Since the educated youths came to Muyehua Village, they were unfamiliar with farm work, so they asked Zhang Zhishu: "What should we do when we fight?" ”

Zhang Guangming replied: "Let's let these wheat dry in the sun, and after drying it for an hour or two, we will use a big fork to turn it once, and when it is turned about three or four times, we can crush it."

Sometimes it's not necessarily, it's up to the sun to decide how many times you want to turn.

If the sun is scorching, turn it a few times.

If the sunlight is not so strong, you need to turn it several times.

The more it turns, the more chaotic it becomes, the more chaotic the guns are, the more thoroughly they are exposed.

After the sun is dried, it will be crushed by the cattle pulling the stone stone in a circle. ”

None of the cadres in the garrison know how to operate these farm jobs, but do they dare to ask?

Every cadre just waited for the educated youths to ask and understand, and looked at Zhang Zhishu's specific teaching of agricultural management techniques with rare eyes.

Every time, they work together with the educated youth, and strive to learn from the basic management.

In this way, they and the educated youths conscientiously followed Zhang Zhishu to learn again and again to "turn over" the wheat.

Every time I washed down and turned over the wheat up, everyone was so tired that they were sweating profusely, their arms hurt, and their waists hurt.

Today's sun is like a coal, and the sun burns this group of people.

But for wheat, it's even hotter.

Several educated youths saw that the men's faces were illuminated by the strong sunlight like black-faced Bao Zheng.

I saw Zhang Guangming driving a mule, which was covered in black hair and shiny, strong and powerful, and full of energy.

It pulls the stone stone and "chokes, chokes" and turns in circles, pressing the wheat "rustling" and "popping".

I saw the dry wheat, which instantly broke free from the shackles of the foreskin and fell on the wheat straw freely.

They all have novelty in their eyes.

After the livestock were crushed a few times, Zhang Guangming began to command everyone to turn up and down with a big fork "hulahula".

He asked himself and said to everyone: We have to turn the wheat up and down again and again, and there will be a small amount of wheat on it that does not fall.

Then let's go round and round and let the cattle carry the stones and crush them again.

And then we're going to do it over and over again.

The cadres stationed in the team widened their eyes, and the educated youths didn't understand why they were still tossing?

Zhang Zhishu saw the doubts in everyone's eyes, so he said: When there is indeed no wheat on the wheat straw, it is time to "start".

He took the straw aside with a fork for everyone to see, and they gathered around to see that there was only wheat and bran left below.

Then he said, "Let's use a wooden shovel to make a pile."

Then mix the wheat and the straw together in a pile of wheat, and use a wooden shovel to lift the wheat out of the bran.

He began to teach everyone to "raise the field" again.

You snap a spade with a wooden shovel, raise your arms into the air, and immediately close the cage into your bosom.

The wheat bran raised high in the air drifted into the air like a white cloud in the wind, fluttering and falling to the other side.

The wheat here will fall in front of you with a "clatter", like broken gold falling on the ground.

Everyone looks like a golden bean has fallen to the ground!

Everyone looked at him and said this with delight.

At this time, he taught the people: You should use a big broom to gently sweep away the little bran that has fallen on the wheat, and this action is called "plundering."

This whole set of actions is called "Yangchang", and "Yangchang" is exquisite!

If the yang is not good, the wheat and the bran will not separate, and the farmers usually call it: fart stirring and.

Although the words are rough, it is absolutely not okay to mix wheat bran and wheat. So that's definitely a technical job.

Only Qin Chun and Li Zhongqiu followed him to learn from him attentively, and those educated youths whispered and discussed......

"They're big fools, look at them and get them all covered in dust."

The two educated youths didn't hear it when they heard it, so they just lowered their heads and worked.

Zhang Guangming demonstrated to the two educated youths: "You two watch, hold the wooden shovel in front with your right hand, hold the back with your left hand, and push a spade of wheat forward, and send and harvest it upward.

Be exalted and reap quickly. ”

Li Zhongqiu and Qin Chunchun just started to learn from the branch secretary, but they still couldn't do it, and the wheat and wheat bran were entwined and refused to separate.

Zhang Zhishu jokingly said: "It seems that they have the affection of giving up!" ”

Both intellectuals laughed.

Zhang Zhishu patiently taught them over and over again.

He said, "There is nothing difficult in the world, as long as you are willing to work hard, there is no farm work that you can't learn!"

At this time, Li Yongjin couldn't wait to measure the approximate harvest of a few acres of wheat on the field with a bucket, so what is the average harvest of this year, this is seventy-seven, eighty-eight.

The cadres of the brigade let the wheat from the breeding base be dried and then pulled to the team's warehouse, and when all the fighting is over, the wheat will be distributed to the poor households in the village.

Last year, due to the drought, the ears of wheat were like flies, and only one or two hundred catties were harvested per mu, so they usually couldn't eat a white bun.

Only in the New Year can you eat a little foreskin bread.

It is a steamed bun made from a layer of cornmeal and a layer of white flour.

This year's harvest yield per mu is three or four hundred catties, so everyone did not expect that the yield of the five acres of land that the professor puts on the manure every day is as high as five or six hundred catties per mu.

Zhang Guangming was inspired, and he immediately told the masses the good news on the loudspeaker.

The villagers were all amazed and understood that putting on dung is a practical and effective way to increase grain production.

I also learned a truth, manure is the first place for the nutrition of crops, followed by chicken manure, pig manure, sheep manure, and livestock manure.

Other manure is not of much use for one season, and the villagers have found that chicken manure can last for almost two seasons.

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

Although this year's wheat cannot completely solve the problem of food and clothing, it is also a lot higher than the previous output, so the people of Muyehua Village have fully affirmed the leadership ability of this resourceful and decisive new branch secretary.

What about this kind of people?

In a group of two, one person takes a hoe and hoes into the ridges of the wheat stubble field, hoes a pit, and some plant corn; Some grow peanuts; some grow wheat and cotton; Everyone is very busy.

Zhang Zhishu asked the cadres and educated youths to take two or three seeds each, and immediately and accurately throw them into the small pit dug with a hoe.

At the end of the hour, he and they carried water again, and when the seeds had sprouted in two or three days, they would be a little more drought-tolerant.

This summer, the rain is more frequent, so there is no need to carry water again.

Qin Chun asked Zhang Zhishu: After harvesting wheat and planting corn, will you reclaim the wasteland to grow crops?

Zhang Zhishu replied: That's right. Then we will go with the villagers to open up the wasteland and farm, and then scatter dung and drive the cattle to plow the land, which is a test of "a lot".

Because if you are not an expert, you will plough the living land, that is, you will not turn the land over.

And what if you are a plower?

The pear followed and the land that the pear turned over was as spectacular as the waves of the Black Sea.

After a "big handful" of a piece of land is deeply cultivated, it is time to rake it carefully.

This raking is to level the land, and it is a delicate job.

It is necessary to drive the livestock to pull a large iron rake with iron teeth, carry out an oblique rake, and turn a harrow.

In this way, Zhang Guangming, the "big man", raked the ground on the land, leaving behind the shape of "X" one by one.

Then, he raked the ground in circles, leaving circles in the shape of "O".

He raked until it was soft and flat, and then the members used shovels to further level it, and finally he could pinch it.

He, the "big man", used livestock to pull Zhang Changsheng's invented and innovative spree for sowing.

He also asked the teams to plant autumn crops such as soybeans, peanuts and barley tea cotton.

In the base for cultivating new varieties, Zhang Zhishu and the cadres stationed in the team first sprinkled dung on a piece of land.

They took shovels and sprinkled dung, ploughed and raked, and it was time to plant.

The teams are also so busy.

Zhang Zhishu asked each team to select the seeds of various crops with large and full grains for planting.

After the busy planting, although everyone was full of and coaxing, the villagers were sweet in their hearts.

Their sweat flowed down their shirts and pants, and everyone's whole body was like a bath in the water, and everyone's face was like a big flower face singing opera.

You look at me and I look at you, usually they make fun of each other, and everyone laughs and is busy having fun.

In the past, life for the villagers was hard.

This year is much stronger than usual.

In order to cheer up the villagers, Zhang Guangming called on the masses: "If we want to change the status quo of poverty, we have to work hard!" Isn't there an old saying that people are not lazy!

As long as we can persist in hard work, everything will be fine one day! ”

Listen, Zhang Zhishu shouted the slogan on the loudspeaker with full enthusiasm today: "We dare to fight in Muyehua Village, work hard for a few years, change the old into the new, have food and clothing, squatting in a new house, and be lazy and diligent!" ”

It is also the spirit of the new branch secretary's endless life and struggle that always encourages the villagers to work hard and tenaciously.

On this day, the branch secretary shouted on the loudspeaker and urged the villagers to step up planting: "Hey, you have to plant while the moisture is growing!" What if the sand is a little dry? It is necessary to carry water, dig a pit first, then water, then put large and full seeds, and finally cover them with molten soil.

After harvesting wheat and planting, it's time to break cotton forks again.

Zhang Zhishu shouted on the loudspeaker again: "I said villagers, self-reliance, grow grain and cotton. Diligent weaving, 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! ”

Once again, he taught the cadres and educated youth in the army the techniques of cotton management.

Then he went to each team and personally taught the members the skills of cotton management.

……

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 days.

Zhang Guangcai looked at the sun in the sky, and he said, "How is it possible? He looked at Zhang Guangming with some disbelief.

Zhang Guangming said confidently: "You don't believe it? Then you just wait and see. ”

After two days, it really started to rain lightly.

The cadres and educated youths stationed in the team, as well as the masses of Muyehua Village.

They came to humbly ask Zhang Guangming for advice on the ability to see the sky.

One day, Zhang Guangming received a call from Sun Qingxi, the director of the commune, saying that he asked him to recommend that Ma Xiaomei go to college.
