Chapter 411 In 1997, I Slowly Approached You

The surface of the river in winter is lower than usual, exposing the embankment riddled with holes.

This is an ancient road of the abandoned Yellow River. It is not the main road of water flow on weekdays, and even some areas have dried up to the bottom.

Looking at the embankment riddled with holes, Andinguo couldn't help feeling horrified. If the main river channels of the Beijiang River were in this condition, it wouldn't take much water to blow them up.

Fortunately, this is not the main road of water flow. The main road of Beijiang water conservancy is still the canal, which continues the lower reaches of the Huaihe River and connects the main water conservancy roads of the two lakes.

"All comrades, why did you bring us here? After all, this is not..."

Before An Dingguo finished his question, Liu Quanyou nodded and interrupted: "Comrade Dingguo, I know what you mean. Before the renovation, the canal section of the Beijiang River was not much better than this place."

"Even though the embankment has been renovated now, the silt at the bottom of the river is still a big problem. I plan to start the dredging project with the two rivers after the beginning of spring."

Andinguo nodded and muttered: "There is no need to clear this river, after all, it has been abandoned for a long time. Besides, the labor apportionment of the common people should be as little as possible, so that they will have more energy to focus on making a fortune. .”

Wu Tao shook his head, "Once the main canal reaches the warning water level, this abandoned Yellow River will definitely become the first choice for flood discharge."

"That's right!" Liu Quanyou, as an old Beijiang cadre, is very clear about this point, "The old abandoned Yellow River road has helped a lot in the past."

"...Moreover, the farmland on both sides of the canal's main road is fertile, and it is the main grain-producing area of ​​Beijiang. Once a disaster occurs, the loss will be great. There are more mountainous forests on both sides of the abandoned Yellow River road. Compared with , the loss is not that serious."

When it came to this point, Andinguo didn't need to say much, he understood. Immediately holding Liu Quanyou's hand, he said, "Comrade Quanyou has worked hard for the past six months."

"It's a matter of duty." Liu Quanyou was secretly relieved, but at the same time calmed down.

Seeing the two people cherishing each other, Wu Tao stepped down the embankment and said, "Secretary Liu, if you have any difficulties that Uncle An can't solve, you can come to me."

These words made Andinguo blush involuntarily.

Liu Quanyou observed his words, and interrupted with a smile: "I'll still look for Comrade Dingguo, I believe there is no problem, he can't solve it."

The two are close, Wu Tao is too lazy to talk to each other. With her hands behind her back, she went back to the front of the car, saw Ding Tiantian standing outside the car, rubbing her hands and stomping her feet, couldn't help laughing, "It's cold outside, who told you to get out of the car?"

Turning back to Song Zhuang in the car, he said, "Uncle Zhuang, turn on the air conditioner, we don't care about the oil."

He opened the car door, stuffed Ding Tiantian into the car, and Wu Tao got in right away. After closing the car door, he saw Andinguo and Liu Quanyou walk down the embankment side by side, walking towards the convoy.

Andinguo signaled Wu Tao from a distance away, "You go back first, Comrade Quanyou and I will go to the canal to have a look."

Wu Tao waved his hands at the two of them, and achieved the goal of Andinguo's attention, so he had no reason to go shopping with him.

After all, on the embankment in winter, the cold wind was blowing, and it was so cold everywhere, so it was uncomfortable.

It's more important to go home quickly, the old man is still waiting. If you go back late, you will complain.

Crown drove back to downtown Beijiang, passed by the alley of Ding Tiantian's house in the eastern suburbs, and put her down. Wu Tao got out of the car and took a bag of New Year's goods from the trunk, which were nothing more than Jinling's specialties, osmanthus duck and other food.

Ding Tiantian still wanted to decline, but was stared at by them, so frightened that she accepted it with her tongue out.

Seeing Yi Ren walking into the alley with three turns and three steps, Wu Tao's wrist was about to break, and then he saw the other party disappear at the entrance of the alley.

Stamped his feet, got into the car, and urged: "Uncle Zhuang, hurry up, I'm freezing to death."

Song Zhuang laughed, "Boss, I used to mean that those big bosses had lovers and mistresses, which was very cool. Now when I'm on you, I realize that it's actually not so comfortable. I still hug my wife and warm the bed. It's comfortable, not so comfortable. What a psychological burden!"

Wu Tao huddled in the back seat, really too lazy to answer.

Not long after, the car returned to Liyuan Village.

Standing under the tree in the cold windy village, Zhang Huilan scolded Xiaojiang and Heidan who were running around from time to time, vividly showing a picture of the nostalgia of "Looking forward to returning".

Song Zhuang stopped the car steadily, exposed his head, and called enthusiastically: "Sister, I have delivered the boss safely."

"Hey, Uncle Zhuang, why did you get a new car?" Zhang Huilan looked surprised, while Xiao Jiang and Heidan over there had already climbed into the car with hands and feet, yelling in their mouths.

Song Zhuang smiled and said: "Sister, this is not my car, it is a new car from the boss, five or six hundred thousand!"

"Why is it so expensive? We've been harvesting it for several years." Zhang Huilan looked around the new driveway: "But it's indeed much better than his dad's motorcycle."

Wu Tao, who got out of the car, was really overwhelmed when he heard this. However, what else could he say besides admitting what his wife said?

Here, Xiao Jiang and Heidan are already jumping on the back seat and urging Song Zhuang, "Uncle Zhuang, drive faster, take us for a ride..."

Wu Tao let the two children fool around, and followed his mother back home alone.

In the vineyard, there are only bare branches left, and in some places there are even no pruned branches. On the contrary, the field ridges are covered with a layer of film, and when looking through the water vapor of the film, there is a thick greenness inside.

Although tomorrow is New Year's Eve, in fact, spring has come.

Walking through the tall archway, two small lanterns extend to the front of the yard. In the cold wind, the colorful lanterns shone extraordinarily brightly.

A long distance away, Dahei in the yard smelled the smell of strangers, suddenly yelled twice, and then rushed out directly, rushing straight at Wu Tao's body.

The rapid panting sound and the warmth of wagging his tail made Wu Tao feel warmer. At least they are much better than Xiaojiang and Heidan. They are not enthusiastic at all except playing with their new car.

Zhang Huilan kicked Dahei away with her foot, and scolded at the same time: "Go away, don't stain your clothes!"

"It's okay." Wu Tao waved his hand. But Zhang Huilan refused, "It doesn't matter, this Dahei just gave birth to a litter, and his body has a strong smell, and he can't even wash it off."

After entering the far gate, the east room was brightly lit, but the main room was pitch black.

Aunt Hua, who had taken off her overalls, was busy in the kitchen, wearing a turtleneck sweater and an apron. Seeing this, Zhang Huilan was embarrassed for a while, and explained: "Your Aunt Hua insisted on doing it yourself, and didn't let me help."

Aunt Hua wiped her hands on the apron with a smile, "Sister, you have been busy for a year, taking care of the house, even the black egg is taken care of by me. During the two days of Chinese New Year, it is my turn to take care of you, so that you can have a good rest." rest."

"Aunt Hua, you guys who do big things outside work harder than me at home. Let me do it..."

This was polite again, Wu Tao couldn't get in the conversation, so he simply stepped into the east room.

He first called out Grandpa and Dad, then turned to Shi Guangyao and said, "Why are you here again?"

Shi Guangyao was also a bachelor. He spread his arms and shrugged his shoulders rascally: "This year, my father and uncle have returned to Taipei for the New Year, and I will only be at your house for the New Year. Why, do you have an opinion?"

It's like a dead pig is not afraid of boiling water.

In front of the old man, Wu Tao naturally couldn't go too far, so he narrowed his eyes and said, "You can spend the New Year with your aunt, after all, you are his...grandson...".

The words "pro-grandson" are particularly emphatic, naturally for emphasis.

Unexpectedly, the old man said, "Your great aunt is going to Taipei this year to celebrate the New Year."

Seeing the old man speak for himself, Shi Guangyao couldn't help feeling elated.

"Oh, it turns out that you were the only one who was abandoned, I really sympathize with you~"
