Lianshui is a tributary of the Xiangjiang River and the mother river of millions of people in Lianshui County, which has flowed silently for generations, nourishing and irrigating the people on both sides of the river.

In the territory of Lianshui, there are two high mountains and mountains, one Phoenix Mountain, which is in the territory of Liulin Town; A west mountain, is the big mountain in front of him, towering, majestic and magnificent, on each side stands a hill, like two claws, like a lion pounces. The meandering ripples of water flow away from the foot of the West Mountain.

The designers of the reservoir built a dam to enclose the two lion's paws and the lion's body in the shape of a bowl. Another water diversion channel will be built to intercept the Lianshui halfway and divert the water into the reservoir, plus the underground spring water, mountain spring stream water, enough water to store water in the reservoir.

The reservoir project was suspended due to financial problems, and the original beautiful scenery at the foot of the West Mountain is now covered with loess mud, and the huge reservoir deep pit, like an open mouth of blood, laughs at the parents and officials of Lianshui County.

The dam has been built half high, and there is a pool of water in the reservoir, which is composed of spring water and underground water from the mountains, and the water of the Lianshui River will not be brought in until the dam is completed.

The water conservancy engineer who came with him said worriedly: "Now the mountains and rivers are scarce, this half of the Lazi earthen dam can still resist, and after the spring of the next year, the rainy season, the flash flood, the reservoir must be full of water, this hard-working earthen dam, I am afraid that it will not be of any use, then there is only a flood discharge, but the corresponding ditch has not been dug well, how can the flood be discharged?" Below the reservoir, there are thousands of fertile fields and hundreds of houses, if the rainy season is longer and the rainfall is heavier, the consequences are simply unimaginable. ”

The listener was moved.

Xue Xue said angrily: "If we don't solve this problem as soon as possible, we will all become sinners of millions of people in Lianshui County!" ”

All the leaders of the bureau bowed their heads in shame and did not dare to speak.

The mountain wind was bitter, and the mountains whimpered.

A farmer carrying firewood walked by, looked at a well-dressed leader, opened his voice, and sang a mountain song: "Lianshui has produced good cadres, and he runs the department every day to ask for projects." Asked for 50 million dollars, and took out half of it to repair the treasury. Requisitioned manpower and fields, and dug a yellow spring well. ”

Qiu Feng said angrily when he heard this: "Who is singing nonsense?" I'm going to get him! ”

"Nonsense!" Xue Xue snorted, and her face turned even bluer.

The peasants carried firewood and walked away with haha.

Li Yi said: "Listen to the meaning of the song just now, the reservoir project has indeed expropriated the farmers' fields, and County Magistrate Xue, I want to visit the local area." ”

Xue Xue said: "Let's go together." ”

Li Yi was silent, and his eyes glanced at the surrounding bureaus.

Xue Xue Hui came to her senses and said to Xie Limin and the others: "You all go back, the county can't leave so many bureau chiefs at once, and the people below can't find anyone, so they will jump over the wall in a hurry." I'll just stay! ”

Li Yi smiled at this time: "Everything is arranged by County Magistrate Xue." ”

Xue Xue thought to herself, why listen to my arrangement? If it suits your liking, just listen to my arrangement, if it doesn't suit you, the birds will not bird me! Hum! However, this is also where his job responsibilities lie, and he cannot be blamed.

When everyone was far away, Xue Xue asked, "Section Chief Li, have you found anything?" ”

"I don't believe that County Magistrate Xue can't see it?" Li Yi asked rhetorically.

Xue Xue just nodded and pointed to the farmhouse below: "Let's go and visit." ”

The two of them got off the dam and stepped on the grass to wipe the mud off their shoes.

In the southern provinces, old houses in the countryside were built with halls, which were used to hold family sacrifices and important ceremonies.

Came to a farmhouse, the door of the hall was open, a group of chickens clucked, a big yellow dog squatted lazily on the ground, as soon as he saw the living people entering, the yellow dog got up violently, barked at Li Yi and Xue Xue, the hen fluttered around with the chicks, and the chicken feathers and dust flew around.

Xue Xue was obviously startled, pulled Li Yi's arm tight, and hid behind him.

Li Yi comforted her and said, "Don't be afraid, this dog doesn't bite." ”

The dog really just barked fiercely, and didn't come.

Xue Xue asked a little strangely, "How do you know?" ”

Li Yi laughed and said, "Biting dogs don't bark." You see its tail, it is xiangshang upright, which proves that this is a healthy dog, there is no epidemic or anything, and it will not bite people indiscriminately. ”

Xue Xue still hid behind him and didn't come out, and said with a smile: "I can't imagine that you still have a dog nature!" ”

An old woman of sixty or seventy years old came out of the house, scolded twice, and the dog became honest, stopped barking, wagged its tail, and looked at Li Yi.

The old man spoke in the local dialect, but fortunately, Li Yi had learned a little from Fang Fang, and he could still listen to a general idea, and after a few conversations, he asked: "Grandma, do you know that there is compensation for the villagers in the Xishan Reservoir?" ”

"What? Cloth shoes? "The old man is a little behind his ears, and he can't really hear it.

Xue Xue couldn't help but hahadaxiao.

Li Yi glared at her, so he had to end the conversation, and came to another family, where there was a young daughter-in-law, holding a doll, and was breastfeeding, when he saw the two coming in, he looked at the two curiously.

Li Yi said: "Hello, I am an investigator from the provincial government......

"What do you want to do?" The woman was very vigilant, and at the same time hugged the baby in her hand tightly, and shouted: "I only gave birth to one baby, it's not illegal!" ”

Li Yi hurriedly explained: "We are not from family planning, no matter these things, we are here to investigate the compensation of Xishan Reservoir." Do you know something? ”

"Is there any compensation for repairing the reservoir?" The woman obviously didn't know about this: "My man has been working in the reservoir for more than half a year, and he has been paid two months' salary, and the rest of the wages have not been paid!" ”

Li Yi glanced at Xue Xue, and Xue Xue frowned. Li Yi took out a pen and paper and quickly recorded.

Li Yi asked: "Then have you ever heard that there is a family in the village that has received compensation money, that is, they occupy his family's land and land, and the government will give a certain amount of economic compensation." ”

The woman thought for a moment and shook her head: "I haven't heard of this." ”

Li Yi asked her man about his work in the reservoir, and then asked his man's name.

The woman said: "You are from the provincial capital, can you take care of the wages in the reservoir?" Tell them to hurry up and pay their salaries, we are still waiting to use it. ”

Li Yi responded: "We will react, don't worry, the arrears of wages will definitely be put down." Difficulties are only temporary, and you have to trust the government. ”

The two stayed for a few minutes and then came out, visiting more than a dozen houses from house to house, and the situation was almost the same, no one had heard of the compensation, and almost every family had wages in arrears and had not been paid. Zuihou came to a small earthen house, the roof was covered with straw and asbestos tiles, Xue Xue wrinkled her nose and said, "This house is too shabby, isn't it?" ”

Li Yi said: "Now the life of the peasants is very hard, you see, the whole village is basically adobe houses, relying on the soil to eat, it is difficult to improve the lives of the peasants, many families are only in the food and clothing line, even eating meat is very luxurious, let alone building a new house." ”

Xue Xue said sadly: "If you don't go to the countryside, you don't know the hardships of the peasants!" ”

There was only one old man in the room, in his seventies, with gray hair, who was very enthusiastic about the two of them, and made them hot tea.

Li Yi said gratefully: "Thank you grandpa!" Grandpa, please sit down, I'm an investigator from the province to learn about the Xishan Reservoir. ”

"Oh! It turned out to be a big cadre from the province, hello! "The old man seems to be very talkative, and when he was young, he may have traveled from south to north, and he can speak acceptable Mandarin.

"Grandpa, are you alone at home?" Xue Xue looked around and asked.

"Well, just one person. When I was young, I was a soldier, I went to war, and when I came back, I was old, and I couldn't marry a daughter-in-law, so I lived alone! The old man laughed, not in the slightest bit unhappy.

"It turned out to be a revolutionary old-timer! Disrespectful! Li Yi stood in awe and sat up straight.

"I'm also an old party member, don't look at my age, my body is fine, I can withstand the toss, I have participated in the work of repairing the reservoir in the past two years." The old man had a loud voice and spoke happily.

Li Yi said: "With such conditions as yours, you should be regarded as a five-guarantee household, right?" It's an old revolution again, and there is relief from the state, so you don't have to do work, right? ”

"I can work, I can farm, I can support myself, and I don't have to spend a penny on the state." The old man talked happily, and insisted on boiling a pot of wine to drink, but was stopped by Li Yi: "We are working, we can't drink, we are free another day, I will accompany you to have a drink, let me ask something, does the Xishan Reservoir occupy the fields and mountains of the villagers?" ”

"If you occupy it, how can you not occupy it? The mountain, the land, and the soil were all distributed to every household by the production team, and now they are all occupied. I also have a piece of land at the foot of the West Mountain, and I used to grow sweet potatoes and turnips. "The old man has a good memory, and he can even name each piece of land.

Li Yi asked, "Did the government give compensation?" ”

The old man waved his hand and said, "What kind of compensation!" The construction of this reservoir was originally for our good, and to produce a little land, what is it? Besides, this land originally belonged to the state, and now it is used to build a reservoir, which is a good thing taken from the people and used for the people, which one will have to compensate? ”

Li Yi asked, "So, has the government told you about this?" ”

"The village cadres have said it, that's what they said!" The old man replied, as if he remembered something, got up and brought a bowl of peanuts over, and placed it in front of the two of them: "I grew it myself, you can eat some, it will be sweet." ”

Li Yi said: "Grandpa, the village cadres said at the time that this field belongs to the state, and now it should be taken back to build a reservoir, take it from the people, and use it for the people, right?" ”

"Right!" The old man woke up: "What? What else is there to say here? ”

Li Yi said: "No, we just do an investigation. So, in this case, not a single family in the village has ever received compensation? ”

"No," the old man shook his head like a rattle, "the state paid us to build the reservoir, how can we still ask for the state's money?" ”

"Have you paid your salaries?" Li Yi asked.

"It's been sent for two months, and the back has not been sent, saying that it is difficult to fund, and we have to wait." The old man's answer was the same as that of most of the villagers.

"Thank you grandpa, we'll accompany you again when we're free!" Before Li Yi left, while the old man was not paying attention, he took out a few hundred yuan and pressed it under the peanut bowl.
