Chapter 118 Repair of the Dam
Because these things were planned by Shen Jingcheng and the others a long time ago, and they have been recorded one by one, this matter is carried out in an orderly manner, and even some of the obstacles that the few people imagined have not encountered at all.
They didn't know that it wasn't that no one wanted to make trouble during this period, but before the chaos started, they were suppressed by the people who had watched Shen Jingcheng inspect the river embankment in the past six months.
It's good that the county master is really doing things, but because the county master didn't flee this year like in previous years, they still have an extra harvest this year.
Besides, the county magistrate has no land here, and whether the dam is repaired or not will not cause any harm to the people, but it is their common people, after the dam is repaired, they can farm well, and they don't have to flee every year.
In this way, Shen Jingcheng's plan unexpectedly went on so smoothly, just like Gu Jin said, work is work, and it is necessary to ensure that people can eat hot food and drink hot water, so as not to let people get sick and get cold, not to mention slowing down the progress of dam repair, and it may also cause public resentment.
So, this year, along the embankment of Yuhe County, there is a little more nest, every morning before dawn someone began to light a fire to cook, at the beginning of the day the people have eaten and drunk enough, began to dig the soil of the digging, ramming the ramming, the stonemasons knocking and beating, the craftsmen tightly fit the stone to fill the gaps.
And this year, when the food brought by the government was first accepted by the government and said that they would cook in a unified manner, they were still worried that their own food would be embezzled.
As a result, the government was full of cooks, and you could eat as much as you wanted, which completely exceeded the amount of food they originally brought.
That's not all, every morning and evening, no matter what the government does to eat, it will make several large pots of hot salty oil soup mixed with ginger shreds, and there is no salty soup at noon, it is hot ginger water, which people can drink at any time and go to play at any time.
In this way, people work for a day to survive, not even the slightest chill can not be felt, sleep hot at night, work during the day until sweating, not to mention the cold and hunger, where you feel cold in a day, you can bear it.
Eat well, sleep well, except for a little tired from work, people have not enjoyed such a life at home all these years.
In addition, I heard that these ginger shreds were grown by their county master, and they were not bought by the county at all, just to be able to protect them from the cold and not let them get the cold, and people suddenly had an indescribable taste in their hearts.
Isn't this county master stupid, and he does such a money-losing business?
But while thinking like this, they also inexplicably revered the county master, and they worked harder one by one.
And He Dongzhi and Yuan Shulin, who were far away in the capital, saw such a scene when they asked for sick leave after pretending to cough for a few days after counting the days.
They felt as if these people were suffering from some kind of disease, and they were digging the soil without supervision, and carrying them to the embankment shoulder to shoulder, and they looked like they were fighting.
The two of them have been in the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Water for many years, and it is not that they have not supervised the construction of dams by ordinary people, and they have never seen such a hot scene.
After the two of them looked dumbfounded for a long time, they felt as if there was an extra fire in their bodies, burning and urging them to join in quickly.
In this way, after the two found Shen Jingcheng, they personally went down to guide the craftsmen to work, except for going home and sleeping with Shen Jingcheng at night, they almost never left the riverbank.
The busy days did not help but feel that time was flying, and the embankment was almost immediately raised, until the time of the wax moon, the embankment of nearly two miles of land had been largely completed.
He Dongzhi and Yuan Shulin looked at the long embankment, and they couldn't believe their eyes.
That's it? Such a complex curved embankment, these people did it like this?
Whether you believe it or not, facts are facts.
When they returned to Beijing, both of them were in a trance, and when the two were about to leave, Gu Jin prepared some New Year's gifts for them to take away.
For these things, the two felt a little weak, after all, they didn't feel that they had contributed so much.
But Gu Jin and Shen Jingcheng didn't think so.
If it weren't for these two people, how would they know how much impact the Yellow River bend is undergoing? And how do you know what kind of bend can slow down the impact of the flood? And what kind of embankment should be built?
So, the two of them actually don't take much of these things.
After the two left, people worked for more than half a month, and the embankment was finally completed, and it was about to celebrate the New Year, so Shen Jingcheng asked people to go back to their homes for the New Year, and they came again on the eighth day of the new year to continue to strengthen the embankments in other river sections.
People returned home happy, and the women of every family almost blinded themselves.
In previous years, these people came back from forced labor, and which of them was not yellow-faced and thin-skinned, and they lived like beggars. It's good now, even if it's full of red light, they are still strong and strong, and some people have even gained weight.
Are they going to serve in forced labor, or are they going to recuperate?
But surprise is surprise, they are also very happy that their men are back intact.
So the women of the family immediately began to cook on the fire to welcome their return.
From the beginning of the construction of the embankment, Shen Jingcheng almost left when Xiao Youping didn't wake up, and he didn't come back until he slept at night, he saw Xiao Youping every day, but Xiao Youping didn't see him much.
Yes, when Xiao Youping saw a stranger sleeping next to him on this day, he slapped him in the face.
Shen Jingcheng suddenly opened his eyes when he was dumped, and when he saw that it was this little cub, he immediately reached out and dragged him into his bed.
"Ahh......hh
"Ping'er is good, he's a father." Gu Jin looked at the two of them sideways, his eyebrows and eyes crooked with a smile.
"Daddy." Xiao Youping subconsciously repeated Gu Jin's words, and then stretched out his little paws towards Fu Jin: "A-Niang, A-Niang." ”
Recently, he has begun to babble, and the first thing he will know is the word father, and then Auntie.
Although he didn't know what Daddy meant, he knew that A-Niang was Gu Jin.
"Hey, do you want to pee?" Gu Jin asked him with a smile.
"Pee." Xiao Youping repeated unconsciously.
When Gu Jin heard this, he didn't care if he was real or fake, he immediately got up and put on his clothes, and then went to the kang foot to find the clothes that Xiao Youping was hot and put them on.
"After dinner, let's go to the street to buy some red paper and write couplets, shall we?" Shen Jingcheng looked at Gu Jin, who was dressing Xiao Youping, and his eyes were extremely narrow.
"Mr. bought it two days ago, and in the past two days, I have to cut red paper with Mr. when I have time, and now I only have to write couplets." Gu Jin replied while dressing Xiao Youping.
"Then let's go write couplets together later, these days when I am busy repairing the embankment, most of the things in the yamen are handled by my husband, and it is time for him to rest."
"Okay, then after dinner, I asked Ah Xiu to look at Ping'er first, this kid has been wanting to leave recently, and Mr. can't look at him."
"Okay." Shen Jingcheng nodded.
Gu Jin had already dressed Xiao Youping at this time, and he went to the next room to pee on his Xiao Gong bucket with him.
And Shen Jingcheng also hurriedly put on his clothes and began to light a fire, the temperature here is about the same as that of Qingzhou Mansion in winter, and even if the weather in Layue is not splashed into ice, it can make people shiver.
Because the Chinese New Year was coming soon, there was almost nothing to do in the yamen, and after the meal, Gu Jin asked Gu Xiu to take care of Xiao Youping first, and then went to Jiang Zhengshu with Shen Jingcheng to write couplets.
They have to write together with Shen Jia Ao in Shenjia Village, but they are not old or young.
Gu Jin and Shen Jingcheng were busy here, and far away in a small village next door to Qingshan County, Qingzhou Prefecture, a man suddenly screamed in shock.
"What? She wants to reconcile? ”
