Era: Starting from cave dwellings in northern Shaanxi

Chapter 106 Where is the coal mine? where?

This day is a big day for Shuangshuiwan. Not only people from Shuangshuiwan, but also many people from Shapingba came.

The two hundred people before were naturally not absent, and Sha Hongcheng led Sha Pingba's captain Sha Zhaoliang and about ten other people to Shuangshui Bay.

Mei said his name was here to pick people up.

Moreover, the black land of Shuangshuiwan also has a share of the contribution of Shapingba.

"Have you eaten Sweet Water Well?"

The old branch secretary looked at Sha Hongcheng and asked lightly.

"Yes, I've eaten it. It's sweeter than Xiaoxian's Well in Shuangshui Bay. By the way, I gave the well in Shapingba a name. Can you help me hear it?"

Sha Hongcheng said reservedly.

"What good name can you come up with with your guts? Is it as good as 'Xiaoxianjing'?"

The old party secretary looked disdainful.

"Really? What if the well in Shapingba is called 'Xiangyang Well'?"

Sha Hongcheng smiled coldly.

"Xiangyangjing?"

The old party secretary stared at Sha Hongcheng, the expression on his face was as ugly as eating a fly.

"Okay, you surnamed Sha, can you please show some respect? If this spreads, won't it push Xiang Yang into the limelight?"

"We people in Shapingba will not snitch. Besides, is there anyone in Shapingba named Xiangyang? No, right? Since there is no one in Shapingba named Xiangyang, why can't our well be called Xiangyang Well?
You didn't look at it. That well is facing the direction of the rising sun. The sun shines there first in the morning, so it's called Xiangyang Well. Don't you agree? "

Sha Hongcheng said proudly.

He also worked hard on the name of this well, and finally decided to call it: Xiangyang Well.

The external explanation is that it is a well facing the sun.

As for the people in Shapingba, who has no idea?
Do you know who has stood up to oppose it?

They, Shapingba, are the real people who never forget to dig wells.

It's not like Shuangshuiwan, where you can forget about people just by naming it.

The old party secretary trembled angrily at Sha Hongcheng's words.

Want a face?
If you really want to calculate it this way, whose well is not facing the direction of the rising sun?
Why is Shapingba called Xiangyangjing?
"Xiang Yang, what do you think of calling the well we dug Xiang Yang Well?"

Sha Hongcheng simply ignored the old party secretary and looked at Sun Xiangyang beside him and asked.

And when he said "we", he directly expressed his identity.

"pretty good."

Sun Xiangyang nodded, could he still say bad?
"When you have free time in a few days, go to Shapingba to play. You are still young. Don't always stay in Shuangshui Bay. Go out and walk more. I often talk about you."

Sha Hongcheng took the opportunity to issue an invitation.

"Okay, I will take some time to visit the old man before the end of the year."

Sun Xiangyang did not refuse.

When the old branch secretary next to him heard this, he became more and more interested.

Although he wanted to refuse on behalf of Sun Xiangyang, with the reclamation of Heilong land, there was nothing going on in Shuangshui Bay during this period of time before the year, and he couldn't find any reason.

"Okay, everyone is still waiting over there, Xiangyang, you are the protagonist today, let's go there quickly."

The old party secretary simply took Sun Xiangyang away.

As if he had won a battle, Shahongcheng followed behind with his head held high, not feeling left out at all.

Soon, several people came to Chagouzi. When the construction started, the sign Sun Xiangyang asked someone to make was carried over again, but this time, the words on it were changed to: Shuangshuiwan Third Production Team Heilong's land reclamation victory meeting.

I don’t know who came up with such a long slogan.

But no matter what, today's conference is a victory conference.

At the beginning, Sun Xiangyang shouted the slogan of working hard for a hundred days and having enough food for the whole family. Now, they completed it two months ahead of schedule. How can it not be regarded as a victory?

So when Sun Xiangyang arrived, everyone's eyes fell on him.

At this moment, even the old branch secretary lost his luster and became a foil.

Sun Xiangyang stood on a platform specially set up on the slope of the ditch, looking at the dark crowd in front of him.

There were nearly [-] people in Shuangshuiwan and [-] in Shapingba. This was the largest conference in Shuangshuiwan.

But with several previous experiences, Sun Xiangyang can be considered stable now.

He glanced at everyone and spoke in a loud voice.

"After forty days of hard work, 75 (72) acres of black land is now at your feet. When this winter passes and next spring, crops will be planted here. It won't be long before the entire Shuangshuiwan people All can fill your stomach.

In addition, on behalf of Shuangshuiwan and the Third Production Team, I would like to thank Shapingba for its support. Without your participation, it would have taken at least a month or two to reclaim this land.

So you are also the heroes of Shuangshuiwan. "

Following Sun Xiangyang's words, everyone, even the people in Shapingba, felt proud.

For farmers who have experienced hunger, the simplest wish is to cultivate the land and fill their stomachs.

Now, Shuangshuiwan already has this foundation.

"But just filling their bellies and everyone is satisfied?"

Before everyone could digest the pride, Sun Xiangyang changed the topic and aroused everyone's hearts again.

Isn’t filling one’s stomach worth satisfying?
So what is satisfaction?
"Some time ago, when the news of the resumption of the college entrance examination came, the old party secretary asked me if I wanted to take the college entrance examination, go to university, and leave Shuangshuiwan, a poor and backward place, to go to the city and stay in the city after graduation. in the city.

There, there are better jobs and a better future.

There is no rhubarb wind that can fill a mouthful of dirt with its mouth closed, nor is there endless farm work to do every day.

So, should I leave Shuangshui Bay? "

As soon as Sun Xiangyang said these words, everyone's hearts were lifted.

Because everyone knows that the city is good. As long as you go to the city, you will have commercial food to eat, there is electricity, and even a TV.

But now that Sun Xiangyang is gone, what will they do?
Now everyone sees the changes in Shuangshui Bay and is full of expectations.

And everyone understands how these changes came about.

It can be said that without Sun Xiangyang, not to mention the black land under their feet, they would have to go several miles away to pick up water.

Perhaps they were used to Sun Xiangyang's existence, so no one thought about this issue at all.

Even if he didn't take the college entrance examination, with Sun Xiangyang's ability, wouldn't he be able to gain a foothold in the city?

Involuntarily, everyone became nervous.

Even the old branch secretary is no exception.

Although Sun Xiangyang told him that he would stay in Shuangshui Bay and develop Shuangshui Bay.

But in recent times, Lu Weiguo has been here a lot, and I don’t know how much life in the city has been described.

He was afraid that Sun Xiangyang would not be able to resist the temptation and run to the city.

Who will replace him in the future and protect Shuangshui Bay?
"At that time, I told the old party secretary that I didn't want to go to college and I wouldn't leave, because I wanted to stay here, lead everyone to live a good life, and build Shuangshuiwan better, because this is my home and my home. of roots.”

Sun Xiangyang said this resoundingly.

Everyone's hanging hearts were immediately relieved, and even the eyes looking at Sun Xiangyang were obviously different, as if the image of the other party had become much taller in an instant.

Everyone remembers this young face deeply.

Even the old party secretary sneered at Sha Hongcheng proudly.

did you see?
This is our Sun Xiangyang from Shuangshuiwan.

Don't think that by calling the well Xiangyangjing, you can snatch Sun Xiangyang away.

At this time, Sun Xiangyang continued.

“But can Shuangshuiwan develop through farming alone?
Just digging food in the fields can at best fill everyone's stomach and prevent everyone from going hungry. If we want to develop Shuangshui Bay and build it better, we must have the characteristics of our Shuangshui Bay.

So recently, although I didn't come to work with the big guys, I stepped on every inch of land in Shuangshui Bay.

Because I always firmly believe that our Shuangshui Bay is a geomantic treasure land, and the black land under our feet is a clear proof.

So, I searched again and again.

Finally, I found it! ” ˆ ˆ ˆ Sun Xiangyang said this, he waved his fist vigorously, and his face was full of excitement.

Originally, he planned to announce this matter in a few days, but just now he suddenly realized that today is the best opportunity.

The reclamation of Heilong land was successful, and the people from Shapingba have not left yet.

As long as the small coal mine was announced, it would bring him more experience points, so he immediately changed his mind.

And his words also successfully aroused everyone's curiosity.

The first thing many thoughtful people think of is the black land beneath their feet.

Wasn't it Sun Xiangyang who found it in the first place?

Could it be possible that he has found someone else now?
Even the old party secretary widened his eyes and couldn't help but took a few steps forward, as if he wanted to hear more clearly.

He knew Sun Xiangyang best. He had seen Sun Xiangyang walking around before, as if he was looking for something.

Could it be...

But Sun Enguang next to him thought of what Sun Xiangyang said to him two days ago, the so-called good news that excited everyone.

Is the announcement coming now?

As for the other people in Shuangshui Bay, they are also full of expectations.

After digging wells and blackening the land, everyone now firmly believes in Sun Xiangyang's words.

Therefore, everyone looked at Sun Xiangyang eagerly, with even a trace of nervousness on their faces.

"I found a coal mine. There is a coal mine right under our Shuangshui Bay!"

Sun Xiangyang announced the news directly without selling out.

At this moment, everyone was stunned.

Also includes people from Shapingba.

Is there a coal mine in Shuangshuiwan?

We have always been extremely poor. Except for those Shuangshui Bays in the loess land, are there coal mines?

The next second, various sounds exploded.

"Captain, do we really have a coal mine in Shuangshuiwan?"

"Where are the coal mines?"

"There are coal mines. We have coal mines in Shuangshuiwan."

"It's great. I no longer have to collect firewood or buy charcoal."

"Shut up for me."

The old party secretary no longer cared about stealing Sun Xiangyang's limelight. He summoned up all his strength to roar, then stumbled away from the crowd and came to the place closest to Sun Xiangyang. He raised his head and looked at Sun Xiangyang excitedly.

"Xiang Yang, do we really have a coal mine in Shuangshuiwan?"

"real."

"Okay, okay, there are coal mines in Shuangshuiwan, there are coal mines."

The old party secretary was dancing and dancing, not at all as steady as before.

As for the others, they were even worse than him.

Although coal mining is tiring, hard work, and dangerous, the income is also higher.

You only need to look at Jinjiawan to know this.

In recent years, I don’t know how many eldest girls have rushed to marry in Jinjiagou, just because the life there is better.

People who come out of Jinjiawan also have more confidence.

If there were coal mines in Shuangshui Bay, and the black land beneath our feet, wouldn't the days to come be better and better?
Girls in Shuangshuiwan no longer have to worry about getting married, and bachelors in Shuangshuiwan no longer have to worry about finding their aunt.

It can be said that this is definitely an opportunity for Shuangshuiwan to turn around.

"But, I have to say sorry to you guys, say I'm sorry."

Sun Xiangyang suddenly said again.

Feel sorry?

sorry?
Everyone looked at Sun Xiangyang in confusion. Isn't this great news?

Why are you sorry?

Could there be something wrong?
For people in Shuangshuiwan, today is definitely the day with the most ups and downs of mood in their lives. They are sometimes happy, sometimes worried, sometimes looking forward to it, sometimes excited, and sometimes confused.

"Xiang Yang, you are our biggest contributor to Shuangshui Bay, what do you have to be sorry for?"

The old branch secretary asked equally puzzled.

"Originally, after working hard for more than a month, everyone should have a good rest and spend the winter, but now that the coal mine has been discovered, I am afraid that everyone will not be able to rest this winter, and will even be even more tired, so I want to say sorry. "

Sun Xiangyang smiled slightly.

"Haha, you're sorry, I'll accept it, but the young and old men in Shuangshui Bay, as well as the women and children, who don't want to work hard, like Mao Dong, stand up and show it to the big guys."

The old branch secretary burst out laughing.

Cat winter?

If there is something to do in the winter, work points can be earned, and money can be earned, who would want to hide at home and watch the winter?
Wasn't there no way to do that in the past?

If it’s not Maodong, why don’t we go out and squat on the ground to drink the northwest wind?
"Captain, it's not hard for us, just lead the big guys to dig coal."

"Yes, anyway, being idle in the winter is a waste of food. Work well."

"Captain, we are all willing to work, and we are not afraid of getting tired."

Everyone shouted again.

Are you tired from working?
It must be tiring.

But if you don’t work, what will you eat?
And although working is a little tiring, at least the days are more promising.

If you don’t believe me, ask the people in Shapingba if they would like their cats to do nothing at home in winter.

It’s not that they don’t want to work, it’s that they don’t have to.

As for lying down, there is no such concept at all here, and labor is the most glorious thing.

Because working can provide food and support for the family.

Being idle will only lead to being scorned and looked down upon by others. It is something only a second-rate person would do.

Even my mother-in-law can't marry such a person.

"Xiang Yang, where is our coal mine? I will carry the shovel to dig coal right now."

The old branch secretary said again at this time.

Not far away, when Lu Weiguo, who came here specially today, heard these words, he felt that they sounded familiar, as if he had heard them somewhere.

But at this moment, he was also rejoicing.

Fortunately, I came shamelessly again.

Otherwise, he would definitely miss this great news. At the same time, he felt that the novel he wanted to write became more fulfilling.

The original decision was obviously the right one.

Following the old party secretary's inquiry, the others also looked at Sun Xiangyang eagerly.

What about coal mines?
where?

　Chapter [-], four thousand words!

　　Including the previous [-] words, it’s the same as yesterday, and it’s [-] words.

　　This is already the author's limit. One thousand words per hour means he has to write for ten hours non-stop. My hands are shaking now.

　　As for debts, I still owe a thousand words.

　　Try to do more tomorrow.

　　Okay, good night everyone.
