1983: From Land Sharing to Household Ownership

"Brother, when I just went to feed the chickens, ducks and geese, I stopped by the pasture to have a look, and found that the foal we bought yesterday was not too small."

"Yeah! My Human Torch took the initiative to play with me!"

"Xiaoyu! Look at you, a girl, what name did you give your horse? What is it called Human Torch?"

"Sister! Didn't I just read the comic book Water Margin that my brother bought, and there is a very good man named Thunderbolt? Besides, the name of Thunderbolt is so suitable for my little red horse!"

"Yeah, Thunder Torch sounds nice, but I think it's better to call the white horse of Sister Wanjun's name Bai Xue, and the black horse of Sister Wanling's name is also good to be called Black Whirlwind."

"Giggle...Black Whirlwind? My sister was named after Meng Future on the Water Margin comic strip? As expected, she is my good sister..."

Early in the morning, Wang Qiang got up, washed up, and came to the large living room. Several younger sisters gathered around and shouted loudly.

From the looks of them, they just came back from the ranch.

Yesterday, Wang Qiang was exhausted.

He has been busy from morning to night, and even asked Wanjun to go home and make it, and bring it back to the mountain, where everyone eats together.

There is no way, in the memory of later generations, the "520" flood that is about to start is too terrifying, and he can't bear to work hard and try to complete his plan as soon as possible.

On the mountain, he could clearly see that the entire Jiangbei Village had entered a comprehensive mobilization, and all the villagers, as long as they could walk on their own, had joined the vigorous preparations for flood fighting and disaster relief.

Repair embankments, ditches, sewers... level some low-lying areas...

In particular, the irrigation and drainage channels in the fields should be thoroughly widened and strengthened, and the drainage and irrigation channels should be dredged and repaired.

Because of the large wasteland around Lion Mountain, the terrain is relatively high and should not be affected by the flood.

The main actions of this flood fighting and disaster relief were carried out around the huge Lion Rock area.

Lion Mountain is located in the northwest of Jiangbei Village. It is a mountain shaped like a big lion lying down.

It covers an area similar to that of Wang Qiang's Dacha Mountain, but it is surrounded by a typical alluvial plain, and this small alluvial plain has a higher terrain.

Due to the accumulation of ancestors in Jiangbei Village for nearly a thousand years, they occupy a lot of fields and forests. This kind of highland that is inconvenient for irrigation has never been used for land reclamation.

Therefore, this piece of wasteland with tens of thousands of acres has become the best place for the village committee to build three large-scale breeding farms and one large-scale farm.

For this smooth flood relief, the villagers are building a large square in Jiangbei Village here.

This big square is not a big square like the central square of the county, but a huge sun-guping flat.

This Sun Valley Ping, which is working overtime, is surrounded by a large circle of neat red brick and tile warehouses that have just been built.

In this flood relief, this large circle of warehouses is used to store all the various items of the villagers' homes that need to be relocated.

There are large warehouses with red brick and tile houses, and the area is huge.

It allows the villagers who had been flooded in their homes during the 81st flood to temporarily relocate and return to live here temporarily.

After this big flood is over, this super large new sun-gut flat will be officially put into use and become a real sun-gut flat.

The large warehouses with red brick and tile houses built around will become the veritable grain warehouses in the village, which can store the grains dried by each household in the village.

Therefore, after the emergency meeting of the village committee, the construction of the alluvial plain highlands around the Lion Mountain was taken as the most important task of flood fighting and disaster relief.

Not only the sun valley floor and the red brick warehouse for the villagers will be built quickly, but also three breeding farms and a large farm.

The urgent construction of the three farms is not only for the resettlement of the livestock that Jiangbei Village has just bought, but also for the resettlement of the livestock and poultry that are originally raised by each household in the village.

In the great flood in June 1981, most of the livestock and poultry in Jiangbei Village were drowned, and the tragedy is still vivid in my mind.

Now that we are prepared this time, of course, we must solve this hidden danger thoroughly in advance.

You must know that the current assets of the village, in addition to the three large factories and hundreds of large villas built, the villagers are now the most valuable are the chickens, ducks, geese, pigs, cattle and sheep raised at home.

In case of negligence and not learning the lessons of the past, when the flood is over, at least half of the villagers will go bankrupt, just wait to cry to death.

Especially for those who raise pigs, the whole family lives frugally, and the rations saved are just to raise one or two big fat pigs in the family. When the pigs grow up and sell, it will be the biggest income for the family throughout the year.

If the pig is drowned, that is the real cry without tears. It is not uncommon for people to hang themselves and jump into the river, but there will definitely be.

The construction team around Lion Mountain alone took up more than half of the labor force in Jiangbei Village, which is enough to prove that the village committee is determined this time.

The village committee transferred most of the building materials originally used to build the second batch of villas to the construction site of Lion Mountain.

The construction team with more than 10,000 people has no shortage of various building materials. With concerted efforts, the construction speed is extremely amazing.

The first is that the huge sun valley floor, and the large warehouse of red brick buildings around it, have been constructed at a speed that can be seen.

Then there are three 10,000-mu farms and a 10,000-mu large farm, and the construction is in full swing.

As soon as the huge Sun Valley was built, the village committee organized thousands of people, including young and old in the village, to move to the large warehouses around the huge Sun Valley.

Because it is predicted that the major flood in May this year will be the kind that will happen once in 30 years, the number of villagers who need to be relocated this time has reached 70%!

Thousands of people carried out a vigorous move, which took a full day before finally all the relocations were completed.

It is estimated that for the rest of May, the villagers with more than 10,000 people will have to live here temporarily.

Fortunately, this is a big warehouse with red brick and tile houses built at all costs in the village. Because it has absorbed the construction experience of the first batch of large villas, this large warehouse around the huge Shaiguping is not only of good quality. , and very spacious and clean.

Even several not-so-small public toilets have been built very well, and several streams of clean mountain spring water have been drawn from the nearby mountains as the water source for this resettlement site.

Therefore, although the living environment here is a little crowded, but honestly, it is better than the homes of these villagers who have not lived in large villas.

Because it is organized and orderly, there is no chaos here. On the contrary, everyone's relatives and friends gather together and it is very lively.

Some villagers who are usually good friends even have meals together and live next to each other, which deepens the feelings of both sides.

The weather became more and more sultry, and the feelings in the hearts of the villagers became more and more complicated.

Fortunately, the day after the big move, there was still no rain.

The thousands of villagers who were responsible for the relocation began to form small teams under the command of the cadres of the village committee. They carried various farm implements and went deep into the fields of each household. .

These irrigation and drainage ditches are the basis for the preservation of most crops in this flood.

After all, in a major flood, flood peaks come and go quickly.

However, flood peaks and waterlogging caused by heavy rain are the key to the death of crops.

Only when all the irrigation and drainage ditches in the fields and forests in the village are fully cleaned, repaired, expanded, deepened and strengthened, when the flood peak recedes, the flood water in these fields and forests will recede in time with the flood peak.

As long as there is no waterlogging, and major floods come and go quickly, at least most of the harvests of the fields and forests can be preserved.

After all, as long as the flooding time is not long, many crops have extremely tenacious vitality.

Therefore, the waterlogging is more terrifying than the flood peak. If the waterlogging continues for ten or twenty days, the crops will fail to harvest.

This is related to the rations and lifeblood of all the villagers in Jiangbei Village, no matter how hard they work.

All the villagers who participated in this big project, with red eyes and gnashing of teeth, did not even go home to eat lunch.

It was not until the evening that this wave of thoroughly renovated irrigation and drainage ditches was completely completed after being accepted by the technicians.
