I looked for them over there but found them here on the farm.
Tan Shaoting was responsible for lighting the fire, and Su Yuanyuan was responsible for cleaning up the house and wiping down everything.
After finishing the work, Su Yuanyuan felt much better. The anger also disappeared.
The two of them had dinner in the evening, "Our wheat seeds should be exposed."
"Okay, if someone asks us again, we'll just tell you. If not, forget it."
"Okay. I just thought about it. I must experiment to see if I can grow winter wheat."
"Okay, but it's just a matter of wheat seeds."
Su Yuanyuan rolled her eyes at Tan Shaoting and said simply, she didn't care about the loss of wheat seeds, but her work was in vain.
No matter what, give it a try.
"Bring ten pounds of wheat to Sun Baoshan tomorrow to see."
"Well, I still don't know how the field department will arrange it."
"No matter how arranged it is, we can't plant seeds now."
"We just go with the flow."
"Why don't we go out and stay here while I make trouble?"
"Is it okay to go out at this time? I probably won't agree."
"I can't farm anyway, how about you stay at home and I go out?"
"That won't work."
After dinner, Su Yuanyuan refused to practice Qigong and went to bed directly.
The next day, the two of them had breakfast and fed the animals. Tan Shaoting and the two of them drove to the field department carrying ten kilograms of wheat on their backs.
When they got here, Feng Baoshan had already arrived.
"You two are finally back. How are you? Have you completed the tasks assigned above?"
Tan Shaoting nodded, "We found us through the train station. We came back before we reached the major cotton-producing province."
"Xiao Tan, what are you carrying?"
"Director Feng, this is the wheat we got back. Bring it over and show it to you."
"wheat?"
"It should be winter wheat or something, but we don't know."
Feng Baoshan grabbed a handful and saw that the grains were really big.
"How much did you bring back?"
"Not much, just three hundred kilograms."
"Xiao Tan, Xiao Su, you two must not eat this wheat. If we can cultivate the land, we will be wheat farmers."
Su Yuanyuan has already inquired with the farmer. The wheat was planted in May and can be harvested in September or October. The temperatures on both sides are about the same. Is it okay?
So she told Feng Baoshan about it.
"We can't farm now anyway." Feng Baoshan sighed after finishing speaking.
"You must not eat this wheat. You don't bring much back, so just plant it in your own land. If it's possible, of course it's best. If it's not, there's nothing you can do."
This is quite a bachelor thing to say, but it is the fact.
"Director Feng, can we farm this year? Can we farm?"
"What kind of seeds should I plant? The land is so dry that it won't freeze, and there's no moisture at all. What else can I plant?"
"Director Feng, then I still want to go there." Su Yuanyuan felt that she should say something.
According to Tan Shaoting, it won't start raining until July, and he will come back at the end of June.
"Xiao Su, it's better not to come out. We are going to build a reservoir during this period. It can't always be a drought. Our farm will build a reservoir next to your land. If we build it bigger, even if there is another drought in the future, it can still
Some relief.”
Su Yuanyuan nodded, "Okay, we'll just wait and make arrangements."
In fact, what she wanted to say was that the river had dried up, so what would be the use of building a reservoir? But she was a small person, and she would make others unhappy if she talked too much. It would be better to just obey the arrangements.
"Director Feng, that means that reservoirs will be built on our two lands. What will happen to our two lands then?"
"We have already decided in a meeting. Your land is right next to the reservoir. Your mission will be exempted for the first year."
Everyone knows that these two and a half-year-old children have cleaned up the land. If the land is allocated to others, it will definitely be raw land. When the time comes, we will have to open up wasteland again, so it is right to exempt others from the task for a year.
Su Yuanyuan's mind moved. "Director Feng, does the reservoir allow fish farming?"
There are very few fish here. Although it is not far from the river, there are no fish even if you want to eat it in winter.
"fish culture?"
"Yes. The dug reservoir will later be used to raise fish."
Feng Baoshan shook his head, "Even if it can be raised, the fry can't be found. It's better to wait until the reservoir is built and there is water."
Su Yuanyuan nodded. She said it too early, and there would be nothing that could be done within a year or two.
Since they knew that the reservoir would be dug early, the two of them went back in a good manner.
"Our house should be able to stay. If we can raise fish in the future, it will be perfect to live here."
"Director Feng said that it needs to be built bigger, so I guess this house may not be able to be saved."
The two of them did not go home directly, but went to Zhao's house.
The five brothers and sisters were all working on the kang, and the two boys were holding the soles of their shoes. Their hands were strong and they could hold the soles of their shoes just right.
The three girls make shoes.
"Yuanyuan. What are you doing?"
"We went to the field department. It is estimated that we won't be able to farm this year. We arranged for all of us to dig a reservoir."
"Dig a reservoir?" Zhao Qingxiang knew that he had already remembered the time of digging a reservoir in his hometown.
"Yes, it's right there in our land. Just dig at the puddle."
"Yuanyuan, what should we eat?"
"I guess he's in charge of the food. Otherwise, where would anyone be able to do it?"
"Yuanyuan, are our sweet potatoes still planted?" Zhao Xiaojing asked worriedly.
"You have to plant some, otherwise there will be nothing to eat until winter. I have film at home, and I will raise seedlings in your field in a few days."
"Yuanyuan, we decided to plant a variety of Japanese melons, the one with the highest yield."
"Japanese melon seedlings and sweet potatoes can be grown together."
"Yuanyuan, a reservoir has been dug in your land, what should you do?"
"Give us land. Spare us a year's work."
"Then where is your land?"
"It said it was near the reservoir."
Zhao Qingxiang knew that digging the reservoir was very tiring, and he felt scared.
After the two left, the five brothers and sisters continued their work.
The two of them returned home and began to clean up.
"Our house still needs to be rebuilt, and we don't know the location now, otherwise we can start building it."
"I guess Director Feng and the others don't know the exact size of the reservoir, so they have to work on it. We should be able to live here for a long time."
Su Yuanyuan felt horrified just thinking about it. It would be better if there was an excavator, so that people could dig with a shovel and a pickaxe, and they would have to carry all the soil out. This workload is too much. I feel tired just thinking about it.
"Tan Shaoting, you said it will rain in July, but you won't necessarily dig much by then. Farming will definitely be the main focus by then. The reservoir will definitely not continue to be dug by then."
"We probably won't even be able to occupy our land."
"It should be like this. After mainly farming, we don't have time to dig reservoirs."
