At night, Mingquan lay on the bed and thought a lot about Wei Jiangchuan's words.

What do people live for? It's not about consuming food and clothing, and in the end it becomes a pile of waste, and dust goes to dust. Since natural selection has given us the mind by evolving from a lower animal to a higher animal, we must make better use of this characteristic, otherwise we will eventually be deprived of it. People with thinking characteristics must have a meaning to live in this world, otherwise what is the difference between them and the walking dead? If you want to live a meaningful life, you must live every day seriously and make every day meaningful, and the same is true for every job!

The next morning, Mingquan decided to go to Liwan Village.

Although the results of the mineral samples and water quality tests in Liwan Village were unexpected, I did my best, and as long as I made subjective efforts, there were no regrets.

Mingquan came directly to the village committee office.

"Director Li, this is the test results of the ore and water quality of Liwan Village!" Mingquan handed the report to Li Qiang.

Li Qiang looked at the report, his brows furrowed, but he quickly relaxed.

"Director Ming, thank you!" Li Qiang held Mingquan's hand and said sincerely, "If this report is true, the problem that has plagued Liwan Village for hundreds of years will know the reason!" ”

"To tell you the truth, I've been wondering what caused such a ......," Li Qiang said with some of his guesses.

"Director Li, I have a question...... Mingquan interrupted Li Qiang's words apologetically.

Li Qiang nodded.

"Did the children in the village who suffer from this disease start with the second child?" This question was raised by Qing Yuchuan's mother, if the daughter-in-law who married far away was pregnant just after getting married, there was no problem with the child she gave birth, but there was a problem with the second child, that is, the problem of Liwan Village itself.

"Hey, Secretary Ming is here!" Before Mingquan could finish speaking, Wang Ping walked in.

"Sister Ping......" Without waiting for Wang Ping to sit down, Li Qiang was a little impatient to throw Mingquan's question to Wang Ping.

Wang Ping pondered for a while, "I married from another county, and soon became pregnant with ......" Speaking of this, Wang Ping smiled embarrassedly, "The first child is a female baby, which is normal, and the second is a male baby, which is ...... before the age of ten" Wang Ping sighed, "Those sick children in the village are the first, there are also second, and even the third child ......is like this."

"Sister Ping......" Mingquan looked at Wang Ping, "You said that you married far away to Liwan Village, what else in the village was married far away?" Are they in the same situation as yours? Mingquan asked a little impatiently.

"Think about it, the daughter-in-law of the second dog, the daughter-in-law of the third baby, and the daughter-in-law of the stuffy dun...... Their daughters-in-law are all married from other places, and their first child seems to be fine......" Wang Ping looked at Li Qiang.

Li Qiang pondered for a moment and nodded.

"Sister Ping, think about it again, what is the situation of the first families with problems?"

"The ...... of Li Bao's family, the stunned family, and the crooked neck family" Li Ping counted with her fingers, "The first child of these families has not lived past the age of 10, Director Li ......" Wang Ping looked at Li Qiang, "The daughter-in-law of the stunned family is from Zhaojia Village, Sanlin Township, right?" ”

"I really don't know." Li Qiang touched the back of his head and smiled.

"It's not Zhaojiacun, it's Zhaojiawan!" A voice came from the doorway.

"The old branch secretary." Li Qiang and Wang Ping got up and shouted in unison.

The old branch secretary held a large cigarette pouch in his mouth and stood at the door with his hands behind his back. Seeing Mingquan sitting there, his brows furrowed, and then he turned around and walked out.

"Sister Ping......" Mingquan saw that the old branch secretary's attitude was not quite right, and turned to look at Wang Ping.

"Qiangzi, Xiaoping......" The voice of the old branch secretary came from outside the house.

Li Qiang and Wang Ping glanced at each other, "Director Ming......" Li Qiang looked at Mingquan and stopped talking.

"Director Li, Sister Ping......" Mingquan smiled and waved his hand, "Sister Ping, please help me get an accurate data, I'll come over in the next year!" Mingquan looked at Wang Ping and said.

"Director Li, you go over first, and I'll say a few words to Director Ming before coming over." Wang Ping glanced outside and turned his head to look at Li Qiangdao.

Li Qiang nodded, and then walked out of the room.

"Minggan......" Wang Ping was interrupted by Mingquan as soon as she opened her mouth, "Sister Ping, call me Xiao Ming." Mingquan said with a smile.

"You wait for me at the entrance of the village for a while, the matter is over with the old branch secretary, I will look for you at the entrance of the village, and give you the data you want, so that you can run again after the year." Wang Ping said and glanced outside the house.

Mingquan knew the old branch secretary's attitude towards him, and also saw that Li Qiang and Wang Ping were a little jealous of the old branch secretary, so he nodded, then turned around and walked out.

Mingquan thought about Wei Ning's words as he walked, if he wanted to fundamentally change the current situation of Liwan Village, he could only relocate as a whole. Mingquan shook his head, the overall relocation is impossible, as the saying goes, the homeland is hard to leave. But what if some young people are allowed to move out? Mingquan had a whim. Young people, especially those who go out to work, have a much broader horizon and should be able to accept it. When the time comes, ask Wei Ning and them to come over and survey, and then find a suitable place to live, and the township or county will take out some of the money, and the village and individuals will raise some money to rebuild new homes, which should be feasible! Mingquan thought wishfully.

There is a big tree at the entrance of the village, and there is an old and ruined land temple next to it, but the land god in the temple has long disappeared, and there are only a few wooden planks left on the top of the temple, and the tiles on it are incomplete.

Mingquan shook his head, this is probably smashed as the four olds in that era.

"Xiao Ming, what are you looking at?" Wang Ping's voice came from behind him.

"Sister Ping, I'll take a look at ......," Mingquan turned around and said.

Wang Ping handed a notebook to Mingquan, "The data in it are all real and reliable, you can take a look." ”

After Mingquan was polite, he said goodbye and left.

This year's Spring Festival was particularly cold, and Chinese New Year's Eve Mingquan's family went to a bar with a few college classmates after the reunion, which has become a tradition for several of them......

In the first and second years of junior high school, Mingquan wrote an article entitled "Some Thoughts on How to Organically Combine Rural Economic Development with Family Planning Work" based on his work experience in Sanlin Township, and handed it to a classmate who worked in the city newspaper......

On the afternoon of the third day of junior high school, Mingquan and Wei Ning met and chatted about Liwan Village......

On the fourth day of the new year, Mingquan went to Qingyuchuan's house to pay a New Year's ......

Mingquan returned to Sanlin Township on the afternoon of the fifth day of the Lunar New Year.

I had a meal with Sun Ye in the evening......

The New Year in the township is generally not over until the fifteenth year, and this year is over. This year's beginning of spring is the sixth day of the first month, from the sixth day to the fifteenth, the township began to drink spring wine.

The Southern Regions have their own tradition of winemaking, and the sake of those years was made from red roots. In recent years, after the implementation of the rural production package to households, more people have become richer, so they began to use rice to make spring wine.

Mingquan has no more friends in Sanlin Township, except for Sun Ye from the Agricultural Technology Station, who basically stayed in the office in previous years, and it is estimated that this year will be the same.

On the morning of the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, as soon as Mingquan arrived at the office, he received a call from Zhangjiacun, saying that Secretary Zhang had invited Mingquan to Zhangjiacun at noon today to drink spring wine.

Zhangjiacun invited himself to drink spring wine? Mingquan is a little puzzled, it is said that on the day of the beginning of spring, the people invited to drink spring wine are generally people with heads and faces, they are a scum in Sanlin Township, and they are not familiar with the cadres of Zhangjia Village, the only time is that they went with Wang Fang a year ago, when they saw that Zhang Linchang, the party secretary of Zhangjia Village, did not enter the oil and salt, and couldn't help but ask a few questions. I didn't expect to invite myself to drink spring wine on the day of the beginning of spring?

To go or not, Mingquan struggled for a while, and finally arrived at Zhangjia Village at about eleven o'clock. I wanted to report to Wang Fang, but I didn't see Wang Fang until ten o'clock, so Mingquan had to go to Zhangjia Village.

The people from the village committee office directly led Mingquan to the house of Zhang Linchang, the village party secretary.

When Mingquan arrived, there were only a few people in Zhang Linchang's family, and after Zhang Linchang introduced him, he led Mingquan to another room.

"Director Ming, the truth you said that day touched me deeply, I and a few people in the village committee summed it up, and it is indeed like you said, with the continuous growth of the population of the village, the per capita available arable land is decreasing year by year, which is also a practical problem that has been plaguing our village, but ......" Zhang Lin Chang said, "You also know that for thousands of years, the people's deep-rooted unfilial piety has three no posteriority, raising children and preventing old age The idea is too heavy, the countryside is not better than the city, and the people in the city have jobs, have a fixed monthly income, and have a pension after retirement." , but what about the countryside? When Zhang Linchang said this, he stopped talking, "Don't talk about this today, today is the beginning of spring, this is the first day of spring wine here, noon, don't get drunk, haha." This Zhang Lin only said half of his long words, and let Mingquan think about the rest.

This meal at noon made Mingquan see the custom of drinking in the countryside, and he would definitely not be able to get off the table if he didn't drink it. Mingquan's amount of wine was six or seven taels, and after a circle, Mingquan could barely support it, but then the cadres in the village and the respected old man had three glasses each, and Mingquan couldn't parry it, and lay directly on the table.

Mingquan didn't know how he got off the table, and when he woke up, he found himself lying on the bed, surrounded by dark lights.

Today is the worst drunk Izumi has ever been since he learned to drink, so much so that he doesn't remember anything about the first time he drank alcohol.

Mingquan returned to the township family planning office at nine o'clock the next morning, and when he left, he had a brief chat with Zhang Linchang and other village committees, and Zhang Linchang hoped that the township family planning office could take care of it according to the situation of each village and if the policy allows......

Sitting in the office, thinking of Zhang Linchang's words, Mingquan was a little speechless, it seems that the spring wine in Sanlin Township is not delicious! If you don't say that you don't have the right, you have the right, and it is impossible to do something like this that violates the policy, after all, the family planning policy is related to the major events of future generations.
