"This...this is Feng Yatou?"
Wang Guihua was still in the motion of running into the Fu family's courtyard, standing there dumbfounded, looking at Xiao Feng who was walking out of the house, and muttering to herself incredulously.
Xiao Feng was also surprised to be caught red-handed. A look of panic flashed across her face as she glanced at Ning Jing behind her.
Ning Jing immediately stepped forward, placed her hand on Xiao Feng's shoulder, and walked out of the room with a happy expression on her face.
"Sister Guihua, Xiaofeng is awake!"
Hearing her aunt say that, Xiao Feng lowered her head and whispered to Wang Guihua.
"Aunt Guihua!"
"Oh...oh...I actually woke up, thank God!"
Ning Jing, your family truly has a case of good people being rewarded.
After saying this, Wang Guihua couldn't help but wipe her eyes, and said with a choked voice.
"This child has survived a great calamity and will surely have good fortune in the future."
"Sister-in-law, what brings you here?"
Ning Jing subtly changed the subject.
Upon hearing Ning Jing's question, Wang Guihua finally remembered why she had come over today.
"The village chief said that a reservoir is going to be built here, and each family needs to send one laborer."
Wang Guihua slapped her thigh and frowned as she spoke to Ning Jing.
"Build a reservoir?"
Ning Jing was taken aback. Xishan Village has a river, so why build a reservoir?
"Yes, I heard it's a task assigned from above, and experts will come to survey the area."
Wang Guihua was running quite fast, and was also startled to see Xiao Feng wake up, so she took a deep breath and said.
"Thank you for letting me know, sister-in-law. Please sit down and have some water!"
Ning Jing's face, which had been full of joy, was suddenly tinged with sorrow.
"No, I need to go back and tell your brother Dazhu!"
After Wang Guihua finished speaking, she hurriedly ran out again.
Ning Jing and Xiao Feng exchanged a glance. That's good, no need to make up excuses now!
After all, it's a good thing that Xiao Feng woke up; Aunt Guihua will definitely tell people.
Ning Jing did not stop Guihua from speaking.
However, considering the news brought by Sister Guihua, it's hardly good news.
After all, their family only had two able-bodied men, Fu Hongxing and her.
Fu Hongxing is already working at the coal mine. If each household really needs to provide one laborer, then it will definitely be Ning Jing.
Building a reservoir is no easy task, especially now that the weather has turned cold and the ground is frozen.
Digging would be a lot of work.
When the news spread, every household in Xishan Village complained, as no one wanted to do such manual labor in the freezing cold.
Now almost every family in the village is involved in a side business, and their income is quite good. To be honest, nobody wants to do this kind of work.
But this is a task assigned from above, who dares to object?
Tan Dingguo gathered all the villagers, including the educated youth, and did ideological work with them.
On a larger scale, building this reservoir is also a good thing for the future generations of Xishan Village. For the sake of the collective interest, they strive to support the tasks assigned by the higher authorities and resolutely uphold the decisions issued by the higher authorities. That's what makes a good comrade!
After a series of impassioned slogans, many people began to waver.
After all, most people nowadays are still very simple and honest.
The main reason was the village chief's words about thinking about future generations. Although Xishan Village has a river, the water level drops every summer, sometimes even leading to water shortages.
Ultimately, the problem lies in the fact that the tributary flowing towards them simply doesn't have enough water storage capacity.
After all, there was a big incident before when they fought with Dongxi Village over water resources, and everyone knows what happened.
