Siheyuan: I Raised Ten Thousand Wild Boars
Chapter 155 Drought Relief
After the first few days of chaos, Song Chengye took a walk every day, reported the situation to his superiors, and then accepted invitations from sister units to have meals and tea. He lived a very comfortable life.
But the farm workers are miserable. They have heavy farm work every day, no oil or water to eat, and they can't pick fruits to fill their stomachs.
The first ones who couldn't stand it anymore were the people in the courtyard. They came to the farm not to be laborers, but to have enough food to eat. Now that things are going like this, they all want to leave.
"It's liberated, it's broad daylight, why don't we just go home? If we continue working like this, we don't know if we can go back alive!" Chen Weiming said weakly while lying on the grass, touching his hungry stomach.
"I can't take it anymore. I need to rest!" Yan Jiefang lay down on the ground and didn't want to get up.
When the people from the tree planting team saw that their captain had laid down, they all let the sheep go and took a rest.
"You are just too honest. Look what this is?" Liu Guangtian looked around with a sly look and found that they were all people from the courtyard house. Then he took out four big potatoes from his arms.
"Ah, Potato, how could you steal things in broad daylight? Give it back now!" shouted the eldest sister-in-law of the Xie family.
"Sister-in-law, don't shout. It's not just me. I saw Luo Yingxiong from the production department driving the machine to dig. He dug several loads at a time. I was just following behind and picking up a few." Liu Guangtian didn't care and collected some branches from the surroundings to prepare to stew and roast the potatoes.
"Really? I was wondering why they have been acting so secretive lately. Every time I go over there, they stare at me!" Chen Weiming suddenly realized.
"How about we go dig a few too?" asked a young man in the front yard.
Everyone looked at Yan Jiefang. It was because he was good at flattering that he became the deputy captain. When Zhao Yunlong left, he became the captain again.
"Let's go dig too. If we die, we'd rather die a well-fed death!" Yan Jiefang was originally afraid, but when he thought of the plain life at home, his desire overcame his reason.
When they heard what Yan Jiefang said, everyone picked up their shovels and rushed to a valley where the potatoes were planted late and had not yet been harvested.
"Sister-in-law Xie, are we going?" Qin Huairu asked anxiously.
All the young men ran away, leaving only a few girls. She also wanted to go, but was afraid of being held accountable.
"Let's go. We'll go too. What are we afraid of? Hundreds of people on the farm have been stolen. I don't believe he can kill us!" said the eldest sister-in-law of the Xie family domineeringly.
Qin Huairu's face was full of joy, and she quickly ran over with a bucket of water. This time, in addition to eating some herself, she also planned to take some back with her.
There is no dog on the farm now, so I'm hiding in my clothes. I don't believe you dare to touch me.
Song Chengye naturally didn't know about these things, and Qi Wei was now a little overwhelmed and couldn't take care of so many things.
Except for the two dust rains at the beginning of the month, there has been no rain since then. The newly planted sweet potato seedlings have to be watered, otherwise they will all dry up and die.
But the problem is that the water level of the big ponds in the fields has been dropping for a month and there is no water at all. To water the fields, we have to go to the river to fetch water, which is too far away. It is just a drop in the bucket and there is no time at all.
"What? No water? Then send someone to fetch water!"
"The water level in the river is very low. It will be very troublesome to fetch water. Besides, the farm has thousands of acres of land, and our limited manpower may not be enough!" Qi Wei said aggrievedly.
Well, you are really a loser, you can only go to the boss for help.
When Deputy Squad Leader Huang received a call from Song Chengye, he was furious.
"Li Guohua No. 200 can ensure the normal operation of the farm, why can't you?"
If this guy hadn't followed him for many years, he would have lost his temper long ago.
"Leader, Li Guohua was lucky. There was only drought for half a year last year, and then it rained. Who knew that it wouldn't rain when we took over this year! This farm, not to mention the thousands of acres of grain, has hundreds of acres of vegetable fields, which is also a big water consumer. I suspect that Li Guohua left so easily because he saw the disaster and couldn't bear it anymore on the farm!" Song Chengye explained.
Anyway, what he meant was that the farm is in a critical situation right now and there can be no delay, so leader, please stop asking so many questions.
"Don't use this as an excuse. It was because of the disaster that we took over the farm. How many more people do you need now?"
Deputy squad leader Huang felt like cursing now. He really didn't have enough manpower this time, so he chose such a waste.
"Well, another two hundred people will be enough. If that doesn't work, I can find some temporary workers nearby!" Song Chengye forgot to ask Qi Wei how many people he wanted, and just casually said a number.
"Okay, I'll give you another 200 good men, and bring you a few water pumps. You have to understand that many people are watching the farm now. If we make a mistake, they will definitely not let us go. Then neither you nor I can escape.
The superiors are paying much attention to the farm now, you must run the farm well and beautifully. As long as we get through this difficult period, it will be difficult for you and I not to make progress!"
As expected of Deputy Class Leader Huang, while scolding people, he never forgets to make promises so that Song Chengye would work wholeheartedly.
The next day, Deputy Squad Leader Huang dispatched more than 200 people from the department and subordinate units to the farm with water pumps. Song Chengye listened to Deputy Squad Leader Huang's chicken soup again, and like chicken blood, he personally led people to fight drought.
Just when Song Chengye was working so hard to fight the drought, something terrible happened again: something went wrong in the vegetable field on the farm.
After the first crop of vegetables planted by Li Guohua was eaten, the vegetables planted later, especially the cabbages, all became sick. The hearts of all the cabbages turned yellow, the outer leaves were wrinkled and deformed, and many of them had mosaic leaves.
"What? How do you manage the vegetable garden? It hasn't been long since such a big problem occurred?"
The anti-drought effect has been obvious in the past few days. Song Chengye had just returned from a brother unit after drinking at noon when he received this bad news.
"Director Song, now is not the time to be angry. We need to solve the problem quickly, otherwise there will be supply problems."
Qi Wei's face was bitter, Li Guohua, I miss you a little.
"Yes, yes, solve the problem! What do you think we should do?" Song Chengye patted his dizzy head and said anxiously.
At noon, he went to the Jingxi Iron and Steel Plant for lunch. After drinking too much, he agreed to provide a batch of vegetables to others. The cabbage must not go wrong.
"I asked people from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences to take a look. They said that the current drought and lack of rain is conducive to the occurrence of viral diseases. This is a normal phenomenon!" Qi Wei said after a pause.
In fact, he is an agricultural expert himself, but he cannot take on the responsibility at this time.
Screw this normal phenomenon, what I want is how to solve the problem!
"Did you say how to solve it?" Song Chengye asked angrily.
