Rebirth 1978, Wife, I won't go back to the city

Jiang Xue didn't quite understand what Li Jingshen meant.

But she did understand that Depth of Field was doing this for the sake of herself and her child.

Good, even if you don’t understand it, you can still get the general idea by listening.

Thinking of this, Jiang Xue hugged Li Jingshen tightly: "Jingshen, I believe you."

"Wife, I love you!"

……

Early the next morning.

Li Jingshen was awakened by the noise outside.

The good intention is that some villagers are arguing about something.

Li Jingshen didn't know what was going on, but since he was woken up, he was too lazy to go back to sleep.

After getting up, I saw Jiang Xue helping Tuan Tuan get dressed.

After seeing Li Jingshen get up, Jiang Xue said, "Breakfast is already prepared in the pot."

Li Jingshen nodded: "What's going on outside that's causing such a commotion?"

Jiang Xue also smiled slightly: "What else could it be? It's just for some slack."

"This is what happens when the water is released."

Li Jingshen then remembered that it was the time to sow seeds and it was time to start making a fuss about releasing water.

If someone puts in a little more or a little less, that won’t work.

However, Li Jingshen was too lazy to care about these things.

He first went to the kitchen and made a bowl of porridge for his wife and Tuantuan, and then gave them two meat buns.

Place the hot paste in front of the empress.

Then he made himself some hot porridge and meat buns.

The family of three ate happily.

These days are pretty good.

I still have to translate some manuscripts today, and I will start working after I finish eating.

After breakfast, the noise outside became louder and louder.

Only then did Li Jingshen realize that something was wrong.

"Jiang Xue, you stay home with the kids, I'll go out and take a look."

"I think there are always troubles every year because of water."

"I'll go and take a look, to prevent anyone from getting killed." Li Jingshen said.

Li Jingshen's worries were not false.

In this era, the rule of law is not as emphasized as in Li Jingshen's previous life.

After all, at this time, people in rural areas are fighting for water to irrigate their own land.

Then it really comes down to who has the bigger fist and whose words count.

You know, this is no joke.

If your family doesn’t have a strong man to support it.

There will really be a lack of water, resulting in poor harvests.

There is a certain basis for why the Great Xia Kingdom favors boys over girls.

This is actually the historical reason.

There is no way, in this era, when things have not yet been fully developed.

Families with many boys have extremely strong fighting power.

Families with many boys can have as many as they want.

Therefore, many people have suffered a lot of losses.

This is due to certain historical reasons.

Of course, with the development of society, civilization and technology.

More and more equality came later.

And nowadays, this custom still exists in Xiaoxi Village.

Li Jingshen was also worried that something might happen in the village.

After all, some things had happened before because of Wang Xiaomao's incident.

If something happens in Xiaoxi Village again, I'm afraid that this year Xiaoxi Village will be on the top list of the township government or even the township government.

Although this has nothing to do with Li Jingshen.

But at least he is from Xiaoxi Village, so he should have some sense of collective honor.

After going out, Li Jingshen followed the noise to a field.

Sure enough, the noisy sound was indeed related to water.

The two families involved in the quarrel were Old Man Zheng and the Qian Sandu family in the village.

Because the fields of Old Man Zheng's family are a little far from the water source, every time the land needs to be irrigated, it will be placed a little later.

There’s nothing wrong with that, it’s first come, first served.

However, Qian Sanduo relied on the fact that he had five sons and that there was strength in numbers, so he deliberately delayed Zheng Lao's visit.

As for Old Man Zheng, he has two daughters and a little son.

Of course, the combat effectiveness is not good enough.

But you can't just suffer in silence like this.

So, the two families started arguing on the edge of the field.

It seemed that the people from Qian Sanjia's family were about to beat Old Man Zheng.

Li Jingshen quickly ran over and yelled, "What? Are you going to the sky?"

"Wang Xiaomao has just been sentenced to death. Are you two families planning to follow him? Do you want company on the road to the underworld?"

After Li Jingshen's words, the noisy sounds at the scene stopped.

When Old Man Zheng saw Li Jingshen coming, he poured out all his grievances.

After he finished speaking, Old Man Zheng said, "Depth of Field, you are educated, so please judge for yourself. Just forget about the money Sanjia has taken more than he deserves."

"Even water consumption is being taken up more than it actually is. How can this be justified?"

Qian Sanduo is like a dead pig that is not afraid of boiling water.

“I said Depth of Field, my family didn’t occupy more land. We have a lot of land, and several of my sons have to work in the fields.”

"Of course we have to find a way to water it more. There's no other way."

"Besides, I didn't say I wouldn't give it to his family," Qian Sanduo said.

At this moment, Zhang Zhenming also arrived at the scene.

After seeing the scene, Zhang Zhenming understood everything.

He first scolded Qian Sanduo's family, and then asked Zheng Laohan's family to water the fields first.

Then, Zhang Zhenming called Li Jingshen and several key members of the village committee to go to the village committee for a meeting.

After sitting down in the office.

Zhang Zhenming spoke directly.

"To be honest, it hasn't rained much this year since the beginning of spring."

"The crops in this area need watering every day. If you miss even one day, the harvest will be ruined."

"There's nothing we can do. If it doesn't rain, everyone will need water. You saw it today."

"Old Man Zheng and the Qian Sanjia family had a direct conflict over watering."

"If this continues, every year in this area, there will be deaths from watering the fields." Zhang Zhenming smoked his pipe helplessly.

There was nothing he could do. No matter how prestigious he was, it wasn't raining that day.

There's nothing I can do about it.

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Hui from the village committee echoed him, "Yes, it hasn't rained since the beginning of spring this year."

"At this rate, the crops in this field will dry up."

"This is how to do!"

"How about opening the floodgates and releasing the water?" the village accountant asked.

"There's no problem with opening the gates to release water, but the problem is that this reservoir is located on the territory of our Xiaoxi Village."

"But the problem is that this reservoir is jointly owned by 15 villages in the township."

“Even if we want to open the sluice gates and release water, let’s not talk about whether other villages agree or not.”

"It will take a lot of time just to apply to the township." Zhang Zhenming said helplessly while smoking his pipe.

"Then apply. You can't let a living person die from holding his urine, right?"

Hearing this, Zhang Zhenming couldn't help but sigh: "If only it were easy."

"The reservoirs in our area are not only used for irrigation, but also bear the responsibility of fish farming for the entire county."

"If the water in the reservoir is released, will all the people in the county still be able to eat fish?"

"No fish for the New Year, that's a huge responsibility!"
