"Brother Wang Chong! We're making such a fuss, nothing will happen, right? ”

On the way back, two villagers who were a little older and similar to Yang San asked a little worriedly.

Although they are older than the king, they are in respect of the king, and they still call the king brother.

"What can happen?" Before Wang Chong could speak, Yang Wu couldn't wait to answer: "We didn't do anything, and we didn't make trouble, what can happen." ”

Yang Wu also came to Hangzhuang from Yongquan Village, and was of the same clan as Yang San, but he was not a brother, and his age was only five years older than Wang.

"What section chief is it that makes people open the gate and release water, what does it have to do with us!"

"Really?" The two villagers, who were a little apprehensive and not very confident, still didn't dare to believe it, and looked at Wang Chong.

Wang Chong looked at Yang Wu with some surprise, "Fifth Brother Yang, when did you become so transparent." ”

"Hey, hey, hey!" Yang Wu rubbed the back of his head and smiled a little embarrassedly: "No, no." ”

Wang Chong also smiled, and said loudly to everyone: "Don't worry, big guys, what Yang Wu said makes sense, we didn't do anything, we just asked the people at the water station for an explanation, releasing water or something, it was all they knew that they were doing wrong, and in order to make up for their mistakes, they made a decision, and we didn't put a knife on their necks to force them to release water." ”

"Besides, the big guys have all paid the money, and they promised to give us water at the beginning, but when the spring irrigation is over, the big guys will pool the money to make up for him."

"That's right! We paid the money, and they promised to release the water today! ”

"Brother Wang Chong is right!"

"Brother Wang Chong, we all listen to you!"

"Alright, let's go back to water the ground first, this water is coming soon."

······

"Released the water! Released water! "Seeing the staff of the water station open the gate and release the water, the slightly turbid water of the Yellow River is surging along the irrigation ditch.

Yang San led the two villagers to run happily in the direction of their own fields, shouting loudly as they ran, and after a while, they caught up with Wang Chong and them.

The villagers rushed to their fields, looking at the elated and cheering villagers, and Wang Chong, who was riding on the bicycle, showed a smile on his face.

Seeing Wang Chong, Yang San couldn't wait to catch up, and asked while panting, "Wang Chong, what should Defu and Uncle Dayou do?" Do you want someone to inform them? ”

"I really want to inform them, third brother, Defu and Uncle Dayou have been gone for about ten minutes, so you go to the field first, water it, and I'll ride over to find them."

"Okay, brother listens to you!" Yang San grinned, a bright smile from the bottom of his heart.

Of course, Yang San wanted to go to the field, watching the Yellow River water poured into his own field, and watching his wheat drink the Yellow River water, so that he could rest assured.

The northwest has been a bitter cold land since ancient times, and the climate is very different from the warm and rainy south and the fertile Central Plains.

When winter turns to spring, the rain is delayed, and the spring drought is the spring drought, and the wheat planted before the winter last year needs a lot of water to grow, so people can only dig canals to divert water for irrigation.

If there is no spring irrigation, the wheat seedlings in the field that have passed the cold winter will definitely die.

Moreover, the adequacy of irrigation also has a great impact on the yield of wheat at the time of summer harvest.

Wang Zhong smiled and said, "Third brother, you should go quickly, the wheat in the field can be watered as soon as possible." ”

Wang Chong knew Yang San's eagerness, the wheat seedlings in the field, in the eyes of the croppers, were like their own dolls, they were the lifeblood of a large family, and they were very expensive.

Wang Chong has Professor Ling in his own farm, so Wang Chong doesn't have to rush over.

"Then I'll go first, you ride slowly!" If it weren't for Wang Chong here, Yang San would have rushed back a long time ago, and Yang San's mood at this moment was like the water of the Yellow River flowing all the way to Jintan Village along the irrigation canal, and he couldn't wait to fly to his field now.

Seeing Yang San rushing away, the smile on Wang Chong's face gradually disappeared, and he was a little emotional.

Although these villagers who came to Jiaozhuang together from Yongquan Village have their own small shortcomings and problems, their nature is not bad, and the villagers and neighbors are not stingy with each other.

Although life is a little harder, fortunately, there is still hope, there is enough to eat, and there is money to send the children to school.

But this is not enough, it is better to teach people to fish, now the villagers are just working with Wang Chong in the slack time, or burning kilns, or building houses, but just that, that is, to improve the living standards of the villagers, and now the group of young people who go to Putian to work have also begun to send money to their families, and the salary is higher than that of working with Wang Chong.

This is the difference in the economic level of the two places, and it is not something that Wang Chong alone can make up for in just a few years.

What Wang Chong really wants to do is not just let the villagers make money.

Although Professor Ling is best at the cultivation of Juncao and the cultivation of mushrooms with grass, this does not mean that Professor Ling is not good at planting and cultivating other things.

All kinds of shrubs and plants on the Gobi Desert can be used as pasture, and crops such as wolfberries and grapes can be planted, and more importantly, the premise is to continuously restore the ecology.

If a high-tech talent with such strong professional ability like Professor Ling is like the original book, let him put more time and effort into finding a market for Bisporus mushrooms and making the villagers not lose money, it will inevitably be too overkill, and he will be a little too overkill.

Wang Chong is now going to take advantage of the fact that Professor Ling and his team are still here, and as soon as possible, they will study the most suitable things for cultivation on the Gobi Desert that can make the villagers earn money.

As for the sales and sales of all kinds of farm products, this is not a problem at all for Wang Chong, who has accumulated experience in two copies.

Wang Chong rode for about ten minutes, and saw that there were still a few miles to go to the scene, and he saw a large group of people on the dirt road coming towards him in the distance.

This group of people is none other than Defu and Li Dayou, who went to the scene to explain the law.

"Wang Zhong? Why are you here? Aren't you at the water station? Could it be that something is wrong" Ma Defu pushed the bicycle and looked at Wang Zhong with a puzzled expression, between his eyebrows, and in his eyes, there was worry.

"Don't worry, nothing happened!"

Wang Chong didn't detour, and said straight to the point: "When I came, the water station had already supplied us with water!" ”

"Water supply?" Li Dayou was overjoyed at first, and then he was a little confused: "Why is it so fast?" Didn't we just come out of the scene? ”

The villagers were extremely surprised, but more than that, they were happy.

Ma Defu is still sober, they have just come from the scene meeting, and they have only walked a few miles, even if Wang Chong rides all the way over, it will take a while, even if the mayor's actions are fast, they are not so fast!

And from the water station to here, even if you ride a bicycle, it will take longer than they come out.

"What's going on?" Ma Defu asked puzzled.

Wang Zhong smiled and explained to everyone: "There is a section chief surnamed Lei at the water station, and I can't get used to seeing the stationmaster surnamed Chen fooling us, knowing that the wheat in our field is waiting for water to continue its life. ”

"Chief Lei?" Everyone looked at each other, not knowing who Wang Zhong was talking about.

"When I came, the water supply was already available, and the villagers we stayed there rushed back first, Uncle Dayou and Uncle Wuquat! Why don't you go back to the field and watch! ”

"Heavy baby, don't wait to fool your uncle!" Li Dayou was a little unconvinced.

Wu Squat also said with a look of disbelief: "Just those people at the water station, can they be so kind?" ”

"For no reason, what did I lie to you about! Whether the water is released or not, you will know when you go back and see! Yang San ran back a long time ago, of course, if you think I'm fooling you and don't believe it, then you can walk back slowly! ”

"Anyway, if the wheat seedlings in the field are to die! It's not mine's either! Wang Zhong said jokingly.

Looking at the smile on Wang Chong's face, Li Dayou and Wu Squat glanced at each other and said in unison.

"Yes, yes, yes! If you go back and see it, you'll know. ”

"Let's go, hurry back, hurry back!" The five squatters still had the heart to walk back slowly, and immediately tore off their legs, and the girl ran away.

At this moment, the villagers couldn't hold anything else in their minds, only the wheat in their own fields was left, and they all ran back behind the five squatters.

"Heavy baby, blessed, let's go first!" Li Dayou didn't forget to say hello to the two before he ran.

"Uncle Dayou, run slower, don't fall!" Wang Chong laughed and joked with Li Dayou.

Li Dayou didn't take care of Wang Zhong at all, and all he had in his mind was the wheat seedlings in his field, and he could still hear the words in his ears.

"What the hell is going on, we just finished talking to the big leaders in the city, why did a section chief Lei suddenly appear on the other side of the water station, and he was willing to supply water?" Seeing that more than a dozen villagers had run away, Defu asked Wang Zhong suspiciously.

Wang Chongdao: "It's nothing, we reasoned with the people at the water station, and told them that those who serve iron rice bowls, although they are immigrants from Jiaozhuang, they will not let anyone pinch and knead round dough, and the clay people still have three points of fire, not to mention our large group of rough men who are five big and three thick." ”

Ma Defu's face was not very good-looking, and he couldn't imagine it: "What did you tell people?" What's going on with that Section Chief Lei? ”

"I really didn't speak, just some unpleasant words!"

"As for this Chief Lei." Wang Chong sneered and said: "This section chief Lei is a rare good official, I can't get used to the stationmaster surnamed Chen abusing his power, acting as a blessing, making us people every day, and taking the initiative to let the staff of the water station open the gate to supply water, I think he means that, it seems that he is also planning to report the stationmaster surnamed Chen to the leaders above, and he doesn't do anything after receiving money, and he doesn't say good things, fooling the people and delaying spring irrigation." ”

Ma Defu was unexpected, his eyes widened, his pupils shrunk, and he looked at Wang Chong in shock, and his mind didn't turn a corner: "What do you mean by this?" ”

"Oh, yes! At that time, it is estimated that I will have to trouble you, the acting village secretary, to help! Wang Chong suddenly remembered something and added.

"Help? How can you ask me to help? Defu frowned, faintly feeling that something was wrong.

Wang Chongdao: "Of course, it's a real-name report letter, and the head of the Lei section has offended the stationmaster surnamed Chen and wants to help us supply water, so can we sit idly by?" Wait for that dog-day stationmaster to go back and trouble him? ”

"Report letter?" Defu shook his head again and again: "No, no, no, he is the stationmaster of the water station, what do we have to report the letter, if you offend others, what can we do if you don't supply us with water in the future." ”

"Don't give us water?" Wang Zhong said disdainfully: "He dares!" ”

Then he said lightly: "When the spring irrigation is over, I will write a report letter, all the villagers in Jintan Village, but all those over eighteen years old and at home, sign it, stamp their fingerprints, and hand over the letter, I don't believe it, no one can cure the one surnamed Chen." ”

"Wang Chong, don't be impulsive, since the water station has already supplied water, we don't need to make a big deal out of it!" Ma Defu stepped forward excitedly and grabbed Wang Chong's hand.

Wang Chong didn't struggle, let him hold on: "This is not called making a big fuss, this is called exercising our own rights." ”

"I'll ask you, how much effort and how much time did you and Director Zhang spend in order to mobilize the villagers to come here to hang the village, and I haven't seen you and Director Zhang rest for a few days all year round."

"Okay now, the project of immigrants is still in progress, there is such a thing, you say, if this matter is not handled well, how will you mobilize the villagers of Xihaigu to come here to hang the village in the future?"

"Even to water the ground, you have to be troubled, and you have to go to the big leader to find the big leader, let the big leader help solve the problem, those villagers who haven't come over, if they hear about it, do they dare to come to hang the village? Will they still believe what you say about the future of Jiangnan? ”

Ma Defu said anxiously: "This is just an example, I will report to the district chief when I go back, I promise that there will never be a second time for something like this time." ”

Wang Chong looked at Ma Defu, sighed, and shook his head: "Defu, you are a staff member of the office of the development zone, and you can talk to the leaders, but what about us ordinary people?" ”

"I know that you and Director Zhang, the leaders of the county, the staff of the development zone office, Director Wu of the Fujian Provincial Poverty Alleviation Group, and the county magistrate Chen Jinshan, you leaders are all dedicated to doing things for the people, and they all want the villagers to live a good life as soon as possible."

"But do you dare to say that this is the only one like the stationmaster surnamed Chen on this dog day?"

Faced with Wang Chong's question, Ma Defu really didn't know how to refute.

He had the heart to argue, but the reality deprived him of the confidence to argue.

Ma Defu even collapsed in Wang Chong's frank and upright eyes, lowered his head, and missed Wang Chong's gaze.

"I just want to tell those who like to play short, abuse their power, and let their personal preferences act recklessly, although we are just the most ordinary people, but we are not dough that can be kneaded by others, I also believe that such a personal scum is just a few black sheep, I believe even more that the state will deal with it impartially, give us a justice, and give us an answer."

Listening to Wang Chong's deafening words, Ma Defu was silent for a long time.

Wang Chong suddenly raised his hand and patted Ma Defu's shoulder, and felt it: "But Defu, we can't let one or two rat feces spoil this pot of porridge for the immigrants in Jiaozhuang!" ”

Hearing this, Ma Defu suddenly raised his eyes to look at Wang Chong, his mouth opened, but he didn't spit out half a word.

Seeing this, Wang Chong continued: "We must not only consider the benefits and disadvantages, but also weigh the priorities. ”

"As the old saying goes, the lesser of two evils, is one or two black sheep like this really that important compared to the future of thousands of poor families living in the ravines?"

"Tell me, if there is no on-site meeting this time, the big leaders are not there, if there is no section chief Lei who stepped forward, do you think you can talk about the stationmaster surnamed Chen who is a dog day?"

"The wheat seedlings in the villagers' fields are almost dry, let alone delaying for a day, you just delay for an extra hour, a minute, and you don't know how many wheat seedlings can no longer be saved.

If this rejuvenation is late, whose loss will the villagers have? Counting the water station? Count the stationmaster surnamed Chen? Or is it national? ”

"Okay, okay, don't talk about it!" Ma Defu finally couldn't be silent anymore, "I promise you!" ”

Wang Chong grinned and said: "Otherwise, you will write this report letter, and you will truthfully write the whole story of this incident into the letter, I am afraid that if I write it, I will bring some subjective intentions into it." ”

"As for the villagers, if you know that it is the stationmaster surnamed Chen, I believe everyone will be happy to sign and put their fingerprints on it."

Ma Defu: "·······"

Although it is a little unpleasant, Ma Defu also knows in his heart that what Wang Chong said is the truth.

On the other hand, the mayor of Qingtongxia City, who is quite favored by Ma Defu~ asked the director of the water conservancy bureau to solve this matter as soon as possible, and he must let the people's fields be watered in the fastest time.

The director of the water conservancy bureau grabbed the stationmaster Chen and reprimanded him, and then called the water station in front of the mayor.

After a few words, the director of the water conservancy bureau immediately changed color, deliberately raised his voice into the microphone, and said loudly: "Okay! You did a good job, you can make a decision on the spot, it's good, it's too late for me to praise you, why punish you! ”

"What's wrong?" The mayor frowned and looked at the director of the water conservancy bureau with a happy face.

A smile appeared on the face of the director of the water conservancy bureau: "Mayor, half an hour ago, Lei Henglei, the section chief of the Chengguan Yangshui Station, knew that the land in Jintan Village had not been watered until today, so he arranged manpower to open the gate and release water for Jintan Village as soon as possible!" Now the fields in Jintan Village should have been watered a long time ago. ”

"Section chief? Lei Heng? The mayor's frowning brows gradually relaxed, and he looked at the director of the water conservancy bureau with some surprise and said: "It seems that there are still people who understand in the Chengguan Yangshui Station." ”

"Humph!" Saying that, he snorted, and glanced at Stationmaster Chen, who had an ugly face next to him, with a slightly cold gaze.

"Unlike some comrades, who have a little power in their hands, they forget their roots!" The mayor was born in the difficult years and has served in many places in Ningxia, so he naturally understands how important spring irrigation is to the common people and the crops in the fields.

Especially now that we are in the spring dry season, the crops in the fields are waiting for water to continue their lives.

Seeing this, the director of the water conservancy bureau immediately said: "Although Jintan Village has been carved out of our Qingtongxia, but now the third-level water lifting station on the side of Yuquanying has not been repaired, and our water station has the responsibility and obligation to help the villagers of Jintan Village complete the irrigation." ”

"This matter is my negligence, I review!" The director of the water conservancy bureau has a very positive attitude.

"Director, Mayor, I'm ······" Stationmaster Chen just wanted to defend himself, but the words were all on his lips, but he didn't know how to explain.

Say you didn't mean to? Or is he just angry for a while, and he wants to let that group of mud-legged old mountain men know that they know that they are powerful?

No matter how you explain it, you can't hide it, before he received last year's winter irrigation, he promised to supply water to Jintan Village, but in fact, the water released was not even the instep of his feet.

"That's it! You don't need to explain, the facts are in front of me, I can see it, the mayor and the leaders and comrades present! The director of the water conservancy scolded angrily.

"Director, I ·······"

"What are you!" The director of the water conservancy bureau said angrily: "The state handed over the water lifting station to you to manage, and that's how you managed it?" Although Jintan Village is said to have been separated from our Qingtongxia, how can we say that Qingtongxia is also its maiden family, have you seen any family, after marrying their daughters, they no longer care about it? ”

"How does Chief Lei know how important spring irrigation is, and how does he know that people should open the gate and release water first to solve the urgent need of Jintan Village!"

“······”

All the people around who held the on-site meeting subconsciously distanced themselves from the stationmaster of the water station.

Before he knew it, he had become a loner.

In the evening, Ma Defu drafted a report letter overnight, first, for the smooth progress of the resettlement project, second, to appease the villagers in Jintan Village, and third, to support Wang Chong and the villagers who ordered the opening of the sluice gate and the release of water.

Although Defu guessed that this section chief Lei was not what Wang Chong said, it was because he couldn't get used to what Stationmaster Chen did, so he chose to let his subordinates open the gate and release the water, otherwise, why didn't this section chief Lei immediately let people open the gate and release water after Stationmaster Chen went to the on-site meeting, but did it after he took the villagers to the water station to ask for an explanation.

After the end of the spring irrigation, the whole village meeting was held again, more than 80 households, more than 400 people, although there were a few hesitants, but seeing that everyone chose to sign, they did not say anything, all over 18 years old, signed on the paper, pressed their handprints.

At the meeting, at Wang Chong's suggestion, the whole village once again collected 28,000 yuan, plus Wang Chong's 60,000 yuan, which Ma Defu took and went to the water station to pay.

As for the report letter, Ma Defu did not take it to Qingtongxia City, but went straight to the office of the development zone and handed the letter to the head of the development zone, Wang, his immediate boss.

One day two months later, Wang Chong received a phone call from the water station, and the voice of Lei Heng came from the phone.

"Stationmaster Chen has been transferred away and demoted, thanks to Comrade Wang's blessing, and now I have become the acting stationmaster of the water station."

"Then it should be called Stationmaster Lei now, congratulations," Wang Chong and Lei Heng said politely.

"Agent's, just agent's!" Although the words were humble, what came from the phone was Lei Heng's hearty and somewhat smug laughter.

"There is another thing, Comrade Wang's problem of high water supply costs for irrigation last winter and spring irrigation this year, I have already reflected with the above, and also connected with the leaders of your Yuquan Battalion, the above meaning is very clear, before the completion of the three-level water lifting station of your Yuquan Battalion, all the irrigation water in Jintan Village came from our Chengguan Water Lifting Station, but the first two water prices were set too high, and in the future, your farm, all the irrigation water, will be charged the same as other villagers in your Jintan Village."

"That's a good feeling! Then I'm here to thank Mr. Lei! Wang Chong also said with a smile.

"Serving the people is our job!" The tone alone could be heard with thunderous joy.

Immediately, Lei Heng's voice on the phone changed: "This matter is not small, I heard our director say, even the director of your Fujian Provincial Poverty Alleviation Group surnamed Wu has inquired, but the overcharged money can no longer be recovered."

On our side, after several meetings and repeated discussions, the bureau finally decided to give Comrade Wang's farm free water supply for this year's winter irrigation and next year's spring irrigation, even if it is compensation for the previous two high charges, I wonder what Comrade Wang thinks of this solution? ”

"I obey the organization's arrangement!" Wang Zhong said without hesitation.

"Then it's decided, if Comrade Wang is free one day, come to our water station, we will sign a contract, in black and white, Comrade Wang can rest assured!"

Yo ho! This old boy is quite good!

Wang Chong's eyes lit up, and the smile on his face was even worse: "Yes, I can see when Stationmaster Lei has time, I can do it at any time." ”

"In that case, let's do it tomorrow afternoon! It's all at 3 or 4 p.m.! ”

"Okay! It was three o'clock in the afternoon. ”

······

Wang Zhong put down his phone, the smile on his face gradually faded, walked back to Ling Yinong's side, and asked, "Professor, how is it?" ”

At this time, it was early summer, and Professor Ling, dressed in a single coat and wearing a straw hat on his head, stood in a sparse seedling field, carefully observing one plant at a time.

"It's growing well, and if it goes on at this rate, it won't have to be pruned frequently for another two years."

The seedlings planted last year have grown quite gratifying this year, and Professor Ling, an expert and his professional team, help take care of and guide the planting, and the condition of the wolfberry tree is very good.

For the first three or four years of planting goji berries, you need to prune them several times to make them grow into a perfect shape.

In the year of wolfberry planting, all branches were shortened, 4-5 well-developed buds were left on each branch, and the side branches and extended branches were thinned and truncated in the 2nd to 3rd year, so that the branches were thick, dense and uniform, and had good ventilation and light transmission.

It's a slow process that requires careful care.

The wolfberry trees in the farm are mainly distributed on the edge of the poplar forest on the west side of the farm, which is close to the windbreak and sand fixation, and a total of 20 acres are planted.

"Professor, you say that if we plant Juncao on the Gobi Desert outside, and after harvesting, we will mix it with other grass seeds and shrubs to make a large grassland, and then there will be a place to raise beach sheep?"

"The cost is too high, the cost is too high!" Professor Ling shook his head and said, "You can't eat fat in one breath, you still have to take it step by step, let's get your farm done first!" ”

Wang Chong smiled and said, "Yes! ”

"By the way, the size of your sheepfold can be expanded a little more!" Since the first year of Professor Ling's arrival, Wang Chong has raised dozens of ewes in the sheepfold, and the ewes give birth to lambs, and now there are more than 200 sheep.

They are all authentic beach sheep that grew up on the Gobi Desert.

"How much do you think it's appropriate?" Wang Zhong humbly asked.

"Don't make too much of it at once, let's increase it to 1,000 first!" Professor Ling thought for a moment and said.

Wang Chong's face showed joy, and he said happily: "Okay! I'll do it! ”
