Chapter 63
"Village Chief, what are you looking for us at this time? We're still busy watering the ground!"
"That's it, village chief, why do you have to talk about it now?"
"Yes, what's the matter?" "It's just that" In a short time, a large number of villagers had gathered in the courtyard of the village chief's house. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoOriginally, the village meeting was supposed to be in the ancestral hall, but there was no ancestral hall in Taohua Village because of the mixed personnel, so they all had to gather at the village chief's house. I saw that the squatting people standing in the courtyard were full of people, almost all of them discussing the purpose of the village chief's summoning of everyone.
"Okay, let's be quiet, this time I came to everyone to discuss the matter of watering the ground. This morning, Wang Jia Saburo came to me and told me a way, I think it is feasible, not only can improve the speed of watering the ground, but also very simple. Saburo, come over and tell everyone about that method. The village chief said, beckoned to Wang Sanlang, who was standing on the side, and motioned for him to come over and explain the method to everyone again.
"Well, my daughter-in-law once saw in a miscellaneous book that there was a method of watering, which was to dig a canal between the river and the fields, so that the water from the rivers could flow directly into the fields. As long as a small opening is made between the fields, and one is blocked after watering, the water will naturally pour the next one, and when there is no need to water, as long as you live at the mouth of the canal. Wang Sanlang tried his best to express himself more clearly, so as not to make everyone understand.
"This method is really good, San Lang, have you figured out how to dig it?" The person who spoke was Wang Tie's third uncle, Wang Sanlang's third uncle. In fact, Wang Yi was also surprised that San Lang's head was so good that he could think of such a good way. It can be seen that everyone completely ignored the daughter-in-law in Wang Sanlang's mouth when she saw this sentence.
"That's right, Wang family boy, tell me what to do? I don't quite understand after you finish speaking. "After all, the people in the village are generally coarse, and although they understand it very well, they don't understand exactly how to do it.
"That's right, San Lang, say it quickly! You kid, why don't you say it until now if you have such a good trick. It was Shanzi who spoke, and there was a sense of grief in his words. You must know that he is not as lucky as Wang Sanlang, originally he had a lot of land at home, and he could usually hire a short-term worker, but now everyone is busy watering their own land, so they will come out to be a short-term worker! So Shanzi sadly watered the land for three days, and he was tired and hurt all over. As a result, at this time, Wang Sanlang actually said that he had a way, and this method was good when he heard it, and suddenly Shanzi felt that his tiredness in the past few days was in vain.
"Bastard boy, I'm embarrassed to complain about San Lang, why can't you think of it yourself!" Old Man Liu happened to be standing next to Shanzi, and when he heard this, he immediately slapped Shanzi on the head.
"Okay, you two don't make trouble, hurry up and let San Lang finish speaking, everyone, hurry up, otherwise it will be too late after a while. The third uncle, Wang Yi, saw that the pair of unbalanced grandfathers and grandsons were about to pinch again, so he hurriedly stopped him.
"I think so, you can dig in the upper reaches of our village river, dig to the top of the field, so that it is convenient for the river to flow downward, each family in their own Longshang open a water outlet, so that the water can flow to the lowest one, and so on the bottom of the water will be blocked by their own home, the water will naturally begin to water the next family, and so on, everyone's land can be quickly watered. Wang Sanlang saw that he finally had his own part to speak, so he hurriedly said the method he had thought of along the way, he was really afraid that the grandfather and grandson would fight again in a while, and there would be no part for him to speak.
"Village chief, I think San Lang's method works, let's go home and dig the channel now. ”
"Yes, village chief, hurry up, I see that Brother Saburo's method is feasible. ”
"That's it, village chief, you make a decision, let's start work as soon as possible, save time, after all, there is no one in the field. ”
"That's right, village chief. "Village Chief, speak quickly!" "Yes, yes!" After listening to Wang Sanlang's plan, the people in the village thought it was feasible, and when they thought of their own land, they couldn't think about it, and they began to urge the village chief to make a decision. After all, this is also a major event in the village, and the decision is still in the hands of the village chief, so although everyone is in a hurry, they are all waiting for the village chief's decision.
"I have no problem digging a ditch, 100 percent in favor of it, but I have to say ugly things first. First, as you have heard, this field has to be watered by the families, so the higher the house, the later it will be to water. Now that everyone has agreed, then don't give me a conflict over this matter. If I find out then, don't blame me for being unkind. Whoever picks the matter will carry water and water the ground by themselves, don't tell me the reason when the time comes, do you have any questions?" After the village chief finished speaking, he looked at everyone with a calm face, waiting for everyone's answer. He is the head of the village, so he is naturally more thoughtful, and this watering is related to the interests of the whole village, and some people will definitely be blushing. Now to make it clear, the time to save the trouble will delay everyone.
"Village chief, I have no opinion, I listen to you. "Yes, I don't have a problem with it, as long as I can pour it on the ground." "That's right, village chief, watering the ground like this is faster than us carrying buckets of water to water the ground, and it saves a lot of effort. "Village chief, if anyone makes trouble at that time, we won't water him. Let's see who dares to stir up trouble. After listening to the words of the village chief, everyone expressed no opinion, after all, it is all at this time, it is good to be able to pour the ground, where can there be so many requirements.
"Okay, since everyone has no opinion, now let me make the second point. Watering is definitely not enough to water the village land in a day, so young people between the ages of 18 and 25 in the village take turns watching the watering in the field at night in groups of five, so as to plug the water outlet in time to avoid waste. Of course, when it goes to someone's house, you can also watch it if your family is not at ease, you have no opinion, right?" The village chief saw that everyone agreed to the first one, so he also said the second request, after all, someone has to watch when watering, not only can prevent some people from making small movements, but also avoid water overflowing the field and causing waste, after all, it is very tiring to keep a night watch.
"No problem, village chief, we will definitely be optimistic. "That's it, don't worry, village chief!" "Yes, village chief, let's get tools to dig the ditch, and pour the ground as soon as possible." "As soon as everyone heard the village chief's request, they agreed, and it didn't matter much anyway. Of course, some of them's faces have changed, and Zhang is one of them. The land of the big house is close to the upstream, and it belongs to the back poured inside. Zhang's originally planned to let his son block the water outlet in the middle of the night and water his own land first, what others love and have nothing to do with her, but he didn't expect the village chief to come to such a hand. She is not the only one who pays attention to this, but their wish is destined to be frustrated, after all, calling the land is a big deal, even if the village chief doesn't say it, everyone will not leave it alone, someone must watch.
"Okay, since everyone has no opinion, then let's go back to the tool now, and gather in the upper reaches of the village head river in a while. As soon as everyone heard the words of the village chief, they immediately turned around and ran home, for fear of delaying the digging of the ditch.
