Chapter 80: Pressurizing a Water Well? What a Great Achievement! (Fourth Update! Please Give Me a Monthly Vote!)

Song Ying suddenly asked with concern: "Xiao Li, is your family okay now?"

Yingbi had suffered from drought this year, and the yield per mu was less than 200 kilograms, which was considered to be some life-saving food left for the team. After the autumn harvest, he led the whole village, young and old, to dig wild vegetables, dry them, catch fish, pickle fish, and hunt wild animals... Relatively speaking, the situation is much better. Other places... Let's not talk about it, it's annoying. "

Song Ying praised: "Your father is a good party secretary."

Li Xuemei asked with concern: "People in your village are very grateful to him, right?"

Li Yuan smiled and said: "Thank you? When he was dragged to the commune to be criticized before, many people in the village jumped up and down and wanted to knock him down. Fortunately, he was scolded by the elders in the village and became more honest. Recently, those people looked at other production teams and the situation in Qinjiazhuang, and they knew the consequences, so they all ran to my house to apologize to my father. My father didn't say anything, but when organizing people to dig pressure wells, he asked them to do some heavy work. "

"Digging pressure wells? "

Song Ying suddenly grasped the point and asked.

Li Yuan nodded and said, "My father thinks that this year's drought lasted for half a year, and it may not be better next year. If there is another drought, it will be a big trouble. So he organized the members of the production team to use the free time after the autumn harvest to repair water conservancy. They didn't expect to dig a well, and the country was not rich enough to send diesel engines and water pumps to the production team.

Just dig a pressure well, dig seven or eight meters down, and after opening up the water vein, you can manually draw water. The effect is definitely not comparable to a machine well, but it is better than not consuming oil or electricity, and even children at home can press it. Pour it bucket by bucket, as long as there is manpower, there will be water. Although the water is small, it is better than nothing. "He roughly explained the principles and needs of the pressure well.

Song Ying and Wang Yamei looked at each other and both felt incredible!

Song Ying said loudly: "This is a great thing. "

Although Li Xuemei didn't understand, she also sighed on the side: "Yuanzi, your family is full of capable people. "

She didn't know that this idea was proposed by Li Yuan to the family...

This was a great era, when the country was built from poverty and ruins.

It was also an era of rigid thinking.

The technology of water-pressing wells actually existed as early as the Song Dynasty, when they were made of wood.

But in Shenghai at the beginning of this century, iron water-pressing wells were already in use.

But it was not until the late 1970s and early 1980s that they began to circulate on a large scale in rural areas, including the rural areas of Tianshan Province in western Xinjiang, where almost every household had a water-pressing well.

How much more advanced was the level of science and technology in the 1970s than it is now?

Li Yuan couldn't draw a prize that could change the course of history, but he could still use some memory and common sense to do some practical things...

Song Ying held Li Yuan's hand and said, "Xiao Li, if your father's water-pressing well is successful, please let me know. Because it can save too many people's lives! ”

The material requirements for water pressure wells are not high, and the shit-like earth steel refined this year may be able to be used.

If it can really succeed, it will be a great joy!

Li Yuan is confident in his heart. Now it is not decades ago. The development and utilization of groundwater is basically at zero.

And this year is the first year of the drought. There was no shortage of water in previous years. Even if the groundwater level has dropped, it has not dropped much.

In July next year, there will be another major flood in the capital area, and the groundwater resources for the next two years will be sufficient.

So this water pressure well is very likely to achieve great success.

Even if it cannot change the trend of the drought, as long as it can earn more food for the people, it is also a great achievement!

Although Li Yuan has two generations Zidu is just an ordinary citizen, but the blood relationship among compatriots is really not just a casual talk.

He is eating well here, but so many compatriots are starving to death outside, and he doesn't feel the same way...

Having made such a great contribution, Li Yuan thought that he was worthy of the people and the country, after all, he was just an ordinary citizen.

Next, he can live his life with peace of mind.

This matter is a redemption for both others and himself...

...

When Li Yuan returned to the courtyard, it was already 7:30 in the evening.

Sure enough, there were no patients queuing up, and the courtyard was much quieter today.

Li Yuan went to the third uncle's house first. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Yan Bugui drinking alone with a few peanuts. He smiled and said, "Third uncle, you are so elegant. It's said that you know how to live, drinking a little wine and eating crispy peanuts... Third uncle, it's true that only you can help me. "

Yan Bugui was so upset that he smiled bitterly and said, "Yuanzi, look at your uncle, he makes 27.5 yuan a month..."

"Yes, yes, yes..."

Before he finished complaining, Li Yuan smiled and stopped him, "I believe you made 27.5 yuan when you first started working, but you still keep it for so many years? I won't lend you much this time, just this amount!"

Looking at Li Yuan's raised palm, the third aunt who came out of the inner room blinked and said, "50 cents?"

Yan Bugui laughed and said, "What are you talking about? Yuanzi, I... Well, okay, five yuan is five yuan, no more. Yuanzi, it's you, I won't lend it to anyone else!" After lending out five yuan, it's easy to ask for work, so happy!

Yan Jiecheng hurriedly said, "Dad, Brother Yuanzi said fifty! ”

He felt that five yuan was too little and he couldn’t afford it. Fifty would be much better!

Li Yuan shook his hands and said, “Not more, five hundred.”

Negative emotions from Yan Bugui, Wang Guizhi, Yan Jiecheng, Yan Jiefang, and Yan Jiekuang +188+288+488+588…

Li Yuan said in his heart that he has just stirred up a hornet's nest, how much he will be hated.

Yan Bugui shook his head so fast that he almost threw away his tortoiseshell glasses, and said repeatedly: "No, no, no, my family can hardly afford food, where can we get five hundred yuan?"

Li Yuan didn't bother, just sighed and said: "That's too bad..."

The third aunt asked with concern: "Why do you need so much money all of a sudden?"

Li Yuan frowned and said: "The situation in the countryside is getting more and more difficult. There are not even many mixed noodles in the big pot of rice. There are too many people in my family, and I will soon have several more nephews and nieces. It doesn't matter if you are hungry. , but how can the child be hungry? Besides, adults can’t be hungry, otherwise the child won’t be able to feed him without milk. So I thought about borrowing some money and seeing if I could find a job in the factory. One by one. This is a matter of survival!”

Lao Yan: "..."

Did this kid predict it?

Yan Bugui was also bitter, but he didn't say anything about the relationship, but asked: "Then why did you donate both the betrothal gift and the betrothal gift?"

Li Yuan sighed and lowered his voice: "Isn't it because Jia Zhang loves to blame others? My family is very poor, but Jia Zhang has a poisonous mouth! Others don't know the risks involved, but you don't know? So? , my family definitely can’t save money, and we don’t want to save money.

That radio is so good. Isn’t it comfortable to listen to it while lying on the kang at home? Why show it to everyone?

Again, my family is proletarian, no one can label us!

But now that my reputation is good, I don’t have to worry about being bullied, and it’s really hard to spend money!

Third uncle, how about I borrow three hundred from the first uncle, two hundred from the second uncle, and you can borrow... one hundred and fifty!

I guess Li'er can almost get a regular job. He can bring my fifth brother and his family here. He has many children, so it's best if he can eat commercial food. The children will also be given tickets for milk replacer powder..."

Yan Bugui smiled bitterly and said: "Yuanzi, it's not that the third uncle doesn't help you, I really don't!"

After Li Yuan was silent for a while, he said: "Sure, the third uncle is an honest man. If you say no, then I won't. I will go and look elsewhere. If it doesn't work, there is nothing we can do. Ezi and I will reduce the rations a little more, and often Please send me two more food."

Hearing the misery he said, the three aunts couldn't bear it and said: "Yuanzi, it's too difficult for you. Who can afford to drag dozens of people by yourself? If you can't do it, go to your old father-in-law's house and ask for help. . Even if you pull out all your hair, your legs will be thicker, right?"

Li Yuan shook his head and said: "Third aunt, there are some things you don't know, but Third uncle and Jie Cheng must understand. Ezi and I got married because we were in love and were willing to become a couple. But her family's money I can’t get a penny from it. This is a matter of principle and cannot be compromised.”

The third aunt was stunned, but Yan Bugui nodded and praised: "Yuanzi is a sensible person. It is true that her family's money can be touched less, so it is best not to touch it."

Yan Jiecheng also nodded heavily and said, "Brother Yuanzi is right."

Li Yuan smiled smartly and said: "It's okay. It really doesn't matter. I just have no choice but to do my best." After a pause, in the eyes of the Yan family who expressed admiration and sympathy from the middle-level officials but also gloated about their misfortune, he added: "It really can't be done. I If we bring Ezi to the third uncle’s house for a couple of meals, the third uncle can’t let us go, right?”

Yan Bugui: "..."

It’s broken, I’m thinking about it again!
