Chapter 529: In order not to let people gossip
"Our village also needs to build a canal?" Yun Jinshu asked when he heard the big guy's discussion. ena`com
"Yes, it leads to the reservoir that Uncle Guo repaired. The water storage capacity of the reservoir can meet the water supply of most of Lilac County, but there is only one river in our village, and there is no water source on the other side of the crop field, so it is difficult to water it in the dry season, so we have to build a canal to cross the crop field. ”
"So, when will you start repairing?" Yun Jinshu asked again.
Although their family does not have a field, Yun Jinshu put the purchase of land in the plan, and they will definitely have land in the future.
In this part of Dingxiang County, there will be drought in autumn, and in some years, there will even be less rain and less water in spring and summer, so that reservoirs and canals are more important, and she has to care more about them.
"Tomorrow. Most of the villages in our county will build a canal leading to that reservoir, but we have to stop it first and plan it before we can start digging, and tomorrow Lord Zhou will come. ”
"Now is the time of the farm, we have nothing to do at home, dig this canal, for the benefit of our village."
"With this canal, our village won't have to worry about irrigation in the future."
……
Everyone was originally answering Yun Jinshu's question, and they became excited as they spoke.
Yun Jinshu can understand their feelings, this is a matter of their own vital interests, who is not happy?
She didn't talk much with everyone, so she went home with Xiao Xiao to count the money.
That night, the chief went from house to house to inform that the digging of the canal would begin tomorrow, and that at least two men from each household, male and female, would be required. Of course, the special case of the velvet flower is excepted.
Yun Jinshu and Xiao Xiao also joined in.
Originally, the lieutenant didn't let the two of them join.
"You two don't have any land or land, what are you going to do that job? Digging a ditch is not good for you, and no one will say anything about you. ”
"Captain, let's go, our family has no land now, who knows if there will be one in the future? What if one day we buy a field and someone else says that we didn't dig a ditch today? Yun Jin Shu said.
"And the upstream of the river that crosses our village is the reservoir, and it is also connected to the reservoir, let's dig the canal connected to the reservoir, in fact, it is just to dig the canal connected to the river, it doesn't take much time and effort, maybe it will be completed in half a month, what can be delayed?" Xiao Xiao continued.
When the chief heard this, he nodded.
"Well, then you can go. You are also very profitable, and when you earn enough money, you must buy more land, you can buy more, our village is not a person who has not sold land, land is the foundation of the farmer's family, no land is not good. ”
"Okay." Yun Jinshu and Xiao Xiao nodded.
The lieutenant chief is elected by everyone, he is highly respected, and he really thinks about the people in the village, and they all understand.
Early the next morning, the people who had participated in the repair of the canal gathered in a large open space by the river, as promised by the governor the previous night.
Yun Jinshu saw at a glance that there were men, women, and children, most of them were strong young men, and of course there were women like her, as well as Yang Ronghua mother and son.
asked Yang Ronghua, she said that she didn't want people to gossip, and she also wanted to cultivate Congzi's sense of responsibility, Yun Jinshu sighed again, no wonder Congzi's upbringing was so good.
"Are they all here? Is there any family that hasn't come? The lieutenant came over and asked.
