Chapter 148
In the cold wind, on the top of the dome, the feather-like snow would not stop for a moment, falling suddenly, as if something on the ground was attracting them.

The world was vast, covered in silver, and the cold wind was like a knife. Ma Defu curled up, wearing gloves made by his mother on his hands, a hat on his head, and his neck curled up. The wind moves through the snow.

There is a feeling of depression when one foot goes down, and on the snow that already has several rows of footprints, another footprint of about three to four centimeters is left.

A few steps ahead, his father Ma Huashui and Wang Zhong walked side by side, asking Wang Zhong for advice, and Wang Zhong also patiently explained to his father, such as when cold compresses and hot compresses are suitable, how to cool down quickly, and how to reduce the temperature quickly. There are viral colds, bacterial colds, and mixed colds, and how to deal with them.

Ma Defu himself was confused when he heard it, but his father kept nodding his head when he called for water, and asked if he should ask a few words.

Looking at Wang Zhong's tall and generous back beside his father, Ma Defu felt a little sour for no reason.

Envy, jealousy, or a little bit of admiration, feel ashamed...

Ma Defu didn't know how he felt in his heart now, he just felt a little uncomfortable and depressed.

Shuihua is also in Jintan Village, living right under his nose, and Ma Defu can naturally see it. Shuihua's life is lived, let alone Jintan Village, even in the entire immigrant Diaozhuang area of ​​Yuquanying, that is the most OK

Among all the Diaozhuang households, they were the first to build a house on the Gobi Desert, and it was a brick house with a reinforced concrete structure. It is said that it can withstand even sandstorms. The tile-roofed houses were all built with Wang Zhong's help.

So far, more than 30 Diaozhuang households in Jintan Village have all worked in the brick kiln opened by Wang Zhongkai. The wages are a bit higher than that of the kiln nearby.

Recently, many folks who can’t wait to save money to buy a brick house, because the earthen embryo house has already been built, look at the brick houses built one after another around them, and they start to regret it.

Although the earth embryo house is good, it is still not as good as the red brick house. Otherwise, the business of the brick kiln would not be so good.

After parting at an intersection not far from home, Ma Defu's mood became more and more complicated as he watched Wang Zhong leave on the snow.

"Father! Wang Zhong's medical skills are really better than the doctors in the town's health center?" Ma Defu still asked in disbelief.

Ma Huashui put his hands behind his back, and said indifferently: "How do I know!"

Ma Defu was stunned for a moment, then his eyes widened, and he looked at his father in disbelief: "But that's not what you said when you asked me to call Wang Zhong just now."

Ma shouted: "At that time, the baby's parents panicked like ants on a hot pot. If I didn't say that, how could I make them feel at ease."

"However, Wang Zhong's medical skills are really good, at least much better than your father's half-baked doctor!"

Ma Huashui was not just talking nonsense for no reason. In the past few years when he came to Diaozhuang, any of the Diaozhuang households had ailments and pains, and he knew how to deal with them. The half-baked man who had been practicing medicine with the barefoot doctor for several years didn't know what to do, so he could only ask the villagers to send him to the health center in the town.

Ma Defu didn't speak, but looked at the direction Wang Zhong was leaving with complicated eyes.

"What are you doing standing there stupidly! It's snowing so much, hurry home!"

Ma Huashui was walking, but he didn't see his son. Looking back, he found his eldest son standing in the snow, looking at the direction he was looking. Ma Huashui sighed helplessly. Brick walked back, put his son on the shoulder and said.

No one knows a son like a father, so why doesn't Ma Huashui know what his son is thinking.

"En!" Ma Defu responded, and walked home with his father.

"Okay!" Looking at the expression on Defu's face, he said comfortingly, "It's been so many years, don't think so much!"

"Father! I thought, Shuihua married Wang Zhong, it was the right marriage!"

Defu's eyes flickered, and he said with emotion: "Wang Zhong is capable, capable, able to earn money, and able to give Shuihua a better life. He is a good destination!"

Ma Huashui patted Ma Defu's shoulder, and said rather sighingly: "It's best if you can think so. I think what Wang Zhong often said makes sense. The past is gone, and the eyes are in the eyes." We should look ahead!"

"The eyes grow in the front, we should look forward." Ma Huashui murmured and repeated.

"Father!" Ma Defu turned his head and looked at the horse shouting water, with the corners of his mouth raised, showing a smile, and his eyes were sincere: "You are right, we should look forward."

"The work of resettling in Diaozhuang has just begun. It is a difficult time. We always tell the villagers about the future. The future is to be seen with the eyes, to the future, to the future."

Ma Huashui said from the bottom of his heart: "Wang Zhong is a good boy, with his ability, even if he goes to Yanjing, he will definitely be able to live well."

"Why do people stay in our poor place? When your uncle and the others ran back, he took the lead in filling the vacancies of Diaozhuang immigrants. After he came, he opened brick kilns, paid high wages for the villagers, and led you Dad, me and Depot helped the villagers build houses.

That's because they thought that our ancestors took in their ancestors, and thought that we collected the bones of their ancestors and let them rest in the ground, and wanted to repay us! "

"For example, the bricks he used to build houses for the villagers were sold at the cost price, which was nearly half cheaper than the brick kiln next door. How many of us folks who came to Diaozhuang could only afford earthen houses? , because of his patronage, the brick house was built."

"Blessed! As human beings, we can't forget the kindness of others, but we can't point to the old things and expect others to repay their kindness. If they treat us well, we should also remember their kindness and repay them."

"Father, I know." Ma Defu said.

Ma Huashui's eyes were full of relief: "Your father and I are not capable enough to help Wang Zhong, but you are now working in the poverty alleviation village. You are a national cadre. If you are within the scope of your duties and do not violate the regulations, if you can help, Just help him more."

"Father, I know that what Wang Zhong is doing now is like crossing the river by feeling the stones. It is not for himself, but for the villagers of our Jintan Village. If I can help, I will definitely help!"

Ma Huashui patted Ma Defu's shoulder in relief, and said with a smile: "This is the man of our Ma family!"

"Father, you said that Wang Chong plans to contract [-] mu of land in the future, plant grass, raise Tan sheep, and grow wolfberry grapes. Will this scale be too big?"

Diaozhuang resettlement in Yuquanying has only been done for a few years. Many villagers have built their houses, leaving one person to work here, and the others ran back. gone back.

In the final analysis, it is because Yuquanying has just been developed, and the irrigation canals have not been dug yet, and there is no well. To drink water, we can only dig water cellars to store water, or buy water from the wells outside the village, not to mention Up to now, the water pumping station has not even been seen.

"Who knows!"

Ma Huashui shook his head, and said: "Wang Zhong is capable, he has seen the big world, he is different from those of us who face the loess and back to the sky, spend most of our lives in ravines, and have never even been out of Xihaigu." Same."

"At the beginning, it was said that we would build a brick kiln. Who would have thought that it would take only two or three years to build it to the current scale."

In two or three years, they have grown from nothing to the size of the only large brick kiln in the town. Under the care of the Xihaigu District Government and the villagers thanking Wang Zhong for his kindness, they work together to double their output every year.

"Then I can help him?" Ma Defu tried to ask.

Ma Huashui nodded: "Wang Zhong, from the time I knew him to now, I have never seen him fight unprepared battles. Since he said it, he must have thought it over and over again. If it does not violate the principle, no If you violate the law, help him more if you can."

Although Ma Defu is only a team leader of the Diaozhuang Office for Poverty Alleviation, many things within the system must be more convenient to do than Wang Zhong. The Yuquan Camp is within the jurisdiction of their Diaozhuang Office. Wang Zhong thought Contracting so many lands can't bypass Director Zhang's hurdle.

With Ma Defu's help, although there is no guarantee that this will happen, it will definitely save Wang Zhong a lot of time.

This is what people often say, there are people in the Yamen who are good at handling things.

While speaking, the father and son had already arrived outside the house.

The same as in Yongquan Village, surrounded by half-person-high walls, but not adobe, but red bricks, the courtyard gate is still a simple fence, three main houses, two houses on the west side, one The middle is the kitchen, one side is the warehouse, the outermost is a semi-open shed for storing sundries, and the east is a sheep pen and chicken pen.

The courtyard has already been covered with a layer of white snow, which is not thick. In the morning, Ma Huashui and his two sons had already cleared the snow, but after snowing for half a day, the courtyard was inevitably covered with another layer.

From the chimney at the top of the kitchen, there is a curl of smoke rising from the kitchen.

Just as the father and son were about to enter, the door of the main room was pulled open, and the cold wind swept the goose-feathered snow towards the house. Debao, who was already about the same height as Ma Defu, appeared behind the door.

"Father! Brother!"

"You are back!" As soon as Debao finished speaking, Gawa appeared behind Debao, calling for his uncle and cousin.

"It's snowing outside, why don't you stay inside, what are you doing outside?"

Ma Huashui walked towards the door, and spoke loudly to the two of them.

"Isn't this why my mother told me to look for you when you didn't come back! You and my brother came back just after packing up and getting ready to go out!"

"Okay, okay, go back to the house quickly, it's freezing, it's freezing to death!"

While speaking, the father and son entered the house.

······
Time flies, Lantern Festival is over in a blink of an eye, Shui Hua's body is getting heavier and heavier, her belly seems to be getting bigger, and she can only walk with her waist. Wang Zhong loves his wife, but the more this time, the more he can't Sitting dry, nutrition should be supplemented, but daily walking and walking should not be less.

As for the work, Wang Zhong and Li Laoshuan have taken care of everything outside the house. Wang Zhong is in charge of cooking, and Li Laoshuan helps to heat the fire and water and clean the house.

After the Lantern Festival, the cold current has not receded. Although the snow has temporarily rested, it has not yet melted. The temperature has dropped to about ten degrees below zero. When we go outside, the cold wind blows like a knife. It hurts.

Wang Zhong went to the Poverty Alleviation Diaozhuang Office several times, on the one hand to apply for the [-] mu of land, and on the other hand, to apply for water canals and electricity.

Wang Zhong knew that it was useless to just go to the Poverty Alleviation Diaozhuang Office for this matter, but there was no other way, and the Poverty Alleviation Office was directly responsible for Yuquan Camp now.

Originally, Wang Zhong thought that the land matter would be the best to handle, but he didn't realize it, but it was also a difficult nut to crack.

Because Wang Zhong contracted a lot of land, one hundred mu of land is equivalent to the land of five or six families. Although Director Zhang has the right to decide this matter, there are too many lands involved, and the work of Diaozhuang resettlement is still going on. Among them, after all, the plan of the district is to move all the folks living in the valleys to Yuquanying as much as possible.

Moreover, among the resettlement villages in Yuquanying, Jintan Village is only one of them. In the other villages, resettlement villages were implemented earlier and on a larger scale than Jintan Village.

The land near Yuquanying has been almost planned early on, waiting to encourage more and more common people to come to Diaozhuang.

Now that Wang Zhong applied for a hundred acres of land all at once, it was really not that easy.

"Director Zhang, see if you can help us find a solution to this matter!" In the office of Director Zhang of the Poverty Alleviation Office, Ma Defu sat opposite the desk, poured a bowl of tea for Director Zhang, frowned, and pleaded asked.

"Blessed, I have already made it clear to Wang Zhong, it's not that I refuse to help him, it's that he has applied for too much land, and the land in our Yuquanying resettlement area has already been planned. I want to contract so much at once, where can I get it for him!"

"Wang Zhong said, it doesn't matter if it's far away or out of the way, as long as it's spacious enough to build irrigation canals, he's willing to contract it!"

"Wait!" Director Zhang suddenly raised his hand and called out to Ma Defu: "I seem to remember that there is such a piece of land."

After talking, Director Zhang hurried to the cabinet and took out the map of the resettlement area. Ma Defu quickly helped Director Zhang open the map.

After searching for a while, Director Zhang smiled, pointed to a place full of small dots on the map, and said: "From Jintan Village to the northwest thirty kilometers, this is the junction of Jintan Village and Xiahe Village. There is no plan for the Development Office, and the place is huge, with five or six hundred acres."

Ma Defu immediately frowned: "Director Zhang, it's too..."

"Okay, okay, I know what you want to say, but now there is no planned area, and this is the only area left. You can ask Wang Zhong. If he is willing, then he will settle here. I can also help him and the Development Office. Look over there, if it's in other places, I can't do anything about it." Naturally, Director Zhang would not intentionally make things difficult for Wang Zhong.

On the contrary, in the past few years, Director Zhang has seen and remembered Wang Zhong's contributions to Jintan Village and the nearby Diaozhuang households who came to Diaozhuang. Otherwise, he would not try his best to help Wang Zhong Brick kiln business has allowed brick kilns to not only turn losses into profits in such a short period of time, but also double their orders and production year after year.

"I can tell you that if he is willing, I can assure him that our irrigation canal will be built here." Director Zhang vowed.

"Then I'll talk to him first!"

Ma Defu rolled up the map and said goodbye to Director Zhang: "Director Zhang, then I'll go first!"

After resigning from Director Zhang, Ma Defu went to Wang Zhong non-stop, and his knot had already been resolved. Ma Defu had no grievances with Wang Zhong, so naturally there was no such thing as Wang Zhong not wanting to see him.

Ma Defu originally thought that he would have a chat with Wang Zhongfei, but Wang Zhong agreed without thinking about it.

However, there was a request.

Ma Defu returned to Director Zhang's office again.

"What are you talking about? He wants to contract all the more than 500 mu of land in this area?" Director Zhang's eyes widened, and he bounced off the stool with a whoosh, looking at Ma Defu in disbelief.

"Really or not? Defu, don't get me wrong, this matter is not a joke." Director Zhang also realized his gaffe, but he has never been the kind of person who does superficial things, so he hurriedly talked to Ma Defu confirm.

Ma Defu said: "Director Zhang, how dare I make a joke about this kind of thing. I confirmed it with him again and again, and he really said so."

"More than 500 mu of land, that's too much!" Director Zhang shook his head, thinking about it is impossible.

How could the government contract more than 500 mu of land to individuals.

"Director Zhang, Wang Zhong said that he didn't contract this land by himself. He planned to partner with Jintan Village to build an experimental farm. Even if Jintan Village asked him to develop this land, the profits he got would be paid by him. Only [-]% will be taken, and the remaining [-]% will be owned by the village collective.”

"Develop this wasteland in the name of the village collective!" Director Zhang's eyes lit up: "If this is the case, then this thing is not impossible!"

If it is an individual, Director Zhang really dare not say that, if it can be done in the name of a collective, it is still possible.

"But he has two conditions!" Ma Defu changed his voice.

"Two conditions? Two what conditions?" Director Zhang frowned and asked.

"First, after the contract period expires, Wang Zhong has the priority to contract!"

"That's easy to say!" Director Zhang said directly without thinking about it.

Now that place is barren, and there are more sand and stones than soil. Wang Zhongzhong has spent a lot of effort to develop it, and he just wants a priority contracting right, which is reasonable.

"The second condition, Wang Zhong thinks, in the first ten years of contracting, he will temporarily not pay dividends to Jintan Village collectively, and put all his energy into development. Starting from No. 11% of the net profit will be distributed to the village as dividends, and he promises that the amount of dividends will not be less than 30, and if it is lower than 2000, he will sell everything and make up for the shortfall.”

"The annual dividend of at least 2000 yuan is only 30%. He really said that?" Director Zhang hurriedly confirmed with Ma Defu.

"That's what he said!" Ma Defu said.

Director Zhang smiled happily and said: "If this is the case, then this matter will be easy to handle!"

Sure enough, three days later, Director Zhang happily found Ma Defu and told him that the matter was almost over. He had already reported to the old leader in the district, and the old leader also agreed with this matter very much. The Immigration and Development Office and the Land and Resources Office greeted him, and the application submitted by Wang Zhong was approved after a week.
