A river flows in front of Lugou Village, and the village lies just behind it. A small bridge leads to the village. The village is filled with mud and thatched houses. At this time, I don't know who is lighting a fire, but the smoke curls up, creating a beautiful and refreshing scenery.
Seeing such scenery, Zhang Xingrong's mood suddenly became much better.
As the group entered the village, someone greeted them.
"Captain, why are you here?"
After all, they were not from the same village, so they didn't know each other, but the captain and the others knew each other. But even if they didn't know each other, the villagers smiled at them and were very friendly.
The reason why Zhang Xingrong wanted to come to this village was that she knew the people here were simple and kind, and the atmosphere was good, unlike Zhangjia Village which was full of smoke and dust.
Wei Dinghui was also very friendly to everyone and smiled: "Is your captain here?"
"Captain, he's here. He just came back from repairing the canal with everyone!"
After hearing this, Wei Dinghui took a few people to the home of Luo Darong, the captain of Lugou Village.
Luo Darong was eating at home at this time. Although it was the slack season for farmers, they were not idle either.
"Boss, I think there are many springs on that mountain, and it will be difficult to grow corn. Let's just ignore that mountain." Zhao Xiaomei couldn't help but persuade.
Luo Darong was helpless: "How can we just ignore it? Our village doesn't pay much grain to begin with. If we don't do anything about it, we'll be even less likely to have any food!"
As the two were talking, shouts were heard from outside -
"Luo Darong? Is Captain Luo here?"
As the two were talking, they put down their bowls and chopsticks and walked out, and saw Wei Dinghui entering the yard.
"Hey, Captain, why are you here?"
Wei Dinghui walked over with a smile and began to offer his condolences: "Captain Luo, how's your harvest been lately? Is the corn crop any better this year?"
Captain Luo Darong did a very good job. Although the environment in Lugou Village was poor, they never made trouble, so he liked Luo Darong very much.
"Oh!" Zhao Xiaomei spoke first. "Oh no! There are springs on those two mountains over there, and with the recent rain, the water rushing down is like a flash flood. Many corn stalks have been soaked and rotted. How can we harvest anything?"
Luo Darong was helpless: "Why are you saying this?"
"Why can't I speak? Seek truth from facts and tell the truth!" Zhao Xiaomei had a good ideological consciousness and spoke in a coherent manner. "Captain, you know the situation in our village. There are two mountains over there with abundant spring water. There's too much water for growing corn, but we can't store water for growing rice. I'm afraid we'll be lagging behind again this year!"
Wei Dinghui sighed. He didn’t know what to do in their current situation!
"I have a way to solve the problem of those two mountains!" Zhang Xingrong came out and said.
She knew that Lugou Village had two mountain springs with abundant water, so growing corn and rice wouldn't be suitable. How could rice be grown on a mountain? Rice, rice, must be grown in water!
Several people didn't expect a little girl to come out and talk, and they all looked at her.
"Girl, what nonsense are you talking about? Do you know what the situation is on that mountain? Just say you have a way!" Wei Dinghui was helpless. This girl was used to making trouble, so she shouldn't make trouble here too.
Luo Darong was very kind: "Captain, this girl is..."
Wei Dinghui then introduced her: "She is Comrade Zhang Xingrong from Zhangjia Village. She said she wants to come to your Lugou Village to support construction. Captain Luo, I leave these two siblings in your care. Please arrange a place for them to live!"
"Zhang Xingrong?" Luo Darong was stunned by the name, feeling somewhat puzzled. "Our Lugou Village is not well-off. Are you really going to come here?"
