TCM Gaoyuan

Chapter 119 Digging a Well
The audience fell into silence.

Hao Meiling looked at Gao Yuan speechlessly. She was still thinking about how Gao Yuan would control the situation, whether there were any secrets or tricks, and cooperating with her was that trick.

"You..." Father Yang stared blankly at Hao Meiling, but before he could react, seeing someone looking at him, Father Yang hurriedly put the bong on the ground, wanting to shake hands with Hao Meiling, but he was afraid that his hands would be dirty , I can only quickly rub against my clothes.

Father Yang said with a dry smile, "Hello, comrade, my name is Yang Ping, and I am the branch secretary of the brigade."

Hao Meiling extended her hand generously: "Hello, my name is Hao Meiling, and I'm a reporter."

Father Yang hurriedly rubbed the clothes a few times, seeing that it was still a little dirty, he said awkwardly: "It's... a little dirty..."

Hao Meiling said: "It's okay, I'm not afraid of getting dirty or tired when doing revolutionary work."

Father Yang carefully extended his hand to shake Hao Meiling's.

When they heard that even the chairman could read the articles written by this woman, the villagers were immediately nervous and excited, and even a little flustered.

Yang Degui sat on the ground and couldn't get up. He looked at Gao Yuan, then at Hao Meiling, and whispered: "Why does he know everyone?"

Yang Xiuying bit her lip quietly, with displeasure on her face.

The Wei family didn't dare to make trouble anymore, they all calmed down.Wei Lao San didn't dare to raise his voice again, but he didn't change his mind, so he whispered: "Then no matter who comes, he has to be reasonable. Our house was built with so much hard work, how could it be done?" Take it apart, just take it apart."

Seeing that his attitude was very firm, Hao Meiling joked to Gao Yuan: "It seems that it is not very effective for Dr. Gao to raise my name. Is there anything else Dr. Gao can do? Should I write this story in the report?" ah?"

Gao Yuan turned his head to look at Hao Meiling, he thought for a while, and then said to Wei Laosan: "Uncle Wei, reporter Hao came all the way to our village, and they are all in front of your house. How about pouring some water for someone to make a cup of tea?"

"Oh, yes, yes." Wei Lao San hurriedly said to Aunt Wei: "At home, go and boil the water, do you still have tea at home?"

Aunt Wei shook her head awkwardly.

Hao Meiling said politely, "Just drink some hot water."

"Hey." Aunt Wei hurriedly agreed.

Hao Meiling looked at Gao Yuan with a questioning look, what kind of trick is this?

Unexpectedly, Gao Yuan glanced at Hao Meiling, and said again: "Uncle Wei, where did you get the water for your family?"

Wei Laosan didn't even think about it, so he pointed to the small river next to him: "That's it."

"Next to the hut?" Gao Yuan showed surprise.

Hao Meiling looked at the simple yellow mud thatched hut, with flies and mosquitoes flying in and out, and the stench wafting around, she couldn't hold back for a while, and retched: "Ugh!"

The faces of the Wei family all turned green.

Aunt Wei also stood there in embarrassment, not knowing whether to boil the water or not.

Wei Laosan said anxiously: "It's not the bottom of this hut, but it's a little bit higher. Our water is clean. It's fine. It's fine to drink it raw."

Hao Meiling stroked her chest and said, "Forget it, forget it, I'm actually not thirsty either."

After finishing speaking, Hao Meiling glared at Gao Yuan.

The Wei family was also extremely embarrassed to be so disgusted by other big reporters.

But Father Yang showed admiration for Gao Yuan. He was still a college student with a lot of eyes, so he controlled the scene in one go.

Gao Yuan said: "I know it's not easy for you to build this hut, and it's close to your home, so it's convenient to go in and out, but you also have to consider hygiene issues."

The third Wei said aggrievedly, "We don't pour manure into the river, it's all for fertilizing the crops."

Gao Yuan said: "You just dug this cesspit down a bit without using cement or anything. You can see for yourself that the dirty water has seeped into the river. This river is the source of drinking water for everyone." , how dirty you made it!"

Wei Laosan said: "We don't draw water here."

Gao Yuan said: "What about the people in the lower reaches, if they get sick after eating, you don't care? What is an infectious disease, it can spread the disease. Did you forget that you just had the flu? Forget that the child got it this time Pneumonia?"

"You can bear it, you can bear it. There are no elderly people in your family? There are no children in your family? Can they bear it? Can they bear it? There are only five doctors in the four townships near us. Let you train hygienists If you don’t want to, when the infectious disease breaks out, who will care about treating you?”

The Wei family was a little embarrassed by what Gao Yuan said.

Gao Yuan sighed: "It's true that demolition of this hut has helped other people, but it has also helped you. Now everyone is in difficulty. It is difficult to see a doctor, and it is even more difficult to spend money. Who wants to be sick."

Wei Laosan was said to be very unbearable, but he still yelled: "Then why only demolish our house, why don't you demolish other people's houses?"

Gao Yuan said: "Then who made your huts near the water? The huts, barns, and manure yards on the water's edge will all be demolished. It is absolutely not allowed to pollute the water source. This is the rule."

Wei Laosan squatted on the ground, clasped his hands together, with a face full of reluctance: "Anyway, I don't agree, I won't dismantle it!"

With Gao Yuan standing here and a reporter here, the Wei family is a little more honest, but they just stand there and don't speak, at least they don't make a fuss.

Father Yang was very helpless. When he met this hard and soft guy, he couldn't do anything. Even Gao Yuan couldn't speak well, so Father Yang couldn't think of anything to do. I went to the village to find cadres."

Wei Lao San was very stubborn: "It's useless if the cadres come, anyway, I won't demolish it."

Gao Yuan frowned.

Hao Meiling clapped her hands towards Gao Yuan, and then spread her hands.

Gao Yuan didn't want to give up, so he asked Dad Yang: "Uncle, is the public hut in the village ready?"

Father Yang said: "The hole has been dug, and the house is just about to be built."

Gao Yuan nodded, and then said to Wei Laosan: "Well, Uncle Wei, if you demolish this hut, you can go to the public hut in the village to pick up a load of excrement every month to water your private plot."

Wei Laosan immediately looked up at Gao Yuan, and then at Papa Yang.

Papa Yang thought about it and nodded.

Wei Laosan was obviously moved, but he said: "But it belongs to the public house after all, it belongs to our own house, and it's close to my house."

Father Yang persuaded: "There is no way. We all drink river water here. This is water for people to drink. There is no sweet well water in the village. The water produced is either dry or smelly. We dare not even give it to livestock. They drink."

Wei Laosan was still a little reluctant.

Gao Yuan glanced back, and suddenly said: "Uncle Wei, if I can build a sweet water well next to your house, can you dismantle the toilet?"

"Ah?" Wei Laosan was stunned for a moment.

The villagers who were watching the excitement were also stunned.

Father Yang was almost dumbfounded, he asked, "Why, are you still looking for Tianshuimai?"

Hao Meiling looked at Gao Yuan unexpectedly, and she asked, "What did you study in college? You also know geology?"

Gao Yuan said modestly: "I know a little bit of everything I read in the library."
