Chapter 118 Flood Control

On the way home, the old man sat silently in the co-pilot and ignored Tang Xiaochuan's words.

Ever since Tang Xiaochuan said yesterday that he was going to marry Guan Jingwen, the old couple were very opposed. If it was the past, the eldest son could find a wife. As long as it was a woman, the old couple would be thankful. After spending money, they certainly hope to find a daughter-in-law who is well-off, well-educated, well-educated, virtuous and virtuous, not to mention that Guan Jingwen is an entertainment star, which makes them even more dissatisfied.

"Dad, Jing Wen and I have considered this matter for a long time. It is definitely not a decision made on the spur of the moment. Moreover, Jing Wen doesn't know my current situation. She thinks I am just working as an employee in a small company. A small clerk, with a monthly salary of 10,000 to 20,000 yuan, but she is already worth over 100 million yuan, she doesn't despise your son, but your second elder still despises her, I really don't know what your second elder thinks!"

The car was driving fast on the highway, Tang Xiaochuan's words made the old man finally react, he turned his head: "She really doesn't know your current situation?"

Tang Xiaochuan shook his head: "I really don't know!"

The old man frowned: "That being said, this child is kind and righteous. It's not that your mother and I despise her status as a star, but... how should I put it, she sings every day Showing your face and running around, you definitely don't have time to take care of your family. Even an old man like me knows the messy news and divorces that those actors make every day, and the whole world knows about it. I'm afraid that others will not know about their scandals! Boss, although our family is only a small group of people, we still need face, your father, I don’t want to be humiliated in the village, and I don’t want to be judged behind my back!”

Tang Xiaochuan nodded: "Okay, I understand! So, dad, do you agree?"

"Is it useful if I don't agree? The legs grow on you, so I can break your legs and lock you up at home?"

Tang Xiaochuan said happily: "Thank you Dad! Then you call and talk to my mom and persuade her!"

"Okay, I'll call him and talk about it when I get home!"

Before noon, Tang Xiaochuan drove his father home. The floor, tables and stools of the house were covered with dust. There was still firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and tea in the house. The father and son cleaned it inside and out together.

After lunch at noon, Tang Xiaochuan drove to the street to buy bottled water, went to the gas station to fill up two cans of gas, bought some cigarettes, tea leaves, and bought four large porcelain jars, each of which could hold five Ten catties of water, he took these porcelain jars to the winery to fetch 200 catties of wine, and then filled 40 catties of wine in plastic jugs.

When he got home, Tang Xiaochuan opened the trunk to move things, and his father came over to have a look, "What are these jars containing?"

"Wine, two hundred catties together. I plan to dig a pit behind the house and bury it. I will dig it out to entertain guests when your granddaughter and grandson get married more than 20 years later! I also bought these two jugs of wine for you. Forty catties, you can keep it and drink it slowly, but let’s say it first, you can only drink one meal a day, and one meal can’t exceed two taels at most!"

The old man bent down and looked at the four jars, "It's good, but is it a little short? Last time your brother got married, he drank fifty of them, one of which was six bottles, and you bought it, don't you remember? "

Tang Xiaochuan thought about it for a while, and it was true. If he was hosting a banquet, there would probably be more people coming, but this kind of bulk pure grain wine has a high alcohol content and is easy to drink, so it is not suitable to drink too much.

"Forget it, that's all, at worst, I'll buy some bottled wine and put it away, and drink it out after more than twenty years!"

The father and son moved everything in together, and dug a big pit behind the house to bury two hundred catties of wine.

"When are you leaving?" Dad asked while washing his hands after finishing the work.

Tang Xiaochuan said: "I'll stay with you at home for two days. Jing Wen may come over. After seeing you, let's go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to register together!"

Dad quickly said: "Your mother is not here. If I had known this earlier, I should have come back a few days later. Wouldn't it be better for her to register after seeing our family?"

"Dad, the times are different now, so don't talk about those red tapes. After registration, I will take her to Jiangcheng to recognize her mother-in-law!"

"That's fine! Oh, by the way, I have to make dinner early today, and I have to report before seven o'clock after dinner!"

Tang Xiaochuan was taken aback, "Report? What kind of report?"

The old man said: "Go to the embankment to control the flood. Just now, after you went to the street, the village cadres notified from door to door that each team has to spend four labors every day. The earlier you go, the sooner you will arrange patrols and watch shifts, and the later you go." It may be scheduled for tomorrow, and they will not be able to come back for a whole day, only those who have finished patrolling can go home!"

Tang Xiaochuan was surprised: "Each team needs four laborers every day? Isn't this a second-line laborer? Is the flood this year so big?"

"This year's flood is very high. The village cadres said that the warning water level is almost exceeded. If the warning water level is exceeded, front-line labor may be required. That is, all people will be mobilized. Except for the old, young, sick and disabled, everyone else will have to go to the dam to participate in flood control!"

Tang Xiaochuan asked: "What if there is no one at home, and the whole family is working out of town, and they can't come back?"

"This is a necessary task. The whole family is working outside. If there is no one at home, people don't have to come back, but every time it is their turn to prevent floods, whichever family has to pay 100 yuan to the village cadres, and the village cadres will help you with the money. Please replace it!"

"So that's the case, Dad, I'll go tonight, you can rest at home!"

"You? Are you okay?"

Tang Xiaochuan was not happy: "Why can't I do it? Don't pick soil to fill the dam, just go on patrol, wear headlights, and knock on bamboo clappers. It's not like I haven't done it before!"

"...That's fine, you go, I just happen to be a little tired from the car!"

After dinner, Tang Xiaochuan took a fan, wore long trousers and a long-sleeved shirt, and brought a single jacket. Regardless of the fact that it is July, the weather is hot, and the temperature can reach 38-9 degrees during the day, but in the middle of the night The temperature on the riverside dam is very low, and the river breeze is very cool, only ten degrees.

"Dad, is the flood control company in our village still in its old position?"

"Yes, the old place!"

When Tang Xiaochuan drove to the flood control company, it was just dark, but the flood control company was already brightly lit. The flood control company was on the dam in another village. It was a small building with two floors on the second floor.

Since the great flood in 1998, the government has built such a small building every one kilometer along the embankment, which is called a sentry tower. There used to be a shed, called a sentry tower. This sentry tower is only used during flood control It was just opened, and the door is usually closed and sealed. There is water, electricity, kitchen, bathroom and sleeping room inside. During the flood control period, the village cadres on duty live here. They are responsible for registering villagers who come to report every day and arranging patrols.

Before Tang Xiaochuan parked the car, the villagers who had already rushed to report looked over with curious eyes.

When Tang Xiaochuan got out of the car, he saw two people he knew, they were from his team, "Uncle Lu, Uncle Zhang, are you also here for flood prevention?"

Seeing him say hello, the two hurried forward with a smile: "Yes, Hanchen, when did you come back?"

"Come back today, this won't let me catch up!"

"No way, a boss as big as you is also here to prevent floods? I heard people say that you make millions a second!"

Tang Xiaochuan said with a smile: "It's all blown out by others, it's just nonsense! Besides, my boss is also from our village, so I still have to do my duty!"

At this time, the village cadres came out of the post when they heard the movement, and it was Secretary Wei, the village party secretary, who was on duty. Secretary Wei smiled and said, "Oh, Boss Tang is back!"
