A month later, Li Jie officially resigned as the acting village party secretary of Jintan Village. The villagers were quite worried about this matter. For a while, they started talking about it. After all, the village party secretary was the one who dealt directly with them. What if something happened to them?
What to do?
It wasn't until everyone learned that the new village party secretary was Ma Defu that they completely let go of their worries.
They all know Ma Defu very well, so there is no need to worry about being bullied. Moreover, he is Li Jie's son. If he is asked to be the party secretary, if any problems arise, his father will definitely come forward to help.
On this day, Ma Defu officially took office. Although he had been running home to ask his father for advice when he had free time recently, when this day came, he was still worried.
Not long after I got to work, before I even sat down to warm my butt, things started to happen.
"Defu, show me to my uncle. What is written in this letter?"
"Okay, Fifth Uncle, let me read it for you."
The visitor was Wudun from the village, one of the first Diaozhuang households to come to Jintan Village. Although he came early, as of today, his house has still not been built.
The house was not built yet, so Wudun could not let his wife and children live with him in the underground cellar. Therefore, his family still stayed in Yongquan Village, and the family could not see each other a few times from the beginning to the end of the year.
In the early 1990s, a telephone was undoubtedly a luxury item. The installation fee of several thousand yuan and the communication fee of a few cents per minute were enough to prohibit most people.
Therefore, writing letters became the only way for Wu Dun to communicate with his family. However, he was literate, so every time he received a letter, he had to be read to him by someone else, and then someone else would write a reply on his behalf.
In Jintan Village, there are many villagers like Wudun. The middle-aged people work hard in the resettlement sites, while the old and the weak stay at home. When they meet, they are like the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl in the legend. This is why most villagers do not like Diaozhuang.
one.
Wow!
Ma Defu spread out the letter paper and read slowly according to the handwriting on the paper.
"Dad: Everything is fine at home. Some time ago, the government just distributed relief food to us. My father's illness has improved a lot. Doctor Zhang in the village said that he will be completely healed after taking two more medicines."
"..."
"Mom said that we have enough money at home so that dad doesn't have to send money home anymore. Mom also said that when our school is on holiday in a while, we will take you to Jintan Village to see you."
In the house, Ma Defu read the letter in a melodious voice. Wu Dun, who was sitting aside, listened and listened. He felt as if his daughter was standing in front of him. When he thought of his daughter, whom he had not seen for several months, the corners of his eyes became wet unconsciously.
.
At the same time, Wu Dun secretly blamed himself, complained that he was timid, and complained that he was incompetent.
If he had taken a loan with others to raise sheep, maybe his current situation would be much better. Maybe the house has been built. Even if he can't build a big yard, there should be no problem with the two houses with mud walls.
With a shelter from the wind and rain, the children, the children's mother, and the children's father no longer have to stay in their hometown.
At this moment, a burst of anxious shouting suddenly came from outside the house.
"Uncle, uncle, come and check on me quickly, my sheep seems to be sick!"
The voice was heard before the person arrived, and Ma Defu immediately recognized the owner of the voice.
"Eh?"
As soon as Huwa entered the door and saw Ma Defu sitting in the room, he was surprised at first, and then suddenly realized that "Uncle Shui Shui" had resigned as the village party secretary, and now Brother Defu was appointed as the village party secretary.
However, Brother Defu is a technical secondary school student, and a technical secondary school student who graduated from an agricultural school, so it would be right to find him.
Seeing the eager look on Tiger Baby's face, Ma Defu no longer bothered to continue reading the letter to Uncle Wudun. After all, things had to be prioritized. At this stage, the 'sheep' was undoubtedly one of the most important assets of every household.
"Huwa, what's wrong with your sheep?"
"The sheep in our family seems to be sick. When we fed him this morning, he ate less than usual. He vomited it out after eating, and then ate it back into his stomach after vomiting."
Although the agricultural school did not teach how to raise sheep, since Jintan Village started raising sheep, Ma Defu has taught himself the relevant knowledge of sheep raising. If he doesn't understand something, he will basically ask his father as soon as possible.
As Huwa said, a sheep's loss of appetite coupled with rumination is indeed a precursor to sheep illness.
(Rumination, commonly known as cud chewing, refers to the return of semi-digested food from the stomach to the mouth after some animals, such as cows and sheep, chew it again)
"Don't worry, I'll go take a look with you right now."
After saying this, Ma Defu turned to look at Wu Dun and said in an apologetic tone.
"Uncle, how about I come back and read this letter to you later?"
Wudun nodded repeatedly and said: "Well, go quickly, don't delay the important event."
Afterwards, Ma Defu followed Huwa in a hurry to the sheepfold. On the way, Ma Defu asked while walking hurriedly.
"Huwa, have you noticed that your sheep have foam when they are regurgitated?"
"Uh...uh, I didn't pay attention."
"It's okay, by the way, and also, does your sheep have normal defecation? Is there any diarrhea?"
"No...no diarrhea, everything is fine and dry."
…
…
Ma Defu asked several questions in succession. Although he had not seen the sheep with his own eyes, he already had a rough idea.
I guess it's not a serious illness.
Depending on the situation, he should be able to handle it himself.
The two of them asked and answered questions like this, and soon arrived at the sheepfold of Huwa's house.
"Brother Defu, this is the one."
Arriving at the destination, Huwa smoothly led a little lamb to Ma Defu.
"Um, let's take a look first."
Ma Defu didn't mind the dirt on the wool at all. He squatted down and patiently inspected the sheep several times.
After checking inside and outside several times, Ma Defu made a judgment based on past experience.
"Huwa, your sheep is fine. It's probably due to an acid-base imbalance in its stomach."
"What?"
Huwa looked at Ma Defu with a greeting on his face and thought to himself, what is acid-base imbalance?
Ma Defu patted the dust on his hands and explained: "It's not a big problem. Later, you can follow me to the village to get some baking soda, and then give the lamb a drink in the water. I think it will be fine tomorrow."
"Really? That's great!"
Although he didn't fully understand the cause of the sheep's illness, when he heard that he would be well tomorrow, Huwa was overjoyed and grabbed Ma Defu's hand with excitement and said:
"Brother Defu, thank you, thank you!"
Ma Defu silently withdrew his hands, smiled and shook his head.
"Nothing, this is what I should do. Let's go, I will take you to get it now."
However, when the two returned to the village headquarters, they were blocked by Li Fuxiang. He came to complain. He said that XXX had borrowed fertilizer from their family and had not paid it back yet.
