Where was the stationmaster Chen transferred, what he went to do, how many levels he was demoted, and what kind of punishment he received, Wang Chong had no intention of continuing to pay attention.

As far as Wang Chong is concerned, this surnamed Chen is just a passer-by in the ups and downs of the sea, and it doesn't matter at all.

However, after Wang Chong's toss, this matter is completely big, and even the Fujian Provincial Poverty Alleviation Group has listed this matter as one of the matters to focus on.

Just after the construction of Minning Village, after all, things like this are likely to affect the continuous work of resettlement in the future.

As far as the Fujian Provincial Poverty Alleviation Group is concerned, the target of 8,000 people can only be more, not less.

This is the explanation of the Fujian Provincial Poverty Alleviation Group to Xihaigu, to the Yuquanying Economic Development Zone, and to the ordinary people living in the poor mountainous areas.

The problem of irrigation has been temporarily solved, not only that, but after such a toss, the district, county and the above have also begun to pay attention to the three-level water lifting project of the Yuquanying Water Lifting Station.

In fact, Wang Chong's purpose is exactly this, if it is really like the original book, dragged to Minning Village and turned into Minning Town, the three-level water lifting project of the Yuquan Battalion is still in the stage of talking on paper, and I don't know what to repair after more than ten years, and the funds allocated to build the water lifting station have long been misappropriated.

Although after coordination between the two sides, considering that the people of Jintan Village are immigrants, have limited income, and have no economic foundation, the water price has been lowered to a certain extent, but the price is still much more expensive than the normal water in the irrigation area.

Not only that, but even the various infrastructure construction in Minning Town in the later period was a mess without the financial support of Fujian Province.

I don't know how many engineering teams who have worked like Debao but can't get paid, and have been repeatedly in arrears.

Wang Chong didn't want to repeat those mistakes, the construction of various infrastructure in Minning Village, with the financial support of Fujian Province, and the staff of the poverty alleviation group staring here, Wang Chong dared to bid.

After the Fujian Provincial Poverty Alleviation Group has withdrawn its three-year counterpart assistance, it will be a different matter.

Now the construction company and the brick kiln factory, but Wang Chong's current source of funds is the second, and the construction company has already digested most of the orders of the brick kiln factory.

Whether it is a construction company or a brick kiln factory, now they are mainly making money on the construction of Minning Village, especially after the leaders of the poverty alleviation group know that Wang Chong used nearly half of the income of the brick kiln factory to set up the study fund, they directly said that all the bricks used in the construction of Minning Village are given priority to the bricks of Wang's brick kiln.

Hospitals, schools, banks, post offices, and all sorts of other supporting buildings, as well as all sorts of other infrastructure, are a lot of business just for bricks.

Moreover, there are also new immigrants who have come to build houses, although it is not profitable, but it is not a loss, and it can maintain the normal operation and expenses of the brick kiln, as long as the big guys have jobs to open and money to earn, it is profitable.

Li Dayou and them, after busy with spring irrigation, immediately returned to the kiln factory and devoted themselves to the intense production work, the yard of the kiln factory is stacked with red bricks like a hill.

Wang Zhong is willing to spend the cost, the purchase of trucks, forklifts and mechanical booms and other mechanical tools, although the cost of investment is not low, but also greatly improve the efficiency of the brick kiln factory, if not, Wang Chong's kiln factory, really can not eat so many orders in Minning Village.

Moreover, after the introduction of machinery and equipment, the workers of the kiln factory are no longer just selling coolies, many smart and clever, and flexible hands and feet have been transformed into mechanical operators, not only the work is not as tiring as before, but even the salary is not low.

Looking at the thriving kiln factory, the old branch secretary felt more and more gratified, if this person is happy, the mood is good, the mood is good, the whole body is comfortable, this body and bones, and it is also healthy, no illness or disaster.

"Grandpa! Grandfather! "Ping An and Ping Shun like the old branch secretary very much, and the old branch secretary also treats them as his great-grandson, and he likes it, and after he has Ping An and Ping Shun, the old branch secretary has developed the habit of preparing peach crisp and white rabbit toffee at home.

Not for anything else, just for the sake of the two little great-grandchildren.

Seeing the two dolls running around in front of him, the old branch secretary was happy from the bottom of his heart.

Especially the old branch secretary has always treated Wang Zhong as a grandson, safe and smooth, in his eyes, there is no difference between him and his own great-grandson.

"Hey, you're young!"

"My little ancestor! Slow down, run slow! Seeing the two little guys running towards him with their little short legs, the old branch secretary immediately frowned and became nervously worried, and hurriedly walked forward, holding the smooth running in front.

"My little ancestor, what are you doing so fast!" Although the old man is old, his body is still quite strong, and he is taken care of by the king, so he didn't let his old man be like the original, and his body was exhausted in order to plant trees, and he fell on the hospital bed.

"Grandpa, eat meat!" The little guy was carrying a red plastic bag with an oiled paper bag in it.

"What's that?" The old man bowed down and took the plastic bag, opened the bag and sniffed it while asking, and then his eyes lit up and blurted out: "Sauce beef?" ”

"Pingshun is so stupid, it's grandpa, not grandpa!" Ping'an's development is not so exaggerated as Pingshun's, his legs are also short, and his speed is naturally not as good as Pingshun, but this kid is not very old, but he is clever like a monkey, don't look at Pingshun's height is half a higher than him, but when the two little guys play together on weekdays, they are mainly safe.

"Hello grandpa!" As he spoke, he smiled very obediently and greeted the old branch secretary.

"Grandpa!" Pingshun also changed his words.

"Good, good!" Looking at the two little guys, the old branch secretary's heart was as if he had eaten honey, and his face was full of happiness.

"Why did my good grandson come to see grandpa?"

"Mom made sauce beef! Let's take it to grandpa! "Although Ping An is not very old, he is unexpectedly precocious and has a very sharp mouth.

As he spoke, he pretended to raise his hand quietly and put his hand back in front of his mouth, making a sound reinforcement shielding form, "Grandpa, my father is still drunk!" ”

"Really!" The old branch secretary was very happy, raised his hand and rubbed Ping'an's little head melon seeds.

"Grandpa is so powerful, his nose is really smart, the same as rhubarb and erhuang!" Ping'an suddenly said this, and he didn't forget to raise the bag in his hand, and said as if offering a treasure: "Grandpa, I still have it here!" ”

The old branch secretary was stunned by what this kid said, and the smile on his face froze, Rhubarb and Erhuang are the two earth dogs raised by Li Laozhuo, and they are also one of the few two dogs in the village.

Is the dog's nose definitely sensitive, but if Wang Chong's family stewed meat, the rhubarb and erhuang in Ping'an's mouth squatted at the door like two door gods, and this is not a secret in Jintan Village for a long time.

But in this situation, the big guys are busy running around to fill their stomachs, and who is still like Wang Chong's family, with those surplus grains to raise dogs.

"Stinky boy, how do you talk!"

Wang Chong slapped Ping'an on the head, but he didn't use any force, just pushed it gently.

The old branch secretary was unhappy when he saw it, so he pushed Wang Chong's hand away and glared at Wang Chong: "What are you doing!" Don't break my little grandchildren! ”

"Children, children's words! There's nothing bad about it, what a hand! The smile on the old man's face was gone, and he dug Wang Chong's eyes quite unconcealedly.

Seeing this, Wang Chong didn't say much, and raised the two bottles of medicinal wine he had brewed in his hand: "Uncle, it just so happens that the medicinal wine I brewed for you is ready, let's have a good drink today." ”

"What the hell are you kidding?" The old branch secretary's heart is like a mirror, but he is still worried about the fact that this kid 'beats' his grandson just now, and he doesn't have a good face.

Wang Chong smiled: "I really can't hide anything from you." ”

"Recently, I had an idea, but I couldn't make up my mind."

"What do you think, talk to your daughter-in-law about it, what are you doing with me, a bad old man, and it's not me living with you." The old branch secretary was not angry.

While speaking, he had already led the two small ones left and right, and the two packets of sauced beef were naturally also in Wang Chong's hands.

"Hey! It's not that you don't know about the water splash, she supports everything I do, and never says half a 'no', besides, your old man has eaten more salt than I have eaten, and I also want to hear your opinion. ”

"Alright, don't put a top hat on me, just tell me anything!" Although the old man's words were not very good, the smile on his face never broke, and the words he prevaricated before were just joking with Wang Chong.

Wang Chong originally cooperated with the old man, sang Shuanghuang, and talked about cross talk.

"You said that if I contract more land, after it is finished, I will plant oat grass and other pasture grasses, as well as the Juncao brought by Professor Ling that can prevent wind and fix sand and improve the ecology, I will have a few varieties, and when the villagers are engaged in beach sheep breeding in the future, I will sell those hayes to them before winter, what do you think?"

"Can the grass still be sold?" The old branch secretary asked puzzled.

"Why not!" Wang Zhong smiled and said: "As long as there is demand, there will be a market, and in another year or two, when the villagers see that the beach sheep I raise and the mushrooms I grow can make money, aren't they excited?" ”

"When the time comes, I will provide lambs to the villagers, hay for the sheep to spend the winter, provide Juncao, and then set up a foreign sales company to sell our Tan sheep and mushrooms to Shaanxi, Gansu, and Sichuan."

"How can it be so easy as you say!" The old branch secretary shook his head and said, "If such a beach sheep business was so good, someone would have done it a long time ago, where would it be our turn." ”

Although the old branch secretary's words are a little rough, the reason is not rough.

Wang Chong said: "Uncle, you don't know this!" ”

"This beach sheep is easy to raise, but if you talk about selling, it is not so easy, on the Pingchuan under Helan Mountain, how many families rely on breeding beach sheep to make a living."

"Relying on the meager income from farming, the year is good, and I will be able to support a large family, if I really want to live a good life and live a prosperous life, I can only develop other side businesses."

The old branch secretary naturally understood this truth, so he didn't interject, and listened to Wang Zhong while listening to these two little guys.

"But now on our side, we have just poured the water of the Yellow River, and the soil in the field is still barren and not fertile enough.

Besides, no matter what you do, you need to invest a certain cost, in recent years, the villagers have worked in the brick kiln and construction site, although they have earned some money, but it is not much, and most of it has been spent on building houses and preparing land. ”

"Children go to school, and when the children grow up in the future, they get married and start a family, and everywhere is a place to spend money,"

"Besides, our beach sheep here have been to a state banquet, this is the best signboard, and I am confident that we can do it."

"And there are professionals like Professor Ling, and with them knowing, we can avoid a lot of detours!" Wang Zhong said seriously.

"You have a point!" The old branch secretary nodded, but tasted Wang Chong's voice: "So what do you want to do?" ”

"Uncle, you see, now the mushroom is still experimenting, and it will take some time to promote, but the Tan sheep can already start breeding, if the villagers see that in addition to me, there are a few families, and they also make money because of breeding Tan sheep, do you think they will compete to follow suit?"

The old branch secretary was stunned for a moment, then laughed, shook his head, and looked at Wang Chong: "This is the idea that your kid originally played." ”

can work in the position of the branch secretary for so long, can accumulate such a high prestige in Yongquan Village, can see the prospects of Jiaozhuang, and know that the future is more important than the present, the old branch secretary is not a fool.

"Raise sheep, no problem, just say when, when the time comes, I'll let Shui Wang's mother come over, just now Shui Wang's father is busy with the brick kiln, and I'm still worried that no one will take care of the acres of land at home."

"My aunt is a capable and attentive person, if she can come over, then this will be done." Wang Chong came here for his mother, but before he came, Wang Chong was worried that the old branch secretary would be reluctant to go to those fields and houses in Yongquan Village.

But now it seems that Wang Zhong is more worried, the old branch secretary is not so pedantic, he knows what is called a trade-off, and he knows which side of the day is more rushing.

The old branch secretary asked, "Which ones are you going to look for?" Shouting water at their home? ”

Wang nodded and said: "Isn't Gawa's mother here now, and Debao and Uncle Shui, one of them is now the deputy manager of the construction company, and the other is the technical backbone of the kiln factory, the money that the two of them earn every year is not less than Defu, Yongquan side, just those few acres of land, watering is not convenient, and the food grown is not enough for their family to chew for a year, so simply let them take Debao's mother over and come here to live a good life together." ”

The old branch secretary agreed with Wang Chong's words very much, in fact, even if there was no such thing, he planned to find a time for Li Dayou to hurry back to Yongquan to bring Shui Wang's mother over.

Whether the life is good or not, the old branch secretary has a rod and scale in his heart, and there is no rush in the future, and the old branch secretary has eyes to see.

In the past, when I was in Yongquan Village, if the year was better, I could barely get enough food and clothing all year round, but if I encountered a disaster and famine year, I could really only go hungry, dig grass roots, gnaw tree bark, and look for wild vegetables all over the mountains.

Before the founding of the People's Republic of China, even worse, if there was a famine, even the grass roots and bark were gnawed, and they could only use Guanyin soil to feed their stomachs, and finally get a swelling to death, or the whole village dragged their families out to ask for food.

Fortunately, in recent years, the country has become stronger and stronger, and the economic environment has become better and better.

But even if there is relief food, it is hungry and full, and most of the time, they can only drink the wind and eat the soil, and barely survive in a muddy way.

It's like now, it's only been seven or eight years, the house has been built, the land has been prepared, the family has a deposit, and there is no need to be like when I used to be in Yongquan, three meals a day are full of potatoes, steamed in the morning, roasted at noon, and boiled at night.

It's only been a few years, and now I can eat white noodles at home, and occasionally I can cut two catties of mutton, and beat half a catty of loose white to relieve the cravings in my belly.

"Chongwazi, I know that you are dedicated to the good of the villagers, otherwise with your ability, even if you go to Yanjing, you can break through."

The old branch secretary looked at Wang Chong, and many thoughts suddenly popped up in his mind: "I am an old mountain man and a farmer, and I don't understand the big truths written in the book, but the rice must be eaten one bite at a time, and the road must be walked step by step." ”

"Now you are a construction company, a brick kiln, a farm, an experiment, a sheep raiser, a wolfberry, grapes, and a watermelon, and now you have to think of what to sell."

The old man snapped his fingers and said as he counted them.

"You are spinning back and forth like a top every day, and there is no time to stop, not to mention that we are not machines, even if it is those machines in the kiln factory, after a long time, you have to take a break and repair, how can it not stop."

"Not to mention, in our village, there were many people in the past, when they were young, they were also very capable, they got up early every day and were greedy for darkness, and they didn't know what it meant to be tired, but when they got older, all kinds of diseases came out all at once, and there were also young and old who were paralyzed and couldn't get up."

The old branch secretary looked at Wang Chong, with worry between his eyebrows: "You are young now, your body is strong, and you can bear it, but you are not iron-clad, you still have to pay more attention to rest, but don't fall into any disease." ”

"Money is a thing, you don't bring it in life, you don't bring it in death, you have to do so much, it's enough."

Listening to the old branch secretary's concerned words, Wang Zhongxin was deeply moved, and inexplicably the appearance of his uncle in the real society appeared in his mind.

Looking at the old branch secretary in front of him, although the voices and smiles of the two are very different, their concern for themselves is the same, from the heart.

"Uncle, you can rest assured," Wang Zhong smiled and said: "I have a number in my heart, you forgot, I am a doctor myself, I just want to take advantage of the fact that I am young now, energetic, and busy for a few more years, and in a few years, the quality of life of the villagers has improved, and I have a stable livelihood, I should retire, and then I will take the splash and live a peaceful and peaceful life." ”

The old branch secretary looked at Wang Chong who was smiling, sighed, and said that it was all about this, Wang Chong is not a stupid cow or a horse, nor is he a doll, so he naturally knows the severity.

"You just have to know what you know!" The old branch secretary said earnestly: "What is the word you often hang on your lips called, what is the combination?" ”

"Combine work and rest!"

"Yes, yes, yes! It's a combination of work and rest, don't you often say that the combination of work and rest can live a long life! These words have always been Wang Chong's words to persuade the old branch secretary, because he was afraid that he would ignore his body and work blindly, and finally end up falling ill and unable to get up like the original plot.

"Uncle, don't worry! If I don't even know this, why should I recuperate for you! ”

"By the way, there is also this medicinal wine, this is a tonic body, you always remember, you must not drink more than three taels a day." Wang Chong said with a serious face.

"Got it, got it!" The old man waved his hand impatiently and played with the two little ones.

······

In the summer of '98, the fields of Jintan Village were golden, the wheat grains in the field were full, the summer breeze blew, the wheat waves surged, one after another, a kind of beauty that was completely different from the sea, and people were unconsciously indulged in it.

The villagers sang Xintianyou, picked up the sickle, wore a turban and a hat, and wore a short shirt and gown.

In the whole northern region, because of different regions, different climates, different sunshine hours, the ripening season of wheat is different every year, and in the old social period, a profession was also derived, called as a wheat guest, which is to run specifically on this land and cut wheat for people for a living.

The black baby in Bailuyuan is a good microphone guest.

However, Wang Chong's farm obviously did not need to invite wheat customers, two harvesters, four tractors took turns, and two hundred acres of wheat were dried from dawn in the morning until dark, and there were still dozens of acres left.

The next morning, the harvesters and tractors continued to go into battle, and it took three hours to harvest all the remaining dozens of acres of wheat on the farm.

Two hundred acres of land, nearly 150,000 catties of wheat were harvested, this figure is not too high, on average, one mu of land is less than 750 catties.

The yield per mu in the village is much higher than that of Wang Chong, and there are also those that are less than Wang Chong.

Wang Zhong guessed that it should not be the problem of wheat varieties, the main reason may be that the fertility of the soil is not enough, and the care of the farm is not as careful as some villagers.

After all, Wang Chong's farm has only been cultivated for a few years, and although it has been fertilized many times, it is not surprising that the Gobi Desert is not as fertile as those fertile plains.

Moreover, the two hundred acres of wheat land are more laborious to take care of, and there will inevitably be some losses in the process of harvesting and transportation.

What is the concept of 150,000 catties of wheat, almost 100 cubic meters, if it is full, it can almost have more than half of the classroom.

In addition to these two hundred acres of wheat, there are also 80 acres of corn, 50 acres of wolfberry, 20 acres of grapes, and the rest are all planted with several kinds of vegetation and shrubs growing in the Gobi Desert such as Juncao and oat grass, which is the pasture of more than 1,000 Tan sheep.

After harvesting the wheat, Wang Chong and Professor Ling immediately went into the lonely shed again

The greenhouse has been built a long time ago, the shed is not much, the area is only two acres, divided into several areas, Professor Ling took the students and assistants, soaked in the lonely shed all day long, carefully observed the growth of the fungus orphans, and carefully recorded the growth of the orphans in each area.

And on the other side.

The construction of Minning Village is still in progress, and Debao and Shuiwang are getting busier and busier day by day.

Debao's mother and Shui Wang's mother, also at the beginning of summer, were picked up by Ma Shoushui and Li Dayou from Yongquan Village, and each made a sheepfold next to their own house, and each family bought twenty lambs from Wang Chong.

Not only that, Wang Chong also recruited ten people from the young people in the village who had just come to Jiaozhuang in the past two years and had not gone to Fujian Province to work, and asked them to follow Professor Ling and others to work in the lonely shed, while doing chores, while learning the cultivation of mushrooms with Professor Ling and others.

Shui Hua went to the county to re-register a company, established Shanhai Group, and put the construction company, kiln factory, newly established agricultural and sideline products sales company, and several agricultural and sideline product processing workshops under the Shanhai Group.

In the nearby counties and cities such as Xingqing, Haiji, Guyuan, and Qingtongxia, sales points were set up to open up sales channels for agricultural and sideline products.

Shui Hua is smart, has a strong learning ability, is willing to endure hardships, and is capable, not only a good helper, but also plays a very important role in the industrial chain planned by Wang Chong.

Wang Chong's two sons are busy with their careers, and the two brothers Ping An and Pingshun can only be thrown to Li Laoshuan, who used to serve livestock is a good hand, but he didn't think that he would take care of his two grandsons at this time, and he also took care of them very well.

Time soon came to the autumn of '98.
