Chapter 39: The Song of Tamping
There are more than 500 migrant workers living in the village, and it has become extremely lively. Under the careful and attentive listening, in a few days, we mastered the basic situation of the decisive battle of the embankment.
Regarding this battle of the embankment, Yoyo also checked it in detail on the Internet, which scared her a lot. It may be that God blesses the common people, or it may be that experts do have the ability, anyway, this restoration of the embankment is in the future.
According to records, in 76 years, the Yellow River was flooded, and the downstream areas were flooded. Dangerous situations occurred in many places on the Yellow River embankment, but in the spring of 7576 for two consecutive years, the Yellow River embankment was much stronger than the original, and with the vigorous help of the troops, it finally survived, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.
In '76, the floodplains of the Yellow River were relatively early, and the wheat harvest began as soon as it was over, causing great losses to the people in the floodplains of the Yellow River who had not experienced flooding of the Yellow River for more than 10 years. In addition, the pond pits dug up in this battle have brought great difficulties to the lives of the masses.
After the flood discharged, the water stored in the pond pit did not go down for two or three years, and in addition to the floodplains with small flows in the future, there was still water accumulation in some places in the 80s. It cut off the road out of the village in the beach area, and seriously hindered the travel of the people in the beach area.
Most of the migrant workers are in brigades, and there are also militia and youth commandos, all of which are young and strong male laborers, while the Mulan commandos are all composed of young women.
The embankment is taken from the farmland near the embankment, and the soil is transported to the embankment by migrant workers and rubber-tyred trucks, all of which are completed by manpower.
The rations of the migrant workers participating in the rebuilding of the embankment are provided by the state, and the production teams cook their own meals, and although 70 percent of them are coarse grains, they can at least have enough to eat.
The remuneration is calculated according to the earthwork completed, and the earthwork measurement is subject to the pits dug by each team. Remuneration according to work has greatly mobilized the enthusiasm of migrant workers, and everyone gets up early and fights on the construction site greedily at night.
The loudspeaker of the headquarters on the embankment sounded from morning to night, reporting the situation on the construction site at any time, and the passionate mobilization slogans were clearly heard in the village.
Each layer of soil on the embankment must be tamped, and the sound of the trumpet suppresses the sound of the horn and spreads far away. In Hantun Village, you can faintly hear the sound of "Hi-Ya-Hey-Hey-Hey", "Hey-Ya-Hey-Hey", and the children in the village will also shout "Hi-Ya-Hi" from time to time.
Youyou was curious, and on Sunday he pestered his brother to go to the embankment to watch the excitement, but Hula went to a large group of children.
The construction site was full of people, digging, bulldozing, pulling, ramming, and shouting for energy. Tired and sweating, his face was flushed, shouting slogans and shouting vigorously, and he was in full swing one by one. In particular, the trumpets of tamping come and go, wave after wave, like a singing competition.
This side shouted:
Collar: Comrades who beat the rammer
Ying: Hi-hehehehe
Collar: Pull up our rammers
Should: Hey-yay-hey-y
Hit it one by one (the same below)
It's flat and light
Comrades, bow down
The ramming is high
The palm is steady
The ramming is accurate
The palm is right
The more you fight, the smoother it gets
Sixty days of hard work
Let's get our home back
The voice shouted over there:
Collar: We'll do whatever we say
Should: Hey-yay-hey-y
Collar: Rope on the back of the shoulder
Should: Hey-yay-hey-y
Everybody pull hard
The stone rammer danced happily
One person doesn't use force
The rope can't be pulled evenly
The stone rammer is not falling correctly
It's going to be dangerous
Let's pull it together
The stone rammer flew into the sky
Use all the hard
It's not dangerous
Hit it lightly over and over again
Smash it twice
Three times to tie
Let's take the lead
Yoyo watched the video and was soon infected by the enthusiasm of the crowd. When I returned home, I suggested to my grandmother that a service point be set up at my own sales point to provide needlework and thread for migrant workers to sew and mend clothes. I also specially ordered two thermal insulation barrels with the appearance of foreign iron sheets in the mall, one of which can hold about 50 catties of water, and provide boiling water for migrant workers throughout the day.
In this era of lack of firewood, it is really not easy to maintain it. In fact, most of the boiling water in the bucket was smuggled out of the space by Youyou. The command found out, and specially sent someone to praise grandma, and also sent a cart of chopping wood.
The sales point of Youyoujia is also famous, and more and more migrant workers are coming, and migrant workers who are four or five miles away from the village also take the time to take a look. There are more and more image seals that have been exchanged for leisurely, and there are four or five hundred.
Except for the boutiques picked out by my grandfather, the rest were put in the mall by Youyou, and the lowest was also priced at 1,000 yuan, and it was snatched away on the shelves. The price of cigarette boxes is even more outrageous, and some people buy one for two thousand. Grandma was incredulous about this: "Who are these people, the money is so stupid." ”
In some villages of Shuikeng Commune, more and more people are coming to the sales point of Youyoujia. Mainly because I heard that her family's consignment buys all kinds of rare items, and the price is also high. Not only are the things sold complete, but they are not out of stock.
Even the villagers of Zhoulou didn't go to the consignment store of the Xiangyang Brigade anymore, and went over the embankment to buy things at the consignment point of Youyou's house.
Now, more than 1,000 eggs are harvested every day. Yoyo asked Grandma to leave more than 200 food stations to send to the commune, and the rest were smuggled into his own e-commerce mall to sell.
In the consignment point, there are more than 50 pieces of eggs just collected every day, but fortunately, the sales of liberation shoes are large. Migrant workers do heavy work and pay for shoes, and liberation shoes are strong and wear-resistant, and are deeply loved by everyone. More than 300 pairs of liberation shoes ordered by Yoyo in the mall have been sold in a few days, more than three yuan per pair, and more than 1,000 yuan have been earned, ensuring the capital turnover in the distribution point.
Every day, people take all kinds of rare items to sell, and most of them avoid people sneaking around, probably because they are frightened by the "four olds". The prices given by grandma are relatively high, and she tries to help the embarrassed villagers as much as possible.
In the evening, it was the time for Grandpa Yoyo to play a role, and his old man finally had the opportunity to display his talents.
However, I haven't come across any valuable good collections, but they are still quite popular in the mall, and there is a saying: "Gold in troubled times, collection in prosperous times".
In the fifties of the twenty-first century, as long as it was genuine for some years, it became a collector's item, and the price continued to rise. Everyone has a few hundred-year-old objects hidden as family heirlooms.
In order to be afraid that grandpa and parents would find something suspicious, Yoyo suggested that grandma buy a large wooden box to hold the fine products selected by grandpa. Grandma went to the house of Han Yuchen, an old carpenter in the village, and ordered a moth-proof Tsubaki wooden box, which cost fifteen yuan.
Within ten days of opening, more than 500 catties of brown sugar were sold, seven cents and 21 catties, and almost 400 yuan was bought. More than 1,000 pairs of nylon socks were sold, and the income was more than 1,500 yuan, and these two were almost 2,000 yuan.
Counting the ten yuan unity, my grandmother said excitedly: "I haven't seen a lot of money for more than ten years, I didn't expect to live a good life in this life." ”
Youyou secretly discussed: Grandma, you still boast that you have seen the world, where is this, what is the name of the big money that you have seen in the storage center.
Compared to income, the money spent on collecting goods is simply too little. In 75 years, the unified purchase price stipulated by the state is: two cents per catty of scrap iron, two yuan of scrap copper, one dime and five cents for messy hair, five yuan for long hair over one foot, and four yuan for more than two feet. I collected almost 100 copper products and a lot of hair, and I didn't use up the 200 yuan.
Now, my grandmother goes to the supply and marketing cooperatives to buy goods at every market, and at the same time hands over seven or eight hundred eggs, which is the one with the most eggs in the village-level sales point. It is very popular with food stations, and the advantage is that it is convenient to buy meat, and you can buy two or three catties of cheap meat every time.
Fortunately, grandma doesn't like to eat fatty meat like people nowadays, and buys lean meat with pork ribs every time. At this time, selling meat is a one-size-fits-all, and there is no such thing as fine segmentation. On the way home, Yoyo took out some more from the space.
If you don't go back to eat meat, you will send half of it to your uncle's grandfather's house, and your uncle and grandfather said happily: "Thanks to our own consignment point, I didn't expect there to be such a benefit." ”
My uncle and grandmother were worried: "Sister, can you go on like this?"
"Sister-in-law, don't worry, you can't pay for it, when did you see me do a lot of things. You and my brother are getting older, and the children are growing up, so as long as we have the conditions, we can't lose the children. ”
Grandma knows in her heart, there is a lot of meat in the mall, it's not that she is afraid of revealing the filling, and it is no problem to eat meat at once.
"Sister, what you think is that in the past, we had money and nowhere to buy it, but now we can buy it, and the children are blessed. But there is one thing, if you lack money to come to the house, you can't be difficult for yourself. Auntie instructed.
"Sister-in-law, you look down on me, this small shop doesn't dare to say anything else, our own flowers can still be earned, you don't care how I make money. ”
"That is, we can still open a store and just try to do a blind job. However, sister, you still have to save more money, brother will fill in some more for you, build a house as soon as possible, and the children will grow up. ”
"I can build a good yard now, but do I dare?" said grandma in her heart, finally realizing the grievance of having nowhere to use and having money to spend.
Zhangji Commune has a noodle machine, and grandma is finally willing to spend money on noodles, and she carries grinding noodles when she buys them, but you say that there is no stone grinding noodles.
Grandma scolded her with a smile: "You just do it, you just ate white flour buns for a few days, you still don't think it's good, if you want to eat stone ground noodles, you have to wait for your mother to grind it for you in a week." ”
"Long live Grandma!" shouted Yoyo cheered, so frightened that Grandma hurriedly covered Yoyo's mouth.
"Little Ancestor, you really dare to cause trouble with your mouth, but you can't say it anymore. ”
Yoyo stuck out his tongue and forgot the taboos of this era. I thought: Grandma, you are about to come to the next life, and you have to be frightened just by listening to it.
