Chapter 35: For a Better Tomorrow III

Shu Yue looked at Li Ya squatting like this, his clothes were wrinkled, his face was a little dirty, and there was a faint fishy smell on his body, no matter how he looked at it, he was an ordinary little person, how could he be so destined?

Li Ya is indeed an ordinary person, but any ordinary person with a golden finger like Li Ya and the general trend of world development in the next few decades will be equally confident.

After looking at the refrigerator factory, Li Ya said to Shu Yue: "Everything is well managed, and this is all your credit." But I'm looking for you for everything, I'm too busy. In this way, the workers who have the knowledge and management can be promoted to manage the daily production of the factory, and you will be freed from the heavy daily management and grasp the general direction. ”

That night, Li Ya returned to the Chinatown Hotel to stay. Early the next morning, the farm sent a car to pick up Li Ya.

The car from the farm was a pickup truck, which was newly bought by the farm. Li Ya's farm is about 20 kilometers away from the nearest town, and it is farther away from the city, there are pickup trucks to travel, it is convenient to go shopping in the town, and you can usually pull things on the farm.

Ya Li's farm is northwest of the Fraser Valley borough, not Metro Vancouver. The farm covers an area of 130 square kilometers, 195,000 acres, which is about the size of a town in China. The lowland plains of the Fraser Valley have long been developed, and although there are such large farms, the prices are much higher, and the farmers do not want to sell them. In addition, the existing farms are generally using chemical fertilizers and pesticides, which is not in line with Li Ya's wishes.

The northwest of the Fraser Valley region is mountainous, and Li Ya's farm is located in the lower part of the rolling mountain range, which used to be a forest farm. To the west of the farm, there is a deep forest of mountains as far as the eye can see. A small river flows from the depths of the mountain range and converges on the farm to form a lake of hundreds of acres, which flows out of the farm and eventually into the Fraser River.

The newly built house was by the lake, and when Li Ya arrived, the women were cooking. Li Ya turned his head and looked around, and said with a smile: "Yohe, it's changed a lot." The weeds were cleared, and the grass grew green. "The flowers are gradually becoming charming, and the asakusa can have no horseshoe", now looking at it, it is a thriving scene. ”

Guo Yuhua parked the car, closed the car door and walked over, and said with a smile when he heard Li Ya's words: "Now I just cleaned up the hills around the lake and planted pasture, the farm is so big, it can't be cleaned up in a short time." ”

Li Ya said with a smile: "It's all hillsides here, and you can't use machines to clean up weeds, it's all done manually, and it's already very hard to be able to clean up so much." By the way, there are so many people here, how did this dish be solved?"

Guo Yuhua said with a smile: "It's summer, wild vegetables are everywhere, and it is enough to let some women who are familiar with wild vegetables go out with their children to find them for two hours every day." The vegetables grown on the farm are not yet ready to be picked. It's easier to have meat, Uncle Zhang and their experienced old hunters take hunting, there are a lot of wild things here, big ones like moose and red deer, small hares and geese, these are all there, and the taste is very good. ”

Li Ya asked suspiciously, "Are there geese here?" I thought they were only available by the sea. I didn't pay attention when I came to see the farm, as if I didn't have it at that time. ”

Guo Yuhua replied: "There are many black geese here, and they are big and beautiful. However, the black goose is a migratory bird, and it is now the breeding season, so it will not fly away for a while, so it will perch near the water and raise its young. ”

Li Ya hurriedly said: "I'm thinking about the black goose." The farm has a large investment in raising other livestock, and the money cannot be turned over for the time being. I thought about raising black geese and red deer first, which didn't cost much. It just so happens that now the black geese and red deer have bred their young, and a batch of them are captured and raised, so that they can not only eat meat, but also sell them for money. ”

Guo Yuhua said: "Then you have to find Uncle Zhang, they have been hunting around for almost two months, where there are red deer, where there are black geese, they are all familiar." ”

"I see a telephone pole, the electricity is on?"

"It was connected early, the phone line, we came over in less than two weeks. However, there are not many electric lights for the time being, so if you can save it, you can save it. Guo Yuhua said.

Li Ya looked at the rows of houses built and said, "These houses are all built temporarily, and several families live in one room, which is not suitable for long-term living." In the future, when you have money, you will build it slowly, build one building at a time, and live one building for a family. But first we have to build a school, and we have to have about 200 children, and we can't let them just herd sheep like this, so can they become farmers in the future? Even if they become farmers, someone has to ask for them. ”

"All grass creations can only be simplified because of ugliness, do you want to build a few rows of houses as schools?" asked Guo Yuhua.

Li Ya thought for a while and said: "If you want to build a single-family house, you can build a single-family house, move part of it first, and vacate the existing house as a school." When everyone moved into a new house and built a new school, the current house had to be demolished, and the demolished materials would find a place to build a new enclosure. At that time, even Li Ya felt that the collective dormitory built would take a long time to live, so when choosing a place, he chose the lake, which is convenient for water. Now that the efficiency of the refrigerator factory is so good, plus the money earned from going to sea, there is now a lot of money in the account, and after the construction of a new house, there is no need for the collective dormitory to exist. The farm should not be mixed with the place where people live, and it is necessary to find a new place, and the distance should not be too close.

The two approached the place where they were cooking, and a large area was spread out in the open air, everyone was busy, Guo Yuhua introduced Li Ya, and Li Ya also greeted him with a smile. Then join in and help out. There are many people talking a lot, doing things in their hands, and their mouths are not idle, you and I say one sentence at a time, which makes Li Ya feel very cordial, as if he has returned to the production team to work collectively, and the rural red and white ceremonies in later generations will hold banquets.

As soon as the meal was ready, he heard the noise of children from a distance, Li Ya looked up along the sound, a group of children came out of the pass between the two small hills, and rushed down all the way, followed by adults, seven or eight hundred people walked into a long line, it looked very powerful, Li Ya sighed: "There is a kind of formation of thousands of troops and horses." ”

Guo Yuhua smiled: "It's just that there are more people." The first time I watched it, I was also shocked, and the more I watched it, I didn't feel so strong. ”

Li Ya said: "There are so many people, there are so many people, no wonder they all planted grass all the way to the farm." ”

Guo Yuhua said with a smile: "The farm is so big, in fact, there are not many things sorted out, and there are more than 30,000 acres of wheat planted on flat land, but they are relatively scattered. These are mechanical, and they're fast. The other hillsides have only been sorted out more than 30,000 acres, which adds up to less than half. It started from the entrance of the farm, so I will see a big change all the way through. ”

Although Li Ya's farm sounds big, almost 200,000 mu, but the flat one can only be cultivated about 40,000 mu, only about one-fifth, so the farm price is very low. This year, it was a wasteland, so it took two months to sort out 30,000 acres. In areas where the slope is not too large, it is possible to use machinery to plough the land and harvest pasture. The steeper slope is just to clear the weeds and plant grass, and the cattle can go up, but the slope is not suitable here, and the cost is too great.

The children rushed over and lined up with dishes and chopsticks to eat. The children in the front queue hurriedly walked and ate while eating, and the people in the back of the queue saw that someone had already started to eat, but the team was moving slowly, and they were so anxious that they shouted to hurry up, Li Ya was happy to see it. Thinking about it, when it was still Li Ya, the queue for dinner in junior high school and high school was the same as now, and those in the back were always in a hurry.

Guo Yuhua smiled when he saw Li Ya looking at the children's team, and said: "The children are like this, they eat a lot, and they are hungry fast, so they can only shout in a hurry when they run slowly." ”

Li Ya smiled: "Yes! I was like this when I was in China. In school, in the production team, they are all queuing up to eat. ”

Guo Yuhua said: "I've heard of communism and proletarianism. ”

Li Ya said: "Yes." Originally, the country was poor, and there were many people, and as time went on, people became more and more lazy, and there was not enough food to eat. The ideological consciousness of ordinary people cannot reach the level of communism and proletarianism, and it is better to be ahead of their time. Most people can only eat a few full meals when they are busy running collective canteens. ”
