Rebirth 84, starting from fish farming

Chapter 10 Reservoir Duty Room

For a week in a row, two bulldozers bulldozed back and forth in this small reservoir of more than 20 acres.

When the mechanical plowing road was originally built, the soil on both sides was pushed into the middle to build this dirt road.

Since there are no advanced machines like excavators and only bulldozers work, both sides of the road were pushed into two pot pits.

There are gentle slopes on the north and south sides of the dam, which looks like a trapezoid in cross-section.This time, under the pretext of strengthening the dam, Lu Changhua asked them to deepen the soil at the bottom of the dam by more than 1 meter, and push it out by more than 50 meters in three directions: southeast, west, and southeast.

This time, the water surface of the entire reservoir has increased by more than ten acres.

According to Lu Changhua, increase the storage capacity.

Clean and level the bottom of the pot, trying to achieve a uniform depth.

After his actual measurement, the height of the dam was nearly ten meters.

In order to strengthen the dam, bulldozers came to the north side of the dam and slowly pushed the soil from the north side up to the dam, increasing the width of the dam.

The gentle slopes on the north and south sides not only thickened the soil layer, but also were crushed by bulldozers to consolidate the slopes.

Lu Changhua thought to himself that if there was another problem with such reinforcement, there would be nothing he could do.

During this period, he was surprised to find that he had read the green book twice!

"Knowledge mastery of freshwater fish farming 3/100".

The text on the skill panel was so conspicuous, not to mention the excitement in Lu Changhua's heart!

If we go at the current speed, it won't be difficult to watch it 100 times!
In the past few days, he and Xiong Bao had been sitting on the bare dam. The spring breeze was so strong that his lips were cracked after a few days.

Looking at the desolation around him, Lu Changhua suddenly remembered that on the west side of the reservoir, near the dam, the Yu family built a house in his previous life.

Yes, why was I so stupid that I didn’t think of it? !
How can flood prevention work be carried out without a guard point?
Duty room, yes!
He carefully considered the feasibility of this matter for a while, let the two masters work on it first, and took Xiong Bao back home.

After tying Xiong Bao in the yard, he went to the team headquarters.

Spring sowing has ended, and the company will be busy with field management.

To put it bluntly, it means weeding and preventing pests and diseases.

Lu Changhua came to Han Jianhua's office, and the head of the Daejeon team was talking to Lao Han.

Seeing Xiao Lu coming, Director Han said a few more words, sent the people away, and then asked: "Xiao Lu, how is the reservoir now?"

"Director, we are stepping up the construction. If we can send a few more vehicles, the construction period can be shortened a lot."

"I would like to send a few more tractors, but our branch only has two shovels. What's the use of having more tractors?!"

Han Jianhua frowned and said.

He leaned back in the chair and asked, "Tell me, what's the matter with you?"

"Director, everything in the reservoir is normal, don't worry. In order to prevent floods, a simple house needs to be built in the reservoir."

"Yeah, that's right. You have to have a place to stay while on duty. What are your plans?"

"I plan to go to the Changbu Timber Factory to get some board veneer, so that I can build a simple house that doesn't leak."

"Built with boards? Can it be rainproof? If the wind gets stronger, it won't be blown down!"

"Um……"

Han Jianhua pondered for a long time, and then said: "Just go to the brick factory and order some bricks. It's better than using bricks!"

"Ah? That's great, thank you, director."

"They are all doing revolutionary work, why are you thankful?"

"I'll say hello to the maintenance team and arrange for Lao Lu's car to make two trips."

"Ugh."

Originally, Lu Changhua didn't have to worry about pulling bricks. Han Jianhua had already told the brick factory that he would just go to the truck and loader separately.

But Lu Changhua had something hidden in his heart and insisted on following him.

The brick factory is on the west side of the first branch yard, and there are not many people around.

Half of the bricks were piled up like a mountain.

The rubber-tyred truck pulled the trailer and drove into the brick factory.

Lu Changhua jumped out of the car and went to the brick factory office.

The leader of the brick factory is not here, only a statistician is there.

Lu Changhua took out a cigarette, handed him one first, lit it on his own initiative, and thrust the pack of cigarettes into the statistician's hand.

"Comrade, I'm the flood control liaison officer for the three-point field. I want to build a duty room next to the reservoir, so I'm going to trouble you."

"I know about this. The leader has already said hello, pull it, there are bricks over there."

As he spoke, he pointed outward with his hand.

Lu Changhua smiled and took out another pack of cigarettes and stuffed it into his pocket.

"How to build it with all bricks?"

"Oh, there are bricks over there too!"

The man pointed to the side and saw a large pile of neat red bricks.

"Okay, thanks!"

The man shook the hand holding the cigarette and smiled.

Lu Changhua directed the vehicle to drive to the red brick pile and asked the loaders to load the vehicle quickly.

The loader secretly gave Lu Changhua a thumbs up.

The driver, Lao Lu, chatted and spanked with Lu Changhua while leaning on the big rubber wheel.

In more than half an hour, a trailer full of red bricks was loaded.

Lu Changhua waved in the direction of the office, and the car drove out of the brick factory.

The person in the guard room didn't even look at it, just a pack of cigarettes and it was done.

After pulling four large trucks in succession, the red bricks were unloaded at the edge of the dam.

Bulldozers were used to flatten the wasteland where Lu Changhua built his house.

On the second day, the bricklayers and carpenters from the branch site were dispatched to lay out the lines and dig the foundation at the location designated by Lu Changhua.

Sand and cement were also brought to the site.

There are people who dig foundations.

The Datian team sent more than a dozen good guys to dig along the hemp rope for setting out the line.The black and dark land, when you go down with a shovel, the shovel is wet, and you have to dig a few shovels to knock the soil.

This kind of work is not a problem for these young men.

After digging one meter deep, water seeped out of the foundation ditch.

Lay a layer of sand and gravel in the ditch.

Someone brought a wooden rammer, and two people worked in pairs to ram the foundation next to each other.

The sound of trumpets echoed throughout the reservoir, complementing the roar of bulldozers, making the labor scene exciting.

The lunch meal in the cafeteria was delivered in time. Han Ying brought a few girls to deliver the food. By the way, she came to Lu Changhua to tease Xiong Bao and chat with him for a while.

On the second day, the master bricklayer started laying bricks, and the master carpenter measured the dimensions and returned to the carpentry room to make doors, windows and beams.

In just three days, a red brick house facing south, 6 meters wide from north to south and 12 meters long from east to west began to take shape.

When the brick wall reached the eaves, the carpenter set off.

A carriage pulled a triangular house to the scene.

When five roof beams stand on the brick wall, two beams connected together are placed on the roof beams.

The master carpenter sat on the wooden frame and used an ax to drive the homemade nails in the shape of a "door" into the beams and tighten them tightly.

Boards were nailed to the roof, linoleum was laid, and tiles were finally hung.

A ceiling was hung under the roof and stuffed with sawdust and shavings for warmth.

The master bricklayer began to work on the indoor walls, applying mortar and painting with white ash.

The indoor floor is leveled, paved with remaining red bricks, and the joints between the bricks are leveled with fine sand.

After finishing the roof, the carpenter installs the doors and windows.

The bricklayer helped the carpenter find and mend the gaps in the doors and windows.

In about half a month, this red brick house was completed.

There were still some red bricks left, so Lu Changhua asked the master bricklayer to make a fire pit and pot base for him. He also made the fire wall and stove.

This is preparation for winter.

The open space in front of the house was also paved with red bricks under Lu Changhua's command.

This house is so presentable!
Han Ying comes to deliver meals every day. Looking at the red brick house that looks the same every day, the little sisters are whispering around, "I'm afraid Lu Changhua is building a new house for you!"

When Han Ying heard these words, she felt a little enthusiastic, and she had to show her displeasure. It was really a test of her acting skills.

What does it feel like to be secretly happy but unable to express it?I'm afraid only she knows.

Lu Changhua was so preoccupied with directing the reinforcement of the reservoir and the repair of the house that he had no time to care about the little woman's thoughts.

After the house was completed, Han Jianhua came to see it in person.

"Xiao Lu, it's really good. I'm relieved now."

He just said a word, but he didn't expect the house to be so upright.

To the east of the vegetable garden, at the junction with the reservoir, there is a piece of wasteland, which is wet and muddy, and the vegetable garden has not been cultivated, so it has been abandoned.

Now, just a hundred meters past the wasteland, there is a house with red tiles and red bricks, which is eye-catching.

Not bad.

Han Jianhua followed Lu Changhua to the roadside of the reservoir. Ten meters to the south was a small courtyard covered with red bricks.

Although there is no fence around it, it can still be seen that it is carefully designed.

The brick house has three doors.The door to the east is the warehouse, the door in the middle is an office, and the door to the west is the kitchen.

The office is connected to another office to the west, but there is a hot bed.

On the far west side is a kitchen connected to this side by a door.

"That's right, this means staying here for a long time!"

Han Jianhua looked at this pattern and knew that Lu Changhua attached great importance to the reservoir.

"Director, since you asked us to build a brick house, we can't embarrass you. It has to be decent."

The flattery, neither light nor heavy, was very useful to Director Han.

"You don't have electricity here, it's a bit inconvenient."

"We'll talk about the electricity issue later. I think we should prepare some sandbags and tools to prevent the dam from being destroyed by heavy rains."

"Well, you go to the warehouse and ask for some sacks, shovels, and a water pump. As for electricity, I will arrange it."

The two of them were standing in the office talking when suddenly, a thunder exploded, startling both of them.

"It looks like the rainy season is coming."

Han Jianhua muttered to himself.

Lu Changhua went to the warehouse to collect flood control supplies that afternoon, and the warehouse at the east end of the duty room was quickly filled.

The maintenance team sent a vehicle to pull several loads of fine sand and piled them on the edge of the reservoir.

If there is a risk of the embankment overflowing, it must be blocked with sandbags.

The electrician at the branch site has been very busy these two days. He brought the wire from the Pig No. to the southwest of the reservoir.

After all, the water pump requires three-phase electricity, and only the pig's power supply is three-phase, and it is also closest to the reservoir.

We pulled in temporary wires and didn't have time to bury regular telephone poles, so we could only bury seven or eight thigh-thick wooden poles for temporary use.

Rumble, click!

Early in the morning, the sky was overcast with clouds, silver snakes were scurrying around, and lightning, carrying the power of the sky, threw thunderbolts into the world.

"Mom, I'm going to the reservoir to have a look."

"Put on your raincoat."

Mother Lu felt a little panicked when she saw the thunder exploded one after another.

"understood."

Lu Changhua put on his raincoat and rain boots and walked towards the east reservoir.

I hope the rain can lighten up a bit.
