Qixing Lake is located in Daqingshan, and the surrounding land has long been developed. It is the only rice-producing area in Kaoshantun.
Affected by the terrain, Daoxiang Lake is not a complete large lake, but is divided into two large lakes and five small lakes, which are connected in a series, hence the name "Qixing Lake".
After the development company obtained part of the contracting rights in Daqingshan, it became one of the key areas for development. In addition to growing rice, there are also several aquaculture projects here.
However, it is winter now and the lake is frozen, so the work on all projects has been temporarily stopped and will not continue until spring.
Because there are many projects concentrated in the Qixing Lake area, the road from Kaoshantun (resort) to Qixing Lake has been flattened and widened in the first phase of Daqingshan development.
The sledge rolled over the ice and snow on the road, traveling quickly and steadily. However, the smell of the draft horses was a bit unpleasant. Fortunately, it was winter, and everyone's mouths and noses were tightly covered, so they didn't care too much.
.
Because the number was limited, Sun Dahai and the others did not take the reindeer sledge in the resort, but chose the ordinary horse-drawn sledge.
There are only four adult reindeer in the Kaoshantun Special Breeding Farm, which will be enough to receive tourists after the resort is put into normal operation.
It is really abnormal for more than 100 people to move together now. The resort definitely cannot prepare the number of reindeer sledges based on the current demand.
Speaking of these draft horses, in fact, most of them were handed over to the county from military horse farms, but the county's finances could not afford them.
Just as the development work of Daqingshan had just begun, the development company took over these retired draft horses and pack horses and counted them in the government's investment. Then they provided a subsidy and gave them to the backers to raise and use them.
The huge Kaoshan Village originally had only three or four horses in total, all of which were the property of the production team. Among them, there were only two draft horses, which were used by Boss Li to pull the cart. This was the most important means of transportation in the Kaoshan Village in the past few years.
.
Now the village has received dozens of horses at once, and originally wanted to raise them uniformly, but because we also need to build a special breeding farm, there is a conflict between manpower and space.
So Li Honggen and others discussed it and decided to disperse these horses to farmers who were able to raise them, and also paid the horse breeding subsidies given by the development company, and then centralized dispatch when needed.
The roads in Daqingshan are not in good condition. Except for the roads built by the development company, they are basically simple mountain roads. To be honest, these horses are more useful than cars in most cases, transporting goods and people, and getting in and out of the mountains.
They come to help.
Mountain people have long known this truth.
However, horses are big animals. In other seasons, it is easy to say that in winter, there is no food in the wild, and winter feed costs a lot of money. And this money cannot be saved, otherwise the horse will basically be ruined.
The winter in Long Province is particularly long, so in the past, backing villages could not afford to raise a few horses.
However, now that there are subsidies from the development company, the villagers in Kaoshantun are happily raising horses. Not only have they been used for work in the past two years, but they have also come in handy in situations like today.
Sun Dahai, Hu Cheng and the Gao sisters were riding on the same sledge and fell behind the team.
The second child was taken away by Wang Xiaowa to ride on her family's sledge, and his father Wang Sanpao drove it himself. Zhang Yujie and Su Jia also followed.
Wang Sanpao is now the security manager of the development company and also serves as the captain of the forest ranger. He will definitely be involved in a large-scale event like today.
Wu Yan and the Xia sisters were riding together on another sledge. Wu Yan seemed to have a good impression of Xia Tiantian. These days, whenever he had the opportunity, he would come over to greet her, and he was very attentive.
Of course the emotional idiot Sun Dahai couldn't tell. Gao Zhizhi discovered this and told him quietly.
However, Xia Tiantian's family background is very powerful, and she also has the potential to be a little witch. Sun Dahai is really not optimistic about what Wu Yan can achieve.
Xia Tiantian is three years older than Wu Yan and Sun Dahai. Since she went to a five-year elementary school, she is four years ahead of Sun Dahai and will take the college entrance examination this summer.
Moreover, the girl matures precociously. In her eyes, Wu Yan is probably just a little hairy guy with pimples on his face and a childish air all over his body. It’s strange that he can be tempted!
Not every fifteen-year-old boy can be like Sun Dahai and make people feel like an eighteen or twenty-year-old. At least the current Wu Yan is far from being able to do that.
Oh, these damn hormones!
The owner of the sledge that Sun Dahai and the others were riding on was Hidurigu, a Mongolian man in his forties.
Hidurigu is Mongolian, and when translated, it means loyalty. As his name suggests, he is really a simple person.
Xidu Rigu works at the Xiaowei Han Sheep Breeding Base. There are two herding teams in the base. He is the captain of one of the teams and is an effective subordinate of Gao Hongjun. Sun Dahai and others have been in contact with him at the base, so they came to
took his sledge.
Herding work is very hard, but it is winter now, and all the sheep are in the pen for fattening. The herding team is on semi-vacation, and members of the two teams take turns to help at the base. The remaining time can be freely arranged.
These days I catch up with Hidurigu who is taking a rest. He lives in Kaoshantun, so he comes to help drive the sledge.
Because of Battelle's relationship, it can be said that Sun Dahai feels a warm feeling every time he sees the Mongolians.
At this time, on the sledge, he and Hidurigu were chatting animatedly.
After the development company contracted Daqingshan, Kaoshantun has undergone great changes in the past two years. Almost every family has someone who receives a monthly salary, and the overall living standard has improved qualitatively.
There are four people in Hidurigu's family, and his wife works in the Paoshantun Folk Handicrafts Factory.
My daughter used to work there, but now Wen Guihua has just asked her to leave. She has become an administrative clerk in the performance company and is also a folk dancer.
His son Narisong had just been demobilized from the army and returned home. He was an automobile soldier in the army and had received many awards.
After being discharged from the army, Narisong has been recruited by the resort as a driver and is now driving at the back of the team.
In fact, in the 1980s, retired automobile soldiers were usually recruited to work in local government agencies or as drivers in large state-owned enterprises, because during this period, there was no way for individuals to learn to drive cars.
The reason why Risong was able to work as a driver at the resort was because the county was poor and there were only a few classic cars that had been used for many years. The number of drivers in reserve was more than the number of wheels, so he didn't really care about one more or one new driver.
Secondly, this is also the meaning of Xidu Rigu.
Narisong is an honest and kind person. He will definitely not be able to work in a place like a government agency. He might as well work at a resort near his home. This can be regarded as entering a joint venture, which is no worse than working in a government agency.
