This little granddaughter of ours is no ordinary person. What she said must be true.
Tiantian said that this person named Shen Zizhen is not simple, that means he is really not simple.
Grandma Su also likes people like this.
She also knows now that those who are truly capable can make everyone live a well-fed life.
That's right, Grandma Su's current idea is to be full.
Over the years, I have been scared of hunger!
In Grandma Su's heart, nothing is more precious than food. Even gold and silver are not as useful as food in Grandma Su's heart.
"My dear, tell me, who can make us all eat this?"
Su Xiaotian nodded firmly: "Definitely!"
Even if Shen Zizhen cannot feed everyone in the Red Heart Brigade now, in a few years, after Shen Zizhen's new varieties of grain seeds are cultivated, many people will be able to have enough to eat.
"Milk, the Dragon King said that this person is very capable. Not only can he make us full, but he can also make us eat white flour and white rice every day."
When Grandma Su heard this, she became excited.
Wouldn't such a capable person be more powerful than Du Tonghe?
Du Tonghe gave every household more food last year. If this person named Shen Zizhen was more powerful, wouldn't the food be distributed even more this year?
"How about telling the captain?"
Su Xiaotian said solemnly: "Okay, Mom, let me talk later."
She is young, so the captain may not listen to what she says, but if grandpa talks about it, the captain will probably listen.
Little did Su Xiaotian know that the captain had noticed her difference a long time ago and would even help cover up her difference in many cases.
Even if Grandpa Su went to talk about this matter, the captain could guess the reason.
Grandma Su packed up a few pieces of clothes she had changed and prepared to go to the river to wash them, while she was still mumbling.
"Two years ago, I said that as bold as a person is, the land will be more productive. I always thought this was wrong. But now I know it is true."
"Nai, no matter how talented a person is, they can only increase grain production a little, but they certainly can't make it as bold as a person or as productive as the land." Su Xiaotian couldn't help but laugh.
Not to mention this era, even in a few decades, food production will not be able to increase indefinitely.
Grandma Su was cheerful and didn't care what her little granddaughter said. Her requirements were not high, as long as she could eat enough.
Let all these capable people come, and if one of them can increase the yield of their land by several dozen kilograms, it will be fine.
A little adds up to a lot!
Shen Zizhen is a middle-aged man in his forties. He is skinny and not in good health. He also has several injuries and cannot even straighten his waist when walking.
He is a university professor in the capital. Although his situation has not been very good these past few years, he can still manage to survive.
What he didn't expect was that when he faced another round of blows, his wife and children did not choose to stand with him and face it, but severed ties with him and told his opponents some of his affairs.
He was brutally suppressed and even seriously injured, and was sent from the capital to the northwest border.
After experiencing such a blow, he was devastated. The reason why he did not choose to commit suicide was because he still had a research project in hand that was about to produce results.
But being suddenly transported to the northwest, Shen Zizhen felt that maybe in this life, he would never return to his laboratory or see his experimental field again.
He lived in Dutong and the small house next door with a blank expression. This house had nothing, and he took nothing with him.
Chi Yiyuan brought some hay and spread it on the kang for him.
Shen Zizhen felt that perhaps, even this little hay was not necessary. What else could a person living in a cowshed care about?
Perhaps, in the days to come, he will face endless destruction and torture.
After all, even relatives can push him off the cliff for various reasons, let alone strangers.
However, what surprised him was that at night, someone quietly placed a few steamed buns with multi-grain noodles at his door, as well as a quilt with many patches.
Although the steamed buns were made from grains and the quilt was covered with patches, it still made the ice in Shen Zizhen's heart melt a little.
He looked at the quilt and steamed buns with mixed feelings.
Unexpectedly, there are such kind-hearted people among the members of the Red Heart Brigade, and they can treat a sinner like him kindly.
At this time, the team captain Su Jiujiu, who had left in a hurry after sending him to the bullpen, came back again.
He didn't come empty-handed, but brought a lot of things.
"Comrade Shen, you can eat this food first. The conditions in our Red Heart Brigade are not good and we don't have much fine food. I really feel wronged to you."
People from the old Su family said that this Shen Zizhen was a talent and he must treat her well.
The torture and humiliation that Shen Zizhen imagined did not appear. For a moment, he felt that the life living in the cowshed might be different from what he had guessed.
The captain opened the two bags he brought over and showed them to Shen Zizhen.
"This is a bag of mixed noodles. Our members of the Red Heart Brigade eat the whole noodles the most. We can make them into batter or gnocchi, but we can't eat noodles."
When he said this, Su Changjiu felt a little embarrassed.
I am from a big city, so how can I be used to eating thick rice and noodles like this?
But this is the only food the brigade can produce.
"This is a bag of millet. It's good for making porridge. Comrade Shen, the millet here nourishes people and nourishes the stomach." Su Jiujiu said sincerely.
Shen Zizhen looked at the two small bags in front of her and the rough rice noodles inside. Her nose felt sour and she almost shed tears.
"Comrade Shen, I know you are from a big city, but the conditions here are like this!"
Shen Zizhen couldn't hold back her tears after looking at the honest and honest Su Jiujiu.
"Captain, thank you so much!" After a long time, Shen Zizhen thanked her from the bottom of her heart.
Since there are many people who are the icing on the cake, there are fewer people who can provide help in times of need.
The captain of the Red Heart Brigade not only did not bring anyone to humiliate him, he also sent him rice and noodles.
"No need to thank me, you will be a member of our Red Heart Brigade when you arrive."
Shen Zizhen smiled bitterly, could it be the same? Obviously it wouldn't be the same.
"Captain, I am a useless person and a sinner. I will be content if I can survive!"
Shen Zizhen said this very humbly and did not dare to think of being treated the same as other people.
When he first arrived, no matter how polite the captain's words were, he still had to be on guard.
Children and wives can betray each other. If you trust a stranger, who will say that you will not fall into eternal disaster?
Looking at Shen Zizhen's expression, Su Jiujiu knew that he didn't believe it at all, but there were still things that needed to be said.
"I know that you are a capable person. People like you are not qualified to be left here."
When Shen Zizhen heard this, she was shocked.
He waved his hand quickly: "I don't dare to take it, I don't dare to take it. I'm not a capable person. It's a favor for me to have a place in the Heart Team!"
It's better not to have the ability, so as not to not even know how you will die.
Now he just wants to live in peace.
Su Jiujiu sighed, the person in front of him named Shen Zizhen had a worse mentality than the two old men next door.
That's all, some things, if you just take your time and look at them, they will eventually get better.
"Don't worry, as long as you work peacefully in our Red Heart Brigade, all the treatment will be the same as other members. If you don't eat well, you won't go hungry."
After Su Jiujiu said this, he left directly.
Shen Zizhen watched Su Jiujiu leave and didn't react for a long time.
By this time, it was getting dark, and people who had gone to the fields were coming back one after another.
Chi Ge, Du Tong and the couple returned to the cowshed covered in dirt and saw Shen Zizhen under the golden sunset.
Du Tonghe had already heard that there was another person in the team today, named Shen Zizhen, so he took the initiative to speak without waiting for others to introduce him.
"You are Comrade Shen Zizhen, whose name I have admired for a long time!" Du Tonghe's tone was filled with excitement, and his eyes were even shining.
Those who don’t know, just treat it as if they are seeing relatives.
"you are?"
Shen Zizhen saw Du Tonghe, who seemed to be an old man with good spirits, but he didn't recognize him.
Why does he look at himself with such eager eyes?
"We will be neighbors from now on. We both live in cowsheds. My name is Du Tonghe, and this is Chi Ge!"
Shen Zizhen looked at Du Tonghe and Chi Ge who were both in good spirits, and felt unbelievable for a moment.
Is this a person living in a cowshed? It’s different from what I imagined.
They were much older than him, but their spirits were very good, not much different from the members he saw today.
If they didn't say they lived in a cowshed, he wouldn't believe it.
"You really live in a cowshed?" he asked in disbelief.
"Yes, I have lived in the cowshed for several years, and Lao Du and his wife were one year ahead of you." Chi Ge said with a smile: "From now on, when we live together, we have to take care of each other."
He didn't know very well what kind of person Shen Zizhen was, but Xiaotian said that this person was good, so he believed that this person was good.
After all, that kid Xiaotian has never said he missed it.
"Are you Professor Chi Ge from Beijing University?"
At this time, Shen Zizhen finally remembered why the name of this old man named Chi Ge was so familiar.
When I was in Beijing, I had heard that Chi Ge, a professor at Beijing University, had also been sent to the northwest, but I didn't expect that they would actually live together.
A few years ago, he had listened to Chi Ge's class, and he didn't expect that two people from the capital would meet in this small village in the northwest under such circumstances.
"There is no need to mention what happened back then. Comrade Xiao Shen, the Red Heart Brigade is not bad. You can just live here with peace of mind." Chi Ge looked around and then whispered: "The members of this brigade have no bad intentions! "
Don’t you have any bad intentions? Do the people in this place really have pure minds?
Shen Zizhen didn't quite believe it.
That night, Shen Zizhen and the other two families had dinner together. In Du Tonghe's words, they were there to support him.
Dinner was multigrain noodle soup, and Shen Zizhen discovered that there was egg drop in the noodle soup, which was really rare.
Along the way, we ate and slept in the open. Not to mention that we were full. Sometimes we couldn't even drink a sip of water for the whole day.
Dragging his injured body, he could hardly hold on. Unexpectedly, on the first day of the Hearts Brigade, he actually ate egg noodle soup.
The extremely hungry person gulped down the rare noodle soup.
Du Tonghe and Chi Ge looked at him silently.
"Eat slowly, the old lady has made a big pot, enough for you to eat." Du Tonghe said sadly, remembering when he first came that day.
"Eat slowly, it's not enough, let's do it again." Yu Ruiyuan also comforted in a low voice.
"That's enough, that's enough. I'm very satisfied if I can have a mouthful of hot rice."
Shen Zizhen whispered that no one noticed, and his tears fell into the bowl and merged into one.
After dinner, Yu Ruiyuan went to wash the pot, Chi Yiyuan didn't know where he went, and the remaining three people sat together and talked.
"I never thought that I could eat such a meal in a cowshed!" Shen Zizhen felt much better after eating, and her voice seemed to be thicker when she spoke.
"You will know in the future that the place we live in is just a little worse. As for the food, it is almost the same as other members." Du Tonghe said with a smile: "I'm afraid it will be better in the future."
Shen Zizhen still didn't understand the meaning of Du Tonghe's words at this time. It would be more than half a year before he understood.
Shen Zizhen sat and moved her waist unconsciously.
He was injured when he was in the capital. He didn't take any medicine and didn't take good care of himself. He worked on boats and carts all the way, and it seemed that he was getting serious.
I didn't realize it when I was so depressed before, but now I have the courage to live, but I find that my back pain is even worse!
With such a dilapidated body, I really don’t know if I can still do anything. If I can’t participate in labor, I shouldn’t even be able to eat, right?
"Comrade Xiao Shen, I see that you are not in good health. You seem to be injured."
Chi Ge was an observant person and soon discovered that Shen Zizhen's physical condition was not very good.
"Professor Chi, just teach me Xiao Shen. I was injured a little when I was in the capital. Just work on it. One day, the pain will pass and everything will be fine!"
Shen Zizhen didn't know whether she was talking about her body or something else.
"Go back and ask Xiaotian to get you some ointment and put it on. It'll be done soon!" When Du Tonghe talked about Su Xiaotian, there was a smile between his eyes and brows.
This kid is really amazing.
"Xiaotian?"
"She is my god-granddaughter and also Professor Chi's student!"
Shen Zizhen's jaw almost dropped in surprise. These two people who lived in the bullpen actually had relatives and students in the Hearts Brigade?
Moreover, what surprised him the most was that such a thing should have been kept secret, but they just said it.
Either you trust yourself, or everyone knows this, and there is no point in hiding it from yourself.
Shen Zizhen felt that since he had just arrived, he obviously couldn't trust him, so there was only one possibility left: everyone knew about their relationship.
"Everyone who should know about the Hearts Brigade knows it." Chi Ge answered the question.
Shen Zizhen couldn't help but wonder, what magical place had she come to?
Could it be that this is the legendary paradise?
In the following days, Shen Zizhen saw that the Heart Brigade was indeed different from what she had imagined.
He even felt the most relaxed he had been in years.
Except for the restless young people from the county who come every few days, life here is really comfortable.
Although I only eat a simple meal every day, I feel full and feel very comfortable.
Those past events in the capital city have been blown away by the wind.
He has almost completely forgotten even those who once reduced him to dust.
It was also at this time that he truly realized that it was his destiny to be able to live in the Hearts Brigade.
If he hadn't been lucky enough to end up in the Hearts Brigade and moved to another place, his life would not have been certain.
But what excited Shen Zizhen the most was that he saw a rare child.
Su Xiaotian is indeed a rare child. She is only nine years old, but her knowledge in agriculture has already exceeded that of many people.
Those students before him were much worse than the nine-year-old Su Xiaotian.
His injuries all healed after using the ointment provided by Su Xiaotian.
Su Xiaotian, who he originally thought was at least fourteen or fifteen years old, turned out to be a nine-year-old girl.
This child is simply a genius, and his knowledge is far richer than that of an adult.
However, she did not study in school.
Also, years like this in school are just a waste of time.
With the guidance of people like Chi Ge and Du Tonghe, Su Xiaotian naturally does not need to go to school.
But he soon discovered that not only Su Xiaotian was not studying in school, but also their children were not studying.
But these children spend every available time reading every day, and their knowledge base is far wider than that of other children of the same age.
It is not certain that such a group of children might be able to achieve great things in the future if they were not in such a remote rural place.
Moreover, he was very shocked that in a place like the Red Heart Brigade, there was a small experimental field. He said that this experimental field belonged to Du Tonghe and Su Xiaotian.
Because of his arrival, the team leader expanded the area of the experimental field by two points and said that he hoped they could use these experimental fields to cultivate higher-yielding grain seeds.
At this time, Shen Zizhen felt that the pressure on him had increased, but his desire to live became stronger and stronger.
He even felt that he had more energy.
After half a year, Shen Zizhen felt like a fish in water that it would be good to stay in this place for the rest of her life.
Dealing with these simple and kind-hearted members is much simpler than when we were in the capital.
Moreover, as Su Jiujiu said, as long as he works, he and other commune members can get food and other materials.
In fact, after the people in the Heart Team learned that he could cultivate seeds, not only did they not humiliate him as expected, but they also respected him.
It can be said that there is nothing wrong with being at Hearts except living in the bullpen.
But because the cowshed is cleaned on weekdays, the smell is not very strong, and since it is surrounded by wilderness, it is not unpleasant.
Since arriving at the Heart Brigade, he has also been trying to find ways to inquire about other colleagues and friends, but the news he has received is not very optimistic.
