Rebirth 84, starting from fish farming

Chapter 9 Strengthening the Dam
Knowing that Lu Changhua had changed jobs, Lao Lu and Mother Lu didn't say anything.To them, flood control liaison officers seem to be more advanced and their work is easier. They are better than pulling the direction lever, right? !
After dinner, Mother Lu found some decent clothes for her son, Lao Lu’s dark blue tunic suit.

My son is going to take pictures tomorrow, so he can't be careless.

I have bought this dress for two years, and Lao Lu has not been willing to wear it a few times. Seeing Lu Changhua wearing it, looking handsome and unrestrained, Lao Lu grinned.

"Just wear it, I can't wear it at work."

"Dad, I'll take pictures and wear them, and I won't wear them when I come back. I can't work in these clothes!"

Lao Lu thinks about it too.

"As you like."

"Mom and Dad, take this."

Lu Changhua took out a passbook.

"This is your special prize?"

Mom and Dad were all excited.

They had long heard that their son was injured because he won some special prize.In the past two days, my son didn't bring out his bankbook when he came back. Although they were curious, they couldn't tell them directly.Now that their son has been taken out, the old couple feel comfortable that their son belongs to the Gu family after all.

"Mom and Dad, I will use this money next year, so don't spend it!"

Lu Changhua finally warned him.My own parents, you have to say what you need to say in advance, otherwise if it really goes to waste, you will really be blinded by the time.

"Okay, I'll save it for you so you can get a wife!"

Mom snatched it from Lu Zaigao's hand, looked through it, and looked for a place to hide the money with a smile on her face.

Lao Lu shook his head helplessly and said to his son: "Your mother is the head of our family, she has the final say."

Early on the next morning, the machine parts warehouse manager took the rubber-tyred truck to the field headquarters to import parts. Lu Changhua came to the team headquarters early and hitched a ride with them.

Changshui Farm is located in the middle of the farm, thirty miles away from Sanfenchang. You still have to go south to the fork in the road, go east to the farm, and go west to Beining County.

We arrived at the venue at 09:30 in the morning.

The field is located on a hillside.

A large river flows northward across the road on the west side of this hillside.

The road turned a corner on the hillside and went up the south side around the hillside. A north-south road of more than 200 meters was opposite to the yard of the field department.

There is a main east-west road at the site, which intersects with the north-south road going up the mountain outside the government compound.There is a roundabout heading east, where several roads branch out in different directions.

The main units of the site are located on the north and south sides of this east-west main road.

Starting from the far west is the field hospital, which is also next to the edge of the hillside.To the east is the area for government agencies and family members, followed by the field department compound.

On the south side of the main road, facing the agency, is the agency canteen and guest house.

The radio station is on the south side of the guest house.

To the east, on the north side of the road are the post and telecommunications office, communication station, Agricultural Bank of China, and supply and marketing cooperative.

On the south side of the road is the Farm Children Middle School, and further south are the primary schools and kindergartens.

There are various units around the carousel.

The northwest of the turntable road is the supply and marketing cooperative, the southwest is the public security and judicial department, and the southeast is the agricultural machinery repair factory and automobile fleet.

In the northeast, there are grain and oil supply stations, bus terminals, traffic supervision, and police stations.

Further north is the farmer's market of the farm, where small traders and vendors gather, as well as individual restaurants, clinics, shops, etc.

The grain and oil processing plant is on the east side of the market.

The rubber-tired truck stopped at the roundabout, and all the hitchhikers got off and dispersed.

Lu Changhua went directly to the market.

I found Xiangyang Photo Studio, but seeing that it was not open yet, I had to wait outside.

The weather was still cold at this time, and he was wearing thin clothes, so he had to walk back and forth to keep himself from freezing.

Many passers-by felt strange when they saw him wandering back and forth, and no one spoke to him.

Half an hour later, businesses in the market were opening their doors one after another.

After the restaurant opens, the first thing to do is to light the coal stove and open the door.A puff of soot poured out of the door, choking my nose.

In the midst of the soot, a man walked over, lowered himself, opened the iron chain with a clatter, and pushed open the door of the photo studio.

"Master, I'll take a picture. I'll need it this afternoon."

The man looked back at Lu Changhua and said as he walked in, "So urgent? Can't we do it tomorrow?"

"urgent."

"Then we need to hurry up!"

"how much is it?"

"1 yuan for ID photo, 5 cents for expedited service, 1 yuan and 5 cents."

"Row."

This is the only photo studio on the farm, so the price is naturally high. Don’t be too dissatisfied and don’t bargain!
The photo studio is very basic.

As soon as you enter the door, you will see the photo studio.

"Sit there."

Boom, turn on the lights.

Then he stuck his head into a piece of cloth.

Holding a small oval airbag in one hand.

"Look here, look here, smile a little, don't blink, keep your head straight. Okay."

Click.

The lights in front of Lu Changhua's eyes flashed suddenly, and the light was gone.

The master stuck his head out and said, "Come and get it at two o'clock in the afternoon."

Lu Changhua gave the money, took a receipt for taking the photo, and walked out.

At this time, there were gradually more pedestrians on the street.

He originally wanted to go find his eldest brother, but considering the complicated interpersonal relationships in their unit, he decided not to cause trouble and could only go to the supply and marketing cooperative to spend time.

The farm's supply and marketing cooperative is the best place for many people who come to the farm department to spend time.

In the supply and marketing cooperative, small groups of people leaned against the wall, eating melon seeds, smoking and chatting. Anyway, they were comparable to teahouses in the city.

Others were bragging and chatting, but Lu Changhua flipped through the green book and read it to himself.

Strange to say, after reading it for the first time, reading this book is really getting twice the result with half the effort, and soon he read less than half of it.

In the afternoon, Lu Changhua finally got the photo, and then hurried to the government compound.

The water conservancy department is also in the compound.

After asking around a few people, he came to an office with a wooden sign.

After Lu Changhua went in and handed over the relevant documents, the people in the office asked him to sit down.

After checking the relevant documents, they took out a small notebook from the filing cabinet, pasted Lu Changhua's photo on it, stamped it, and handed it to him.

"You will be the flood prevention liaison officer of the three-point field from now on. If there is any situation, call and report it in time. This is the flood prevention knowledge manual. Take it back and read it carefully."

"Ok."

Lu Changhua put the manual into his schoolbag and then asked: "Comrade, is there a weather forecast for this year?"

"The General Administration and the Management Bureau have weather forecasts."

“Will there be floods this year?”

"I can't say for sure now, but we have to nip it in the bud."

As he spoke, the man took out a piece of paper.

Lu Changhua saw the "Weather Forecast Analysis Chart of Black Province for the Next Six Months".

"You can take a copy of this too." "Okay, thank you."

According to forecast analysis, the rainfall in this year’s rainy season is likely to exceed historical levels.

"Well, with this, it will be easier to handle."

When he returned to the branch that day, Lu Changhua went to find Han Jianhua.

"Director Han, I have an urgent matter with you."

In the office, Li Zhenguo and Han Jianhua were discussing the spring broadcast.

Seeing that Lu Changhua was in trouble, he called him in.

"Director Han, I just came back from the Water Conservancy Department. According to the predictions of the General Administration and the Management Bureau, there may be heavy rain, and the rainfall may exceed the historical record."

Lu Changhua took out the prediction chart and handed it to Han Jianhua.

"So, there is a high chance of flooding this year?"

"Ah."

"It's troublesome now."

Li Zhenguo was also a little anxious.

Once waterlogging occurs, all machinery will be unable to reach the ground, and harvesting can only be done manually.

"What should I do?"

"Nip in the bud and prepare early."

"Ah."

The faces of the three of them were a little ugly.

On the second day, Lu Changhua submitted a list.

"Reservoir dam reinforcement project, four bulldozers, 15 days of construction."

"100 shovels and 500 sickles."

"500 sets of raincoats and rain boots."

"Four pumps and 200 meters of hoses."

"Two generators."

Seeing this list, Han Jianhua was overjoyed, he is a talent that can be made.

That night, a branch meeting was held at the team headquarters, and the main leaders of various departments came to participate.

Lu Changhua didn't know what was said at the meeting. Anyway, his father praised his son after he came home.

At the briefing meeting, Director Han praised Lu Changhua and said that Lao Lu had a good son.

In the next ten days, wheat sowing was completed and soybean sowing began.

All the cadres and workers are busy for spring sowing.

Buyers are busy traveling back and forth between counties.

Soon a large amount of supplies were transported back by the truckload.

During this period, Lu Changhua would run to the reservoir every day, and Xiong Bao became his bodyguard.

As soon as May enters, all the ice and snow in the reservoir melts.

He opened the sluice gate and released the water. The water level on the south side of the dam dropped rapidly, leaving only forty or fifty centimeters high.

On May 5, Han Jianhua called Lu Changhua and arranged specific work for him, directing bulldozers to reinforce the dam.

Li Zhenguo took Lu Changhua to the maintenance team.

Two tractors were mobilized, mounted with bulldozers, and handed over to Lu Changhua for command.

Lu Changhua was very happy, it was great.

"Old Lin and Old Tang, their cars are under your command."

"Haha, Xiao Lu, we listen to you this time."

Master Lin said cheerfully.

"It's all revolutionary work, hang up the shovel and go?"

"Walk."

Master Tang looked at Lu Changhua with a smile, "Xiao Lu, may I introduce you to someone?"

"Huh? No, I'm young, I'll talk about it later."

Master Lin and Master Tang both laughed and drove off.

Lu Changhua got into the cab of the tractor again and wandered toward the east reservoir.

After more than ten days of continuous water release, the water in the reservoir was basically drained, leaving only a few depressions with water.

Two bulldozers roared and crawled hard in the reservoir, pushing the mud at the bottom of the reservoir to the shore.

Lu Changhua sat on the dam and read the green book.

For this kind of work, as long as you explain it clearly to the masters, they will do the job better than you, so you don't have to worry about it at all.

Xiong Bao had been unaware of this for a long time and came to Lu Changhua's side to guard him. He stared at the pedestrians who happened to pass by, as if the reservoir was already his home.

At noon, a rubber-tired truck arrived.

A girl waved to Lu Changhua on the carriage.

When the car got closer, he saw clearly that it was Han Ying coming.

"Changhua, it's time to greet the masters for dinner."

"Why are you here delivering food?"

Lu Changhua remembered that Han Ying delivered food to Datian.

"Haha, I switched with them."

Lu Changhua waved at Curry's bulldozer, and the two masters stopped the car and jumped to the dam.

I have to say that these two masters worked really hard.

I didn't stop to use the toilet all morning.

"Come on, let's eat."

The food is good, the staple food is steamed buns, and the dish is eggplant braised pork.

The three of them ate hungrily.

Xiong Bao stopped shouting at Han Ying this time and moved closer with his head shaking.

Both Lao Lin and Lao Tang broke off some steamed buns for it, and Han Ying picked a few pieces of meat and gave it to the gluttonous dog.

He was busy pouring water for the three of them.

"Hey, are we taking advantage of Xiao Lu? This service is beyond praise."

Master Lin is still confused.

"I can eat what you want, you are the only one who talks a lot."

Han Ying glared at Old Tang, "I heard that you are going to introduce someone to Xiao Lu again?"

"Who said that? Framing a good person! Can I do that!"

Old Tang was agitated and hurriedly swore that this would never happen!
Lu Changhua pretended he didn't hear anything.

"The two masters will have to work hard this afternoon!"

"Uh-huh."

They didn't dare to say any more unnecessary words.
