Chapter 143 Water

Although Zhao Shucheng has solved the problem of electrification, the problem that needs to be solved most at present is the problem of drinking water and irrigation water.

Although the Yellow River is not very far from Yuquanying, the upper management also said that it will solve the irrigation water problem for Jintan Village.However, the planned Yellow River pumping station has no shadow at all now, and it will take until 97 to wait until it is actually completed.

Don't think of a way to solve the water problem before this?Farmers in the field don't wait for anyone. Although they are all newcomers this year and have not solved the problem of sand and gravel in the land, they will definitely grow grain next year.

People without long-term considerations must have near-term worries, so it is urgent to solve the irrigation problem.

Jintan Village actually has abundant groundwater, but because there is no electricity, even if a tractor is used to dig a well, there is no way to pump water without electricity, and there is no way to irrigate the ground.

In fact, water for irrigation is not the most important problem to be solved, but drinking water is the most important.The water I drink now is the Yellow River water that is pulled from the pumping station, but because the Yellow River is mixed with silt, it is directly two ounces of sand per catty, and the taste is much worse than that of ground water.

Zhao Shucheng's idea now is to dig a well as soon as possible, otherwise it will be too late next year.

At this stage, working locally can’t make much money, and it’s even more like a dream to earn enough money to drill wells.

Zhao Shucheng can only wait for his manuscript fee to arrive. Only when the manuscript fee arrives can he have the confidence to fight well and not attract attention.It can also let the villagers know that reading is really useful and can earn more money.

Thanks to Zhao Shucheng taking the lead in building brick and tile houses, many people who go home to take care of the farmland in their hometown know that they can really make a fortune here. Diaozhuang immigrants are very enthusiastic. In half a year, Jintan Village has gathered more than [-] households, which is more than the original plot. Much better in .

As more and more people live in adobe houses, the original Diwozi has become a resettlement site for new immigrants. Their current conditions are much better than when Zhao Shucheng and others came here.

When Zhao Shucheng saw Director Zhang and Ma Defu, he couldn't help asking: "Director Zhang, Team Leader Ma, when will the power supply issue in our village be resolved?"

"We are communicating with the power supply bureau, and we will definitely be able to solve this problem for us as soon as possible."

Zhao Shucheng looked at the other party and said, "I think you should report back to the higher authorities. We don't have a water pumping station here, so we can only irrigate the farmland with a motorized well. If we don't have electricity, we can't stay any longer. Sooner or later we will all run back. "

"As long as the electricity is connected, we can repair the land. Not to mention other things, we can rent machines to repair the land, which is much faster, and we can produce grain here next year."

Zhang Shucheng thought it made sense when he heard what Zhao Shucheng said, but the matter of electrification is not something that one person can do. It can only be done by the superiors and the power supply bureau.

"I will consider the matter you mentioned. By the way, this is your letter. It was placed in the Diaozhuang Office before, so I brought it here for you by the way. By the way, do you have any relationship with other places? This letter is very heavy .”

When Zhao Shucheng heard that his letter had arrived, he took it excitedly and said, "Well, it's here. Thank you Director Zhang."

Zhang Shucheng looked at Zhao Shucheng who was running into the house, and asked curiously: "Defu, Ernst & Young Fu is from Xihaigu, right? Why do you have a relationship with Beijing?"

Ma Defu was also a little puzzled by this, so he could only guess and say, "Maybe they have some relatives in their family."

Shuihua also saw Zhao Shucheng rushing into the room, and asked curiously, "Defu, what's wrong?"

Zhao Shucheng said: "Daughter-in-law, we have replied to the article we wrote earlier."

As he spoke, he opened the envelope. In addition to a new edition of the book, there was also a letter inside. It said that the book written by Zhao Shucheng had a high intention.

Zhao Shucheng opened the magazine, saw the money order in the magazine at a glance, and counted it, it was 2000 yuan.

Shuihua also saw the letter and the remittance slip, and asked excitedly, "Yongfu, is it really a remittance slip?"

"Yes, it's a money order. Our family has money."

"There's money, there's money!"

Shuihua kept chanting this sentence, this remittance slip was probably the biggest money she had ever seen in the first half of her life, which made her a little at a loss.

"Yong Fu, how do you plan to spend this money?"

Shuihua stared at Zhao Shucheng, trying to know what the other party was planning.

Zhao Shucheng looked at Shuihua and said: "Shuihua, I plan to use the money to build a motorized well. We don't have a pumping station or even a motorized well. If you want to drink water, you have to go to a motorized well a few kilometers away to buy it. It's not worth it at all. .”

"After the Russians have drilled the motorized well, they can be used by the villagers. When the time comes, it will be a pain point. Just charge the electricity bill."

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

When Shuihua heard Zhao Shucheng's plan, she thought for a while and did not refuse, because she knew too much the pain of water shortage, so she didn't care whether the money was spent on her family.

What's more, she is very clear that Zhao Shucheng is not the only one who contributes to this magazine, but also contributes to other magazines, and even directly submits a book to the publishing house. Zhao Shucheng once said that publishing books is the most profitable thing.

She now feels that she doesn't have to worry about money. What she has to do now is to quickly clean up the six acres of land in her family, and she will definitely have a good harvest next year.

Zhao Shucheng took the remittance slip and went to the ready-made bank to exchange it for cash. By the way, he also took out a lot of cash from his portable space. After checking that there was no difference, he felt relieved.

Taking the money, I went to the construction team who drilled the well, and explained that there was no electricity. The other party frowned, and seemed reluctant.

"You don't have electricity in this place, you can only try to drill with a machine, and the cost will be high at that time, can you accept it?"

Zhao Shucheng heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this, as long as he could drill a well, there would be no major problem.

"The price is easy to say, how much do you think it will cost?"

"Yes, if we use electric power to drill wells, we only need 3000 yuan, but if we use diesel engines to drill wells, we need 5000 yuan. Don't think the price is high, because diesel engines need to consume diesel oil. Nothing to do."

Zhao Shucheng could accept the price and said: "I can accept the price, but I want you to go to Jintan Village to dig wells tomorrow. If you can do it, we will pay 5000 yuan. If not, we need to lower the price. "

"That's no problem. We'll take the equipment with us tomorrow, but you need to hire a water truck separately. It will cost water to dig a well."

"In this way, you should have a matching water truck here, take it with you, and pay you the rent, how about it?"

"Okay, no problem, but the rent is [-], and the gas fee is extra."

Zhao Shucheng thought about it for a while and didn't continue to bargain. After all, the most important thing is to let Jintan Village have an organic well as soon as possible.

After Zhao Shucheng finished dealing with this matter, he went shopping at Readymade and bought some pancakes, which he would bring back for Li Shuihua to taste.

On the way back, Zhao Shucheng thought about his own land preparation, but because there is no electricity yet, and it is too late to plant this year, so he did not hire machines, and planned to wait until the spring and flowers bloom before leveling the land.

After seeing Zhao Shucheng's return, Li Shuihua asked curiously, "Where's the money?"

Seeing Li Shuihua's appearance as a money fan, Zhao Shucheng directly handed over the 2000 yuan that he took out to the other party, letting her enjoy the addiction of a rich man.

While counting the money, Li Shuihua looked at Zhao Shucheng's bulging bag and asked, "Master, what's in your bag?"

Zhao Shucheng took out the pancakes he bought and said, "Dangdang, this is a famous local fried pancake. It tastes very good. I bought it for you. Try it!"

Shuihua really wanted you to taste it at first, but when he got the pancakes and brought them to his mouth, he suddenly asked about the smell of oil and felt a little disgusted, so he couldn't help but dropped the pancakes and ran out to vomit.

When Zhao Shucheng saw her like this, he couldn't help but think of how his women were pregnant before, probably Shui Hua was pregnant.I haven't been idle for the past few months, and I try to do bridal chamber candles every night. There is a high probability that Shuihua will become pregnant.

The water flower finally finished vomiting, looked at the pancakes on the table with distaste, and said, "Why does this pancake taste so strong, you can eat it yourself, I won't eat it, I still like potatoes."

"Daughter-in-law, do you think you are pregnant?"

Shuihua didn't think about it at first, but was stunned when he heard Zhao Shucheng's words, and asked half-belief, "Is it possible?"

"Of course it's possible, daughter-in-law, how long has it been since your relatives came?"

Shui Hua froze for a moment, thought for a while and said, "That one hasn't come since getting married, and she often came late at home before, I thought it was normal."

"It must have been. You came late because you didn't eat well and were malnourished. But in the past two months, although we often ate potatoes, we occasionally ate meat, so there will be no malnutrition."

"I really have it?"

"Nine times out of ten, let's go to the hospital for an examination tomorrow. If there is really one, daughter-in-law, from today onwards, you don't have to do heavy work anymore, and leave all the big and small things at home to me."

"How can I be so delicate, just be careful and I'll be fine. When my mother gave birth to me, she was almost in labor and was still working in the field and watering. Otherwise, why would I be called a water flower."

"That's different. You are the first child, so you must be careful. Besides, there is nothing to do here now, and the field will not be able to grow anything for a while. Next year, we will reorganize the land and use machines directly. Three or two days It can be done."

"It doesn't cost money, it's better to save money by doing it yourself."

When Shuihua heard that Zhao Shucheng wanted to hire machines to work, his heart ached.

Although life has improved a lot in Diao Zhuang, Shuihua has spent a lot of money.Just building a house costs several thousand yuan, and now it costs several thousand yuan to drill a well. When it comes time to repair the land, it will cost at least a few hundred yuan.

"Daughter-in-law, don't worry, you've seen it too. The stories we write are published in magazines, and we can get a lot of royalties. You can rest easy and raise your baby. You and our daughter will definitely not suffer."

Li Shuihua asked curiously: "How do you know it's a daughter, not a son?"

"Well, my daughter is my lover in my previous life, and my little padded jacket in this life. I hope it's a daughter, as beautiful as you."

"You can speak."
