Chapter 378 Returning to Beijing
Chapter 378 Returning to Beijing
The dam was officially put into use in August 68.
After more than two months of sedimentation, the water in the reservoir is crystal clear.
However, since the water in the reservoir is too deep and not suitable for fish farming, we had to give up.
But you can raise some accordingly, and cast a net to catch them when you have nothing to do.
Bai Baoshan also came at night and released a lot of fish, shrimps and crabs.
It doesn't matter if you catch a little bit, but it's good to give the local people more fish to eat during the New Year.
This can be regarded as the last bit of blessing left by Bai Baoshan. I hope it will last long.
On September 68, 9, the mayor of Yan'an personally opened the sluice gate, which was 15 meters underwater.
A stream of clear water spurted out.
It branches out directly along the repaired waterway and then flows to various villages.
Flowing from the village to the fields.
Each village also dug a small lake at the end of the waterway so that the flowing water would not be wasted. When there was a shortage of water for irrigation, water could be drawn from the lake, and fish could also be raised here, killing two birds with one stone.
A group of city and township leaders were holding onto the more than 100 people headed by Bai Baoshan and were unwilling to let go.
This is just one reservoir. How big is Yan'an? How many places have difficulty in getting water?
On a larger scale, how big is Shaanxi, how much water does it need, and how many reservoirs like this are needed?
I really want to lock Bai Baoshan up here, but he won't do it.
If Bai Baoshan knew what these people were thinking, he would want to run away immediately. What a joke! People in later generations haven’t solved the water problem on the Loess Plateau, and you want me to handle it alone?
But those who need to leave still have to leave.
After staying for another week, on September 9, Bai Baoshan bid farewell to the enthusiastic leaders, who had no choice but to let him go.
I won’t walk when I go back.
The city leaders arranged 8 trucks to reluctantly take everyone to Xi'an Railway Station, where Bai Baoshan and others could leave by train.
After two days of wandering, we finally arrived at the Beijing Railway Station.
I didn't expect that I would be away for almost two years.
I don’t know if the people above have forgotten me.
The train stops at the station.
There was nothing wrong when I got off the train, except that there were a lot of people at the station today, and they were very friendly.
But when everyone walked out of the station one after another, they were dumbfounded.
Banners and flags.
It says "Welcome home heroes" on it.
What the hell? Could it be that a hero has returned and I'm just in the way?
Everyone quickly moved aside.
It's not good to be misunderstood.
However, before everyone could take two steps back, a group of reporters with cameras came up and started taking pictures.
Then a group of leaders came over and started shaking our hands.
He keeps saying that they are all heroes or something.
The scene was chaotic and the leader spoke in a low voice, so it was impossible to hear what he was saying.
In the end, both sides could only laugh. The leader Chang Huai laughed loudly, while Bai Baoshan and others could only laugh awkwardly.
But I still understood a little from those few words.
The contribution of these people, because they built a reservoir in the mountainous area, is no less than that of Yugong, and their spirit is no less than the spirit of the Red Flag Canal.
Finally, under the leadership of the leaders, groups of three got on a car.
The car started moving away from the hustle and bustle, and when it stopped, we arrived at a solemn place, the Great Hall.
Many people are confused. Is this possible?
Led by the staff, everyone stepped onto the steps and walked into the solemn place.
Entered a small living room.
A thin, handsome old man with his hair combed backwards and meticulously dressed walked over with a smile.
A mandarin voice with a northern Jiangsu accent rang out, "Comrades, welcome back. You have all worked hard."
"No... no hard work for you. As a party member, when you see people in difficulty, you should stand up and do what you want from your heart, not talk about hard work."
“Haha…you little comrade, are you very interesting?
I know you, your name is Bai Baoshan, you are very good. "
I shook his hand. It was strong, but a little calloused.
The old man smiled at Bai Baoshan, and shook hands with Qiao Yun beside him. At this time, the girl didn't know what to say.
Among this group of people, only Bai Baoshan said a few words. The others just kept grinning and nodding, unable to say a word.
Knowing that everyone had not eaten, he had already arranged for a chef to invite everyone to dine together.
The meal is simple home cooking, but the taste is exquisite.
Bai Baoshan ate three bowls of rice by himself.
The others just ate the bowl that was given to them.
All the staff were looking at Bai Baoshan, and he was the first one to ask for more rice when eating here.
He also finished all the three dishes and one soup in front of him.
Even the food that Qiao Yun was embarrassed to finish was eaten by Bai Baoshan.
I had a burp and felt good.
The one burping here is probably Bai Baoshan.
The only people who finished their food at the scene were Bai Baoshan and Qiao Yun, as well as the elderly man who ate with everyone and a group of accompanying officials.
As for the others, they excitedly took a few bites of the food, fearing that they had done something wrong.
When the meeting ended, it was already 3pm and no one wanted to see them off.
Bai Baoshan didn't need it, but the others were embarrassed to do so.
I haven't been back to Beijing for two years. Have there been any changes? There are some subtle changes, but not many.
Qiao Yun was in a hurry to go home, so she just looked at both sides of the road quickly. The whole journey took her 20 minutes.
If Bai Baoshan hadn't pulled her back, Qiao Yun would have wanted to run back home.
When I arrived at the door of my house, it was only 3: in the afternoon.
Bai Baoshan took out the key from his pocket and gave it to Qiao Yun.
The girl was so excited that she inserted the key incorrectly twice.
Click... the door lock opens, and the door bolt is just like a combination lock, it pauses back and forth a few times before it can be opened.
With a squeaking sound, the door was pushed open.
This door hasn't been opened for two years. It definitely needs oiling.
There was a thick layer of fallen leaves and dead branches on the ground when I entered the door, and I had no idea where they came from.
Especially the roof, there was grass and a few small trees growing on it.
I hope there's no water leak in the room.
After opening the door, Qiao Yun ran in first.
Bai Baoshan was at the back, opening all the windows.
Because it smells musty.
After all, the house has been empty for 2 years.
With a sweep of his mental power, all the spiders and small insects were crushed to death.
I even swept the yard.
Even the ant nest was not spared.
There are no more insects in the yard, and the ants that stay will starve to death.
Carefully pull out all the small trees and grass on the roof.
The whole house was swept from top to bottom.
No insect bites, no leaks, very good.
As for the tiles that were a little loose, Bai Baoshan used his mental power to restore them to their original state.
After going up to the second floor, the girl was still wandering around every room.
Seeing Bai Baoshan coming back, he rushed over to him.
"Brother...we are back."
"Well, I'm back."
"Then...shall we go take a shower?"
"Silly girl, okay, take a shower. First, make the bed and change the sheets and quilts. I'll go downstairs to boil some water." Bai Baoshan scratched Qiao Yun's nose.
Bai Baoshan went downstairs and tidied up his grandfather's room first. He took out some Yan'an specialties from his backpack, put them on a plate, and lit three incense sticks.
The flowers in the yard are growing in a mess anyway, mainly because no one is taking care of them and they have grown wildly.
Anyway, it's almost October now, and they won't grow much longer, so just leave them alone.
Clean the boiler, especially the water pipes, which requires draining water.
In two years, this place is full of stains.
Bai Baoshan cleaned the pool in the yard and used the released water to flush the pool.
The original water here has long dried up.
Half the pool was filled with leaves and mud.
No matter what is here, just throw it all into the pond in space.
Rinse the pool clean with running water.
The next moment, most of the pool of water reappeared.
There is a layer of silt at the bottom of the pool, as well as various aquatic plants, and some fish and shrimps are placed there.
As for the lotus, we’ll talk about it next year.
After cleaning these, add water to the boiler, boil the boiler first, then ignite 6 coal balls and place them under the boiler instead of firewood.
The water temperature has reached 70 degrees at this time.
I went into the bathroom, cleaned the bathtub thoroughly and filled it with water.
Qiao Yun has already cleaned up the kitchen.
As for the small warehouse, we’ll talk about it tomorrow. The vegetables and some other things there can’t be taken away.
Just throw it away.
"Hehe...Brother, take a shower."
"Okay, take a shower."
The girl had long lost her initial shyness and became more proactive when she got home.
After a period of hard work, I was exhausted. I looked at the watch and it was already 7 o'clock in the evening.
There was nothing to eat at home, only some local specialties. It was impossible for Bai Baoshan to take out some ingredients out of thin air after not having a home for two years, right?
No matter how stupid Qiao Yun was, she knew there was a problem.
The stove is lit, and the gas is working.
Had a meal of local specialties.
It was considered as having dinner.
After dinner, Qiao Yun cleaned up virtuously.
They sat in the yard for a while and looked at the stars in the sky.
"Brother, I want to sleep, carry me upstairs."
"okay."
When they reached the bed, Qiao Yun's sweet lips pressed against his, and of course Bai Baoshan had to accept.
