"Director Feng, Team Leader Ma, and everyone else, what do you want to do with us?"
Feng Baoshan saw that even though the young man carrying the hoe was covered in dirt, he was still among the best. Although he was wearing shabby clothes and standing in the field, he still couldn't hide his splendor.
"Come and see how you two farm so well?"
Tan Shaoting smiled, looked at the tightly wrapped Su Yuanyuan, and gave her a calm look.
"Everyone has seen that they are all people who have been doing farm work for so many years. Our crops are average in normal times.
It is because of the severe drought this year that our land looks different.
We don’t have any tips or experience, we just have to work harder than others.”
Feng Baoshan looked at the sweet potato seedlings here. They were now spread all over the ground. He squatted down and opened a bunch. The sweet potatoes were already as thick as a child's wrist.
This year’s sweet potato harvest is not guaranteed to be bumper, but it will definitely not be less than in previous years.
"Okay, very good, you two are very capable."
With Feng Baoshan's approval, others will have opinions, and they will be left alone if they have opinions.
"Director Feng, thank you for your praise. We just did what we should do."
The rest of the people also squatted down and looked at the sweet potatoes that Feng Baoshan was looking at just now.
A smile appeared on the face of the quick-thinking person. The current situation is that people will definitely starve this year. There is food here, and only fools will have trouble with others.
"Two and a half-year-old kids are much better than us."
Su Yuanyuan looked at the changes of these people and curled her lips inwardly, now she understood.
"Xiao Tan, when will your potatoes be out?"
"I'm thinking of releasing it in October."
"Okay, I'll find a few people to help you when the time comes." Feng Baoshan said.
"Thank you, Director Feng." Of course Su Yuanyuan will not refuse. Even if someone secretly takes some, just take some. After all, life is really difficult this year.
Feng Baoshan waved his hand, "Notify Team Leader Ma when you are about to harvest in autumn, and someone will be sent over then."
"I'm here to help, too."
The few remaining people also said the same thing.
Su Yuanyuan looked at Feng Baoshan in embarrassment. If too many people came, how much wages would they have to pay?
In fact, Su Yuanyuan really thinks it won't be too much, but it still needs to be done like this.
"We don't want wages, but you two will sell us some food after you complete the task."
Su Yuanyuan pretended to relax. "That's for sure. We keep what we eat and sell it all."
With such a promise, everyone feels relieved. It is really frustrating to have to spend money to buy food for a year.
After sending away these twelve people, Su Yuanyuan did not go to the field, but returned home.
"Su Yuanyuan, do we really want to sell all our food to them?"
"Yes, they are all sold. I think the autumn harvest will start in mid-September. We will sell everything here and go abroad."
I originally wanted to sell the grain at a high price, but I have a hard time with it. This is a big disaster, and it's really not a good time to make money at this time.
So I just sold them all so that I could still talk better.
Tan Shaoting listened to Su Yuanyuan. He had no objection.
"By the way, we need to go out and buy more snakeskin bags and sacks."
"Can we really get food?"
"It should be possible. I've heard that they use mechanized planting, and there may be some that can't be harvested during the autumn harvest. Then it will be just the two of us."
"Is this just picking it up?" Tan Shaoting said with a smile.
Su Yuanyuan nodded, "Yes, we are just going to pick it up."
They both practiced in the evening, and Tan Shaoting told Su Yuanyuan that she could use magic, and she could pick up food by waving her hands.
So Su Yuanyuan had the motivation to practice again. The two of them drove away the next day. They first went to the nearest village to buy a snakeskin bag and then went to the city. Anyway, these extra preparations are definitely not wrong.
Su Yuanyuan has not been out for several months. There are no obvious changes in the countryside, but the reality is different.
Looking at the young people in groups, Su Yuanyuan felt a little scared.
The two of them bought more than 500 bags and had a lot of tickets in their hands. They bought everything they could. Even if they don't need it now, they will always be useful.
The two came back in the evening to smear the story. Tan Shaoting wanted to come back tomorrow. But Su Yuanyuan said nothing.
"I don't feel safe outside. I want to go home. I must go home."
Tan Shaoting nodded and went back. The two of them sat in the car and ate steamed buns and drank soy milk.
"Would you like to lie down and rest for a while?" Tan Shaoting put a mattress in the car.
"Okay, then I'll go to bed. Call me when you get home."
Staggeringly, it was already past four in the morning when the two of them got home.
Tan Shaoting doesn't feel tired even if he doesn't sleep at night. But with this girl sleeping so soundly beside him, he also has the desire to sleep.
Su Yuanyuan felt someone touching her and opened her eyes alertly.
"I want to carry you in."
Su Yuanyuan sat up and said, "No, I can do it myself."
By this time, it was already dark.
She was no longer sleepy. She began to tidy up the vegetables in the yard, and everything that needed to be put away was sorted.
Tan Shaoting didn't go to bed either. He went back to his yard. There were vegetables here too.
When it was almost seven o'clock, Tan Shaoting came back for dinner.
In the morning, Su Yuanyuan cooked rice porridge and eggplant strips with scrambled eggs.
The two of them had just finished eating when they heard something moving outside.
Tan Shaoting was clearing the table, so Su Yuanyuan went out.
"Auntie, what do you want from me?"
A couple drove a donkey cart over outside. There were six buckets on it.
"Little girl, our family is in the same group as yours. My man's name is Zhu Changlin. I came to your house to get some buckets of water from your house.
All the wells in my house have dried up and there is no water to drink."
Su Yuanyuan smiled and said, "Okay, aunt, please come in."
At this time Tan Shaoting also came out, "Aunt Zhu, are you here to fetch water?"
"Yes, Xiao Tan, are you two really together?"
Why did Su Yuanyuan feel so strange when she heard this? Then she heard Tan Shaoting's answer.
"Aunt Zhu, the two of us are working together. This is much more convenient than being alone."
"Yes, two people are in company."
"Auntie, I'm pressing the water. Now the water supply here is much smaller."
Hou Chunxiang entered someone's yard. Good guy, the yard was full of vegetables. It looked green, but it was much better than theirs.
But this is something he can't envy. His dad said that because it's close to a puddle, the land here has much more water than theirs. It's normal for vegetables and grain to grow well.
In fact, she didn't come here in the first place. She went to several stores and they all said they had no water. So she came here.
