Chapter 534 The reason why the family let you go to college is to come here to farm?
In the fifth month of the lunar calendar, the hot sunshine is scorching the land of Changyi County. On the bank of the Xihe River, a group of people are busy. Among them are the two brothers Wang Huashen and Wang Huawei, professors of Daming Agricultural University from the capital.
They are taking local officials and technicians from the Construction Bureau to select a suitable location for the steam pump.
"Place the water dragon here. After the water outlet is raised three meters, the water channel will merge into the main trunk. This is the best location. If used properly, at least 10,000 acres of grain fields can be irrigated." Wang Huashen pointed to the location he selected and told others
Arrange it.
"Brother, you have to speed up the installation of the water dragon. I took a look and found that if the water can be diverted within ten days, the drought-stricken wheat can still be saved. If it is later, it will not be possible." Although both brothers Wang Huashen have
I am a professor at an agricultural university, but they have different majors. One is in agriculture and irrigation, and the other is in agriculture.
"Let's do this. Divide the staff into two waves. One wave will help the masters from the Engineering Bureau install the water pipes. In the other wave, I will arrange to build the diversion canal quickly. The two waves of people will work at the same time. It should be completed within ten days."
"I'll leave it to my brother. I'll take people here to check out the drought situation in other parts of the county, see if there's any way to replenish more grain, and arrange for replanting autumn grain."
The two brothers had a tacit understanding of each other. They clearly divided the work and determined the tasks they were responsible for, and then they started working day and night.
Walking on the thirsty land, Wang Huawei was very anxious. He had to work faster and faster. The drought waits for no one. If he can save farmers from suffering losses through his own efforts, then his work will be valuable.
.
When they left their hometown in Weihai, the two brothers failed to get admitted to the University of Arts and Sciences or the University of Science and Technology, and finally had to study at the Agricultural University. Perhaps they were born to engage in agriculture, but when it was time to graduate after studying at the Agricultural University for two years, the school left them
Got to school.
Since then, they have been working at the Agricultural University. Last year, the two brothers were promoted to full professors of the seventh grade. In terms of grades, they moved faster than most graduates of the same class. Now, the two of them have begun to fall in love.
This kind of job makes people feel more comfortable than entering an official career. How good is it to stay in college? When you should be promoted, the things you do are also professional, and you don't need to run around with chores like other students. Colleagues,
Teachers and students are also easy to deal with.
Wang Huawei, who was running around in the fields with a straw hat, seemed to have lost track of time. It was not until his elder brother sent someone to inform him that the water pipes were installed, that he returned to the main canal and began to organize local people to water the fields to fight the drought.
Wearing straw hats and bare feet, we went with farmers to release water from acre to acre of land. Water is too precious, and we must ensure that every drop of hard-earned water plays its due role.
"Master Wang, a layer of water has just been put on my land. Can you put a little more water on it? During the day, there is much more water in other people's fields than on my land." In the evening, an old farmer saw me in a farmland.
Wang Huawei asked people to cut the sluice into sections and stop discharging water into his fields. He couldn't help but become anxious and began to pray tremblingly.
"Old man, first put some water in your field to save it. After all the water in the field is watered, you need to put another two water in your field. In fact, it is not suitable to water during the day, but the time
In an emergency, you have no choice but to water more. If you water your land at night, watering less can still be effective."
"Really? Officer, can we still pour a second crop of water? Are you trying to coax the old man?"
"Don't worry, we will keep an eye on every acre of water used, and we will never let the saved fields return to drought."
The old man looked at Wang Huawei and his group who were walking to the next field to continue arranging water discharge, and muttered some words of thanks. I heard that this Wang Guanren was an official as big as the county magistrate, but he didn't look like an official at all.
?He is dressed like a farmer and speaks politely. As long as he has some official airs, the old man will not be so bold as to propose adding more water to his family's fields.
"Boss, the water has finally been released for the first time. I came over to take a look at the situation of the water dragon. This thing has been working day and night for more than ten days. Can it still be used? Then there is the water condition in the river.
How about it, can we pump water again?" Wang Huawei dragged his tired body and rushed to the water pump again to understand the situation.
"The water flow in the river is quite stable. As for the water dragon, although it often breaks down, it can still be used if it is repaired in time. The good thing about this thing is that it can work day and night! If it breaks down less often, this thing is really drought-resistant.
"It's a sharp weapon. Look how big the water column is. How can it be possible to achieve this effect with manpower and animals." Wang Huashen's eyes were also bloodshot, but he spoke with great energy, and he was full of praise for the steam water pump.
While the two brothers were discussing the efficacy of the water pump, two carriages came from a distance, with two people running in front of them. As they approached, one of them shouted: "The two officials happened to be here, the old man of the official family.
I went to the county government office with my family to look for you, and Beizhi and others quickly brought the old man here."
Sitting in the carriage was Wang Fucai, the old father of the two Wang brothers. He received a letter from his son a few days ago, saying that they were going to Changyi County for business. After the work was done, they would take time to go home to visit their families.
Old Wangtou, the longer he waited at home, the more frustrated he became. I heard that his two sons had become seventh-rank officials, and such a great thing as returning to their hometown should not be taken lightly. Finally, the old man, who could no longer hold his anger, prepared to take his family with him.
People first go to the place where their sons work to see how majestic they will be after they become officials.
It was a wonderful thought. Both sons were seventh-rank officials, and they came down from the capital. No matter how you put it, you could have seen the scene. But when he got there and saw the appearance of his two sons, he was completely dumbfounded. He led
Wearing a straw hat, barefoot, covered in mud, the most terrible thing is that his eldest son's face was blackened by coal smoke.
How do these look like two seventh-rank officials? The image of farmers who farm the land is better than them.
"My family asked you to go to college, and you came here to farm the land and burn coal? Are you trying to be an official? It's better to be an official like this and farm the land at home. At least you won't be asked to do hard work in the fields yourself.
." Old Wangtou, who was frightened by his son's appearance, recovered his energy for a while before he had the strength to curse.
It's so disappointing. It's simply an insult to the family. If I had known they were working as officials like this, I should have called them home quickly to avoid being embarrassed outside. The Wang family is considered a big family in Weihai, so they let their two sons work as farmers.
, what words!
"Dad, what are you talking about? We are professors teaching farming, and it is our job to lead people to do farming. How can you despise it? You are not allowed to have such backward ideas."
