Chapter 93 Addressing Water Scarcity
It seems that the first thing to be solved is the lack, and Song Qianqian has learned about this problem.
"Tuyere cloud adjustment" and "2 times tuyere plan", these cannot be realized now, and there is no money at all because of the poverty in this era.
It is better to dig water cellars to store water, and plant more trees to turn the desert into an oasis so that a large amount of water will not evaporate.
Don't blindly open up the wasteland, otherwise there will be a shortage of water, we must ensure that people have water, and livestock also need water, no matter how much food you want to grow, it will be useless without water.
Therefore, Song Qianqian wrote about the location of the water cellar, which must be in the place where the rainwater meets, and the cement should be plastered when digging the water cellar, so as to keep the water quality clean.
He also wrote about the source of water, don't blindly open up the wasteland, and there are ways to purify water, try to plant all wheat, and don't plant rice.
"This is my experience in writing, you can hand it over to the leader after reading it." After Song Qianqian finished speaking, she handed the paper to Ji Mufeng, and then went to the kitchen to make dinner.
"Mom, I'll help light the fire." Ji Yuanlin walked into the kitchen with corn stalks.
"Okay, let's eat noodles tonight and fry another egg each." After Song Qianqian finished speaking, she poured water into the pot to clean, she used tap water, and the space was very clean.
After washing, she scoops all the water into a bucket, which can be used to water the floor and flush the toilet.
The toilet is a squatting pit, Song Qianqian has seen that it is quite clean, and no one has lived in this courtyard before.
Ji Mufeng put it in his pocket after reading it, he planned to take it to the army tomorrow, and he could go to work with peace of mind after handing it in.
After a simple dinner, close the courtyard door and enter the space, they all took a shower, and the space was still comfortable.
"Daughter-in-law, don't you feel wronged?" Ji Mufeng put his arm around her and asked.
"Fortunately, as long as the family is neat, we live the same everywhere." Song Qianqian replied.
"Thank you, wife."
"Fools, we are the closest lovers."
The husband and wife are dependent on each other, and they also communicate with love, and their feelings are still like glue, and there is really no way to separate.
Early the next morning, the family got up early, Ji Mufeng took his son to practice boxing, Song Qianqian made breakfast in the kitchen, and Tangtang played Tai Chi in the yard.
After breakfast, Ji Mufeng ran to report to the army and handed over the note to the division commander by the way.
"Report to the chief, Ji Mufeng came to report."
"Come in, Captain Ji."
"This is written by my daughter-in-law, please take a closer look."
"Okay, you husband and wife are good!"
Soon, Ji Mufeng was taken to his office, and the division commander also called the leaders above.
Ji Mufeng cleaned the office, and then went to visit all parts of the army, he even carefully observed the canteen, and held a notebook in his hand to record which places needed to be rectified.
The farms here are only cattle, sheep and camels, and many poultry cannot be raised due to the lack of water.
This problem will be studied later, now there is no urgency to increase cattle and sheep, camels have no way to have space, but afforestation can be involved, and in the future, they will go to the edge of the desert.
Song Qianqian opened the courtyard door to carry water, there was Ji Yuanlin at home with sugar candy, she already knew the location of the well, and many people were queuing up at the well.
When Song Qianqian went over to line up, all the military wives looked at her, and everyone should be very curious.
"Are you new here?" A young military wife asked.
"Well, we just came yesterday." Song Qianqian replied politely.
"What is the position of your man?"
"Commander, where is your house?"
"Huh? The man in my family is the battalion commander. ”
"What's your name?"
"My name is Li Hongyu, what about you?"
"My name is Song Qianqian, and I have time to come to play at home."
"Okay, come to me if you have something."
Both of them felt that the other person was okay, and they chatted a few words before leaving, carrying water home to do housework.
Military wives are also very busy at home, some have to take their children to clean, some have to cook, wash clothes and grow vegetables, and some have to go out to work, and when they come back, they have to do housework and carry water.
In short, the life of a military wife is also very busy, and men have to worry about it when they go out on a mission, and the children in the family rely on military wives, which bear more than ordinary women.
"Son, I'll turn over the vegetable patch, and you make milk powder for sugar candy." Song Qianqian explained loudly.
"Okay, Mom." Ji Yuanlin agreed very happily.
It took three hours for Song Qianqian to turn over the vegetable patch, but fortunately she watered some water last night, otherwise the ground was too strong, and if you want to grow vegetables, you have to wait for tomorrow.
Song Qianqian is going to take some straw out, which will be used to burn the fire and cook, and then mix it into the soil to improve the soil, which can not only improve the soil quality but also prevent insects.
At noon, Song Qianqian's claypot rice in the space was put with sausages, barbecued pork and choy sum, and the sauce was added and mixed well, which tasted very good.
"Wow, the claypot rice is so fragrant!" Sugar candy people are small but like to eat good food.
"Mom, you've worked hard!" Ji Yuanlin also made a cup of milk powder for Song Qianqian.
"Baby, mommy is so happy to have you. Eat fast, hungry. After that, he poured juice for the two children.
Their living standards have not decreased, the children have saved water and have not wasted it, they wash their hands in basins instead of soap, and after washing, they pour them into buckets and take them out again, which is very economical to water the floor and flush the toilet.
To be honest, Song Qianqian was very relieved to see this scene, but no one taught them but they were very conscious.
Save water and eliminate waste!
In the afternoon, the mother and son took a nap, Song Qianqian began to write novels, Ji Yuanlin memorized words to read books, and Tangtang read tomb robbery notes.
The courtyard door was closed, no one came to knock on the door, they were doing well, and they planned to go out tomorrow to buy vegetables at the supply and marketing cooperative.
After Ji Mufeng finished eating, he deeply felt the poverty of the great northwest, and the soldiers were very happy eating vegetables, and they were very satisfied if they could eat a full stomach.
It seems that after going back, I still have to ask my daughter-in-law for advice, and the army must raise some poultry, and it is good not to eat chickens and eggs.
In the afternoon, in the office, Ji Mufeng began to write a report, he needed to improve the farm, and the training should also be strengthened.
In the evening, Song Qianqian cooked a pot of white porridge and steamed a large pot of white steamed buns, accompanied by spicy cabbage and shredded mustard, as well as beef sauce, which was particularly delicious.
"It's delicious, and the porridge cooked by my mother is very sticky." Sugar Candy is a little fancy.
"Well, whatever my daughter-in-law does, it's delicious." Ji Mufeng also praised.
"Mom, I want to study advanced mathematics, and I use it in many subjects." Ji Yuanlin said suddenly.
"Okay, no problem, Mom will start teaching you tomorrow." Song Qianqian likes studious children.
glanced at Tangtang and took out a few books related to fortune-telling to her, such as "Zhou Yi", "Destiny", "Water Mirror Divine Appearance", "Plum Blossom Easy Counting", "Dripping Heavenly Marrow", "Ziping Zhenquan", "Poor Tong Baojian", "Mai Shenxiang" and "Three Lives Tonghui".
"Thank you, Mom, I'll give it back to you when I'm done." After Sugar Candy finished speaking, she directly entered her space.
Ji Mufeng went to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, he did a lot of housework, and his daughter-in-law was also very tired, and she had to take care of the children every day, and she earned more money than him.
