Since the end of February, villagers in the Zhaomagou River basin have continued to dig rivers and clean up the rivers, and as a key project benefiting 300,000 people in the province, leaders at all levels in Northwest Province and Xizhou City have come to inspect them from time to time.

On March 20, a vice governor of the province who was in charge of the economy came to inspect, and other leaders came to inspect the departure from the provincial capital Xizhou, crossing the Yellow River along the Zhaomagou River Beach Road, the vice governor walked Yantan through the oil field, when he walked to the image avenue of Shibi Village, at this time the rows of willow trees planted last year have sprouted, and the tender green willow branches swayed arbitrarily under the plucking of the spring breeze, as if to welcome the arrival of the leader, the vice governor's eyes lit up, and the accompanying personnel praised the leaders here for their awareness of development and environmental protection. The way opened up in this way, planting willow trees is not only a kind of protection for the environment, but also a pleasing feeling for people walking here.

The accompanying personnel reported to the leaders that this road was led by a village leader to lead the villagers to repair it spontaneously in order to attract investment, and these trees were donated to the villagers by the factory after the factory landed, and promised that the factory would pay the villagers money to buy back the trees in the future. The vice governor was even more interested, and temporarily changed his itinerary to meet the village chief, who is working for the welfare of the villagers. The accompanying staff sent a secretary to inform him that the head of Shishi Village had just sent a cart of water to the factory and was about to go to pull water for the villagers to eat at noon.

"Big brother, who is the village chief here?"

"What are you doing in the village chief's group?"

"The provincial leaders came down to inspect the river renovation project, temporarily changed their itinerary, and wanted to meet the village chief."

"Oh, yes."

"Ah, who you are?" When the leader's secretary saw this man with a dark face, a strong figure, and a blue cloth overalls, he was a little unconvinced that this was a village leader.

"Yes, he is the village chief of Shibi Village, if he is fake."

"Then you and I should prepare for the leader."

"Emu (no) is empty, and the villagers want to eat fat (water) at noon."

"You are a person, no matter how many people ask to see the provincial leaders, they can't see it. You're still avoiding it. "The two were arguing, and the deputy governor had already arrived in front of them. The secretary was just about to make a grand introduction, but was stopped by the leader with a gesture.

He stepped forward and said to the village chief, "This fellow, I heard that you have done a lot of practical things for the villagers, good things. ”

"Oh, don't talk about it, I didn't make the villagers rich early, this village chief is derelict in his duties."

"So what are you going to do now? Can you find time to talk? ”

"I have to go and pull fertilizer (water) drops for the villagers first."

"Oh, let's talk while we walk, okay?"

"Well."

"What are the urgent difficulties in the village that need to be solved by the government?"

"If you want to say the most difficult, it is still eating fertilizer (water), for more than ten years, I have been pulling fertilizer (water) to the villagers since then, until now."

"This will be solved soon when our Zhaomagou is repaired, and the new river is to solve the problem of draft irrigation for the people."

"What about the others?"

"Others" Shi Village Chief thought for a moment, and then said: "Leader, there is really a problem that needs to be solved, can you connect Emeng (our) village to electricity?" ”

"Why does the electrification need to be solved in the first place?"

"Oh, you don't know, I help the villagers to fight for a factory, now everyone has made some money in it, and their hands are more comfortable, but the factory wants to improve production efficiency, and now the cutting is still using a gasoline engine, and there is no electricity to keep it." In addition, the common people are rich, and they want their children to go to school, and they will be more productive in the future. ”

"Yes, Chief Shicun, you are right, you have a vision for development, and I, the vice governor, have been taught."

"You're the Vice-Governor?"

"Ha, I'm so sorry, it's all a blind Buddha."

"You're right, District Mayor Liu, Han Wangchuan belongs to your Chengbei District, right? How about a village like this, where there is no water and no electricity? ”

"There are a few leaders."

"Then let the Electric Power Bureau seize the time to electrify the villagers, just like the head of Shishi Village said, this is a big event for the benefit of future generations."

"Okay, leader, go back and coordinate it as soon as possible. It's just that you see that our trip has been delayed. ”

"It's okay to delay, and really solving some practical problems for the people is what we leaders should do. Let's go and have a look on the river. The group drove towards Zhao Magou.

A few days later, a team of staff from the Electric Power Bureau came to Shibi Village to conduct surveying and mapping, and the villagers asked, saying that they were preparing to plant electric poles, and some villagers did not know what electric poles were, thinking that they were the same as last year's willow meows, so they asked: "Will it be recycled in the future?" ”

"Cement, if you plant it and stand up, you can't move."

"What can you do if you don't eat or drink?"

"We don't want it."

"Hurry up and report to the stone village chief."

The villagers were gossiping, and the electricity bureau was amused by everyone's ignorant remarks. When the village chief heard this, he was very angry and quickly informed the village accountant to bring two shrewd people carrying thermos to entertain the staff of the electricity bureau. He stopped the villagers' arguments and told them that if they had electricity, they would no longer need to light kerosene lamps for their children to study. As soon as the villagers heard that they were good to the children, they changed their attitudes, and this is the simplicity of the peasants.

At the beginning of April, the first batch of cement power poles was pulled back, and according to the principle of planting in the nearest territory, the public part was planted by the engineering staff of the Electric Power Bureau, and the village part was planted by the villagers. Shibi Village is the stone village chief led the villagers to dig a one-meter deep pit according to the planting point drawn by the surveyors and mappers of the Electric Power Bureau with white ash in advance, and erected the electric poles with ropes, when 50 meters away from one, forming a row of electric poles along the way, it is magnificent.

Then it was to set up wires, and Yang Liufang timely asked Qin Jiajun, who came to deliver food, to take back 200 25W incandescent lamps from the store and give them to the village and distribute them to the villagers for free. And I asked for ten 100W ones in my factory. As the wires are erected day by day, the villagers' expectations for the light bulbs are getting stronger and stronger, and people in the village follow the staff of the electricity bureau every day to ask when the electricity will be turned on? The reply was "Soon".

The work was busy until April 20, when the wires were all erected, and the village chief of Stone announced by radio that everyone would be energized at 7 p.m. Like the Chinese New Year, the villagers sat around the incandescent lamp given to everyone by the furniture factory, looking forward to it being lit up and looking forward to the arrival of light.

At seven o'clock in the evening, every household in the village turned on the lights on time, and the villagers looked at the bulbs, which were not smoky and dozens of times brighter than kerosene lamps, to understand the power of electricity and the power of science and technology.

More than a dozen 100W incandescent lamps were lit up in Yang Liufang's factory, and the factory was instantly brightly lit, as bright as day, and the workers no longer had to work under the dim lanterns. In order to facilitate the loading of goods, Yang Liufang also installed a lamp at the entrance of the factory, and also used a disc-like lamp cover to cover it from rain.

Wangshawan was electrified a month later than Shibi Village, and since the river was brought under control and the sand washing wells were no longer allowed to be used, the villagers complained, but Wang Shan, who works at the city's supply and marketing cooperative, could not hear it. After Yinhua was discharged from the hospital, he did not let her go back to the village, but rented a small house in Yanhua's community and lived the life of a city person.
