Although Zhao Shucheng solved the problem of power supply, the most important problem at present is drinking water and irrigation water.
Although the Yellow River is not very far from Yuquanying, the above said that it would solve the problem of irrigation water for Jintan Village. However, the planned Yellow River Yangshui Station has no sign at all. It will take until 1997 to be truly completed.
Have you not found a way to solve the water use problem before this? The dealer in the field is not waiting for anyone. Although they are new to this year and have not yet solved the mixed sand and stones in the land, they will definitely have to plant food next year.
If one does not have long-term plans, one will have immediate worries, so solving the irrigation problem has reached an urgent point.
There is actually a wealth of groundwater under Jintan Village, but because there is no electricity, even if you use a tractor to drill a well, there is no way to pump water without electricity, and there is no way to water the ground.
In fact, watering is not the most important problem to solve. Instead, drinking water is the main thing. Nowadays, the water you drink is all the water from the Yellow River that you go to Yangshui Station to pull, but because the Yellow River is mixed with mud and sand, it is directly like one pound of water and two taels of sand, which tastes much worse than groundwater.
Zhao Shucheng's current idea is to dig a well as soon as possible, otherwise everything will be too late next year.
At this stage, working in the local area can’t make much money, and it’s even more dreamy to earn enough money to drill a well.
Zhao Shucheng can only wait for his own royalties to arrive. Only when the royalties arrive can he have the confidence to drill a well and not attract attention. He can also let the villagers know that reading is really useful and he can earn more money.
Thanks to Zhao Shucheng's first construction of brick and tile houses, many people who go home to take care of the farmland in their hometown know that this place can really make a fortune. The enthusiasm for immigration in Diaozhuang is very high. Jintan Village has collected more than 30 households in half a year, which is much better than in the original plot.
As more and more people live in adobe houses, the original land nest has become a resettlement site for new immigrants. Their current conditions are much better than when Zhao Shucheng and others came.
When Zhao Shucheng saw Director Zhang and Ma Defu, he couldn't help but ask: "Director Zhang, Team Leader Ma, when will the electricity supply in our village be resolved?"
"We are communicating with the Power Supply Bureau and we will definitely solve this problem for us as soon as possible."
Zhao Shucheng looked at the other party and said, "I think you should still repay the above. There is no Yangshui Station here now, so we can only rely on the well to irrigate the farmland. If there is no electricity, we will not be able to stay at all. Sooner or later, we will run back."
"As long as the power is turned on, we can renovate the land. Not to mention anything else, Russia can rent machines to repair the land. This way, the speed is much faster, and food will be produced here next year."
Zhang Shucheng felt it made sense when he heard Zhao Shucheng's words, but the power supply is not something that can be done by one person, and he can only ask the superiors to discuss with the power supply bureau.
"I will consider what you said. By the way, this is your letter. I put it in the dating shop before, and I took it to you by the way. By the way, do you still have a relationship with other places? This letter is very heavy."
When Zhao Shucheng heard his letter, he immediately took it excitedly and said, "Well, it's been here. Thank you Director Zhang."
Zhang Shucheng looked at Zhao Shucheng who was running into the room and asked curiously: "Defu, An Yongfu is from our Xihaigu, right? Why do you still have a relationship with Beijing?"
Ma Defu was also a little puzzled about this and could only say with a guess: "Maybe they have some relatives."
Shuihua also saw Zhao Shucheng rushing into the room and asked curiously: "Defu, what's wrong?"
Zhao Shucheng said: "Wife, there is a reply to the article we wrote before."
As he said that, he opened the envelope. In addition to a new version of the book, there was also a letter that said that the book written by Zhao Shucheng was very meaningful. The first issue was attached to the letter, and the manuscript fee was sandwiched on page 23 of the magazine.
Zhao Shucheng opened the magazine and saw the bills in the magazine. He counted them and found that it was 2,000 yuan.
Shuihua also saw the letter and remittance slip, and asked excitedly: "Yongfu, is it really a remittance slip?"
"Yes, it's a remittance bill. Our family has money."
"I'm rich, I'm rich!"
Shuihua kept saying this. This remittance slip might be the biggest money she had ever seen in the first half of her life, which made her a little overwhelmed.
"Yongfu, what are you going 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 this money to dig a machine well. There is no Yangshui station here now, or even a machine well. If you want to drink water, you have to go to the machine well a few kilometers away to buy it. It is not worth it at all."
"The Russians can use it after digging the wells of the machine. When the pain is a little, just collect the electricity bill."
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
When Shuhua heard Zhao Shucheng's plan, she thought for a while but refused. Because she knew the pain of lack of water, she didn't care whether the money was used on her own house.
Besides, she knew very well that Zhao Shucheng was not the only one who contributed this magazine, but also submitted it to other magazines, and even directly submitted a book by 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 there will definitely be 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 own space. After looking at it, there was no difference, and then he felt relieved.
He took the money to find the construction team that was drilling the well, indicating that there was no electricity. The other party frowned and seemed unwilling to do so.
"Your place has no electricity, so you can only try drilling with machines. The cost will be high. Can you accept it?"
Zhao Shucheng was relieved when he heard this. As long as he could dig a well, there would be no big problem.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! "This price is easy to say, how much do you think it will cost?"
"That's right. If you use electric power to drill wells, we only need 3,000 yuan, but if you use diesel engines, it will cost 5,000 yuan. Don't think the price is high, because diesel engines need to consume diesel, and there is nothing we can do about it."
Zhao Shucheng said to the price that is acceptable and said, "I can accept the price, but I want you to dig a well in Jintan Village tomorrow. If you can do it, we will calculate it at 5,000 yuan. If not, our price needs to be lowered."
"This is OK. We will bring the equipment tomorrow, but you need to hire a water truck alone. It will cost water to dig wells at that time."
"In this way, you should have a supporting water truck here and take it with you together and pay your rent. How about it?"
"Okay, no problem, but the rent is 100, and the gas money is calculated separately."
Zhao Shucheng thought about it for a while but did not continue to bargain. After all, the most important thing is to make the organic well in Jintan Village as soon as possible.
After Zhao Shucheng handled this matter, he went to the ready-made shopping and bought some oil cakes, and then took them back for Li Shuihua to taste.
On the way back, Zhao Shucheng thought about the land preparation matter, but because there is no electricity yet and there is no time to plant this year, he does not hire a machine and is preparing to level the land after the spring flowers bloom after the New Year.
After seeing Zhao Shucheng come back, Li Shuihua asked curiously: "Where is the money in the head?"
When Zhao Shucheng saw Li Shuihua's crazy appearance, he directly handed over the two thousand dollars he took out to the other party, allowing her to live the addiction of a rich man.
While counting the money, Li Shuihua looked at Zhao Shucheng's bulging bag and asked, "Boss, what's in your bag?"
Zhao Shucheng took out the oil cake he bought and said, "Dangdangdang, this is a famous local fried oil cake. It tastes very good. I bought it for you specifically, you can try it!"
At first, Shuihua really wanted you to taste it, but when he got the oil cake and got it to his mouth, he suddenly asked about the smell of oil. He felt a little disgusting and couldn't help but throw it away and run out to vomit.
When Zhao Shucheng saw her like this, he couldn't help but think of how many women he had been pregnant before. Shuihua was probably pregnant. He has not been idle for the past few months and tried to have a bridal chamber every night. Shuihua's chances of getting pregnant are very high.
The water splash finally finished vomiting, and looked at the oil cake on the table with disgust and said, "Why does this oil cake taste so big? You can eat it yourself. I don't want to eat it anymore. I still like to eat potatoes."
"Wife, do you think you are pregnant?"
Shuihua didn't think about this at first. She was stunned when she heard Zhao Shucheng's words, and asked in a slight sense of confidence: "Is it possible?"
"Of course it's possible, my wife, how long has it been since your relatives come?"
Shuihua was stunned for a moment, thought for a while and said, "That one has never come since marriage. He often came late at home before. I thought it was normal."
"It must be there. You came late because you were poorly eaten and malnutrition. But although we often ate potatoes in the past two months, we occasionally ate meat and will not be malnutrition."
"I really have it?"
"Ninety-nine, we will go to the hospital for a check-up tomorrow. If you really have it, your wife, don't do heavy work again from today. Leave all the big and small things at home to me."
"I'm not so cute. It's okay if I'm careful. When my mother gave birth to me, she was about to give birth and still working in the field to water it. Otherwise, what would I call Shuihua?"
"That's different. You're the first child. You must be careful. Besides, there's nothing to do here now. You won't be able to plant things in the field for a while. Next year, we will prepare the land and use machines directly to get it done in just a few days."
"That's not about spending money, it's about saving money by working on your own."
When Shuhua heard that Zhao Shucheng wanted to hire a machine to work, she felt a little distressed.
Although my life has improved a lot when I came to the Diaozhuang, Shuaihua thought I had spent a lot of money. It cost a few thousand yuan to build a house alone, and now it costs thousands more to dig a machine well. When it comes to revising the land, it will cost at least a few hundred yuan.
"Daughter-in-law, don't worry, you have seen it too. The stories we wrote have been published in magazines and can have a lot of royalties. You can take care of your baby and will definitely not let you and our daughter suffer."
Li Shuihua asked curiously: "How do you know that it is a daughter, not a son?"
"This, my daughter is my father's lover in his previous life, and my little cotton jacket in this life. I hope she is a daughter, as beautiful as you."
