The Lord of the World Begins from the Siheyuan

Chapter 218 Can This Be Bad?
Li Ming said: "Third Master, you are right. No matter how young you are, you can't work if you go to the countryside, and you can't take care of yourself along the way."

As soon as Uncle Dong entered the yard, he asked, "Have you read today's newspaper?"

Yan Bugui responded: "I have a lot of classes today, and I don't have time to read the newspaper."

Li Ming asked with a smile, "Uncle Dong, have you seen any major news?"

Li Junyi also jokingly said: "Uncle Dong said so, there must be important news."

Uncle Dong didn't hold back, and said: "The newspaper said that this year's rainfall has decreased by 4% compared with previous years, and the city will start construction of the second phase of the Jingmi Water Diversion Canal. It is true that Lao Yan is right. This year's drought is very serious. serious."

Wu Ming then said: "The second phase of construction is about to start. In the winter of 60, I can still vividly remember the construction of the first phase of the aqueduct."

Li Ming asked curiously, "Angkor, have you participated in the construction of the first phase of the project?"

Wu Ming explained: "I didn't participate. At that time, the whole city sent workers from urban infrastructure, hydropower engineering and commercial systems to participate in the construction. Your sister-in-law's unit also organized staff to participate at that time. I just went to deliver clothes to your sister-in-law."

"That guy, that scene is quite big, with tens of thousands of people participating! The construction site is full of traffic, red flags are waving, and there are huge crowds of people, and the tweeters are playing revolutionary songs. People on the construction site are racing against time. It is a busy scene. Listen Said that they still burnt the lights to fight at night. In the end, it only took more than four months to build more than 100 miles of main water diversion canals and a large number of irrigation canals."

Yan Bugui added: "It was also broadcast on the radio, and students from many schools went to participate in labor, and major cultural and art groups in the capital also went to the construction site to give condolences and performances to boost morale."

Wu Ming asked: "Uncle Dong, did the newspaper say when the second phase of the project will start?"

Uncle Dong recalled it for a while and said: "Next month's 10th, that's right, October 10th. This time, tens of thousands of people are going to organize construction, and people from the army and government agencies will repair the main water diversion canal and the sluice gates of the diversion canal. And other buildings will be constructed by members of the communes along the line.”

Coincidentally, it was learned later through surveying and mapping with modern scientific instruments that the southern section of the route of the Jingmi Diversion Canal roughly coincides with the "Baifuwengshan River" excavated by Guo Shoujing in the Yuan Dynasty. .

The historical reunion after 700 years is also a dialogue between the wisdom of the ancients and the present.

Li Ming said with emotion: "It's not easy to dig in winter, the ground is frozen."

Uncle Dong said: "It is timely to start work as soon as the busy farming season is over. The leaders above may also want to finish the work before the busy farming season in June or July next year."

Li Junyi smiled and said: "Students from various colleges and universities in the capital have something to do now, and they probably have to take turns to work on the construction site."

Li Ming was also happy, and said, "Work is the most glorious. Isn't it good to come from the masses and go to the masses. Third master, have we made arrangements for cleaning the sewers in our courtyard next week?"

Yan Bugui said: "It's all arranged. There are not enough tools for loading soil. Later, I will go to the courtyards next door with the first and second uncles to borrow. We will prepare more dustpans and tin buckets. Next week everyone You can work together, and you won’t stand by and watch because there is nothing to fill the soil with.”

Li Ming asked carefully: "You three uncles borrow together, is this your suggestion?"

Yan Bugui asked back: "How do you know?"

The three uncles collectively borrowed tools from the neighbors and the right. It is strange that the other yards are not lively. Even if there is no one like Xie Dazui to spread the word, they have vigorously spread the news that No. 95 yard will organize the sewer cleanup.

Yan Bugui's intention to make the noise bigger was achieved.Of course, it is not up to Yan Bugui to decide whether other courtyard houses follow.

Of course, Li Ming wouldn't say it so clearly, and said, "If the borrowed amount is wrong or something is broken, no one can tell. Such a comprehensive decision must have been thought up by you, Third Master."

Yan Bugui said with a bright face: "Xiao Ming, you think it through. The second uncle didn't understand at the beginning. I will ask him in advance later, and I will borrow tools next Saturday. It will not be too sudden and economical." The trouble of keeping it."

Wu Ming's wife came out to wash the dishes and asked, "Third Master, how many people will come to help from the street next week?"

"I don't know yet. We can't rely on the people on the street. We have to rely on ourselves for the affairs in the courtyard."

Sha Zhu just came back from the outside and said loudly: "Third Master, who are you doing ideological work for?"

Yan Bugui ignored Shazhu's ridicule, but asked curiously: "Sizhu, where did you get so many lunch boxes?"

Silly Zhu supported the bicycle, and he brought four or five lunch boxes on the car, and said happily: "I went to someone's restaurant to show my hands tonight. This is brought back for Yushui as a supper, and she will just be able to eat it when she comes back from get off work. "

Wu Ming's wife, who was washing dishes in the sink, boasted: "Silly Zhu, it's not bad! It's delicious outside, remember to bring some back for the rain."

"How fresh, my own sister, I must take good care of it."

The brother and sister have been dependent on each other since they were more than ten years old, and the relationship between the two is okay.

He Yushui's commuting time is staggered from that of most people, and she has to go out to talk to someone on weekends, so her presence in the courtyard is not high.

Sha Zhu nodded to the people in the front yard, did not stop, and went directly to his home in the middle yard.

Li Junyi enviously said: "These days, it's better to be a cook. If you have skills, you will eat delicious food wherever you go."

Yan Jiecheng whispered strange words: "Hey, in the factory, the leader eats whatever he eats, and he eats before the leader eats. Can this be bad?"

Wu Ming didn't care and said: "If you don't take it away, don't you allow people to eat something? Cooks and back kitchens are good jobs. Even in the army, only those who perform well in training can enter the cooking class."

Li Ming asked curiously: "Huh? Is there such a thing?" His image of the cooking soldiers is still the group of rookies in "The Story of the Cooking Class".

Wu Ming said in detail: "The burden of the cooking class is not low. They have to carry the cooks on their backs, and the two marching cauldrons are not easy to carry on their backs. They have to quickly dig the smoke-free stove when they reach the field. Burying pots and burning fires to cook and serve meals. I really can’t do the work of the cooking class if I don’t have any skills!"

Uncle Dong understood again, and said: "The army's food is much better than that of the local government, and the quantitative standard is set high."

Wu Ming said: "The army's food is good, not just because of the ration. They raise pigs and grow vegetables by themselves to achieve self-sufficiency as much as possible."

Li Ming casually chatted and said: "Speaking of raising pigs. A few days ago, I read a magazine introduction that some research institutes introduced several pure white pig breeds from abroad, which grow fast. I mentioned it to Corey. I have long said that pigs also have regional differences, and they are not acclimatized to the environment, I have learned a lot.”

"Pig raising is also a technical job. People who can raise pigs grow very fast and eat very little. Those who can't raise pigs are especially edible, but they neither grow meat nor fat."

"You have to be skillful in everything you do. Just say that the simplest way to move goods in the workshop requires ingenuity. It saves effort and is not easy to get injured."

The topic of small talk often escapes like this.
