Everyone understands the difficulties faced by the villagers in Laoshuyu, but no one can spare the money to solve the actual problems.
It wasn't until Yu Yan visited Laoshuyu that he solved the problem. From the first batch of profits from the feed factory, a sum of money was used to support the construction of water canals in Laoshuyu Village.
Some detonators and explosives plus 20,000 yuan can solve the water supply and subsequent development of hundreds of people in a village. No matter how I calculate the account, I feel that it is very worthwhile.
Gao Mu said: "Secretary Yu will be able to solve the big problem when the canal is repaired, and things will be better next year."
Yu Yan shook his head and said: "Leader Gao Mu must not be so short-sighted. Even if the canal is repaired, it can only solve the problem of drinking water for humans and animals. The irrigation problem may not be completely solved. I think we will have to think of a solution after the Qianqian Canal is repaired." There was something wrong with our previous irrigation method. Your land can't store water. No matter how much water you pour, the crops won't have time to absorb it, and it will all leak out. That's not good. Your canals can't divert so much water."
Gao Mu was stunned for a moment, nodded and said, "The secretary has this idea, but I really can't think of a good way."
Yu Yan said: "Drip irrigation, Gao Mu, do you understand what drip irrigation is?"
Gao Mu shook his head repeatedly and looked a little confused.
Yuyan said: "Drip irrigation is a watering technology invented by Israeli farms. Israel has a serious water shortage in the Middle East, but their crops can have a bumper harvest every year. Scientific planting is the fundamental premise. The so-called drip irrigation technology is to directly connect water pipes to the fields. The effect of the soil on the roots of crops is simply put. There is a faucet at the root of each plant. Watering is done regularly every day. The water flow is not large and drips little by little. Basically, all the water is absorbed before it can penetrate into the plant. Do you understand the need to use very little water but ensure crops?”
Gao Mu began to think deeply, imagining what kind of drip irrigation technology Yu Yan mentioned.
Yu Yan simply walked directly from the mountain road to a slope and pointed at some crops grown in the field to give Gao Mu a lesson.
Seeing this, Xiao Huang, Xiao Zhou and others had no choice but to stop and go to the field to listen to Yu Yan's lecture with the villagers. Everyone looked at a loss.
**Neither Xiao Huang nor Xiao Zhou came from a farming family and have no idea about these agricultural science and technology knowledge.
Gao Mu was very perceptive. After listening for a while, he scratched his head and said, "Secretary Yu, I understand what you mean. The truth is this, but how much does this water pipe cost? Our mountains and fields are full of slopes..."
If a drip irrigation pipe was arranged at the root of each plant, it would be repayable. I don’t know how much it would cost. Not to mention that Laoshuyu didn’t have the financial resources, and even Beiluan District couldn’t provide so much money.
**There was also a look of disapproval on his face. Young people know that they are too high-minded and not down-to-earth at all.
Yu Yan Buran smiled and scolded: "Gao Mu, you idiot, the water pipes must be made of iron. You have to pay for them. Look up at the bamboo mountain opposite. There are bamboos all over the mountains and fields. You won't use local materials, bring the bamboos back and split them in two." Either open up the middle or drill some holes and connect them together. Isn't it just a water pipe? You can control the source of the canal and make some small gates and open them regularly for two or three hours every day. That's enough. Use your brains."
On the opposite mountain about ten miles away from the old tree area, there is indeed a bamboo forest as dense as the sea. It is lush and spectacular. The drought-resistant bamboo root system is well developed and penetrates deep into the ground. Bamboo can adapt to places where ordinary crops cannot grow.
Gao Mu Maocai suddenly clicked his head excitedly and shouted: "Yes, this is ready-made material. Why didn't I think of it? Secretary, your brain is better for it."
Xiao Zhou hurriedly opened his notebook and recorded Yu Yan's words in his notebook.
** said: "Well, Comrade Yuyan's method seems to be good. If it works, it is worth using in other rural areas in the county. Moso bamboo is not worth using to replace water pipes. It is a good idea."
Xiao Zhou quickly wrote down what Secretary Zhang said. He said to himself that Secretary Zhang is far-sighted and always looks at problems from the perspective of the overall situation.
Yu Yan smiled and nodded in agreement.
Although he came up with this idea, saying this is a bit of a grab for credit, but if it can be promoted throughout the county, it will be a good thing and many farmers can benefit. After all, ** is the secretary of the county party committee Yu Yan, no matter how awesome he is, he can't control it for the time being. To go to districts and towns outside Beiluan, you have to rely on the power in the hands of the police
"Secretary Yu, I will arrange for people to go there tomorrow to cut bamboo to make water pipes. Let's test it first. If it works, we have to start immediately, otherwise we won't be able to catch up with next year's spring planting."
Gao Mu is also a resolute character. Hearing what Yu Yan said made sense, he was gearing up and just wanted to get it done right away.
Yu Yan patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Let's go to the village first. Secretary Zhang and others are really tired and need to take a good rest."
"Ah, okay, Secretary Zhang, please"
The mountain is very steep and the road is very narrow. You have to be very careful when walking on it. Fortunately, Xiao Zhou's leather shoes have already broken the heels, otherwise she will easily fall down on this mountain road, which will be a big trouble.
Even though Gao Mu was so good, he also made special arrangements to ask two female villagers to help Xiao Zhou. They were afraid that she would fall down the hill for a few hundred yuan and roll down the hill. It was not a joke that would kill someone. Gao Mu himself helped him and didn't care. Isn't the county party secretary old enough? If an elder comes to Laoshuyu as a guest, Gao Mu should protect their safety.
As for Secretary Yu, don’t worry about it.
This man is so strong that he has better physical strength than the mountain people like them.
Gao Mu's home is built at the bottom of the hillside on a slightly flat slope with bluestone walls and a roof covered with dried thatch and a layer of mud. There are three houses in total. Gao Mu's parents live in one, and Gao Mu lives in another. There are two younger siblings who live in a Gaomu house, which is used as a temporary reception room, and his parents' bedroom doubles as a kitchen. Of course, if the weather is not particularly cold, a clay stove is set up outside for cooking. In winter, when burning firewood, some pebbles and some charcoal are added indoors for both cooking and heating.
As for Gao Mu, the room of the branch secretary is just a bed or a shelf made of stones, with a bamboo bed board placed on it and some dry thatch, and a simple yellow cloth quilt. You can tell at a glance that it is an item from the army. At that time, the head of the army allowed Gao Mu to take it home
In addition, there is a self-made wooden table and several self-made bamboo chairs and wooden stools of varying heights. It is a small office space, and it seems very cramped when seven or eight people enter.
Seeing this appearance, Xiao Zhou Xiaohuang couldn't help but be stunned.
This is the home and office of the village party secretary
Seeing that Gao Mu was in a hurry, Yueyan ordered: Gao Mu, don't be busy with other things now, just do a few things.
First, get some hot water and ask Secretary Zhang and everyone to wash their faces. Second, get some hot tea. It’s best to use ginger soup before sweating, otherwise you will catch a cold if you stop sweating. Third, bring a big fire pot and come over. It’s too cold in this house. "
It may not be too cold in the plains, but in the mountains the temperature is at least three or four degrees lower** They wear clothes according to the temperature at the bottom of the mountain, and they are most likely to catch cold after the sweat subsides.
Yu Yan’s arrangement is very targeted.
Xiao Zhou's eyes turned bright when he looked at Yu Yan. She felt so cold now. Yu Yan was like a spider in her stomach. This little secretary knew a lot at such a young age.
Gao Mu quickly agreed and ran out in a hurry.
Soon hot water and ginger soup and the boss's brazier were brought over.
** and others washed their faces with hot water and wiped their palms and arms. They felt much better. They drank steaming ginger soup and sat around the big fire pot. They had just stopped sweating and felt that their cold bodies were gradually warming up again.
So comfortable
At the beginning, Xiao Zhou tried to straighten his waist and sit up, but soon he couldn't hold his eyes and kept fighting. It was really tiring. Xiao Huang was not much better than her, but Xiao Huang was a man with slightly better physical strength. Some are barely supporting it
**Isn't it true? After all, he is old and his whole body seems to be falling apart. But as the secretary of the county party committee, it is natural that he cannot take a nap at this time. It would be too inappropriate. Yu Yan said that he traveled all over the district in a few months. The ** of the Hundred and Three Administrative Villages was a little doubtful at first, but now seeing Yu Yan’s appearance of being able to do this, he is 90% convinced.
It’s good to be young
However, no matter how young you are and how energetic you are, you still have to have the heart and willingness to run. It seems that these young people really want to make some achievements.
**Secretly weighed the task he had received in his mind. Should such a young cadre with a background and sincere desire to do something for the masses really watch him?** He hesitated for the first time, but this hesitation was only a moment. In an instant, self-interest quickly took over. **'s heart immediately hardened and she felt faintly ashamed of her wavering.
It’s ridiculous that a man in his forties can be so naive after spending his entire life in officialdom.
After taking a few sips of ginger soup**, he started chatting casually with Gao Mu and asked about the situation of Laoshuyu Village and several other neighboring mountainous villages. Gao Mu naturally answered them one by one.
Xiao Zhou was already drowsy. At this time, he gathered his energy and sat up straight. He took out his notebook to record the conversation between Secretary Zhang and Gao Mu. Once he got into work, his fatigue seemed to be slightly relieved and he became less sleepy.
Yu Yan stayed silent and rarely interrupted.
The villagers who had formed a circle outside Gao Mu's house looked curiously into the house. They heard that the person who came was the county party secretary. In fact, how old the county party secretary was? Most of the villagers in Laoshuyu Village didn't know. In their minds, The highest official in the county should be the county magistrate
The head of a county
As for the county party committee secretary, he should be a cadre under the county magistrate, but he is a high-ranking official who cannot leave. Laoshuyu Village has never had such a big official. In the past, Secretary Xiao Yu in the district was already the biggest leader they had ever seen.
** He is very kind in front of the villagers and raises his hand to greet the older villagers to come and sit in the house. The room is not big to begin with, and when a few people come in, it becomes crowded, but with more people, it is warmer.
** took out his cigarette again and gave it to the villagers. The villagers took it from his hand with fear and respect.
The room was very lively all of a sudden
Gao Mu chatted with him for a while and saw that it was getting late and said: "Secretary Zhang, Secretary, you guys, sit down for a while while I go out."
No doubt he was going to arrange dinner
** quickly ordered: "Xiao Gao, why don't you go make dinner? I have one request, that is, don't do anything special. I will eat whatever you want, just what you usually eat."
"Well... Secretary Zhang, you guys are distinguished guests, isn't this okay?"
Gao Mu suddenly felt a little embarrassed and scratched his head and said
Yu Yan secretly laughed
Gao Mu is an honest person and is far from the smooth leaders like those branch secretaries around Beiluan Town. I must say this, but you must not take it seriously. Generally speaking, sensible village cadres will agree with a smile and then do whatever they want.
The living standard in Laoshuyu is getting better and better, but I have seen it. If the villagers eat whatever Secretary Zhang eats, Secretary Zhang will probably be hungry tonight. Don't say that he has never eaten that kind of food** for a cadre who has just come down from the provincial government. Maybe I haven't even seen him before
"I will eat whatever you want if I don't do anything special." ** said with a firm wave of his hand: "I came here just to see with my own eyes the daily life of the people in the mountainous areas."
Gao Mu was still a little undecided, and his eyes naturally fell on Yu Yan. Yu Yan was very young and got along well with him, and he was the secretary of Beiluan District. Gao Mu regarded him as one of his own within the jurisdiction of Beiluan District. The secretary of the committee can be considered half the master, right?
Yu Yan smiled slightly and said: "Gao Mu will follow Secretary Zhang's instructions."
Gao Mu seemed to understand something, nodded and turned around to leave the room.
**Continue chatting with other villagers and ask detailed questions about the situation in the village.
Soon the aroma of the food spread over Xiao Zhou and Xiao Huang. They couldn't help but swallowed a mouthful of saliva. They walked on the mountain road for a day and had some food in Xicheng Village. Before leaving, the biscuits Yu Yan asked Xiao Man to prepare were also eaten on the way. After eating all my energy, I was already hungry and my stomach was growling. The smell of the food was particularly tempting.
Yu Yan knew that Gao Mu still didn't dare to carry out Secretary Zhang's instructions seriously, let alone such a distinguished guest as the county party secretary, even ordinary relatives and simple mountain people who came to entertain them.
When it was getting dark, Gao Mu came over and said that it was time to start dinner and asked for instructions: "Secretary Zhang, we have the Baogu wine we brewed ourselves, would you like to drink some?"
** Yi Ting Weiwei took the lead: "You can drink some of the homemade Baogu wine."
Several villagers who were invited to talk stood up and said goodbye. The villagers gathered outside the house also dispersed. You can't watch the county leaders eat here. It's too rude.
Gao Mu and his parents, one by one, a middle-aged woman in her forties brought several large bowls over and placed them on the table in the middle of a large bowl with a bowl of black and red meat slices stir-fried with red pepper. At first glance, you can tell that it is dried game. Deep in the mountains, villagers occasionally catch game. They usually take it to the city and sell it for money. Some are dried and hung up for entertaining guests.
