A few young people who were making jokes immediately burst into laughter.
"Yes, yes, yes, we were wrong. Comrade Hu, don't take it to heart, and don't make a fuss when you get home, or my dad will beat me up again if he finds out."
There was laughter at the scene, but Old Hu was sighing secretly.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, Zhang Hongcheng patted him with a smile.
"Comrade Lao Hu, I'm not kidding you. I'm speaking to you as a county magistrate."
"Now! Immediately! Pull the team and equipment over here."
The queue for water was so tight that you could hear a pin drop. Everyone looked at the young county magistrate in disbelief.
Having fun!
Near a vegetable garden about four hundred meters away from the well.
A garbage dump was opened by everyone working together, revealing a piece of muddy ground with a light green hue.
After seeing this piece of land, Old Hu looked at the surrounding terrain and his eyes suddenly lit up.
He didn't care how dirty the ground was. He stretched out three fingers, wiped the mud, and licked it with his tongue.
Um?
Um! !
"Zhang Xian, the place you picked is really... interesting."
Many county residents who came to watch the fun immediately started talking about it.
"Hey, it's been ages since I heard Old Hu say something interesting."
"I think it's hard to say. Over the years, everyone has been eagerly anticipating the outcome, but in the end, they're still there to help Old Hu fill the void."
"Well, who knows today, no matter how capable Old Hu is, can he compare to that college-educated county magistrate?"
Amidst everyone's discussions, the well-drilling rig had already been erected.
The well-drilling team members, who were strong, muscular and dark-skinned, completed the equipment installation work efficiently despite the lingering heat of autumn.
"Zhang Xian, how many meters do you think we should cut?"
Old Hu regretted what he said as soon as he said it.
His question was unnecessary. From their previous conversation, he clearly knew that the young county magistrate knew nothing about this line of work.
"Twenty-two meters! Dig a deep well!"
The smiling voice that came out of the young county magistrate's mouth was so unquestionable and firm.
Zhang Hongcheng certainly had this confidence. It was not until 1990 that H County invited national experts and the latest detection equipment to find out the distribution of rocks, soil and underground rivers under the county.
Twelve wells were drilled at once, and eight of them found water.
So for Zhang Hongcheng, who knew the locations of these water wells, digging six or seven wells with water was the fastest way for him to win the trust of the county residents.
The drilling team always works day and night. In the middle of the night, when Zhang Hongcheng was sleeping soundly in the county compound, a burst of irrepressible cheers came faintly from the west of the county town.
Zhang Hongcheng, who was half asleep, raised the corners of his mouth slightly and added another drama to himself.
"Ding, Zhang Hongcheng H County Residents' Prestige +10!"
He muttered, turned over, and fell into a deep sleep again.
"Haha, don't worry, everyone... ZZzzz, besides that large well that can only be dug with technology from later generations... ZZzzz, wait for the County Magistrate to find the rest of the wells for you one by one."
"Oh, ZZzzz, and that new theory about finding water in H County that was developed by later generations of experts, ZZzzz, I have to memorize it... I can't let it slip... ZZzzz."
