The salted fish life of the lucky wife

Chapter 406 406, repair the reservoir
That night, Qi Yuanhua brought back a piece of news.

The Shengli Production Brigade will work with the two next-door brigades to repair the reservoir.

"Reservoir?" Everyone was slightly surprised.

The main reason is that none of them had any experience in this area, so when they heard the news suddenly, everyone was a little confused.

Shen Yuerong was curious: "Is there a reservoir near our village?"

"Yes, it's about half an hour's walk from our village. Isn't there a small river in our village, and that small river is connected to the reservoir. Since the small river passes through three brigades, the task of repairing the reservoir is assigned to us. The three brigades are in charge."

After working for more than a month, Qi Yuanhua has learned a lot during this time and has become a lot. He is no longer the mentality of only caring about his own one-acre land.

After all, he is a commune cadre, so he naturally needs to know more about the situation of the several brigades below, otherwise some work will be difficult to carry out.

He is no longer the Qi Yuanhua who just returned to the village and knows nothing and can't do anything.

"Ah, I just found out now, I never heard of it before." Shen Yuerong was stunned. Of course, the main reason was that she hadn't been out of the village very often and didn't pay attention to the surrounding villages.

Qi Jun asked anxiously, "Father, does everyone have to go to build the reservoir?"

Qin Tianru also wanted to know this question very much, but she was not as impatient as Qi Jun, she quietly waited for the next question.

Qi Yuanhua replied unhurriedly: "Yes, the construction of the reservoir is a major event, and each family should send at least one person as a representative. However, the work points for the construction of the reservoir are very high, which can be worth two days of work in the team. gone."

It is only today that he knows that repairing the reservoir is one of the major project activities. Every year before midsummer, the reservoir will be repaired to ensure that there are no problems with the embankment of the reservoir.

Because there is a lot of rain in summer and it is in a period of high incidence of waterlogging, if it is not consolidated and repaired, it is easy to wash away the reservoir and cause waterlogging in the surrounding villages.

Therefore, almost once a year is organized at this time, but because repairing the reservoir is a very hard work, carrying and transporting stones is not a big deal, at most it is a business effort.

The hardest and irritating thing is to work under the scorching sun, which is completely a self-abuse behavior of exposure to the sun, and it is easy to faint due to heat stroke.

Therefore, at the very beginning, even though many people were greedy for high work points, most of them were still unwilling. As long as the family did not run out of food, they were unwilling to suffer that crime.

In the end, when there was no other way, the higher-ups issued an order that each family must send a labor force.

"Then what should we do? You can't let Xiaojun go?"

After hearing this, Shen Yuerong was a little worried about her youngest son. After all, the man in the family and Ahan both had jobs, so naturally they didn't need to participate in the work of the team.

This kind of physical work is obviously the work of men. Of course, in order to earn work points, some families will also let the women in the family do physical work.

Qi Han, who has been quiet all this time, directly grasped the key points and asked: "Father, when will this task start? How long will it last? What types of work will be classified on site?"

Qi Yuanhua replied neatly: "It was said at the meeting today that several brigades will make preparations tomorrow. The construction will start the day after tomorrow and it will take about ten days. As for the division of labor on site, I don't know much about it. This seems to be the brigade leader. to distribute."

"Well, that's fine. I'll go and see the day after tomorrow. Our family can only send Xiaojun. I don't think the brigade will arrange too heavy a job for him."

Qi Han can stay at home for three days, and the day after tomorrow happens to be the last day. The work of repairing the reservoir is not easy, so he has to properly arrange his younger brother before leaving home.

"With your cousin here, I believe Xiaojun will not suffer." Qi Yuanhua was very relieved.

"." Qi Jun wanted to cry but had no tears.

Why is it that good things are not his turn, but hard work is his business?
Hey, the status of the family is too low, he was squeezed by the collective.

Life is too hard.

Qi Qing patted the younger brother on the shoulder with sympathy, and encouraged, "Your brother, you can do it."

"." Qi Jun's face was full of insiders, no, he can't!

Qin Tianru felt amused when he saw his younger brother's look of lovelessness, "Xiaojun, when the time comes, my sister-in-law will prepare delicious food for you every day."

"." Qi Jun frowned, feeling a little comforted in his heart.

-

Sure enough, the next day, when the village notified the news that the reservoir was going to be built, the whole brigade wailed!
Originally, during this period of time, everyone's life was very difficult. Three meals a day became two meals. In order to save food, everyone tried their best to save energy so as not to be hungry too quickly.

In previous years, when there was no famine, some people were willing to go for high work points, but this year's situation is different. No matter how much high work points you earn, it is not worth the fart, but it consumes more energy.

"Don't worry, the policy has changed this year. In addition to getting high work points, each person can also get three extra steamed buns."

Qi Zhongkang deliberately tempered everyone's temper. The reason why he didn't speak clearly in advance is to make everyone have a comparison in their hearts, and it will be easier to accept the matter of the reservoir repair later.

The construction of the reservoir is a major event for the entire commune, and it cannot be avoided. Therefore, what he can do is to adjust everyone's mentality as much as possible.

"real or fake?"

"Captain, is it true that everyone will get three steamed buns when the reservoir is built this year?"

"The whole family will go, and everyone will have a share?"

"Captain, is this coarse grain steamed bun or white flour steamed bun?"

"Hey, it would be nice to have steamed buns with thick noodles. I said San Gouzi, you are dreaming, and steamed buns with white noodles~"

"That's right, I'm content with thick noodles and steamed buns."

For a while, everyone at the scene began to think in their hearts. Although three steamed buns may not sound like much, three steamed buns are also food.

Take the steamed buns home and boil them in the soup. Isn’t it just a pot of noodle soup? The whole family can drink half a bowl.

Qi Zhongkang: "Work points are counted according to the head, and of course the steamed buns are also distributed according to the head. This year's food shortage, naturally it is impossible to make white flour steamed buns."

"Head points, that's great!"

"I'm also happy with thick noodle buns~"

"Our whole family signed up."

"Our family also signed up."

Because of the extra steamed buns as a subsidy, the people who signed up to build the reservoir this year are particularly enthusiastic, but there are still certain requirements for choosing to build a reservoir.

Those under the age of 14 and those over the age of 55 are not allowed, and those who are disabled or infirm are not allowed.

However, the number of people finalized is still higher than in previous years.

After hearing the request, Qi Jun was so angry that he beat his chest and stomped his feet. The construction of the reservoir was an enmity with him. According to the year, he just turned 14 this year.

No matter how resentful and angry Qi Jun was, early the next morning, he still honestly carried the farm tools, and followed his elder brother and the large army to repair the reservoir in high spirits.

　Good night~
