Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Dam Becomes Completed

Originally, according to the plan, Zhong Yuemin and Zheng Tong were going to go back to the village overnight, but with the addition of the dog baby, Zhong Yuemin decided to settle in the broken temple for one night.

The dog baby found firewood and grew it in the temple, and Chunhua also settled and several children slept.

Zheng Tong unloaded the donkey cart and gave the donkey forage and water, Zhong Yuemin found some corn stalks and spread them on the ground as beds.

The dog baby looked at the sleeping baby one by one, and laughed quietly: "I slept so well, and I snored like a pig." ”

"I'm finally full today, I won't wake up hungry at night, and I'll definitely sleep soundly. Chunhua also sat next to her, helping the children to cover their clothes from time to time.

"Hey, thanks to Yuemin and Zheng Tong today, we have been out for more than ten days, and we have eaten enough today. The dog baby said gratefully.

Chunhua also said: "That is, Yuemin and Zheng Tong are both cultural people, and they are really capable, otherwise relying on your donkey head, then our mother is afraid that she will really starve to death." ”

Zhong Yuemin sat in front of the fire and whispered, "Sister Chunhua, you can't say that. Today, thanks to Brother Dog Baby for helping us move cement, we don't know when we will get it!"

"He has the strength to do anything, except for being able to work, he has no ability. Chunhua glanced at the dog baby and said.

"Brother Gouwa has always been willing to work hard in the village, neither stealing nor cheating, nor being abducted, why is he not a capable person?" Zhong Yuemin asked rhetorically.

"But what's the use of being willing to do it? The people in the village are the same until the end of the year, don't they want to come out to beg for food?"

"Then do you want Brother Dog to be like a second-rate child in the village?" Zhong Yuemin asked with a smile.

Chunhua said: "That's not good, if the dog baby is a second-rate son, how can I marry him!"

The dog baby grinned when she heard this.

"Then why, Brother Dog Baby has been pouting in the field for a year, and he still can't let the baby at home eat enough?" Zhong Yuemin continued to ask.

Chunhua thought for a moment, then gave up, "Yuemin, you have no culture, you don't know much, you don't know much, why do you say it." ”

"Because there is a problem with the policy, everyone eats a big pot of rice, and no one is willing to work hard, so how can they harvest more crops. Zhong Yuemin said.

The dog baby also agreed: "This is reasonable, this crop does not deceive people, if you don't care about plowing the land, watering, fertilizing, weeding, and repelling insects, it will not grow long." ”

"This policy is a matter of the state, and it is not a matter for the people to say it. Chunhua glared at the dog baby, thinking that he was interjecting.

Zhong Yuemin said: "Brother Dog Baby is right, Sister Chunhua, what you said is also right, we can't change the policy, so we can only take care of ourselves first and live a good life." ”

"Can you feed them?" said Chunhua.

"The others are not guaranteed, and it is not a big problem to eat well. Zhong Yuemin smiled, "The dam in Wang Village has been built, our village is upstream, and it is almost completed, at least next year we can add a lot of water to irrigate the land." ”

"That's a good thing, but it can't save our urgency?" asked Chunhua.

"I told Brother Gouwa that he would go back to the village to work with us, not to mention the rest, the food will definitely be full, and you and your children will not be hungry." ”

"That's a good dare!" Chunhua said happily, and was a little worried: "But you don't have much food!" Chunhua and the educated youths got closer, so they naturally knew the situation of the educated youth.

Zhong Yuemin pointed to the big car parked next to him, "Do you see those cements?"

"See, isn't this used to build a dam?"

"We're going to set up an engineering team to go outside to pick up work and help others repair the dam. ”

"Can it be done?" No wonder Chunhua suspects that there is really no precedent for the establishment of an engineering team.

"It can be done. Zhong Yuemin affirmed that he can only give everyone confidence in this way.

Chunhua thought for a while, nodded and said, "Okay, I believe in you, I'll listen to you, and I'll go back tomorrow." ”

The dog baby next to her, who had been worried about Chunhua's disagreement, breathed a sigh of relief, but it caused Chunhua to roll her eyes.

In fact, Chunhua knew in her heart that the dog baby was too aggrieved in the county, and a big man went to beg for food for his aunt and baby, and he suffered a lot of cold eyes, which really broke his backbone.

"Yuemin and Zheng Tong are back!" Zhong Yuemin and his party were still far from the construction site, and Zhao Dayong saw them.

The educated youth, Hanwa, Du Laohan and Lao Zhao on the construction site all rushed to meet them.

"What's the matter, why are you all so enthusiastic?" Zheng Tong was startled by the crowd that surrounded him.

"You guys are leaving, we have lost our popularity, and everyone can't even work hard. Zhao Dayong explained.

"Don't you usually think we're panicking, why are we so rare now?" Zheng Tong said with a smile.

"You don't know, we usually think you two are very annoying, but let's go, we people don't even talk much, no one talks for a day on the construction site, I really think you're much happier when you're there." Cao Gang said.

"Yes, without the two of you, we really don't have a lot of laughter. Wang Hong also agreed.

"Alright, alright, don't be numb, aren't we back!" Zhong Yuemin couldn't stand their enthusiasm.

"Yuemin, what's going on with the food?" Old Zhao Tou, who was watching the uproar of the educated youth, finally asked about the matter.

"Needless to say, let's go out of the people, and the county leaders agreed to help us transfer food. Zheng Tong replied.

"That's great, we're running out of food, and now we're cooking cereals and drinking them every day. Jiang Biyun said happily.

······

"Grandpa Zhao, have we built this dam?" Zhong Yuemin and Old Zhao Tou chatted to the side.

"Almost, let's follow the drawings you gave, the overflow channel and the drain have been repaired, and when the cement is dry, we can fill in the soil. Old Zhao replied.

"Grandpa Zhao, how is the situation in Wang Village?"

"As soon as the dam in Ishikawa Village is built, the water potential in Wang Village will be smaller, and there will be a drainage canal, so I am sure that the dam will not be destroyed next year. "Lao Zhao Tou is also a person who is in good spirits at happy events, and he said happily.

"That's good!"

Lao Zhao Tou sighed with emotion: "Yuemin, it's really thanks to you, otherwise I am afraid that I would not be able to build this dam even if I die." ”

"Grandpa Zhao, when you say this, you are treating me as an outsider. ”

"Okay, don't talk about it, but if you have anything to use, you can speak, don't say anything else, it's still a bit useful to talk in this radius of a hundred and ten miles. ”

"Grandpa Zhao, I really have something to ask you for help. ”

"What's the matter, you say. ”

"Our dam has also been built, and I want the party secretaries and village chiefs of all villages to come and visit. ”

"What are you doing here?" Old Zhao couldn't figure out Zhong Yuemin's thoughts.

"I just want the party secretary and village chief of the nearby village to see how good our dam is, so that they can learn from us. ”

"That's something you can learn by looking at it. ”

"It's not going to be okay to learn, we can help. ”

"You mean we're going to help them build a dam?"

"Yes, we can set up an engineering team to help other villages build silt dams with overflow channels and drainage channels. ”

"Well, that's a good idea. Old Zhao Tou thought for a moment and asked in a low voice, "The cement you brought back is also for this use, right?"

Zhong Yuemin smiled and said: "Grandpa Zhao, you are amazing, I can't hide it from you with a little caution, do you think you can do it?"

"Yes, why not, now you can't do small business, and you can't help people!"
