People in the Siheyuan: I am a Buddhist who is in a mess

Lin Yi was very satisfied with this choice of companion. As for the matter of learning from Dazhai, it would be most useful to discuss it with the team leader of the production team. After all, in this era, the team leader of the production team could be said to be the person with the most say at the village level.

This is really like a pillow when you are sleepy. There is no need to find anyone else.

Lin Yi didn't expect that there was someone in the Ning family who served as the team leader of the village production team.

I usually underestimated Ning Linyi. I didn't expect that this low-key guy has such a strong family support.

Ning Dawei, the leader of the production team of Hulukou Village, is Ning Linyi's great-grandfather.

When I first heard Ning Linyi's introduction, he first introduced Lin Yi's position in the Public Security Bureau, the deputy director of the Public Security Bureau.

Ning Dawei didn't take it too seriously. After all, the public security office of the street office couldn't control the brigade under their commune.

But when he heard that Lin Yi was also the chief of the Public Security Section of the Security Department of the steel rolling mill, his expression became even more enthusiastic, and he called him Chief Lin all the time.

In his eyes, Lin Yi's position as section chief is much more valuable than that of deputy director.

"Big brother of the Kaoshan family, go and tell your grandmother to bring the rooster from home so that we can have an extra dish for lunch."

Ning Dawei passed a cigarette to Lin Yi, who took it. It was a Daqianmen cigarette. There were dried sweat stains on the cigarette butt. It was probably the best cigarette that Ning Dawei had kept for a long time. He must have been reluctant to smoke it normally.

Lin Yi didn't dislike it and took it away.

Lin Yi also gave out cigarettes, Huazi.

Ning Kaoshan didn't understand the benefits of this cigarette, but Ning Linyi and Ning Dawei knew it, and the president of their commune couldn't smoke this cigarette either.

Ning Dawei did get one when he went to a meeting in the district.

At that time, I was still thinking about it for a long time.

"Chief Lin, if you have any instructions, just tell us. We will definitely do whatever we can for you."

Ning Dawei was already drunk before he had even had lunch or drunk any wine.

"No hurry, there is something, but it's a good thing. Let's have a good meal first, and then we can talk while drinking tea."

At this moment, Lin Yi became the host, and it seemed more like Ning Dawei was begging Lin Yi to do something.

............

Eat together.

Big rooster, stewed with mushrooms.

The cooking temperature was not quite right, but it was already the best that Hulukou Village could offer.

Seeing that Ning Linyi's mother and sister were not at the table, Lin Yi felt embarrassed to eat meat, so he quickly asked Ning Linyi to fill half a basin with chicken, and he specially picked out the good meat and took it away.

This action immediately made Ning Dawei favor her.

It’s not like he hasn’t had meals with leaders from above, but he’s never met many people like Lin Yi.

Some people, under the pretext of going to the countryside, say things like not to waste or be extravagant, but when it comes to eating meat, they are more ferocious than wild boars that come down the mountains in winter.

Lin Yi naturally didn't know that his unintentional action had earned him a lot of favor from Ning Dawei.

The wine was sweet potato liquor, and Lin Yi also drank a few glasses as the local customs did.

After having a good meal and a few drinks, Lin Yi and Ning Dawei sat in the yard of Ning Kaoshan's house and drank tea.

The tea is not a good one. It is made of old tea leaves with foam and a lot of tea stems. If you put too much in, it will be very bitter.

However, Lin Yi did not dislike it.

"Chief Lin, please tell me what your instructions are. I feel like a cat is scratching me in the heart." Ning Dawei spoke first.

Lin Yi was no longer shy and took out a newspaper with an article about how western Shanxi was learning from Dazhai.

Ning Dawei could also read, and he read word by word. After a long time, he put down the newspaper.

"Chief Lin, you are talking about the issue of diverting water for irrigation and repairing farmland, right?"

Lin Yi nodded and said, "Building small reservoirs and repairing canals to achieve high grain yields has successful cases, and it is also a good thing for your village."

Ning Dawei said in embarrassment: "It's a good thing, but there are some things that the team is also in trouble about. As for food rations, the team is not short of them. The sorghum and corn in the fields have produced quite well this year, and the team has also left a lot of food. Is it this tool?"

"Captain Ning, have you forgotten where I came from? The steel mill. Our factory is responsible for making steel. How could we be short of your tools?"

Lin Yi promised to solve the tool problem for Hulukou Village. He got the approval of Yang Aiguo and also had a approval note for the village.

Ning Dawei was still a little worried: "It's not free, right? Chief Lin, please give me a definite price. If it's suitable, I will make the decision myself, grit my teeth and change the tools, and build the small reservoir at the mountain pass before the end of the year."

"Do you want to build a small reservoir?" Lin Yi asked curiously.

These days, people in the countryside are lucky to have enough food to eat, but they are still thinking about building a small reservoir. If the person in charge does not have some courage, it is something he would not even dare to think about.

"I've always had this idea, even as early as the three years after the natural disaster, but there has never been enough food."

"We harvested more summer grain this year. After delivering the required grain, there is still a lot left, so we plan to build a small reservoir."

"There are not enough tools. It's embarrassing that in our team, not even everyone has a hoe or a shovel."

Ning Dawei sat on the table, dipped his fingers in tea, and began to paint.

He drew a topographic map of the area around Hulukou Village.

The small reservoir to be built is located between the two mountains behind the village, and is intended to block the small valley.

"There's not much water in this place, but after it rains and snows, more water flows down from the mountains. If we have this small reservoir, we can irrigate farmland during droughts, and store water during heavy rains and snows to prevent the farmland below from being washed away during heavy rains."

"Our brigade doesn't ask for much. If you can get us a thousand hoes and a thousand shovels, I'm sure we can build this small reservoir."

Ning Dawei looked at Lin Yi with hope.

A thousand hoes and a thousand shovels are not many.

"That's not too much to ask. I can help you do it. But?"

Lin Yi agreed to Ning Dawei's request, but paused.

When Ning Dawei heard that Lin Yi agreed, his face was full of joy, but when he heard the word "but", he became nervous again.

"Chief Lin, our team doesn't have much good stuff, just some pigs, chickens and ducks. I can guarantee that after we complete our annual mission, any extra stuff can be given to the steel mill."

"If it's not enough, I'll organize the village militia, go into the mountains a few times, and get some wild goods."

Ning Dawei gritted his teeth and said, "It's not safe in the mountains. Even experienced hunters are at risk of losing their lives. The large-scale deployment of the militia is actually very risky."
