Chapter 322: Drought
With the personal intervention of the old secretary, the construction of the new village has removed a few obstacles, and the construction progress has begun to be accelerated under the premise of ensuring quality and quantity, and striving to allow more people to move into the new house before the year.
However, this hot scene had only lasted for a few days, and it had to succumb to the obscenity of God and slowly stopped.
"Oh my God, can't it rain to keep us cool? It's hot to death! ”
In the tent of the construction team, several workers who were taking a lunch break had no intention of sleeping because it was too hot, so they simply sat around and played cards.
"Isn't it, especially these days, haven't you seen that the water in the ditch is about to dry up? I've heard that there hasn't been such a drought in the area for more than 30 years. ”
"Two fives! Hurry up and play the cards, what to see? ”
"This weather has caught up with our hometown of Yangcheng, which is too exaggerated! Hey, look, look outside, even the swallows are sunburned and can't stand it. ”
A few people looked in the direction he pointed, and several swallows were surrounding a faucet, constantly looking down to peck at the droplets of water dragons to relieve the extreme heat.
"There's really no way to get it! Even the wells in the field have been dried, you say, there are so many greenhouses and fruit trees in the field now, if it takes a few days, won't they all have to be dried? ”
The old secretary sat next to Wang Yong, beating his thighs with anxiety on his face. In the past few days, following the village, the people in the town have been busy fighting the drought, but they have tired his old bones.
"When will the green water be released? Did the county give me a letter? Wang Yong asked without raising his head while cleaning up the table.
This drought is also in his memory, when the guò irrigation canal was used to bring water from the Qinglong River to irrigate, so that the crops in the fields this year were not lost. But it's too far away. By the time the water came, the crops on many plots could not wait.
Now, because of his own changes, the environment of the entire port city has changed greatly from the era in his mind. At least this water is not lacking enough to pull water from other places by car.
There are still a few wells in the crop fields that are still producing water, and it is not a problem to barely maintain them for a while. What's more, Wang Yong had already thought of an idea. Some of the responses have already been implemented.
"Do you have any good ideas, kid? Being so unhurried and unhurried, this is not your usual style. Kid, this time is different from the past, haven't you heard, this is a big drought once in decades, and I don't know when it will rain. ”
The old secretary grabbed Wang Yong's arm and dragged him to his side, staring at him tightly with his eyes full of excitement. My whole body began to tremble with excitement.
"Alright! Don't worry, do you think I'm not in a hurry these days? Isn't it all taken care of? Wait, tomorrow a professional drilling team will come to dig a well for us, a deep well! ”
As soon as the old secretary, who was originally full of excitement, heard Wang Yong's words, it immediately turned cloudy, and then it became cloudy. Drilling? Isn't it still fighting in the ground? It's been three days, and it's sixty or seventy meters deep, but what's the use? Still no water! It was led by the most experienced master in the county. In his words, there is not a week. Hitting a depth of more than 100 meters, even if it comes out of the water, is not enough.
What's the use of you finding a well-drilling team from out of town? It won't take a week, I'm afraid that the little kinetic energy in the field will be directly chopped and taken home as firewood.
"Hehehehe, what kind of expression do you have! Don't believe me? ”
Wang Yong looked at the old secretary with a smile, he knew the old secretary's thoughts very well at this time. There are several well-drilling teams in the county. Both government and private people come to the village.
Wang Yong also followed him to the field to see, and followed the masters of these well-drilling teams to look for water all over the village, and finally there was a deep water well that was sure to drill a large amount of water, that is, the one that is still busy in the village.
It was also the equipment they used to drill wells. Wang Yongcai woke up like a dream and thought of the current idea. In the past few days, he has been looking for relationships, and wants to find a few more to come over, so as to completely solve the problem of water shortage in the village.
However, this drought is not just in Hong Kong City, but in the whole of North China, and the water shortage in Hong Kong is not the most severe.
There are priorities, and he can survive for a few days on his side, and he is not in a hurry. Just at noon today, at lunchtime, someone called and said that a professional well drilling team could come over tomorrow.
"Old secretary, you didn't hear clearly, what I said was professional! It's not the amateurs in the field right now. Just the gap in the equipment, then there is no way to say. ”
The old secretary suddenly became interested, raised his head and looked at Wang Yong waiting for his next words.
"Look at the old guy they use now, a few meters of iron bumps, the wire rope is hoisted, and it is smashed down purely by gravity, which is generally at most 80 meters deep, and only our one here can hit 100 meters in the county."
The old secretary nodded, this is the truth. In fact, in normal terms, 80 meters is enough. Twenty or thirty meters of water in the courtyard of each house is normal, and forty or fifty meters is considered a deep well.
"Do you know what kind of equipment I used for this well drilling team?"
"What equipment?"
"Have you ever seen the kind of oil exploration? People are drilling rigs, and it only takes about 20 hours to hit 200 meters deep, and the soil quality in our field can easily hit 100 meters without encountering hard rock layers for more than ten hours! ”
The old secretary stood up excitedly, and the masters of several well-drilling teams in the county said that there was no water in the village, but the water level was too deep and their equipment could not reach it.
Now, if we could dig a few wells 200 meters deep in the village, the old secretary would suddenly disappear all his worries at the thought of the cold well water being pumped out of the ground and flowing into the arid crops.
"Yes, yes! No, mine hurry up and notify me, tomorrow people are coming, but we have to cooperate with good people, the sooner the water is pumped out, the smaller our losses can be. ”
After speaking, the old secretary took a step and left, and he really couldn't wait for a moment. As a farmer who has never left the village and has dealt with crops all his life, his feelings for crops are too deep!
Seeing the crops in the field wilted under the bright sun, he was not energetic, and he was about to be cut off, and he was more anxious than anyone else.
The next day, just after dawn, two large trucks drove into the entrance of the village. The old secretary, who was waiting here early before dawn, rushed over with an arrow step, and shouted from afar.
"Are you here to dig a well for my village?"
As the car stopped and the door opened, a middle-aged man in short-sleeved overalls jumped down sweaty, held the old secretary's hand, and said enthusiastically:
"You're the old secretary of this village, aren't you? The higher authorities have informed us to dig a few deep wells for your village, we are a geological exploration team, are you in a hurry? ”
"No hurry, no hurry. You haven't eaten yet, have you? Hurry up and let them all come down, let's go and have some breakfast first, and then I'll have someone make a table to treat you at noon. ”
"Hehe, you don't need to eat, in this way, you can let us get some and send it to the field, let's go to the field quickly, this drought does not wait for anyone, dig the well a day earlier, and you will relieve the drought a day earlier!"
The old secretary, a traditional old-fashioned person, likes this kind of person who always puts his work first, and as soon as he heard what people said, he immediately took his hand and greeted him.
"Who, hurry up and call Liu Yaowu, and say that the well is coming, and then he hurries to the entrance of the village." After speaking, he turned back to the person in charge and asked:
"What do you call it, young man?"
"Old secretary, my surname is Huang, you can call me Xiao Huang."
"Okay, I said Xiao Huang, don't be polite, follow me into the village. Our village is different from other villages, there are breakfast shops on both sides of this street, and my old man will give you a guarantee that no matter where your people come from, you can find your favorite local breakfast. Go, go, hurry up and tell them to come down, we won't miss this moment. ”
Captain Huang had no choice but to beckon his team members to get out of the car and follow the old secretary into the village for breakfast. In fact, they hurried over from a place a few hundred kilometers away from here at one o'clock last night, and they were already hungry.
However, the drought is urgent, and they can't afford to delay time. These people have long been accustomed to this kind of hungry and full life in the wild.
By the time Liu Yaowu brought people over, Captain Huang and his team members had already returned to the car with their stomachs held up one by one. As soon as Liu Yaowu and the others arrived, they immediately came to the west of the village under their leadership.
"This is our greenhouse vegetable planting base, there are more than 1,000 acres of land, most of which are exported, and now the water source here is also the most urgent. Growing vegetables, unlike other crops or fruit trees, can be quite strong, this vegetable field is not watered for a few days, and it will be all over! ”
Liu Yaowu led Captain Huang around and returned to the team. All kinds of machinery and equipment on the car have been unloaded from the car with the help of the villagers.
"Village Chief Liu, don't worry. I also took a look just now, our water and soil environment here are very good, this water is not lacking at all, you can rest assured, I guarantee to drill a good well for you within one day! ”
The anxious Liu Yaowu listened to Captain Huang's assurance, and the expression on his face was not much better, and he still had a lot of doubts about this. After all, the situation of this great drought is real, and it is impossible for you to say that you can fight it, right? What if, the first well is drilled and scrapped? Isn't this kind of thing uncommon? (To be continued.) )
