Rebirth in Prosperous Era

Chapter 137 Steelmaking is really about to begin!

There were fifty or sixty villagers around, and they had incomprehensible expressions when they saw Yao Erhu's body. Everyone was dejected, saying that it was bad luck to encounter such a thing. If it weren't for Yao Weimin's status as captain, he would have run away.

Fan Shuli, who was in charge of the burial affairs, frowned. It was obviously his first time encountering this kind of thing and he had little experience. He looked in Zhuangzi's direction from time to time.

"We were all in a daze. We asked a few more people to help pick up tools on the way. The key is that those two stools cannot be missing. The other people have to sort out the way up the mountain again."

The two stools are indispensable both in terms of meaning and use. Otherwise, there will be no room to re-bind the coffin. Nowadays, the funeral process has been simplified a lot. Going forward a few decades, this would have been a big scene.

"Coming, coming, I saw their figures."

A villager shouted, and everyone looked in the direction of Zhuangzi. Sure enough, they saw more than 20 figures, holding various tools, and they rushed forward one after another. The ones at the end of the team were Yao Gucheng and Yao Weiguo's mother-in-law, Chen Dongzhu. .

The latter's heart-wrenching cries could be heard from afar. It was enough for a son with such a thing.

"Erhu, why are you so stupid!"

When they arrived next to Yao Erhu's body, Chen Dongzhu's crying became louder. He wanted to go forward to check, but was stopped by someone. The matter was already messy enough, and he was worried about causing trouble again.

Everyone started to work, two long benches were set up, the coffin bottom was placed on top first, and then reinstalled piece by piece.

Yao Weiguo's funeral was carried out in an orderly manner, but Yao Erhu was embarrassed. He was a suspected criminal and had to be inspected by the police. He was also waiting for Yao Gucheng to say whether he should be put into a coffin and buried.

"Please, please run an errand and go to the police station!"

Yao Gucheng looked sad and glanced at his eldest daughter-in-law who had fainted. Her expression was desolate. In just two days, she had given away white hair and black hair. Most people really couldn't bear it.

When the police came over to confirm, it was already afternoon, so they dug a pit in the row in front of Yao Weiguo's cemetery. The terrain here was slightly lower to comply with etiquette. Boards were placed in the pit, and after the people were put on it, a pile of earth was built. A small hill.

Li Wenkui looked at the sky and saw that there was still some time before dark. He returned to the cave to clean up the weeds in the small basin. He returned home before dark and went to the machinery factory to work all night.

When I walked out of the machinery factory, the sky was already brightening. I stretched out in the morning light. The cool breeze was blowing. It was another beautiful day. A beautiful figure walked in the distance.

"Kuizi, if you stay up all night every day and your body can't bear it, you can't come over tonight no matter what."

Behind him, Sun Guosheng, who had just walked out of the factory gate, chuckled and said, "Don't worry, I will return Kuizi to you tonight. We won't torment him anymore, and let you torment him. Haha."

"Xiao Kui's body is that of a calf. We are not married yet. Where does he put all his energy? Is he feeling distressed now?"

"Okay, okay, it's okay. It's just a small thing for me when I'm young. Are there any production activities in the village today?"

Pulling the blushing Fan Jingqiu back towards the village, she changed the subject.

"I'm still carrying water to irrigate the fields, but I just passed by the Baihe River and it has stopped flowing. I don't know what to do. Uncle Zhou has already led the security team to go upstream to check. My father was called to the commune for a meeting early in the morning. "

Yesterday I could barely scoop out water with a ladle, but today the water flow was completely cut off. Hundreds of acres of land were not irrigated. This early disaster was really brought forward.

I can help myself. There is enough water in the space now, but it is impossible to pour it out like this. It is okay to put it in Zhuangzi's pond. Let's take a look first.

"The other thing is that Zhuangzi is planning to build a simple large canteen. Now there is not enough space for eating."

There are about [-] people in Qinghua Village. There must be insufficient space in the original school, but for the time being, it is just a matter of digging piles and digging holes. The people in Qinghua Village should be more active.

"Today I will take you to my base in the back mountain. There is also work to be done over there to replant. You go back and prepare first."

"Really? Today you are finally willing to tell us the place, Li Dazhao!"

"Isn't this a matter of time?"

<divclass="contentadv">"No, you want us to work! It's nice to think about it, but we won't go."

"You're not going! Then my little sister and I can just go. You won't be able to do much work anyway."

"Who do you look down on?"

"Oh, don't do anything, please don't twist your waist from now on, okay?"

After a noisy journey back home, the whole family got up and went to the village headquarters after breakfast.

This is the time that was set yesterday. Now that the drought is serious, we can't procrastinate as before. If the wheat is poured with more water, the yield will increase. Everyone is very conscious of this.

"The Baihe River has stopped flowing, and we have only watered more than 30 acres of land in two days. What will happen to the rest?"

"Looking at the weather, it probably won't rain!"

"Forget about watering the ground, we will run out of domestic water in two days!"

"No, there are only five wells left in Zhuangzi that still have water."

"You are wrong. The well in Lao Liu's house ran out of water yesterday, and now only four wells have water."

"This is going to be a major drought, God please!"

"Everyone, be quiet. There is no water in the Baihe River for the time being. Let's go to the kitchen today. We don't need too many people for the preliminary work. Those who are willing to go can sign up here with Lao Ye."

Yao Weimin walked out of the conference room, followed by Zhou Qingcheng who rushed back, interrupting everyone's discussion.

"Old Yao, wait, there are important instructions from above, everyone, don't leave in a hurry."

Fan Yunzhang hurriedly walked in, passed through the crowd, and walked onto the stage. He was followed by three people. The leader was a cadre in formal clothes who was in his 40s. The other two were a man and a woman, both in their 20s. , followed closely behind with documents in hand.

Everyone's eyes followed their figures, and they felt strange. They had never seen Fan Yunzhang look so anxious, and he had never seen such an expression when he faced Li Wenkui recently.

The four people introduced each other on the stage. Li Wenkui heard clearly that this was the steelmaking specialist named Tong who was sent from above. After a brief communication with a few people, Commissioner Tong came to the stage and subconsciously fished it out. I'm looking for a microphone!

“Folks, my surname is Tong, you can call me Commissioner Tong from now on.

Here I would like to inform everyone about a situation first. Since the steelmaking instructions were issued in September, the response from our Miyun County side has been very unpositive, which has made the leaders very dissatisfied.

At this meeting, we were also criticized by name, saying that we did not respond to the country’s call and were holding the country back, dragging down the entire economic construction by a large margin.The leader was so scolded that he couldn't hold his head up. "

Commissioner Tong unbuttoned his collar, looked at the reaction of the crowd below, and spoke again slowly.

“Since the founding of the new society, when did our Miyun County become a drag on others?

When people point their noses at us and accuse us of being incompetent and not wanting to contribute to the new society, I am the first to express my dissatisfaction.

Thinking of those battles before the founding of the new society, we in Miyun County were the most active. We were at the forefront of the entire Sijiu City in terms of supplies, troops, and money. Now we cannot lag behind...

If we catch up with Yingjiang and The Sun Never Sets, we Miyun people will not fall behind, don’t you think? "

Li Wenkui stood quietly in the crowd, sighing in his heart that it was really about to begin!
