Chapter 77
He Tiantian didn't have time to cherish the fallen love of her previous life, so she received the general mobilization of the village chief Qi, and began to organize everyone to go to the river (for water conservancy construction) to get the silt out of the river to facilitate the irrigation in the coming year.Some places need to be heightened to prevent flooding, and some places need to be reinforced...

Now that it is autumn, it must be done before winter.The construction period is very tight, and it takes 20 days before and after.

It is ten miles away from Qijia Village, go there in the morning, come back in the evening, and have lunch at the construction site.In addition to providing lunch, I can earn fifty cents a day and four taels of food.

Although this work is tiring, many people are willing to go to earn money and food.Wang Lei and Zhang Qingshan went there last year. Not only can they have enough to eat, but they can also earn some money back. They are very happy.

Village head Qi has organized 150 people in the village and will lead them there tomorrow morning.As for the tools, Village Chief Qi and Director Zhao also made statistics, and they were all brought from the villagers' homes.

After the last general mobilization, everyone was in high spirits.

Except He Tiantian!
Because the distance is not very far, I get up early every morning to go to work and walk back in the evening.Not only is it hard work, but the way back and forth is too far.Even if He Tiantian is not happy, she is also among the candidates for Pahe.

This time to work, there are not only places for heavy work, but also lighter places for cooking or working on the shore.

Village Chief Qi was embarrassed to give all these places to his close relatives, so it was He Tiantian's turn to cook.

In a village, a meal at noon uses a lot of things, and it must be done well so that everyone can eat well.

Although it is tiring to cook on the shore, He Tiantian feels that it is already very good compared to those who go to the bottom of the river to work barefoot.

Early in the morning, He Tiantian and Qi Xiaoyan followed everyone to work in the Erdaogouzi River reach ten miles away.

"Sister Tiantian, it's so far, I'm tired of walking." Qi Xiaoyan said in a low voice before she got to the place, it was twenty miles away every day.

He Tiantian smiled and said: "Your father won't let you come, you have to come, now the quota has been applied, you can't not go. Besides, everyone is not walking fast, just follow slowly, and I'm with you."

Qi Xiaoyan was a little tired, but it wasn't that she couldn't get up, so she just complained to He Tiantian.

"The two of us are in charge of the meals for more than 150 people today. I don't know if we can be busy?" Qi Xiaoyan looked at the two big pots and the big steamer used by the production team on the bullock cart in front of him, feeling a little worried.

"What are you afraid of? Besides us, there is Director Zhao. It is said that she is often responsible for this kind of work, and it will be arranged. We are two little ones, just two small chores, as long as you are responsible for the work. ." He Tiantian comforted, "We are young people, we need to be energetic, don't start worrying before things happen."

After listening to He Tiantian's words, Qi Xiaoyan can always be encouraged, which is why Qi Xiaoyan likes to get along with He Tiantian, full of positive energy!
When we set off in the morning, the sky was gray, and when we arrived at Erdaogouzi, there was already a lot of light.In the morning, everyone ate at home casually, and village head Qi took them to the 2000-meter river channel assigned to Qijia Village.

A piece of wood was inserted on the ground with the words "Qijia Village" written on it.

"Okay, stop here." Chief Qi said loudly, "Director Zhao, take a few people and build a shed for cooking, and someone will bring food here."

Director Zhao smiled and said, "Village Chief Qi, don't worry, I know how to do these things. You can bring people to work in peace, and let everyone eat and drink well at noon."

He Tiantian looked around, it was still the place where the river was pulled in the previous life, but this time it was 200 meters longer than before.

This is a large river with a width of about 15 meters and a depth of seven or eight meters. It is shallow on both sides and deep in the middle. There are many withered and yellow aquatic plants in it. Now it only has a water surface about three to four meters wide.This river, the main channel of Taoyuan County, is irrigated every year from this river.

This is one of the reasons why the commune attaches so much importance to the river.

These jobs are all assigned to various villages. The sooner you finish the job, the sooner you can go back.Arrangements were made with the two village cadres, and the village chief Qi personally led people down the river to work.

Director Zhao found two laborers and started to build a shed of more than ten meters. He also found broken stones next to him, built two earthen stoves, smeared mud on the outside, let it dry for a while, and it could be used at noon.

Director Zhao just put two cauldrons on it, and the commune came to distribute food.At noon, today is four taels of flour for men, three taels for women, and a large radish, white onion, a little oil, a little salt, onion, ginger, and garlic.

"Sweet girl, little Yan'er, you two quickly take the big basin to the creek over there to brush it, I want to raise the trigger (fat noodles)." Director Zhao said, "After brushing the basin, bring a basin of water over here. , just used to brush the pot."

"Yes, Director Zhao." He Tiantian, and Qi Xiaoyan responded, carrying the super large wooden basin to the stream.

The creek is very clear, and small fish can be seen in the river from time to time.

He Tiantian thought to himself, if you have time, you can go catch some fish and make soup for everyone to try.

He Tiantian and Qi Xiaoyan are both clean and diligent girls. They quickly cleaned the big pot and brought the water that was almost full.

"Pour the water into the pot and leave a little bit." Director Zhao said, "I'm going to start making the dough, brush the pot, and you can carry these steamers over to brush them."

Qi Xiaoyan and He Tiantian did things seriously according to Director Zhao's request.After a while, the ten-layer steamer was cleaned.

"Look, Sister Tiantian, there are fish in the river." Qi Xiaoyan said in surprise, "If we have fishing nets, we can catch them and make soup."

"It's useless today, we didn't use fishing nets. After we go back in the evening, we will look for fishing nets and catch fish tomorrow." He Tiantian suggested, "I heard from Director Zhao just now that we should eat steamed bread with white noodles, stir-fried radish and stewed cabbage at noon. We catch fish and make a soup so everyone can eat more."

"Yeah, fish soup is always better than plain water!" Qi Xiaoyan agreed. Every year, when he came home from the river, his father was very tired and had to rest for a long time before he could rest.If you can eat better, maybe you can make your body stronger and recover faster.

When the two came back with the tenth-floor steamer, Director Zhao was already having a face-to-face meeting.

"The two of you will go to the nearby woods and find some dry wood, which will be used in half an hour. Hurry up, you two." Director Zhao immediately ordered He Tiantian and Qi Xiaoyan to do things when they saw them coming back.

Although they are not heavy work, they cannot be idle either.

But that's fine, no one else can work in the river, they rest on the shore.Busy and busy, everyone can see, and no one will gossip.
