Song Ling suddenly asked with concern: "Xiao Li, is the family okay now?" ”

Li Yuan knew that Song Ling was talking about Qinjiazhuang's hometown, so he shook his head and said, "The commune canteen, I guess it's going to be difficult." There's no food left......"

Li Xuemei was surprised: "How come? I read the newspaper a few days ago, and it said that this year is a bumper harvest year, how can there be no food? ”

The propaganda that the yield per mu is 10,000 catties or 30,000 catties, the corn is longer than the carriage, and the pumpkin is higher than the people.

But this year, the publicity from top to bottom is talking, and the photos are ......

Even the old gentleman who returned from overseas as the backbone of the nation wrote an article about how this kind of yield could theoretically be achieved......

How could simple ordinary people think that the photos are also fake......

Of course, it won't be long before most people wake up.

Li Yuan smiled helplessly and said, "Sister Xuemei, are you still ...... You don't want to think about the drought in the first half of the year. The reason why it was reported was that under the influence of the later general environment, the commune cadres shouted blindly and reported that the yield per mu was 30,000 catties. Okay, that's what people do...... No, people reduce tenfold to levy public rations. Even so, all the grain of the whole commune was requisitioned, and it was not enough.

But Qinjiazhuang is better, before my father was criticized, was dragged to the commune to be scolded, and bitten to death This year's drought, the yield per mu is less than 200 catties, which can be regarded as leaving some life-saving food for the brigade. After the autumn harvest, he led the whole village to dig wild vegetables, dry wild vegetables, fish, pickle fish, and hunt wild animals...... Relatively speaking, the situation is much better. Other Places...... Don't say it, it's bad. ”

Song Ling praised: "Your father is a good branch secretary. ”

Li Xuemei said with concern: "The people in your village are very grateful to him, right?" ”

Li Yuan smiled and said, "Thank you?" When he was dragged to the commune to be criticized before, many people in the village jumped up and down, trying to knock him down, but fortunately, he was scolded by the old people in the village for being honest. Recently, those people looked at other production teams, and then looked at the situation in Qinjiazhuang, and knew the stakes, so they all went to my house to compensate my father. My dad didn't say anything, he just organized people to dig the wells by hand and let them do some heavy work. ”

"Digging a kill well?"

Song Ling suddenly grasped the point and asked.

Li Yuan nodded and said: "My dad thinks that this year's drought has been in place for half a year, and it may not be better next year." If there is another drought, then it will be a big trouble. Therefore, he organized the members of the production team to use their free time after the autumn harvest to repair water conservancy. They also didn't expect to drill wells, and the country was not rich enough to send diesel engines and pumps to the production team.

Suppress the well, dig seven or eight meters down, and after opening up the water vein, you can draw water manually. The effect is definitely not comparable to the well, but it is better than not consuming fuel or electricity, and even the children at home can press. Bucket by bucket of watering, as long as the manpower is not endless, the water is endless, although the water is small, it is better than nothing. He probably explained the principle and needs of pressurized water wells.

Song Ling and Wang Yamei glanced at each other, and they both felt incredible!

Song Ling said loudly: "This is a great thing." ”

Although Li Xuemei didn't know why, she also sighed on the side: "Yuanzi, your family is full of capable people." ”

She didn't know that this idea was still given to her family by Li Yuan......

It was a great time, and the country was built from the ruins of poverty and whiteness.

But it was also an era of very rigid thinking.

The technology of pressurized water wells actually existed as early as the Song Dynasty, when it was still wooden.

But at the beginning of this century, in Shenghai, there were already iron pressurized water wells in use.

However, it was not until the late 70s and early 80s that large-scale circulation began in the vast rural areas, including the rural areas of Tianshan Province in western Xinjiang, where almost every household had a pressurized water well.

How advanced was the level of science and technology in the 70s than it is now?

Li Yuan can't draw a prize that can change the course of history, but he can still use some memory and common sense to do some practical things......

Song Ling held Li Yuan's hand and said, "Xiao Li, if your father's pressurized water well is successful, please be sure to tell me." Because it could save so many lives! ”

Pressurized water wells do not have high material requirements, and those-like earth steel refined this year may be able to be used.

If it really succeeds, it will be a great joy!

Li Yuan is sure that it is not a few decades ago, and the development and utilization of groundwater is basically at zero now.

Moreover, this is the first year of the major drought, and there was no shortage of water in previous years, and even if the groundwater level dropped, it did not drop much.

In July next year, there will be another major flood in the capital area, and the groundwater resources for the next two years will be enough.

Therefore, this pressurized water well is very likely to be built miraculously.

Even if you can't change the general trend of the drought, as long as you can earn a few more mouthfuls of life food for the people, it will be a great achievement!

Although Li Yuan has been just a flat-headed ordinary person in his two lives, the blood love among his compatriots is really not something to talk about casually.

He eats and drinks spicy food here, and so many compatriots outside are starving to death, and his heart is not like that......

With such a great achievement, Li Yuanyuan is worthy of the common people, after all, he is just a small common man.

Next, you can live your own little life with peace of mind.

This is a redemption for others and for oneself......

……

When Li Yuan returned to the courtyard, it was already half past seven in the evening.

Sure enough, there were no patients queuing, and the courtyard was much quieter today.

Li Yuan went to the third master's house first, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw Yan Bugui drinking a few peanuts and rice there, and he smiled and said, "The third master, so elegant." If you don't say it, you will live a good life, drinking wine and eating crispy peanuts...... Third master, sure enough, only you can help me. ”

Yan Bugui's heart was numb, he smiled bitterly, and said, "Yuanzi, look at your third master like this, twenty-seven yuan and five ...... in January."

"Gotta ......"

Before he finished complaining, Li Yuan stopped with a smile: "When you first worked, you took twenty-seven yuan and five to my letter, after so many years, you still put these twenty-seven yuan and five on hold?" I really don't borrow much this time, that's all! ”

Looking at Li Yuan's slap, the three mothers who came out of the back room blinked and said, "Wumao? ”

Yan Bu smiled angrily: "What are you talking about?" Genko, I'm ...... Alas, okay, five dollars is five dollars, but there is no more. Yuanzi, that's you, I won't borrow it from others! "After the five yuan is lent out, it's good to start working, Meizizi!

Yan Jiecheng hurriedly said: "Dad, Brother Yuanzi is talking about fifty!" ”

He felt that five yuan was still too little, and he couldn't take it, but fifty was a lot of certainty!

Li Yuan shook his slap and said, "No, it's five hundred." ”

Negative emotions from Yan Bugui, Wang Guizhi, Yan Jiecheng, Yan Jiefang, and Yan Jiekuang +188+288+488+588......

Li Yuan called out in his heart that he was a good guy, he stabbed the hornet's nest, how much he was hated.

I saw that Yan Bugui's head shook and threw out his tortoiseshell glasses, and said in a loud voice: "No, no, no, my family can't even afford to eat, where can I get five hundred yuan?" ”

Li Yuan didn't dwell on it, only sighed and said, "That's bad......"

The three mothers asked with concern: "Why do you suddenly want so much money?" ”

Li Yuan frowned and said: "The situation in the countryside is getting more and more difficult, and there are not even many hybrid noodles in the big pot of rice. There are too many people in my family, and I will soon have several more nephews and nieces. It doesn't matter if an adult is hungry, but how can a child be hungry? Besides, adults can't be hungry, otherwise they won't be able to feed their children without milk. I thought about borrowing some money to see if I could find a job in the factory. It's a matter of life! ”

Old Yan's family: "......"

This kid, did you predict it?

Yan Bugui's mouth was also bitter, and he didn't say anything about it, but asked: "Then why did you donate all the bride price and dowry price?" ”

Li Yuan sighed and lowered his voice: "Isn't it because Jia Zhang's love to buckle people's hats?" My family can't be poor and white, Jia Zhang's mouth is poisonous! Others don't know the risks, but you don't? Therefore, my family can't save money, and I don't want to save money.

How good is the radio, it's not comfortable to listen to it when you lie on the kang at home? Why do you want to show it to everyone?

Again, my family is a proletarian, and no one will give us a hat!

But now that my reputation is good, I don't have to worry about who will be bullied, and it's really difficult to use money!

The third master, or I will borrow 300 from the first uncle, 200 from the second uncle, and you will borrow ...... One hundred and fifteen is enough!

It is estimated that I can almost get a regular job, pull my fifth brother's family up, he has many children, it is best to eat commercial food, and the child will also give the ticket for milk substitute powder......"

Yan Bugui smiled bitterly: "Yuanzi, it's not that the three masters don't help you, I really don't!" ”

Li Yuan was silent for a while, and then said: "Cheng, the third master is a sincere person, if you say no, there will be no one, I will go to another place to see." I really can't do it, and I can't do it. My son and I will reduce our rations a little more and send two more mouthfuls of food home. ”

Hearing what he said miserable, the three mothers couldn't bear it, and said: "Yuanzi, it's too difficult for you, who can afford to drag dozens of mouthfuls alone?" If you really can't do it, go to your old father-in-law's house and ask for one. People pluck their hair and it's thicker than our legs, isn't it? ”

Li Yuan shook his head and said: "Three mothers, there are some things you don't know, but the three masters and Xie Cheng definitely understand." My son and I got married because we were in love with each other and were willing to form a leather partner. But I can't touch a penny of her family's money. This is a matter of principle and cannot be compromised. ”

The three mothers were stunned, but Yan Bugui nodded and praised: "Yuanzi is an understanding person, her family's money can indeed be less touched, so it is better not to touch it." ”

Yan Jiecheng also pretended to nod heavily and said, "Brother Yuanzi is right. ”

Li Yuan smiled and said, "It's okay." It's really irrelevant, just do your best. After a pause, in the Yan family's superficial admiration and middle-level sympathy, and some schadenfreude inside, he said again: "It's really not good, I'll bring my son to the third master's house for two meals, and the third master can't drive us away, right?" ”

Yan Bugui: "......"

It's broken, and it's been remembered again!
