Chapter 128 A half-public and half-private suggestion, Lao Luo’s placement
“Will the team dig ditches in the past two days?” Li Long asked straight to the point.
"Yes, don't you want to do it? If you don't want to do it, then just go. You don't lack the two cents." Xu Chengjun knew Li Long quite well. Besides, looking at that piece of meat, he wouldn't embarrass Li Long.
“I’m talking about another thing.” Li Long said, “There is a dry ditch above our team’s Xiaohaizi. Every year, the mountain floods wash down from here, and then the north embankment of Xiaohaizi is destroyed. A hole was made.
It was the time for the students to go to school. Once the flood came, the road in Weigou could not be walked. They had to go around the dam of Xiaohaizi, and the team had to send people. Escort is not only troublesome, but also dangerous.”
"Then what do you want to do?" Xu Chengjun felt that what Li Long said made sense, but he would never think that Li Long was such a noble person. There must be his own plan in this.
“I want the team to dig out the main ditches and canals beside Xiaohaizi when cleaning the main canals in the team. When the flood comes, the water will flow directly from the main ditches into the main canals, so that The north side of Xiaohaizi will not be washed away, and the flood will not rush under the reed ditch. The children's way to school will not be cut off, and the team will save trouble."
Later generations Li Long knew this name. Snowmelt floods come every year. In the past, when the floods were small, the water washed down from the dry ditch above would rush along the gully to the west of Xiaohaizi into the reed ditch below, and then flow all the way down to Dahaizi.
Usually there is no water in the Weigou, and even if there is water, it is very small. The road from the production team to the countryside passes through Weigou, and there is no bridge here. It was not until four or five years later that the township built a concrete bridge here that was used until later generations.
The flood was particularly severe that year when Xiaohaizi was washed away. The ditch above was so full that it overflowed. The opening on the side of Xiaohaizi was also full of water.
The water in the entire Xiaohaizi was at the same level as the dam. The gate was raised to the highest level but still could not release all the floods. In the end, the floods accumulated more and more, broke the dam, and then rushed towards the lake with the fish in the lake. Downstream.
Although the team quickly organized people to repair the dam after the flood, it is impossible for those big fish that escaped to grow back. Because the flood did not receive enough attention this time, the sediment brought by it accumulated too much in Xiaohaizi. As a result, Xiaohaizi gradually turned into an above-ground reservoir, and the water storage volume gradually became smaller. In the end, it directly lost its function as a reservoir. , and then basically abandoned.
But this year, Xiaohaizi was washed away by floods, causing the Weigou to be filled with water, the roads were cut off, and students were suspended from classes for a full week.
If Li Long wants to change this situation, he must start from the very beginning.
As long as the upstream main ditches and main canals can be connected, water can be released from the main canals at the early stage of the flood to prevent floods from accumulating, so that Xiaohaizi can be preserved.
This main canal is more than two meters deep and three to five meters wide, just like a small river. It is not only responsible for irrigating nearly 2,000 acres of land in the village, but also responsible for the irrigation tasks of several other villages downstream.
As long as the flood is discharged from here from the beginning, the flood will not accumulate and it will not cause such a big trouble.
The only troublesome part is to dig out from the dry ditch to the opening of the dry ditch, which is a relatively large amount of work.
"That's what you said." Xu Chengjun nodded, then shook his head and said, "But everyone may not listen. After all, not everyone has a baby, and the land was only divided this year, so everyone I'm definitely not that active in doing the work in the team. I just want to do my own work. ..."
"That's easy to say." Li Long took out forty dollars and put it on the table. "It's eight cents per job. This forty dollars is enough for the whole team to work for three to five days. Is that okay? Based on double the work, I think there will be a lot of people wanting to do it.”
"That's true, but...why are you doing this?" Xu Chengjun was a little confused. Is this boy from the Li family panicking because he has too much money?
"Director, I won't hide it from you." Li Long knew that Xu Cheng was a very good soldier, and he would not be relieved unless he made it clear, so he explained patiently, "You also know that I have been smashing ice this winter. I made some money selling fish in the cave.
To be honest. The money comes from Xiaohaizi. I'm afraid that one day, there will be a big flood and Xiaohaizi will be destroyed. Then I won't be able to make this money, so why don't we divert the flood away now? I feel at ease." After saying this, Xu Chengjun understood.
He could understand Li Long’s thoughts and said with a smile:
"Okay, when the work is dispatched, I will add that section to dig the main ditch and the main canal. Anyway, the main ditch is upstream, and the terrain there is high, so there is no need to worry about where the water in the main canal will go."
Of these forty yuan, I can save at least twenty. But considering that Li Long can spend 40 yuan for this job, he can earn at least more than 100 yuan this winter - fish is really easy to sell!
It’s a pity that ordinary people can’t do this job. But now that the sideline business is open, when the farming season is slack, should I let my cousins try it too?
Li Long came out of Xu's house and went to the horse number.
The horse number is now owned by Li Long, but Lao Luo still lives in it. It's just that there are no horses in the horse barn now, it's empty and relatively quiet. The original hay in the horse barn was also divided when the team gave birth, and now it looks a little dilapidated.
When Li Long came over, Lao Luo was squatting by the outer wall of the horse hall. He stood up when he saw Li Long coming over.
"Xiaolong, are you here to take the horse number?" Lao Luo asked a little nervously.
Although he has a home and a yard, to be honest, he is used to living in a horse house and is still a little uncomfortable moving back.
"What are you doing? I'll come and see you." Li Long said with a smile, "Lao Luo, you live here. Let me discuss something with you. Will you farm in the future?"
"No more planting. I am a five-guarantee household in the team. The captain asked others to plant the land for me, and then just give me the grain." Lao Luo sighed, "I have raised more than a dozen A young animal can do nothing else.”
"Then I need to get something from the mountains, like a little wild boar, for example. Can you help me raise it?" Li Long asked, "I will pay you for your wages, how about that?"
"Really? That's great!" Lao Luo grinned, "If you really want to do this, don't worry. I will definitely raise the animals well - just pay me whatever you want! If your horse No. 76 is free, you can bring it over and ask me to raise it. I'm used to raising it, and now I can't sleep without hearing the horse's braying every day. . ”
Li Long also smiled, isn’t this a win-win situation, killing two birds with one stone!
"Okay, I'll bring him over when the work is done."
Going home from the horse, Li Long told Li Jianshe about Lao Luo.
"This can definitely be done. Lao Luo... he has fought in the war before. Although he is not a combat soldier, he is a logistics worker, but he has also made contributions. The village has long said that he will be sent to a nursing home to be raised, but he will not Stay, he wants to be in the team. He said he couldn't get used to staying in the nursing home, so the village let him come back. "
Li Long knew about this in his previous life. After the Ma Hao was demolished in his previous life, Lao Luo ended up going to a nursing home because he couldn't go out there very often. Although he had to take care of food and accommodation, he had to work all day long. Nothing happened. In the end, Lao Luo stayed for less than ten years and then died.
Maybe there will be changes in this life?
Thanks to the book friend Dongli Pavilion Master, Wukong Babujie for the reward. I recommend a new book about tentacle monsters, "Years: Starting from the Divorce of a Female College Student". The author's coding speed is extremely fast and he is also a veteran. You can check it out.
