1983: From Land Sharing to Household Ownership

There is no wind tonight, even if it is dark, it is still very hot.

This kind of sign is definitely the rhythm of heavy rain coming.

Also, after counting the time, it is also the time when the tea city is flooded every year.

Although the time of flood rises every year, sometimes it is May, sometimes it is June, but whether it is May or June, there is basically at least one major flood in the tea city every year, which is beyond doubt.

In Wang Qiang's memory of later generations, on May 20, 1884 this year, the great flood that happened once in thirty years in the tea city came.

Although today is just the middle of May, there are still ten days before the "520" flood that was recorded in the county annals.

However, a week before the real flood, the area where the tea city is located, within a radius of several hundred kilometers, has already started to rain, and there is almost no time for the rain to stop.

"Hey! There's still a day or two at most, and the rainy season will last for nearly 20 days."

Wang Qiang was walking on the main road, waving his hand to drive away the swarming mosquitoes, and couldn't help sighing.

In the memory of later generations, this rare flood in the history of the tea city really caused huge losses to the tea city.

More than 60% of the villages were flooded. Nearly half of the crops planted in the spring failed to harvest. Some villages were even wiped out, and not a single grain of food survived.

The reason for this is that the flood lasted too long, and the crops were soaked in the water for too long, and it was strange that they were not drowned.

Fortunately, after the flood, the government gave all-out assistance and distributed almost all the grains in the Grain Bureau in a timely manner, and barely survived this rare flood.

In this era, the vast majority of officials in the government are truly serving the people.

The time they spend in the fields every month is more than ten times longer than the time they spend in the office!

They are veritable public servants of the people without any discount.

"Brother, there are so many mosquitoes and moths!"

"Yeah! Why are there so many such nasty things tonight?"

"Pop... Brother Aqiang, I was bitten by a mosquito again, but luckily I slapped it to death."

A burst of complaints came from behind Wang Qiang.

"It should be the rainy season coming soon. I estimate that the tea city is very likely to be flooded."

"You wait, I'll go get some torches and come back."

Wang Qiang turned his head and said something to his sister and the others. He quickly trotted into the nearby bushes, and quickly turned around with a few tied torches.

It is very effective to drive away mosquitoes and moths.

But like now, Lin Hai and the others in the back are rushing along with a few big lanterns, but it is the exact opposite. Not only can they not expel mosquitoes and moths, but they will also attract a large number of them.

In fact, it is the most suitable lamp to use for rushing on the road at night in winter.

In winter, the wind is strong, the temperature is low, mosquitoes and moths are almost extinct, and it is easy to be blown out by the strong wind with a torch, so that is the best time to drive the night road with a lantern.

Now, attracted by those large lanterns, a large number of moths and mosquitoes swarmed in. Although Wang Qiang and the others were at the forefront of the team, they could not escape their ravages.

Wang Qiang took the tied torches and strode to the side of the tricycle's carriage. Wanling stopped the tricycle quickly, and saw her brother take out a bottle of rapeseed oil from the carriage, opened the bottle cap, and tied each one of them. The torches were poured a little.

He closed the lid of the rapeseed oil bottle, put it back into the big basket on the carriage, and then lit several large torches with matches.

The bright fire light was encased in thick black smoke, and a large number of moths and mosquitoes that were visible to the naked eye immediately rushed forward, and were then burned to death in an instant, or smoked away by the thick smoke.

He found a few more ropes and tied these big torches around the carriage of the tricycle. The two little girls, Wanling and Wanyu, took turns riding the bike forward.

After a while, the number of mosquitoes and moths that swarmed was reduced by half.

"Brother, your approach is good."

Wan Yu praised.

"It's nothing. If you can find some wormwood and mix it in a torch to ignite it, the effect of repelling insects is really good."

Wang Qiang waved his hands indifferently and said.

Without the harassment of a large number of mosquitoes and moths, the little girls finally stopped complaining with a bitter look, and continued to chat while they were busy.

Fortunately, it is already night, and there are basically no motor vehicles on the road, so everyone eats ashes. Today is already over.

That's right, around three o'clock this afternoon, after all those unscrupulous traders were arrested, the brigade continued on their way home.

Because they had to take care of the horses and cattle they bought from their family, Wang Qiang and a few girls finally couldn't escape the fate of eating ashes all the way.

Now, under the light of the red torches, Wang Qiang, like several girls, was covered in dust, even his face was the same, and he became disgraced.

"Brother, do you think the thirteen criminals who were pulled away by a large carriage would be sent to prison by Captain Lin and the others?"

Wan Jun's face was still a little pale, she walked beside her brother and asked uncertainly.

"Of course."

Wang Qiang said flatly, "Seriously, if I didn't come together this time, Captain Lin and the others would be miserable this time, and the consequences would be very serious."

"This is no longer an ordinary money-seeking, but a real money-seeking killing, and it is not only the purchasing team of Captain Lin and the others, but also the lives of the elderly people in Jiangbei Village!"

"This cruel method has touched everyone's bottom line, and it is impossible to let them go easily. It should be their destined ending to sit through the prison."

"Um."

After hearing what her brother said, Wan Jun finally calmed down. She thought of something and raised her head to ask, "Brother, when did you learn medicine? Those potions you prepared are really amazing."

"That's right! Brother, you learned medicine secretly and didn't let us know, hum..."

"Brother, you are getting more and more powerful. Not only are you strong, you know how to build, you can hunt, and now you know medicine."

The girls were chattering happily again, making Wang Qiang find a few excuses to get them over to the lake.

In the dark of night, it was really annoying to drive a lot of livestock, but it was not too long to go home.

This made the girls who were quite bored and struggling suddenly remembered what Wang Qiang had said before, and Qi Qi's expression changed, "Brother, you said that the weather is too hot tonight, and it will rain heavily in two days. water?"

"Brother, what are we going to do this year?"

"Yeah! It used to rain heavily every year, and our family didn't have fields to grow all kinds of crops, so the flooding was nothing, but this year, our family has so many fields, this..."

"Brother, the mountain behind our family is so big, will there be another flash flood?"...

The three Wanyu sisters, the more they talked, the more frightened they became, and even their faces turned pale!

In farming and breeding in rural areas, the most fearful thing is the irresistible flood disaster.

I didn't have any fields in the past, so I didn't have to think about it so much, but this year, if there is that kind of rainy season, the consequences...

Three years ago, in 1981, there was a once-in-a-decade flood in the tea city.

The situation at that time, Wang Qiang and his siblings are still vivid in their minds: not only did the water level of the Tea River more than double, but even the mountain behind Wang Qiang's family had a flash flood!

Fortunately, Wang Qiang's house was built on a higher place, and there were two large natural ditches around to drain water.

In the face of flash floods, all resistance is powerless.

The kind of torrent that carried the overwhelming momentum swept in, destroying almost everything in the way along the way, until it was exhausted, it would gather into the river in the distance.

"Well, this heavy rain, I estimate, will last longer than the heavy rain in the summer of 1981, and the flood may exceed that in 1981."

"Starting from tomorrow morning, our family will urgently mobilize to dredge the two large natural ditches on the Dacha Mountain and directly guide the mountain torrents into the tea river!"

"Otherwise, the loss of our family this year will not be too small!"

"Not only do we need to dredge the two large natural ditches on the mountain, but also strengthen and dredge the drainage ditches connecting those terraced fields, and try not to flood our crops!"

During the discussion between you and me, the four brothers and sisters found that there were more and more problems that they needed to solve as soon as possible, which made the scalp tingle!

Fortunately, when Wang Qiang was building his own large ecological farm, the first consideration was water conservancy projects, and he has been doing it all the time.

Therefore, although there are many problems discovered now, except that it is more important to dredge the two large natural ditches on the mountain, other things are easy to solve.

It wasn't until half an hour later that the family came up with a more complete verbal plan.

At this time, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"Fortunately, I have been building various ditches on the Dacha Mountain, and even the wasteland at the foot of the mountain has built perfect drainage facilities."

A cold sweat broke out on Wang Qiang's forehead, while he was on his way home, he kept thinking about it.

He must do the best possible preparations to minimize the impact of this round of 30-year floods on his family.
