"Yinshun, you finally did a great thing for Xianji Bridge." Zhou Maolin patted Xiao Yinshun's shoulder and expressed high appreciation for Xiao Yinshun's idea.
Xiao Yinshun was confused. I never did anything good before. During the bear crisis, I risked my life many nights patrolling in the ice and snow, but I didn’t get any credit at all. And, Damn, that’s not my idea this time.
I came up with it, isn’t that because I haven’t done any good things yet?
"It's a good idea to let Chang Xing take charge of the teahouse. Yinshun, you've done a great job. I'll go tell Chang Xing about it right now." Zhou Maolin left him still in a daze and hurried out the door.
When Xiao Yinshun came back to his senses, Zhou Maolin had already walked out all the way, Damn! Is it so difficult for me to take the credit? Even though I didn’t come up with the idea, I worked so hard to come here, so there was no hard work? Xiao Yinshun still decided
Don’t care so much about personal gains and losses when doing work.
Zhou Maolin walked to Chang Xing's house in a few steps. The old cat was sunbathing at the door and didn't even bother to raise its eyes. Dahuang saw Zhou Maolin wagging his tail symbolically, and then continued to grab a mouse and play with it.
Dahei was very dissatisfied when he saw Rhubarb having a great time. You are always meddling in other people's business. What use do we, the cat clan, have?
"Hehe, Changxing is Changxing, even a dog will catch mice." Zhou Maolin said with a smile.
The old cat rolled his eyes. Are you saying that the cats raised by Chang Xing are not serious?
"Chang Xing, are you at home?" Zhou Maolin stood at the door and shouted.
The door is open, but you can't just enter other people's homes.
"Here you are!" Chang Xing walked out from the side of the house.
"Chang Xing, I want to tell you something," Zhou Maolin said.
"Come in and sit down." Chang Xing led Zhou Maolin into the house.
There are already a lot of things in the room. There is an Eight Immortals table and four benches, all of which are still white and were completed not long ago.
"Is this wood completely dry?" Zhou Maolin said.
"It's completely dry. It's not a good material, so just use it." Chang Xing said.
"Indeed, with your skills, it would be too wasteful to use this material to make furniture. How about I send you some good materials to practice on?" Zhou Maolin said.
"Okay, Uncle Maolin, just tell me what furniture you want to make. By the way, Uncle Maolin, what did you just say you wanted to tell me about?" Chang Xing reminded Zhou Maolin not to forget about business.
"Look at my memory, I almost forgot all the important things. That's it. The tea seedlings are growing well in the tea farm now, and the momentum is good, but our team has never planted this tea tree before, and no one will care about it. The seedlings are so good, if I give them
If the management is poor, it would be a pity. I have been looking for a suitable person to manage the tea farm. After much deliberation, I have not found the right person.
Today Yinshun came to talk to me and asked you to take charge of this tea farm. I was really confused. Why didn't I think of you before? You are now also a member of the Xianjiqiao brigade. Logically, you must participate in the labor of the production team.
Only by working with the production team can you get work points. But it is too wasteful for you to work and get work points.
How about this? From now on, you will be the director of the tea farm and be responsible for managing the tea farm. The director of the tea farm is considered a brigade cadre and enjoys the treatment of a brigade cadre and gets full work points. What do you think?"
Chang Xing thought for a while and then agreed: "I want it."
"Don't worry, you only need to be responsible for looking after the tea farm. When the time comes, the team will arrange labor to do the chores on the tea farm, such as weeding, loosening the soil, fertilizing, etc. You don't need to do these things. As long as there are no problems with the tea trees.
Just fine." Zhou Maolin said.
"Yes." Chang Xing agreed. Seeing the tea farm was really suitable for him. He turned to Lao Mao and Dahuang and said, "You heard it. From now on, the tea farm will be under my control. You two have nothing to do. Take the lead."
Follow Dahei to the tea farm. Don't let the animals ruin the tea farm. Dahuang, if you take care of the tea farm, I will get a bitch to come back and be your mother-in-law."
Big Yellow's tail was wagging happily, and it was humming and a little embarrassed. Of course, what it meant was, I don't want the ugly one, I want the beautiful one.
How does Chang Xing know what the aesthetics of Rhubarb are? He thought to himself, how about going to the mountains to get a female wolf for Rhubarb one day to match it? I don’t know if it can suppress it, so as not to be overwhelmed by a female wolf in the future.
Don't start.
The old cat meowed, with a tone of extreme disdain in his voice.
"Old cat, you're already old. Just forget it. If I give you a female cat, you won't be able to move. How about giving Dahei a female cat?" Chang Xing said with a smile.
The old cat meowed, very angry. Will this cat be as useless as Dahuang? Ordinary female cats are not worthy of my Dahei. This cat has her own opinions. You little brat, please don’t cause trouble here.
"It's up to you. If you really can't survive, I will find a way to deal with Dahei in the future. The teahouse is not joking with you. Just take them to see it." Chang Xing said.
On the same day, Chang Xing took Lao Mao and others to the tea farm to have a look. The tea farm looked very impressive, with layers of stairs dug out on the mountain. It looked like a very huge project. A team from the Xianji Bridge Brigade
The people and horses have been busy for a long time to turn the two barren mountains into what they are now. The weeds and thatch on the mountains have been thoroughly cleared, but the weeds cannot be burned away. The spring breeze blows and grows again, and some thatch roots that have not been removed actually grow back.
The lush green thatch came out.
Tea seedlings also emerged from the loess. They looked tender and fragile. If some wild animals came, they would really destroy these tea seedlings. Fortunately, this place is far away from the village of Xianjiqiao Brigade, otherwise
Locally speaking, the chickens and ducks raised by each household can use all these tea seedlings as food.
The old cat looked at the two mountains and meowed very dissatisfiedly. If you let me guard such a big mountain, you want to tire me to death. You obviously have the solution, but you want me to tire myself to death.
, Smelly Taoist priest, your conscience has become bad!
Chang Xing looked at these two tea farms. It was really not easy to defend them. It seemed like they had to arrange some arrangements. Otherwise, if everyone leaves this mountain to me, all the tea trees on the mountain would be destroyed. Why don't you blame me to death?
Ah. This teahouse is the most important part of the prosperity of Xianji Bridge. It is the key to Xianji Bridge's development of communism.
Chang Xing carried a load of dustpan and dug some strange saplings everywhere. They were planted in every corner of the tea farm.
Zhou Maolin knew that Chang Xing had come to the tea farm, so he came over to take a look. When he saw Chang Xing busy planting trees, he walked over to take a look and saw that they were all miscellaneous shrubs with names that he could not name.
"What's the use of planting this?" Zhou Maolin asked puzzledly.
"How can I defend such two huge mountains by myself? What if a group of animals come and destroy the tea trees?" Chang Xing said.
"Can these saplings prevent livestock?" Zhou Maolin was very puzzled. I have lived for decades and have never seen this before!
"Well. As long as you place it in the right position, you can prevent it." Chang Xing said.
"Then you can do whatever you want. As long as we save one of these two huge tea mountains, our Xianji Bridge will have the capital to make a fortune in the future." Zhou Maolin said with great ambition.
"What if I can only save one mountain of tea trees?" Chang Xing said angrily. If I can't save two mountains of tea trees after putting in so much effort, the eight ancestors I invited will probably be killed from the coffin.
Jumped out. By the way, did the Patriarch become an immortal?
After Zhou Maolin left, the old cat hurriedly meowed at Chang Xing. The idea was that since you had a way to guard against the animals, the cat wouldn't have to work so hard to come here every day, right?
"Of course you have to come. The things I have arranged can only protect against animals, but not people. From now on, you are mainly responsible for keeping an eye on this place and not letting people come here intentionally to cause damage," Chang Xing said.
The old cat meowed dissatisfiedly, "Why? I didn't get any work points."
"You think the wine brewed by me is free for you. It doesn't matter if you don't come. The wine will be gone in the future. The monkey wine was shared with you a long time ago. I gave you my share and drank a lot.
From now on, you can only drink if you do things for me. If you continue to fool around with those two guys, don't even think about getting a drop of wine." Chang Xing threatened.
The old cat was so angry that his hair stood up. He really wanted to jump up and scratch the stinking Taoist priest's face. He really thought that this cat was easy to bully! But the old cat didn't move, and his arms couldn't twist the thigh. He didn't know that even if he jumped up, he could
It can't scratch the little Taoist's face, but it can be sure that after scratching it, the little Taoist will definitely not let it live.
Chang Xing looked at the old cat with a smile. The old cat meowed and ran away. It was so insidious that he actually set a trap for me. Fortunately, I didn't fall for it.
Chang Xing planted a group of strange shrubs in the tea farm, and the tea farm suddenly became different from before. Although there was no difference from the outside, after walking around the tea farm, I always felt that it was quite pleasant to stay here.
Comfortable. The air seems particularly fresh.
After a while, Zhou Maolin went up the mountain again and was surprised to see that the tea seedlings in the tea farm had grown as tall as chopsticks, and many of them had branches. But the thatch also grew very fast.
"This grass grows really fast. I'll organize people to come up and weed immediately. We can't let the thatch destroy the tea saplings.
"Uncle Maolin, I think we should plant some pigweed here after weeding the grass. The land is too empty and all the water has evaporated. When the pigweed grows in the future, it can be used to feed pigs and can also be used for plowing.
Come here and use it as fertilizer." Chang Xing said.
"This matter is yours to take care of. You can do whatever you want. How about our brigade build another pig farm? Specifically, use the pig grass from the tea farm to raise pigs?" Zhou Maolin suddenly had an idea.
"It's worth it. Anyway, if these two big mountains are planted with pigweed, there will be a lot of pigweed. Just feeding pigweed is enough." Chang Xing said.
"That's it, I will be responsible for this matter. For the pigweed planting, I will find a way to get pigweed seeds." After Zhou Maolin finished speaking, he went down the mountain. When he arrived at the brigade, he immediately arranged for people to find a suitable place to build a pig pen, and then
He also asked Xiao Yinshun to go to the agricultural machinery station to get pigweed seeds.
The agricultural machinery station used to promote green feed, including milkvetch planted in rice fields, milkweed planted in the ground, and water hyacinth raised in ponds. They are all green plants that grow very fast. But before
Zhou Maolin didn't pay much attention to it. Now that he was planning to start a pig farm, he thought of going to the agricultural machinery station to ask for seeds.
Xiao Yinshun was very dissatisfied when he became an errand boy. Why did I, a dignified militia company commander, become an errand boy?
Zhou Maolin didn't care whether Xiao Yinshun felt aggrieved or not. He hurriedly called Zhang Fangqing over.
"Our brigade wants to set up a pig farm?" Zhang Fangqing was very surprised by Zhou Maolin's sudden decision.
Zhou Maolin nodded: "The tea farm is two big mountains, and the tea trees can't grow at once. Chang Xing said that we can plant pigweed, which will be better for the tea trees. There must be a place to deal with so many pigweeds. It just works.
A pig farm.”
"What happens after the tea seedlings grow? Where can we get pigweed then?" Zhang Fangqing asked worriedly.
"Isn't this easy? By the time the tea trees grow, the pigs will have grown up and be killed, right? Even if our pig farm continues, I don't know if we open up the barren hills and plant other trees, or we can still plant pigweed for a few years.
We have so many barren hills in Xianji Bridge, why are we afraid that there will be no place to grow pigweed?" Zhou Maolin said.
"That's true. Secretary Maolin, you have to think about it now." Zhang Fangqing said.
"To tell you the truth, every time I'm with Chang Xing, I always have good ideas. It seems like I did the right thing by letting Chang Xing move down the mountain. Especially giving the house site to Chang Xing was so smart!" Zhou Maolin
He praised himself so much that when he woke up from his narcissism, Zhang Fangqing had been gone for a long time.
Setting up a pig farm is not a big deal. Xianji Bridge is so big that it is very easy to build a pig farm. The folks from Xianji Bridge worked together and the pig farm was built in a short time. It just so happened that the pig grass on the mountain was also
When the piglets grew, Zhou Maolin asked Xiao Yinshun to go to the market again and buy back all the piglets sold in the market. He raised a hundred piglets at once. According to Zhou Maolin, there are not a hundred piglets, so I’m sorry to call him a piglet.
Hundred Pig Farm.
These one hundred piglets have almost thrown away all of Xianjiqiao's belongings. I don't know how long it will take to accumulate before Xianjiqiao's small treasury is full again.
People from the Xianjiqiao brigade often saw Zhou Maolin running first to the tea farm and then to the pig farm, looking at the blue sky and shouting: Pig! Grow up quickly!
Fortunately, the hundred piglets grew very strong and none of them was damaged. Otherwise, Zhou Maolin wonders whether he would have cried.
Seeing that the seedlings in the rice field are already green and green, they are dancing in the breeze. It is the time to transplant rice.
The educated young people at Youth Farm have long been gearing up to get started. The paddy fields were plowed by the folks from Xianjiqiao who brought their cows over to help plow them.
"At this time, the night school will stop for a while. Everyone should focus on transplanting rice seedlings. Secretary Maolin said that we must race against time when transplanting rice seedlings. The time during the rice seedling period is limited. The earlier the rice seedlings are planted, the better it will be for the growth of the seedlings.
.
"There is something wrong with our rice seeds. The growth of the rice seedlings is a little poor. We must not have any more problems at this time. Otherwise, our rations will have to reach out to Xianji Bridge. According to the spirit of the superiors, a group of educated young people will come to us this year.
Youth Farm. We not only have to meet our own rations, we also have to prepare rations for these future comrades." As soon as Zhao Jianguo finished speaking, the intellectual youths meeting on the lawn of the Youth Farm started to make a fuss.
"Will anyone else come?"
"Yes. Are we going to drive all the young people to the countryside?"
"Don't you see it yet? Even if we stay in the city, will there be a place for us? Now that there is a food shortage, isn't it a shortcut to solve the problem if we drive all of us who are idle people to the countryside to fend for ourselves?"
"Why do you talk like that? Who forced you when you came here? You didn't come here on your own initiative. Now that you have experienced the pain, you are saying such things. Isn't it inappropriate?" Pan Xiaoling looked at the man who just spoke.
youth.
The intellectual young man was a little afraid to face Pan Xiaoling's scrutiny and lowered his head: "I just talked casually to vent my frustration."
"Since I decided to go to the countryside by myself, don't blame others." Pan Xiaoling said.
Zhao Jianguo also took the opportunity to say: "Comrade Pan Xiaoling is right. At the beginning, we went to the mountains and countryside with full enthusiasm, and we could not give up because of temporary difficulties. In fact, from going to the countryside to now, we have experienced a lot of things. From these things,
We learned painful lessons, but these experiences also made us grow. I have never regretted my original choice, and I will go on firmly. If we had not come to Xianji Bridge, maybe we would still be doing nothing in the city. But here,
Although it was very hard, every day was fulfilling.”
"Jianguo is right! We are destined to be together, so we should work together. Here, we can give full play to our talents. Why can't we create a sky under such difficult conditions?" Dai Fudong immediately echoed.
The blood of the educated young people suddenly boiled again. Although they don't know when they will be depressed again, maybe after going through all kinds of hardships, maybe after going through all kinds of hardships, but at least now they have the fighting spirit to continue.
Because it was the first time to transplant rice seedlings, in order to make the rice seedlings look better, the educated young people specially asked two people to pull the line, and the rest inserted the seedlings on that line. After inserting one row, they continued to move the line forward.
The rice fields planted in this way are indeed very beautiful, but their progress is very slow. One or twenty people only planted three or four acres of fields in one day. If this continues, the rice fields of the Youth Farm will not be fully planted in half a month.
.It’s almost the rice harvest period.
"This is not an option. If the seedlings cannot be planted in time, they will break." Zhao Jianguo did not forget Zhou Maolin's warning.
"But now we can't increase our speed at all." Dai Fudong said.
"I don't think it's important to look good when inserting the fields. Just keep a certain distance between rows when inserting. It doesn't matter how beautiful it is. It's a complete waste of labor for two people to pull the wires. In addition, a lot of time is wasted due to alignment. In this situation, we
There is no way to pay attention to beauty." Feng Wanlin said.
"I agree with Feng Wanlin's opinion. As long as the seedlings are properly spaced between rows. Arranging them neatly will not increase the yield, but will delay our time. The people in Xianjiqiao do not line up the seedlings like we do. They are fast.
Much more." Wu Wanyi said.
"They are already more skilled than us. Isn't it normal to be faster than us?" Zhou Xianglin said.
"It's normal, but one person can plant almost an acre of land a day. How many fields have we planted? If this continues, we may not be able to plant all the fields in a month," Wu Wanyi said.
"Stop arguing. We can't go on like this. We have to hurry up. I agree not to pull the wire anymore, but the spacing between rows must be maintained. When you plant the rice seedlings, make your own estimates." Zhao Jianguo said.
