Chapter 139: The Pragmatist
Sure enough, within a few days, the hall approved Luo Jinyun's report and asked her to lead the team to Ishikawa Village with the study class.
The educated youths received the news and hurriedly ran from the farmland to the village, and Zheng Tong ran the fastest.
Catching up with Zhong Yuemin, Zheng Tong began to complain: "Yuemin, you can be regarded as coming back, if you don't come back, we are really going to mess up." ”
"Didn't you do a good job?" Zhong Yuemin said indifferently.
"What's the matter, our team has been treated as fools, saying that we don't grow food on good land, but plant trees and grass. Many members of the team also muttered. Zheng Tong said.
"Isn't this all expected, steady, there's nothing to panic about. Zhong Yuemin didn't think it was a big deal, so he turned around and introduced them: "Come on, these are all classmates from our training class." ”
"Haha, I know this, Secretary Luo. Zheng Tong recognized the short-haired Luo Jinlan, "Director Luo, you also participated in the study class?"
"What nonsense, Director Luo is the teacher of our training class. Zhong Yuemin corrected.
"Ah, didn't Yuemin become a student of Director Luo?" Zheng Tong pretended to exaggerate.
Luo Jinlan said with a smile: "Yuemin is definitely a good student. ”
Zhong Yuemin squinted at Zheng Tong and asked, "Do you have any opinions?"
"No, no comment. Zheng Tong saw that Zhong Yuemin's face was wrong, and quickly interrupted and asked another question: "Yuemin, how can so many people be arranged?"
"All of them are placed in the villagers' homes, and the Changgui branch secretary has been arranged, don't worry. Zhong Yuemin said.
Zheng Tong patted his chest and said: "Then I'm relieved, there are so many people, we are afraid that we will not be able to supply them if we are eaten." ”
"I said Zheng Tong, you have some interest, how can you make a small calculation in front of the guests?!" Jiang Biyun said with disgust.
"It's better to be afraid of losing face than to be hungry. "Zheng Tong doesn't care if he is embarrassed or not, this guy has become a complete pragmatist.
Zhong Yuemin was very happy, "Zheng Tong, you are really good now, you have a bit of the appearance of a production captain, and you are a qualified housekeeper!"
"Yuemin, don't you know, since I acted as the captain of this production team, I haven't slept a day, and I am afraid every day, I am afraid that my team will collapse. Zheng Tong poured bitter water on the situation.
Zhao Dayong laughed and teased: "Zheng Tong, this is a show of merit, or a show of merit! Although everyone sees your hard work, you can't just praise yourself!"
"I'm even more wronged than Dou E!" Zheng Tong patted his thigh and shouted: "Didn't I just think that Yuemin would come back, and I could step down!"
"How can there be such a good thing!" Zhong Yuemin smiled evilly: "I am going to apply to the village to appoint Zheng Tong as the vice captain of our fifth team, and you still have to continue to bear this burden." ”
Zheng Tong stepped back and shouted, "How can this be? Are you just giving me the pick?" I tell you, I won't do it!"
Zhong Yuemin dragged Zheng Tong aside: "Zheng Tong, why don't you know what to do! Think about it, since you acted as the production captain, Jiang Biyun has a much better attitude towards you." ”
"Like, she praised me last time. Zheng Tong peeked at Jiang Biyun not far away.
"That's right, you were an agent before, and now you are a serious vice captain, maybe you will be a captain in the future, so Jiang Biyun will be impressed by you. ”
Zheng Tong thought about it: "You're right to say that, Jiang Biyun can really be good with me?"
"Keep up the good work, sure. Come on, work hard, sooner or later, the position of captain will be yours, and Jiang Biyun will also be yours. Zhong Yuemin saw that Zheng Tong was already immersed in the imaginary world, patted him on the shoulder and left.

The trainee class all brought their own ration subsidies, and the members of the village were vying to receive them, and Zhong Yuemin couldn't care about it, but Xiao Lizi was pulled by him to the educated youth point to settle down, and he had to entertain him without collecting money.
"Zheng Tong, come and see, who is this?" Zhong Yuemin helped Xiao Lizi carry his luggage, and shouted as soon as he entered the door.
"Hey, little plum, you also came with the study class?" Zheng Tong happily hugged Xiao Lizi.
Xiao Lizi was also very happy, "Yes, I met Brother Yuemin in the provincial capital, and I participated in the study class together, I always thought about when I could meet you too, but I didn't expect it to come true so soon." ”
"I often read about you, the last time you replied, you said that you are often hungry, Yuemin and I are very worried, this time we have to have a good chat!" Zheng Tong said.
"The money you and Brother Yuemin sent last time was a great help, and I want to thank you too. Xiao Lizi thanked Zheng Tong again.
Zhong Yuemin stopped: "Okay, Xiao Lizi, you have thanked you many times, you don't need to thank you anymore." ”
Zheng Tong also said: "That's it, what are we doing with so much fiction!"
"That's good, I keep it in my heart, and I remember the kindness of my two brothers. Xiao Lizi's eyes were a little red.
"That's what it sounds like. Let's go, let's eat together. Zheng Tong pulled Xiao Lizi to the dinner table.
······
After the trainees settled down, they couldn't wait to go out in the afternoon to visit the silt dam.
"Yuemin, why has it only been a few months, why have you changed so much here?" Luo Jinlan walked along the road and noticed that something was different.
Zhong Yuemin thought she was referring to the environment, "It was winter when you came before, and now it's almost summer, can it be the same?"
"I'm not talking about this, why are all the trees planted on the slopes of your team?" Luo Jinlan pointed to the loess ramp not far away.
Zhong Yuemin asked with a smile: "Or is it a little sapling, you can see it?"
Zhao Dabao shouted: "How can you not see it, crops have been planted in other places, and you have such a large empty place to plant trees." ”
"I'll just ask you, is this tree planted here, is it beautiful?" Zhong Yuemin asked.
"Then you can't just waste so much land to plant trees just for the sake of looking good!" Zhao Dabao said distressedly.
Luo Jinlan explains: "The purpose of planting trees is to conserve water and soil, so that the water in the soil does not evaporate too quickly. ”
"What's the use of that?" Zhao Dabao still didn't understand.
Zhong Yuemin pointed to the crops in the field and asked, "Then you take a closer look at our crops and see what is different." ”
Zhao Daliang ran to the field and took a closer look, "Hey, why are your crops so willing to grow, they are bigger than ordinary corn, take a look?"
The other academies also looked closer with curiosity, and sure enough, they found the difference, and they were all surprised: "It's really, it's a lot bigger, how did you grow it?"
Zhong Yuemin smiled but did not speak.
·······
Early the next morning, Zhong Yuemin got up to wash, and saw Xiao Lizi squatting in the yard, not knowing what to study.
"Little Lizi, what are you squatting here in the morning? Next to it is the thatched toilet, it doesn't stink. ”
"I was wondering last night how you could raise your crops so well. Xiao Lizi said with a smile.
"See something?"
Xiao Lizi said: "I see that your secrets are all in this pool." ”
"Haha, you're quite awake, how can you see it?"
"I will watch you take out the manure and the manure from this pond early in the morning and take it out into the ground. That's what you often tell me about biogas digesters, right?"
Zhong Yuemin said: "Yes, what do you think?"
"It's a good thing, there is nothing in the countryside, manure and straw are always there, biogas residue can be used to fertilize the fields, and biogas slurry can be used to spray crops. Xiao Lizi said excitedly: "If we can dig a few such biogas digesters in our village, the crops can grow as well as your team!"
