okay."

There are a total of four people from the Hutian Township Water Smelting Office, and everyone went to the "Hutian Wild Food" restaurant by the reservoir in two cars. Director Yang was very familiar with the shopkeeper, and he shouted: "Lao Tian, have a pot of wild fathead fish, and you can serve us other dishes." ”

"Dongfang Key, this is an authentic wild fathead fish in the lake, the meat is tender and delicious, you will never eat it in the city." Director Yang said.

The business of the restaurant is good, the whole hall is full of guests, Dongfang Jian asked: "He has such a good business here every day." ”

"Pretty much, most of them are guests from the city, and they come here to try something new."

A big pot of fathead fish was served, and Director Yang gave Dongfang Jian a piece of fish head meat and two spoonfuls of soup, and said, "Dongfang Jian, try it quickly." ”

"Thank you!" Dongfang Jian eats it, it is really delicious, there is no fishy smell and muddy smell, he doesn't like to eat river fish on weekdays, and there is inevitably a fishy smell.

"How?" Director Yang asked.

"It's really delicious, it's different from what I usually eat." Dongfang Jian said.

"It's delicious, you have to go back and publicize it more, come, eat it again."

"Okay." Dongfang Jian unceremoniously took another large piece of fish, plus a large spoonful of soup.

"After the company moved away, the township considered adapting measures to local conditions, vigorously developing farmhouses, and broadening the income-generating channels for the villagers.

"Is this boss willing to teach?"

"My buddy, he has to teach if he doesn't teach." Director Yang said mysteriously.

"Your idea is good, but you also have to control the scale, don't swarm the ground, there are too many visitors, it will still pollute the environment, this lesson has been taught everywhere."

"I know that it is absolutely necessary to achieve refinement, improve the entry threshold, and integrate eating, drinking and entertainment with environmental protection."

After the meal, Director Yang paid out of his own pocket to treat the guests, and he said with a smile: "Dongfang Jian, let's eat steadily now." ”

"Thank you for your kindness." Dongfang Jian said with a smile.
