Rebirth in 1976 begins with educated youth

When Liu Yan returned to the village, it was already five o'clock in the afternoon.

Fan Yanping, Huang Guozhu and others were all at the brigade headquarters and seemed to be discussing things.

Seeing Liu Yan coming back, Fan Yanping immediately called him over: "How is it? What's the attitude of the County Water Conservancy Bureau?"

"The matter of releasing the water is basically done. The Water Conservancy Bureau has agreed to release the water!" Liu Yan picked up the teapot on the table and took a sip of water, then said.

"Really?"

"Well, I went to the reservoir with Director Sun of the Water Conservancy Bureau in the afternoon, and I just separated from him. That's right!"

"Did Director Sun say when the gate would be opened?" Fan Yanping asked next.

"If nothing else happens, I can do it tomorrow!"

"Tomorrow, so soon?"

"Dad, the drought has become like this. Are you still too quick?"

"No, I just said that casually! Isn't it important to do research these days..."

"The most important question at the moment is, how has the work of dredging and dredging the irrigation canals of each of our production teams been completed?" Liu Yan asked.

Huang Guozhu heard this, knocked on the dry pot and replied: "Most of the production teams have done well, and have basically completed 70% of the progress.

However, in the case of several production teams, it is estimated that 30% do not have it! "

"That's not possible. No matter what, we must let them clear it overnight today! Otherwise, once the water is released..." Liu Yan said in a deep voice.

Fan Yanping interrupted Liu Yan: "There's no need to be so anxious, right?!

Even if water is released from the reservoir, at most one or two gates can be opened to irrigate one or two villages.

Other production teams waited until the gate was opened to clean and dredge it, and there was enough time! "Fan Yanping said.

"Dad, as expected, eight sluice gates will be opened at the same time this time. By then, there will be no time to wait for them to temporarily unblock the irrigation canal!

Once you miss this opportunity, there is nothing you can do to remedy it. After passing this village, this store will no longer exist. "

"All eight gates are open? Why is this?" Fan Yanping and Huang Guozhu exclaimed at the same time.

Regarding the hidden dangers of Pingshan Reservoir, Liu Yan could not tell Fan Yanping.

He paused and said in a deep voice: "Dad, Captain Huang, because the Water Conservancy Bureau wants to take the opportunity of opening the gate to release water to conduct a comprehensive overhaul of the Pingshan Reservoir.

Therefore, they must drain more than half of the water in the reservoir as quickly as possible in the shortest possible time so that they can carry out maintenance operations. Do you understand what I mean? "

Liu Yan knew very well that the danger of Pingshan Reservoir was now obvious.

Under the urgent circumstances, for the county water conservancy bureau, and even for the senior officials of Yongfeng County as a whole, drought resistance, harvest protection, and fishery production are no longer the most important.

What they are more concerned about is that the Pingshan Reservoir may suddenly burst at any time, which is an issue related to the safety of thousands of people's lives and property downstream of the reservoir.

After all, if food production is reduced or fishery production is affected, these are all natural disasters, and the superiors will not hold the county leaders responsible for this.

However, once the reservoir breaks its banks, it will be a real man-made disaster and a management issue.The above will never turn a blind eye!

Therefore, under such a general background, the county will inevitably ask the Water Conservancy Bureau to release floods and investigate as soon as possible, and assess the safety level of the reservoir as soon as possible.

If every inch of farmland of every production team in the Yuanping Brigade wants to be exposed to this wave of water, they must make all preparations for irrigation as soon as possible.

Hearing what Liu Yan said, Fan Yanping and Huang Guozhu immediately understood.

Fan Yanping immediately said: "Then let the commune members repair the irrigation canals overnight."

Then he turned to Huang Guozhu and said, "Comrade Guozhu, arrange the task as soon as possible! Everyone must be prepared."

"Yes!"

"In addition, find a few agile young people to rush to other production teams immediately and tell them that the irrigation canals must be repaired overnight!"

Then, Fan Yanping added: "Tell the production captains that I will inspect each team early tomorrow morning.

If any production team fails to complete its tasks, I will remove them from the position of captain! "

"Yes!"

"Okay, let's go get busy!"

Afterwards, Fan Yanping walked to the broadcast room of the brigade headquarters with a dry tobacco pot!

Soon, Fan Yanping's steady and strong voice sounded from the loudspeaker in the village: "Members, please pay attention. All members, please pay attention. Please gather at the brigade headquarters immediately..."

Under normal circumstances, production teams rarely work at night.This situation usually only occurs when the fields are watered in the summer and during the harvest in the fall.

Therefore, when the members heard the notice, most of them were stunned and didn't know what happened, and rushed to the brigade headquarters.

However, when they heard the news that the gates would soon be opened to release water to irrigate the fields, their faces couldn't help showing excitement and happiness.

Although repairing irrigation canals is not an easy job.However, compared to waiting for rain, this work is nothing to them.

No matter how hard and tiring it is, as long as we can ensure a food harvest in the fall, we will do it.

As long as there is a good harvest in autumn, we can ensure that we will not go hungry in winter!

For ordinary people, poverty and hunger are memories rooted in their bones and melted in their blood for generations.

Isn't it just to get rid of the fear and panic that comes from the depths of the soul that you work hard day and night?

During this period, it has not rained. Many people have begun to worry about how they will survive this winter.

Some people have already started going up the mountain to dig wild vegetables and peel tree bark in preparation for winter.

Although Yongfeng County cannot be said to have nine droughts in ten years, it will suffer from droughts for at least three years in ten years.

Therefore, when members of the older generation see the situation this year, they know that the situation is not optimistic.

In the past, when encountering this kind of situation, if there was water on the other side of the creek in the village, the water from the creek would be used to irrigate the land to fight drought.

However, this year, the amount of water in Xiaohewan is also seriously insufficient. It is almost drying up, and there is no hope at all.

Therefore, everyone can only pray to God for rain soon, and there is no other way!

As for the Pingshan Reservoir upstream, they had no hope at all.

Since the reservoir was built, water has been released several times.

However, due to the severe lack of rainfall in Yongfeng County in recent years, the water level of the Pingshan Reservoir has continued to drop every year, and the gate has not been opened to irrigate the fields for several years.

However, what they never expected was that this year the reservoir actually agreed to release water for them to fight the drought. This made everyone extremely happy!

Once the reservoir is released, there will be enough water for crops to be irrigated and enough to last until the next rainfall.

In this way, we can basically ensure a bumper harvest this year.

Therefore, the members who received the news did not even bother to eat dinner, so they hurriedly accepted the tasks and went to work happily.
