"Qin Ling, it's time for you to cook today!" Come back and rest for a while, and it's time to cook.

Qin Ling's face was embarrassed, she didn't know how to cook, but she was afraid of fetching water, Baidian Village belongs to an arid area, there has been a shortage of water since ancient times, the well is very deep, and the rope for lifting water is 100 meters long, it is not easy for such a thin girl as Qinling to lift the water, and when she lifted the water for the first time, she was almost beaten into the well by the wheel, and since then she shivered when she saw the wheel.

"Come, let me tell me, everyone has seen the well in the village, and the ones with little strength not only can't hit but also have the danger of falling, so I think let's do a division of labor, and let the boys do the work of fetching water in the future, and the girls help the boys wash and sew their clothes as compensation, do you think it's so suitable?" Shen Long called everyone over and said.

"Agreed, my clothes have been torn for days." Jiang Shaoan was the first to raise his hand in favor.

"You have to bring your own socks and trousers." The girls also expressed their support, and Qinling was not the only one who was afraid of fetching water.

"I'm so poor, and there's still pants there!" Hu Jianjun began to be funny, this matter was settled, Qin Ling smiled at Shen Long gratefully, and this man's carefulness touched her again.

After eating, a few educated youths who love to learn are reviewing their homework in the cave, and the rest are huddled in the quilt to brag and chat, Shen Longti found Bai Mingchuan with the things he bought back from the county, "Bai Zhishu, I came back from the county and reported to you." ”

It just so happened that the village accountant was also there, and the three of them didn't take much effort to get it done, Bai Mingchuan sighed, "We finally have a school in our village again, thanks to these dolls from the city." ”

"We have filled the village with so much trouble, and we should do something about it." Shen Long didn't want to be like other educated youth, and after returning to the city, he didn't leave anything but a song "Xiaofang".

"By the way, Bai Zhishu, Accountant Wang, let me ask, is it convenient for us to buy things in our village?" The accountant's surname is Wang, his name is Wang Mantang, and it just so happens that he has a daughter named Wang Shufen, but Shen Long inquired, this Wang Shufen's child will play soy sauce, and it will not be Li Kuiyong's wife.

"It depends on what to buy, buy some oil, salt, kerosene or something, and walk twenty miles to the commune supply and marketing cooperative; If you want to buy other things, you have to go to the county seat. Wang Mantang replied.

"That's not close, it takes half a day to go back and forth to the commune, and when you go to the city, you have to get up early and leave early, and you can only come back after discrediting." Shen Long said, "As soon as you come and go, it will be delayed in a day." ”

"Isn't it! When I ran out of kerosene at home, I still borrowed it from Mingchuan, and it took three days to replace it, so Mingchuan didn't dare to light the lamp at night, for fear that the kerosene would run out. Wang Mantang smacked two puffs of dry tobacco and complained.

"Branch secretary, I have an immature idea, don't you think so." Shen Long said his own method, "There are many people in our village who go to the commune and the county seat to buy things every month, which is not only inconvenient for everyone, but also affects the repair of water conservancy. ”

"Well, that's the case, there were at least twenty or thirty people who took leave to buy things last month, how much less earth were dug up?" Bai Mingchuan is very clear about these things, "Do you have a way to solve this problem?" ”

He said that if the village is willing to come forward, he can give credit to some matches, oil, salt, kerosene, these commonly used daily necessities in the village, and sell them in the village, and then find them once a month, and then ship the next month's things back." Shen Long said his own method, which was also the method he found from the memoirs of educated youth.

"Can the county supply and marketing cooperatives agree?" Bai Mingchuan, like most village cadres, is timid and constrained, and the first thing that comes to mind when encountering changes is possible obstacles.

"I told them good things for a long time, and they finally agreed, we are a business-to-business matter between the village party branch and the county supply and marketing cooperative, as long as the price is not increased, the original price can be sold to the villagers, which is not in conflict with the current policy." Shen Long said it lightly, but in fact, it took a lot of effort.

"This is a big deal, and we have to convene an enlarged meeting of the party branch to discuss it." Bai Mingchuan smoked a dry tobacco, but he still didn't make a decision easily.

"This is as it should be, in addition, the construction of this consignment point also needs a special person to be responsible, it is best to read and read and know how to keep accounts, and give them the calculation of work, so that it will not affect the repair of water conservancy; If there is no suitable person in the village, I can help with the training. Shen Long is not in a hurry, he has already figured out Bai Mingchuan's temperament, and there is a great hope that this matter will be done.

"Your daughter-in-law and the daughter-in-law of the Mingli family can read and write, but they need to be taught to keep accounts." Wang Mantang is now starting to think about the candidates, "Let them learn, and then take turns on duty." "It's a lot easier than going to the construction site, and who wouldn't want their children to be more comfortable?

Sure enough, that night, Bai Mingchuan and Wang Mantang went door-to-door to gather the people of the party branch, and Shen Long held an enlarged meeting, and finally decided to go to the county seat in a few days to ask.

When Bai Mingchuan drove, only one Shen Long sat in the car, and when he came back, the car was full of matches, kerosene, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and soap and other daily necessities, not only that, Shen Long also got some standing medicine and a "Barefoot Doctor's Manual" from the hospital and came back, which not only added a consignment point in the village, but also added a medical point.

In the future, if people in the village want to buy something or see some minor illnesses, they don't need to go to the city, Sun Xiaoxia's parents are doctors, they know something about something, and then look at this book, ordinary minor problems can be solved, at least much stronger than now.

"Shen Long has done a great thing for our Baidian Village this time." The men, women and children of the village were crowded at the door of the consignment point, looking at the goods inside happily, and giving Shen Long a thumbs up.

Sun Xiaoxia is also grateful to him, she can get work points by guarding the medical point, and she has free time to read and study, which is much better than herding sheep and cooking, and she also wrote a letter home to ask her parents to send a few more medical books to better serve the villagers.

"Don't be envious, everyone, the chairman said, the vast countryside is promising, it's just the beginning, as long as we are willing to think of solutions, life will always get better day by day." Seeing that the other educated youths were a little lost, Shen Long comforted.

The weather is getting colder and colder, the construction site is gradually stopped, and the people in the village are idle, Shen Long is not willing to lie down in the winter, he called a few educated youths who are willing to go, and they came to the wilderness together.

"There is not much food left for us in the village, I estimate that we will not be able to last the spring wheat harvest, we have to prepare in advance, see if we can find some wild vegetables, dig a few vole holes......" This is the excuse that Shen Long came up with, in fact, he has another purpose.
