Dashan Makes a Living 1984

Now Wang Dabao seldom hears that anyone is still having conflicts, it seems that those conflicts suddenly disappeared with the busyness.

Neighbors are also very friendly.

As the captain, he was both happy and boring.

I even miss the busy state at the time.

These are all bonuses when people's lives get better. When life has a good start, who wants to fight each other.

Let's make money together and live a good life, isn't it good?

And the improvement of the surrounding environment also feeds back to Wang Tianxiao.

Now that he is back in the village, he can see everyone living happily everywhere. No matter which door he walks to, everyone is very enthusiastic when they see him, and they insist on dragging him in for dinner. The fruit will be too full to fit.

It made him happy too.

Although everyone relied on him to live a prosperous life, the relationship between them was not that kind of indifferent employment relationship.

Otherwise, no one would treat him like this.

That's fine.

He hoped that the team and even the people in the village would live well.

In this way, he seemed to have returned to a paradise.

And these...

This was what he had always wanted in his previous life.

The medicinal materials were almost planted, and it was supposed to be the time to go all out to build the sheepfold, but once the ninth month of the lunar calendar passed, it could snow anytime.

It seems to be more likely to snow in this age.

As soon as the tenth month of the lunar calendar comes, it is estimated that snow will fall once a week. Unlike later generations, the climate has become warmer, and the temperature of minus 20 degrees is rarely seen, so the snow in Qingcheng has gradually become rare. Sometimes there are not a few games in one winter.

If the snow falls and the ground is about to freeze, then basically nothing can be done.

The ground will gradually become more and more frozen and deeper. If you want to start working on infrastructure construction again, you may have to wait until next spring.

Therefore, Wang Tianxiao's original idea was to build the sheep pen before it was frozen, so that in the spring of next year, he could directly enter the lamb, and his breeding business would officially start.

However, because of the flood a few months ago, many people's homes were destroyed.

You need to build a house first.

Although not every house is like Wang Tianxiao, who built three courtyards in one row, but at least a few rooms must be built.

Otherwise, the temperature drops to more than twenty degrees below zero in winter, and there is no way to live.

So Liu Mang has been very busy recently, with so many projects that he can't finish it.

Almost many companies started at the same time.

Zhang Wenyuan took Wang Tianxiao's suggestion and reached an agreement with the government to help people rebuild their homes at a very low price.

Basically, it covers 60 to 70% of the affected families.

It was difficult for Liu Mang to receive orders before, so the team has never been very big. He did not expect that after joining the company of Zhang Wenyuan and Wang Tianxiao, he would suddenly become so busy, and there were so many orders that he could not finish. Naturally, he was very happy.

Work harder.

It's just that he is busy building the house, so he has no time to take care of Wang Tianxiao's sheep pen.

Wang Tianxiao had no choice but to temporarily abandon the idea of ​​seeing the new sheepfold this winter.

His sheepfold is no small matter. It takes a lot of effort to build a modern and scientific sheepfold according to his design.

Then wait.

There is no rush for the time being, just a little bit.

Anyway, in addition to the sheepfold and the construction of his family's house, there is another very important project.

That is the water source problem of the station.

Some time ago, he had communicated with the engineer of the Water Conservancy Bureau introduced by Zhang Wenyuan for a long time on this issue, and others had also visited the site.

After detailed calculation, I feel that although the cost is a bit higher, there are still many ways to send water up.

Not entirely impossible.

And a scheme for transporting water is given.

When Wang Tianxiao saw the plan, he thought it was very good. The only problem was that the construction cost was nearly 200,000 yuan, and when it was used later, electricity and maintenance costs were also a problem.

Not really low.

This is the only problem with the construction plan.

But after Wang Tianxiao went to the scene several times with the detailed plan, he immediately agreed.

Signed a project contract with the construction unit under the Water Conservancy Bureau.

Water conservancy projects are meant for the predecessors to plant trees and the descendants to enjoy the shade, and there must always be someone to do this kind of thing.

Water is needed for people in forest farms to eat and drink, to plant medicine fields, and even for sheep pens to be built at the foot of the mountain.

Moreover, Wang Tianxiao has a bigger idea. If this project is done well, is it equivalent to a water station?

At that time, everyone will no longer need to pull a flatbed truck to fetch water several miles away, but turn on the faucet in their own yard to release clean and clear water. Isn't that great.

It is a great merit to benefit the village.

Who knew, this matter turned out to be much more difficult than imagined.

Originally, the engineer selected the final place where the well fell based on observation and instrument measurements, and planned to dig a large well with a diameter of five meters.

Then take the water out of the ground first, build a water tower on the flat ground, which can be regarded as a huge tank, and then send the water to the station.

There is nothing wrong with this idea.

The well and the sink are running at the same time, going hand in hand without affecting each other.

But I never expected that the original well-explored water source was dug down forty meters, but there was still no shadow of water.

This is embarrassing.

Engineers also have a hard time understanding it, thinking that the status quo is beyond their knowledge.

Because this project not only requires civil engineering, but also a lot of mechanical equipment and pipelines. At the same time as civil construction, mechanical pipelines and equipment have also begun to be produced.

If the water level here is deeper, the pipeline can be refilled, but the produced pump head will not be enough.

That would be really troublesome.

The mechanical production of this era is different from that of later generations.

In later generations, due to the full blooming of industry, many products are standardized.

People design engineering projects, and they are all configured according to the actual load of the machinery, so the production enterprises basically produce according to the standard specifications.

But in this day and age, there is not much demand for equipment.

Many standards have not been established, so they are all non-standard production specifications.

Basically, after the design plan comes out, it will be processed and detailed according to the design plan, and then the supporting equipment will be produced.

Once started, and then re-designed, the original equipment will be scrapped.

It is undoubtedly very difficult to wait for the next person who just needs it.

Now the problem is troublesome.

Since no water was detected, it proved that the address chosen at that time was wrong.

The head of the water pump is designed to be 50 meters. Considering that it is generally difficult for the equipment to reach the set head, or if it has been running at full load, the equipment will be damaged very quickly.

Seeing this pump, it seems that it will not be used.

This is no small matter.

Even in this day and age, the price of a pump is not cheap, if something goes wrong, it is an engineering accident.

It's nothing to Wang Tianxiao, since he's in Party A anyway, but it's basically fatal to the construction and design personnel.

Wang Tianxiao didn't know about this situation at first.

He went to the bottom of the mountain every few days to see the progress.

But this time I found that the progress between three days ago and now is basically zero, so I asked the reason and got this dumbfounding result.

Wang Tianxiao was also a little puzzled.

He had actually seen this place at the time, and he thought basically the same as the prospecting engineer.

It is believed that there will be water at most 40 meters here.

Moreover, the vicinity of this location is relatively flat, which is convenient for equipment transportation, and it is also convenient for building a water tower next to it.

Even if it is maintained or repaired later, it is quite convenient.

Either way, it's a good location.

So when he saw the design and construction plan, he had no opinion.

Who knows, this is exactly what went wrong.

"Boss Wang, this matter is a bit evil. We have continued to dig five meters down from the original foundation. Look, this is the soil dug up."

Wang Tianxiao took the soil, pinched it, and found that the soil seemed to be a little wet compared to the previous one, but it was still a little wet.

It didn't reach the state of being out of the water.

After the actual digging in place, the soil is very moist, and even water can be squeezed out with a pinch.

But now the soil is just a little damp, as if it had been hit by dew in the morning.

"This doesn't look like soil that can produce water. Is there really something wrong with this position?"

Wang Tianxiao was also speechless.

"Yeah, to be honest, I haven't encountered such a situation yet."

Speaking is the person in charge of this project, whose surname is Li, and everyone calls him Li Gong.

"Then what should we do now, Li Gong, do you have any alternatives?"

Li Gong showed embarrassment.

"It stands to reason that we are just a construction team, and we do it according to the design drawings. If there is no water here, we are also very embarrassed. The rest depends on how the design side changes the plan."

"But this, isn't it a matter of investigation?"

"This... this is true."

Li Gong looked even more embarrassed.

"To tell you the truth, because there are relatively few professional surveyors in our office, so it is called survey, and the person in charge of the construction usually goes to the site to see it. Sometimes it is inevitable that there will be problems."

"Then the surveyor here is the engineer who came here earlier."

"He quit, how can he send me over?"

"All right."

Wang Tianxiao was also speechless.

He thought about it, and felt that he couldn't be too easy to talk about this kind of thing recently.

If the matter is not delayed, it may become a mess in the future.

"Then you should report it quickly and come up with an improvement plan. We have signed a construction contract, which has a clear construction time. If there is a delay, we will be held accountable for breach of time."

"I know this too, I'm not trying to find a way."

Li Gong also knew the seriousness of the problem, but he looked helpless.

It seems that the status quo is indeed difficult for him.

There was no way, Wang Tianxiao had no choice but to start to think of a way himself.

He continued walking along the ravine, wanting to see where the stream in the valley came from.

Since the stream can produce water, why is there no water when the location he chose is tens of meters underground?

This unscientific.

After walking a few miles, Wang Tianxiao came to the edge of the stream.

Because it is now the transition season of autumn and winter, the stream in the valley, which was originally quite smooth, has become much smaller and quieter now.

He continued to walk up the stream, and after walking for an unknown amount of time, he found that the original end of the stream was a mountain wall.

Water flows from the inside of the mountain wall.

Wang Tianxiao looked at the altitude at which the stream came out, not to mention high, but it was far above the level of the well digging site, not to mention tens of meters underground.

This is the strange thing.

Emotion is that there is water on the ground, but it disappears when it gets under the ground.

This is not a joke.

He walked along the edge of the stream and walked towards the water outlet with great effort.

Wanted to see what was going on in that place.

Kewangshan ran dead horses, seeing that the place is not far away, but because there is a stream in the middle, it really takes some time to walk across.

After walking for more than two hours, I bypassed the current and reached the opposite side.

However, just when he was about to move forward, he found miraculously that on the opposite side of the stream, in the mouth of the two peaks, there was an old man fishing by the stream.

Behind him, there is an exaggeratedly small house.

this……

Wang Tianxiao swears that this is the most surprising scene of his rebirth in this world.

Although he has never been to this location, he should have visited the nearby places many times, but he has never seen a house here before.

He thought that there was no one else staying in this mountain.

Could this be some kind of hermit?

With curiosity in his heart, he came to the old man, squatted beside him, and saw a small fish basket next to the old man, and no fish was caught in it for the time being.

Old Air Force.

"Uncle, you are fishing here, can you catch fish?"

Wang Tianxiao asked the old man curiously.

"ah……"

The old man suddenly opened his eyes and was surprised to see Wang Tianxiao squatting beside him.

"Where did your doll come from?"

"Isn't it over there?" Wang Tianxiao pointed to the opposite side of the water, "I'm our forest ranger in Yangziling, and I live in the yard over there."

"It turned out to be a ranger."

"Hello, forest ranger. Watch out for the trees not to be cut down, and protect the animals here from being killed. This is a great merit, little boy."

The old man is kind-hearted, and his gray beard is more than a foot long.

His face was covered with wind and frost, but Wang Tianxiao could not see the slightest decay, but a kind of soft tranquility.

It was as if time had used a gentle knife to slowly draw countless marks on his face.

"Why are you fishing here?"

"If there are fish here, I'll catch them. Let me tell you, although Yangzixi is small, it's a hidden dragon. Maybe I can catch one."

Wang Tianxiao saw the old man's optimistic and mysterious look.

I thought to myself, this is not the world of fairy tales.

What kind of fish are you catching?

"Master, have you been living here?"

"There's no way people can live here. I'm just here to fish. But what are you doing here? You can find such a remote place."

It was only then that Wang Tianxiao remembered that he still had business to do.

Reluctantly, he simply told the old man about the situation.

The old man laughed when he heard it.

"You young people, you don't look at the cause and effect of everything you do. The place you chose is indeed flat now, but you have thought about it before, and you haven't thought about it before, what kind of place was there?"

Huh.

Wang Tianxiao didn't expect to encounter this kind of talk here.

From what the old man said, he seemed to know something.

"Uncle, what do you mean?"

"Let me tell you, the east side of Yangziling didn't look like this decades ago. When I was a child, this side was a cliff. Isn't this the earthquake more than 30 years ago, which caused the mountain here to collapse? The location you are talking about now is the collapsed soil."

"Oh, I see. You mean, the position over there is lower, isn't it?"

"Well, for this reason. Yangziling was originally a canyon, and it was filled up after it collapsed, so it looks like a flat land instead. You guys, this kind of thing should be studied more. Why did you just dig it?"

Wang Tianxiao smiled wryly.

Ask him, he still wants to ask those people.

An old man knows such important information, why don't they know it.

Let's see what happened.

He probably understood what the uncle meant.

Since the place where the excavation was originally a canyon was compacted by the collapsed loess, the terrain under the loess cannot be regarded as a normal terrain at all.

Although the underground water will slowly infiltrate, it is not something that can be done in such a short time.

In other words, if you want to dig in that place, you must dig deeper, at least the depth of a canyon.

This is not nonsense.

However, I am very lucky to get this news today.

"Uncle, where is your home?"

"It's over there, Zhao Family Village."

The old man pointed behind the mountain.

Zhaojia Village is the village where the four brothers stole the tree last time, to the east of Yangziling.

As the villages around Yangziling, Zhaojia Village is the only village that cannot go directly to Yangziling.

Needless to say, Yangziling is next to other peaks to the west, Mijia Village to the east, Shangliu Village and Wangjia Village to the back, cliffs to the south, and Zhaojia Village to the bottom of the cliff.

If they want to go up to Yangziling, they must not come directly from the cliff.

For example, the last time I came to steal a tree, I sneaked up from the south path of Mijia Village.

Thinking of those guys back then, Wang Tianxiao felt that time passed so quickly.

Nearly a year has passed in the blink of an eye.

"Why, do you know Zhao Family Village?"

Wang Tianxiao smiled: "How can you not know, it's not too far from here."

"That's true."

"Uncle, you just said that you knew it decades ago?"

"Of course, I'm a native of Zhaojia Village. I'm sure I know the changes here. Besides, old man, when I was young, I helped people dig wells. I know whether you can get water."

"So you must know where the water comes from?"

"Of course I know."

Wang Tianxiao was ecstatic.

No wonder in martial arts novels, you can meet strange people at the bottom of the mountain, sincerity is not deceiving.

There was no other way to do this, but seeing an old man who knows how to dig wells appear, I can only say that luck is really great.

"Uncle, please help us to find out, which is the most suitable place to dig a well near us. Don't worry, as long as you pump out the water, I will definitely pay you well."

"How much can I give?"

"Um?"

"How much can you give me?"

Wang Tianxiao smiled, the old man was straightforward, without any intention of beating around the bush.

"How much do you need?"

"One hundred yuan." The old man was straightforward.

Wang Tianxiao smiled, now a hundred yuan is hardly considered money to him.

"The minimum of eighty cannot be lowered."

"Haha, Uncle, listen to me..."

"One price, 50 yuan, if you bargain with me again, then don't come to me. I used to show wells for people, and the minimum price was this. If you can't afford 50 yuan, then don't talk about it." .”

"Just a hundred yuan!"

Wang Tianxiao couldn't help but laugh, this old man is really an interesting person.

You say he is impatient, he went fishing in such a place alone.

If you want to say that you have a stable temper, he hasn't said anything yet, he directly said a lot, and he bargained with himself.

One hundred yuan was killed by himself to fifty yuan in a blink of an eye.

"Uncle, money is not a problem, you just need to help us find the most suitable water source, one hundred yuan is one hundred yuan."

"Really?" The old man was so excited that he couldn't hold his fishing rod anymore.

"of course it's true."

"Then what are you waiting for, go now."

The old man stood up straight away, put away the fishing rod, and threw it in through the window gap of the small room.

"Come on, let's go see it now."

"This...Uncle, slow down, don't fall down."

"I will fall, and you don't even look at who I am. Remember when I was running in the mountains, your baby was not born yet?"

The old man's footsteps were not slow, and he flew up quickly on the grass with one kick high and the other low.

It can be said that he is walking like flying.

Wang Tianxiao was a little worried at first, but after walking for a while, he found that his worry was unnecessary.

The old man really did what he said, he didn't take this mountain seriously.

It's strange to say that there is such a miraculous person that I have never met before.

It can only be said that the place he stayed in was really too remote.

When Wang Tianxiao came, he walked and watched, so he walked very slowly. When he returned, he was led by the old man, but his speed was very fast.

In a blink of an eye, we arrived at the place where the well was going to be dug under the station.

After arriving, he found that Li Gong was still looking around, but couldn't find a suitable solution.

Seeing Wang Tianxiao come back, his face was still full of sadness.

"Li Gong, come, let me introduce you to a master."

"A master?"

Li Gong looked at the old man standing beside Wang Tianxiao, and couldn't understand what Wang Tianxiao was talking about.

So Wang Tianxiao briefly explained what the old man said.

Li Gong was also very surprised.

If there has been an earthquake here, the terrain will indeed change. If you don't know this information and study it with the current terrain, there will definitely be problems.

"I understand. No wonder the extracted soil is moist, but it's not moist enough. It must be because the groundwater hasn't penetrated yet."

Li Gong suddenly realized, and soon felt very embarrassed.

Thinking about it, they are all professional engineers, but they made such a low-level mistake, which shows that the work is not very solid.

It's really hard to get along.

Wang Tianxiao was keenly aware of the change in Li Gong's mood, and knew that it was useless to say these things now, and since everything had happened, he didn't want to keep entangled with him.

It doesn't make much sense to pursue responsibility, after all, they belong to the public.

If things can be done quickly with the help of the old man, this is the most important thing.

What he needs is to solve the problem and send water to the station before the ground freezes.
