They in the 70s

After the work of plowing is completed, it is followed by watering and irrigation.

The amount of work for watering the ground is larger, because not only the empty spring fields need to be watered, but also the wheat will enter a vigorous growth period after the spring is warm and flowers bloom, which requires sufficient water.

Every year at this time, the government will organize the water conservancy engineering department to open the gates and release part of the Yellow River water to facilitate agricultural irrigation in the entire region.

just.

Shimen Village is located in a remote area, originally in the downstream area, and the terrain here is still high, so the water of the Yellow River cannot flow here at all.

This makes the irrigation work in Shimen Village very difficult.

If they can't wait for the water from the Yellow River, they can only get water from the well at home, and then use buckets to congratulate the poles, and then carry them from home to the fields.

It takes at least seven or eight days to complete the work of only watering the land, and the whole village, men, women and children, can be said to be extremely time-consuming and labor-intensive.

And for the educated youths, this is even more frustrating than hoeing.

Carrying water is not only a physical work, but also a technical work. You need to find a balance, otherwise you will not be able to walk on the back of the pole. You must also ensure a stable balance, otherwise the water in the bucket will be easily spilled.

In the beginning, the educated youths didn’t even know how to use a pole, but they finally learned it. Not to mention the pain in their shoulders, the water in the bucket was almost submerged before they left the village halfway. up.

Finally, Zheng Yan thought of a way. He asked everyone to take out the single clothes that they seldom wear at ordinary times. After each bucket of water was filled, he covered the mouth of the bucket with clothes and tied it up. Although this could not completely seal the water However, at least half of the bucket will be left when everyone carries the water to the ground, so that the hard work will not be in vain.

However, this is only a temporary solution, not a permanent cure.

The most fundamental problem that educated youths face is tiredness.

From the educated youth point to the farmland, it takes two or three miles for a shorter distance. After carrying water twice, most people are almost paralyzed.

Lu Zhan had a lot of activities in his life, and he was a little better, but He Zhi was not so good.

He Zhi was not on duty at the school today, but also joined the water-carrying team. He was spoiled by Aunt Luo since he was a child, and he had never done such heavy physical work. The man just sat down on the muddy ridge and couldn't stand up for a long time. Under the scorching sun, his face was covered with big beads of sweat.

Lu Zhansheng was heartbroken. Hearing Zheng Yan and the others say to let those girls go back to the educated youth to rest, and the boys should do more work, he especially wanted He Zhi to go back to rest too. He felt that Zheng Yan and the others should also go back to rest. will not object.

But He Zhi probably wouldn't agree.

He Zhi is not a girl, and he is very principled. He will definitely not allow himself to engage in special circumstances.

When Lu Zhansheng took off his coat to wipe He Zhi's face, Wu Changde came over, smoking a cigarette. "Hey, I'm still blaming Sensible Riley."

"... "

Lu Zhansheng glanced at him angrily, but ignored him.

Wu Changde didn't want to talk to Lu Zhansheng any more, he just asked He Zhi: "What's the matter, Comrade Xiao He, are you exhausted?"

He Zhi heard the words, struggled to stand up from the ground, and then asked Wu Changde: "Secretary, is this the only way to irrigate the land in our village?"

"Ah."

Wu Changde said: "The Yellow River can't flow, and it doesn't rain, so that's the only way. There is no other way."

He Zhi thought for a while, and continued to ask: "Then try going upstream to see if it is possible to dig the ditch deeper and let the water flow over?"

"Don't look, our village is on a slope, it's very high, and no matter how deep you dig, there won't be any water."

Wu Changde said: "Several generations of us have watered the ground like this."

He Zhi thought for a while, and then asked: "Have you tried digging a well nearby? If you can dig a few wells in the fields, you can save a lot of time and effort."

"I tried it." Wu Changde said, "But our place is too dry to dig out water."

Hearing this, Lu Zhansheng couldn't hold back and interjected: "How can those draft wells in the house dig water?"

Hearing this, Wu Changde looked at Lu Zhansheng, took a puff from the pipe, and said in a disgusted tone: "The place occupied by the village is a geomantic treasure land selected by the ancestors. If you dig anywhere, you can get out of the well, but this It’s just not good in the fields, it’s too dry, and no one has dug out water for many generations.”

"It must be that many generations of you didn't plan to dig out the water at all."

Lu Zhansheng said disapprovingly: "No matter where the drought is, there must be underground water sources, but there are deep and shallow ones. If you want to dig, you will be able to dig them out."

Hearing this, Wu Changde felt that this kid Lu Zhansheng was about to go crazy again and compete with him again, so he just kept getting angry. "Only you can! No one is as good as you!"

"Yo, it's not easy."

Lu Zhansheng hummed directly: "You finally said something serious."

"Gua Wazi!"

Wu Changde became angry, and pointed at him with a cigarette pipe and pot: "If you think you can dig out water, go dig it! If you can't dig it out, you will water the whole land by yourself!"

"Okay!"

Lu Zhansheng didn't believe in evil, he threw the pole in his hand, and immediately stood up and asked Wu Changde: "Then what if I dig it out?"

Wu Changde stared: "What do you think!"

Lu Zhansheng thought for a while and said, "If I dug water out of this field, then we, the educated youths, will be spared the work of watering the field, but you still have to record our work points for us as usual, how about it?"

Wu Changde didn't even hesitate: "OK!"

"Okay, refreshing!"

Satisfied, Lu Zhansheng rolled his eyes at Wu Changde, then patted his butt and went back to the village to find tools.

Lu Zhansheng had never done the work of digging a well, but he had a rich theoretical basis from reading reference books. He knew how to choose a site, and he also knew what tools and methods to use.

Going back to search everywhere, after carrying a bunch of tools back, Lu Zhansheng walked around several fields for a long time, found a place that felt suitable, and then started digging.

At first, when the villagers saw Lu Zhansheng's tone of voice, they thought he had some special tricks, and they would come to have a look when they passed by.

But seeing that Lu Zhansheng also used the soil method, digging a pit, and he dug from noon to evening, five or six meters deep, but what was dug out was still dry loess, everyone gave up hope.

In the evening, everyone went home from work, and Lu Zhansheng was still digging there.

The other educated youths had been carrying water for a day, and they were exhausted. Li Dabao, Zhao Jun and a few girls knew that they couldn't help Lu Zhansheng, so they went back, leaving only Zheng Yan and Song Jian.

The pit has been dug very deep, more than ten meters.

Lu Zhansheng raised his head after hearing the commotion, and saw He Zhi standing at the entrance of the cave looking down. He still used some selfishness and asked He Zhi to dig the well with him, but he didn't let He Zhi work. He Zhi was only allowed to accompany him by the edge of the pit.

Originally, he didn't feel tired after digging all afternoon, and he was even digging vigorously, but the moment he saw He Zhi, for some reason, Lu Zhansheng suddenly felt a little tired.

Want to rest for a while, want to go up and hug He Zhi to rest for a while.

But after he climbed up along the rope tied before, he saw Zheng Yan and Song Jian coming again, and he immediately pulled his face: "What are you two doing here?"

"Hold?"

Hearing this, Zheng Yan laughed angrily: "What do you think we are doing here? Do you know what is good or bad, kid?"

"That's right." Song Jian also said: "Brothers are exhausted from working all day, and I have to come over and mess around with you for a while after the work is over. Can you know something?"

"Who wants you to accompany me?"

Lu Zhansheng rolled his eyes: "You two are unnecessary, go back quickly."

"Yeah, that's how I can't be a human again."

"Well, then we have to teach him."

Zheng Yan and Song clicked their fists twice when they saw the words, planning to work together to teach Lu Zhansheng how to be a man.

At this time, Wu Changde came over, smoking a pipe and pot, followed by Wu Qingqing.

When Zheng Yan and Song Jian saw them, they immediately put away their fighting stance.

"Secretary." He Zhi greeted.

"Ah."

Wu Changde responded, walked over, looked down the pit, and found that as he had expected before, no water could be dug out, he thought to himself that this time the little boy could finally be honest for a while, he looked at Lu Zhansheng, sucked Cigarette pot snorted: "What's the matter, are you convinced?"

Lu Zhansheng ignored him directly.

Wu Qingqing said: "We have dug before, and we have dug to a depth of more than 30 meters, but there is still no water. Don't waste your energy, go back and rest."

"If there is no water for more than 30 meters, then 40 meters, and if 40 meters is not enough, then go for another 40 meters."

Lu Zhansheng said: "Even if I dug through the earth, I would still dig out the water."

"Why are you so stubborn?" Wu Qingqing said helplessly.

"It has nothing to do with being stubborn."

Lu Zhansheng deliberately glanced at Wu Changde, and then hummed: "I just want to prove with practical actions that some people are just lazy!"

"... "

Wu Changde originally came here to give Lu Zhan a step to go back and rest, but he didn't want to give Lu Zhan just half a step with this sentence, he didn't even want to say anything, turned his head and left angrily.

Wu Qingqing was helpless for a long time and left too.

Seeing that Zheng Yan and Song were eager to keep up, Lu Zhan thought it was just right, and he immediately said to the two of them, "Hey, buddy, I put up the steps for you two."

Hearing this, Zheng Yan and Song Jian immediately looked at him.

Lu Zhansheng said again: "Step on me, go to Lao Wu and Xiao Wu to set up your tall image, it's okay, buddies sacrifice yourself for others, you can make up whatever you want, and you can tell nonsense as you like, go quickly."

Zheng Yan and Song Jianwenyan smiled and hugged him one after another, and then they all followed Wu Qingqing.

After the two were finally driven away, Lu Zhansheng turned his head and immediately walked to He Zhi's side, then smiled and sent one of his cheeks towards him.

He Zhi felt a little helpless, kissed him on the cheek, and asked him, "Are you tired?"

"Not tired at all."

Lu Zhansheng rubbed against He Zhi's body, while smiling smirkly and winking at He Zhi. "And you?"

Looking at his performance, He Zhi seemed to know what he wanted to do. After all, he seems to have taken some stimulant drugs recently, and he doesn't stop every day, thinking about it when it gets dark.

He Zhi pinched his face helplessly. "I am a bit tired."

"Then I'll give you a massage to relax you."

With a smirk, Lu Zhan stretched out his hand, grabbed He Zhi's waist, and pulled him into his arms: "Shall we go to the small shack?"

He Zhi lowered his eyes and bent his mouth.

Seeing this expression, Lu Zhansheng knew that this was his agreement. He smiled in satisfaction, then moved closer to He Zhi's ear, and whispered:

"I'll get it in a while, you just have to enjoy it."
