"Hiss...... Hiss ......"

The birds chirped happily in the willow trees.

The weather is really hot, and the only one who can call at this time is the bird.

At noon, Changgui and Zong Qiu were resting on the bed.

It's so hot that I don't even want to move a finger.

"Dad, if someone else doesn't come to call our family to pump water, won't all the money for buying a pump be lost?"

"Hmm."

"How much do you have to buy if you buy candy in paper packets?" Zong Qiu was so distressed that he couldn't do it.

"You know how to eat." Changgui knocked on Zong Qiu's little head.

"Other adults say that the reservoir will release water. Even if the reservoir does not release water, there will be such a big drought, and the above will not care. "Zong Qiu's worries are not unfounded.

Changgui smiled: "The top must also be able to manage it." Do you think this drought is only available to us in Xuefeng Village? Look at this sun, how poisonous is it? Other places are worse than ours, and we can't plant late rice here at most. In other places, even the early rice harvest has been lost. It's true that we're fighting drought right now, but we can't take care of our small place for a short time. ”

The last time Changgui went to Shaoqing to buy a diesel engine, he felt it. The drought is not only in the entire Shaoqing City, but also in the whole province. Even within the province, the drought is also severe in neighboring provinces.

If it weren't for Changgui and decisiveness, he might not even be able to buy a pump.

In his previous life, he didn't take care of the Xuefeng Zhai Brigade. In the end, it was only by relying on the self-help of the people of the Xuefeng Village Brigade that a small half of the farmland was barely saved. However, most of the paddy fields are still not planted with late rice. As a result, the yield of late rice was seriously reduced. More than half of the peasant households in the Xuefengzhai Brigade are short of grain.

Later, I heard that the cadre of the irrigation district who caught fish in the dry reservoir had been arrested and sentenced. More than a dozen were treated. Almost all the cadres on the water conservancy line were reunited in the class room.

But it didn't help, and the people of the Xuefeng Village Brigade suffered. Many families have relived the difficult years of eating bran because of the lack of food.

In his previous life, the drunkard father drank to death, and the whole village was short of food, so naturally no one could take care of Zong Qiu, an orphan.

Call!

Changgui let out a long sigh, he didn't quite remember how he came back to life. Just remember, dig a rat hole and look for food inside. Even if the locusts in the mountains are caught, they will be roasted and eaten......

Changgui glanced at Zong Qiu, who was lying next to him and was always squeezing him, this kid was not afraid of the heat, I really don't know if this guy would be able to live if he left him.

"Zong Qiu, if I leave you alone at home, will you be able to live?" Changgui asked.

Zong Qiu immediately sat up and asked with tears in his eyes, "Is it that some short-lived ghost introduced you to a widow, and you want to leave me alone?" Living with a widow? ”

"Fuck off! If I want to beg for you, I will also ask a yellow flower girl to be your stepmother, and I will look down on the widow? Changgui knocked on Zong Qiu's skull.

"You have been married, and you are still so old, and if you have a problem with your braincase, your yellow flower girl will marry you." Zong Qiu quickly got out of bed, ran into the hall, and stuck a small head out from behind the door.

Is it tolerable or unbearable! Shoot the cubs as soon as possible! It's too big to reach.

Just waited for Changgui to walk out of the room, Zong Qiu had already run away.

"Changgui, help me go and pump some water from the seedling field. The seedlings are dying. Zhang Fangqing really can't help it, his family's seedling field can't put a drop of water. He went to fetch a few loads of water in the morning and poured it into the field, but he didn't even see a shadow of the water. It was sun-dried all at once. If it goes on like this, he will be tired and broken by a handful of bones, and he will not be able to save the seedlings in the seedling field.

Zhang Fangqing's rice field is too far away from the water source. Zhang Fangqing didn't know if his skull was flooded, so he put the seedling field in such a place.

"Your seedling field is too far away to be taken over." Changgui said.

"That's fine, pump the water to the field below my house first, and then pump it up from that field." Zhang Fangqing said.

"It's not impossible, but you've pumped twice. You have to pay double the money. In addition, the field below is also dry and cracked, and it will definitely leak. Therefore, this field also has to be counted as money. Changgui knew that Zhang Fangqing was too greedy. He definitely wanted Changgui to only collect the money for one seedling field, not even the money for the field below.

"You can't count it like that, can you? You count the rice field twice as much, I can accept it. But I don't want to pump water from that field, I just need to cross the water. "Zhang Fang settles it, it costs a few dollars, and the flesh hurts a lot.

"Then you'd better call someone else. I spent more than 1,000 on this pumping machine, and I can't get back at all by charging a little pumping fee. If you still want to take advantage of it, then I don't bother to pump it for you. When Changgui said this, he didn't wait for Zhang Fangqing to bargain, and then said, "To move the pump once, you have to move the pipe, which takes a lot of work." It's not cost-effective to give you a little bit of land. You have to call someone to do it yourself to lift the pump and move the pipes. Otherwise, I won't pump you. ”

Zhang Fangqing originally wanted to bargain, but the expensive family was unwilling to pump water for his family at all, and he didn't dare to pay back the price, so he hurriedly agreed, "It's not a machine." I have a lot of brothers, so when the time comes, just call a few to help. ”

The seedlings in the seedling field have begun to wilt, and if no more water is pumped, the seedlings will be finished. If you have poor seedlings in previous years, you can still pick up the leftovers of others. This year is simply impossible, and the rice fields in many people's homes in the brigade are cracked. If you don't save it, the seedlings will turn into hay.

Changgui originally thought that it would take a lot of speech, but he didn't expect Zhang Fangqing to admit it so quickly.

Zhang Fangqing went back for a while, and really called all his brothers over. If you have a lot of strength, you can lift a water pipe.

Under the command of Changgui, Zhang Fangqing and his brothers carried the pump to the river, and then connected the water pipe.

"When the water is pumped, you go and tease the ridge of the field below you, don't leak the water, otherwise you won't want to irrigate the seedling field." After Changgui finished speaking, he shook the shaker to turn on the diesel engine.

Zhang Fangqing's rice field pumped water, and Changgui suffered a slight loss. Zhang Fangqing's rice field is seriously leaking, and the pumping time is naturally much longer.

There is Zhang Fangqing's family who opened this Zhang, and many people in the village can't sit still. If you don't shout Changgui pumping, the seedlings are really about to be saved.

And after the rice is harvested, we will soon plough the fields and plant the seedlings. Rice paddies should also be pumped.

Changgui began to get busy, pumping water all day long.

Because of Changgui's pumping machine, the seedlings in Xuefeng Village have not suffered too serious losses.

However, most people do not want to pump water from the rice fields yet. The paddy fields have dried up, making it easier to harvest early rice. The rice harvested is also very dry, and one or two suns can meet the requirements.

Moreover, most people still have illusions about the reservoir. Water can think of such a large reservoir, there is no water to release!

Changfu, Zhang Baocheng and others will come over every day to help replace Changgui so that Changgui can rest.

In fact, Changgui is not very tired, when pumping water, he just finds a shady place next to the pump. He can also estimate how long it will take to pump a large area of a field now. Therefore, there is no worry that others will do anything in front of you.

There are indeed those who are greedy and cheap, secretly digging up a little bit of the field, so that the water in the seedling field can leak out and irrigate to other rice fields.

Zhang Changfu would help Changgui to keep an eye on it from time to time, and as a result, he found this lack of morality.

scolded the family severely, and also charged more money. The family was ashamed and paid honestly. In this era, it is very easy to die by doing such a thing. The whole village looks down on you.

The money collected by Changgui is rarely the total money, it is all a dime, and there are a lot of cents.

In this way, pumping water for a few more days. Then it stopped again.

Every household is about to start harvesting early rice, and Changgui also has to harvest early rice.

Wang Yanhu proposed that several families help Changgui harvest the rice and plant the seedlings first: "I estimate that in a few days, the people of our brigade will come to call Changgui to pump water." Many people's seedlings are almost past the seedling stage, and if they don't plant them again, the seedlings will all be discarded. ”

"Then for sure, the whole brigade will be expensive this pumping machine. The back must be too busy. Ma Yongxing said.

The rice fields of Changgui's family are scattered in all corners of Xuefengzhai Village, the nearest one is next to the house, and the farthest is two or three miles away. Think about it, you have to carry the rice from the rice fields so far away, load by load.

If it weren't for the help of Zhang Baocheng and others, Changgui would really be nerve-wracking.

Changgui's rice field is usually not taken care of, so the yield is very low, and an acre of land receives an average of 500 catties per acre. That's a lot of production.

After the hybrid rice came out, the yield of conventional rice increased a lot.

How can other people's families collect seven or eight catties per mu. The rice fields of Changgui's family are even a little worse than the average.

"Changgui, it's thanks to you that you planted the rice like this. Otherwise, if you move back to this paddy, you will grasp the swelling of your shoulders. Ma Yongxing said with a smile.

Ma Yongxing wore a white vest full of holes today.

The skin on his body has been tanned and oily.

The burden of more than 100 pounds was really easy on his shoulders.

Changgui was a little embarrassed by Ma Yongxing's "praise". Whether it's the drunkard father or himself, he has no talent in farming. It is estimated that even if he is reborn in time for the Chinese New Year, this year's early rice, his performance will not be much better than that of his drunkard father.

There are many people and great strength, and they have a few acres of rice fields, and they all take back their homes in one day. Then, in the afternoon of the same day, all the seedlings were planted. Of course, it was dark, and I did it again.

The next day, several people went to help Zhang Yuanhe's family harvest rice and plant late rice.

So far, the whole village has planted late rice seedlings in Changgui's house and Zhang Yuanhe's house.
