Chapter 2353 Husband and Wife Are of the Same Mind
This world is actually a book.
It took Yun Hua several days to fully digest this matter, or in other words, what she really needed to digest was the future of Dudu and Doudou.
In this book, it is obvious that the protagonist Tang Jianqing later became rich and powerful, but the lives of his two sons, Dudu and Doudou, were extremely gloomy.
This is what Yun Hua really cares about.
As for the heroine Xiao Ruyue, Yun Hua didn't take it to heart at all.
If it was Tang Jianqing in the past, he might be confused by Xiao Ruyue, but now it is not Tang Jianqing, but Bao Siqing. There is absolutely no way that he can be confused by a woman like Xiao Ruyue.
Especially now, Bao Siqing also knows that they are in a book and Xiao Ruyue is the heroine, so he will be more careful and vigilant.
Both of them have the same plan, which is to take good care of Dudu and Doudou no matter what. These two children are the most innocent. As for the rest, what if the world is a book? They don't just follow the plot casually.
They are the center of the world, it is they who have made the world possible, not the world that limits them!
Both of them have this kind of confidence.
The next days are step by step.
In addition to working in the village, Bo Siqing also goes out to make money and earn various bills.
The county transportation team originally gave Tang Jianqing the title of martyr, but he was removed from the list and his position was vacated. A new person had already been arranged. Even if he came back now, he would not be able to return to the transportation team.
These days, the iron rice bowl is a carrot and a pit, and there will be no one more.
However, Bao Siqing didn't care about this pit either. He felt more comfortable not going there.
The two of them did not forget to review. Although the college entrance examination questions this time are quite simple for those who review carefully, they did not want to be careless. It would be too embarrassing if they failed.
This spring has been particularly dry.
It has been two months without a drop of rain.
The Wuli River flowing through Xiaheshu Village has also stopped flowing.
Murakami spent this time scrambling for water.
But Xiaheshu Village is downstream. Liuhe Village and Shangheshu Village upstream have already stopped drinking water. When they reach Xiaheshu Village, there is nothing.
Seeing that the leaves of the crops in the field were rolled up and almost scorched, there were even large holes in the ground. Many people's wells could not draw water, and they had to fetch water from other houses.
Now there are only two wells in the village that can produce water. One is the well of the village party secretary Chen Fushan's family, and the other is the well of Bo Siqing and painter Lin Yun.
At first, the people in the village went to Chen Fushan's house to fetch water, but as for the whole village, how many people needed water, and how fast could the water from one well be fed by the whole village?
The families with whom Lin Yunhua had a good relationship were the first to come to Lin Yunhua to fetch water, and then other families also came to fetch water as they couldn't bear it any longer.
I thought Lin Yunhua would be reluctant, but in fact Lin Yunhua had no objection. If Dudu and Doudou were at home, she would ask the two little guys to help press the water.
The person holding the hand was short-handed, and the villagers began to think of Lin Yun's good paintings again, saying that the people in the city were literate, but they were different.
The Tang family refused to come to Lin Yunhua to fetch water.
Tang Jianbing and Chen Ying didn't care so much. Their cooking skills were taught by Lin Yunhua. Lin Yunhua was kind to them. No matter how ugly the Tang family's old man, the old lady, and the big house made trouble with Lin Yunhua, They had always been on Lin Yunhua's side, but they just couldn't speak out against his parents.
Gradually, almost half of the people in the village came to Lin Yun to fetch water. Her well was well dug and the water was flowing out continuously, unlike Chen Fushan's well, which was too shallow and had insufficient water supply.
Especially after another half month, the well in Chen Fushan's house dried up. Now, the only well in the village owned by painter Lin Yun was left. If no one came to draw water, there would be no water to eat.
Even if they come to fetch water, the whole village will keep pumping water all day long, and the water will not be enough for the whole village.
what to do?
In the past two days, Tang Jianqiang took people to negotiate with Liuhe Village and Shangheshu Village in the upper reaches of the Wuli River. He hoped that the two villages in the upper reaches would open the gates and release water, so that they could have some water in Xiaheshu Village. People, livestock and crops would all need it. Where's the water?
Now is a critical period for crops. If the water shortage continues, this year's summer grain production will not only be reduced, but also the harvest will be wiped out!
If the food harvest fails, it means that the entire brigade will starve. Who can bear it?
However, there is a shortage of water everywhere. The water upstream is enough, but I am afraid that after the water is released, I will be out of water.
After all, the weather this year is abnormal. No one knows when the drought will end, and when God will let it rain!
The two villages above have a very tough attitude and are determined not to let go. If Xiaheshu Village dares to attack people again, they will be kicked out directly.
Chen Fushan went to the commune and asked commune leaders to negotiate.
But these days, food is a matter of life and fortune, and the commune leaders don’t have enough face. To put it bluntly, the two villages upstream just refuse to let the water go!
The villagers are furious. If they don't release the water, it will cost them their lives!
The villagers began to gather and plan, and rushed forward to open their dam, so that the water would be released. Even if they waited for them to repair the dam again, a lot of water would be released.
Tang Jianqiang disagrees.
Then the whole village was taken to the other two villages to open the dams, and it was obvious that they were going to fight. Village against village, so many people, all fighting for their lives, what should I do if something goes wrong?
With so many people fighting, it would be a big deal if something went wrong, and it would be a matter of life and death.
But if we don’t go, the higher-ups won’t release water, and the crops will die from drought, and the people in the village will also lose their lives. What should we do?
"The drought is likely to continue this year."
Yun Hua couldn't understand what Bao Siqing was tinkering with, but she could understand what he said.
"Hey, what will we do if this continues?" Yun Hua was also worried.
Even though she had no sense of belonging to Xiaheshu Village, she really couldn't relax because it was related to the survival of so many people.
Not to mention the next thirty years, in the next twenty years, many people will never experience a life of not having enough to eat, but in this era, it is a real thing that people will starve to death if they don’t have enough to eat. .
"What are you doing?" Yun Hua couldn't help but ask.
Bao Siqing curled his lips and said, "Groundwater detector, or water finder for short."
Yun Hua was a little surprised, "It seems that the engineering team will have such a thing, is it available now?"
"There is no technical difficulty in this, and the principle is very simple. There will definitely be professional engineering teams, but it may be difficult to find them in small places." Bao Siqing said, "So I made some myself. With the continuous drought, one well and two wells Wells are of no use at all, more wells are needed, and now they are all dug wells, not drilled by machines. If you find the right location, you can eliminate a lot of labor."
Yun Hua nodded.
While doing this, Bao Siqing explained the principle of this water finder to Yun Hua, "It actually uses the different resistivities of different materials, such as soil, rocks, water, etc. The resistivities of these things are different..."
Bao Siqing made several trips to the county town and finally found the water instrument.
He first made one to test, and if the effect was satisfactory, he would make a few more.
The instrument is ready, but how do we get people to use it?
We still have to go to the village party secretary Chen Fushan.
Chen Fushan's hair has almost turned gray during this period.
The drought is about to catch up with the severe drought more than ten years ago. People are very afraid of starving to death again.
The upstream refuses to release water, so it is unrealistic to fight to grab water. People will die. But if they are really forced to do so, people may not care about anything and have to grab water.
Chen Fushan and Tang Jianqiang discussed and found the most experienced well digger in the village to dig wells in a few places to see if they could dig out water. If they could, maybe Xiaheshu Village could be saved. If If you can't...then you're really at your wits end and can't turn anything off!
The site for digging the well is near Yun Huahua.
The reason is that it is far away from the village and the terrain is relatively low. In addition, everyone can see it. In the whole village, only painter Lin Yun's well has water. This is the most important reason.
The whole village's young men and women worked together to dig the well for the third day, and it was already seven or eight meters deep. There was only some wet soil, but no water at all!
It was such a hot day and there was no water to dig out, so everyone was in a bad mood.
"If that doesn't work, go and grab water! Wuli River doesn't belong to just their two villages. If they don't release the water, they are killing us in Xiaheshu Village. If we can't survive, they won't want to live either! Grab water!"
"Get water! Get water!"
People's blood was aroused.
Very angry! It just explodes at one point!
Chen Fushan rushed there with Bao Siqing.
"Everyone stop, listen to me!"
Chen Fushan stood on a chair and shouted loudly, "Everyone, be quiet!"
"Uncle Fukuyama, what are you going to say? Tell us when we can go grab water! Without further ado, it's best to go tonight, and we'll do the damn thing! If you don't let us live, then no one will live!"
"Get water! Get water!"
"Shut up!"
Chen Fushan roared angrily, "Don't you know the consequences of grabbing water? How many of you can end a fight without dying? Who of you wants to die? Whoever wants to die, just stand up!"
Everyone looked at each other.
But someone still said: "Uncle Fukuyama, no one wants to die, but if there is no water, then everyone will die together!"
"Let's dig a well first and take a look." Chen Fushan said.
"It's been digging for three days! I dug so deep that I didn't even see a drop of water. In order to dig this well, Sanwazi broke his legs and stopped digging! Whoever likes to dig can dig it. Anyway, I don't like this well. Dig it!”
"If we don't dig anymore, we won't be able to dig out water. It's a waste of effort."
"I don't even want to sweat a drop, and I don't even have a drink of water."
Chen Fushan almost died of anger, but he also knew that he had to calm down now.
"I know that everyone is worried that the well has not dug out water. That's because we chose the wrong place. There is no water in this place! Or the water is too deep and we can't dig it."
Chen Fushan said, "I found a machine for everyone. Use this machine to test and you will know where to dig out water!"
"Is there really a machine that can detect it? What kind of machine is this? Is it so deep?"
"It's not a lie, is it?"
"With this thing, can it detect where there is water?"
Chen Fushan said, "I don't know how to use this machine, so Jianqing will let Jianqing operate it to find water. If we find it, we will dig a well! If we dig a dozen wells, won't the water be enough? I heard the old man say , this drought may not be resolved for another month, and the water in the Wuli River is almost gone. Even if they block the two villages above, they don't block much. If we take the risk to release the water, we won't be able to release much, so we might as well Let’s dig our own wells! In a few days, the two villages above them will run out of water, so let’s just stare at them!”
"Secretary, if this machine can really find water for us, that's fine. If it can't find it, we'll be wasting our time..."
"I promise, I can find it!" Chen Fushan said and glanced at Bao Siqing.
Bao Siqing nodded, "If you can find it, if you can't find it... I'll go grab water with you."
Ever since Bao Siqing said that he was not Tang Jianqing, but Bao Siqing, the people in the village had always had a strange feeling about him, and they didn't pay much attention to him when he was at work.
At this moment, Bao Siqing took the initiative and said that if he couldn't find water, he would go and grab it...
These words really surprised many people.
Tang Jianqiang gritted his teeth: "Okay, I also believe in Uncle Fushan! Let's dig again. If we still can't dig out water, let's go grab water together!"
"good!"
The villagers' energy was aroused.
Bao Siqing took the electrode and started to detect. To be on the safe side, he selected the most likely point where water would come out from the several points he found, and directed everyone to dig.
"Are you sure this is here?" Tang Jianqiang asked.
Bao Siqing nodded.
"Jianqing, if we can't dig out water... you have to take the lead when it comes to grabbing water," someone said.
Bao Siqing nodded again, "Okay."
In that case, let’s dig in!
On the first day, not even a bit of wet soil was dug out.
The next day, some wet soil was dug out, but there was still no sign of water coming out.
People are actually discouraged.
How much effort does it take to dig a well? Everyone is tired, hungry and thirsty. They have been working hard for the past two days with all their strength. It has been two days since digging and there is still no movement. Most of them can't dig out water. .
Some people who are impatient will simply give up their job.
"I don't think you're wasting your efforts. You've dug so deep and still haven't found anything."
"It's just that I'm exhausted. I might as well find a place to thank you. I'm so hungry that I've lost all energy."
This negativity is contagious.
If one person doesn't do it, no one else will do it either.
Tang Jianqiang himself was a little frustrated. He was trying to boost morale, but it was of no use.
Bao Siqing had a stern look on his face, walked forward and started digging by himself.
Tang Jianqiang and Tang Jianbing helped him dig, but how long will they have to dig?
At this moment, Yun Hua came with Dudu and Doudou.
The two children carried a large basket, and Yun Hua carried a pole with two buckets on both sides.
"If I don't have anything to eat in my stomach, of course I can't do any work. I just eat to cushion my stomach. If I keep digging, I'm sure I can dig out water!" Yun Hua said.
A group of passive and strong laborers looked at each other.
These days, every household is short of food. Lin Zhiqing actually takes out his own food for everyone to eat?
She is really confident that this well can dig out water!
