The grass grows and the orioles fly in March. This is a scene in the south.
Here in Beiguan, the spring is still freezing at the end of March.
But the reclamation team has already started working.
Still the same as last year, we will first clear out the hardened wasteland inch by inch. When April comes and spring planting begins, we will then join the villagers in spring plowing.
Xiao Jing, Huang Xiaohong and others who went home to celebrate the New Year have also come back one after another in the past few days.
Huang Xiaohong suppressed her excitement along the way and couldn't wait to tell her teammates about Xu Yin's identity.
She just said that there are no girls in the city who are so capable. They can farm and grow vegetables without having to learn, and their strength is ridiculous. As a result, girls like them in the city are always scolded by the captain, who always says, "Xu Yin is OK, why can't you do it?"
"", making it seem like they are so worthless. Qingqing is a girl from the countryside!
However, when I came back and found that Xu Yin was still there, I was very surprised:
"Xu Yin, why are you still here? Didn't your family let you go back? You are so brave. You are obviously not from our reclamation team, but you followed us on the train to Beiguan."
"Ah? Xu Yin is not from the reclamation team?" When the others heard this, they gathered around gossiping.
But despite that, by the end of the year, we had achieved impressive results of 2,500 acres. It would be a shame if we couldn't even reach this number this year.
Huang Xiaohong's eyes turned red after being told that, and she shouted with a cry: "Okay, okay! It's all my fault, right? Are you done with it?"
The female compatriots gathered around Huang Xiaohong and talked about it.
Fu Rongxing walked over with a sullen face and glared at Huang Xiaohong: "What? You went back home and became a tongue-tied woman?"
"Stop it!" Captain Fu interrupted her, "When recruiting members for the wasteland reclamation team, there is no distinction between rural and urban areas. It's just that when mobilizing, it targets young people in the city who have not yet implemented their work, so even if you use your own
If you sign up with your identity, the organization will not reject you.”
"Hey, you have misunderstood the point!" Huang Xiaohong reminded them, "Xu Yin assumed someone else's identity, otherwise she would not be qualified to be here."
Huang Xiaohong was confused: What is going on?
She watched with her own eyes as Director Niu sat down to write a letter, then put it in an envelope and asked the comrades in the army to deliver it on the spot.
Huang Xiaohong received a lot of criticism, covered her face and ran away crying.
"He wrote me a letter." Fu Rongxing took out the letter and slapped it on the table, "The letter is right here! I didn't see Director Niu say anything bad, nor did he ask for permission.
On the contrary, Xu Yin has been praising her for going back. On the other hand, you, the number of acres of reclaimed land in the past year is not as much as that of Xu Yin alone, so I ask you, are you blushing? Are you embarrassed?"
"Okay." Captain Fu said impatiently, "You came back a few days later than expected, and you still made trouble for Xu Yin when you came back. Are you here to clear up wasteland or are you here to cause trouble? Why don't you hurry up and clear up wasteland for me?
go!"
Thinking about it this way, everyone couldn't help but have opinions about Huang Xiaohong:
"Xiaohong, even if Xu Yin borrowed someone else's identity, you shouldn't reveal it. What good will it do to us if she's gone?"
Xu Yin breathed a sigh of relief and playfully gave a military salute to the captain: "Xu Yin reports to the organization! From today on, I will work harder, roll up my sleeves, shake off my arms, and stride forward to work hard!"
Huang Xiaohong curled her lips aggrievedly: "Captain, you are partial! What I said is obviously true, but you still protect her! Director Niu already knows about this, didn't he write to you?"
Lu Dachun responded, picked up the letter and read it.
No, we haven't seen any trace of wolves since that time years ago.
"..."
The reclamation team members were so exhausted after finishing their daily tasks that they had no energy left to chat.
"What are you yelling about!"
"Really?" Xu Yin looked at the captain with bright eyes.
"Impossible!" Huang Xiaohong jumped up anxiously, "Director Niu must have said it, I was even there at the time!"
"Didn't she say that she wanted to contribute to the breadbasket of the motherland?"
Just as the captain said, Director Niu has been praising Xu Yin from the beginning to the end. The last paragraph is about his ardent expectations for them and his whole belief to the end, without mentioning the things Huang Xiaohong said at all.
This year their tasks are heavier than last year.
On that side, Xu Yin took the initiative to confess to Captain Fu: "Captain, Huang Xiaohong is actually right. I am indeed not qualified to join the reclamation team. My family is from a rural area..."
"..."
"This is too..."
"That's right! The 2,500 acres achieved last year is partly due to her. If it weren't for the retting method she summarized in the book, the yield per acres wouldn't be so high. Look at the Qinghe team next door. There are more people than our team. In the end, the rations we get are divided.
But it’s less than us. To be honest, if our team didn’t have Xu Yin, the public rations we handed in would be even less than theirs. Think about it, in that case, would you still have a chance to go home for the New Year? I
I heard that only our team has the opportunity to ride a ride. On the surface, it seems that the captain fought for it, but without the achievements of land reclamation, how could the captain have this opportunity?"
Last year was the first year after all. I had no experience in the first few months. Everyone except Xu Yin was still figuring things out. It is understandable that the number of acres of reclaimed land was small.
What's more, Xu Yin is the leader and backbone of the team. With her by your side, everyone will feel particularly at ease and not afraid of the wolf!
And maybe the wolf is more scared than them.
Captain Fu laughed angrily: "Can I still lie to you? Dachun, read this letter to everyone."
"Really!" Captain Fu laughed, patted Xu Yin on the shoulder and said, "So you don't have to be burdened. If the policy is really violated, Director Niu will be the first to feel uneasy. You see, he didn't even mention it in the letter.
It can be seen that I have acquiesced in your situation."
Seeing that the captain was angry, the others did not dare to stay any longer, so they went off to open up wasteland with hoes and shovels on their shoulders.
"Hahaha! As long as you have the same energy as last year, don't work too hard! Working too hard will hurt your vitality. Otherwise, everyone will not be able to keep up with your pace. By then, they will have to fall behind and hurt their self-esteem."
"Also, if it weren't for Xu Yin when we met the wolves that time, we would all be doomed!"
Spring is warm and flowers are blooming, the ice and snow are melting, and spring plowing is around the corner.
"Then what is she doing here?"
Well, since the captain said so, let’s continue to maintain last year’s record of three to five acres a day and not break it. This shouldn’t be too easy for her.
The villagers all said that after Xu Yin came, the desert wolves in this area no longer dared to enter the village and cause harm to them.
In this way, the gossip surrounding Xu Yin gradually disappeared as the spring plowing started in full swing.
The two elders of the Xu family in Yuanshan County thought that their youngest daughter would be able to come back before the end of the year, so they had already planned how to arrange this New Year - they would let their youngest daughter stay at home to take care of the triplets, and the two elders would go to the elder's house next door to celebrate the New Year.
Just bring two steamed buns to my little daughter and share a bowl of food.
As a result, let alone the New Year, I didn't see her figure until March when it was time to go to the ground for spring planting. I couldn't help but feel angry and anxious.
