The Chinese New Year's Eve of seven or eight years was different from previous years.

People have worked hard for a year, and they should have had a family reunion and a peaceful Spring Festival.

But due to the situation, the cadres were even deprived of the opportunity to celebrate the Spring Festival. We also have to insist on fighting drought on the first day of the Lunar New Year.

At that time, the leaders of the county government held a three-level meeting of the commune, the brigade and the production team and said: Seven or eight years is an extraordinary year, an extraordinary year, God has been unable to get along with us, the beginning of wheat planting has not been through the plough rain, from the wheat began to resist drought and water, until the end of the year, to keep the wheat seedlings, since it is an extraordinary year, we must have a way to deal with the extraordinary year, in order to seize next year's wheat harvest, we must overcome all kinds of undesirable factors, fight with the sky, fight with the earth, fight with people, until the wheat harvest is bumper!

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the leaders called on the party and the masses to stop fighting drought, and the time has come to test the cadres, and they must take a firm stand and take a clear-cut stand to fight the tough battle of fighting drought and watering wheat, so that the party and the masses can rest assured and give a satisfactory answer to the state and government.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, we will also go to the countryside to inspect and investigate, and if we find those who are passive and sabotage, we will give punishments and resolutely punish them!

The leader's report was a holy decree, and after the meeting was dismissed, everyone had no choice but to do so, mobilize the masses to convene a meeting, and decided to fight a victorious battle against drought and water wheat to carry the revolution through to the end.

There were no large-scale mechanized watering tools, no electricity, only the most advanced waterwheel at that time. What is the use of the call from above?

Since it is an order from the superiors, the cadres dare not disobey it, and they have to implement it meticulously.

So under the supervision of the task force, I had to bite the bullet and do the work I didn't want to do.

In order to cope with the inspection, the meeting was carefully launched.

To the north of the Nuwa River, is our wheat field, so we had to organize young and strong laborers to take turns on duty to push the water truck for watering, but no matter how fast the water wheel pushed, the water output is limited, (water wheel: that is, dig a well by the river, divert the river water into the well, and under an iron water cylinder in the well, and circulate the water in the water cylinder through the leather bowl on the waterwheel chain) For the big dry ditch used for watering at that time, the water could not flow at all, and the water that came out was soaked in the big dry ditch, and watering was useless.

In order to match the flow of water, two large pools were dug on both sides of the water wheel, and eight people took turns to wave the water with a bucket (the bucket is to use a rope to make a bucket, and one person on one side used force at the same time to wave up through the water dug with the bucket) to speed up the water flow. Even if it is like this, day and night, 20 people work for a day, and they can't water a fraction of the ground. Coupled with the watering of the masses on their shoulders, the area of watering in a day is very small, but the masses are tired and exhausted, which is really time-consuming and laborious and laborious and hurts the people and money.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, he began to inspect the countryside early in the morning, and when he saw the enthusiasm of the masses, he showed a smug smile on his face.

When watering with a bucket, because the two of them used too much force, the rope was broken, and the two fell into the river at the same time, and in the cold winter, the river soaked their clothes, shivering from the cold, and the upper teeth knocked the lower teeth, gurgling, so they had to return home with the support of others, change their clothes and roast the fire, and boiled ginger soup to drink, and the two were still seriously ill, and they recovered after a few days. After the leaders of the commune learned about it, they took advantage of the topic to play and set up the two as pacesetters in the fight against drought, and made a speech at the propaganda meeting of the conference, so that everyone could take the two as an example, not afraid of hardship or tiredness, and was a fearless proletarian revolutionary spirit.

This year's Spring Festival was spent in a busy and intense watering.
