Rebirth 84, starting from fish farming

Chapter 488 Continuous Rain

From mid-June, it rains heavily.

It was sunny for two days and rainy for three days until the end of the month.

The rice seedlings in the farmland are no longer dry.

The dry land absorbs enough water, evaporates some more, and encounters cold air and rains again.

And so on and on.

Kindergartens are also on summer vacation.

Xiao Nuomi and her three friends practiced painting at home.

As soon as the weather clears up, go play in the yard.

During this period, Lu Changhua took advantage of the clear weather to re-pave his yard with cement.

In the past, the yard was paved with red bricks.

After years of use and exposure to the cold in winter and the sun in summer, it has become pitted and uneven.

Now cement mortar is poured on top of the red bricks.

The yard is much cleaner.

As for the dirt street outside the courtyard gate, there is nothing we can do.

Motor vehicles often pass by here.

If you don't keep it in order, farm tools will pass by.

So, every year the road sucks.

Especially during summer and autumn.

When it rains, the road becomes mud.

If the cement hardens, it will be crushed to pieces by motor vehicles.

Lu Changhua could only install a water pipe at the entrance of the hospital.

When you come home on a rainy day, wash the mud off your rain boots at the door to make them cleaner.

Now that Xiao Nuomi has a place to play, Lu Changhua doesn't care about the rest for the time being.

As July entered, the weather changed again.

It rained sparsely and continuously.

It's wet every day.

At this time, it is the season of field management.

Many workers were forced to go to the fields to pull weeds.

After continuous rain, the weeds in the fields began to grow wildly, and they were as tall as wheat and soybeans.

At a glance, the fields are green.

But half of it is weeds.

If not treated, it will affect food production.

It's a hell of a job to pull weeds on a rainy day.

Wearing wet clothes all day long can make you easily sick.

Some weeds are also irritating to the skin and often cause allergies.

Therefore, this salary is indispensable.

It cannot be less than 80 yuan every day.

This is still pulling weeds. If you shovel the ground, it will cost at least 100 yuan.

Weeding now has to be done manually.

The farmland is saturated with water, and if you step down on it, you can directly create a deep pit.

This is still a person. If the tractor goes to the ground, he will be trapped in it.

There is no technical content in pulling weeds. You just walk along the ditch and pull out the weeds when you see them, tie them into bundles, and throw them out of the ground by a special person.

Those who specialize in these short-term jobs are all veterans.

Working secretly and cheating.

For example, he would not pull out the grass, but break it at the waist. What's more, he would fold the grass directly under the soybean seedlings, as long as there was no grass above.

Because the people supervising the work on site couldn't see it at all.

As long as it's passable on the big picture.

Many half-year-old children do weeding work during the summer vacation and earn [-] yuan in ten days, which is considered a work-study program.

In his previous life, Lu Changhua also did this kind of work.

Although it was possible to sneak around and skate, walking in the ditch for a day was tiring.

So everyone is being cunning.

This year, Lu Changhua asked Zhang Laoliu to come back to take charge of the work.

Someone said, isn’t there pesticide?Just spray herbicides, so why do we need to manually pull the weeds?
That has something to do with the weather.

Spraying herbicides needs to be done on a sunny day.

Now this period of time is a rainy day.

Sparse all day long.

Spraying herbicides will be diluted by rainwater and will be ineffective.

On the land of plot No. [-], hundreds of people stood in a row.

Each person is responsible for two ridges.

The man was standing in the ditch.

Everyone was wearing raincoats and boots.They brought this all by themselves.

It's really unbearable to weather this kind of weather without wearing a raincoat.

Lu Changhua provides cotton gloves.

Zhang Laoliu shouted, and someone began to hand out gloves, a pair to each person.

"The standard is to pull down the grass by the roots. When pulling, be careful not to pull out the soybean seedlings."

"The weeds torn off were tied into bundles and thrown into the furrows."

"Did you hear that clearly?"

"Understood."

The voices that answered were sparse.

"Louder, do you hear me clearly?"

"Understood."

It was Lu Changhua's idea to throw the bales of weeds in the ditch.

A ridge is one or two kilometers long. If all the weeds are thrown out of the field, a special group of people will have to do this job.

Nowadays, manpower is tight and the task is heavy. Just pull out the grass first.

Even if these weed bundles take root and grow again, they cannot catch up with the bean sprouts.

"start!"

Zhang Laoliu gave an order, and hundreds of people entered the field.

Walk forward along the ditch.

Everyone followed Zhang Laoliu.

He controls the speed of progress.

If he is fast, others will be fast; if he is slow, others will be slow.

This is called being a lead worker.

Among these people, there are also workers from Lu Changhua.

They also pulled weeds from two rows themselves, but they still had a supervisory role.

If someone is cheating or fooling others, they will stop them and ask for correction.

It took ten days to pull out weeds on Lu Changhua's land.

It was a preliminary pull.

Lu Changhua knew that it must not be pulled out cleanly, and there must be people who steal and play tricks.

He couldn't be too demanding.

At least it looks good on the surface.

Every day Lu Changhua would go to the fields with everyone. Although he didn't go out to pull weeds, he would still sit in the car and watch.After these people passed by, he would get out of the car and watch from behind to see if it was completely pulled out.

In fact, this also acts as a deterrent.

At least the workers of the Lu family will be more serious.

During this time, Wang Yao was very busy.

Since setting tasks for the group in March, Wang Yao has been urging the factory to implement them according to the plan.

The water pump that came onto the market during the drought was Wang Yao's work achievement.

With the continuous gloomy weather, sales of water pumps have risen instead of falling.

In the past, the water from the river was pumped into the ground, but now it is better to pump the accumulated water from the ground into the river.

There are many models of water pumps.

Caliber 50~200 mm.

Flow rate: 12.5~400 cubic meters/hour.

The lift is 8~125 meters.

The supporting power includes diesel engine direct connection, belt drive, and electric motor direct connection.

Power 1.1~110 kilowatts.

Speed ​​1450~2900 rpm.

Changhe Group has independently produced tractors for many years.

All processes are very mature.

Therefore, producing a water pump is a piece of cake.

It's just a centrifugal pump.

Specifications and standards are implemented in accordance with international standards.

The quality is outstanding.

Changhe brand water pumps are not only popular in Northeast China and North China, but also exported to the Yangtze River Basin.

Although water pumps are produced by many professional factories, it is not a problem.

But there is a difference between being prepared and not being prepared.

Wang Yao came back a little late today.

When she got home, Lu Changhua had already come back.

When I saw my daughter-in-law coming in with a tired look on her face, I knew there was something delayed.

"Is there something going on in the factory?"

"Oh, it's not about the water pump."

While washing her hands, Wang Yao explained: "The provincial flood control headquarters sent an order, telling our factory to prepare 100 large-diameter water pumps for backup."

“They’re long overdue for procurement.”

Lu Changhua looked out the window at the rainy night, and his ears were filled with the sound of dripping raindrops.

"It's okay to stock up, but we need it urgently. We haven't finished producing our own goods yet."

"Then stop it and give birth to them first."

"Today is the coordination of this matter, and it is only now that the coordination is completed."

"Thank you for your hard work. Come and eat."

Mother Lu brought the food, and Lao Lu pulled Sheng Yu over while teasing Xiao Nuomi.

"Mommy mommy."

The child is very happy to see his mother and will rush towards her.

Lu Changhua quickly stopped.

"Your mother is too tired today, come to daddy."

Little Nuomi walked over obediently, looked at her mother and said, "Mom, thank you for your hard work."

"It's not hard, honey, are you good at home today?"

"Well, my brother and I are very good."

"Mom, I'm good."

Xiao Shengyu quickly expressed his gratitude.

"That's good, wash your hands and eat."

Brother Xiong Bao lay under the table early, waiting for the meal.

Seeing that the whole family is here and sitting around, they rest their heads on their front paws with peace of mind, squint their eyes and wait for the happiest moment.

While the family was having dinner, Lu Changhua received a call from Hu Dagui.

"Why did you remember to call me?"

Lu Changhua joked.

During this time, Hu Dagui was familiar with the Internet business in Beijing. Although he didn't understand it very well, he still knew it and just managed it as an enterprise.

He is even busier than Lu Changhua.

Fortunately, he had a well-made plan and just followed it, so he didn't worry too much.

This recent news made Hu Dagui a little worried.

Whether it is in the news or through the grapevine, there is talk that there may be flooding.

In particular, the various news released by the National Flood Control Headquarters made him a little worried.

Then I called back and wanted to ask about the situation in my hometown.

"Everyone is talking about flood control now. How is our family doing? Are you okay?"

"You kid, why don't you just ask your wife directly to find out?"

"Hey, she's not very sensitive to these things. I asked, but she didn't know very well. She just said that the order quantity for water pumps is very large now."

"Looking at the current situation, it's okay. At least it's okay here at home. However, the situation in the province may be a bit serious. The province has prepared flood prevention materials. It has ordered 100 large-diameter water pumps from us."

"Oh, if something happens, you have to tell me!"

"I'll tell you if I have anything to do. Just stay in the capital."

After understanding the situation in his hometown, Hu Dagui felt better.

"Dagui cares about his family."

"Can he not care? We must work hard to produce water pumps, especially flood control materials. We cannot be careless."

"Don't worry, I won't come back tomorrow and will live in Beining."

Wang Yao said.

"Okay, if you need me, just say so."

"Ah."

The couple's words made Lao Lu a little nervous.

"is it so serious?"

Lao Lu asked anxiously.

"It should be risky."

Lu Changhua analyzed: "It's because the flood control headquarters will not prepare supplies."

"I estimate that the Songhua River and Nen River are at risk of bursting their banks."

"real or fake?"

Wang Yao's voice was trembling when she spoke.

If the embankment breaks, how many cities will be flooded?
Seeing her husband's face looking a little stern, Wang Yao didn't dare to joke anymore.

"Hopefully it won't be that serious."

"Then what shall we do?"

"Purchase a batch of assault boats and see if you can buy them now."

"Why did you buy this thing? To save people?"

"Yes, when the time comes we can't get up on our own, so we can let the people in front use the boat!"

"Okay, let me ask and see who has these things."

Wang Yao felt a little regretful at this time. She realized it in hindsight and didn't know if she could still help.

She suddenly remembered what her husband said at the beginning of the year. Is Changhua really a master?Can you still predict?
