Chapter 810: Fifty Bitter Sister-in-law (44)
In addition to Xu Yin, the other members of the reclamation team will return to their hometown, Yuanshan County, after the autumn harvest.
The three years of hard work here will be a strong part of their resume. After going back, the major factories will give priority to them.
No, there will be a number of factories to recruit at the end of the year, which means that there will be jobs when they go back.
The return date is just around the corner, the employment problem will also be solved, and the good news is coming one after another, making these young people more motivated.
Not only is the Yuanshan team full of energy, but other reclamation teams have also broken their own reclamation records this year.
By the time of the autumn harvest, the total number of acres of wasteland reclaimed by the five reclamation teams in Beiguan had reached 30,000 mu, and in the golden autumn of October, the total amount of grain handed over exceeded 1,000 tons, and a beautiful answer sheet was submitted to the motherland.
These 30,000 acres of fields, this endless golden field, will be defended by the soldiers who have transferred to this place.
After the solemn handover ceremony of the waist drum Yangge, the reclamation team left Beiguan one after another and returned to their hometown in the order in which they came.
The demobilized soldiers who took over arrived in batches to build the houses they needed for their future work and life before the winter began.
In the future, the Beiguan State Farm, which will impress people all over the country, has already taken shape at this moment.
Before the winter, Xu Yin moved into a public house built by the farm for the families of employees.
The two rows of houses left behind by the reclamation team were converted into farm offices. In the future, this is the entrance to the farm, which is the closest to Hewo Zitun. Outsiders, visiting the farm or visiting relatives and friends, need to register and wait here.
The living quarters of the workers and their families are located at the boundary of the fields that have been reclaimed so far, and are located in the northward extension of the river. Building houses along the riverbank not only facilitates access to water, but also does not affect future reclamation.
The flat staff room, open the door to the barren grass beach in front of the riverbank.
A vacant lot was left behind the house, and the vacant land was used to cultivate the area for future work.
Some workers have four or five children in their families, and they can't live in a public house, so they build a room in the open space behind the house for the eldest children to live in; Some employees plan to open up their backyards into vegetable patches and plan to plant vegetables in the spring of the coming year.
Xu Yin fell in love with a long slidly slidable land near the river beach in front of the door, the surface is moist and the soil is fertile, so it must be good for growing vegetables. As for the backyard, it's still going to be the same as before - a fence and a chicken coop to raise chickens.
It's so far from the mountains that I go there once in a while. I usually want to improve my food openly, in addition to the fish in the river, I raise a few chickens and pick up a few eggs to eat.
Fortunately, in the past two years, she has successively put a lot of cold-water fish and shrimp from Taoyuan Star into this big river.
These cold-water fish and shrimp are extremely resistant to low temperatures, and they are cold and snowy winters, and they dig a hole in the ice, and the fish they catch are still alive and can be raised in ice buckets for days.
Unfortunately, their yields are quite low, and after two years of breeding, it is still rare to see them nimble. Unless you use a large fishing net, like a carpet search, you don't want to catch them.
Xu Yin also used the skill of [Fishing Big with Small], as well as homemade fragrant fish food, otherwise she might not have had the opportunity to taste it.
But once you taste them, you'll be captured by their tenderness.
Captain Fu never forgot their taste, and before leaving, he made a homemade fishing net and went down to the river to catch it once, but unfortunately there was no harvest.
In the end, it was Xu Yin who took action and helped him catch one, so that he would not return to Yuanshan County with regrets.
Xu Yin also caught two of them, but she didn't plan to eat them fresh, so she wiped them lightly with coarse salt, dried them into dried fish, and sent them to Cheng's house together with a preserved chicken and a pack of dried mushrooms and bamboo shoots.
They don't plan to go back for the Chinese New Year today, the farm has just been established, there are a lot of things to be busy, the public house has just moved in, and they also need a warm house and a warm kang, by the way, they use sandpaper to grind the rough walls and stone kang walls, and arrange the room more warmly.
After all, this is their home from now on. If you don't do it in winter, you won't have time to get busy in spring.
Cheng family.
Cheng's mother was unpacking the package that Cheng's father went to the post office to pick up after work, and she was very heavy, and couldn't help muttering:
"Looking at the address, it should have been sent by my son, but didn't I just write a letter back ten months ago? I didn't say I would send something. What could it be? It's so tightly sewn. ”
"If you take it apart and see it, you'll know." Cheng's father took a sip of water and came over to help.
The two of them worked together to unpack the huge package.
"Wow!"
Many years of goods!
"Is this a fish?"
"And chickens!"
"So many dried mushrooms and bamboo shoots? I haven't finished last year's food yet! ”
"There's a letter here?"
When I opened it, it was not a letter, but a small bag of wild camellia.
"It smells so good!"
"Don't just smell it, look for any faith."
"Yes, yes, here!"
Cheng's father pulled out the letter written by his son from a pile of New Year's goods, and was so concise that he almost wanted to beat him.
"Stinky boy, such a big piece of letter paper, only a few lines are written, the ink is saved, and the credible paper is half empty, isn't it also a waste!"
Cheng's mother urged him to read, and sighed after listening to him: "You can be content!" If it weren't for Yin Yin, even if he didn't go home for the New Year, he wouldn't have organized so many New Year's goods to be sent back. ”
"That's right." Cheng's father felt the same way, "Our son's vision of finding a daughter-in-law is really good!" ”
The two of them thought of the Liu family next door.
Lao Liu and Cheng's father are the same age, gave birth to three sons, married three daughters-in-law, but the family is still only busy in and out of the family during the New Year.
Cheng's mother looked at the table full of New Year's goods, and couldn't help but worry about her son and daughter-in-law in Beiguan: "Eighty percent of them have used up the allowance again, the winter in the north is so cold, how can they do it without some money!" ”
Cheng's father laughed: "You must have not listened carefully to the letter I read, didn't my son say it?" The chickens were raised by Yin Yin herself, the fish were caught by Yin Yin from the river, the mushrooms and dried bamboo shoots were picked by Yin Yin when they went to the mountains to play on vacation, and the wild camellia was also picked from the mountains and fried by Yin Yin herself. ”
Cheng's mother pretended to be angry and punched him: "Oops! Who told you to scold your son for being lazy while reading the letter, and you don't want to write a few more words when you write a letter, so I missed it! ”
After speaking, he laughed happily: "This daughter-in-law is well found!" ”
"Shh-" Cheng's father raised his index finger at her, "A little noise, it was heard by Lao Liu and his wife, and they thought we were deliberately showing off!" ”
Last time, Cheng Cheng's mother praised her daughter-in-law for her filial piety and thoughtfulness, and spent money to get a bottle of medicinal oil, the effect was really good.
Lao Liu's daughter-in-law's face darkened on the spot, and she felt that Cheng's mother was deliberately scolding her. Who let her three daughters-in-law be lazier and more picky than the other, and the old couple of them have not only not enjoyed the blessings since the daughter-in-law entered the door, but also had a few more mouths waiting to eat.
Thinking of this, the couple looked at each other, pursed their lips and laughed silently.
