Everyone Wants to Pamper the Lucky Daughter
Chapter 312: building dams
The dam has been washed away by rainwater for many years, and there is a risk of bursting.
After discussing with the prefect of Xuzhou, the two decided to organize manpower to dig ditches for flood discharge and strengthen the dam.
When the wealthy households in various villages and towns heard the news, they were very enthusiastic to contribute and prepare money.
The county government posted a notice, ten cents a day, to recruit young and strong laborers to dig ditches and build embankments.
Just after the busy season of farming, there are young and middle-aged people in every village who have leisure time at home.
Woniu Village is on the bank of the river. Under the call of the old village head, the hunters enthusiastically signed up to go upstream to strengthen the dam and protect their homes.
The notice was posted for two days, and the recruitment of 1,000 young and middle-aged men was completed. The county government organized manpower and led them to the river dam upstream.
Apart from Su Hu, only Wang Meng in the Su family was a little older, tall, long-legged, strong, barely considered young and strong.
It is hard work to build embankments, eat and sleep in the open, and work all day under the scorching sun.
Su Hu was concerned that he was only twelve years old, so he didn't want him to suffer and refused to let him sign up.
However, Wang Meng has a stubborn temper. He thinks he has grown up, and he doesn't want to be idle at home. He wants to work on the river dam with all his heart, and he refuses to listen to anyone who persuades him.
Su Hu had no choice but to let him go, and the two of them went out together, carrying shovels and hammers, and followed the team to the upper reaches of the river bank.
The men are working hard outside, and the women in Woniu Village can't stay idle.
Driven by the two daughters-in-law of the village head's family, they spontaneously participated, helping to cook and deliver food and vegetables on the construction site.
Without the slightest hesitation, Li Xiu'e volunteered to cook on the construction site.
Every day, I follow the daughters-in-law in the village, get up early and work late, carry food and vegetables, and go back and forth between the embankment and Woniu Village, and only go home after dark.
Su Qingluo felt sorry for her mother, and would massage her sore back every night and apply good elixir to help her recover.
When the Lin family heard the news, they also contributed to help the villagers build embankments and deliver food and vegetables.
In the first ten days of July, the rainy season came as scheduled, and the light rain continued throughout the day.
Digging ditches and building embankments was coming to an end, and the young and middle-aged people braved the wind and rain to rush to work overnight, not daring to stop at all.
Near the middle of the month, the flood discharge channel was finally dug. The county government dismissed the laborers and arranged for people to guard the embankment, keeping an eye on the situation at the peak of the flood.
In the event of a dangerous situation, immediately release water to release the flood.
*****
Su Hu and Wang Meng had slept outside for half a month, and they were tanned and lost a lot of weight.
The bearded man returned home, grinning and showing his white teeth, the four little cute babies were stunned, staring at the four pairs of big, ignorant eyes for a long time, but they didn't recognize anyone.
Li Xiu'e and Su Qingluo's mother and daughter~www.readwn.com~ looked sad and distressed.
He hurriedly boiled hot water, let them take a comfortable hot bath, shaved their beards, and straightened their hair. Only then did the father and father recover their spirits and show their original appearance.
"It's better at home!"
Su Hu tidied up quickly, drank some wine and ate his own side dishes, feeling delighted.
"I can't get enough of the steamed buns on the construction site."
Wang Meng stuffed five steamed buns into his mouth in one breath, and swept away the dishes on the dinner table.
"The vegetables on the construction site don't have any oil or water, and you can't get full just by eating steamed buns. Brother Meng has been suffering for the past half month."
Li Xiu'e felt sorry for her adopted son, so she brought over a plate full of braised soybean paste bones from the kitchen.
"Go home, take a good rest for a few days, and eat a few more meals to replenish your vitality."
Su Qingluo patted Wang Meng's shoulder in a serious manner, very much like a little master.
