Chapter 622 Rooted in the countryside
"Secretary Gu, when I was in the market, I was going to buy some things back. ?? ?? I will eat at your house for a few days these days. But I will just turn on the fire myself in the future. After all, I don't come here for a day or two. I'm really embarrassed to always bother you. Besides, this water is really not easy." Zhang Yaohua said.
"Why can you do it? You come to the village alone, but the conditions are so bad. When you come to our house, you can only add an extra pair of chopsticks." Gu Baishui said quickly. However, Gu Baishui's wife Liang Meihua stepped on Gu Baishui under the table.
Zhang Yaohua smiled and said, "My family is also from the countryside. When I was a child, my parents went to work, and I was alone at home. Although there was water shortage here, I should not have much problem. However, it is not a problem for the village to be so short of water. I have to find a way to solve it. I heard that the village used to attract stream water from the mountains, but why did it suddenly interrupt? And what happened if the waterway in the canal was broken?"
Gu Baishui nodded: "In the past, our village did attract stream water from the mountains, but it was still very large. Several villages in Yingpan Village all attracted stream water from the mountains. In 1992, the water suddenly broke. The stream water from several villages in the village was broken. Originally, at that time, the weather was good every year. In the past 50s, we had never had a famine. Who would have thought that now, life has become worse and worse. As for that canal, in the past 50s, all the people from the brigade went to dig the canal. With the stream water and that canal, our Yingpan Village had never lacked water. But a few years ago, a Guangshun Hydropower Station was built there, a dam was built to block the water, and the water was changed to the road, so there was no water in our canal."
"Didn't you report it to your superiors?" Zhang Yaohua asked.
"What's the use of reaction? Such a large hydropower station and such great benefits, who would take our people seriously? Besides, that river is not the place in our town. The town can't take care of that. We ordinary people have no choice but to run outside. Those who can settle down outside have all settled their homes outside." Gu Baishui shook his head.
"Why don't we find a suitable place to build a pond to store water?" Zhang Yaohua asked.
"Why don't there be any pond? If you have time, go over and take a look. You are an educated person. Maybe you can figure out why the water in our pond cannot even eat animals? The water irrigates the paddy fields, and even weeds in the paddy fields are gone." Gu Baishui shook his head.
"There is such a thing? Is that the pond like this before?" Zhang Yaohua was very surprised.
"It was not like this before. During the production team, there were still many fish in the pond. We took a bath there and often came back to fish. Now there is not a single living thing in the pond. The water is poisonous, who dares to go into the water?" Gu Baishui said.
What Gu Baishui said is somewhat different from what Gu Chuangui said, but it is generally the same.
After eating at Gu Baishui's house, Zhang Jiaohua went to Tianbaqiao Town. Some of the supplies Zhang Jiaohua needed could be bought without going to the market. Therefore, before Zhang Jiaohua could go to the market, she went to the town to buy all the things.
What surprised Zhang Yaohua was that he met Zhao Ruiping again in the town.
"Zhang Yaohua, you are like me, you can't live in the countryside?" Zhao Ruiping patted Zhang Yaohua on the shoulder.
"Come here to buy something. Where are you?" Zhang Yaohua said.
"I don't plan to go there. That ghost place, is there a place where people live? If I were allowed to live there for a month, I would be crazy. There was no water, that's a big deal. When the gods came, they couldn't make the village well. I heard that Yingpan Village is not much different from the bent tree Village. Are you really going to stay there?" Zhao Ruiping asked.
Zhang Yaohua nodded: "I'm going to buy a motorcycle, otherwise it will be inconvenient to go anywhere. I'll bring some items I need back later. Then I'll find a way to solve the problem in the village."
Zhao Ruiping nodded and stretched out his thumb to Zhang Yaohua: "I'll accept you."
"You really don't plan to go back?" Zhang Yaohua asked.
"Isn't it true or false? If I stay there, I will die. You don't know that the mice in the room were piled up at night and even ran to my bed. I was so scared that I didn't dare to close my eyes all night. This ghost place!" Zhao Ruiping shook his head.
"What do you say about Mayor Zhu?" Zhang Yaohua asked.
"Mayor Zhu said that I would do things in the town first." Zhao Ruiping said.
"That's fine. Come with me to buy a motorcycle?" Zhang Yaohua asked.
"What? Have you really planned to have a protracted war?" Zhao Ruiping asked.
Zhang Yaohua smiled and said, "It's okay, it's just for convenience."
Zhao Rui was bored and followed Zhang Jiaohua to the place where he sold motorcycles. The place where he bought motorcycles in Tianbaqiao Town was very simple, with only one or two old domestic motorcycles inside, which was not expensive. Zhang Jiaohua bought one and also installed an iron box, which was for the convenience of loading things.
Zhang Yaohua went to buy various cooking utensils again, just like she was preparing to settle down in Yingpan Village.
"Zhang Yaohua, no matter whether you can really stay here or not, I admire you very much when you do this. I can't do it anyway." Zhao Ruiping said very depressedly. At the beginning, Zhao Ruiping was still full of confidence, but now, he has completely given up, but he can see that Zhang Yaohua has no intention of leaving here at all.
During lunch, Gu Baishui's grandson Gu Chenglin went to call Zhang Jiaohua for dinner. He pushed open the door but did not appear. If he hadn't seen Zhang Jiaohua's luggage still there, he would have thought Zhang Jiaohua could no longer hold on and ran away.
In the afternoon, Zhang Yaohua rode a brand new motorcycle into the village. He was immediately seen by Gu Chuangui who was playing at the entrance of the village.
"Wow! Motorcycle! Have you gone to buy a motorcycle? You people in the city are so rich!" In Gu Chuangui's impression, motorcycles are very expensive things. Only very rich people can afford it. There is no motorcycle in Yingpan Village. Only the boss who comes to the village to collect medicinal materials will ride a motorcycle into the village!
Zhang Yaohua laughed: "Chuangui! Help me move things! You guys come and help me, I'll give you something delicious later!"
Gu Chuangui and several other children rushed up immediately and rushed to help Zhang Yaohua move things.
Zhang Yaohua pushed the motorcycle into an empty room and covered it with a rainproof cloth. The classroom was very damaged. When he looked up in the room, the small holes were like stars in the sky on a clear night.
Zhang Beihua put the car on and returned to the room. Although the snacks Zhang Beihua bought were placed directly in the bag, these children did not take them out to eat them themselves, and they knew that they were squatting there waiting for Zhang Beihua to come.
"Why don't you take it yourself?" Zhang Yaohua actually knew why they were like this. She was similar to them when she was a child. Zhang Yaohua opened the bag and grabbed a lot of them: "If it's not enough, I'll take it later."
"Enough is enough. We didn't help you." Gu Chuangui said quickly.
Several children ate snacks with relish, but Gu Chuangui was reluctant to eat only one.
"Uncle, can I take it back and eat it?" Gu Chuangui asked.
"Yes, yes, take it back and eat it." Zhang Jiaohua nodded. Gu Chuangui originally wanted to eat it, but he could control himself and wanted to take the snacks back and eat it. He must not give it to him, but to the person he cared about the most.
Zhang Yaohua remembered that Gu Chuangui also said he wanted to buy painkillers for his grandfather to eat, but he was afraid that he would take these snacks back for his grandfather to eat.
Zhang Yaohua looked at Gu Chuangui who was jumping and running home with snacks, and the more he seemed to see himself back then.
The other children also went home with their food. They were not greedy for the snacks in Zhang beggar's bag. Zhang beggar smiled, picked up the snacks, and put them in the box.
Put the cookware she bought, rice, oil noodles and other things. Zhang Qiaohua thought of her own solution to the three meals she had prepared at home. Zhang Qiaohua had long seen the expression of Gu Baishui's wife. She always ate and drank for free at other people's houses, and Zhang Qiaohua was also dissatisfied with it.
Zhang Yaohua pointed into a red plastic bucket, and the bucket was filled with water. The water was clear and transparent, and it looked different.
Fortunately, although the school was abandoned, the wires were still there. I had already connected the wires yesterday. Zhang Jiaohua bought some wires and some electrical items today. In this way, the rice cooker and the electric wok can come in handy.
When Gu Baishui rushed over, a smell of vegetable was already wafting from Zhang Yaohua.
"After asking about the smell of the food, I knew Xiao Zhang, you are going to stay here. Okay, you are not at ease with us old guys. Just ask me what you need. The conditions in our Yingpan Village are indeed a bit bad. But people are still very kind." Gu Baishui said.
"Secretary Gu, if I hadn't sat down and tasted my skills? I'd be embarrassed to have been at your house these two days." Zhang Yaohua said.
"Okay, I'll try your skills. If your skills are not good, we'll do it." Gu Baishui was not polite and sat down.
Zhang Yaohua didn't cook much, and each person filled a bowl of rice, but the dishes were temporarily fried. This shabby desk was used as the dining table, and the two of them sat on a bench.
"Hey, your skills are pretty good!" Gu Baishui couldn't help but exclaimed after taking a bite. Zhang Yaohua's meal is naturally not simple. Although rice is ordinary late rice bought from the town, and the vegetables are bought in the town's vegetable market. However, the water used is not simple. He used the spiritual spring made from the Taoist map space. Can the taste of this meal be bad?
Zhang Yaohua smiled.
"No wonder you refused to eat at my house. Compared with what you cook, my food is like pig food. It is amazing, and it is not easy for young people." Gu Baishui gave Zhang Yaohua a thumbs up.
"Secretary Gu, the place where I live has been settled. In the next few days, I will be planning to walk around the village. Understand the situation and facilitate my work in the future." Zhang Jiaohua said.
"You must." Gu Baishui nodded, "You young man, have ideas, so do it boldly. I am old and don't have the energy. But I won't hold you back." 8
