Chapter 150: Mobilization of Villagers for Water Disasters
After Liang Xuejun left, although Mrs. Liang and the others did not say a word about this matter, the atmosphere at home became more and more solemn, as if a moment of peace before the storm, which made people panic and uneasy, and several children also settled down a lot.
In late July, the farmland entered the planting period again after a short period of fertile fertilizer.
It has always been the custom of Ota Village to harvest wheat and order corn, and to plant corn is to plant corn.
Liang Xuetao's family plans to plant some soybean fertilizer and fertilizer soil, soybeans can be used as bean paste, can be ground into soybean milk, and soybean straw can also be used as feed, which is very versatile, which is considered to kill multiple birds with one stone.
Early this morning, Liang Xuetao set up a spirit gathering array, put the bean seeds into it and began to warm up, returned to the hall, and saw Mrs. Liang standing in the courtyard looking at the sky in a daze, so he walked over.
Mrs. Liang glanced at the wind, pointed to the sky and said: "Seeing that summer planting is about to begin, there has not been a drop of rain in our village for more than two months, and if it continues like this, it will not be a good thing for the crops in the field." ”
Liang Xuetao's heart moved slightly, and suddenly remembered an incident mentioned by Meizi in his previous life, if he remembered correctly, this year should have been dry for six, seven, eight or three months, and then it finally rained, but it was a non-stop downpour for more than ten days, and Datian Village almost didn't suffer from waterlogging because of this.
If it is true as Meizi said, then it is time to take some corresponding measures to prevent flooding.
Thinking like this, he walked out of the courtyard gate, hurried to the village committee building, and when he entered Zhou Cheng's office, he found that there was a person he didn't expect sitting inside-Guo Xiangbing.
He is in his forties, with ordinary eyebrows and eyes, a gray shirt, navy blue striped pants, and a thin body that is straight. With his hands on his knees, he is a little respectful, and he looks like a very particular and meticulous person.
After greeting each other, Zhou Cheng motioned for Liang Xuetao to wait for a while, and then continued to ask Guo Xiangbing.
Guo Xiangbing is the only son of the old man Guo, and there are some discords between father and son due to various reasons such as living habits and children's education, so Guo Xiangbing rarely goes home in recent years except for the New Year's holidays.
After the old man Guo froze to death drunk, he left a house and three acres of land, and his sister Guo Cuilian took care of the funeral. Take these properties and fields directly for yourself. Now living in the Guo family is Guo Cuilian's biological son Xu Yanguang.
If Guo Xiangbing does not return to Datian Village in this matter, there will be no disputes, and it is understandable for Guo Cuilian to inherit her brother's inheritance, but Guo Xiang's family suddenly returned.
He arrived in Ota Village yesterday. First, I learned of my father's death. Immediately afterwards, he found that his residence was occupied by his cousin's family.
After an argument between the two gangs. Xu Yanguang directly blasted Guo Xiangbing and others out of the door, and the latter was so angry that he reasoned with Guo Cuilian. As a result, the other party refused to hand over the real estate and land for reasons such as taking care of his brother's funeral by himself, and Xu Yanguang broke the pot for him.
Guo Xiangbing's failure to rush back to Datian Village in time to take care of his father's funeral was completely forced by the situation, not his subjective consciousness, and from a legal perspective, failing to take care of his father's funeral does not mean losing the right of inheritance, but Guo Cuilian held on to this point, saying that he was not worthy of being the son of the old man Guo.
After listening to Zhou Cheng, he immediately said that if what he said was true, the village committee would definitely intervene.
Guo Xiangbing couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, he had never dealt with Zhou Cheng, he didn't know the details of the other party, and he didn't know that the village committee was not monolithic now, but he unilaterally thought that since Xu Rongguang was the village head, Zhou Cheng, as the secretary of the village committee, should have a lot of friendship with him.
It was a helpless move to find Zhou Chengcheng this time, and he didn't expect the other party to be so cheerful, so he responded on the spot.
Immediately afterwards, Zhou Cheng asked him again, "Are you having trouble eating and living now?" ”
A flash of surprise flashed in Guo Xiangbing's eyes, he pursed his lips and shook his head, sat for a while, and left.
After he left, Liang Xuetao sent a cigarette to Zhou Cheng, and after swallowing the smoke for a while, he said casually: "Guo Xiangbing has always been a person who wants to die to save face, and he will not accept help from others until he has to, what difficulties do you ask him?" It's a vain question to ask. ”
Zhou Cheng smiled and asked him about his purpose instead.
Liang Xuetao then mentioned the weather conditions during this time, and after chatting for a while, he bluntly said that there may be waterlogging after the drought.
"Uncle Taozi, where did you get this news?"
Liang Xuetao paused and said, "My master can observe the heavens."
When the words fell, Zhou Cheng's throat suddenly tightened.
Although he had never seen Liang Xuetao's master, he also knew that he was a master in the world, Uncle Tao Zi had always acted steadily, so he was afraid that he was seven or eight points sure, and after thinking about it carefully, his face was much more ugly.
The flooding is indeed a major event, and once the houses and fields are flooded, it will undoubtedly be a heavy blow to the villagers of Datian Village, who have just experienced the locust plague, but it is really unconvincing to believe that there will be flooding after a while based on the words of a person who has never met in the world.
Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if you are a little convinced, you must know that to prevent floods, you must build dams, dig ditches, and set up drainage piles, each of which is a huge project.
He said the concerns in his heart, Liang Xuetao seemed to have expected these situations, Gujing Wubo's expression did not change in the slightest, and he took a sip of tea slowly, and then said slowly: "If there is a flood this year, it is very likely that this phenomenon will happen again next year, if the village does a good job of flood control projects, it is also a matter of once and for all, of course, I also know your difficulties, this time there is no need for such a big battle, let's take our time, I mean everyone take advantage of the plough and sow seeds, dig the drainage ditch in the field first, Prepare some more large rocks, or fill them with small stones in sacks, so that if the water in the river rises, we can fill it in. ”
When Zhou Cheng heard this, he groaned and said, "I will convene a village committee to discuss this matter in a while." ”
In the afternoon, at the village committee, he mentioned these suggestions, except for Xu Rongguang, no one else had any objections, Zhou Cheng acted vigorously and resolutely, immediately convened a villager meeting, and quickly passed the resolution.
In order not to delay the summer planting, for several days in a row, from the morning light to the complete fall of night, except for one meal and three meals, the strong laborers of each family were busy digging ditches in the fields.
Fortunately, there are not many fields in Ota Village, and they are all sloping land, so after four days of busy work, the ditch in the field was finally dug.
At the same time, Liang Xuetao's family was also very busy, not only setting up a ditch in the field to drain water, but also digging a trench about 100 meters long and three meters deep in front of the courtyard gate.
After a few days, at the dinner table early that morning, Mrs. Liang suddenly mentioned her youngest son Liang Xuejun. (To be continued......)
