When I was very young, people in our village lived by planting fruit trees. My grandmotheralways took me to the orchard(果园) on the hill. At that time, they had to carry water from the river at the foot of the hill to halfway up the hill. Even though we worked so hard, the production level of fruit was still low because it was short of water there.
One day, two young men led a group of workers to our village. They learned about the difficulties we faced, and later, canals(运河) and other projects began to be built in my village. “Who are they?” I asked. “They are good men from our government,” my grandma replied.

Short afterwards, I moved to another city for my junior high school. The only reason I ever came back to my hometown was my grandmother.
One day, my family and I made time to return. We were surprised because everything had changed. The canal ran past every orchard so villagers didn’t have to go up and down the hill anymore. The river was now so clean that fish swam happily in it. When we arrived home, my grandma took out some fresh pears and apples. She told us that after the water conservancy project(水利工程) was completed, a policy was made to encourage more people to increase the fruit production with cleanwater in the river.
Thanks to those good men who have devoted themselves to the development of our countryside, people can now live a better life than ever.【本段推荐背诵】
