Wang Zhaozhao's summer vacation life was relaxed and regular. After about ten days, Chen Changlin suddenly asked someone to ring a gong to summon everyone to the threshing ground for a meeting.
Right off the bat, he dropped a bombshell: "We've received a notice from the commune that they're going to build a diversion canal from the Gongnong Reservoir to irrigate eighteen production brigades, one of which is Hebian Village."
"Captain, what did you say? It seemed like a thunderbolt just struck, drowning out your voice."
Many people just feel a buzzing in their heads and wonder if they are hallucinating.
Chen Changlin repeated it patiently. He understood everyone's feelings very well. He had the same reaction when he heard the news.
Wow!
The whole audience was in an uproar.
"Building the canal, it's something I've been thinking about for generations, but I never thought it would be realized in our lifetime."
"Once the canal is built, we won't have to carry water up the mountain no matter how dry the weather is."
"Isn't it? I've been carrying so much water. The calluses on my shoulders..."
“…”
Everyone had a happy look on their faces, and some even had tears in their eyes due to excitement.
Suddenly, someone started clapping, and the sound spread little by little until it became thunderous applause.
"good!"
"good!"
"good!"
Someone else took the lead in cheering, and the cheers echoed in the mountain village of Hebian Village.
Some elderly people put their hands together in front of their chests and muttered, "Thank you D, thank you government, thank you great man..."
"People's lives are getting better and better, and there is hope for life."
Wang Zhaozhao was also "forced" to attend this conference. She was deeply shocked and her eyes became moist for some reason.
That’s great…
"System reward: one hundred gold coins, one intelligence point, one physical skill point, and one combat value." The system space display wall in his mind lit up and displayed a line of words.
Huh?
So sudden?
Wang Zhaozhao was surprised, but immediately thought that this conference was the source.
"System, don't tell me that building the canal is really my credit." She consciously communicated with the system.
"Host, this is not your credit, but it is just a little bit related to it."
The system explained, "Your county has long been planning to build a canal. The Gongnong Reservoir is located just two communes away. Your direction is also included in the plan, but it hasn't been determined whether it will be in the first or second batch. Your exam essay... by chance, played a small role in making it the first batch."
Eighteen villages can benefit nearly ten thousand people, and your modest contribution should also be rewarded."
"Um."
Wang Zhaozhao nodded, she was very happy.
I am happy that I have made a small contribution to this great cause that benefits nearly 10,000 people, and I am also happy to receive the reward from the system.
One hundred gold coins, that’s a lot.
Well, even though it’s just one point or value for redemption, the number of one hundred sounds like a lot and seems more cost-effective.
At this moment, Wang Sibing suddenly turned around and looked at Wang Zhaozhao, "Niece, tell me honestly, is this matter related to you?"
When he came out of the commune that day, he felt strange and asked, what did Principal Liu and Wang Zhaozhao talk about at that time?
Principal Liu said that Zhao's chosen composition topic was "My Hometown," and even mentioned that she had gone to the county to repair the canals, and that it was a coincidence...
"Uncle Si, do you think it's possible? I'm just a ten-and-a-half-year-old elementary school student."
Yeah?
Wang Sibing was suspicious.
Wang Zhaozhao nodded and said yes.
However, she never expected that the slap in the face would come so quickly.
After letting everyone digest this great news, Chen Changlin raised his hand and pressed it down, signaling everyone to be quiet.
"Do you know why such a good thing happened to us?" Chen Changlin said.
have no idea.
Who can know this?
Wang Sibing said that he knew, but he definitely couldn't say it.
Chen Changlin didn't really want an answer, so he just said, "Rumors of the county planning to build a canal started two years ago, and surveying was arranged. By the second half of last year, the preparations were basically completed.
However, there are so many communes in the county, and under each commune there are so many production teams, so it is definitely impossible to repair them all at once. So which side should be repaired first and which side should be repaired later has become a big problem..."
Although "before and after" are just two words, the actual difference is at least two to three years, at most three to five years, or even up to ten years.
We have to dig through the mountains and walls, build and repair...
"Captain, what else is there to say about this?"
"What can we say about that? We should definitely repair the areas that are most in need first."
"How naive! With so many villages...er, production brigades, fields and land on the mountain, which one isn't in the most need?"
"So, could it be that some big shot has emerged from one of our production teams?"
“…”
Everyone started talking at the same time.
Chen Changlin let them talk for a while before continuing, "Everyone knows about Wang Dahai's daughter Zhao going to the county to take the exam, right? She wrote an essay titled "My Hometown..."
Well.
The air suddenly became quiet.
Wh, what does that mean?
Is this matter related to Zhao girl from Wang Dahai's family?
Because she wrote an essay? This... is too ridiculous, right?
Many people were unwilling to believe it, but everyone looked at Wang Zhaozhao in unison.
Wang Zhaozhao, Wang Zhaozhao, she felt like she wanted to pick up her glasses, oh, she didn’t have any glasses…
"Host, you are going to make me laugh to death." The system complained about Wang Zhaozhao's nonsensical reaction.
Wang Zhaozhao: “……!”
I'm embarrassed.
Now, what is she going to say?
He forced a dry smile at everyone and said, "Captain, you're joking. This matter has nothing to do with me. What someone said just now is very true. With so many production brigades, how can we tell which one is more needed?
Besides, such a large project requires consideration of all aspects and the most appropriate arrangements and deployments. How can a primary school student's essay influence it?
It just happened.”
Refuse to flatter.
When everyone thought about it, they felt that Wang Zhaozhao's words were very realistic.
Chen Changlin smiled, "However, the essay you wrote did bring our Hebian Village to the attention of the public. Who can say for sure whether it had any impact?"
Wang Zhaozhao: “……!”
"Uncle Captain, are you... flattering me?"
"Ah? Of course not. I'm being frank. This is a great thing that will benefit everyone and future generations. You've contributed to it, so you have to show your support."
Chen Changlin thought to himself, how can this be considered flattery? If possible, I would like to take the credit for myself. Even if it can't help me get into the commune, it will definitely increase my prestige in the village.
Unfortunately not.
