Changgui sighed in his heart, in eighty-three years, the drought was serious, and there was a drought for several consecutive years. Later, water conservancy facilities were built everywhere.

The Xuefengzhai Brigade has built several electric irrigation stations to pump water from the river to supplement the lack of irrigation water for farmland. By the nineties, things were much better. The irrigation facilities that had been built were slowly being dismantled.

After that, for decades, the construction of water conservancy facilities was basically in a state of stagnation, and by the time Changgui was reborn, most of the farmland had been barren, and the double-cropping rice had basically become single-cropping rice.

Changgui couldn't control these things, he couldn't stop the drought, and he couldn't get the commune to build the electric irrigation station earlier.

However, Changgui can prepare in advance. When the rice is planted, there should still be water from the reservoir. At that time, Changgui had to prepare for water storage.

The ridges should be trimmed and should not leak. Otherwise, it will be filled with water and drained overnight.

It is not enough to fill the paddy fields, but for a week of sunny weather, a field of water can be dried. You have to keep the paddy fields stocked up on more water. So, Changgui is going to dig some dark ditches in the rice fields.

Nowadays, some people have advocated raising fish in rice fields, and later called the fish raised in rice fields called rice flower fish. Changgui is going to dig a ditch in the rice field to raise fish. The key is to store water.

After Changgui planted the rice, he did not stop and began to dig a trench in the rice field. The rice had turned golden, but Changgui dug up the rice by the roots, piled it up in the field, and dug out the ditches that crisscrossed the rice fields.

"Changgui, what are you doing here? Dig a ditch to raise fish? Wang Yanhu stopped at the edge of Changgui Field.

"Senior brother. I'm going to start fish farming in the rice fields. This year, the sun is so big, I am afraid that there will be a drought in the future, so I dig a ditch to raise fish, and by the way, I can fill the rice fields with water. Changgui said.

"I think you're foolish. We have several large reservoirs above us. I've been to see that the reservoir is surrounded by a large area of mountains, and the water contained in it is not a problem to supply most of our Xuefeng County. After the reservoir was repaired, we have never had a particularly severe drought here. Wang Yanhu said.

"It wasn't a big drought yet. If there is a prolonged drought, the water supply in the reservoir will not be available. For a week in a row like this, the rice fields of Xuefeng Village were all cracked. When the reservoir supplies water, how much water will we have to put to fill the rice fields of our brigade? The rice fields are cracked, and the water can't be turned off, so I don't know how much water will leak. Changgui said.

Wang Yanhu looked at Changgui: "I found that you seem to be a different person now." You just toss. It's better than you going to drink. We have a lot of fish fry in our fish pond, you have made the rice field, go to my fish pond to catch as many fish as you want. ”

"Senior brother, I originally wanted to invite you and Master to dinner these days. Look at what day you're free. Changgui said.

"Come on. You live your life well. Bring your cub well, better than anything else. Master was also relieved. Although Wang Yanhu is not fake to Changgui, he is still very concerned about it.

The drunkard father has disappointed these people who care about him the most over the years. But when something happens to the real Changgui, these people will still stand up silently.

Changgui wanted to engage in rice field fish farming, and soon spread in Xuefeng Village, and the villagers had to ask two words about rice field fish farming as soon as they met Changgui.

Changgui doesn't soak in the rice fields every day to dig trenches, but just dig for a while in the morning and dig for a while in the evening.

Quarrying fungus is Changgui's biggest plan in the near future, and he has no money in his bag and no sense of security. Although these days, everyone doesn't have much money in their bags, and there is no bad habit of comparison. But Changgui was reborn, and in that era, everyone changed the comparison of the law, compared to the house, compared to the car, compared to the wife, and compared to the son......

Changgui was reborn, and he had no intention of opening the wind of comparison in the mountain village, but just wanted to live a more stable life.

Zong Qiu proposed to go into the mountains with Changgui several times to quarry stone ears, but each time Changgui was perfunctory.

"If you don't take me into the mountains, I'll tell someone else about Shi'er." Zong Qiu threatened.

Changgui sneered: "Then you go and tell others." Anyway, it's not me who won't be able to get my mother-in-law in the future. ”

"Didn't you say you wanted to get me a stepmother?" Zong Qiu said dissatisfiedly.

"So, you're still looking forward to your stepmother. Then I can't live up to your expectations, hurry up and make money to get you a stepmother back. Changgui nodded firmly.

"Nope! I didn't say that. Zong Qiu was anxious.

"Then where are you going to stay cool? The last time I went to the mountains, I ran into that tiger again. I almost couldn't come back. There are only two fathers and sons in our family, and we must always leave one at home to pass on the ancestry. "Changgui has arranged a lot of tasks for Zong Qiu, such a bear child, you have to find something to do for him, you can't let him be idle, he will do things when he is idle. The plan to teach him literacy is going to be accelerated, and he will not be idle if he buys him more workbooks in the future.

Changgui remembered that in his previous life, he was so envious that other people's children had exercise books. Changgui's eyes were a little strange when he looked at Zong Qiu.

Zong Qiu was a little hairy by Changgui's staring, worried that if Changgui was unhappy that day, would he take him and sell him, so that he would have money to please his stepmother.

For a few days in a row, Changgui has already brightened up the places where it is easier to quarry stone ears, and he has picked dozens of catties of stone ears. If it can really be sold for a few hundred yuan a catty, Changgui already has a huge asset in this era. It can suddenly leapfrog into the ranks of 10,000 households.

After picking these dozens of catties of stone fungus, Changgui did not continue to mine. There are several bags of dozens of catties of stone fungus, and it is not easy to store them at home, so they must be sold as soon as possible.

But if you want to go to Dayong, Changgui feels that he doesn't have enough money. There is not much money left from the last sale of wild goats. Scattered and spent.

So, next, Changgui is going to go into the mountains to set some wild things and put them in the market to exchange for some cash.

The family has not eaten meat for a while, and Zong Qiu's kid will vaguely indicate that he wants to eat meat from time to time these days.

"In fact, although wild meat is not as delicious as pork, it is much better than pickles." Zong Qiu looked at a pickle held by his chopsticks and sighed with emotion. This pickle is not Changgui's own family, it was given by Aunt Chunxi.

Pickles are quite flavorful when eaten with a meal once in a while, but if you want to use it as a main dish for a long time, eating it for a while can make you vomit.

When many people in Xuefeng Village have no vegetables to eat at home, they fry pickles in a variety of ways, stir-fry pickles, pickle soup......

"If you want to eat meat, just say it. Don't beat around the bush. Changgui said angrily.

"Actually, I don't really want to eat meat. Fresh vegetables are also very delicious, but we don't have them at home. Zong Qiu said.

"We still have loaches at home, do you want to eat them?" Changgui asked.

Zong Qiu hurriedly shook his head: "I'm tired of eating that loach." A smell of smoke. ”

"You won't have to eat it if you want to eat it later." Changgui said with a smile.

"Dad, can you take me with you next time you go into the mountain?" Zong Qiu asked.

"If you run into a tiger, I'll throw you in the mountains. If I run alone, the tiger will definitely not be able to catch up, and with you, I will not be able to run. Changgui said.

Zong Qiu was a little scared, but he especially wanted to go: "You don't always be able to meet that tiger when you enter the mountain. ”

"What if it happens?" Changgui asked.

"Then, then you don't have to worry about me." Zong Qiu said in a low voice.

"Okay, I'll take you next time." Changgui knew that this stinky boy had begun to stick to himself now.

Zong Qiu was ecstatic and jumped up excitedly. In the bottom of his heart, he still looked forward to going into the mountain with Changgui. Not only into the mountains, but also wherever Changgui goes, he wants to follow.

Changgui originally planned to put Changgui in someone else's house when he went to Dayong, but seeing Zong Qiu's current appearance, he wanted to take Zong Qiu with him again. Maybe it would be more beneficial for Zong Qiu's future to be able to get out and take a look at Zong Qiu at such a young age.

With Zong Qiu, Changgui naturally wouldn't go to areas where there might be tigers, so he put some condoms on the periphery of Xuefeng Mountain. After putting the case away, I went back the way I came, and checked it again. Sure enough, there was a harvest that day, and two gray hares were trapped.

The two hares weighed more than a dozen pounds, and Zong Qiu volunteered to carry them with a basket. For a child as young as Zong Qiu, there is still some weight.

"Dad, can you bring me into the mountain tomorrow?" Zong Qiu asked.

"You can come if you want. If you meet a tiger, don't blame me. Changgui said.

"Dad, I'm lucky. It won't be so easy to meet tigers. You see you took me into the mountains, and you never went back empty-handed. Zong Qiu tried his best to show his worth.

"You and I have never gone back empty-handed when I went into the mountains. Last time you didn't come, I took a wild goat. Changgui laughed.

The atmosphere between the two fathers and sons is much more harmonious now, and the estrangement seems to have begun to melt little by little.
