City Start Striving for Becoming a Rich Man

Chapter 272

“Mr. Ni, hello, hello”, the middle-aged man stretched out his right hand and said with a smile: “I am the head of Yujia Village, Lin Zhenguo.”

As soon as Aunt Yu took Ni Shixiao to the entrance of the village, she found several people waiting for them at the entrance of the village.

“Hello there!”

Ni Shixiao feels a little weird. The village head of Yujia Village is not named Yu, but Lin.

Aunt Yu said that there are not many foreign names in Yujiacun.

And there is no one with the surname Lin.

As if he knew Ni Shixiao’s question, Lin Zhenguo said: “I am an educated youth who came here in 1962. I was trusted by the organization to make me the village head here.”

Ni Shixiao is in awe. The educated youth who went to the countryside in 1962 are different from those who were forced to go to the countryside in large numbers later.

This group of them all went to the countryside voluntarily and took the construction of the countryside as their responsibility. Most of them have real talents, and the proportion of college students is not low.

Even high school students are not comparable to later high school students.

At that time, high school students were all senior intellectuals, and the country would arrange jobs.

People who can give up the better living conditions and better work arrangements in the cities and take the initiative to go to the countryside to support agriculture, 17 are worthy of admiration!

“Mr. Lin, I admire you!”

When Aunt Yu heard what Ni Shixiao said, she also said: “Our village chief Lin, but our great benefactor of Yujia Village…”

It turned out that Lin Zhenguo went to the countryside to Yujia Village at the age of 18. He has been rooted here for almost 30 years.

When he first arrived, he saw that Yujia Village was short of water, and drinking water had to travel more than ten kilometers to carry; he could only rely on God for irrigation of farmland.

Yujiacun was hungry for one year, half-full and half-hungry for another year.

Lin Zhenguo used his iron feet to walk around the nearby mountains and rivers, and found a river that can be drained.

But after inspection, it was found that the best route for excavation was full of rocks.

The excavation was quite difficult, and the villagers all thought it was an impossible task and flinched.

Only Lin Zhenguo resolutely refused to give up. After persuading the villagers to no avail, he went into the mountain alone with tools to dig.

It took half a year to dig, until he stumbled and rolled off the cliff; he was rescued by the old village chief.

The old village chief and his son carried Lin Zhenguo to the threshing floor of the village.

Call everyone in the village together.

“Look at it for yourself, him, Lin Zhenguo.

But it’s not our Yujiacun people, this is not his root.

What a good young man, he will die in the mountains sooner or later if he keeps on doing this alone.

I was bossy once today, and each family gave out a strong laborer to follow me into the mountains to dig ditches, and they would never stop digging! ”

In this way, the old village chief was grateful for Lin Zhenguo’s dedication; willing to accompany him stupidly once!

It took ten years to complete the canal.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

The crops in Yujia Village were no longer short of water for irrigation from the day the canal was dug.

And for this canal, the old village chief was exhausted in office!

The temporary forward recommended Lin Zhenguo to the organization to take over as the village head, and Lin Zhenguo also lost a rib for this canal.

There is also rheumatism that can be painful and unable to root out when it is windy and rainy.

After becoming the village head, Lin Zhenguo acted fair and did a lot of practical things for the villagers…

···

“Sister Xiufen, you can’t praise me anymore, I’m ashamed. I haven’t let the villagers live a good life for so many years.”

Lin Zhenguo waved his hand after listening to Aunt Yu’s praise.

Ni Shixiao looked at Lin Zhenguo and estimated that his age is at most 47 years old this year.

But his temples are already full of life, and he looks very haggard. It seems that stubborn illness and work have tortured his mental strength enough!

Just as for the noble person like Lin Zhenguo, Ni Shixiao has to plan a good way out for the village!

Lin Zhenguo took Ni Shixiao around the village, and then went to the fields and mountains to take a closer look.

Ni Shixiao took a close look at the growth of the crops in the farmland, and drew a bit of soil to taste it with his tongue.

By feeling the taste of the soil, you can roughly judge the fertility of the soil.

Lin Zhenguo watched Ni Shixiao’s movements and nodded silently: “This is a savvy man. It seems that Yujiacun really has a way out.”

“Mr. Lin, let’s go and see the mountains.”

“Well, let’s go over here. There is a small road here. Go faster.”

Walking on the small road, Ni Shixiao saw many puddles on the side of the road, which should have been dug up by the villagers to store water.

Many water hyacinths and withered water chestnut vines grow in the water.

I walked over and grabbed a bit from the side. The rhizome of the water hyacinth was very full. I took a bite and tasted it. There was a hint of sweetness in the astringency.

Well, the water quality here is good.

Pulled a little water chestnut vine up again, except for the upper part, the water immersed in the water seemed to be active.

This water chestnut is also good, and the winter has not passed.

From autumn to now, it can maintain such a good activity, and it is also very suitable for breeding water chestnut here.

“Mr. Lin, how many puddles are there in the entire village, how many acres?”

“There are more than 200. They were dug to store water. If you calculate the area, it would be about 50 mu.”

“Is there water hyacinth and water chestnut in each? Are there any Alternanthera philoxeroides?”

“There are both water hyacinth and water chestnut, what kind of grass is Alternanthera philoxeroides? I am not sure about this?”

“Oh, Alternanthera philoxeroides is water peanut, or revolutionary grass.”

“Revolutionary grass, yes, the water puddles to the north of the village are covered in whole areas. The reproductive capacity is extremely strong, and the villagers harvest them and feed them to pigs.”

“Mr. Lin, let’s go to the north and take a look at the puddles.”

When he arrived to the north of the village, Ni Shixiao observed the puddles by himself, and the water peanuts grew very well here.

Revolution grass is also called water peanut, also known as Alternanthera philoxeroides and Alternanthera philoxeroides.

Amaranthaceae, Alternanthera spp.

Emergent plants, aquatic or wet perennial herb.

It is named because its leaves are similar to peanut leaves.

Water peanuts were introduced from South America in the 1930s and are a good animal feed.

Pigs, chickens, ducks and geese like to eat it, chopped up and mixed with rice bran can make a good feed.

When Ni Shixiao was a child in his previous life, he often went to the pond to fish for peanuts and take them home to feed the pigs.

Later, it was discovered that the plant contained toxicity and was not suitable for feed.

But it has spread and caused great harm.

The water peanuts grown in farmland rob the crops of sunlight, water, fertilizer and growing space, and ultimately cause serious production reduction.

The water peanuts growing in river waterways and lakes can quickly cover the water surface and affect other aquatic plants. At the same time, it seriously affects irrigation and drainage, water transportation and aquaculture.

If the grass decomposes and dissolves in the water, it will also produce toxic substances, pollute the water quality, and poison aquatic crops.

Ni Shixiao also saw crayfish in the puddle.

“Mr. Lin, are there many crayfish here?”

“That’s so much. In summer, the farmland is full, and the villagers don’t like to eat it. It costs too much oil and food, and there is not much meat on them. They are all broken and fed to chickens and ducks. “.
