1970 is a little sweet

Chapter 253 Great drought, water shortage

256
Qijia Village is beaming because of the water source.

But there is no other place, even the well in Hujia Village, which is the closest to Qijia Village, can't get water.

The severe drought in TY County this year has become a foregone conclusion.

However, people in Hujia Village heard that there was still water in Qijia Village, and they came to fetch water one after another.

Village head Qi has a headache. If you don't bring water for those people, those people will have no water to eat.But if I agreed, then the water in Qijia Village would not be enough, and the fields were anxiously waiting for water to be irrigated!

Village head Qi has arranged for someone to watch over it, and will not allow people from other villages to carry water for the time being.

The situation was urgent, and village head Qi called a meeting of village cadres.

"Tell me what to do?" Village Chief Qi asked, the whole Qijia Village was concerned, and he couldn't decide by himself.

Qi Shuli thought for a while, and said: "Village chief, if people from other villages are asked to fetch water, there will be no water for irrigation in our village, and there will be no harvest at that time, it is because our village cadres don't do anything!"

When Qi Shuming heard this, he sneered in his heart. Qi Shuli was so resolute because he hoped that the head of Qi would confront the other villages, and if something happened, he could reap the benefits of the fisherman.

"Accountant Qi, what you said makes sense. But don't forget that our Qijia Village is the only one in TY County that has water. As of today, people from three villages have come to fetch water. As the drought intensifies, come to our There are more people fetching water in the village. One village is easy to deal with; two villages are barely enough; three villages, four villages, ten villages..."

"Accounting Qi is also thinking about our village, and doesn't want our village to reduce production. Besides, this is a new society, and this is our village's water source. If we don't allow it, they can still grab it!" Qi Shuqiang turned to Qi Shuli to refute Qi Shuming's words.

Seeing that the two were fighting again, Zhao Dajiao felt annoyed for a while.
"Everyone, don't say a few words. You forget that last winter we had a lot of prey in the back mountain. We wanted to monopolize it. People from other villages came to snatch it. In the end, people were killed. The commune came forward, but it was also for the sake of the overall situation and aimed at other villages. People. This water source is only available in our village. Do you think the commune will support us? Besides, if there is no water, we can’t survive. Who cares about punishment in the future, let’s talk about survival first!” Zhao Dajiao’s words made everyone fell silent.

As a village cadre, you are not a fool, you can think of this situation!
If you can't survive, who would think about punishment!
Furthermore, the law does not blame the public, and in such a situation, the commune has nothing to do!

"Then what should we do now?" Qi Shuming said, "We understand the truth, but there is not enough water!"

"Water is still coming out of our village, which proves that there is a bigger water source down there. Why don't we dig a few more wells?" Qi Shuli suggested that there is no well in Qijia Village because there is a spring at the entrance of the village and no wells need to be drilled.

"This is one way." Village Chief Qi nodded, "Is there any other way?"

Drilling a well is at most enough water for domestic use, but what about irrigation?
Need countless water, where to get it?
"There are still some mountain springs in the back mountain. We can get some water by bringing them down." Qi Shuming suggested to gather all the water that can be collected.

Village Chief Qi nodded and said: "This is also feasible! If we can find enough water sources in the village or behind the mountain, we may still be able to keep this year's harvest, otherwise..."

Village Chief Qi didn't continue, but everyone understood.

When Village Chief Qi returned home, he saw the worried eyes of his wife and daughter Qi Xiaoyan.

"Xiaoyan, I will send you to the county seat tomorrow and let the army take you to Huai City. I won't send you. There are so many things going on in the village, I really can't get away." Village Chief Qi explained that the exam was in time for spring plowing. He didn't have time; he was going to be a soldier, and this kind of thing happened again, and he couldn't leave.

Qi Xiaoyan shook her head and said, "Dad, I know you've been worrying about things in the village recently, so you don't have time to see me off. You don't need to see me off. Brother Dajun will come over tonight and take me to the county town by bike tomorrow."

Hearing that Niu Dajun came to pick up his daughter, Village Chief Qi was slightly relieved, and said, "That's fine, you are outside, take good care of yourself, and don't tire yourself out."

"I see, Dad, the water source in the village..." Qi Xiaoyan asked worriedly, "Will there be a fight?"

"Hey, if you don't handle it well, fights are inevitable." Village Chief Qi said, "Without water and food, we can't live. Who cares so much!"

"Then what should I do?" Qi Xiaoyan was in a hurry, she couldn't let go of her home.

"Don't be afraid, this matter will reach the unit sooner or later, and the unit will talk to me at that time, let's talk about conditions." Village Chief Qi said, "Don't worry about family matters, you can go to the army with peace of mind."

In the army, at least the daughter doesn't have to go hungry.

Qi Xiaoyan smiled and said nothing. If she was too worried, it would make her parents even more worried.

But she was very sad in her heart and felt uncomfortable in her heart, so she secretly came to He Tiantian to talk about what was in her heart.

Only then did He Tiantian realize that the water source of Qijia Village had become the object of competition for other villages!

Hey, longing for good weather, is it that difficult?

"Xiaoyan, you can save some rations when you go out." He Tiantian said, "And you still have salary, you can send it home, or buy food and send it back, which can reduce the burden on the family. Instead of you You can't help here by worrying blindly, it's better to perform well in the unit and make your parents feel at ease and proud."

Qi Xiaoyan nodded with red eyes, "Miss Tiantian, you are right, I should cheer up and not worry my parents, let alone smear them."

After getting relief from He Tiantian, Qi Xiaoyan was in a better mood.Hearing Liang Hongyu's coming and calling, he knew that Niu Dajun was coming.

With Niu Dajun, there is also Niu Dajun's uncle, Niu Peng!
He Tiantian was curious and came with Qi Xiaoyan to listen to Niu Peng's opinions.

If you guessed right, it should be for the water source of Qijia Village!

Niu Peng took a puff of cigarette and said, "Brother Qi, you have to think about the overall situation this time!"

Village head Qi felt sad, and he also wanted to consider the overall situation, but the villagers refused!
"Brother, I am the village head, so I will naturally consider the overall situation." Village head Qi said awkwardly, "Our village had a bumper harvest last year, and every household had food, and selling prey, every household could get a lot of money, so in the unit, They said let us help other villages, and you came to do the work yourself, and everyone agreed. Everyone also understands that if you can’t feed yourself, you should watch others starve to death! But this is different from the prey in the back mountain last year! Our own The fields in the village are not irrigated, so how can people let the water go away!"
