The donkey cart was really small, barely enough for the three girls to sit on.

Su Yuncheng put Xie Yufei's backpack in the car, held his arm and said to the old branch secretary: "He and I don't have to take the car." ”

Xie Yufei hurriedly nodded: "Yes, yes, I can go." ”

He didn't look like the skinny donkey could afford another person, and if he wore out the donkey, his sin would be great.

The old branch secretary looked at Xie Yufei, and then at the donkey cart, and smiled a little embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, there is only this donkey cart in the village, so ...... Why don't you two wait here for a while, and I'll send a few girls back to pick you up? ”

How could Su Yuncheng rest assured that a few of them would enter the village?

He dragged Xie Yufei again and said, "No, I can really go." ”

Xie Yufei was not at ease, and nodded vigorously: "Yes, yes, yes, you can go." ”

He had personally experienced the events of the Victory Brigade, and even if he was exhausted, he couldn't let them in by himself.

The old branch secretary didn't think so much, and greeted the young man in front of him: "Moowa, get the car ready." He himself went to Xie Yufei's other side and held his other arm.

The speed of the donkey cart is really about the same as that of a human walking, and Xie Yufei has no trouble following it.

Wen Lan asked him, "Why don't you come up and sit for a while?" I can walk. ”

Xie Yufei shook his head decisively: "No!" ”

This is the dignity of men!

He's so tired that he's going to have to go!

Lin Nianhe rested for a while, and finally recovered a little, she looked at the vegetation that was extremely similar to the captain's uncle's hair, and asked, "Branch secretary, do we also have a plan to plant trees here?" ”

There are no too high mountains here, and they walked for most of the day today, up and down.

But this kind of landscape is really scary to look at - those bare mountains and rocks, no matter how you look at it, are high-risk areas for mudslides.

"Yes, but no one plants them, and the crops are not easy to live, so how can you plant trees?"

The old branch secretary sighed.

Planting a tree is not just a matter of sticking a sapling into the soil. In a place like theirs, it takes no less effort to plant a tree than to grow crops.

What can be harvested by planting crops, but what can be harvested by planting trees?

They can't even eat enough, so don't talk to them about the ecological environment, right?

Lin Nianhe has left this day and has a basic understanding of this land. She didn't do the stupid thing of "why not eat minced meat", and directly asked the old branch secretary what he was most concerned about: "I heard that the Red Flag Brigade has long intended to drill a well, have you asked the prospector to come and see it?" Are there any conditions for drilling wells? ”

No matter where you are, a well is not something that can be done by digging a pit. Even for deeper wells, it is necessary to investigate in advance whether there is a groundwater source and the quality of the water.

As soon as the old branch secretary's eyes lit up when he heard the "well", he nodded again and again: "I have found it, the technician of the commune has come to see it, and said that it can be beaten." ”

He looked at Lin Nianhe expectantly, and said, "There are eight hundred and thirty yuan in the village account. ”

The cautious look seems to say: We also have some money, and you don't have to pay it all.

Lin Nianhe unconsciously lowered his tone and said, "Don't worry, no matter how much money it is, this well will definitely be drilled." ”

There were tears flashing in the eyes of the old branch secretary.

When he was young, there was still water in the village well.

Later, the water became scarce and they had to pull water up from the bottom of the mountain.

Later, a young man said that he could drill a well, and if the well was deeper, there would be water.

They began to save money, riveting their money.

But they don't have any money, and the peasants who rely on the sky for food, and the grain they harvest in the fields is even struggling to make ends meet, so what can they use to save money?

His greatest wish in this life is to be able to dig a well for the village before he dies, so that the future generations can drink water.

Today, Mova suddenly came to him, saying that she had met some people from the city on the road and wanted to dig a well for them.

The old branch secretary didn't dare to believe that such a good thing would fall from the sky, but he still came—what if it was true?

Even if there was only a 1 in 10 million chance, he was not willing to give up.

Now, the grizzled city girl said that no matter how much money it was, the well would be drilled.

The old branch secretary turned his back, wiped his eyes, and said, "You haven't heard of Xintianyou, have you?" Shall I sing you a paragraph? ”

The moo, who was pulling the donkey in front of her, laughed when she heard this, turned back to them and said, "The old branch secretary is the best at singing Xintianyou, and I usually can't hear him open his voice!" ”

The old branch secretary cleared his throat, and without waiting for them to politely refuse, he began to sing angrily:

"Hi, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey,

Sheep belly hand towel yo,

Three Blue ......"

He is like an honest man who suddenly receives a distinguished guest, and offers all the hospitality he can take.

The loud and rough voice echoed in the valley, and the songs of northern Shaanxi with tenacious vitality lingered for a long time, as if they wanted to tell the world that even if they were in the worst environment, they had never been crushed.

Xie Yufei looked sideways at the old branch secretary, and felt that his legs had a little more strength.

After singing the song, the three girls on the donkey cart applauded vigorously. Although two-thirds of them didn't understand the meaning of the old branch secretary's singing, it did not prevent them from feeling the vigorous vitality in it.

The old branch secretary was a little embarrassed, wiped his face and said, "I'm old, and I'm not angry." ”

"That's good." Lin Nianhe said, "You are the most versatile branch secretary I have ever seen. ”

The old branch secretary thinks that these girls in the city are quite good and not hypocritical.

He asked, "Have you ever been to the countryside?" ”

"We went to the countryside in the northeast."

"What a place." The old branch secretary sighed lightly and asked again, "Have all your educated youths returned to the city?" ”

"Yes...... Are there any educated youths here who haven't returned to the city? ”

Several of them were a little confused.

Nowadays, not only the educated youth who have gone to university can return to the city, but basically all the educated youths have returned to the city.

"Yes, there are several of us." When it came to this, the old branch secretary was both sad and happy, "They ...... Alas, in the end we delayed a few of them. ”

Before Lin Nianhe and the others could ask, the moo in front of them said, "It's here!" ”

They subconsciously turned around, and what they saw was a cave.

The yellow mud-colored houses blend in with the mountains and the land.

Many people gathered around the entrance of the village, stepping on their feet and watching.

"Come, go to the team headquarters, eat first." The old branch secretary beckoned to the crowd, "Come here and help the girl down, how can they come such a long way." ”

A few stout aunts immediately walked out of the crowd, came to the donkey cart, and got the three girls out of the cart like little chicks.

For this kind of thing, Lin Nianhe and Wang Shumei are very open-minded.

Back then, in the Ten Mile Brigade, Wen Lan didn't carry them like this!

But Wen Lan was not used to it, she waved her hand: "I can go!" I can really walk! ”

My aunt doesn't believe it, I really don't believe it.

Sister Lan felt that her first life name was all buried in the Red Flag Brigade.
