Chapter 285 Fifty Nine Years

Just after the wheat harvest, Ma Renli led the people back to the reservoir, but after less than a month, he ran back with the bedroll.

Seeing the dejected and disheartened Ma Renli, Wang Zhong laughed unabashedly.

"Isn't it just being kicked off the dam? Why do you look like a lost dog?" Wang Zhong teased unceremoniously.

"What a bereaved dog!" Ma Renli said angrily, "I regret it."

"Regret is useless, who told you that you can't control your mouth!" Wang Zhong said angrily: "Master comes from your mouth, don't you know this truth, a college student?"

"Hey!" Ma Renli sighed, with regret on his face, pointed to his mouth and said, "I understand the truth, but I just can't control my mouth."

"I just raised a few construction suggestions with the chief engineer, and I was hanged a white flag."

"Eight words for you!" Wang Zhong said, "It's better to be silent than a thousand words!"

"It's better to be silent than a thousand words?" Ma Renli pondered these eight words, muttering in his mouth.

"Especially at this time, you must keep your mouth shut. Whether it's in the village or in front of outsiders, this time you were just driven back from the dam. If you cause trouble again next time, you might go in. Then I will be alone. A small branch secretary can't protect you."

"It's not that serious, is it?" Ma Renli frowned and asked a little nervously.

Wang Zhong glanced at him: "Forget it, what do I tell you, if you can keep your mouth shut, you won't be kicked off the dam, let's go to your house, I told your wife Said."

As he spoke, Wang Zhong walked over and put his arm around Ma Renli's shoulder.

Ma Renli shook his shoulders and took a few steps to the side: "What are you talking to my wife about?"

Wang Zhongdao: "Let the lamp control you, especially your mouth. You can say what you want, scold you when you want to scold, and do what you need to do. You are just itchy and need to be dealt with."

Ma Renli gritted his teeth and said, "Then I have to thank you well!"

Seeing Ma Renli gnashing his teeth, Wang Zhong couldn't help laughing, but he suppressed it and nodded as if it should be so: "If you really want to thank me, just treat me to a drink."

"Why don't you die of beauty!" Ma Renli said angrily.

"Speaking seriously, the weather this year is not normal to me, and there is too little rain. According to the newspaper, since last year, droughts have occurred in many places one after another. Since the spring of this year, the drought has not improved. , On the contrary, it is getting more and more serious, and the scope is also expanding. Some time ago, there were droughts in Hebei and parts of the northeast, what is the situation on the dam now?" Wang Zhong suddenly asked with a serious face.

Ma Renli also put away his emotions, with a straight face, and said seriously: "There is a lot of water on the dam, and it seems that there is really no rain this year. Are you worried that there will be a drought here?"

"Can you not be worried!" Wang Zhong said: "The folks live by farming and rely on God to reward them with food. If there is a drought, the crops in the field will definitely decrease."

Ma Renli nodded, with some memory in his eyes: "I remember when you said that, the water level on the dam seems to be gradually decreasing."

"The grain reserves in our warehouse exceeded [-] catties last year, and we have added a lot this year. Even if there is a drought, we can still handle it."

But Wang Zhong said: "The grain reserve can only be moved when it is necessary, but there are some things that we can do in advance."

"You want to prepare for the drought in advance?" Ma Renli guessed Wang Zhong's thoughts right away.

Wang Zhong didn't answer directly, but asked, "Are your instruments for observing the weather still working?"

Ma Renli said: "No problem!"

In the past few years Ma Renli has been insisting on observing the weather, but recently he has been staying on the dam, so naturally he has no time to tinker.

"Go! Go to your house!"

Wang Zhong knew that Ma Renli had been driven back, so he came to the village to wait for him because of this matter.

"Renli? Why are you back?" Yang Deng'er, with a big belly, was drying the quilts on the clothes pole in the yard, holding a short stick in his hand, which was used to beat the quilts.

Ma Renli blushed, his family status in the family was not high, and he had a sympathetic temperament, and even if he was really tough, he might not be tougher than Yang Deng'er, he was thinking of building a reservoir Improving my family status, I didn't expect to be sent back before the reservoir was completed.

"I was dispatched back!" Wang Zhong said in a strange way from behind.

"Are you sent back?" Yang Deng'er poured herbal tea for the two of them, and asked curiously: "We were sent back right away? Are you getting into trouble again?"

"I just made some construction suggestions with the chief engineer of the reservoir!" Ma Renli defended awkwardly.

Yang Deng'er stared at her beautifully, subconsciously wanting to have a fit, but in front of Wang Zhong, it's not good to touch Ma Renli too much, so she snorted and said, "It's good to be back."

"Okay, the two of you will be gentle at night, and move out your stuff first!" Wang Zhong urged beside him.

"That's right, that's right!" Ma Renli came back to his senses, and hurriedly brought out the set of weather observation instruments with Wang Zhong.

"Why are you in such a hurry? Is something wrong?" Yang Deng'er and Ma Renli have been married for a long time. It is not surprising to see Ma Renli messing around with these guys. It can be seen that the two are in a hurry. But he couldn't help being curious.

"Wang Zhong and I feel that the weather this year is a bit abnormal, and from last year to now, many parts of the country have experienced drought one after another. We are worried that we will also suffer from drought here."

Yang Deng'er said: "From the beginning of spring until now, it seems that there is indeed not as much rain as last year."

"Then do your work first! I'll cook for you." Yang Deng'er knew that he couldn't help, and didn't intend to push her forward, so she turned and went into the house to prepare for cooking.

Wang Zhong kicked Ma Renli lightly: "Your daughter-in-law is getting heavier and heavier, don't you want to find something good for her to nourish her body?"

"Why not!" Ma Renli said, "I really want to get one, but besides eggs, I can't buy old hens either!"

Nowadays, there are old hens in the family, and they all keep their eggs. Who is willing to sell the old hen that lays eggs.

When Ma Renli was alone, there were no livestock at home, but after Yang Deng'er got married, he did not.
"My family has it!" Wang Zhong said: "But let's talk about the ugly words first, and my brother has settled the account clearly. If you want an old hen, you must pay a penny."

"Really?" A smile appeared on Ma Renli's face.

"Forget it!"

"Will you want..."

"When it's done, go to my house to catch one and bring it back."

After several days of observation, the expression on Ma Renli's face gradually became serious.

"What's the matter?" Yang Deng'er brought the prepared sesame sauce noodles to the table in the yard, and seeing Ma Renli's expression was wrong, he couldn't help asking.

Ma Renli closed the notebook, walked towards Yang Deng'er, and said quite seriously as he walked, "According to my observations in the past few days, there really hasn't been much rain here recently."

"It's only June!" Yang Deng'er said.

"Although it's June, it's also the rainy season. There's not much rain now, and it will be even harder when it comes to autumn and winter." Ma Renli's face showed a bit of worry.

"Is there really going to be a drought here?" Yang Deng'er was beating his heart.

Ma Renli took the chopsticks from Yang Deng'er, sat on the stool, and stirred the noodles in the bowl: "It's hard to say now, maybe there will be a turnaround, after all, the weather fluctuates a lot in summer."

One day, Wang Zhong was in the house and Niu Bold suddenly came to the door.

"I heard that there is a new fine variety in Hebei, and the yield is not low. I plan to buy some seeds and try to grow one. What do you think?"

"Now is not the time to think about seeds!" Wang Zhong shook his head.

Niu boldly said: "Now don't consider when to consider seeds. When you told Secretary Wang last time, didn't you say that if we want to increase production, the only problem left is fertilizer and seed varieties! Now we can't solve it on a large scale Fertilizer problem, you can always try better seeds!"

"It's not a matter of trying or not!" Ma Renli explained, "Don't you think the weather this year is not right?"

Niu boldly nodded belatedly: "This year's weather is indeed hotter than in previous years, and there is less rain. It hasn't rained much since the beginning of spring."

Wang Zhongdao: "The newspapers said that many places in the country have been experiencing drought one after another, and the drought is quite serious. If you say that if there is a drought here, all seeds will be useless!"

"No!" Niu boldly said with a smile: "We are relying on the Maixiang River, and now we are building a reservoir. Even if there is a drought, we can also divert water from the reservoir to irrigate the fields."

Ma Renli shook his head and said: "What the worm means is that now is not a good time to go outside to buy good seeds. Although Hebei is not too far away from us, there is still a difference in climate. When the good seeds from Hebei come to us, we must have one." The process of adaptation, if the weather is good, maybe you can adapt, but if you catch up with a severe drought and the water and soil are not acclimatized, you can't be sure!"

"This..." Hearing what Ma Renli said, Niu Bold couldn't help hesitating.Although Niu Bold has a somewhat pedantic and stubborn temper, he is not the kind of person who is just and arbitrary and doesn't listen to other people's opinions at all.

"Bold, I know, you are now focused on raising production and getting more food, but there are some things we should consider."

"Now the little money in our brigade's account is what we have saved for many years. It is all the hard-earned money of the folks. If it is just in vain, we will be worthy of the hard work of the folks year after year. !"

"I..." After saying this, Niu Bold didn't know how to reply, so he could only sigh faintly: "Hey!"

Wang Zhongdao: "Going to Hebei, let alone the money to buy seeds, just the round trip and expenses will cost a lot of money, the key variable is too big, even if you really buy the high-yielding wheat seeds, it will still cost a lot of money. It may not be able to achieve the effect we want, anyway, it is only June now, and it is still early before the autumn sowing, if you believe me, how about we just wait and see for a while?"

"Okay! What you two said makes sense, I'll listen to you." Niu Bold's stubborn temper didn't show up in the end.

Day by day, the weather is getting hotter and hotter. Throughout June, there were only two occasional light rains.

In the evening, in the yard, Ziping and Zi'an were playing hard with Dahong Erhong. Dahong Erhong was carried back by Wang Zhong since he was a child, and his own spirituality is quite high. It was the two little guys who grabbed them hard. Even the two dogs could not move their mouths, let alone Wang Zhong, who was waving a cattail fan, was watching.

"It's time to eat!" Jiang Hongguo placed a large bowl of cold watered noodles on the stone table in the courtyard.

Ziping and Zi'an, who were walking the dog, heard Jiang Hongguo's voice, immediately put down Dahong and Erhong in their hands, and rushed to the side of the stone table in a flash.

"Hmm~~~" Before the two of them could hold onto the edge of the table and clear their throats, the two brothers immediately froze as if they had been immobilized by a monkey, then drooped their heads and walked quickly to the courtyard on the side of the tank.

Wang Zhong scooped up water for the two brothers to wash their hands and wipe their faces, and then the two squeezed to the stone table and sat down.

"Mom, hurry up, I want to eat noodles!" The two brothers were short and couldn't reach them while sitting, so they could only stand on the edge of the stone table, urging their mother.

"Here we come!" Jiang Hongguo brought out the bowls and chopsticks, fried sauce, shredded cucumber, oily chili and other ingredients on a tray.

Wang Zhong took the bowl, took two bowls, mixed the sauce, and brought it to Ziping. Jiang Hongguo also brought the mixed noodles to Zi'an. The two sons couldn't wait to eat it with the wooden fork that Wang Zhong had personally cut. up.

Dahong and Erhong also gathered around, wagging their tails non-stop, staring at the delicious food on the table.

Wang Zhong also picked up a bowl, scooped up the sauce and sprinkled cucumber shreds, and then poured it into the rice bowl under the eaves. The two dogs couldn't wait to get together and eat.

"It's getting hotter and hotter today!" Jiang Hongguo handed the mixed noodles to Wang Zhong.

Wang Zhong said: "Xia, isn't that the case!"

"It's fine now. I'll go to the mountain tomorrow and pick some herbs. It may take a little longer this time."

Jiang Hongguo sighed: "It's good to go into the mountains, and you can avoid the limelight, so you don't want to get involved."

Wang Zhong said: "No matter what, let's talk less and listen more, and nothing will happen."

Jiang Hongguo nodded and changed the subject: "By the way, I've been looking at Qiao Yue listlessly all day long. Do you think she has it?"

"I'm not sure if I don't have a pulse signal. It may also be because the weather is too hot, maybe I have heatstroke."

"If Qiao Yue really has one, it will be her second child. Do you think we want another one?" While talking, Jiang Hongguo buried her head in eating the noodles in the bowl.

"It's not impossible!" Wang Zhong looked at the two sons and said, "Daping, Er'an, will parents give you another little sister?"

The two brothers, whose mouths were full of oil, looked up at Wang Zhong at the same time, and said in unison: "Okay!"

Zi An said: "Father, I want a little brother!"

"Father, I want a little sister!" Ziping was not to be outdone.

Wang Zhong couldn't help laughing loudly: "Then give birth to a few more! Father and Mother will give you a litter of younger brothers and sisters."

"What are you talking about, I'm not a rabbit, how could I have a litter!" Jiang Hongguo also smiled.
