The Vicious Fat Wife Dressed as a Disabled General

Chapter 278 Solved the big problem
Uncle Zhang delivered food to his son on the mountain, and came back feeling anxious.

He was afraid that what he said just now would cause conflicts between Jiang Zhinuan and his wife. After returning, he squatted in the field and smoked dry tobacco.

Uncle woke up from a nap, went to the toilet, saw Uncle Zhang squatting there, and moved over.

"What's the matter? At that time, I seemed to hear you talking about building dams?"

Uncle Zhang sighed: "Yes, it rained two days ago, and the water in this river rose. I was afraid that the water would overflow the embankment and flood the reed marshes during the flood season, so the fat girl planned to build a embankment."

"Xiu, this is a business matter, why are you shaking your head and sighing here?" Uncle was very puzzled, looking at Uncle Zhang, he didn't seem to be worried about repairing the embankment here.

Zhang Abo is also a person who can't hide things, but this Di Qing can't tell others about the jade plaque. He hesitated for a long time and said: "The embankment is a big project, and it will cost a lot of money."

It turned out to be worrying about money.

If it's physical work, my uncle and his two sons can help casually, but he is really short of cash and can't help with money matters.

"Can't we fix it by ourselves? It's a manual thing, what money do we need?"

Zhang Abo sucked on the cigarette stick for a long time before saying: "The water has risen after just one rain. If it comes to the flood season, the water will not know how it will rise. To be safe, I conservatively estimate that the dam should be built to a height of three meters." , that’s not something we can fix by ourselves.”

Uncle was shocked when he heard this!
What the hell is going to build a three-meter embankment?

The height of these three meters is almost the height of a one-story house. Building such a high embankment by the river is abrupt and blocks the line of sight.

Uncle glanced at the river below: "Why can the water rise three meters high?"

Uncle Zhang shook his head: "Who knows how high the river can rise during the flood season? Isn't it safer to be higher?"

He also estimated such a height based on the height of the flooded water from the previous rain. It doesn’t matter if the embankment is higher, as long as it can block the water. Big loss.

Uncle thought about it and got up and patted Zhang Abo on the shoulder: "I'll go and have a look."

……

In the evening, he had to clean up his uncle and two cousins. Di Qing was arranged to go to the reed marsh to catch three ducks and kill them. In the evening, he would cook ducks in an iron pot.

Jiang Zhinuan sorted and sorted the things that he had processed in the morning, and put them in the small freezer in the basement for storage.

As soon as I climbed up from the basement, my uncle came looking for him.

"Warm girl."

"Uncle, why don't you rest for a while, and I'll call you again when we have dinner."

Uncle pulled a stool in the kitchen, sat down, waved to her, and signaled Jiang Zhinuan to come over and sit down: "I heard from your Uncle Zhang that the reeds need to be dammed?"

Jiang Zhinuan nodded: "It needs to be repaired. It rained two days ago, and the river almost overflowed the embankment. In my reed marsh, there are not only wild ducks but also chickens. It was hard to pull up the fence." The enclosed reed marshes cannot be destroyed by floods before making money."

"Really want to build three meters high?"

Jiang Zhinuan was helpless when it came to the three-meter height. Three meters is really a big project, and she thought the water wouldn't rise that high, but just like Zhang Abo said, if it's not ten thousand, it's just in case.

"I thought about looking for traces of river erosion along both sides of the river bank to determine the height of the water rise in previous years, but I looked again and found nothing."

"Don't worry, let's go, let's go take a look."

Uncle has no other skills, but he has been facing the loess all his life, and he is the best at field work.

Jiang Zhinuan led him along the roots of the mountain, scraping away the weeds, and there was no trace of water washing on the mountain, but his uncle saw the clues.

"Look here!"

Jiang Zhinuan followed her to have a look, and her uncle pointed at the lush weeds, but she couldn't see anything.

"Isn't this just ordinary grass?"

Uncle nodded, the grass is indeed ordinary grass, but the difference is that the grass here grows very luxuriantly, but if he doesn't say it, Jiang Zhinuan can't tell it at all.

The uncle led Jiang Zhinuan out more than ten meters along the root of the mountain, and asked her to carefully observe the grass emerging from the root of the mountain.

"Uncle, what's wrong with these grass? I really can't see it."

Uncle didn't keep it up, and explained directly: "Look at these grasses, they grow very well."

"Yes." Jiang Zhinuan nodded: "These weeds grow better."

"Would you like to see the grass on it again?"

Jiang Zhinuan bent down to look, and there seemed to be a pattern in these grasses. The grass near the ground was dark green and very lush, but the closer to the mountain, the grass looked much sparser and the color was different.

how to say?It feels like being malnourished.

"Uncle, what's going on?"

"Using the grass as the boundary, a few tens of centimeters up and down is the height of the previous year's water rise."

Seeing that his uncle was so sure, Jiang Zhinuan was even more puzzled: "How did uncle know?"

"It's very simple. When the water rises, there will always be some fertile silt. The water and nutrients in the silt are naturally absorbed by these weeds, so they grow luxuriantly. If the above can't absorb it, they naturally look poor. some."

It seems reasonable that my uncle used this method to determine the height of the flood in previous years.

Fearing that Jiang Zhinuan wouldn't believe him, the uncle patted his chest and said, "You just listen to me about the things in the land, although I don't know anything about water, but according to the conditions in the land, I can You can tell!"

Jiang Zhinuan walked forward for another tens of meters. After hearing what his uncle said, these weeds clearly had a dividing line. Below this dividing line should be the place where the rising water has submerged.

It is only about forty or fifty centimeters from the ground!

If this is true, it would be much easier to build the embankment. Even if the rainfall varies from year to year, the river will rise differently. For the insurance period, when the embankment is built, it will be higher, and it will be more than enough to build one meter. !

There is a big difference between the height of one meter and three meters!

Three meters is higher than a house, and this one meter is no more than half the height of more than half a person. The project was reduced by two-thirds at once, and Jiang Zhinuan suddenly felt a lot lighter.

"Uncle, are you sure about this?"

"You are so smart, if you think about it, you will know if what I said makes sense!"

Jiang Zhinuan laughed instantly!She rushed forward and hugged her uncle tightly, and jumped on the spot several times excitedly: "It's great! Uncle, you are really amazing, you solved my big problem as soon as you came!"

"You don't have to worry about this. The flood season will only arrive in July and August, and there are still more than two months to go. Your two cousins ​​just happened to come too. Let them stay for a while to help with repairs. We don't need to hire anyone. Do it yourself!"

Jiang Zhinuan nodded: "Okay, it's all up to uncle to arrange."

To build a one-meter embankment, you don’t need to build a scaffold to climb up. It’s much more convenient to build it yourself.

Jiang Zhinuan walked along the reeds with his uncle: "Uncle, how do you think this is going to be repaired?"

Uncle thought for a long time before saying: "Make it into a sickle shape, and build it horizontally at the beginning of the front, and then build it along the river, so that the water will come down on it, so as to ensure that it will not rush into the reeds."
