living in a mountain village

Chapter 40 Building the Xiaoqingshan Reservoir and Preparing the Reservoir for Fish Farming
There is a river on Xiaoqingshan that flows through Luoyun Village all year round. In the past, the water used to irrigate the vegetable fields in the village was from this river. Because a large number of vegetable fields were built in the village, and a lot of wasteland was reclaimed, so the water used volume increased a lot.

Lin Hao suddenly discovered that he had been in the village for so long and hadn't found any facilities such as reservoirs in the village, and it was still possible to build a small reservoir in Xiaoqingshan.At that time, fish can be raised in the reservoir, and some water recreation projects can also be developed.Such as boating, fishing and other activities.

Thinking of this, Lin Hao went to the old village head.After Lin Hao explained his intention of coming to the old village head, the old village head agreed with Lin Hao's idea without hesitation, and organized the strong labor force of the village to go to Xiaoqingshan to build a reservoir together.Because the construction of a reservoir is a large project, it requires professional knowledge to select a site. The construction also needs to consider the limit that the dam can withstand after construction, and release water regularly.Prevent the dam from being washed out by the water.Moreover, if the dam is built, it can also resist the outbreak of mountain torrents. Although no floods have been encountered in recent years, people have immediate worries without foresight. Only by being prepared for danger in times of peace can we live better.

For this reason, Lin Hao approached Mr. Wu, hoping that he could introduce some good reservoir designers.When Mr. Wu heard that Lin Hao said that he would lead the villagers to build a reservoir, he was also taken aback.But it soon calmed down.Although it is a bit more difficult to build a reservoir, it is beneficial to the development of the village after all.

For this reason, Mr. Wu still secretly felt sorry in his heart, because Lin Hao had no intention of entering an official career at all.What a waste of his talents.If Lin Hao can enter the official career, at least he should be able to change the development of the entire Panshan County.

Mr. Wu called one of his old buddies, "Brother Aihua, I am Jianguo. How have you been doing these years?" Mr. Wu chatted with Li Aihua on the phone.

"If you have something to talk about, just fart." Li Aihua roared grumpily.

"Speak up, don't I have a young man who asks me for help and wants me to introduce an expert in reservoir construction? I just thought that you old man should be free to grow mushrooms now, so I wanted to ask if you would come."

"My day, should I have said it earlier. It's nothing to put away the things that talk about the ozone layer." Old man Li Aihua said on the phone, "I'll pack up and go there right away."

"Old woman, pack your things quickly. Let's go find that old man Wu Jianguo. I heard that his couple hid in the mountains and found an expert to see a doctor for them. Now they are recuperating very well. Let's go see too." Li Aihua said to Said his lover.

"You still have such a hot temper. Let's go home, but we have to tell the children first, so that they don't worry."

"If those bastards have such kind intentions, ignore them." Li Aihua said duplicity.

After packing up, Li Aihua and his lover went out and got on the train to Panshan County.After a long journey of fifteen hours, they finally arrived at this small mountain town that still looked poor.The small town surrounded by mountains has a good environment.is the traffic is not very convenient.The station is still that old small station, and it seems that there may not even be a train every day.

There are only a few buses in the county to meet the travel needs of people here, there are not many private cars, and the roads leading to other cities are winding mountain roads, which is a test of the driver's driving skills.Perhaps it is precisely because of these reasons that the mountain forest environment here is well maintained and has not been over-developed.

Mr. Wu guessed that his old buddy would definitely rush over after receiving his call.So he took Lin Hao and waited for Li Aihua and the others outside the station early.When they saw Li Aihua walking out of the station, Mr. Wu greeted them: "Here, we are here."

Seeing Li Aihua who was waving to them, he took his wife's hand and walked towards Wu Jianguo.I was dragging a small suitcase in my hand.

Mr. Wu introduced to Li Aihua: "This kid is called Lin Hao, and he is the expert doctor I mentioned to you before. After several years of recuperation by him, do you think I have become much healthier?"

"It's still tough, and I'm about to meet the old man of Marx. Stop talking about it." Li Aihua said unconvinced.

"This is my old friend, an expert in reservoir construction. Li Aihua. You can call him Old Man Li."

"Mr. Li, hello." Lin Hao greeted quickly.

"We are traveling all the way, let's go back to the village to rest for a day to discuss the construction of the reservoir." Lin Hao picked up Li Aihua and others in the car, went back to Luoyun Vegetable and Fruit Store, and picked up Zhao Hu.Prepare for Zhao Hu to drive the car back in a while.

When Li Aihua and the others came to Luoyun Village by boat, they saw that the whole village was waiting for them outside the village.The mountain people are very simple and don't have too many bad intentions. When Lin Hao said that Mr. Wu hired a capable person to help them design the reservoir, everyone was very happy.

Perhaps feeling the enthusiasm of the mountain people here, Li Aihua and his wife suddenly came up with the idea of ​​settling down in Luoyun Village.For several days, Lin Hao, Li Aihua and Li Lao wandered around Xiaoqingshan every day. After several days of observation, Li Aihua finally found a suitable location and confirmed the location.

Then came the design of the reservoir, and Li Aihua stayed up all night.Lin Hao was worried that Li Aihua's body would not be able to bear it, so he boiled some medicinal food every day and sent it to him.Perhaps because of the medicated diet delivered by Lin Hao, Li Aihua and his wife felt better than before.

When the soldiers who were originally training in the village learned that Lin Hao and the others were going to repair the reservoir, they expressed their willingness to help.Because it required a lot of manpower, Lin Hao did not refuse.

According to the drawings drawn by Li Aihua, everyone piled up the materials in the place selected in advance by Xiaoqingshan.Many people are powerful, because everyone works together.The construction of the reservoir is different every day.Because of the help of the soldiers, the reservoir was built very quickly.Except when the weather was too cold to build, the construction of the reservoir basically never stopped.

In the twinkling of an eye, winter turned to spring, and the flowing water gathered after the winter snow melted flowed into the reservoir built by Xiaoqingshan. From the wide embankment, seeing the large lake formed by the melted snow in the reservoir, Lin Hao asked the old village chief Go to the county for approval.

Fish farming in the reservoir is another good business that can increase the income of the village.The fish grown in the reservoir are firm and elastic, and are very popular with people outside the mountain.Lin Hao assigned the right to raise fish in the reservoir to the village as a collective property, and none of the villagers objected.
