Chapter 45: During the Summer Ploughing

【1】

In the base for cultivating new varieties, Zhang Zhishu took the lead with the village cadres and those people from the city, and everyone first put manure on the fields. They were holding shovels and scattering dung, although they were all splashed with dung stars, exuding a commotion and a bad smell, but everyone was happy in their hearts. Because of this kind of manure in the field, the crops are sure to have a good harvest. The fields of the production teams are the same as here, after ploughing, raking, and leveling, then it is time to plant.

Zhang Zhishu asked the teams to plant the large and full seeds of the various crops he selected. Their sweat flowed down their shirts and pants, everyone was wet as if they had taken a bath, and everyone's face was like a big flower face singing opera. You look at me, I look at you, they usually make fun of each other, everyone laughs, and they are busy having fun.

Zhang Zhishu asked the masses of each team to chop the wheat straw with a guillotine and sprinkle more dung, regardless of whether it is big manure (human manure), livestock manure, or poultry manure, as long as it is stirred with the wheat straw, bored, and fermented, it is a good fertilizer.

Summer planting should take advantage of the moisture, so it must be fast. The work of planting in the wheat stubble field requires the tacit cooperation of two people. One digs a hole in the stubble ridge with a hoe, and the other keeps the seed in the pit accurately. What if the moisture is good? The seeds will sprout in two or three days. So what if the moisture is not good? The seeds will not sprout. It's easy to get close to the well, so use the motor to pump the water from the well. What about those who are far away from the well? Then it will be troublesome, and you will have to carry the water. Usually, as long as the buds emerge, they are a little more drought tolerant. In summer, it rains more frequently, and under normal circumstances, there is no need to water the ground.

After planting in the field, Zhang Guangming led the cadres and educated youths to work together to continue to reclaim the wasteland.

Some people scatter dung, some people drive cattle to plow the land, and this ploughing work has to prove whether "a lot" is okay. Because if you are not an expert, you will not plough completely, leaving a hard land, that is, you will not turn the land over. And what if the "big handful" is an expert at plowing the land? The pear-by-pear, turning over the land, is as magnificent as the waves that line the Black Sea. After the "big handful" of a piece of land is deeply cultivated, it is time to rake it carefully. This raking is even more of a delicate job. It is necessary to drive the livestock with a "big handful", pull the big iron rake with iron teeth, and begin to put the hard ground like a kaleidoscope, one for a while, and the changes are endless. "Big handful" sometimes cross rake, hard ground will leave a "X" shape, sometimes step on the harrow, will leave "O" shape, horizontal rake will leave countless "three" shapes...... "big handful" until the hard ground rake soft, flat, and then after everyone with a shovel to further level, finally can be planted.

Usually, the "big handful" will use livestock to pull the innovative spree carved by Professor Guo Aimin for sowing. Each team will plant some, soybeans, peanuts, cotton and other autumn crops.

In order to cheer up the villagers, Zhang Guangming shouted on the loudspeaker of the brigade and said to the masses: "We dare to fight in Muyehua Village, work hard for a few years, change the old into the new, have food, clothing, new houses, squat, and be lazy and diligent!" It is also such an arduous and arduous fighting spirit of the new branch secretary, which not only encourages the people of Muyehua Village to move forward bravely, but also encourages the higher-level cadres and educated youths to fight tenaciously.

On this day, Zhang Zhishu urged the villagers to step up their planting on the loudspeaker: "Hey, you should hurry up and plant as soon as the moisture is wet! What if any piece of sandy land is a little dry? I said villagers, do it yourself, grow grain and cotton. Cultivate and weave diligently, have food and clothing! Don't you dare to be lazy in the management of crops! Take cotton as an example, if you don't break off the excess leaves and branches in time, it will grow wildly, and the cotton yield will be greatly reduced...... "He usually speaks concisely and to the point, and when he talks about agricultural management, he will be meticulous.

In the past few days, Captain Zhang Guangcai has been busy going to the field every day to observe the germination of corn seeds. He was worried that something would go wrong, and Zhang Guangming told him, look, it will rain in less than two hours. Zhang Guangcai looked at the clear sky, and he asked in disbelief, "How is it possible?"

Zhang Guangming said confidently: "Don't you believe it? ”

The sun passed for about an hour, sometimes coming out to shake it, sometimes hiding and being lazy. After another half an hour, the sun father may have been extremely tired, and he may have thought: "Why can't I have a day off?" For a moment, it was as if the whole sky was covered with a layer of dark gauze.

Granny Yu did not show weakness, and began to play a majestic role, throwing countless rain lines, and hundreds of millions of lines fell down with a bang, a bang.

Zhang Guangcai said to his wife: Don't say it, our brother is Zhong! He said that it would rain in less than two hours, and you can see that the rain is really falling.

Qiu Weimin said to Zhang Guangming, "Your superiors have given you two recommended places to go to university in Muyehua Village. Zhang Zhishu, if you see who has a high ideological consciousness and is more practical and capable of doing farm work, you can recommend whoever you want to go.

Zhang Guangming found Qin Chun and Li Zhongqiu, talked to them cordially, and said, I want to recommend the two of you to go to college. The two of them analyzed the matter very seriously, and after thinking about it, they still refused. They said that we had come to Makino Village together from the provincial capital, and that if we went to university, we would lose our friendship forever...... In the end, Zhang Guangming had no choice but to let them draw lots to decide who would go and who would stay. What Zhang Zhishu didn't expect was that Wu Baoguo and Li Xuehua, who were reluctant to do farm work, won the lottery and wrote the words on it. The rest of the people drew all the words written in the letter. can make Wu Baoguo and Li Xuehua happy, jumping high like children.

At this time, Wang Xiaoshuang, the city leader, and Zhang Yanke of Muyehua Village were in a hurry.

Wang Xiaoshuang said to Li Xuehua affectionately: "My dear, you are going to college, and I am still stationed in the countryside." But I'm coming to the end of my work here, so let's have a date in the provincial capital!"

"Yes, the two of us are just lonely for the time being, after I get to school, I will write to you every day, okay?" The two had a deep affection, and there were endless whispers.

Wu Baoguo swore an alliance to Zhang Yanhai and said that he would never change his mind.

No matter how her boyfriend swears, Zhang Yan is still not at ease. In the end, the two who fell in love agreed that after a few years, as soon as Wu Baoguo graduated from university, they would immediately register their marriage.

But what about some people? Once the environment changes, they forget all about their undying love.

One night, Zhang Guangming was about to go to Professor Guo to teach him to carve innovative relief paintings, Guo Yingzi pushed the wheelchair of his little sister Zhang Guangyan, and the two walked in talking and laughing. The children greeted them warmly: "The two aunts are here, please take a seat!" The three sisters were busy pouring water for the two aunts, and went to pick fruit from their yard for them to eat.

Guo Yingzi gave her good friend Zhang Guangyan a look, and Zhang Guangyan nodded knowingly. She said in a pleading tone: "We both want to worship your sister-in-law as a teacher, and want to learn sewing and embroidery from you, and when we are proficient, we will help my sister-in-law make your clothes." Can you ask my sister-in-law to take in our two apprentices?"

Li Yue'e said with a smile: "What do you ask, you two want to learn, and I still have this intention." Now that I'm getting more and more orders for clothes, I'm a bit too busy! If I had you two to help me, I wouldn't be able to ask for it!"

Guo Yingzi struck while the iron was hot and said: "Then when the time comes, I want to ask my sister-in-law to teach you the craftsmanship of sewing and embroidery, and teach us the two of us?"

"You really have to make inches!" Li Yue'e said jokingly.

"We have learned, and we will never steal business with you, sister-in-law, don't worry. Guo Yingzi hurriedly explained. Li Yue'e smiled and agreed.

Zhang Guangming smiled and said when he left: "You two study hard, and follow your sister-in-law to learn how to make sewing machines, which is much faster than manual work." She gave Dean Wang's brother the work clothes made in the factory, and his brother was very satisfied with it, so he introduced the leaders of several factories to his sister-in-law, and the leaders of several factories were also very satisfied after seeing the sample clothes, so they also signed a contract with your sister-in-law to supply fabrics and process clothing. My sister-in-law can't be busy now. It would be nice to have the help of the two of you girls in the future. Oh, of course, I'll have to ask your sister-in-law to pay you both!"

When the two girls heard this, they said happily: "Okay, good, let's follow our sister-in-law to learn sewing work hard, and strive to help my sister-in-law as soon as possible!"

So, Li Yue'e taught the two girls the skills of sewing and embroidery. They are very smart and learn very quickly. Li Yue'e asked the two to learn how to button and iron clothes.

Guo Yingzi asked Zhang Guangyan while connecting the buttons: "Sister Yan'er, it's time for you to find a partner." ”

"My body is like this, who would look for me to be such a burden?"

"My uncle's cousin, he and you are classmates, you should know him. ”

Zhang Guangyan's face turned red when she brushed the ground. She said shyly: "I know your cousin, his name is Liu Yuanfei." He is introverted, he doesn't like to communicate with his classmates when he goes to school, and he seems to have a bit of an inferiority complex. ”

"Yes, since beating my uncle and aunt in a car accident, leaving him alone and living alone, he has become less talkative. ”

"It's my cousin who asked me to be a matchmaker, and he asked me to ask you, are you willing to accept him as a poor orphan who has no father, no mother, and nothing?"

"I, I ......" Zhang Guangyan's face turned even redder when she heard her good friend say this. She smiled shyly and slurred her words.

"Hehe, willing to be willing, she is willing!" sister-in-law Li Yue'e said with a quick smile. "Then let's do it, Yingzi, you take your cousin, and Ming'er will come and let my father and mother see if they are in the middle first? If the second elder has no opinion, I think the two of them will deal with each other." When the relationship between the two of them is deep, they will come to live with my father and mother, and let my father and mother take care of Guangyan with your cousin, can you ask him if he is in this way?"

Zhang Guangyan said embarrassedly: "Sister-in-law hasn't skimmed the eight characters yet? Zhang Guangyan replied shyly.

"Yo yo, don't you think your sister-in-law is verbose?

Guo Yingzi smiled and said: "I think what my sister-in-law said is right, my uncle's house is in a dilapidated state! Why don't you let my cousin come here to live, but I don't know if she is willing? ”

The three of them chatted happily while doing needlework.
