"Why are we worried about this? We just think about what we will plant when the time comes."
Su Yuanyuan sighed, "I can't grow anything except cabbage and radish. I can't grow anything else."
Both of them were fine in the afternoon. Su Yuanyuan gave Tan Shaoting half of the food, goldfish and money.
Tan Shaoting was not particularly happy that Su Yuanyuan calculated so clearly, but Su Yuanyuan thought it was good.
"In the future, if we have something, we will separate it directly, so as to save trouble in the future.
Brothers still have to settle accounts openly."
Although Tan Shaoting was unhappy, he didn't say anything.
The next day, Ma Changshun came over and informed them that they would start digging the reservoir tomorrow and provide three meals a day, and they would also receive wages.
This is not bad, but Su Yuanyuan knows that even if she is in charge of food, it will not be very good. Whether she can eat enough is a problem.
But you can't ask this question. You have to work whether you have enough to eat or not.
"Team Leader Ma, will the soil have to be carried on your back by then? There are not many people on our farm. How big will the reservoir be dug? How deep will it be?"
"I'll keep digging, I really don't know yet. Well, I'm going to inform the others."
There is no time now. Tomorrow we have to do hard work.
Early the next morning, the two of them dug a shovel each and went directly to the puddle to wait. By this time, more than ten people had come here, all from one family, and it seemed that they all wanted to have food.
, all want to come over and work.
In fact, this is not bad. Today’s children are quite capable and can do a lot.
The Zhao brothers and sisters also came over, and they walked to Su Yuanyuan's side.
"Yuanyuan. Why hasn't it started yet?"
"I guess we're waiting for the leader to come over?"
As he was talking, many more people came over. Feng Baoshan was among them, and he also came with a spade.
"I won't say much more. Everyone has seen our situation this year. We are the people affected by the disaster. After suffering this loss, we will be self-reliant.
This reservoir is really indispensable, and we cannot suffer such a disaster again in the future.
Okay, everyone knows in their hearts that
Then let’s start as a group.”
Ma Changshun took nearly sixty people in his group to carry the soil, and asked them to go home and carry their baskets.
Su Yuanyuan and Tan Shaoting walked together, grinning as they walked, "Good guys, you are carrying dirt on your back, I am tired just thinking about it."
"It's okay to take your time and use it in a hurry."
"Okay, let's do it leisurely."
In fact, Su Yuanyuan had an idea in mind, but she didn't know if it could be done. Using the principle of leverage, people stand directly on it.
With this idea in mind, she started looking for materials that could be used after returning home.
But I didn’t have a pole as long as I wanted, so I gave up in the end.
"Yuanyuan. What's wrong with you?"
"I want to make something here so that I don't have to carry the soil. I can put it directly in the car and take it away. If it is too deep, I can make it step by step."
Su Yuanyuan squatted on the ground and drew a diagram of the lever.
Tan Shaoting understood it after just one glance.
"You can have this."
"I only have some tree trunks of a few meters here, but not this bar."
"Can't we just use the longest wood? Let's drive the car and pull it over."
Since Tan Shaoting said it was okay, Su Yuanyuan released more than ten pieces of wood from the space.
Tan Shaoting picked four long and straight ones and loaded them on the donkey cart, and the two of them left with the baskets.
Ma Changshun watched them drive the car over, and was quite puzzled that there was still wood on it.
There was no other way, so Su Yuanyuan explained it to him again.
"Team Leader Ma, I probably won't need this today. We have to dig deeper."
"If it really works, it will save a lot of effort. Xiao Su is really smart."
Su Yuanyuan was embarrassed by the praise.
After all the baskets were taken, they were filled with soil directly into the baskets. Once they were full, they were carried away. Then they were dragged to a place five or six miles away. This is where the soil will be unloaded.
There is still power in large numbers. With more than 400 people working together, it is still very fast. Now it is impossible to tell which group is which, and the team leaders are doing the same thing.
Today's regulations are thirty meters wide and two meters deep.
It sounds like a lot, but it's really not that difficult to do.
The lunch meal is steamed buns made of Sanhe noodles. Thirty elderly women are specially sent here to cook. The steamed buns are filled with soaked dried vegetables and salt, which means there are no vegetables at all.
Each adult has five fist-sized steamed buns, and each child has three.
Su Yuanyuan and Tan Shaoting were both successful and strong laborers, so they only had five corns.
Just rinse the pot with water and add some salt to make soup.
Su Yuanyuan really didn't have the courage to eat or drink. The two of them looked at each other, put it away and put it in their bag at the same time.
Start playing with this homemade crane.
There is a triangular bracket on top, and the lever is indeed too short, but I still gave it a try.
Not to mention, it really saves a lot of energy compared to carrying it on your back.
"Try to bring three baskets together."
While others are eating and resting, the two of them are here to study this.
It's a bit difficult to load three baskets together, but it's still possible. However, the safety measures are not very good. Fortunately, it's not particularly heavy.
Feng Baoshan was also eating. Watching the two people experiment, he also came over. Looking at this, he felt that it was really feasible. Not only did it save a lot of effort, it also saved labor.
But just one of them is not enough. "Director Feng, you can actually wait in line to do it, so that you have time to rest."
Feng Baoshan understood what Su Yuanyuan meant and thought about it.
In this way, you can alternate. If you are too tired, you can come over and pass the basket up like a relay. This will make the work more efficient.
Originally, today's task was to dig two meters deep, but by the time work ended in the evening, it was more than three meters deep.
But we all know that today is the first day and everyone is still energetic, but tomorrow may not be the case.
There was only one meal here at noon, not three meals as agreed. Su Yuanyuan gave Zhao Yanli all ten steamed buns behind her back.
"Yuanyuan, you didn't eat?"
"I just made that crane, so I didn't have time to eat. You can take it back and eat it. We two still have something to eat."
Now Tan Shaoting is used to talking about it, and they seem to have become one.
The two of them got home the fastest. Su Yuanyuan felt that she was too hungry. She seemed to have seen it before, saying that people only grow taller when they feel hungry.
I really don’t know if this is true or not. Anyway, she was really hungry. The two of them washed themselves briefly and brought out steamed buns, rice, a pot of braised pork, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and a plate of potatoes.
Silk.
Both of them were starving and had no time to talk. They just ate big gulps. Let's fill our stomachs first.
