Professor Gu's daily life in the countryside after his rebirth

Anqing attached great importance to this matter. At around seven o'clock in the evening of that day, he came with the leaders and staff of the county water conservancy bureau.

They conducted professional inspections and risk assessments on site, and finally decided to open the floodgates to release the water. After all, if a dangerous situation occurred in this situation, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Villages downstream of the reservoir have received notifications one after another that the reservoir will open the gates to release water tomorrow morning and that the channels must be kept unobstructed.

The crops in the fields were gradually withering due to the high temperature and lack of water. When the three production teams heard the news, before the team leaders had time to make arrangements, the team members had already spontaneously formed a team and brought farm tools to verify.

"Captain, is this true?"

"It's true, it's true."

Although the reservoir needs to be inspected after the gates are opened to release water, this does not affect the smiles on their faces at all.

This year's food supply is finally saved.

The three team leaders arranged personnel to carry out dredging work in the channel overnight. The team members were surprisingly united and helped each other. Before dawn the next day, the dredging of the river had been completed and they were just waiting to open the gates to release the water.

But just before the floodgates were opened to release the water, varying degrees of anger appeared on the faces of the three captains.

Which production brigade should start first became the main contradiction in the dispute between the two production teams.

Normally there is no problem, and it doesn’t matter who goes first or last. Everyone is polite and considerate. In the end, all the land in the three villages is watered.

But it is different nowadays. With such high temperatures, the yield of crops in the fields will be very different if they are watered one day earlier or one day later.

What's more, even if each production team took two days, there would still be a difference of four days between the first and the last. These four days were so important for the corn that was in the growing period that they had to fight for it.

Shanghe Village is at the uppermost reaches. Logically, Shanghe Village should be the first to irrigate the fields every year. However, this year, Nanhe Village, which is at the lowermost reaches, has to take the lead. The reason is that Shanghe Village is first every year and Xiahe Village is second, so this year it is Nanhe Village's turn to be first.

Not only the team leader of Nanhe Village wants to fight for it, but the villagers of Nanhe Village also want to fight for it.

However, the people of Shanghe Village believed that since Shanghe Village was already upstream, they should be the first, so why should Nanhe Village be the first?

The people of Xiahe Village are peaceful. No matter how the two sides fight, Xiahe Village will always be the second one, neither too early nor too late, and they will not offend anyone.

The two sides were deadlocked, and the members of the two production teams present were also tit-for-tat.

The staff of the County Water Conservancy Bureau wanted to speak, but after seeing the situation before them, they did not dare to speak rashly, for fear that a conflict might arise between them.

The two captains looked at their respective players with dark faces, but none of the players were willing to back down and were waiting for the other to soften their stance first.

After the staff from Anqing and County Water Conservancy Bureau arrived at the scene, Gu Zhan was also invited by Anqing to come to the scene.

Gu Zhan was present throughout the exploration and testing process, and occasionally gave some pointers at Anqing's invitation, but because he always communicated with Anqing in a low voice, few people at the scene noticed him.

Seeing the two production teams staring at each other, Gu Zhan frowned. In his previous life, villagers had fought over the order of watering the fields.

According to the current common planting method, the land must be irrigated thoroughly using flooding. If the water is too little, it will not get through at all.

However, Shanghe Village adopts the intercropping method of ridges. There is a ditch between the ridges, which is convenient for water to flow through. There is no problem of water not being able to pass through, and it will flow much faster than usual.

On the contrary, if the water is too much, it may not only knock down the interplanted soybean plants, but also fail to irrigate the soil thoroughly.

Walking to Zhao Baogen's side, Gu Zhan whispered quietly, "Captain, come here for a moment."

The two sides were arguing fiercely at this moment, and suddenly Gu Zhan joined in, causing the situation to fall into a strange silence. Everyone looked at Zhao Baogen and Gu Zhan.

Zhao Baogen looked at the staff in the distance who were obviously trying to stay out of the matter, as well as the team members whose eyes were full of tension and anger. After hesitating for a moment, he followed Gu Zhan.

"Gu family boy, I don't have to fight, but if I delay the team's crops, I will be the sinner of the entire Shanghe Village."

Gu Zhan nodded to show his understanding.

Put yourself in his shoes and think about it. If you were in this situation, you would probably handle it better than Zhao Baogen.

Thinking of this, Gu Zhan took the initiative to speak: "Captain, we don't actually need to compete with Nanhe Village for first place.

As soon as Gu Zhan said this, Zhao Baogen glared at him and cursed in a low voice: "You kid, you can't talk like that. The crops in the fields are changing every day. How can you delay?"

Gu Zhan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and hurriedly explained: "Uncle Zhao, please listen to me first."

"You kid, don't come up with bad ideas that will let everyone down."

Gu Zhan smiled and expressed his thoughts: "We can definitely consider sharing water with the two villages for irrigation."

Then, Gu Zhan told Zhao Baogen all the factors he had just considered. After listening, Zhao Baogen hesitated for a moment and then agreed. This way, a lot of arguments were avoided.

After Zhao Baogen and Gu Zhan finished their discussion, they strode back to their previous positions.

The villagers of Nanhe Village looked back and forth between Zhao Baogen and Gu Zhan vigilantly, until Zhao Baogen cleared his throat and prepared to speak, then they began to stare at Zhao Baogen again.

"Our Shanghe Village Production Brigade has decided to irrigate the land at the same time as the Xiahe Village Production Brigade and the Nanhe Village Production Brigade. No matter which production brigade is irrigating the land, they just need to give us some water."

Everyone present was silent. Zhao Baogen's words undoubtedly gave both sides room to ease the tension. If they continued to argue about who came first and who came second, it would probably become too ugly.

When Zhao Baogen proposed this solution, the people at the County Water Conservancy Bureau were also enlightened. They were just afraid that there would be a dispute between the two production teams because of this matter. Now that everyone has made concessions, it is just right.

An Qing glanced at Gu Zhan, who was staring at the reservoir in a trance not far away from him, with admiration in his eyes. This young man's thinking was really quick.

Little did they know that although Gu Zhan's eyes were looking at the water surface on the other side of the reservoir, his ears were paying attention to the direction of the crowd, for fear that if he was not careful, another tragedy like a fight would happen.

Not until the people from both sides dispersed did Gu Zhan feel completely relieved.

He finally stopped the fight and saved the crops.

After opening the floodgates and releasing water, Gu Zhan personally demonstrated and instructed everyone how to water the fields before he had time to go home.

The nerves that had been tense for a long time suddenly relaxed, and Gu Zhan just felt very tired, both physically and mentally.

After returning home, he told Liu Xiaoxi that he wanted to take a nap, and then fell into a deep sleep.
