The engineers in the city said they had to wait for the measurements, so Jiang Jianguo and his team had no choice but to wait.
After the dinner, Jiang Jianguo asked Gu Nanshan and the others to have a good rest, and left with Jiang Dali and the others.
Walking outside, Jiang Dali cursed: "Damn it! I held a meeting yesterday to talk about building the canal, and now I don't know when it will be done. These people are causing trouble."
Jiang Jianguo glanced at him and said, "Control your temper. Don't let this happen to you. Let's go home first."
…
Su Yuhe had just finished lunch and did not go to rest. Instead, she was sorting herbs with Shi Kangyuan in the yard.
Seeing Jiang Lin coming back, he asked, "Did you pick him up?"
Jiang Lin nodded and went to get a bucket of water to wash his face. "Five people, some engineers from the city, are eating at the commune."
"Then you didn't eat?"
"No one called me, and the food there isn't as delicious as ours."
Su Yuhe was happy: "Then go and eat quickly. I just stir-fried some cabbage and kohlrabi, and there's some porridge in the pot. I wonder if it's as good as the meat at the commune."
When entertaining people sent down from above, the first meal must always include meat.
Jiang Lin heard the joking in Su Yuhe's words and said, "Even eating plain porridge at home is more delicious than eating outside."
Su Yuhe packed up the herbs and felt a little sleepy, so she went back to her room and lay down for a nap.
When he got up, Jiang Lin was sitting in the yard chopping bamboo strips.
When Ye Yunshu was blind, she could weave bamboo baskets and other bamboo products just by feeling them. Now that she can see, she can weave more varieties.
Seeing that Ye Yunshu liked weaving, Jiang Lin asked her to weave. Jiang Lin took the woven bamboo products to the city and many people bought them.
Seeing that she could make money from this, Ye Yunshu either grew vegetables and cleaned the house at home, or weaved bamboo products, and no longer thought about going out to work.
Su Yuhe stood at the door and stared at Jiang Lin for a while. When Jiang Lin noticed her gaze, Su Yuhe smiled and said, "Don't you want to take a nap?"
"I'm not going to sleep anymore," Jiang Lin said. "I didn't go to work this morning, so I'm not tired."
The two chatted peacefully in the yard for a while, then went out to work in the fields.
Jiang Lin had just been hoeing the ground for a while when Jiang Jianguo came to call him: "Those engineers said they want to go up the mountain to take a look and measure something. Jiang Lin, come with them."
Jiang Lin and Su Yuhe looked at each other and responded to Jiang Jianguo: "Here I am, uncle."
On the way, Jiang Jianguo said to Jiang Lin, "I thought they would wait until tomorrow to see it, but I didn't expect them to say they were leaving during lunch break."
Jiang Lin hummed but didn't answer.
Jiang Jianguo was used to Jiang Lin's temper, so he continued, "What do you think those engineers are thinking? We just want to build a canal for irrigation. How long will it take them to finish this? At least a year or two."
Jiang Lin was silent for a moment, then said, "They have their reasons. We only do what we can see right now and want to use it immediately. They may be thinking in the long term. Let's go and see first."
"Hey, it has to be you. Okay, then just watch first."
Gu Nanshan was carrying a small bag, while Li Yunheng and the others were each carrying a packed bag. Jiang Jianguo chuckled, "Let's put this luggage inside first. It won't get lost. Why would we bring all this stuff up the mountain?"
Mo Wen explained: "It contains all the things needed for engineering calculations."
Jiang Jianguo felt embarrassed: "Haha, let's go up the mountain then."
He wiped his face and winked at Jiang Lin.
Jiang Lin understood and gestured, "Teacher Gu, come this way."
Gu Nanshan looked up at Jiang Lin and asked, "Your name is Jiang Lin?"
Jiang Lin nodded. Gu Nanshan was very interested in Jiang Lin's background and asked, "Are you working with everyone now?"
Jiang Lin said: "If I don't work, how can I eat?"
…
When they got to the mountain, Jiang Jianguo wanted to talk, so Gu Nanshan directly arranged for several students to observe and measure.
Jiang Jianguo and several members who came with him had no choice but to shut up.
After a long day of calculations, Li Yunheng came over and said, "The rocks here are very hard and can be used as materials for canal construction. We've also examined the conditions on the mountain and are planning to build a canal to divert water for irrigation... I'll tell you the details when I get back."
"What do you mean? Divert water from the mountain? That will take a long time to build." Jiang Jianguo frowned. Their original plan was to divert water from the big river near the village for irrigation.
Jiang Lin said, "This is good. If it's done well, it can prevent mountain torrents and provide drinking water when there's no water. Since we've done it, let's do it well."
Jiang Jianguo paused. This was true, but...
Gu Nanshan looked at Jiang Lin in surprise and said, "Let's go back and have a meeting first. How many people are needed, how to build it, and how long it should be? Let's brainstorm at the meeting."
Jiang Jianguo whispered to Jiang Lin, "What does 'collect benefits' mean?"
"It means to let everyone make suggestions."
Jiang Jianguo nodded thoughtfully and asked someone to call over several production team leaders and the educated youth team leader.
Jiang Dali felt that these people were just bored. He had already said everything that needed to be said in the meeting, so why were there still so many trivial matters?
Song Zhiguo was an educated youth, and had a lot of experience, so he could chat with Gu Nanshan and others.
Although they said they were making suggestions, Gu Nanshan actually did not expect these people who had not received any training in system science engineering theory to come up with any constructive opinions.
The teachers and students talked about a lot of things that Jiang Jianguo and his friends couldn't understand, wrote and drew for a long time, and finally announced the conclusion.
Jiang Dali: "Can we start work tomorrow?"
Gu Nanshan shook his head: "Wait two more days, these still need to be verified."
Mo Wen agreed: "Yes, we still have to wait for approval. If we start the work without permission, who will be held responsible if something goes wrong?"
…
After the meeting, Jiang Jianguo complained to Jiang Lin: "I don't know what these people are trying to do. What kind of benefit are they gathering? They are just talking to each other."
Jiang Lin didn't refute. He said a few words to Jiang Jianguo and went home.
When Su Yuhe came back from work, she found that Jiang Lin had not come back either. Jiang Xiaohai sent over two kilograms of duck meat, saying that Jiang Lin asked him to keep it.
She smiled and said thank you to Jiang Xiaohai: "Stay and have dinner with us."
Jiang Xiaohai waved his hand and said, "My mother is waiting at home."
Su Yuhe didn't stay any longer and turned around to clean the duck meat.
The duck meat had no peculiar smell, so it must have been killed not long ago. Su Yuhe rinsed it with clean water twice.
Add onions, ginger and liquor and cook. While it is boiling, ask Dandan to watch the fire. She goes to the field to pick some beans and pumpkins.
She worked quickly, and when she came back, the fire was not yet on, but it was almost done. She skimmed off the foam in the pot, picked the beans, cut the pumpkin into pieces, and put them into the pot to stew with the duck meat.
We'll have this pot tonight, and some stir-fried cabbage and rice.
When it was almost time for dinner, Jiang Lin came back with something in his hand.
Su Yuhe took a look and asked: "What are you holding?"
"Didn't I go up the mountain? I saw a lot of wild fruits were ripe. Anyway, I was just there to make up the numbers, so I picked a lot of wild fruits, including hawthorns and prickly ash. I washed them and gave them to you to eat."
"Then go wash it." Su Yuhe brought out the food.
In summer, we move the dining table to the yard and eat outside, which is very cool.
Jiang Lin washed a plate of wild fruits, which looked very attractive on the dining table with their bright red color.
