On the way back, Song's father and Chen Changshan saw that on the way, the land was a piece of loess, and the seedlings of crops had just been unearthed.

The members of each brigade are working together to water the fields, hoping to make this little seedling grow successfully.

And when Father Song and Chen Changshan saw this scene, they knew that the drought had come.

Chen Changshan said: "It seems that after I go back, this drought resistance and seedling protection will be implemented immediately!"

Father Song replied: "Yes, compared with them, the emergence rate of our brigade is okay, as long as we feed well, I believe that the harvest should be good during the autumn harvest." ”

Chen Changshan said: "Yes, even if it can't catch up with the weight of previous years, eighty percent should be okay." ”

Father Song echoed when he heard this: "Yes, there will definitely be a reward for your efforts!"

The two hurried all the way, and when they got home, it was already past eight o'clock in the evening.

Father Song was not ambiguous, and after dinner, he went to Grandma Li's house overnight.

After talking to Li Jian about the letter, Li Jian replied when he heard the words: "It's okay, Zhiyuan, I'll write another one when I have time tomorrow."

The contents of that letter have been etched into my mind. ”

Father Song felt a little guilty when he saw this, "Big brother, I blame me for not handling this matter." ”

Li Jian said: "According to what you said, I didn't go this time, and if I can't go, I won't be able to come back." ”

When Father Song heard this, he knew that Li Jian was comforting him in disguise, "How can it be as scary as the eldest brother said, but about the letter, I think it should be better to wait for a while." ”

Hearing this, Li Jian asked suspiciously, "Zhiyuan, why is that?"

Father Song returned a little embarrassed: "Hehe, aren't I afraid that the little officer will take the opportunity to retaliate against us?"

If he recognizes your handwriting and tears up the envelope again, and we don't know yet, it's worth the loss.

Instead of being so passive, it is better to wait for a while, and when he has almost forgotten about it, we are writing the same letter. ”

Li Jian also felt justified when he heard this, "Okay, Zhiyuan, just do what you say! After the wheat is harvested and the rice is planted, I will mail the next letter." ”

Because he had to go to work the next day, Song's father did not stay at the Li family for long and returned to the Song family.

Early the next morning, all the strong laborers of the Bright Brigade began to carry water and water the ground.

Since it is not yet summer, the number of times the ground is watered is almost every three to five days.

In addition, the rivers and ditches are very close to the fields, so these jobs are really commonplace for the members of Guangming Village who work all year round.

At noon, Chen Changshan beat gongs and drums to publicize in the village, saying that a commendation meeting would be held in the evening.

The villagers were all confused, including Song's father.

When Song's father and Song's mother were having lunch, the two chatted while eating as usual.

"Zhiyuan, do you know what kind of medicine is sold in this captain's gourd?"

When Father Song heard this, he shook his head and returned: "I don't know, maybe it's a policy from above!"

At night, under the big elm tree.

Because of Chen Changshan's advance notice, all men, women, and children in Guangming Village have arrived.

Now it's almost summer, (tomorrow is the Dragon Boat Festival) the temperature is suitable at night, whether it is the elderly or children sitting there still feel very comfortable.

Because of the advance notice, I started work an hour earlier than usual tonight.

The members had dinner at home early, and then took their small benches to the big elm tree.

When Chen Changshan announced the meeting, he only said that the commendation meeting would be held in the evening, but did not say why.

Therefore, at this time, there was a lot of discussion in the crowd.

"Why did you say the captain held a commendation meeting?"

"Who knows?

"Don't say it, it's really possible, I heard my relatives say that the industrial revolution is quite big!"

"Do you think it's the Xiaoqingshan Reservoir? After all, the industrial revolution is still quite far away from us. ”

"It makes sense, but this Xiaoqingshan Reservoir has been completed for almost a year, and the commendation meeting is only held now, will it be a little late?"

"I heard that our captain only paid back the money owed yesterday. ”

"Okay, okay, don't talk about it, the captain is here. ”

Immediately afterwards, I saw Chen Changshan, holding a notebook in his hand, and walking towards the venue in all directions.

Chen Changhai was followed by Chen Changhai, who was holding a tray, and on the tray were some enamel jars, towels and other daily necessities.

I saw that after Chen Changshan arrived at the venue, he cleared his throat and shouted loudly: "Okay, everyone be quiet, the meeting will start immediately." ”

After seeing that the people below gradually quieted down, Chen Changshan spoke again.

"Our commendation meeting today is about our Xiaoqingshan Reservoir.

As I believe you know, since spring, it hasn't rained too much.

If the drought continues like this, the grain output will definitely be reduced or the harvest will be lost.

But our brigade has an absolute advantage, that is, our Xiaoqingshan Reservoir. ”

For the next half hour, Chen Changshan praised the Xiaoqingshan Reservoir.

After finishing speaking, Chen Changshan picked up the enamel jar in front of him and took a big sip of tea.

Then he continued: "We have one person to thank for the completion of our Xiaoqingshan Reservoir, that is, our first production captain ~ Song Zhiyuan."

If it weren't for him, the cement from our reservoir wouldn't have come in so easily, and it would have been on credit.

Next, with very warm applause, we welcome our great hero Song Zhiyuan to the stage to speak to us. ”

At this time, Song's father in the audience was completely confused.

Why did he become a great hero of the Xiaoqingshan Reservoir?

After Chen Changshan finished speaking, he saw that Father Song did not react, but just looked at him in a daze.

He said to Song's father again: "Comrade Song Zhiyuan, please come to the stage and tell the members of our brigade what you think." ”

Song Xiaoling was looking at her father from the side, this is completely out of state!

Then he stretched out his hand and pushed Father Song, and whispered, "Dad, call you!"

Immediately, Song's father reacted, Chen Changshan asked him to go on stage to speak!

He was not ambiguous, asked Mother Song to check his clothes, and then went to the rostrum.

After Father Song came to the stage, he first bowed to the audience.

"Hello everyone, we live in a brigade, I believe everyone knows me, then I won't introduce myself, my name is Song Zhiyuan. ”

Father Song's opening was very humorous, and with the humorous opening, Father Song simply said a few words.

Finally, he concluded: "Therefore, we farmers also contribute to the construction of the motherland by farming.

Because the workers in the city need to eat the food we grow in order to work.

The soldiers who defend the country need to eat the grain we grow, and even our chairman needs to eat the grain grown by our peasants in order to have the strength to guide the work.

Therefore, we farmers are still very important, right?"

When the members below heard these words of Father Song, they also suddenly realized.

Yes, they used to be called mud legs, but they didn't want to think about it.

Those who call them mud legs eat all the food they grow from their farmers!

Therefore, they are not inferior, whether they are urban or rural, they are all equal.

Thinking about this, the members in the audience burst into thunderous applause.

Seeing that the field was almost hot, Father Song opened his mouth again: "So, let's also contribute to the construction of the motherland!

Okay, that's all I want to say, and I'll leave it to our captain. ”

Chen Changshan saw that Father Song had already warmed up the field for him.

handed Father Song a grateful look, and then said: "Just like Comrade Song Zhiyuan said just now, in order to better build our great motherland, then we must fight drought and ensure a bumper harvest next."

And the key to this is our new Xiaoqingshan Reservoir!"
