Damai's son was born on May 15th, which is April 20th in the lunar calendar.
The nursery is very busy. Without the two people of Barley and Wheat, Ouyang Meihua cannot ask for leave anymore.
Fortunately, we are only busy at the beginning and end of the month, so she can help take care of him for a few days.
Yuan Man was also trying hard to learn to take care of his wife and son, so Ouyang Meihua went to work on the nursery at the end of the month. He and Grandma Li also took good care of Damai and the baby.
…
In June, the entrance to the cave at the foot of Nanshan Hot Spring was opened.
In July, the cave construction began.
Tourists were full of curiosity about the blocked south side, so the young tour guides publicized the cave in advance.
News has spread that Kushanli Scenic Area will add new attractions next year.
On November 11, County Magistrate Ji accompanied the provincial leaders to inspect the work in Kushanli Scenic Area.
Since there were so many tourists, they wore casual clothes to blend in with the tourists.
After spending two days in the Hot Spring Valley, I went to look for Li Zhengguo at the Nanshan Mountain of Hot Spring.
Li Zhengguo, who was speeding up the progress of the project, gave the matter to Zhang Shitou and took the leaders to visit the cave.
Walk slowly down the artificial steps from the entrance of the cave.
Not far away, there was a corridor, one hundred meters long, with hand-cut stone bars as a fence.
Standing on the corridor, you can overlook the panoramic view of the cave.
There are densely packed huge upside-down stalactites above the head, and water droplets are brewing on the stone tips of the stalactites.
Looking down, there are various stone pillars on the side of the mountain and in the middle of the cave. Under the illumination of the light angle, the stone pillars vividly show their god-like appearance.
Looking further down, I saw a river four meters wide.
The river runs north-south, and light shines in from the south end, and the sound of gurgling water can be heard.
There is no light at the north end, so the origin cannot be seen.
County Magistrate Ji found it strange that most rivers in the country flowed from west to east, but in this cave, they actually flowed from north to south.
Li Zhengguo explained: "The water in the north flows out from the cracks in the mountain."
"According to the Geological Survey's estimation, it should flow through the mountains from the north."
"The mountains in the north are covered with snow all year round, and it only slowly melts in summer."
"The explorers are very sure that going north from here, there will be caves."
"I don't have the energy to open other caves, so I'll leave it like this for now. The scenery here is pretty good and worth a visit."
"Let's go down and row along the river out of the cave entrance. Look outside the cave entrance and give me some advice."
Li Zhengguo's words aroused curiosity in this group of leaders.
Return to the steps and continue browsing.
Descending to a level parallel to the stone pillars, there is another corridor. From this corridor, the stones of the stone pillars look more like the gods themselves.
The stone pillars go straight to the top of the mountain, as if they are the pillars supporting the entire cave.
Going down to the bottom of the cave, the bottom of more than 3,000 square meters is cut in half by the river.
On the opposite bank are various stone platforms with stalagmites and flowers. On top of these stone platforms, stalagmites and flowers have water flowing down and falling into the river.
Where they were standing was divided into rooms by numerous stone pillars.
Looking up, the stalactites at the top, which are more than 30 meters high, look wonderful under the illumination of colored lights.
In the river, several wooden boats docked on the shore.
Li Zhengguo picked up the life jacket hanging on the stone railing on the shore and gave one to each leader. The river was more than five meters deep, so it was safe to wear a life jacket.
Li Zhengguo acted as the boatman and paddled the wooden boat towards the south end of the cave.
After exiting the cave, the dazzling sunlight made people close their eyes involuntarily.
After they got used to the light outside the cave, they opened their eyes again. Everyone opened their mouths in surprise.
What caught their eyes was a winding stream, the slope of which slowly dropped.
Within sight, the end of the stream was obscured by mountains.
However, their boat stayed on the horizontal surface outside the cave and did not slowly slide down the river.
County Magistrate Ji asked what everyone was saying: "Li Zhengguo, where does the stream lead to?"
Li Zhengguo smiled: "That's why I don't know what to do. If you go down the river from here, it will be a big pool."
"The pool is very deep, and from there, the water flows even slower."
"I swam along this river, and after going down to the pool, there was a fairly straight stream. At the end of the stream was the long and thin Wuli ditch with a curve of Wuli slope."
"The villagers in this area all know that the water in Wuligou comes from the mountains. I think everyone may not have thought that such a beautiful river flows down."
"I have thought about developing this river and extending it down the river, but who owns Wulipo Bend? Are we in Kushan qualified to drive there?"
"I'm not afraid of Wang'er Village, I'm afraid that Lishi Village will seize ownership rights. The first bend of Wulipo Bend belongs to Lishi Village."
Several leaders understood Li Zhengguo's last words.
Villagers love to compete for territory. As long as it belongs to them, they will not give it to others if it is useless.
The provincial leader just pondered for a moment before giving his opinion:
"Kushanli scenic spot is divided into the county tourism bureau, eight of which are occupied by Kushanli and two by the tourism bureau."
Li Zhengguo sighed, he knew that Kushanli Scenic Area would no longer be privately owned by Kushanli.
County Magistrate Ji glanced at Li Zhengguo and added: "I will ask the Tourism Bureau to occupy Wuligou. This can be regarded as the Tourism Bureau's investment in Kushanli Scenic Area."
"Go ahead and widen the Wuli Valley to the Ku River. Use a shuttle bus by the Ku River to send tourists back to Ku Mountain."
Li Zhengguo nodded: "It's just that the rafting in Wang'er Village will be affected."
County Magistrate Ji doesn't care about Wang'er Village, Kushanli is the big one:
"Both the big rafting and the small rafting have their own ways to play. After the opening of this rafting, the hot springs will still be free, and the combined ticket price will increase to 100 yuan. The scenery of this rafting alone is worth it."
Provincial leaders also agreed: "The original combined ticket price was a bit low. The prices in the scenic area are also very reasonable. Other prices remain unchanged for the time being, and it is necessary to increase the ticket price."
…
After seeing off the leaders, Li Zhengguo immediately went to the county to handle relevant procedures.
After all the procedures were completed, Li Zhengguo notified the villagers that the Hot Spring Valley Scenic Area was no longer a village collective property. If you have any questions, please go to the village committee bulletin board to read the announcement.
Villagers don’t understand how collective industries became state-owned.
After reading the explanation in the announcement, what they wanted to know was the issue of dividends.
Li Zhengguo posted another announcement, saying that 80% of Kushanli's income was still 37% with the villagers.
The villagers made a private estimate with Zhang Shitou and found out that the income they received would definitely increase, so they went back to work with peace of mind.
Zhou Chengbin was called back by Village Chief Li. Both of them were tanned but in good spirits.
Zhou Chengbin became calm and calm, and treated people like Village Chief Li.
Zhou Chengbin looked after the village, while Li Zhengguo took Zhang Shitou to develop Wuligou.
As soon as he started construction, Lishi Village really stopped working.
Not long ago, Wuligou was occupied by the County Tourism Bureau, actually for Kushanli.
Why do all the good things happen to Kushanli Village?
How many of their outer villages are so unpopular with the county?
No matter how Zhang Shitou explained that Wuligou and Kushanli Scenic Area were connected together, the villagers of Lishi Village disagreed.
Why not let them develop it? Since it is connected with Kushanli Scenic Area, then they can develop it together with Kushanli.
After forcing Li Zhengguo and others to stop work, the villagers of Lishi Village collectively went to the county to demand an explanation.
