Siheyuan: Starting from Building a Village

Early the next morning, Liu Guozheng took Xu Fang to wander around the village entrance, mainly to check and consider where the water should be diverted. After a final look, they found that a bridge would be needed no matter which direction the water was diverted.

Finally, it was decided to dig from the east end of the fish pond all the way north to the foot of the north mountain, and then dig a canal along the foot of the north mountain to divert the water out. However, the east end of the fish pond still needed to be well protected, as it would be bad if the fish ran away.

At the same time, some protection should be built at the water outlet of Beishan. The newly dug section can also be used to raise fish. If you don’t mind the noise, you can also raise ducks and geese.

As for whether the villages through which the water flows would raise fish, that was not within Liu Guozheng's consideration.

Whether they raise fish or not, they will be able to eat fish conveniently in the future. Nature is so wonderful. As long as there is water, there will definitely be fish over time.

However, if you want to raise fish, the water must either be wide or deep. But now they are only thinking about alleviating the drought and will not think about raising fish, so the canal dug this time is estimated to be not very wide.

However, I hope that the new canal dug in Xincun from Nanshan to Beishan can be completed in one go. Of course, the canal dug this time will be directly handed over to the robots, and Xu Fang will lead people to complete it at night.

"Brother Zheng, Brother Zheng."

Liu Guozheng, who had just returned from Beishan, heard Xu Damao calling him.

"Da Mao, how are you doing recently?"

Xu Damao was still riding his old bicycle with the projection equipment on the back.

"That's all. I'll stick with my job as a projectionist for now."

Xu Damao was not in a good mood as his goal of changing jobs was not achieved.

"Da Mao, come on in and take a break."

The two men entered the gatehouse, and Lao San moved two stools from another room. Lao San and Er Lang were on duty at the village entrance today, and Er Lang was sleeping in the inner room.

Liu Guozheng asked: "Da Mao, are Uncle Gu and the others okay?"

"Don't worry, everything is fine."

Xu Damao peeled a sweet potato and ate it while saying, "Brother Zheng, have you heard that the deaf old lady died?"

"How did you die?"

Liu Guozheng was not surprised by the death of the deaf old lady. The question was how she died.

"I heard that he committed suicide. He gave away a lot of names before he died. Director Yang of our factory was directly transferred to the northwest. If nothing unexpected happens, he will basically never come back in this lifetime."

"I also heard that the deaf old lady's treasure trove really unearthed a lot of treasures. Not to mention the jewels and jades, there were two boxes of yellow croakers of all sizes. Wow, I didn't expect the old deaf lady to have hidden so many good things."

When it comes to gold, silver and jewelry, Xu Damao's eyes light up, but unfortunately, he can only envy them.

Liu Guozheng said nonchalantly: "Then Yi Zhonghai, doesn't he hate me to death?"

"Of course they hate it. I was wondering why Yi Zhonghai and his wife were so attentive to the deaf old lady. It turns out they were after her treasure."

"Brother Zheng, you may not know, but Yi Zhonghai, that old mule, went to Xicheng the day before yesterday and his legs were broken."

When talking about Yi Zhonghai's experience, Xu Damao became even more excited, with saliva flying everywhere.

"Yi Zhonghai's wife even called the police, but it was no use. When Yi Zhonghai was found, he still had a sack over his head. It was obvious that he hadn't seen anyone, and the police couldn't do anything about it."

"What makes me happiest is that Yi Zhonghai missed the annual fitter assessment. I heard that the old mule was so angry that he vomited blood."

"Also, Liu Haizhong, the official-obsessed man, actually managed to advance to the seventh-level blacksmith, which puts him at the same level as Yi Zhonghai. Liu Haizhong even went to the hospital and told Yi Zhonghai in person the news of his successful advancement. Yi Zhonghai almost fainted from anger."

“Uh…uh.”

"Brother Zheng, is there any water? I'm choking, uh..."

Well, "too much joy brings sorrow".

"Da Mao, drink some water."

The third brother hurriedly poured a glass of water for Xu Damao. Fortunately, the water was not too hot, and Xu Damao drank it all in one gulp.

"Brother Zheng, let me tell you, the director of our subdistrict office has also been changed. She is an old revolutionary named Zhang. She is said to be clean and efficient. Just yesterday, Jia Zhang was lazy and insulted the staff of the subdistrict office. She was directly sent to the countryside to live in a cowshed for three months. When she comes back, she will continue to clean the toilets."

"Da Mao, where is the sand sculpture in your courtyard?"

The third brother suddenly added a sentence.

"Stupid? You mean Shazhu, right? He's still the same, always following Qin Huairu around, but now he doesn't dare to be as arrogant as before, and he can beat anyone he wants. After all, the old deaf man is dead, Yi Zhonghai has fallen, and no one will support him anymore."

"Third brother, you don't know that Sha Zhu is just like his father, they both like widows. No, that's not right, Qin Huairu is not a widow, but it's the same, she is also someone else's wife."

After hearing what Xu Damao said, Liu Guozheng took a special look at this guy and found that when he talked about Qin Huairu again, his eyes were much clearer and his face was no longer like before, when he talked about women with a vulgar look on his face. It seems that Xu Damao has really changed a lot.

"Xu Damao, you can't learn from Sha Zhu. If I hear about it, I'll break your legs."

The third brother stared at Xu Damao and said.

Seeing the look in Lao San's eyes, Xu Damao was startled and said hurriedly: "Lao San, what you said, brother, I will change now, okay?"

The third brother nodded: "I hope you really have changed."

"I will definitely change it. Besides, I have a blind date in a few days, so I definitely can't do anything stupid at this time."

Xu Damao stroked his mustache with a smile on his face.

Xu Damao suddenly asked, "By the way, Brother Zheng, do you still remember Yue Zhen?"

"Yes, I remember. He is the deputy director of the Red Star Police Station."

"Not anymore. I think he has been transferred to the Hongqi Commune Police Station as the chief."

"Da Mao, how did you know?"

"I met him today, and he asked about you specifically."

"is it?"

"Yes, he did say that it was because of your last respectful words that the deaf old lady committed suicide. Brother Zheng, do you think Yue Zhen wants to cause trouble for you? You better be careful. Isn't this the Red Flag Commune?"

"Da Mao, you think too much. Don't even think about causing trouble for me. Yue Zhen will definitely treat me to a drink when he sees me. Believe it or not."

"I don't believe it. Even though you've been promoted from deputy director to full director, your place is in the far suburbs. How can it be compared with the East City District?"

"How about we make a bet?"

"Do not hit."

Xu Damao shook his head like a rattle.

"Yo, Da Mao is here."

Erlang has woken up.

Xu Damao asked, "Erlang, you slept for the whole afternoon, are you going to sleep at night?"

Erlang blurted out: "Of course I sleep at night. Can I ever get enough sleep?"

"I'm jealous."

Xu Damao smacked his lips.

Er Leng asked, "Why are you envious? Didn't you say you wanted to change your position?"

"I can't change my position for now. The factory said that as long as they can train two mature projectionists within half a year, they will agree to my change of position. I asked my father to transfer me back, but the cinema refused to let me go."

When it comes to changing jobs, Xu Damao feels a little depressed.

Erlang asked casually: "Then you should be more careful. By the way, what kind of film did you bring this time?"

Xu Damao replied: "The Railway Guerrillas and Crossing the Yangtze River Reconnaissance are both good movies that are most popular among the masses."

"Brother Zheng, let's eat early tonight and watch a movie after dinner."

"Erlang, if you want to eat earlier, then you go to the cafeteria to help, otherwise you won't be able to make Master Yuan die of exhaustion."

"Let's go, what are you waiting for?"

Erlang ran away immediately after he finished speaking.
