The second team has 689 acres of land on the surface, and the specific amount is now, not to mention that the working group does not know, I am afraid that even Wang Lianshun and Wang Fugui can't say clearly.

After all, half an acre of barren land is opened in the corners of a piece of land, and there are twenty or thirty acres more when calculated. These are called "black lands", and in principle, there is no need to pay for food.

It's just that in previous years, Zhao Jianhai stared at him to death, and he had to wait for him to arrive at the scene before he could distribute the grain. Even if Wang Lianshun wants to give more points to the members, there is nothing he can do, at most he will put some thought into the grain reserves.

After visiting Liujiawan last year, he began to use his brain to change his thinking. The effect is very significant, and now although the members of the second team do not eat well, at least there is no famine in the spring.

In the event of a major drought this year, Wang Lianshun wanted to prepare more food for everyone. This method can only be taken for the sake of safety. He believed that even if Bai Mingchuan knew, he would turn a blind eye.

Of course, Wang Lianshun has a bottom line in doing things, and he will not embarrass the other party. The public grain that should be paid must be paid, but the surplus grain must be sold.

Really speaking, the performance of the second team is already okay, and many production teams have not even completed this year's public grain.

Wang Manyin heard a few days ago that after the delivery in Ishikawa Village opposite, each person was given three catties of wheat, which was ground into noodles, which was estimated to be enough for a family to eat a few meals of noodles.

"How many pounds do we have?" Wang Manyin had just returned to the cave with the cloth bag, and the orchid had already asked eagerly.

It is rare for the production team to share fine grain, and she is still very concerned.

"It's about five catties per person, there should be seventeen or eighteen catties, don't talk nonsense when you go out." Wang Manyin couldn't help but admonish.

If this thing is really big, it will definitely be enough for Wang Lianshun to drink a pot.

"I'm not stupid," the orchid glanced white, full of charm.

Wang Manyin became hot again.

What's that...... Nowadays, in rural areas, not to mention TV and mobile phones, most people don't even have a radio. In the evening, except for the little thing on the kang, I really couldn't find any other activities.

There is a reason why there are so many children in each family in this era......

With the rooster crowing and a new day coming.

Opening the kiln door, Wang Manyin felt refreshed.

It's been a June and a half day, and it's already hot and dry in the morning.

He added a few scoops of water to the cauldron, put in two eggs, and started to cook on the fire.

When the meal was almost ready, the orchid also got up. After she hurriedly freshened up, she took a broom to clean up the yardside.

Wang Manyin carried two buckets and went to the village to fetch water.

The sun rises and the sun sets.

His life is no different from other members, and if he wants to say that he has, he may eat better.

When he arrived home, Wang Manyin saw four or five people standing in the consignment point, all of whom came to buy and sell things while it was cool.

He took over and asked Orchid to go to dinner next door, don't wait for a while to go to work late.

"In order to vigorously develop the broadcasting industry, according to the requirements of the above, we in the Shibijie Commune are planning to connect the radio to every village in the near future, so that most of the members can hear the ......."

"Next, there will be three broadcasts a day, once in the morning, once in the afternoon, and once in the evening, mainly during the time when everyone is eating. With the radio cassette, members can eat and listen to the radio at home. There's news, and there's songs and operas, think about it......

At the club meeting, Bai Mingchuan talked about the benefits of installing cable broadcasting boxes. This is the latest task assigned by the commune, and every village will be broadcast this year.

Hearing this, the members below couldn't sit still. With a little excitement on their faces, they began to mutter.

To say that radio is a really good thing, it is much more interesting than just reading newspapers. Members don't have to go out of the village to learn a lot of things, and they can also add a bit of cultural color to the simple and boring life.

So every night after dinner, many people would run to the cave where the educated youths lived to listen to the radio broadcast. Some addicted people can keep hearing the show end completely.

If you have one at home, you don't have to run back and forth.

Not to mention them, even Wang Manyin was a little moved. Although there is nothing to listen to on the radio, there is some information that can be learned.

At this time, Wang Lianshun suddenly raised his voice and asked, "Officer Bai, do you want money for the broadcast box?" ”

The chatter suddenly stopped.

Yes, they were too happy too early to know whether to pay or not.

If you don't pay for nothing, of course, everyone is willing to install. If you charge for it, it's definitely a different story...... You know, the radio that the educated youth bought costs dozens of yuan.

"I have already learned from the commune about the collection of money. The installation of the broadcasting box required the introduction of the radio line from the commune, as well as the installation of porcelain bottles and electric poles, which cost about 100 yuan. If members want to install it, they can buy a separate broadcast box for five dollars each. In addition, the radio line from the village to the home is also purchased by yourself...... After the broadcast is opened, it will be charged on a monthly basis, two cents a month! ”

Yes, after listening to Officer Bai's speech, almost everyone dispelled their thoughts.

After all this miscellaneous calculation, ten yuan may not be enough.

With so much money, isn't it good to tear cloth and make a few new sets of clothes for the children at home? In addition, I have to pay 2 cents a month for listening fees, and I can buy more than a pound of salty salt.

This year, many families in the village began to weave corn husks, and they had a little spare money on hand. But no one wants to install a radio box, and you can't eat it.

For the scene in front of him, Bai Mingchuan had expected it and didn't say much. Normally, unless the commune insisted that it must be done, he usually only held a meeting to discuss the rest of the things, so that people could not find fault with them.

In fact, he also thinks that it is enough for the village to have loudspeakers. It's more important to fill your stomach than to let your family have a radio box. Standing in a small mountain village and thinking about the whole world is not something that everyone can do.

After the meeting, everyone left in twos and threes.

Wang Manyin and his family also hugged the small stone and hurried home.

The wind has not moved at all tonight, and the weather is very stuffy, and it looks like it may rain heavily at any time.

When they got home, they freshened up and got ready to go to bed, and who knew that the little one woke up one by one, churning and humming on the clay kang.

Orchid thought her son was hungry and hurriedly hugged and fed.

As a result, Xiaoshi was more energetic after eating and drinking, and he didn't feel sleepy at all, staring back and forth and turning his head to look around.

As soon as the oil lamp went out, the little one began to cry.

Wang Manyin had to re-light the oil lamp and let the orchid sleep, while he carried himself around the cave.

As the little stone grows day by day, it is now more and more difficult to coax.

Especially recently, he sleeps enough during the day, and he always has to make trouble at night. If you are carried around by an adult, it is fine, but when you put it on the kang and start to cry.

Howl a few times, and continue to cry if no one hugs you. Sometimes, it can be tossed until eleven o'clock.

In order to let the orchid rest well, the task of coaxing the child can only be handed over to Wang Manyin.

Fortunately, he is full of energy, and he doesn't feel like anything if he sleeps two hours a day. The good thing is that you can catch up on sleep at noon.

"Ahh......h

"Uh-oh...... Uh-oh......"

The little guy snorted, and Wang Manyin responded with a word, and it was a dialogue between father and son.

As he was talking, he heard several explosions outside the cave, followed by lightning flashing and dimming.

The wind was blowing, and the windows rattled.

Afraid that the sound would frighten the little stone, he deliberately hugged it in his arms.

Soon, the sound of crackling raindrops was heard.

***

It rained overnight and there was still a sporadic light rain in the morning.

Wang Manyin opened the door of the kiln, and immediately heard the sound of rushing water in his ears. Immediately, I saw a few fresh dead fish thrown on the ground of the mud pit in front of the door.

Four loaches, plus two crucian carp, had their heads crushed.

Rhubarb is usually not very interested in catching fish, and this should be the masterpiece of two cats.

Wang Manyin took off his shoes and walked barefoot to the edge of the field, and saw the turbid water rolling in the deep ditch below. The two cats were standing guard on the edge of the ditch, staring at the water with wide eyes.

Suddenly, one of them swung its claws out with a rapid swing, retracting like lightning after entering the water.

The next moment, there was already a crucian carp bouncing on the edge of the ditch.

Before the prey could enter the water and escape, the cat's paw fell again, ending the other party's life with a simple twist.

Seeing the master, this guy immediately grabbed the prey in his mouth and ran to show off excitedly.

Wang Manyin touched the cat's head as a sign of encouragement.

He had just quietly released a fish two nights ago, so there should be a lot of fish in the river now, and it is estimated that many people are already busy with their nets at this time.

But for Wang Manyin, cooking is more important. If you want to eat fish, there is a lot of space.

After putting a few fish aside, he started to make a fire and cook.

When the meal was ready, the rain finally stopped.

Wang Manyin was just about to start eating, when he heard an urgent shout from outside: "Is there anyone, is there anyone, is there anyone in the jar village, come out and save people!" Someone overboard! ”

Immediately after, the barking of rhubarb rang out.

Drowning? Save!

Wang Manyin stood up suddenly, and said to his aunt urgently: "You eat first, I'll go out and see what's going on?" ”

When he hurried to the edge of the field, he saw a big man covered in mud running wildly towards the village, constantly shouting and screaming.

On the dirt road, several figures stumbled towards them.

"Which village are you from, what's going on?" Wang Manyin hurriedly shouted.

Immediately, a person stopped and replied: "Dazhuang River Village, our village saw that the wheat field was washed into the river, help us save people!" ”

"Where can I get to the river?!" Someone asked in a hurry.

"Follow me!" As soon as he heard that someone really fell into the water, Wang Manyin dared to delay in the slightest.

He gave an explanation to the orchids in the house, and then led the people across the deep ditch and ran wildly in the direction of the east mountain pass.

On the way, Wang Manyin finally knew the whole story from these people.

Dazhuanghe Village was busy planting autumn crops during this time, so the wheat was not all planted, but a part of the grain was handed over to the public first, and the rest was temporarily piled up on the wheat field for people to watch at night.

Last night there was a sudden rainstorm, and the night watchman slept under the straw stack.

This wheat field is located on a flat land at the edge of the village, and it is reasonable to say that even if there is heavy rain and flash floods, it will be fine.

This year, Zhao Jianhai was transferred to Dazhuang River Village to be stationed. A few days after arriving in Dazhuanghe Village, he announced his long-awaited grand plan at the general meeting of the members: to build a medium-sized reservoir.

At the meeting, Zhao Jianhai said impassionedly: "After the construction is completed, it can not only add hundreds of acres of river land to Dazhuanghe Village, but also irrigate farmland in times of drought." ”

However, he was afraid of conflicts over water, so he did not dare to build directly on the main stream of the Dongla River, but chose a tributary small river ditch.

Before the start of construction, Zhao Jianhai did not invite water conservancy experts to inspect the site, and made a decision with a wave of his hand.

His eloquence is still very good, and the blueprint described successfully moved Ma Xingwang, the party secretary of Dazhuang River Village...... At first, the other party thought that the silt dam in Jarzi Village was presided over by Zhao Jianhai, so he fully supported it.

From the beginning of spring to the present, the members of Dazhuanghe Village have hardly been idle. In addition to planting crops, they spend most of their time busy silting up the dams, striving to turn the small river ditch into a rice grain river as soon as possible.

In order to speed up the progress, Zhao Jianhai also engaged in a "night battle infrastructure commando". During the day, let the members work for a day, and continue to fight at night, and shout the slogan "work hard and work hard at night, and strive for half a year's mountain and river changes".

Because of this, he angered the educated youths in Dazhuang River Village, and was secretly put wooden nails at the door of the cave.

When Zhao Jianhai went back to the house to sleep, he stepped on it and ended up in the hospital for more than half a month.

When he returned to the village again, he relented.

In addition, the earthen dam in Dazhuanghe Village has been repaired, so naturally he can't give up halfway, and Ma Xingwang can only support Zhao Jianhai to continue to work.

Hundreds of laborers in the village were busy for several months, and finally most of the earthen dam was repaired...... But I didn't expect a sudden rainstorm last night.

Where the earth dam was built, there was no water conservancy expert to design, and naturally there were many problems.

At dawn, the dam collapsed.

The wheat field in the village is located not far below the earthen dam. The sleeping spectators didn't have time to react, and were directly washed into the ditch by the raging flood.

Fortunately, the wheat straw stack also washed down.

The man was lying on a stack of wheat straw and shouting as he drifted near the village, finally alarming several of the members.

Immediately, everyone thought of various ways to salvage.

It's a pity that after the wheat straw stack washed into the main channel of the Dongla River, it drifted farther and farther. Several attempts were unsuccessful, so they could only follow and run downstream.

The person who ran into the jar village just now was Ma Xingwang, the party secretary of Dazhuang River Village.

After listening to the members' stories, Wang Manyin was speechless in his heart: In the end, it is Zhao Jianhai, and it will not stop at any time.

But saving people is important right now, and I don't have time to think about anything else.

Wang Manyin ran to the river with a few people, and saw a group of people pointing at the river from a distance.

Last night's torrential rain was not small, and the Dongla River, which used to be only two or three meters wide, has now reached twenty or thirty meters again.

In the heart of the river, a stack of wheat straw floats and flows slowly downstream. There were also people up there waving their hands and crying and shouting for help.

A broken baby watching on the shore saw Wang Manyin appear, and hurriedly spoke: "Uncle Manyin, look, someone is rushing down from above!" ”

Immediately, the people around him turned their heads and spoke.

"Manyin, let's save people......"

"yes, hurry up and think of a way,"

Wang Manyin replied casually: "It was the members of Dahezhuang Village who were washed into the water, and they came to save people......

As he spoke, he looked intently toward the center of the river.

On the Loess Plateau, wheat straw is generally not burned as firewood, but is stored as hay to feed livestock.

Therefore, the production team attaches great importance to it, and will find an old way to pile up wheat straw stacks. The whole process needs to be laid layer by layer, and constantly compacted with wooden branches.

This kind of wheat straw stack is particularly porcelain after being piled up, and it takes a lot of effort to pull out the wheat straw, and even in heavy rain, it cannot be wet and mildewed.

Because of this, that member can lie on the top for so long.

However, as it is washed away by the flood, the straw stacks will fall apart sooner or later. The more it is delayed, the more dangerous it becomes, and we must find a way to get the other party ashore as soon as possible.
