Lucky Wife at 50s

That night, Qi Yuanhua brought back a message.

The Victory Production Brigade will repair the reservoir together with the two next-door brigades.

"Fix the reservoir?" Everyone was slightly surprised.

Mainly because none of them had experience in this area, so when they heard the news suddenly, everyone was a little stunned.

Shen Yuerong was curious: "Is there a reservoir near our village?"

"Yes, it's about half an hour's walk from our village. Isn't there a small river in our village? That small river is connected to the reservoir. Because there are three brigades on the path of the small river, the task of repairing the reservoir is assigned to us. Three teams are in charge."

After more than a month of work, Qi Yuanhua has learned a lot and has become a lot during this time. He is no longer the mentality of only caring about one-third of his own land.

After all, he is a commune cadre, so he naturally needs to know more about the situation of the following brigades, otherwise some work will not be easy to carry out.

He is no longer the Qi Yuanhua who just returned to the village, who doesn't know anything and can't do anything.

"Ah, I just found out now, I haven't heard of it before." Shen Yuerong was stunned, of course, the main reason was that she hadn't been out of the village very much and didn't pay attention to the surrounding villages.

Qi Jun asked anxiously, "Father, does every family have to go to this reservoir?"

Qin Tianru also wanted to know this question very much, but she was not as anxious as Qi Jun, and she waited quietly for the following.

Qi Yuanhua replied unhurriedly: "Yes, building the reservoir is a major event, and each family should at least send one person to represent it. However, the work points for repairing the reservoir are very high, and it is worth two days of work in the team. already."

He also learned today that the repair of the reservoir is one of the major project activities. Before the midsummer every year, the reservoir will be repaired once to ensure that there are no problems with the embankment of the reservoir.

Because there is a lot of rain in summer, and it is in a period of high waterlogging, if it is not consolidated and repaired, it will easily wash out the reservoir and cause waterlogging in the surrounding villages.

Therefore, it is organized almost once a year at this time, but because repairing the reservoir is a very hard task, carrying and transporting stones is not a big deal, at most it is buying and selling strength.

The hardest and most annoying thing is to work under the scorching sun.

Therefore, at the very beginning, even though many people covet high work points, most people are still unwilling, as long as the family does not run out of food, they are unwilling to suffer that crime.

In the end, there was no other way before the order was issued, and each family had to send a labor force.

"Then what should we do? We can't let Xiaojun go, can we?"

After hearing about it, Shen Yuerong was a little worried about her younger son. After all, the men in the family and Ahan both worked, so naturally they didn't need to participate in the team's work.

This kind of manual work is obviously the work of men. Of course, some families also make women in the family sell manual work in order to earn work points.

Qi Han, who has been quiet all the time, directly seized the key points and asked: "Dad, when will this task start? How long will it take? What types of work are there when the scene arrives?"

Qi Yuanhua replied neatly: "I said at the meeting today that tomorrow I will have several brigades to prepare. It will take about ten days to start construction from the day after tomorrow. As for the division of labor on site, I don't know much about it. This seems to be the team leader. to distribute."

"Well, okay, I'll go take a look the day after tomorrow. Our family will only send Xiaojun. I don't think the brigade will arrange too heavy work for him."

Qi Han can stay at home for three days, and the day after tomorrow is just the last day. The work of repairing the reservoir is not easy, so he needs to place his younger brother properly before leaving home.

"With your cousin here, I believe Xiaojun will not suffer." Qi Yuanhua was very relieved.

"." Qi Jun wanted to cry without tears.

Why can't good things come to him, but hard work and hard work are his business?

Hey, the status of the family is too low, he is being squeezed by the collective.

Life is too hard.

Qi Qing patted her little brother on the shoulder sympathetically, and encouraged, "Little brother, you can do it."

"." Qi Jun's face was full of introspection, no, he can't!

Qin Tianru was amused when he saw his younger brother's unlovable appearance, "Xiao Jun, my sister-in-law will cook you delicious food every day."

"." Qi Jun frowned, feeling a little comforted in his heart.

——

Sure enough, the next day, when the village notified the news that the reservoir was going to be built, the entire brigade wailed!

Originally, during this period of time, everyone's life was very difficult. Three meals a day became two meals. In order to save food, everyone tried to save energy so as not to get hungry too fast.

When there was no famine in previous years, some people were willing to go for high work points, but this year’s situation is different, no matter how much high work points you earn, it’s not worth it, but consumes more energy.

"Don't worry, this year's policy has changed. In addition to getting high work points, everyone can also get three extra steamed buns."

Qi Zhongkang deliberately tempered everyone's temper. The reason why he didn't make it clear at one time in advance was to give everyone a comparison in their hearts, and it would be easier to accept the matter of building the reservoir later.

Repairing the reservoir is a major event for the entire commune and cannot be avoided, so what he can do is try to adjust everyone's mentality as much as possible.

"real or fake?"

"Captain, is it true that everyone can get three steamed buns when building the reservoir this year?"

"The whole family goes, does everyone have a share?"

"Captain, are these coarse grain buns or white flour buns?"

"Hey, it's good to have thick-faced steamed buns, I said Sangozi, you are dreaming, and white-faced steamed buns~"

"That's right, I'm content with the thick noodles and steamed buns."

For a time, everyone at the scene began to make up their minds. Although the three steamed buns did not sound like much, the three steamed buns were also food.

Take the steamed buns home and cook them in the soup, isn't it just a pot of noodle soup, the whole family can drink half a bowl.

Qi Zhongkang: "The work points are calculated according to the head. Of course, this steamed bun is also distributed according to the head. This year's food shortage, it is naturally impossible to make white flour steamed buns."

"Head points, that's great!"

"I'm also happy with the thick noodles~"

"Our whole family signed up."

"Our family also signed up."

Because of the extra steamed buns as a subsidy, the people who signed up to repair the reservoir this year are extraordinarily active, but there are still certain requirements for choosing to repair the reservoir.

No one under the age of fourteen, no more than fifty-five years old, and no one who is disabled or weak.

However, the number of finalists was still higher than in previous years.

After hearing the request, Qi Jun was so angry that he beat his chest and feet. This reservoir has a grudge against him. According to the year, he just turned fourteen this year.

No matter how resentful and annoyed Qi Jun was in his heart, early the next morning, he still carried the farm tools honestly, followed his eldest brother and the army, and went to repair the reservoir angrily.

good night~
