Rebirth 1979: Marrying a poor girl at the beginning

Almost every production brigade along the river would build a water storage dam in the river channel in order to retain water in the reservoir for drought-resistant irrigation.

If there is no water storage dam, the amount of water released from the reservoir will not be large, and the water will flow downstream. The river will not be able to store much water, and there will be no way to resist drought.

But in fact, the drought has been severe during this period, and the water storage dam of Hewan Brigade has been sealed long ago. Lin Zhengjun went back to catch fish with everyone!

In previous years, once the reservoir released water, the big fish inside came out, and they were all big and fat silver carp, grass carp, crucian carp, and bighead carp.

Using fishing nets, mosquito nets, torn sheets, and even bamboo baskets, adults and children from every household join in the effort, and each family can catch dozens of kilograms.

I can’t finish it, I can’t finish it at all!

It is often made into pickled fish or smoked fish and can be eaten for several months.

However, there are very few opportunities to catch fish during flood discharge!

"Thanks for your reminder. Then go quickly!" Zheng Yongchang said with a smile.

He was too anxious just now. The reservoir suddenly released floodwater, and he did not promptly notify the people downstream to stay away from the river, which could have caused a safety accident.

"Okay, when I'm done, I'll use the brigade's loudspeaker to notify you to open the sluice gates and release the water!" Lin Zhengjun immediately rushed to the Hewan Brigade.

After running breathlessly for more than half an hour, Lin Zhengjun arrived at the headquarters of the Hewan Brigade.

Lin Bingde looked at Lin Zhengjun in surprise and said, "Zhengjun, why are you running so fast? Is there an emergency?"

"Look, you're sweating all over. Drink some water!" Tang Xiaofu, who was writing a script at her desk, quickly brought over a glass of boiled water.

Lin Zhengjun was running so hard that his mouth was dry. He took the boiled water and drank it all in one gulp. In his excitement, he wiped his mouth with his shirt sleeve and said, "Secretary, the reservoir is going to open the gates to release water!"

"Oh, that's great. We can irrigate the land to fight drought. How did you convince the reservoir management station?" Lin Bingde was delighted and clapped his hands in admiration. He was so happy.

He never expected that Lin Zhengjun would solve the problem of opening the reservoir gates to release water so quickly. This guy is simply a lucky star for the Hewan Brigade! "Notify everyone to prepare their gear and go fishing!"

Lin Zhengjun smiled and said, "Remember, be safe. Wait until the flood stops and the water flow stabilizes before going. If someone drowns, it will be troublesome! None of us can afford to be blamed!"

"it is good!"

Lin Bingde quickly turned on the loud speaker and shouted: "Comrades, the Qiaoban Reservoir is about to open the gates to release floodwaters. Everyone, please pay attention to safety and keep an eye on your children. Don't go into the river. If any child disobeys, give him a beating on the butt!"

"Also, Comrade Zhao Zhongkai, the director of public security, will lead the militia to patrol the river with me!"

He was afraid that someone had missed the notice, so he broadcast it three times in a row. Then he left the brigade headquarters and ran to the river to patrol and check.

As for why we didn't notify everyone to catch the fish, there was no need to do that. We were not fools and we would go back to find tools as soon as we heard the notification.

I'm not worried about other villages hearing it.

There is an unwritten rule that all brigades can only go fishing in the river section belonging to their own village, and other brigades do not have this benefit.

As for how this rule came about, it’s very simple, it was enforced with fists!

Before, there was a group from downstream who went to the upstream section of the river to fish, but conflicts broke out. Those who did not follow the rules were beaten and had bloody heads!

A moment later, a militiaman ran over and saluted solemnly, "Reporting to Commander Lin, there is no one in the river, you can open the gate to release the water!"

"Got it!"

Lin Zhengjun knocked on the microphone and shouted loudly: "Comrades on the Banqiao Reservoir, this is the Hewan Brigade. There is no one in the river. You can open the gates and release the water!"

Then, instead of going to the reservoir, he ran to the Qingshui River to catch fish!

When the people on the library embankment heard Lin Zhengjun's broadcast, Zheng Yongchang gave the order: "Open Gate No. 1!"

A reservoir manager first opened the iron chain of the gate, and then several managers turned the hand rock wheel together, pulling the wire rope, and the No. 1 gate slowly rose.

"Boom!"

With a loud bang, the rushing water rushed out like a wild horse, making a rumbling sound. Big fish were washed into the sky. The scene was shocking.

"The water flows smoothly..."

Everyone checked to make sure there were no problems and then opened Gate No. 2.

The second gate is also fine.

But after the third gate was opened, the water flow slowed down significantly.

However, this is acceptable.

After all, there is not much rain today in summer, and the sluice gates are opened less frequently to release floodwaters. It is normal for the accumulated mud, sand and rocks to block the flood discharge outlets.

However, after the third gate was opened, a horrifying scene appeared: the water flow was completely blocked, and the water was so small that it was like peeing in cement.

Zheng Yongchang was terrified and said quickly, "Try the third gate!"

As a result, the third gate was also blocked!

The fourth and fifth gates were all blocked!

Zheng Yongchang, Bai Zhiyuan, Xu Zhigong and others were all sweating profusely, their hair stood on end, and their hearts almost jumped out of their throats!

The dam was originally designed with a slope that was not steep enough, and termite nests and leakage appeared. Once the water level rises to the warning line, the only hope to prevent the dam from collapsing is to release the flood water in time!

But now, three of the five flood discharge outlets are blocked. Once heavy rains occur, even gods will be unable to save the situation. There is only one outcome - dam collapse!

Zheng Yongchang was so angry that his face turned blue. He pointed at Li Gang and yelled, "Explain to me why the flood discharge outlet is so blocked! If you don't give me a clear answer today, I will treat you as a hostile element who deliberately sabotaged the water conservancy facilities and arrest you and shoot you as a target!"

As the director of the Water Conservancy Bureau, Zheng Yongchang is very knowledgeable about reservoirs. Even if there is mud and sand on the bottom of the water, it will not be blocked like this!

There must be something wrong here!

Li Gang was so frightened that he trembled all over and said tremblingly: "Uh, pot..."

"What? Pot?" Everyone was confused.

"The pot of the big stove was broken, and no one was too lazy to repair it, so they bought a new one and threw the old pot into the reservoir. It might have washed into the flood discharge outlet!" Li Gang said, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead.

"A pot can only block one flood outlet, what else can you do?" Zheng Yongchang said coldly.

"Fishing nets, fishing nets. Last year, when we were fishing at the end of the year, several fishing nets were broken, and we just threw them into the reservoir..." Li Gang said tremblingly.

"You're such a fucking talent!"

Zheng Yongchang was so angry that he kicked him to the ground: "It is your responsibility to regularly clean and dredge the flood discharge outlet to ensure that it is unobstructed! Damn it, you didn't clean it, and you even threw things in it!"

After kicking him to the ground, Zheng Yongchang was still not satisfied and kicked him in the face again and again: "You are a disaster star, you want to kill me and the people downstream, don't you?"

Li Gang was kicked so hard that his nose was bleeding and his teeth were shaking, but he did not dare to dodge. He just kept admitting his mistakes and begging for mercy.

Beating someone is a physical job. Zheng Yongchang is old, and he was exhausted and out of breath after beating for a while.

He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and shouted angrily: "Fire him! Must be fired! This bastard is the black sheep of the water conservancy team!" As he said that, he kicked him again!
