Sun Mingjin answered: "Fifth uncle, this is Secretary Lin in the town. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

looked at Lin Yuan again and said, "Secretary Lin, I really didn't expect that your pickaxe is even more powerful than me." "Anyway, I have to pick up Lin Yuan's pickaxe when I step forward. The leader was interested, and he would plane twice, but he couldn't let him keep planing. The leader is the commander, and it is okay to take the lead once in a while, but it is not okay to keep doing it. Sun Mingjin is an "old oilman" and knows this truth, so he took the initiative to go forward to pick up Lin Yuan's pickaxe.

Lin Yuan didn't give it to him, "I haven't done farm work for a long time, you let me experience it a little longer." ”

Now that he is a township cadre, Lin Yuan wants to take this opportunity to get close to the grassroots people. It was not easy to have this opportunity, and Lin Yuan wanted to make good use of it.

"Sensationalism!" Chai Jundong, who was standing next to him, said disdainfully in his heart.

By this time the sky had cleared and the sun had emerged from the clouds. Lin Yuan shaved for a while, and he felt the beads of sweat on his face begin to drip down, and his back also felt wet. "What's going on? So useless? Lin Yuan couldn't help laughing at himself in his heart.

The old man who was called the fifth uncle by Sun Mingjin saw that Lin Yuan was already sweating profusely, and knew that although Lin Yuan was born in a peasant family, he didn't do this kind of work after all, so he stepped forward and took Lin Yuan's pickaxe and said, "Okay, Secretary Lin, you've been doing it for so long, take a break." Besides, you still have to go to command, and you can't finish here. Lin Yuan did a decent job, he was already very impressed. People are cadres, unlike them old peasants, who are used to grabbing pickaxes every day, and it is already rare to know how to do it, not to mention that they have been working for so long.

Lin Yuan stood up, pressed his somewhat sore waist with his hand, looked at the villagers who were still bending over and working non-stop in the distance, and sighed in his heart, he really couldn't do it, he was tired and sweating after doing it for so long, and he couldn't compare to those women and old people.

In fact, he didn't know that the reason why he was so tired was because he was pushing too hard and exerting too much energy. To do this kind of work, you should work harder, exert force at a uniform speed, and come leisurely without hurry. And in order to express himself just now, he used all his strength as soon as he came up, so he consumed too much physical strength in a short period of time. In addition, not only did he not sleep last night, but he was also drenched in rain all night, although he relied on a spirit to support him, but his body was actually very tired, and after relying on a courage to show for a while, his body could no longer provide too much strength.

The villagers worked from noon to night, and Lin Yuan kept an eye on the scene, during which he just went to the village to have a simple meal. Seeing that it was already dark and the ditch had been dug almost completely, if it continued like this, it would take two or three hours at most for the ditch to be dug through.

"Secretary Sun, it's getting dark, and the ditch is about to be dug through, so I suggest a night battle. The more the crops are soaked in the water, the more dangerous they will be. According to the current progress, it is estimated that the whole line will be dug through in about two hours, and it will be automatically drained at night. Let the village cadres cheer everyone up and hold on for another two hours. Lin Yuan told Sun Mingjin what he thought. He knew that the villagers must have been exhausted from noon until now, and most of the people who worked were old people and women, although they were all accustomed to labor, but after all, they were not as good as young and strong men. The intensity of this work is not small, he was tired and panting and sweating after only a while, although everyone was not tired, but Lin Yuan could imagine that no one would be easy at this time, and he had to try to drum up.

Sun Mingjin nodded, "We must not withdraw now, we will dig it out immediately, and we must let everyone work hard." Don't worry, Secretary Lin, everyone is rescuing their crops, even if they are tired, they can hold on. Later, I will ask the village cadres to shout and cheer everyone up. ”

Sun Mingjin looked at the sky again and said, "The sky has completely cleared, tonight is the time when there is a moon, you don't need to pick up the lights to do this kind of work, just have the moonlight." ”

Sun Mingjin called out a few village cadres to explain a few words, and the village cadres stood outside the ditch and tore their throats at the people who were working, shouting: "Everyone, pay attention! Attention everyone! The ditch is almost dug and everyone lasts for another two hours before the drainage can begin. At night, everyone sleeps at home, and the ditch drains here, so everyone can sleep peacefully. When you wake up tomorrow morning and come back here, the water will probably be almost gone. Don't slacken, let's work harder, and we're done. ”

Everyone was really encouraged, and the movement of the pickaxe and shovel was noticeably faster.

Lin Yuan is also very encouraged, since yesterday afternoon, he has been busy with flood control and flood control, although his body is very tired, but he is very excited. This is a real job, and it is a work for the people, and he feels more fulfilled than ever.

Chai Jundong followed beside him, talking to him without a match.

Chai Jundong was not very happy in his heart, the villagers were digging ditches here, and he didn't want to accompany him here. As the town leader, it is enough to guide the village to formulate and determine the drainage plan, and the specific organization is implemented by the village, so why is it necessary for the town leader to accompany here?

However, Lin Yuan had to accompany him here, he really couldn't help it. He wanted to go back by himself, but after careful consideration, he felt that it was not appropriate. In this flood control work, the members of the town's leading group implemented the village system, and Liwa Village was the village he was responsible for, Lin Yuan only came to help, and he was the deputy secretary of the town party committee.

"It's pure grandstanding and superficiality." Chai Jundong snorted coldly in his heart, "It is worthy of being from the Organization Department, and he is good at making superficial articles, no wonder he is so liked by Qi Zhengjie." ”

Chai Jundong thought hatefully in his heart as he watched the villagers shovel soil.

Lin Yuan didn't know that Chai Jundong was slandering him, his heart was full of passion, he wanted to watch the villagers dig the drainage ditch with his own eyes, and see the stagnant water flow down the ditch to the main drainage ditch to the south. On the one hand, this is the first time he has done things for the people in a real and close manner, and he feels both down-to-earth and excited; On the other hand, this is the task that Bi Youcheng's relatives are waiting for him, if he doesn't see the result with his own eyes, he feels unsteady, and when he reports to Bi Youcheng, he will feel empty-hearted.

The sky has completely darkened, the light of the moon has been able to cast a clear shadow on the human body in the field, although there is no wind, but the temperature is not high, the hundreds of acres of stagnant water in the moonlight seems very quiet, like a beautiful lake.

"If it weren't for flooding the crops of the common people, this water would be really good." Lin Yuan couldn't help but think in his heart.

There are no clouds in the sky, and the moon is very bright, which can be called a bright moon and sparse stars. The wind blowing from the water is quite cool, with a hint of autumn. From time to time, there was a sound of insects chirping in the nearby cornfield, intertwined with the sound of villagers wielding picks and shovels, sounding very interesting in the empty and quiet field.

Lin Yuan was originally a literati, and this kind of artistic conception easily touched him in his heart. The empty field, the bright moonlight, he hadn't felt it in years. In his memory, the most time he had close contact with the wilderness and the moonlight was when he was in middle school.

At that time, their hometown had the habit of planting watermelons, and their family also planted one or two acres of watermelons every summer, which was one of their important economic resources. Every summer vacation, he has to soak in the melon shed almost every day, not because he likes this, but because he has to. At that time, watermelons were considered a rarity, and when watermelons were ripe, someone had to be on duty in the melon fields 24 hours a day, otherwise there would be "gluttons" or even "thieves" to patronize them. For this "work", the hometown people have a special title, called "watching melons". When Lu Xun talked about his childhood friend Runtu in "Hometown", Runtu told him that in their place, the people who walked were thirsty and picked a melon to eat, and they were not stealing there, but they were in charge of badger pigs, hedgehogs, and rugs. Under the moon, you listen, the cheer is ringing, and Ru is biting melons. You pinched your fork and walked gently......

They don't have badger pigs there, and they don't have "Ru", but there are many gluttons who like to eat "white food". Of course, most of those "gluttonous people" are not adults, villagers, and no one will go to other people's fields to pick other people's melons to eat. Most of those who like to "get something for nothing" are half-old children, who carry baskets on their backs and mow the grass, and once they find that someone's melon field is unguarded, they will quickly break into the melon field to pick watermelons. Moreover, they are very unprofessional in their "professional ethics", not only picking, but also stepping on small watermelons that have not yet grown into melon seedlings. Of course, his parents couldn't allow it - no one would allow it! You know, their family is easily reluctant to eat a watermelon, more than a dime a catty, a watermelon can be sold for more than a dollar!
