80s Taoism

People in Yingpan Village rushed over one by one when they heard the news of the mountain spring water coming out.

Gu Zhuansheng choked up and said, "It's been more than ten years! I haven't had a good bath at home!"

Carrying a load of water takes six or seven miles of rough and difficult mountain roads. Who would be willing to take a good bath with such precious water? In summer, the man is fine. When you want to take a bath, you can go a little farther and take a good bath in the river. It is more troublesome for women to take a bath. It's really embarrassing to go to the river to take a bath in broad daylight.

"Reincarnation, you can do whatever you want to wash tonight. Get your mother-in-law a straw tray (a straw pot, a pot for scalding a pig when slaughtering a pig. You can soak the whole pig in it) and scald it with boiling water." Gu Yongyi laughed.

Gu Zhuansheng's mother-in-law Guo Huanlan chuckled and said, "Brother Yongyi, you should help Siye Siye prepare the grass tray."

Gu Yongyi's mother-in-law, Li Siye, laughed loudly: "Guo Huanlan, you bastard, I didn't get you, why did you scold me for coming? You can scold them both if you want to scold them."

Guo Huanlan apologized again and again: "Sister Siye, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, if you want to blame, you have to blame your lax parenting, who made Yongyi brother talk nonsense."

Gu Yongyi also laughed loudly: "Which one is as useless as reincarnation? It's embarrassing for the men in our Yingpan village."

"You don't come here to tease other people's wives, and you don't know how to go back and bring the bucket over here. A drop of water in the water tank at home will bubble up." Li Siye said dissatisfied.

Gu Yongyi didn't dare to say too much, and walked home with his head drooping.

"Uncle Yongyi, why don't you just give Aunt Siye a slap in the face? I thought you could win over the men in Yingpan Village." Gu Zhuansheng immediately laughed.

"Gu Zhuansheng, everyone knows how to go home and fetch a bucket. If I don't ask, you don't know how to get up and down. Do you want to sip for dinner?" Guo Huanlan also wanted to take a good bath. As soon as I saw this water, my body itched unbearably.

Gu Yongyi and Gu Zhuansheng are notoriously afraid of women in the village, but these two people want to save face the most, and they always like to pretend that they are not afraid of women in front of others. This time, his face was swollen by his mother-in-law in front of the whole village.

Gu Baishui said loudly to the villagers: "Don't forget the well digger when you drink water. Everyone is drinking mountain spring water now, but everyone must not forget that this water was found by Zhang Guan. Zhang Guan came to our village. While treating our salinization, he also found mountain spring water for us. From now on, everyone must cooperate with Zhang Jiaohua's work. I know that there are still people in our village who are resentful. Some people lost their money. But looking back, can this matter be blamed on Cadre Zhang? Cadre Zhang is a cadre sent by the party organization. Can he turn a blind eye when he encounters something illegal? In fact, even if Cadre Zhang does not report the immoral thing like buying and selling women, this kind of thing can still be covered with paper for a lifetime?"

People in Yingpan village whispered, everyone still admired Zhang Jiaohua for the saline-alkali transformation. Yingpan Village has been without water for so long, and no one thought of controlling salinization. When Zhang Jiaohua came, this matter became clear.

As for the spring water, it is a bit weird. If there is spring water here, how could the villagers not know about it? After the water was cut off, the villagers dug many wells everywhere, but no water came out. Even if the water is finally produced, the salinization is relatively serious, and it is not drinkable at all. Unexpectedly, Zhang Jiaohua found mountain spring water on this mountain.

"Look, this water outlet seems to have just been dug out." Gu Runshu suddenly shouted on the hillside.

The villagers ran up quickly, and they saw a pile of new soil piled up next to the opening where the spring water came out. This soil is fresh soil that has just been dug out.

"Director Zhang, did you dig out the spring?" Gu Taitian asked.

Zhang Jiaohua laughed and said, "How is it possible? I can't get in such a small hole!"

"Then how did you find out here?" Gu Runshu asked puzzled.

"I was going to climb up the mountain from here today to find a spring, but I found a cave dug here by some animal. I didn't expect that after a while, I saw a pangolin running out, and then the mountain spring gushed out. Maybe the pangolin opened up the mountain spring." Zhang Jiaohua said.

"It should be. It is the pangolin. This is also God's blessing. The pangolin has solved the drinking water problem in our Yingpan village." Gu Runshu sighed.

"While everyone is here, I have a preliminary idea. Now that there is mountain spring water, let's build a water tower here, and then use water pipes to guide the water down the mountain and deliver it to each household. In the future, every household will have tap water, so we don't have to travel so far to fetch water. In this way, the water source is also protected and it is not easy to get dirty. What do you think?" Zhang Jiaohua asked.

"Officer Zhang, you don't know the basic situation of our village. It costs a lot of money to get running water, and the villagers in our village can't afford it," Gu Runshu said.

"You don't need to pay for this, you can apply to the country for the rural tap water renovation project. It just needs everyone's cooperation." Zhang Jiaohua said.

"If you don't pay, we all support it! From now on, you can directly collect water at home!" Gu Taitian laughed.

Everyone is looking forward to the grand occasion when the village will have running water in the future.

"It's useless to think so far, Mr. Zhang. This spring is so big that it can be used to irrigate rice fields in addition to drinking. It is impossible to grow rice now. But we can grow winter wheat for a season. We can harvest it in early spring. It can barely allow us to receive early rice harvest." Gu Runshu said.

"You can also grow some rapeseed. After so many years of no rapeseed, it's time to add some oil and water." Gu Taitian also said.

"I support the restoration of agricultural production as soon as possible. But while restoring agricultural production, I also hope that everyone will think carefully about my previous suggestions. Even if the salinization transformation is completed, at most it can help Yingpan Village solve the problem of food and clothing. There is no way to completely change the poverty of Yingpan Village. There is no way to make all the bachelors in Yingpan Village find wives. Therefore, I still hope that from now on, we will make a good plan, go ahead of others, build a modern agricultural estate, and combine agricultural production with tourism. Everyone can find opportunities to make money. Young people don’t have to leave their hometowns to work in distant places. The children in our village don’t have to live like children without parents.” Zhang Jiaohua said.
