Rebirth in the leisurely life of the red age

Chapter 123 One million pressurized wells, I, Li Yuan, have countless merits! !

Half a month passed in the blink of an eye, and Sijiu City entered the cold winter.

Liu Guangqi left and went to Shijiazhuang with his wife.

Although Liu Haizhong later continued to seek connections with the leadership, he was ultimately unable to bring his eldest son back.

From that day on, Liu Haizhong became much older and tougher.

In the courtyard, I often heard him beating his two young sons until they screamed...

But life is still getting through after all. Li Yuan lives every day seriously. In addition to constantly enriching and making progress, he also pays attention to the changes of this era...

December 10th, evening.

East Mianmian Hutong, Song Family.

Li Yuan and Lou Xiao'e visited Wang Yamei's house because the Song Dynasty Bureau was treating them.

Li Yuan is already very comfortable in the Song family, and there is nothing embarrassing about coming empty-handed. He eats the Song family's apples crunchily.

Lou Xiao'e and Li Xuemei were also familiar with each other, and she said with a bright smile: "Sister Xuemei, we just saw a group of girls from Xijiang at the entrance of the alley. They are so beautiful!"

Li Xuemei smiled and said, "That's a student from the Xijiang Class of Chinese Opera."

Lou Xiao'e said in surprise: "Yes, I didn't even notice that the drama is in your alley!"

The Chinese Opera is located at No. 39, Mianmian Hutong, east of Nanluogu Lane.

Li Xuemei smiled and said: "They are all handsome men and beauties! But they are nothing in front of your family. You two are both good-looking..."

Lou Xiao'e chuckled, looked back at Li Yuan, and asked, "Have you ever been to the Chinese Opera?"

Li Yuan wondered: "What should I do there?"

Got shot?

Now, not just a few decades later, people are now selected from the provinces and military regions for training, and they are all cadres.

Even with such a background, a few years later they were all assigned to the following...

How dare he provoke it.

Lou Xiao'e was very satisfied and turned around to ask Li Xuemei: "Sister Xuemei, have you seen any big stars?"

Li Xuemei smiled and said: "Does Guo Lanying count?"

Lou Xiao'e said "Wow" and said in surprise: "Of course forget it!"

Guo Lanying was now a household name. She sang "My Motherland" in "Shangganling" and moved hundreds of millions of people.

Li Yuan sat aside and thought about it. Although the location was convenient, before 1983, people basically did not dare to mess around. Those who dared to mess around were taken to target shooting...

So even if he dares to be evil and try to find an eighteen-year-old girlfriend, he will have to wait until he is forty-five...

Forty-five years old... emmm, is he considered to be in the prime of life?

Thinking about it this way, you must take good care of your body!

The great task of collecting medicinal materials cannot stop for a day!

"What bad things are you thinking about again?"

Just as I was making up my mind secretly, a voice of laughter suddenly came to my ears.

Li Yuan turned around and saw Wang Yamei coming in with a plate of pears. They all came forward and looked at him.

Li Yuan called out to Qu: "Aunt Wang, I don't know how good my reputation is! Now there are good people outside, and they all call me Hu Baoyi in the east of the city, Brother Shiyu from Nanluogu Lane. I have done all the good things, and I want to go anywhere. Something bad happened?"

Wang Yamei couldn't hold back her laughter, slapped Li Yuan, and said, "You know how blind you are in just one day! Tell me, why do you want to deal with those green-skinned bastards?"

Li Yuan said cheerfully: "All the people here are patients, and most of them are brought to the door by their mothers... I don't know why, there have been more and more green-skinned gangsters in Ban Yue recently, and fights have become more and more common. We are here It’s okay, outside the Qianmen and Dongzhimen, good guys, you can see a group of people stabbing people with forks in broad daylight..."

"We will deal with them soon. Be honest and don't get into any trouble with them."

Wang Yamei said seriously.

Li Yuan nodded and smiled: "Hey, if I have any trouble with them, I'm just a doctor... Besides, if I just see some minor problems, major stab wounds, etc., I'll send them to the hospital directly and tell them. , Chinese medicine can’t cure this.”

Li Xuemei became interested and asked, "Can it be cured?"

Li Yuan smiled and said: "If it must be cured, it can be cured. Two thousand years ago, the ancestor of Chinese medicine, Hua Tuo, could scrape bones and heal wounds. It is not difficult for us to do some suturing. But such a big wound is involved in the case. , how can I take over? If I'm so indifferent to right from wrong and unclear about good and evil, not to mention the black-faced uncle Song, even my own aunt Wang will have to deal with me! "

"Xu~~"

Li Xuemei teased: "You little flatterer!"

Lou Xiao'e also laughed non-stop.

But Wang Yamei was very satisfied and said: "How can this be called flattery? Yuanzi is naughty, but he has principles to do things! Take these pears away when you leave later and give them to your mother and sister-in-law to eat. Always. I'm busy and don't have time to check on them, how are they doing?"

Li Yuan smiled and said: "It's good! The confinement period is good and the baby is strong."

Wang Yamei asked: "Is there enough food?"

Li Yuan said proudly: "I prepared a lot earlier and stored them in the cellar. It's just enough this time!"

Li Xuemei exclaimed: "You take your wife to eat steamed buns every day and still save food?"

Wang Yamei glanced at her daughter-in-law reproachfully: Where are you making trouble?

Is there still little trouble between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law?

Fortunately, Lou Xiao'e just giggled, while Li Yuan smiled and said: "If you are full of water, she can go back to her parents' house for a big meal every week. She usually eats almost nothing. Nowadays, many rural areas can't even afford cereals and steamed buns. Okay, we’re pretty good.”

Lou Xiao'e felt guilty and helped explain: "When Yuanzi was fifteen years old, he got seriously ill and lay on the kang for more than half a year. His sister-in-law couldn't even breastfeed her own child, so she squeezed out the milk and put it in a bowl to heat. He drank, and he ate all the delicious food of the whole family, so he was saved. Although my mother-in-law's family is poor, the hearts of the people are very harmonious."

Wang Yamei nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, your uncle Song has been to your house several times. When he comes back, he always praises your father for his good management of the family. Such a big family is well organized and not as upright as in the military camp."

Li Xuemei said with a smile: "Your Uncle Song is going to be promoted, and you are also a hero."

Li Yuan was pleasantly surprised: "Is it approved by the pressurized well project?"

Before Wang Yamei and Li Xuemei could say anything, Song Ting's rough and loud voice came from outside the door: "Approved!"

Li Yuan and others hurriedly got up, Li Yuan smiled and said: "Uncle Song, you have done a great deed!"

Song Ting changed from his previous low and reticent, he laughed and said, "Are you praising yourself or me?"

Li Yuan smiled happily and said: "Of course I'm complimenting you! Pressure wells have been around for many years, and I didn't invent them. If you report the matter, if we can drill wells on a large scale, that will solve a big problem!"

Song Qing took off his big cap, nodded with Lou Xiao'e, then looked at Li Yuan and said: "Yes, it has been around for many years, but no one can think of it. It was you, a young doctor studying medicine, who thought of it. The Ministry of Metallurgy has officially established the project. , a pilot project will be implemented in North China, and 10,000 pressurized water wells will be drilled first. If feasible, one million pressurized wells will be drilled in the eight northern provinces before and after spring plowing next year. Steel is being made everywhere this year, and the local steel produced There is no place to use it, now there is a place to use it.”

"A million people?"

Li Yuan's eyes brightened immediately, one million wells, even if one well can only take care of ten mu of land, it can irrigate ten million mu of farmland!

How many people can be saved behind this!

I, Li Yuan, am truly blessed with countless merits!

Although it can't change the fate of great people, it can't change the trend of big history...

But it's better than him traveling through it once, watching his compatriots die and being helpless.

With this contribution, his conscience can be at ease.

Tsk-tsk, Li Yuan said somewhat dissatisfied: "Actually, one million pressurized wells can only relieve a small part...Of course, it's better than nothing."

In the memory of his previous life, almost every household in the countryside had a pressurized water well, so one million pressurized water wells sounded like a lot, but they were really scattered across the land of the motherland, and that was all.

It is difficult for the people of later generations to imagine that in the countryside in the 1950s, most of them depended on the sky for food...

There is hardly any concept of drilling wells to pump groundwater to irrigate fields.

Firstly, it is difficult to dig a well, and secondly, if we rely on primitive wooden barrels to irrigate the field with buckets of water, we will not be able to irrigate half of the land even if we are exhausted...

But the pressurized well is much stronger, and it can be pressurized by a lever, and the groundwater can be continuously drawn up by using negative pressure.

Children aged five or six can do it, and so can old people in their seventies and eighties.

In this way, the labor force is greatly increased.

According to the current labor enthusiasm, after a pressurized well is dug, it is estimated that basically there will be no rest for 24 hours.

Song Qing laughed and said: "You kid, you are louder than me! If the effect is really that good, naturally it won't be a matter of a million people. By then, there will be no need to use the Ministry of Metallurgy to promote it, and the provinces will do it on their own initiative. here we go."

Li Yuan regretted: "In the final analysis, we can only guarantee that the harvest will not stop. After all, water is pumped manually and it is difficult to flood the water."

The more severe the drought, the more water the crops lack. Normally, the ground should be watered thoroughly for the crops to grow.

But pressure wells obviously cannot do this. At most, they can try to prevent the crops from dying due to drought. The output will definitely be greatly affected, and the output will be reduced a lot...

Wang Yamei said happily: "Okay, okay! Don't look at what the drought is like down there. Now as long as we can guarantee that the harvest will not stop, it will be a great achievement! There is such a shortage of food in the Four-Nine Cities, let alone other places ...Yuanzi, if the pressure well is really used next year, your Uncle Song will not deny your credit..."

"No, no, no!"

Li Yuan said cheerfully: "Don't! Aunt Wang, I'm not here to show off. I'm only twenty years old, and I'm already a clerk in the second and fourth levels of administration. I'll be evaluated again next year and I'll be a third-level clerk." I'm a doctor. Why do I need such a high rank? If I really want to be an official, I won't apply for the Chinese medicine exam.

Moreover, others don’t know it, and you two don’t know it either. I just had an idea and I don’t have any other credit.

Really, Uncle Song, you can arrange this matter however you want, just don't sneak me out.

I just want to treat people safely and be a good doctor for the people! "

After hearing his machine gun-like beeps, Song Zheng and Wang Yamei laughed again, looking at this kid with friendly eyes.

This is also the reason why the two old brothers like Li Yuan so much. How can they not like such a young man after seeing many people who are obsessed with climbing up and focusing on working in the camp?

To be a good doctor of the people, this sentence hit the minds of both of them.

Pay more attention to such children, they dare to pat their chests in front of great men and ensure that they have a clear conscience!

Even an old-fashioned old man like Song Zheng laughed, nodded and said: "Being able to study and work down-to-earth is a good example for young people! Xiao Li, your parents raised you very well and you are very good! Okay, If you don't want this credit, just put it on your father's head. He was originally an old official and party secretary. He is probably going to the commune this time and is responsible for the promotion of pressurized water wells. Let's not talk about this... you How did you learn from Lao Zhang?"

Li Yuandao: "Very good. Master taught me very carefully and told me many stories about the northern battlefield...Uncle Song, my master and you both joined the army together. How could he still go to the northern battlefield and come back?" Become a warehouse keeper?"

Song Qing sighed and said: "His arm was blown off as early as the eight-year war of resistance. After the northern battlefield began, Lao Zhang's two sons were called back from the unit and sent to the battlefield. They all... sacrificed one after another. After the news came back, Lao Zhang made a request to go to the battlefield. No one said it was useless. He also directly found the old leader and either shot him or let him go. There was no other way but to Let him get on.

With one arm and a single knife, he goes to the battlefield at night, and comes back to sleep at dawn, and kills a lot of people in the north!

He originally had two special merits, but later because he committed suicide without permission, seven or eight old American officers had him chopped alive, his intestines taken out and fed to wild dogs, just like what they did to his son. That way...

Unexpectedly, this incident was photographed by Western reporters, causing a big fuss.

The Zhengzhi Department brought the lawsuit to Zhisi. If the old chief hadn't come forward, he would have to be shot.

After being sent back, Lao Zhang was also satisfied and guarded the warehouse for the troops.

Xiao Li, Lao Zhang seems to be smiling, but in fact he seldom talks, and he doesn't talk much when we are with our old comrades in arms.

If he can tell you this, it means that he likes you. If you are free, go see him more. "

Li Yuan nodded, then asked after a moment of silence: "Then Master, do you have any other relatives?"

Sending two sons to the battlefield with his own hands, both of them died in the end, and the sacrifice was so tragic, how much pain a father has to suffer in his heart!

Zhang Dongya looked like Maitreya and smiled all day long, who would have thought that it would be like this...

Li Yuan's mood was extremely complicated and a little uncomfortable.

Song Qing said in a low voice: "Yes, the two sons are actually married and have children, a grandson and a granddaughter. But the two daughters-in-law blame him, and he feels guilty about them, so they basically stop interacting with each other. Every month All of Lao Zhang’s wages were sent to them. They didn’t accept them at first, but then we came forward and persuaded them to accept them, for the sake of the children.”

Wang Yamei sighed and said: "It's true for Lao Zhang. Back then, both of his sons were working in the unit, and they were still doing logistics. They were not lazy. During the war, logistics work was really busy and tiring. This was not enough. I had to do it. Just send it to the battlefield, no wonder the daughter-in-law doesn't want to..."

Song Qing shouted in a deep voice: "What are you talking about? What's wrong with being sent to the battlefield? All the sons of great men have been sent, but our son can't go?"

Li Yuan whispered: "Uncle Song, your eldest brother and the others also sent them up?"

Song Qing snorted and said disdainfully: "What's the use of sending it up? Not to mention special merit, not even a first-class merit, just two second-class merits. The third one is even more useless, and he didn't even fire his gun a few times. Just come back!"

Wang Yamei was unhappy, and said: "What's wrong with the second-class merit? Second-class merit is not merit? Besides, when the third child went up, the fifth battle was over, and both sides began to negotiate. Can you blame him?"

Song Ting didn't bother to pay attention, and said to Li Yuan: "I will ask your aunt Wang to give you some money and tickets later, and you can find time to visit Lao Zhang's grandson. I heard that you often buy sauced beef for Lao Zhang? With your little salary, I keep sending it home, so don’t pretend to be fat. Your Aunt Wang will get you a copy later... sit down!"

Li Yuangang stood up and wanted to refuse, but Song Qing shouted in a deep voice and sat down again.

Wang Yamei also smiled and said: "You child, Xiao'e is unlucky if she follows you! Is it ridiculous for such a beautiful bride to follow you to eat bread?"

Li Xuemei was laughing next to her. Her family was considered a military family. They even ate in a very strict manner on weekdays. She had never seen such a naughty boy.

Li Yuan said truthfully: "Aunt Wang, let me tell you the truth. My father-in-law actually gave me a second yard, which is on the side of Beixincang, next to my master's warehouse. There are some rice noodles in it. , we went over there at noon and she slept there, and I went to Master’s place to practice martial arts, and before going home in the evening, we also turned over and had a meal with white noodles.

Uncle Song and Aunt Wang, we didn't want to talk about this originally because we were worried that someone would use Xiao'e's background as an excuse. The name of a capitalist's daughter is too ugly. Eating more steamed buns can help her avoid being ostracized by her neighbors in the yard. But today we have to talk about this matter. You two are both old leather men. How can I get your money?

This will not work, this will not work, this will definitely not work. Master, then I can think of my own way..."

Song Ting laughed loudly, and said: "Good boy! I didn't misunderstand you, but I dare to tell the truth! Do you think your yard can hide from me? I don't even think about what I do! Even your old father-in-law I know I gave you a month’s worth of firewood, rice, oil and salt!”

Li Yuan was startled, looked at Song Qing and said, "Uncle Song, do you know this? You...you don't think of me as a spy, do you?"

"How to talk!"

Wang Yamei patted him and blamed him.

Song Qing smiled and said: "What's wrong with investigating you? You have made such a big noise in a year, and you can see Hubaoyi's name in the east of Chengdong by giving free medical treatment. Can the relevant departments not keep an eye on you? But? The more those who stare at you, the more they admire you, saying that young people like you are the hope of our country's future! Your family has such a large population, and your father-in-law's family has made so many contributions, so just keep that yard. But you have to accept the money and tickets I gave you. I haven’t got the habit of letting the younger generation spend money on affairs, so stop talking and eat!”

What else could Li Yuan say, he could only accept it...

Helpless!

There's nothing I can do about it, I'm so lovable...

However, he has been thinking about Zhang Dongya's family affairs in his heart, thinking about inquiring about it secretly, let's help from the side...

Women in this age need to have a lot of backbone and a lot of toughness.

He wanted to say that because it was Zhang Dongya's disciple who came to help him, he ordered that even the house was not allowed to enter...
