Shi Mingben knocked on the table seriously: "Comrade Zhou Maolin, the Xinqiao Brigade and the Xianji Bridge Brigade are both communist production brigades. The Xinqiao Brigade knows how to find ways to ensure the smooth development of agricultural production, but your Xianji Bridge Brigade does not
Do you know how to do it? You can also raise the dam, raise the water level of the river, and increase the water storage capacity. You let the water in the river flow away in vain, but you don’t know how to find a way to drain the water. You don’t let others do this. You guys
It is an act of sabotaging communist production. I hope your Xianjiqiao Brigade will take this as a warning, otherwise, if you are held accountable, you will have to accept the people’s trial!”
Zhou Maolin was confused by Shi Mingben's words. He didn't understand that Shi Mingben would so obviously side with the Xinqiao Brigade and blatantly defend the Xinqiao Brigade. He was very annoyed and had a lot to say, but at this time he
There was no way to argue. The hat Shi Mingben showed off was too big, and Zhou Maolin couldn't resist. Zhou Maolin didn't know how he walked out of the commune gate, nor how he walked back through the more than ten miles of mountain road.
Arrive at home.
"Secretary Maolin, you went to the commune today, what did the commune say?" Seeing Zhou Maolin returning to the village, militia company commander Xiao Yinshun came over quickly.
Hearing Xiao Yinshun's shout, Zhou Maolin seemed to have recovered from his despair: "Yinshun, hurry up and summon the brigade cadres and the captains of each production team to come over for a meeting."
"Okay, I'll go and notify you right away." Xiao Yinshun immediately ran to inform him.
Zhou Maolin sat down in the Xianjiqiao brigade conference room. He suddenly felt very tired. After being the brigade secretary for more than ten years, he suddenly felt a little powerless.
Half an hour later, brigade cadres and production team captains rushed over one after another.
"Secretary Maolin, what does the commune say about the Xinqiao brigade raising the dam? Today I went to the dam to take a look. Although the people in Xinqiao stopped temporarily, I saw that they were still pounding stones. It seems that Xinqiao
The bridge team has not given up and will definitely continue to raise the dam height." Zhang Fangqing said worriedly.
"Yes, we cannot be careless about this matter. Once we let the Xinqiao Brigade build the dam, it will be like cooking the rice. By then, even if we want to destroy the dam, it will not be so easy."
Zhou Shenghu said.
Zhou Maolin didn't say a word, and kept smoking a cigarette. When everyone in the conference room was seated, Zhou Maolin put down the cigarette rod, cleared his throat, and said, "I went there today.
Commune. The attitude of the commune is to support the Xinqiao Brigade in raising the dam. Let us also raise the dam. Therefore, there is no way to stop the fact that the Xinqiao Brigade will raise the dam. With the support of the commune, the Xinqiao Brigade will definitely
Work in a hurry."
"Then what should we do? The late rice seedlings will be planted soon. Then there will be no water in the river, and our water tanker will no longer be of any use."
Zhou Maolin said: "That's why I called you to come to a meeting and come up with a solution together. The Xinqiao dam can no longer be moved. Shi Mingben has labeled it as sabotaging the revolution for preventing the dam from being built. Who dares to move the Xinqiao dam?"
The conference room suddenly became quiet. Counter-revolutionary! This hat can kill people.
"If the Xinqiao brigade repairs the dam, we can also heighten the dam. In the past few days, all production teams have been dispatched to fill all the rice fields and ponds with water from the river. When Xinqiao has repaired the dam, we will not need to draw water from the river.
The late rice seedlings can be planted by pumping water," Zhang Fangqing said.
"Well, Fang Qing's method is good. But the sun is so hot now. Even if we fill all the rice fields, they will all be evaporated in less than a few days." Zhou Shenghu said worriedly.
"At least we can plant the late rice seedlings. What if it rains? In this situation, we can only take one step at a time. Even if the dam is raised by Xinqiao, it will not be able to block all the river. Wait.
When our rice fields are dry, water should come from the river." Zhou Maolin thought about it and felt that he could not just sit back and wait for death, and Zhang Fangqing's method was still feasible.
The meeting of the Xianji Bridge Brigade has not yet ended, and the dam construction work of the Xinqiao Brigade is already in full swing. Because of the support from the commune, the people of the Xinqiao Brigade are all beaming with joy, and large pieces of bluestone are being built.
The dam was lifted up and piled up.
Yang Fu'an stood on a boulder and shouted arrogantly to the people of the Xinqiao brigade: "Comrades! Today I went to the commune to report on the situation of our Xinqiao brigade's heightening dam to resist drought. Secretary Shi highly praised us.
Xinqiao Brigade’s revolutionary spirit in actively fighting drought. Secretary Shi said that if someone comes to undermine our Xinqiao Brigade’s drought resistance campaign, it will destroy the commune’s agricultural production and is a serious counter-revolutionary act. The commune will seriously criticize and deal with it.
.”
Yang Fu'an looked back at the Xianji Bridge crowd on the hillside not far away who were watching the dam, with a victorious smile on his face.
Downstream, next to the pier of Xianji Bridge, the masses of Xianji Bridge Brigade were carrying a water tanker on the bank of the river. All the young and strong labor force of Xianji Bridge Brigade were organized, and the water trucks of Xianji Bridge Brigade were
All the cars were gathered on the shore, and dozens of water trucks were being set up. The entire Xianji Bridge brigade began to operate like a machine.
The little kids came to the river in groups to watch the fun, and one by one they took off their pants and swam in the river.
The little kids in Xianjiqiao have been swimming in the water since they were young. They are all good swimmers, so the adults don't care about them at all. They even envy these little kids. How free little kids are. I think.
When taking a bath, they would strip naked and jump into the river. Adults were too embarrassed to do this.
The Taoist leader did not go down to the river, but looked at the dam being raised by the Xinqiao brigade people from a distance. The dam had been raised by more than ten feet by the Xinqiao brigade people, but the Xinqiao people were still not satisfied and continued
Prepare to continue to raise the height. To ordinary people, it is just a dam that is being raised, but to the Taoist leader, it seems to be the mouth of a savage beast that is open, ready to choose people and devour them at any time! I don’t know what’s going on.
, the little Taoist priest seemed to feel the threat from that dam. The little Taoist priest even couldn't figure it out, how could a dam give him such a feeling? This dam wouldn't become a spirit, either?
"Little Taoist Priest, what are you looking at? Don't go and fix the dam of the Xinqiao Brigade. You will be labeled as a counter-revolutionary." Xilai swam to Xiao Taoist Priest.
"I just wanted to take a look," the little Taoist priest said.
It was getting dark, but the Xinqiao Brigade and the Xianji Bridge Brigade were not as silent as before. There were torches everywhere on the Xinqiao Brigade dam, illuminating the dam brightly.
Dozens of water trucks from the Xianji Bridge Brigade started working together, pumping water ladder by ladder to the highest pond terraces.
