The Pretty Military Wife

Chapter 449: The Battle of the Canal

Captain Liu immediately took note of it, and then discussed with Ding Shiqing how to allocate some people to transplant the seedlings and some to pick bean leaves.

The next day, their Xinshui Village became busy again, but Liang Xinyue did not go to work the next day because she could not do anything there, and Director Ren and his men had gone to the countryside.

They waited until Thursday of the second week, which was the day of their originally scheduled big battle.

Liang Xinyue is now in better shape, at least, she can sit or stand on her own. It's still a little difficult for her to lift both arms, but she can lift her right hand a little.

Every day, she practices how to grasp, bend, and straighten her left hand. The purpose of straightening is to stretch the muscles and bones. Every time she stretches her muscles and bones, Liang Xinyue sweats from the pain.

Aunt Li cried every time she saw it because Liang Xinyue had to keep practicing. If she didn't practice, the rehabilitation of her left arm would be wasted.

After Liang Xinyue was able to sit down and stand up by herself, she went back to work. At least, she could handle some emergency dispatch matters in the office.

Originally, it was said that Director Ren would be the overall dispatcher, but now the two have to switch jobs.

On the day of the great battle, Liang Xinyue also came to the battle site in the bureau's car.

The entire project was large and the line was very long. Director Ren, County Magistrate Chen, and Director Zhao divided it into three sections for management. Director Ren was in charge of the first section, which was the canal that ran from the water outlet to Xinshui Village, ten miles downstream. Director Ren was in charge of it.

Liang Xinyue sat in their car and arrived at the beginning of the canal.

In order to facilitate the construction of the canal, they leveled some places so that cars could drive through. The land here is mostly gravel, and if the car passes over it a few times, the ground will be leveled.

It doesn't look like the soil has been pressed into deep grooves.

Liang Xinyue got out of the car after it stopped and was a little dumbfounded.

She thought that if they wanted to fight, it would just be that everyone would take some stonemason tools or hoes and do some work in the mountains.

But I didn't expect that when I arrived at the construction site, I saw red flags waving. Every place with a tall red flag was a small unit, such as a brigade, or a directly affiliated unit of the county.

Repairing the canal is the job of the whole county, and everyone can do it. If you don’t want to come, you can find someone to do it for you.

All workers will have their work points calculated, and each group will have someone who is responsible for calculating the work points. At that time, each unit will pay half of the work points, and the county will pay the other half, so that everyone who comes to work can have a certain income.

There is also a lunch at noon, but each unit has its own meal. Whether the meal is good or not depends on how the leaders of your unit handle it.

In addition to each small unit raising a red flag, there are also some colorful flags along the line. So, if you stand on the mountain and look down, you can see a long red flag road, fluttering all the way forward.

The first shovel of soil was done by Director Ren. After Director Ren dug the first shovel of soil, someone immediately started setting off firecrackers, which meant that the work had started.

The route this time is mostly determined by some barren mountains, so we have to lay the foundation and clear some weeds first. The stones, sand and some cement have already been brought in and distributed to each unit.

Of course, they have someone to manage their cement. This is the amount they have taken. If they want to get more, they have to get a permit and pay money.

Because the usage and quantity were roughly calculated, Gaoshi Village started work more than half a month in advance in order to produce the stones. Dozens of trucks of stones have been shipped out from there.

Almost every unit along the entire canal line placed a cartload of stones.

Stone is the main raw material this time, so no matter how many trucks are hauled to you, the leaders of your units have to make a pledge after receiving each truck to indicate that you have received it, and they also have to stamp the driver's form, so that the driver can calculate the payment based on the work order with his signature and stamp.

Liang Xinyue followed and looked at the people in each section of this line. Everyone was really enthusiastic about working. Listen to Director Ren. Such a large-scale battle has not been held many times in the entire county, but these people are still willing to do things that are really beneficial to them.

Liang Xinyue stood in a slightly higher place and watched the people along the line starting to work enthusiastically, and in some places they even shouted labor songs.

This scene left young people like Liang Xinyue, who came from a few decades later, dumbfounded.

I didn't expect that a big battle could be accomplished like this.

To be honest, a few decades later, everyone said that a prosperous era had arrived and the whole country was united.

Only when you actually see this kind of work scene will you know what unity means.

Just to build a canal, all the workers, farmers, militia organized by the armed forces, and junior high school students organized by the school came.

Everyone has their own responsibilities and does what they are supposed to do. People in each unit have clear division of labor. Those who are physically strong help carry the stones to the approximate location and make preparations.

Those who are less physically fit can start by weeding and digging the foundation.

Everyone seems to have endless energy. They are all working seriously and trying hard to do everything to the best of their ability.

Seeing this kind of work scene makes you excited and want to do something together.

Guo Xiaoxue followed behind Liang Xinyue and was also stunned. When they were training in the army, they were the most orderly and obedient to orders. But now, seeing this county-wide battle and everyone working together for one thing, she was also very excited.

"Sister, do you guys always do things in such a big way?"

This girl grew up in the provincial capital, went to school since she was young, and trained in the army. It was hard, and she did suffer, but she had never farmed or been a farmer.

"That's definitely not possible, but I took you to see Xinshui Village harvesting soybeans a few days ago. You should have seen it, right?"

"The common people actually listen to orders very well. They don't worry about what the team tells them to do or what tasks are assigned to them. They do their jobs well."

Director Ren and his colleagues actually picked up shovels to help for a while, and then drove to the next site to see if anyone had any problems.

Xiao Wei came here on a bicycle so that he could visit various training sites more conveniently.

During the next few days, he will be stationed here, mainly playing the role of on-site mobilization.

At noon, everyone had lunch on the construction site. Each unit had a tent where they could store supplies that were sent by their respective units.

If people are going to live here, they have to build a few more sheds. In order to finish the work earlier, some villages just finish the section they are responsible for, so they all decide to live here. This way they can start work early and finish work late, and they can do more work.
