The construction of this kind of embankment does not need to consider the erosion of the river, and it is used temporarily, so the most primitive method is adopted.

Dig up the soil from the riverbed and throw it into the river, and you can naturally build a embankment.

But after all, it is in the water, and the water has the ability to turn mud into muddy water.

Blocking both sides of the embankment with bamboo roots can achieve twice the result with half the effort.

The river is already very shallow, and the deepest part is only two meters, and the bamboo fern that is more than two meters long comes in handy.

The two wooden boats were fixed by Lu Shuilong and Tong Liuzi, and there were five or six male workers on each boat, and under the command of the two, they inserted bamboo roots into the water.

According to the requirements, the width of the embankment is two meters, but the distance between the two rows of bamboo shoots is four meters.

There is also a person on each of the two boats, holding a huge wooden hammer, after the bamboo root is inserted, they have to use the wooden hammer to press it, and strengthen the stability of the bamboo root.

The men and horses on both sides of the river have also begun to move.

The grouping of personnel is also very particular, and both sides of the river are divided into two groups, left and right, each group of about fifteen or sixteen people.

There are three shovels in each group, one for each of the three boys.

Start by digging with a shovel, one to the left and one to the bottom. In the middle, instead of pulling out the shovel, you can dig out a clod of earth that is about a square by grabbing the handle of the shovel and pulling it hard.

The rest of the people lined up in a row at a distance of one or two meters, and used the method of solitaire to transport the clods of soil to the embankment by hand and threw them directly into the river.

Simple, practical, without technical content, it is just a hard work.

Migrant workers are also workers, and they are also highly organized and work efficiently.

It was only half past ten in the morning, and the embankment had already taken shape.

On the other hand, in the neighboring village more than 20 meters away, the work began at six o'clock, and the river embankment was still in the water.

The white hand did not move, and he commanded from the side.

Seeing that it was almost over, Bai Shou asked Lu Shuilong to rush to the next river with a boat and about 20 workers.

After another hour, the embankment was more than a meter above the water.

White Hand divided the rest of the people into two groups, one group was led by Tong Liuzi, rowing another boat to the other river.

There is also a river, which is personally led by Bai Shou to ten male workers and ten female workers.

Four shovels and six bamboo sticks were carried by the male workers.

The white-handed thief, fearing that the neighboring villagers would be jealous and destroy, left Cai Chaoxian and a male worker behind, squatting in the dark and watching, until the village militia company sent someone to take over.

And this last river is so narrow that it can't be narrower, and when the water is full, it is only about ten meters wide.

Fortunately, the river is less than four meters wide and less than one meter deep.

The white hand asked the male worker to throw the bamboo root into the river, and then flew out, jumped on the bamboo root a few times, and came to the other side of the river.

Amid the cheers, several bold male workers also learned to jump to the other side of the river with their white hands.

Even three female workers, who were also agile, jumped over.

White-handed commanded a few male workers, picked up the bamboo roots, and inserted them horizontally into the river.

It's still two sides to do it together, two groups on one side, laughing and doing it.

In less than an hour, a river embankment two meters wide, eight meters long, and two meters above the water surface was completed.

In just one morning, the four water-protected embankments that were long, three short and all the four embankments that were requested by the white hand were completed.

In the afternoon, the militia company of the village sent men to take over all the embankments.

In addition to the participation of 100 militiamen, there are also 10 village cadres, 20 village leaders, and some village representatives.

There were more than one hundred and seventy people in total.

Bai Village is rich and wealthy, and all those who participate in the water protection work will be paid one and a half yuan a day, plus two meals.

The whole staff was divided into six groups, each group of more than 20 people. One group during the day, but two teams at night.

Water protection is the berm, not only to prevent people from sabotage, but also to carry tools to strengthen the river embankment at any time.

When it comes to water protection, the white hand is a little unimpressed.

As a white hand of the village head, the main consideration is the issue of expenses.

More than 80 people were dispatched in one day and one night, and even if one person had two yuan a day, the total expenditure for a day would be more than 170 yuan.

Ten days and one thousand seven, which adds up to a lot. I don't know when this drought will be, if it is another 100 days, it will be 17,000.

There are other expenses, which are estimated to cost at least five thousand dollars.

Money can't be spent, but it can't be spent indiscriminately, this is the principle that a family should have.

The white hand gets up every morning to look at the sky, hoping that it will rain a little, even if it is light rain or moderate rain.

But there was not even a trace of clouds in the sky, and God dozed off.

Now, when I am on duty in the village with my hands in my hands, my favorite thing to do is to call the county weather station and ask when it will rain.

Fighting, the other party was impatient, and the two sides began to quarrel.

The white-handed unreasonable three-point life, I really can't say it, so I scold the other party.

As a result, the other party called the police.

The county public security bureau really sent someone down, and when it was found out that it was the village director, it was also for the sake of the public, so it was impossible to persuade it.

But white-handed is also a joke.

The New Year's Day of '85 has passed, and half of January has passed, and there is only one month left before the Spring Festival.

God still didn't mean it to rain.

The water level in the river has dropped by nearly half a meter compared to when the embankment was built.

The well of the white hand house has been dry for half a month.

There are two water tanks in the backyard and one in the front yard, but they are still full.

The white-handed family has a pumping machine, and in the past, when the river was full, water was pumped directly from the river.

Now the pumping machine is no longer available, so I have one more job every day, going to the river in the morning to fetch water.

He specially prepared ten pairs of buckets and ten poles, and arranged twelve workers every day to go down to the river in the morning to carry water.

Two people scooping water, ten people carrying water, and filling three water tanks has become a fixed task.

But the river water is already very muddy, and after picking it back and precipitating, it is still reluctant to wash your face, bath and wash clothes, but it is not good to wash vegetables and cook and boil water.

In order to ensure the health of the whole village, the village invested in the purchase of hundreds of empty oil drums, which were washed and used as water storage tanks.

Then hire a tractor, bring a water storage tank, and go to the Longao Reservoir to pull water.

The water from the Longao Reservoir used to be worthless and could be used casually, but now it has also become a charge.

The price is also capricious, a tractor for a piece, you a tractor to pull a ton or ten tons, you will be charged a dollar.

Baicun has to pull more than 30 tractors a day, plus freight, and it is an expense of 100 yuan a day.

Fortunately, I had money, and I thought to myself, if I didn't have money, just like other villages, I mobilized everyone to rely on manpower to go to the mountains more than ten miles away to fetch water.

The patrol at night to protect the water continues to insist.

Neither the white hand nor Tong Guojun dared to be lazy, and each person led a group, day or night, and insisted on patrolling the village boundary.

Patrols turned out to be necessary.

Because of the frequent theft of water, five river embankments were dug up in just a few nights.

There is a special phenomenon here, the river water in the neighboring village falls quickly, and the river water in Bai Village seems to fall slowly.

What's going on?
