Chapter 88: Water Storage
"Don't make any noise! Today......"
The pit I dug myself, and I have to jump down with tears in my eyes. No, Lin Yue and his wife are in charge of boys and girls respectively, racking their brains, struggling with saliva, and explaining to them a profound proposition: there is a kind of bullying called love!
"I know! It's like my mom spanking me, not hitting me, loving me! ”
This bear child's comprehension ability is inevitably too strong, if it goes on like this, will it lead a group of children astray? Thinking of the scenes of beating and kissing and scolding and love everywhere in Linzhuang in the future, people can't help but shudder.
"It can be understood in this way, but, Mom and Dad...... Ah! Anyway, you can't love others casually, only adults can, and you will understand later! ”
"What does it mean to be an adult? Is it okay to be as big as Uncle Cao Jian? ”
"No, at least in your 20s!"
Mom! It's so hard, it's much harder than fighting with people! Why do small tadpoles have so many problems when they grow into frogs?
Lin Youxin gave them a science popularization of "how the baby came to the world from the sky", and was afraid that it would arouse their curiosity. I scratched my head and couldn't organize effective language, so I was so crazy that I wanted to look up to the sky and sigh: "Ah! I'm just a kindergarten teacher, so why would I be asked such a complicated question? ”
Cao An's solution was much simpler and faster, and he pulled the little boys directly to the threshing floor:
"Come on, let me show you, how I beat Aunt Lin Yue, Luo Luo, the first move of the Five Elements Palm, the white ape holds the sky......"
"Ahh It hurts! Dad, why are you pushing so hard? ”
"It's you who don't beat yourself, your mother is much better than you, and you keep telling your father to work harder!"
"Oh! I see! I'm sorry, Dad! ”
"Oh!"
The little men all sighed as if they understood or not, and they didn't know if they understood or not, so Cao An didn't bother to care. After a set of palm techniques, he said with a straight face:
"Aunt Lin Yue and I practice hard every day, and we are not lazy at all. Look at what you guys are talking about, what do you look like when you are a man, learning from your mother-in-law's long tongues? In the future, no matter who asks you, you can't say half a word again, do you hear it? ”
"Hear me! Yes, sir! ”
After getting the children, there was calm on the surface. As for what everyone thinks and ridicules in secret, the couple pretends not to know when they open one eye and close one eye, and life goes on as usual.
Soon, the Qingming Festival came as scheduled!
During the Qingming Festival, it rains a lot, and pedestrians on the road want to break their souls! This poem deduces the situation of continuous rain and sadness of relatives in every Qingming season for thousands of years. However, how to explain the bright sun in the sky, did the rain lady go abroad for a long vacation?
There hasn't been a drop of rain all winter, and the sun rises and sets every day!
Since the beginning of spring, what a drizzle, drizzle, light rain is as moist as oil, ticking and dripping rain! It's all pale words, existing in books rather than reality.
"It's weird! When I went to the grave under the sun, I felt like I couldn't cry! ”
"Me too! Like that...... There was no atmosphere at all, and this was the first time I had swept the grave without shedding tears! ”
Dad Lin came back with the burden, his eyes were not red and sweaty, and he shouted when he entered the door:
"Wife, give me a scoop of water, and guess what? The spring in the mountain has dried up, and several streams along the way have been short of water, and the flow has been cut off, and there is only a squint of cat urine when there is water! ”
"What about this year's fields, so many acres of land, one pond is not enough!"
Mother Lin is also very hearted, this spring sowing is early, now is the time when seedlings take root and need water, and raising pigs and ducks requires a lot of water. This ghost weather, it's sad to die!
"You don't care so much, I'll go talk to everyone!"
Lin Yue attended the meeting at the strong request of her husband, and Lin's father first raised a question:
"Guo Feng, how many wells have you drilled? How much more cement is there? ”
"There are one or two wells drilled under each building, and drinking water is enough for the time being. Now it mainly depends on how deep and big the well needs to be drilled in the farmland. Half of the cement was given to Johor Bahru Town, and now we don't have a lot left, maybe 2,000 catties! ”
"Digging wells in the fields? Whose bad idea was this! Don't put the resources on the mountain, and toss your own people desperately! ”
Lin Yue was not laughed at at all, a group of big men would not turn their brains. Cao An saw that everyone didn't react, so he hurriedly explained to her first:
"People in Johor Bahru town say that the weather will become dry, and digging a well can alleviate the evaporation of water vapor!"
"That was in the past, and now there is so much water in the Yanhe River outside, and you still need to dig wells in the farmland for irrigation? How many wells have to be drilled, people are tired to death, and the fields are still dry! Why don't you just build a culvert or a water pipe to the Yan River, and dig a large reservoir here? ”
"Ahh
Empiricism kills people, and they only think about copying the old methods of the past, but they don't think about the transition of things, and there is a lot of water outside!
"What about us? We are so far away from the Yan River, I am afraid that we can't build a canal, do we still need to dig a well? ”
"There are so many mountains behind our village, can't you see them? There is so much ice and snow on the top of the mountain, so you can go to the Yan River to get water, dig a reservoir to store ice and water, so as not to let the sun go down again, and the ice and snow will melt and it will be wasted! ”
"Hey, hey! Or my wife, you think thoughtfully! ”
Cao An dogged his wife and raised his hands in his heart in favor of her idea. Three or four years of ice don't melt in just one summer, and it's still wearing a thick white hat. Maybe it's because I've seen too much, and because it's dark under the lamp, everyone hasn't remembered this point.
Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, what else do you see? Hurry up and arrange it!
So after the whole people drilled wells, there was a new round of craze in Linzhuang, and every household had to produce a strong laborer, dig pools, diversion ditches, and take ice cubes!
After several years of training in the last days, no one is a fool. After a little thought, you can understand that this is good for you, good for me, and good for everyone, and no one has any complaints. Women go to the fields to farm, raise livestock, and clean up the house; Men sweat like rain, work hard, and work in full swing!
Xinshan Town also received a warm reminder, and when she heard that it was the eldest daughter of the Lin family, she immediately changed the limelight and was busy digging ditches to divert water. In less than half a month, the raging river poured into the dug reservoir, no, it should be an artificial lake.
The shrewd old men also organized people to go up the mountain to cut down trees and cover the top of the canal tightly to prevent water from evaporating to the greatest extent.
Not surprisingly, after Johor Bahru finished his own work, only a small number of people were kept in charge of the field management, and the rest were sent to Lin Zhuang to help.
Collecting and transporting ice is hard work, and even if you are as strong as an ox, it is impossible to repeat the work for a long time. Therefore, the ice hiding operation in Linzhuang was not carried out very smoothly. Now with so many people helping, it seems like everything is falling out of the way. Everyone took turns to replace the division of labor and cooperate, and before the rice was harvested, most of the white hats on the top of the mountain were removed.
"Alright! The top of the mountain is too dangerous, let's take it when we see it! ”
"What are we going to do next?" Working in Lin Zhuang is a beautiful thing, and it is still the case until now, some people simply ran to Lin Yue stupidly to ask.
"Wells, of course!"
"Didn't you say that digging a well is a waste?"
"That was before, now there are so many people, it is wasted if you don't dig a well, the deeper the better!"
