Chapter 158 The Unpretentious Tenlipo People

After the village party secretary waited for the children to go back, he introduced to Liu Huaying the purpose of the row of houses in front of him.

The village committee has a total of five rooms, one for the office, one for the meeting room, two for the accommodation of the staff who usually go to the countryside, and one for his dormitory.

He unlocked the door of one of them, carried Liu Huaying's luggage into the house, and explained again, "There is a side room at the back for the kitchen, and a vegetable garden where you can grow some vegetables, and the toilet is also there."

By the time Liu Huaying packed her luggage, it was already dark.

"Xiao Liu, let's have dinner in the kitchen. I've prepared two delicious dishes to celebrate." Sun Mingde came over and knocked on the door.

Sun Mingde was about forty years old, with a medium build. The two chatted on the way from the village to Shilipo. Liu Huaying knew that he had a brighter personality, so he was not polite. One thing, "Uncle Liu, isn't the village head elected by the villagers themselves? Why did you send me here?"

Sun Mingde sighed, looking at the immature young man in front of him, hesitating whether to tell him the truth.

No one in Shilipo is willing to be the village head now. The reason is that during the rice planting season in June and July every year, the upstream villagers and the downstream villagers would quarrel fiercely over water disputes. Full martial arts field.

Liu Huaying was very smart, so he didn't want to talk about it, so he didn't pursue it.

After a period of time in the village, Liu Huaying got acquainted with the villagers, and soon knew the ins and outs of the matter.

Residential water for villagers There is a large well in the village, and the small river is useless when it is level, but it is used urgently during the rice planting season in June and July. It is understandable that everyone is anxious about survival plans. If this problem is not resolved, it will not be conducive to everyone's unity in the long run.

Liu Huaying thought about it, and decided to find time to go to the upstream to check and see if there was any solution.

On Sundays, Liu Huaying does not go to work, so she walks upstream along the small river.

After walking for three hours, I came to the source of the small river, a waterfall about one meter wide.

Liu Huaying sat by the waterfall and thought about it for a long time, and probably came up with an idea, and discussed it with Uncle Sun when she returned to the village.

As soon as Liu Huaying returned to the village, she felt that it might be because of the cold air from the waterfall rushing over her body, or it might be because she took off her clothes when walking in the heat, and her head felt uncomfortable and her nose was stuffy.

I didn't even eat dinner, so I fell asleep wrapped in a quilt after washing, and it was even worse the next day, with a splitting headache and a high fever that I couldn't get up.

Liu Huaying's illness slowly recovered after lingering on the hospital bed for half a month.

During this period, Sun Mingde took on all the big and small things in the village by himself, so he didn't have time to take care of him at all.

Every day, villagers voluntarily picked herbs to decoct Liu Huaying. Once, two villagers picked herbs at the same time, and they almost got into a fight over whose medicine to use.

When everything was ready, it was already a new year, when the group of little furry children who ate sweets wore single shoes with their toes exposed, wrapped in thin cotton clothes, and brought over steamed buns for the festival, Liu Huaying was touched by them .

This group of unpretentious Shilipo people cared for him with the most simple actions.

The old clerk who took Liu Huaying learned that he was seriously ill, so he came to see him from the county seat and told him that he could resign now and go home to recuperate.

Liu Huaying refused. He wanted to supply the rice planting water in Shilipo, and resigned until later.
