Chapter 452 I am stationed in this village
Not long after Liang Xinyue and his companions' car stopped, an old man who was probably in his sixties came hurriedly, wearing patched clothes and with gray hair.
When he walked, he was still vigorous, but he looked very old.
Later, Liang Xinyue found out that this Captain Liu was a relative of Captain Liu from Xinshui Village, but their family was in this village.
He was only three years older than Captain Liu of Xinshui Village. In other words, he was less than fifty years old, but he looked like he was almost seventy.
"Hey, all the leaders are here, welcome, I just came back from the canal. Come and see how our village is being renovated."
Captain Liu pointed to the area of his village:
"Our village, this half of the mountain, belongs to our village. You see, we learn to plant what the other mountain plants. Last time we didn't have seeds for peanuts, so we couldn't plant them. This time, the beans are growing well."
"Then this side, from where you can see the red flag, is the boundary of our village. To this side, you can see there is a tree on the hill. In the middle is the scope of our village. Going further, it's all land like this. You can't grow crops."
Captain Lao Liu pointed to the area and said that their village was not like Xinshui Village. Xinshui Village had mountains on both sides and flat land in the middle, making it very easy to manage.
This village is connected to the mountain of Xinyue Village on one side, and the other side is not very flat, with ups and downs. To be honest, it would be difficult to build a greenhouse there because it is not flat.
Moreover, there are mountains on both sides of Xinshui Village, and there is some vegetation, so there is a certain amount of soil. But the ground here is almost all gravel, with very little soil.
If nothing changes, this will not be a suitable place for human survival.
Everyone got back in the car, and under the command of Captain Lao Liu, they went to a slightly higher place on the opposite side to check.
It was quite quick to determine the route of the canal. After all, all the land here was needed. Another advantage was that the main canal was located higher than their village, so it was easy to release water from the main canal. As long as the canal was repaired, there would be water.
After confirmation, it was decided to let the canal in their village run along the undulating mountains on the opposite side. In this way, it would be easier to release water from the upper part to the lower part.
After confirming the route, Captain Lao Liu also called two people to come with hoes to mark the route.
"The situation in our village is a bit annoying. The main canal allocated to our village is 20 meters long, and everyone in our village who can go there has gone there. But if we want to repair this one in our village by ourselves, the total length will probably be more than a thousand meters. I'm afraid our villagers won't be able to repair it by then."
"I have no other options but to ask the leaders to find a solution for our village. We have no labor force, and our village is now full of the elderly, the weak, the sick and the disabled."
Those who have stayed and have not moved away do so because their family conditions are poor. Another reason is that no matter which village they move into, they will not be able to enjoy the treatment of poor villages and will have to pay public grain.
In this village, at least we can get some care from the county and the commune.
Of course, this is an inactive lifestyle, but for these old, weak and disabled people, this is the only way.
The cadre from the commune looked at Liang Xinyue. He would certainly not express his opinion on his own initiative. He knew the situation of the commune. No matter where the labor force was drawn to help, there was nothing he could do. If the labor force was drawn, you had to give them work points and provide them with a meal.
The commune could not afford it. The commune provided all the stones and cement for the canal repair in this village. The commune also provided the grain subsidy for the canal repair. The commune was also under great pressure.
Now, every village in the commune is moving. Everyone wants to get something from the commune, but the county only gives the commune a little money.
Therefore, the commune cadres could only look around and dare not look directly at Captain Lao Liu.
Liang Xinyue sensed a pleading look in Captain Lao Liu's eyes and sighed heavily:
"Let's determine it first. Tell me how much labor and food you can provide, and I'll organize it later."
Captain Lao Liu thanked him repeatedly:
"Thank you so much, leaders. Our whole village is looking forward to it. We hope that we can have water and the harvest will be a little higher next year."
Liang Xinyue said directly:
"Do you know the situation in Xinshui Village over the mountain?"
Upon hearing this, Captain Lao Liu sighed and said:
"How could we not know? We are extremely envious, but there is nothing we can do. Our village cannot compare to theirs."
Liang Xinyue shook her head and said:
"Work hard. Next year, I will come to your village and lead you in planting."
The commune cadres widened their eyes and shouted in surprise:
"Lao Liu, Lao Liu, thank Deputy Director Liang quickly. Your village is going to be rich. Xinshui Village was brought up by Deputy Director Liang. Your village...your village may have gained some benefits."
Captain Liu was a little confused at first, then he was very surprised. As an old man, he even cried:
"Leader, leader, we...we don't know how to say nice things. I don't know what to say. Thank you, thank you for remembering our village. Now our village has hope. Leader, you arrange what needs to be done, and we will do it as you say."
Liang Xinyue nodded and smiled:
"You guys fix the canal first, and I may come to check from time to time. We must find a way out for our village."
Captain Lao Liu choked up and hummed twice:
"With your words, the people in our village who are repairing the canal have more strength. Thank you, we will definitely listen to you and do whatever you say. I heard from my brother that we should not care about anything else but obey you. Their Xinshui Village has done a good job, and all the girls here want to marry there."
Liang Xinyue smiled and said:
"Don't worry, our goal is to no longer be a poor village. We must catch up with Xinshui Village."
Liang Xinyue was not just making empty promises for them, she probably had some plans in mind.
The route here was determined, so she asked Xiao Wei to drive and took Captain Lao Liu to take a rough look at the entire village. Then she had a general idea of the basic terrain of the village.
Then go to the next village.
This village is just further west of Daoliang Village. Although their land is a little further west, it is not like the land of Daoliang Village, and the land of this village is even more difficult to determine.
The overall situation of this village is similar to that of Xinyue Village. The construction route of this village that Liang Xinyue and his team got from the county was relatively correct. After confirming it, they followed the original plan.
