Zhenhua also smiled: "Then I will have to wait for the third master to go to the province before I can be transferred to the county!"

The two circled around Cao Zhi's tomb, and then climbed to the top of the earthen bag, looking into the distance, looking at the style of Badouling, and feeling a little more.

Seeing that it was not early, Zhenhua urged the third master to return to the "combat position".

Although the third master Gao is a lot older, he has a young heart, let Zhenhua go first, he went to the town to buy some cooked food and liquor, and brought it back to the station to spend the night.

Zhenhua returned to the station, checked all the machines, and found that two water pumps were sucking in air and no longer had water. Zhenhua didn't dare to slack off, and immediately shut down the two machines and maintained them again.

The driver who came with him smiled: "Zhenhua, it's all a public affair anyway, just turn a blind eye, why be so responsible?"

"The government has also given us subsidies, so we must be worthy of the money we get, right? What's more, the drought in Badouling is severe, and the local people are like us, they are authentic farmers who live by farming. Compare people's hearts to their own hearts, our rice is filling in the grain, without this water, are you in a hurry?"

The driver grinned and jumped over to help: "Gotta get it, let's get the job!"

As he was talking, several men in the distance came over with bamboo baskets.

The old man at the front waved his hand and shouted: "Thank you comrades for coming to help us fight the drought, we have prepared dinner and brought it to everyone." ”

In this drought fight, the food of the militia assault company was solved by the local villagers raising funds and remuneration.

Zhenhua wiped his hands and stepped forward to thank him.

The old man was the local village party secretary, put down the bamboo basket, and beckoned everyone to eat.

The meals were plentiful, with fish, meat and wine.

Zhenhua said with a smile: "The villagers are too enthusiastic, there are only five of us here, and we can't eat so much." In the future, the food will be simpler, everyone is a farmer, and it is not easy. ”

The old branch secretary took out five packs of cigarettes, gave one pack to Zhenhua and others, and said: "You have come all the way to help us fight the drought, and we will always remember this love." There's nothing good to entertain you in the countryside, so don't dislike it. ”

Zhenhua hurriedly excused himself: "Old secretary, you really can't ask for cigarettes, the government has already given us a subsidy......

"Take it!" the old secretary dropped his cigarette and turned around with the villagers.

Zhenhua had no choice but to accept the cigarette.

The operator just now said: "Zhenhua, what you said is right, the people of Badouling are not easy. If we are perfunctory and lazy, we are indeed sorry for others. ”

Zhenhua smiled and waved his hand: "Increase the throttle a little more, we can't take other people's cigarettes for nothing!"

The anti-drought work in Badouling lasted for 12 days.

The first few days were fine, but then it was not very smooth, the diesel engine worked continuously, and it was inevitable that there would be a strike. Zhenhua and Gao Sanye were busy repairing diesel engines, and they were covered in oil. Fortunately, Gao Sanye had the foresight to buy many diesel engine wearing parts and replace them in time.

Because two spare equipment were arranged, in the past 12 days, from beginning to end, Zhenhua's station was full of ten machines working, 24 hours a day.

Twelve days later, an autumn rain alleviated the drought and ended the drought-fighting mission.

Three rains in autumn produced gold everywhere.

For the croppers, the rain around the beginning of autumn is the most precious. At this time, the rice is being filled, and a bowl of water can be exchanged for a bowl of rice. The golden rice is the gold of the harvesters.

After the drought was over, Zhenhua returned home, and his son Xiao Weikang no longer knew him!

Yilan was also heartbroken, and said with a smile: "When I saw you for the first time, I thought there was an African friend, why did you get so tanned?"

Zhenhua said with a smile: "No way, Badou Ridge is high and very close to the sun. We have been in the wild for twelve days in a row, and it is strange that it is not dark. You haven't seen the appearance of the third master Gao, he is almost tanned into a Bao Shengbao adult!"

Although it took 12 days of hard work, Zhenhua led the team in a good way and carried out the drought-fighting task in a down-to-earth manner, which was also praised by the county.

Before the rice was harvested, Cai Xingmei, the women's director, suddenly came to Zhenhua, frowned and said, "Zhenhua, do you know that Song Hongju in a group ran away?"

Zhenhua was taken aback: "Ran away, who did you run away with?"

"I ran away with you!" Sister Cai glared at Zhenhua and said, "She ran out and became a superborn guerrilla!"

"Oh......" Zhenhua frowned, not knowing what to say.

It has been several years since Song Hongju married into Dongwan Village, the first child is a daughter, as old as Zhenhua's daughter Panpan, and the second child is still a daughter, a few months younger than Weikang.

According to the policy, Song Hongju and Tang Quan cannot be regenerated.

But the Tang family wanted a son, so they had to run out to be a superborn guerrilla. In those days, there were such guerrillas in almost every village.

Family planning work is also the most troublesome thing for rural grassroots cadres. Husbands and wives like Song Hongju and Tang Quan, once they run out, they will be able to fly with a fish leaping into the sky and letting the birds fly, where will the village cadres find them?

Cai Xingmei was angry and said: "Now, the township and the village are criticizing me and want to punish me, Zhenhua, you are the cadre in charge of this area, Song Hongju is missing, you are also responsible!"

Zhenhua smiled bitterly: "Sister Cai, Song Hongju has two legs, can I still watch her and not let her walk?"

Cai Xingmei puffed out her cheeks, glared and said: "The one, two, three, and four groups you are in charge of, and there are many family planning service recipients, you have to cooperate with me in the future work." ”

Zhenhua nodded: "Okay, okay, Sister Cai will cooperate as she says." ”

Cai Xingmei's face softened slightly, handed over a list, and said, "Please notify the married women of childbearing age in this area to go for gynecological examination, this is the list." I'll leave it to you here, and I'm going to Xiaogezhuang. ”

Zhenhua took the list and glanced at it, frowned and said, "Why is there Zhuang Xiaodie again? Qi Lei is not at home, what is Zhuang Xiaodie going to the gynecological examination for?"

"Illiterate, this is a gynecological examination, a free examination arranged by the family planning service for married women of childbearing age, screening for gynecological diseases. It's not a pregnancy test, it's a matter of Qi Lei!?" Cai Xingmei turned her head and glared at Zhenhua, and ran away again on a bicycle.

Zhenhua shrugged and went to each house to inform.

Although it is a free gynecological examination, some of the little daughters-in-law in the village are unwilling to cooperate.

Zhenhua spoke bitterly, preached the policy, and repeatedly explained that this gynecological examination was the government's concern for the farmers, and the gynecological diseases were investigated, and no money was needed......

Those little daughters-in-law and sisters-in-law saw Zhenhua's dry mouth, so they reluctantly nodded, which was regarded as giving Zhenhua face.

The autumn harvest begins, and every family is busy harvesting rice.

Zhuang Xiaodie is even more bitter this year, because Qi Lei's second and third brothers are all working outside, and her younger sister Hongxia is still in high school.

Qi Lei's mother is not in good health, and almost all of the family's farm work on more than ten acres of land depends on Zhuang Xiaodie alone.

Zhuang Xiaodie didn't say anything, didn't complain about being bitter or tired, got up early and greedy for darkness, and wielded the sickle vigorously.

Qi Hongyun took pity on Zhuang Xiaodie and her mother's hardship, and finally let go of Qi Lei's hatred for beating Zhou Dayong back then, and came to her mother's house to help for a few days.

Zhou Dayong also came to help that day, and together with Zhenhua, brought Zhuang Xiaodie's rice handfuls home and threshed them at the threshing floor.

When drinking in the evening, Zhou Dayong was triumphant and said to Zhenhua:

"Zhenhua, it's not me bragging, I have long seen that Qi Lei is going to be on his heels. But he didn't listen to me, and in turn he reused outsiders. If I had stayed on Qi Lei's construction site, would something have happened to Qi Lei? Now, Qi Lei is in trouble and has run away, and I didn't help him!?"

"Yes, yes, Brother Zhou is right. Zhenhua nodded, but he was thinking in his heart, if he didn't want to coax you to do some work for Zhuang Xiaodie, I would also give you a brick!

Seeing that Qi Lei was in trouble, he was a brother-in-law, and he was still gloating here, and he should be beaten in the face!

And Zhenhua also understands that the outsiders Zhou Dayong is referring to his brother-in-law Chen Daogang. He was jealous that Chen Daogang was reused by Qi Lei at that time, but he didn't see how much Chen Daogang had paid, and now he is still paying off Qi Lei's debts!

If you talk about paying, Zhenhua pays the most to Qi Lei and Qi Lei's family.

not only guaranteed Qi Lei to repay his debts, but also was beaten because of Qi Lei, almost lost his life, and still has sequelae.

That beating, Zhenhua's right shoulder bone was comminuted and fractured, and now when it comes to rainy days, he has a faint pain, and sometimes it is not good to write and carry a pen, eat and carry chopsticks!
