Since Wang Shaodong's mother went to serve Wang Shaodong's little concubine in confinement, then Wang Shaodong's family suffered seedlings.

Wang Fumin is a man who rarely does housework, not that he is machismo, but because of the housework he does, Zhao Shiling always can't get used to it, either the table is not clean enough, or the floor is not swept thoroughly enough. In the end, Wang Fumin was not happy to do it, and Zhao Shiling was too lazy to get angry, so gradually the housework at home became Zhao Shiling's errand.

Now Zhao Shiling has something to do, and she can't come back for three or two days, and then no one has swept the land of Wang Fumin's house, and no one has brushed the bowls. Wang Shaodong went home, and shook his head when he saw that he was clean three days ago.

"Dad, do we have to hire a housekeeper to clean up for us?"

Wang Fumin was stunned for a moment: "What does housekeeping do?"

Wang Shaodong realized that in 2003, most people still didn't understand what they were doing, let alone the people in the mountain villages.

"It's about cleaning for others. ”

"Is there anyone else doing such work?" Wang Fumin was surprised.

However, Wang Shaodong is not sure that at this time, whether there is a housekeeping service company in Gangcheng County, I am afraid that there is a greater possibility of none.

"There are in the big cities, but we shouldn't have them here. Dad, I look at you, I'll let Aunt Yulong and Aunt Yujiang come over and clean our house, if you don't clean it again, you really won't be able to get in. ”

Wang Fumin glanced back at the room and scratched his head embarrassedly. At this time, he felt with emotion that his wife was really good.

Wang Shaodong took a roll of steel ruler from his home and put it in his pocket, and left.

It has rained for two days in the last three days, and Wang Shaodong estimates that the rainfall of these two rains will be 100 millimeters.

The upper reaches of the Wujiayuzi Reservoir are relatively large, and there must be about four or five thousand acres of land. The rain has been heavy for the past three days, and it should have flowed away before it had time to soak into the soil. Wang Shaodong wanted to go to the Wujiayuzi Reservoir to see how much water had accumulated in the reservoir in the past three days.

Wujiayuzi Reservoir, when it is full of water storage, the water surface area can reach 300 acres, the deepest water depth is more than 7 meters, and the average water depth is about 4 meters. The total storage capacity of the entire Wujiayuzi Reservoir can reach 800,000 cubic meters, which can meet the irrigation needs of 3,500 mu of fertile land.

In fact, there are only 1,000 acres of land downstream of the Wujiayuzi Reservoir, and the Wangjia Reservoir can fully meet the irrigation needs.

Moreover, there are many springs upstream of the Wangjia Reservoir, some of which even flow throughout the year, and from the rainy season in summer and June, the spring water flows into the reservoir and can even offset the amount of evaporation of the sun from the reservoir. Most springs don't stop flowing until winter, and then when winter comes, evaporation decreases, and there is no need to worry about the water level dropping in the reservoir. After the beginning of spring, the reservoir releases water for irrigation, and at the same time grows lotus roots, fishes and so on.

Of course, these are Wang Shaodong's long-term plans, and as for now, Wang Shaodong is most concerned about when the reservoir will be full of water.

When I came out of my house and walked a short distance to the south, I saw a black rubber dam at both ends, which was blocked at the narrowest part of the Wujiayuzi exit.

The entire Wujiayuzi is now also fenced off by Wang Shaodong with barbed wire, which acts like a sentry standing guard, protecting the cherry orchard and the reservoir.

The survival rate of the tens of thousands of cherry trees planted by Wang Shaodong is not bad, 90 percent of the cherry saplings have survived, and by next year, the first batch of big cherries will be harvested.

In these years, the price of this big cherry is very expensive, about 20 yuan a catty, which is not at all affordable for the poor. And this thing is still very scarce, the whole Luzhong City in 2003 planted big cherries on no more than 20 acres of land, and then the yield is also very scarce.

Wang Shaodong knew that Beitaizi Village, Huangzhuang Township, Gangcheng County, later became the largest large cherry production base in Luzhong City, and what cherry picking festival would be held every year. However, the big cherries in Beitaizi Village will not form a scale until 2007, and even if they do, they cannot be compared with Wang Shaodong's cherry orchard.

The next cherry production base in Luzhong City must be Wang Shaodong's.

There are two houses on the east side of the Wujiayuzi Reservoir barrage, and there is an electric control room in the house, which controls the rubber dam. Now, in order to ensure safety, the naughty bear children are not allowed to make trouble inside, and then Wang Shaodong arranges for Wu Lao Er and them to sleep in the duty room next to the electronic control room every night to watch the house. The door to the electronic control room is closed, while the door to the duty room is always open, and the inside has to be watched at all times.

There were originally six people on the mountain, including Su Yulong, Liu Yujiang and Wu Laoer, but now Su Yulong and Liu Yujiang were sent by Wang Shaodong to Songbai Mountain to build a toilet, and then only Wu Laoer and the four old men were left on Wujiayuzi Mountain.

Of the four old men on the mountain, the youngest is also sixty years old, and Wang Shaodong's salary of twenty yuan a day also has an element of care.

took good care of these old men, and then their children, grandchildren, and nephews saw their Wang family, but they were all respectful.

Wang Shaodong came to the duty room and saw Wu Lao Er singing Er Huang and listening to the radio at the same time. There are a lot of plastic water pipes piled up in the duty room, which are used to water the cherry saplings. It's the rainy season, so there's no need to water, so Wu Lao Er and they are light.

"Second grandfather, are you singing?" Wang Shaodong asked with a smile.

When Wu Lao Er saw that his host was coming, he hurriedly turned off the radio and sat up from the bed.

"Dongzi is here?"

"Well, come and see how much water our reservoir holds. ”

"These two heavy rains have accumulated a lot. ”

While speaking, Wu Lao Er put on his clothes and followed Wang Shaodong outside.

The huge reservoir is like a bowl, and now the bowl has a third of the water.

Wang Shaodong roughly calculated that the area of the mountains upstream of the reservoir is about 3,500 mu, and then the total precipitation of these two rains is about 100 millimeters, that is, the precipitation that may flow into the Wujiayuzi Reservoir is about 230,000 cubic meters of water in these two days. Then Wang Shaodong roughly calculated, and now the water in the reservoir must be about 100,000 cubic meters. If you do that, their reservoir should be full this summer.

Wang Shaodong glanced up at the Yangshui Station on the top of the mountain, and then said to Wu Lao Er with a smile: "Second grandfather, in the future, if we pump water from the Yangshui Station, we can just pump it directly from the reservoir." ”

If you want to water the cherry orchard, you need to pump the water into the water lifting station first, and then use the water pipe. This water lifting station can hold more than 100 more than 100 meters of water, and when it is full, the entire cherry orchard can be watered.

Wu Lao Er smiled and said, "It will save trouble in the future." ”

Wang Shaodong looked up at the sky, it was cloudy, and he really hoped that there would be a few heavy rains in a hurry and his reservoir would be filled with water.
