The Sweetness of the Seventies

He Tiantian didn't have time to remember her fallen love in her previous life, so she received the village chief's mobilization and began to organize everyone to plow the river (build water conservancy) and remove the silt from the river to facilitate irrigation in the coming year. Some places need to be heightened for flood control, and some places need to be reinforced...

It's autumn now and it must be done before winter. The construction period is very tight, and it takes twenty days.

It is ten miles away from Qijia Village. We go there in the morning and come back in the evening. We have lunch at the construction site. In addition to providing lunch, I can earn 50 cents and 40 taels of food every day.

Although this work is tiring, it can make money and food, so many people are willing to do it. Wang Lei and Zhang Qingshan went there last year. Not only could they have a full meal, but they could also earn some money back. They were very happy.

Village Chief Qi has organized 150 people in the village and will take them there early tomorrow morning. As for the tools, Village Chief Qi and Director Zhao also made statistics. They all came from the villagers' homes and had people bring them.

After the final mobilization, everyone was in high spirits.

Except He Tiantian!

Because the distance is not very far, I get up early every morning to go to work and walk back in the evening. Not only was the work hard, the journey back and forth was also too long. Even though He Tiantian was not happy, she was still among the candidates for Pahe.

When I went to work this time, there were not only quotas for heavy work, but also for lighter tasks such as cooking or working on the shore.

Village Chief Qi was too embarrassed to give all these places to his close relatives, so it was He Tiantian's turn to cook.

In a village, a lot of things are used for the lunch meal, and it must be cooked well so that everyone can eat well.

Although cooking on the shore is tiring, compared to those who work barefoot at the bottom of the river, He Tiantian feels that it is already very good.

Early in the morning, He Tiantian and Qi Xiaoyan followed everyone to work in the Erdaogouzi River section ten miles away.

"Sister Tiantian, it's so far, I'm tired of walking." Qi Xiaoyan whispered before she reached the place. Every day there was a round trip of twenty miles.

He Tiantian smiled and said: "Your father didn't let you come, but you insisted on coming. Now that the quota has been registered, you have to go. Besides, everyone is not walking fast, so just follow them slowly, and I'm with you."

Qi Xiaoyan was a little tired, but not too tired to get up, so she just complained to He Tiantian.

"The two of us are responsible for the meals for more than 150 people today. I don't know if we can handle it." Qi Xiaoyan looked at the two large pots and large steamers used by the production team on the oxcart in front, with a little worry.

"What are you afraid of? In addition to us, there is also Director Zhao. I heard that she is often responsible for such work and will arrange it. The two of us are just two little handymen. We only need to be responsible for the work. ." He Tiantian comforted, "We are young people and we need to be energetic. We don't want to start worrying before things happen."

Qi Xiaoyan can always be encouraged after listening to He Tiantian's words. This is why Qi Xiaoyan likes to get along with He Tiantian. They are full of positive energy!

It was gray when we set out in the morning, but when we arrived at Erdaogouzi, it was already full of daylight. In the morning, everyone ate at home casually. Village Chief Qi took people to the two-kilometer river channel assigned to Qijia Village.

A wooden board was inserted on the ground with "Qijia Village" written on it.

"Okay, stop here." Village Chief Qi said loudly, "Director Zhao, take a few people and set up a cooking shed. Someone will deliver food here in a while."

Director Zhao smiled and said: "Village Chief Qi, don't worry, I know how to do all this. Just take the people to work with peace of mind. I will make sure everyone eats and drinks well at noon."

He Tiantian looked around and saw that it was still the place where the river was dug in her previous life, but this time it was two hundred meters longer than before.

This is a large river about fifteen meters wide and seven or eight meters deep. It is shallow on both sides and very deep in the middle. There are many yellow water plants in it. Now it is only about three or four meters wide. This river is the main river in Taoyuan County, and irrigation comes from this river every year.

This is one of the reasons why the commune attaches so much importance to the river.

These tasks are assigned to each village. If you finish them early, you can go back early. Arrangements were made with the two village cadres, and Village Chief Qi personally led people to work in the river.

Director Zhao found two laborers and began to build a shed of more than ten meters. He also found gravel nearby and built two earthen stoves. He smeared the outside with mud and let it dry for a while before it could be used at noon.

Director Zhao had just put two big pots on it, and the commune came to distribute food. The lunch portion today is 4 taels of flour for men and 3 taels for women, as well as a big radish, white onions, a little oil, a little salt, green onions, ginger and garlic.

"Sweet girl, Xiao Yan'er, you two quickly take the big basin to the creek over there and wash it. I want to make the dough." Director Zhao said, "After cleaning the basin, bring a basin of water over there. , just for cleaning the pot.”

"Yes, Director Zhao." He Tiantian and Qi Xiaoyan agreed, carrying the super large wooden basin and walking towards the stream.

The creek is very clear, and small fish can be seen in the river from time to time.

He Tiantian thought to herself that if she had time later, she could catch some fish and make soup for everyone to try.

He Tiantian and Qi Xiaoyan were both clean and diligent girls. They quickly cleaned the big basin and brought over a basin that was almost full of water.

"Pour the water into the pot, just leave a little." Director Zhao said, "I'm going to start making dough. After washing the pot, you can carry these steamers over and brush them."

Qi Xiaoyan and He Tiantian followed Director Zhao's requirements and worked seriously. In a short while, the ten-story steamer was cleaned.

"Look, Sister Tiantian, there are fish in the river." Qi Xiaoyan said in surprise, "If we have a fishing net, we can catch them and cook them for soup."

"It's useless today. We didn't use fishing nets. After we go back in the evening, we will look for fishing nets and catch fish tomorrow." He Tiantian suggested, "I just heard Director Zhao say that for lunch, we will eat white flour steamed buns, stir-fried radish and stewed cabbage. If We catch fish and make fish soup so that everyone can eat more."

"Yes, fish soup is better than boiled water!" Qi Xiaoyan agreed. Every year when he went home from the river, his father was very tired and had to rest for a long time before he could rest. If we can eat better, maybe everyone can be stronger and recover faster.

When the two of them came back carrying the ten-story steamer, Director Zhao was already kneading and proofing the noodles.

"You two go to the nearby woods to find some dry firewood. It will be used in half an hour. You two, hurry up." When Director Zhao saw the two coming back, he immediately ordered He Tiantian and Qi Xiaoyan to do something.

Although it is not a heavy job, it cannot be idle.

But that's fine, they can't rest on the bank while others work in the river. Everyone can see you busy working, and no one will gossip.
