There are large-scale projects, and naturally there are medium-sized and small-scale projects.

Medium-sized river works are generally organized by the provincial level, such as the irrigation canal in northern Jiangsu and the Huai River control are provincial-level projects, which are generally built by mobilizing the forces of the province, and the manpower and material resources are solved in the province.

This kind of time will not be too long, and the work will not be too far.

The smallest is naturally the county-level project, which is often referred to by locals as "picking embankments".

Generally, the county water conservancy bureau is responsible for presiding, and each commune (township) is managed in sections, and then implemented independently by the production brigade below.

In most cases, you don't need to go out with your luggage, you go home in the morning and go home in the evening, and if you are in a hurry and have a long time, you will also build a shack on the embankment for a short stay.

In addition, there are not too many machinery and materials, mainly relying on baskets, flat poles, shovels, and small carts to reinforce, heighten, and widen the embankment little by little.

Picking the embankment is heavy physical work, and basically only people between the ages of 18 and 45 will be selected to participate, and if there is a shortage of labor at home, the age will be relaxed to 16 to 50 years old, and in principle, women are not allowed.

But if there is really no man in the family, you can also take proper care of the woman to go up to the embankment to cook on the fire.

Why is everyone rushing to do such tiring work?

Of course, because of the high salary.

Later, some people on the Internet said that there was no work for the river workers, and they had to bring their own dry food, which was actually a big misunderstanding.

It can't be said that there is none, but not in this era.

Going forward, it was "hard labor" in the Blue Zone before liberation.

After that, the production team was disbanded and the work points were abolished, which was the period of misunderstanding.

In the 80s and 90s, the peasants contracted their own responsible fields and were responsible for their own profits and losses, but the stipulated "retention" could not be less, and the river work had to be completed.

At that time, there was no longer a division of work for Shanghe workers, but they could be recorded as "workers", which were valuable and could be deducted from "retention", that is, agricultural taxes.

Moreover, if it is a long-term project, the food will be arranged uniformly, and the grain and meat will be sent to the production team according to the human hair, and the production team will organize the fire head army to cook the rice.

If it is not arranged, let the farmers bring their own dry food, and this part of the subsidy will be converted into "work" and used to deduct "retention".

This kind of "hard labor" is different from the "hard labor" at your own expense before liberation.

In the memories of some post-80s and post-90s, their own adults brought their own food to work, and they didn't have a salary, so they thought it was free labor, but in fact, it was not the same thing at all.

And now to lift the embankment, under normal circumstances, a strong laborer can be counted as 12 points, the highest can even be counted as 15 points, even a woman who burns a fire can have 10 points.

Not to mention the higher work score, it also includes two meals.

Don't mention whether you eat well or not, you must at least ensure that you can eat enough. It's not okay to do this kind of heavy physical work without eating, and if it's serious, it will really kill people.

There is both work and free food to eat, in the eyes of the hungry older generation, it is naturally a big difference, so it is no wonder that everyone wants to go to work.

If you go far away, the kind with a limited number of places, in order to compete for places, there will even be some small contradictions.

Captain Zhang told an interesting story.

Once when I went out to work on the river, a production team in the Qingshan Commune next door allocated manpower, and it was determined that there was one person in the family, but there were only women in one of the families, and the man went to the border branch, and his woman was reluctant to earn the opportunity to earn work, so he insisted on going, so the captain asked him, "We are all men, where did you go to sleep?" ”

The woman was not easy to fool, and immediately shouted, "Is it okay to burrow into your bed and cover your feet?" ”

It was a burst of laughter.

The captain had no choice but to agree to let her follow, but he didn't arrange heavy work for her, so he let her be a "firehead" and slept in the makeshift kitchen.

This shows that the peasants now attach great importance to this work.

The division of these work is not from the production team, but the higher-level department settles with the production team, either directly allocating funds and materials, or using them to offset the tasks handed over by the production team, in short, it will not fall on the heads of the members to share.

Although it is not excluded that the grassroots cadres in some places are up and down and intercept them, in general, in the eyes of the members, picking up the embankment is a good thing that is both hard and happy.

It's no wonder that when I was having dinner a few days ago, someone took the initiative to ask Captain Yang, is there any work to pick up the embankment this year?

……

Chen Fan sat in the smoky office, dizzily listening to the four leaders and me, talking about the things of Shanghe Gong, combined with what his grandfather said when he was a child, and finally had a general idea of this work.

After figuring out the situation, he really couldn't stand the second-hand smoke here, and it happened to be almost time to stop broadcasting, when he was ready to say hello and go out.

At this time, Secretary Yang didn't know what he was thinking, and suddenly had an idea, and said to Chen Fan, "Xiao Chen, do you know how to write a press release?" ”

Chen Fan, (◎_◎)? "Huh?"

Before he could react, Captain Zhang immediately understood what Secretary Yang meant, immediately coughed dryly, and said with a pleasant face,

"Although this embankment is only a small project, it is also a great event in the overall situation. Xiao Chen, if you have this ability, you might as well give it a try and write a few press releases for the members of our team.

It would be an honor if we were selected by the commune's radio station, and if we didn't get selected, it didn't matter, we could broadcast it on our own radio station. ”

When Ye Shubao next to him heard this, he immediately continued his words and said, "In the past, every year when the embankment was picked, the county radio station would select some typical ones to report, and sometimes it would be sent to the daily newspaper of the prefectural party committee.

It's a pity, after so many years, even the bullshit Ganjia Village has been on the county radio once, but we have never been selected Lujiawan once. ”

Then looked at Chen Fan, "It doesn't matter if they don't choose us, we now have our own radio station, and you, a Wenqu star, are here,......"

Chen Fan was so frightened that he hurriedly waved his hand, "I'm not, I don't, don't talk nonsense." ”

Ye Shubao snorted, "Anyway, that's what it means, if the county can send it to the prefectural committee, then our production team can also send it to the commune, can the commune also send it to the county?"

As long as you write the press release, the rest is our business, the opportunity to make a name for Lujiawan is just around the corner, if you miss it, you have to wait for the next year, you must go to the top! ”

Chen Fan was stunned, you were still saying just now that today's embankment is a small project, and it is not worth mentioning. If you miss it now, you have to wait for the next year, should it change so quickly?

Hearing Ye Shubao's words, Xiao Liewen also joined the ranks of persuasion, "Whether it works or not, you always try it first, this is a matter related to collective honor, try it or not, it's not an attitude to do work." ”

Chen Fan, okay, this is all on the work attitude, what else can I say?

He had to smile wryly and said, "I haven't written this thing either, I can only say try to write it, if it doesn't write well,......"

Secretary Yang immediately raised his hand, "It has nothing to do with you if you don't write well, just these big bosses in our team don't even have the ability to try it, who is qualified to blame you?" ”

said that he took a puff of cigarette and grinned, "Didn't Lao Zhang say just now, the worst is the worst, it can also be broadcast in our own team, and the size is also an honor." ”

At this point, Chen Fan naturally no longer refused.

At this time, Captain Zhang laughed again, "Young man, do a good job, if your article can be selected by the commune, I will give you a certificate of merit, and let you be a correspondent." ”

Chen Fan grinned awkwardly.

I am already a broadcaster and a data clerk, and a correspondent, so I will simply call the three major staff members in the future.

But you don't raise your wages!
