Zhang Hongcheng didn't stay at the construction site for long. Early the next morning, he leisurely returned to the wetland farm to continue preparing for his wedding.
It was not until the morning of the third day that Chu Miaohong drove him over.
Because all the educated youth in the Hongqi Farm found that the water level in the wetland was dropping rapidly.
The project of dredging the underground river is not small, but the whole village of Bahezi went completely crazy when they heard Zhang Hongcheng say that as long as the underground river was dredged, the water levels of the almost dried-up rivers and ditches in the fields would be restored.
Hundreds of men and women in the village worked day and night, taking turns to fight.
When Zhang Hongcheng returned to the construction site, the dredging of the underground river was almost complete!
Tang Dahui and Cao Xianjin, whose eyes were red, had hoarse voices and weak hands and feet when they spoke to Zhang Hongcheng, making Zhang Hongcheng fear that the two old men would die suddenly in the next second.
"Director Xiao Zhang, you're really smart... Well, by noon yesterday, the water levels in the village river and the fields had already recovered by half. We estimate that by this afternoon, they'll be back to previous years' levels!"
"Director Xiao Zhang, Director Xiao Zhang, how do you want our entire team to thank you?!"
The two old men's prediction was absolutely correct. By around two o'clock in the afternoon, the water level of the small river at the entrance of the village had risen to below the washing stone slabs.
Many team members just took a short nap at home, and then ran to the fields without touching the ground amid the sound of gongs.
It is already late for spring plowing. Tang Dahui and several village cadres discussed that they would probably have to work late into the night for several days in the future.
As for the case of the girl from the Cao family, no one cares about it now.
Zhang Hongcheng walked around the village twice out of boredom, and found that there was no one even in the village's educated youth center.
Except for a few old men and women who were unable to move, the entire production team was divided into several production teams and stayed in the fields.
If it were another cadre like Zhang Hongcheng, who didn't even go out to the fields and just stayed at the team headquarters, I'm afraid the villagers would have been full of rumors.
But no one in the village thought that Zhang Hongcheng should go to the fields and work with them, not even the educated youth who claimed to be knowledgeable and experienced.
Everyone looked at Zhang Hongcheng with eyes full of respect and cherishment.
Cao Xianjin, with his face covered in mud, did not forget to provoke and remind Yang Dahui - Director Zhang is a very capable person, and he cannot be allowed to work in the fields and hurt his health.
Others would have their meals delivered to the fields, while the villagers in Bahezi Village would deliver the freshly cooked meals to Zhang Hongcheng at the team headquarters.
This made Zhang Hongcheng feel quite embarrassed, so he decided that after finishing the call, he would move a small stool to the village entrance to help people watch over the village.
Zhang Hongcheng’s first call was to Hongqi Wetland Farm.
He wondered how the water level inside the wetland had receded today?
Chu Miaohong had just inspected the wetlands, especially the area where they had previously reclaimed farmland.
"Tell me the truth, how did you do it?"
Chu Miaohong's tone on the phone was eight parts surprise and two parts suspicion.
"I'm a little suspicious. The water level in the wetland hasn't receded. Is it your doing?"
"Nonsense!"
"Comrade Chu Miaohong, your suspicion of comrades has severely dampened the work enthusiasm of a certain advanced comrade!"
"You will pay the price..."
"Bah! Afraid of you? Haha."
"By tonight at the latest, the water level in the wetland will return to its original state. I just checked the fields we reclaimed earlier, and they are now completely exposed."
"Wang Fengzhi and Jiao Dinghui said that as long as the land is exposed to the sun for two more days, it can be reclaimed."
"They all say that our land this year is probably the most fertile in all of Northeast China..."
After talking on the phone with his fiancée for the entire morning on the team headquarters' phone, Zhang Hongcheng finally explained the serious matters with a reluctant look on his face.
The only serious thing he had to say was just one sentence.
"We immediately reported this to the Water Conservancy Department of the Department of Land Reclamation: We at Hongqi Wetland Farm worked together and, in just three days, resolved the wetland water level issue that the former Northeast Construction Corps hadn't resolved for over two years!"
"Is there anyone like you? If you give feedback like that, you'll offend everyone!"
Zhang Hongcheng chuckled.
"Then you'll be responsible for organizing the language. The only thing you need to do is report it promptly and quickly."
When Tang Dahui was called back to the team headquarters from the field, he thought Zhang Hongcheng had something very important to tell him.
As a result, as soon as he walked into the team headquarters, he saw Zhang Hongcheng smiling and handing him the microphone.
"Comrade Lao Tang, have we forgotten something?"
"The commune is still waiting for our report on our village's water problem, don't you think?"
Zhang Hongcheng smiled naturally, without any sign of embarrassment on his face.
It seems like there is someone else urging others to take credit for him...
Tang Dahui understood what he meant and took the phone, and immediately called the commune.
Instead, he felt a little embarrassed.
Director Xiao Zhang helped his production team solve the biggest problem on his first day. He should have reported the matter to the commune long ago.
It was all his fault that he was too focused on the things on the farm and delayed this matter.
As people who work in the industry, we naturally know that the impact of reporting some achievements one day in the morning is very different from that of reporting them one day later.
An old man who can hold the position of production team leader is naturally not really clumsy in speaking.
Tang Dahui talked to the director of the commune on the phone for an hour, exaggerating Hongcheng's abilities in various ways.
