Chapter 014 Yuquan Camp, Gobi Desert

"Good son-in-law, you did a good job in the county, what are you doing in the Yuquan camp, where birds don't!" Li Laozhuan didn't understand that Wang Chong and Shui Hua were living a good life now, and they were going to participate in the migration of Jiaozhuang.

Especially after listening to Li Dayou's description of the place in Yuquan Camp, Li Laozhuan naturally did not have a good impression.

"Since the migration of Jiaozhuang has begun, it will not stop, now is just the beginning, our village has only seven families in the past, and after we have established a firm foothold in the past, the next time it will be seventeen households, twenty-seven households, maybe in the future we will relocate the entire Yongquan Village."

"Huh?"

"The whole village moved over? No way? Li Laozhuan said in surprise, his words were full of disbelief.

"I'm just talking casually, guessing!" Wang Chong didn't say much and explained casually.

Now the migration of Jiaozhuang has just begun, especially Li Dayou and they have just come back from the Yuquan camp, and the villagers cannot fully accept the matter of Jiaozhuang.

"Although the Yuquan camp is now the Gobi Desert, there is a state backing up to build infrastructure for us, and in the past, as long as we build houses and prepare the land, and wait for the water of the Yellow River to be poured in the future, we are afraid that we will not be able to grow anything in the ground at that time?"

"If you can really pour the Yellow River water, then do you want to go to any of them!" Li Laozhuan said: "Didn't they say it, the wind over there is all year round, the wind is 369, and the small wind is every day, and when the wind blows, it is a mouthful of sand!" ”

"And there's a sandstorm!"

Li Laozhuan said worriedly.

Although Li Laozhuan was a little unreliable, Wang Chong could hear that he was concerned about himself and the splash.

"My father-in-law, now I and Shui Hua will suffer more, and in the future, when we have children, children will not have to suffer so much, do you think this is the truth?"

"The truth is that this is the truth, so since you don't want your children to suffer with you, can you move to the county on your terms, why do you have to go to Jiaozhuang?" Li Laozhuan was very puzzled.

"Moving to the county?" Wang Chong shook his head: "Old man, do you think the county seat is more prosperous than Lanzhou?" ”

Li Laozhuan didn't think about it, and replied directly: "That must be Lanzhou!" ”

Lanzhou is the hub of transportation in the northwest, and the capital of the neighboring province is much more prosperous than a small Haiji County.

Wang Chongdao: "When I was a soldier, I was in the Lanzhou Military Region, I didn't stay in Lanzhou, and ran back to our Yongquan Village, is it just to go to Haiji County to live?" ”

"Then why did you come back?" Li Lao asked puzzled.

"I want to do what I can for our Yongquan Village!"

Li Laozhuan looked at Wang Chong, who was calm next to him, his eyes flashed slightly, and he lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking.

When I got home, Shui Hua was rolling noodles in the kitchen, and the mutton in the pot was almost stewed, and the dough was almost rolled out.

Sprinkle the dough the size of a pot lid with a thickness of about 2 millimeters, fold the rolled dough and cut it into thin strips with a long knife.

"I'll do it!"

"You go and watch the fire!"

The long knife was thick and heavy, and it required a lot of strength, so Wang Chong hurried over and snatched the job.

are all old husbands and wives, and Shui Hua didn't be polite to Wang Chong, and gave the knife to Wang Chong.

Wang Chong's knife work is better than a splash.

Holding the knife in both hands, everything is pushed, and the noodles cut out are unusually even.

"What's going on with the meeting?" Splash asked.

Wang Chongdao: "What else can I do, I don't want to go when I come back, my uncle and Uncle Shouting Water take the lead, let me re-register, I will report it, and the rest will be drawn from the families who ran back, and the lottery will pass again." ”

"If I knew this, then what are you running!" Splash shook her head.

"Whether it's a great achievement or clearing the wasteland and building a house, it's all a hard work, people, liking comfort is always better than hard work."

"With the help of the country, I have been suffering for a few years now, and my life will definitely get better and better in the future, how can I not understand such a simple truth?"

Splash sat on a small stool with an iron tong in his hand, and played with the coal in the stove twice.

In the middle of summer, the days are long and the nights are short, although it is nearly five o'clock, but the sky is still bright outside.

"You signed up?" Splash asked.

Wang Chong's movements did not pause at all, "Sign up!" ”

"I've also thought about it, I'll follow Uncle Shui and them over first, and then I'll take you over when the house is built over there! What do you think? ”

"I'll go with you!" Shui Hua shook his head and said with a firm face: "Husband and wife are one, how can you let yourself go to suffer alone." ”

"Besides, you go over, there is nothing, you have to work hard during the day, and you have to cook by yourself at night, if I follow along, I can give you a hand during the day, and I can help you cook and wash when the meal is ordered."

The long knife collided with the board, making a slight sound, Wang Chong was silent for a while, and then shook his head and said, "It's too bitter over there!" ”

"I live in a nest, I get up in the morning, half of my body is buried in the sand, and there are sandstorms from time to time, you wait for me to go over first, get the house right, or it won't be a long time, at most a month, and then you will come back!"

Shui Hua said: "I'm not afraid of hardship, I just want to stay with you!" ”

"I can't bear it!"

"When I marry you back, I will let you follow me to enjoy happiness, not let you follow me to endure hardships."

Shui Hua put down the iron tongs, walked to Wang Chong's side, and said with a firm face: "As long as I can be with you once, no kind of life will be bitter!" ”

Wang Chong's action of cutting the noodles paused, and the long knife and pestle were on the board, listening to the heartfelt words of the splash, how could there not be ripples in the middle of the heart lake.

But the more this is the case, the less likely it is for Wang Chong to let the splash follow now.

"Okay, you just listen to me about this, this is the summer harvest soon, you and I will go, the wheat in the field, is it difficult to let the old man collect it alone?"

"Don't worry, just your husband's ability, just build a house, where can it be difficult to get it!"

"Alas!" Splash sighed, shook his head helplessly, and walked to the stove, disgusted with the wooden lid, the water in the cauldron was already boiling and tumbling, making a sound.

"The water is boiling! Let's do it! ”

The noodles are cooked quickly, and after the noodles are cut into the pot, they are rolled three times, and they are cooked!

Boiled and taken out, through cold water, scoop a spoonful of shallots, chili and wolfberry stewed lamb ribs, sprinkle with salt flowers, the taste is a little heavier, pour a spoonful of oil and spicy seeds, and then no other seasonings, just rely on the delicious mutton soup, it is enough to turn the bland noodles into a rare delicacy.

Li Laozhuan held the sea bowl, his whole face was almost buried in the bowl, spoonful by spoonful of noodles, the sound of drinking noodle soup was almost not broken, and after a while, he put down the bowl, holding his slightly bulging belly, and hiccuped.

Rural people, eat a full meal, can last for three days.

Li Laozhuan almost didn't eat with his throat, holding his bulging belly, burping, holding his hands behind his back, and going out for a walk.

After eating, Splash helped Wang Chong pack up his things.

A change of clothes, a quilt, pots and pans, toothpaste, toothbrushes, towels, and most importantly, food!

That night, Shui Hua changed his shyness in the past, completely let go of his reserve, and accompanied Wang to fight mosquitoes all night.

The next morning, the seven families who went to Jiaozhuang gathered in the village department, and under the leadership of Ma Defu and Director Zhang, they went to the county to take a car, and it took most of the day to get to Yuquanying.

But there is still a long way to go to get to the place where the village is hanging this time.

"Uncle, slow down!" Wang Zhong and others pulled the cart that Director Zhang found, and the cart was filled with the luggage of each family.

"Why don't you get in the car and sit down for a while?"

"Who do you look down on, you smashed!" At first, the old man was quite happy, but as soon as he heard Wang Chong's words, he immediately changed his face: "I think that when Lao Tzu and your grandfather walked the Long March, your father didn't know where to go!" ”

"Still on the Long March? The people's Long March traveled 25,000 miles, and you walked 20 miles, and you were shot by Ma Jiajun's guns on the buttocks ditch and ran back to the village······"

Li Da next to him has a weird way of yin and yang.

He didn't want to come to Hangzhuang, at first he also instigated several households in Yongquan Village to run back to the village, but now he was driven by the old branch secretary to put ducks on the shelf, so he almost took a knife to his neck and forced him to come, he was in a good mood, then it was hell.

It's a pity that he didn't say a word about the weird words of yin and yang, and the cloth shoes that had been full of dirt flew towards him, hitting him in the brain.

The rest of the words were naturally held back.

"If you don't speak, no one will treat you as a dumb person!" The old branch secretary glared at him fiercely.

He had to send the shoes back to the old branch secretary.

Wang Chong smiled on his face, shook his head, and didn't continue to say anything.

Lao Tzu beat his son, it is a matter of course, Li Dayou is looking for a beating, and Wang Zhong can't stop him.

The people in the village have long been accustomed to this, and they all held back their laughter, happily watching Li Dayou look deflated, and in a group of people, they counted the horses shouting and laughing the most.

Li Dayou looked aggrieved, but he had no choice but to take the old branch secretary out of anger, but before he could scold him, the old branch secretary slapped the sole of his shoe on him again.

"Dad, what are you beating me again?" Li Dayou was speechless.

"You're the one who hit you!"

"What, you still want to rebel?" The old branch secretary stared at a pair of bull's eyes, Li Dayou was aggrieved like a little daughter-in-law, and didn't dare to say another word.

Talking and laughing, more than 20 miles of travel have also been completed.

Looking at the endless Gobi Desert in front of you, there is a little green in the sporadic places, which is the grass that grows vigorously among the early sand and gravel.

There are a lot of hanging dealers who are busy.

"Director Zhang, there's nothing here!" The old branch secretary suddenly understood why Li Dayou was encouraging the villagers to run back.

"The government has dug up the ground for everyone in advance, one by one, everyone first went to the ground nest to settle down, put all the things away, and then I will lead everyone to see the land allocated to everyone!"

Director Zhang greeted everyone with a smile on his face, Wang Chong, the old branch secretary and Ma Shoushui, who came over spontaneously, also responded happily, but Li Dayou and a few of them were forced to come, and their faces were a little ugly.

But Director Zhang doesn't care, anyway, people have already gotten it, and after a few years, when the house is built and the land is finished, these people who don't have a good face for him now will only be grateful to him, the government, and the country in the future.

They are all from Yongquan Village, and the nests assigned to them are naturally close to each other, and they can also take care of each other.

Ma shouted water to help distribute it, and Wang Zhong was divided between the old branch secretary's house and his family, and the rest of the families were also next to each other.

After settling down, Director Zhang led Wang Chong and them to see the homestead they had been allocated, and the more than ten acres of wasteland that had not yet been opened up.

"This piece of flat sand and gravel land, when you have finished the land and the irrigation canal built by the government has arrived, then the land will be poured with the water of the Yellow River, which is hundreds of miles in radius, and it is another piece of plugged into the south of the Yangtze River!" Director Zhang pointed to the smooth Gobi Desert in front of him and said longingly.

Wang nodded heavily, pulled Director Zhang aside, and said, "Director Zhang, I have something to consult you!" ”

"Just say what's going on!" Director Zhang said magnificently: "For you hanging dealers, we can help, if we can't help, we have to help!" ”

"Then I'll make it clear!" Wang Zhong pointed to the direction they came and said: "You said that if we want to build a brick kiln near where we got off, let the people who come here to hang the village work in the brick kiln and burn bricks, and the bricks burned can be sold to them at cost price.

As for repayment, you can sign a contract and set two deadlines, the first term, within the term, they only need to repay the principal, if it exceeds the term, it will be calculated according to the interest rate of the bank loan, and the second term is the time when they must guarantee the return of the principal plus interest, if it exceeds this time, we can discuss a solution. Do you think this will work? ”

"Open a brick kiln? Will you burn bricks? Director Zhang looked at Wang Chong with some surprise.

"Not only burn bricks, burn tiles to see the house, this baby is a good hand!" The old branch secretary stood up to support Wang Chong: "I said that your baby is thinking about coming over to hang the village, it turned out to be this idea." ”

The old branch secretary was both surprised and pleased: "Director Zhang, I think this baby's proposal is good, if you can let the villagers build the house first, I believe that the villagers don't need to shout, they will run over to hang the village one by one." ”

"Your baby has this idea, why didn't you say it earlier, why do you have to toss it so early!" Ma Shoushui patted Wang Chong's shoulder, although he said this, there was no complaint between his words.

Wang Chongdao: "Shouting Uncle Shui, how dare I pack tickets for this matter!" There are so many villagers who come to Jiaozhuang, every family has to build a house, if the thing is not done, I will let the words out first, how can I be a man in front of the villagers in the future! ”

"Comrade Wang Chong, you talk to me about it, what do you think?" Director Zhang asked with a solemn face.

Wang Zhong explained: "My idea was inspired by cash-for-work. ”

"Building a house, preparing the land, buying soil, these are all money, if you just rely on part-time work, you don't have to work hard for a few years, how can you raise so much money, I thought, if the government can help, we in the name of the collective, it is best to be led by the immigrants in Jiaozhuang Village, the government will give support, build a large brick kiln, burn bricks, burn tiles, I am willing to provide technology free of charge, teach the villagers to burn bricks and tiles!"

"If this thing is done, the villagers will have one more livelihood in the future, and in the future, when the house is built and the land is prepared, the villagers will have one more place to work when they are slack······

Looking at Wang Chong, who was talking eloquently, everyone nodded again and again, and Director Zhang was quite moved: "Comrade Wang Chong, are you really willing to provide technology for free?" ”

Wang Chong patted his chest and said, "Director Zhang, don't worry, I still have this awareness." ”

"So how do you want the government to help you?"

"First of all, the ground, then the water and the soil, if the water is concerned, the canal has not been repaired, you can drill the machine well first, and as for the soil ······"

"You have also seen that on this Gobi Desert, there are either stones or sand, there is no soil at all, just now we came all the way, I have seen it, near the place where we got off the car, next to a circle of dirt bags, and there are all the cars there, water and electricity are definitely not a problem! Coal must be used in the kiln! ”

"These are all things that need government support, as for the others, for a while, I haven't thought so thoroughly, we can discuss slowly together, and everyone brainstorms!"

Director Zhang nodded, and said with a solemn face: "I think Comrade Wang Chong's proposal is very good, if I can really help the villagers build the houses as soon as possible, it will definitely be helpful for our immigration work, but such a big matter, I can't decide alone, I need to report to the leaders above, everyone rest assured, I will do my best to fight for the above." ”

······

By the time I saw the ground, it was slowly starting to get dark.

In the nest of the earth, everyone can only burn corn stalks to cook.

The rice is very simple, too, and gnocchi soup, roasted artichoke.

As soon as Wang Chong finished eating and was washing the dishes, the voice of the old branch secretary came from outside, and Wang Chong hurriedly welcomed people in.

The old branch secretary's buttocks haven't been hot yet, and the horse shouting water has also come.

"Yo! Uncle, you're here too! Seeing the old branch secretary, Ma Shouting Water was not surprised at all.

"Sit!" The old branch secretary took the cigarette stick, the candle was on the side, and by the light of the candle, he lit the cigarette, took a puff, and took the lead in breaking the peace: "Chongwazi, you give me an account of what you said during the day, what do you think!" ”

The dim candlelight is very low, stretching the backs of the two of them for a long time, and there are mosquito coils burning next to them, the effect is good, and the buzzing of mosquitoes can hardly be heard in the nest.

Wang Chongdao: "Uncle, call Uncle Shui, didn't I already talk about it during the day!" ”

The old branch secretary said: "Then what if the leader doesn't agree and refuses to support?" What do you think? ”

Wang Zhong smiled and said: "That's not simple, if the government doesn't help, then we'll do it ourselves!" ”

"We opened a brick kiln, which is to generate revenue and send money to the local government, and they can still keep us out!"

"If Director Zhang can't do it, we will do it ourselves, I will pay for it, the big guy will contribute, I will still be the same, sell the bricks to the villagers at cost price, and let the villagers build the house first."
