Chapter Seventy-Nine: Picking up the river, doing a little miscellaneous
He Tiantian didn't have time to remember the love that had fallen in his previous life, so he received the general mobilization of the whole village from Secretary Qi and began to organize everyone to go to the river (build water conservancy) to get the silt out of the river to facilitate irrigation in the coming year.

It's autumn now, and it must be done before winter. The deadline was very tight, and it took 20 days before and after.
It is ten miles away from Qijia Village, go in the morning, come back in the evening, and eat lunch at the construction site. In addition to providing lunch, you can earn five cents a day and four taels of food.
Although this work is tiring, it can make money and earn food, and many people are willing to go. Wang Lei, Zhang Qingshan went last year, not only can you eat enough, but you can also earn some back, very happy.
Secretary Qi organized 150 people in the village and brought them over early tomorrow morning. As for the tools, Secretary Qi and Director Zhao also made statistics, all of which came out of the villagers' homes and let people bring them.
After the last mobilization, everyone was in high spirits.
Except for He Tiantian!
Because the distance is not very far, I get up early every morning to go to work and come back on foot in the evening. Not only is the work hard, but the way back and forth is too far. Even if He Tiantian is not happy, she is also among the candidates for the river.
This time, there are not only places for heavy work, but also for cooking or working on the shore, which is relatively light.
Secretary Qi was embarrassed to give all these places to his close relatives, so it was He Tiantian's turn to cook.
In a village, this meal at noon uses a lot of things, and it must be done well so that everyone can eat well.
Cooking on the shore, although it is also very tiring, compared to those who go barefoot to work at the bottom of the river, He Tiantian feels that it is already very good.
Early in the morning, He Tiantian and Qi Xiaoyan followed the large army to work in the Erdaogouzi River section ten miles away.
"Sister Tiantian, it's so far, I'm tired of walking. Before he arrived at the place, Qi Xiaoyan whispered that there would be twenty miles back and forth every day.
He Tiantian smiled and said: "Your father won't let you come, you have to come, now that the quota has been reported, you can't go." Besides, everyone is not going fast, so follow slowly, and I will accompany you. ”
Qi Xiaoyan was a little tired, but she wasn't so tired that she couldn't get up, so she just complained to He Tiantian.
"The two of us are responsible for the meals of more than 150 people today, and I don't know if we can be busy?" Qi Xiaoyan looked at the two large cauldrons and large steamers used by the production team on the ox cart in front of her, and was slightly worried.
"What are you afraid of, in addition to us, there is also Director Zhao, I heard that she is often in charge of such work, and she will arrange it. We are two little minions, just two little miscellaneous people, as long as we are responsible for doing things. He Tiantian comforted, "We are young people, we must be energetic, don't start worrying before things happen." ”
After listening to He Tiantian's words, Qi Xiaoyan can always be encouraged, which is why Qi Xiaoyan likes to get along with He Tiantian, full of positive energy!
When I set off in the morning, the sky was gray, and when I arrived at Erdaogou, it was already a lot of light. In the morning, everyone ate casually at home, and Secretary Qi took people to the two-kilometer river assigned to Qijia Village.
A wooden board was inserted into the ground, on which was written "Qijia Village".
"Alright, stop here. Secretary Qi said loudly, "Director Zhao, you take a few people and set up the cooking shed, and someone will send food here in a while." ”
Director Zhao smiled: "Secretary Qi, don't worry, I know how to do this." You can take people down to work with peace of mind, and you must let everyone eat and drink well at noon. ”
He Tiantian looked around, it was still the place where the river was cut in the previous life, but this time it was two hundred meters longer than before.
This is a large river about fifteen meters wide and seven or eight meters deep, shallow on both sides and deep in the middle, with a lot of withered yellow aquatic plants in it, and now it is only about three or four meters wide on the surface of the water. This river, the main river in Taoyuan County, is irrigated from this river every year.
This is one of the reasons why the river is so important in the commune.
These tasks are distributed to each village, and the sooner they are done, the sooner they can go back. Make arrangements with the two village cadres, and Secretary Qi personally led people to work in the river.
Director Zhao found two laborers and began to build a shed of more than ten meters, and found broken stones next to it, built two earthen stoves, painted mud on the outside, dried them for a while, and could be used at noon.
Director Zhao had just put the two cauldrons on it, and in the commune, he came to distribute food. The share at noon, today is four taels of flour for men, three taels for women, and a big radish and shallot, a little oil, a little salt, green onions, ginger and garlic.
"Sweet girl, Xiaoyan'er, you two hurry up and take the big pot to the stream over there to brush it, and I want to start the introduction. Director Zhao said, "Brush the basin and bring a basin of water, just to brush the pot." ”
"Yes, Director Zhao. He Tiantian, and Qi Xiaoyan should get down, carrying the super big wooden basin and walking towards the stream.
The creek is very clear, and you can still see small fish in the river from time to time.
He Tiantian thought in his heart, if he was free for a while, he could catch some fish and make soup for everyone to taste.
He Tiantian and Qi Xiaoyan are all clean and diligent girls, and they quickly brushed the big basin and carried a large basin of water over.
"Pour the water into the pot and leave a little left. Director Zhao said, "I'm going to start making noodles, brush the pot, and you carry these steamers over to brush them." ”
Qi Xiaoyan and He Tiantian did things seriously according to Director Zhao's requirements. In a short time, the ten-story steamer was cleaned.
"Look, Sister Tiantian, there are fish in the river. Qi Xiaoyan said in surprise, "If we have fishing nets, we can catch them and cook soup to drink." ”
"It's useless to say today, we don't use fishing nets. When we go back in the evening, we look for the nets and catch the fish tomorrow. He Tiantian suggested, "I heard Director Zhao just say that at noon, we will eat white flour steamed buns, fried radish and stewed cabbage, if we catch fish, and then stew a fish soup, everyone can eat a little more." ”
"Yes, fish soup is better than boiled water!" Qi Xiaoyan agreed, every year when he went home from the river, his father was very tired, and he had to rest for a long time before he could rest. If you can eat better, maybe you can make everyone stronger and recover faster.
When the two of them came back with a ten-story steamer, Director Zhao was already meeting and making a face.
"You two will go to the nearby woods and get some dry firewood, which will be used in half an hour. You two move quickly. When Director Zhao saw the two of them coming back, he immediately ordered He Tiantian and Qi Xiaoyan to do things.
Although it is not heavy work, it cannot be idle.
But that's fine, no one else can work in the river, they rest on the shore. Busy work, everyone can see it, and no one will gossip. (To be continued.) )
