On the other side, Wang Huzi, who had completed the work, was ready to return to the station, and it was time to go back to the town after coming out for the past two days.

It's just that before leaving, he was called to a saline-alkali land by Ma Sanxing.

He came mainly to see the tractor this time, but Ma Sanxing had to pull him to see what kind of saline-resistant cornfield.

This thing, at first, he heard that Yang Xiaotao made corn that could be seeded in saline-alkali land, and he was curious for a while, but when he thought of the situation in saline-alkali land, he didn't ask again.

In his opinion, if it can grow, then plant.

Anyway, as long as you get more than what you sow.

It's just that when Ma Sanxing brought him to his destination, the scene in front of him was different from what he imagined.

Growing corn in saline-alkali land will never grow so neatly.

It should be the kind of corn that is scattered in twos and threes, long and short, how can this be, it shouldn't be like this.

Wang Huzi was a little skeptical that this was saline-alkali land.

However, looking at the color of the ground, he had no doubt that this was a saline land.

However, looking at the corn stalks more than two meters high in front of him, the rows were neatly long, and there were long corn cobs hanging on them, Wang Huzi didn't dare to believe it.

Ma Sanxing saw the shock of Wang Huzi, and a smile bloomed on his old face.

"Chief, this is the seed that Teacher Yang brought earlier, and he said that it can grow on saline-alkali land."

"It's amazing, my old man has been planting the land for so many years, and it is the first time that I have found that such good corn can be grown in saline-alkali land."

"Look, this cob, looking at the particles inside, none of them are any worse than ordinary corn."

Ma Sanxing came almost once a day during this time, just to see with his own eyes these corns that can grow on saline-alkali land.

Wang Huzi held back the shock in his heart, didn't say much, and walked straight into the cornfield.

Ignoring the entanglement of corn leaves, he touched this and that from time to time, and finally broke off one, peeled it off himself, and gnawed it hard.

Bear! But there is a chewy head!

"Well, it's delicious, haha, it's good."

Behind him, Xiao Wu and a few guards saw and stood aside, until Wang Huzi came out with two corn cobs, and then stepped forward to continue.

"This piece, it's all that, Blood Jade?"

"Yes, Mr. Yang got the blood jade, because it was planted late at that time, and it may be related to the variety, this blood jade blooms and pollinates later than ordinary corn, so it matures later."

"But, this yield, chief, is definitely stronger than ordinary corn."

"With such an acre, you will have to harvest three or four hundred catties to say the least."

"In the past, there was saline-alkali land that couldn't be planted, and even if it was planted, it didn't necessarily have 100 catties, and it wasn't enough."

Ma Sanxing sighed, and Wang Huzi was also in a mood.

In the vast northwest, there is a large area of saline-alkali land, which is not suitable for human cultivation, so only a small part of it is used by farms.

And now, with this kind of sub, it means that the size of the farm can be doubled, or even multiplied.

In the future, not only cotton and other cash crops can be planted here in the northwest, but also this kind of corn can be grown, which will become a grain warehouse for the whole country, which will feed more people and stabilize the border defense.

"I remember Yang Xiaotao said that this kind of seed should be stored separately and should not be mixed with others?"

"Yes, Mr. Yang said, this is a special seed, to be stored separately, and it can't be planted close to those corns at that time, just like breeding."

Ma Sanxing said solemnly, and Wang Huzi nodded.

"This year, when next year begins, these seeds will be planted, and in the future, with a tractor, it will be easier to farm, and you should pay more attention to this breeding matter."

Ma Sanxing nodded in understanding.

The two walked around the cornfield, and Wang Huzi immediately returned to the farm.

Wang Huzi picked up the phone again and reported the situation here.

"Old money, huh? The tractor is good, very good, I agreed to try it in a batch. ”

"Yes, it's dynamic, it's strong, it's very suitable in this environment."

"There's one more thing I want to tell you this time."

Wang Huzi suppressed his psychological excitement and told Secretary Qian about the blood jade, and there was silence on the phone for a long time.

It wasn't until the end that he said, "I'm going to report to my superiors." ”

And just when Wang Huzi was about to go back to plan, the sky in Sijiu City had already darkened.

Yang Xiaotao was finally free, came out of the steel factory, and drove to Yangjiazhuang.

When I returned to Zhuangzi, I found that the large team headquarters was full of people.

When I walked in, I realized that I had been there.

The corn harvested this time has been dried and ready to be stored, and judging by everyone's demeanor, it should be a bumper harvest year.

"Master, Uncle Nine, Uncle Zhuang."

"Hey, Xiao Tao is back."

Yang Xiaotao walked in and greeted a room of people, and everyone responded with a smile, and then saw Mr. Hong holding a notebook and constantly reading the number, which was written about the amount of corn harvested this time, and Uncle Nine next to him also had an abacus and was constantly dialing.

Ding Fatzi rubbed his hands even more, whether he can complete the task of his superiors depends on this time.

"It's out!"

As Uncle Jiu's last left thumb pushed up, a six-digit number appeared on the abacus.

Yang Xiaotao stretched out his head and took a look, the upper bead on the far left plus the lower one happened to be a six.

More than 600,000.

Not a lot.

I remember that Yangjiazhuang originally only had 600 acres of land, which is still good and bad combined, and then counting the other two villages, the available arable land in the farm is 16,700 mu, according to the yield per mu, the yield of 3 or 400 catties per mu is very consistent with the yield of ordinary corn.

After all, these are all breeded.

If Yangcun No. 1 is planted, it is estimated that the yield can be doubled.

The preliminary data came out, and there was a lot of laughter in the room.

Ding Fatzi stepped forward to carefully transcribe the data, while Yang Dazhuang was checking on the side.

Yang Xiaotao approached Teacher Hong's side, talked and laughed, and handed over the fruit bag that Ran Qiuye had instructed.

Teacher Hong was not polite when he saw it, took the bag and smiled, "My Xiao Zhang said that every time I come back, I can touch the light of your family, and when this child comes out, I can't recognize a godfather." ”

"Haha, then admit it, it's all familiar anyway."

Yang Xiaotao said indifferently, and even felt that it was not bad to become a godfather with Teacher Hong.

After all, this is the future six-star!

"By the way, I'll go up to watch the ceremony in two days, what's the matter, isn't it exciting?"

"Excited? Okay, but speaking of which, how many times have you been there? ”

"I, I think four or five times."

"How do you feel?"

"Feelings? I don't feel anything! ”

"I think you're showing off."

"Haha."

The two were talking and laughing, and on the other side, Yang Xiaotao saw two white noodle bags on the ground.

"You came back just in time, these two bags are two catties of noodles from each family in the village, take them in the car when you leave, remember to send them to me."

Mrs. Yang was talking to Uncle Jiu, and when he saw Yang Xiaotao talking solemnly, Yang Xiaotao nodded.

That's what he did when he came back this time, although he was a little embarrassed.

"I've gained a lot this time."

"The crops in Zhuangzi are all good seeds, because the scale has been expanded this year, more than half of last year's improved seeds, and when they are planted again next year, there will be more villages around them that can use Shangyang Village No. 1."

"That's good, by the way, these cornmeals, they won't be Yangcun No. 1."

Yang Xiaotao suddenly asked, Mrs. Yang stood aside and came directly, Yang Xiaotao hurriedly covered his head and stood aside, and heard Yang Dazhuang and a few people laugh, "How can we be willing to grind noodles with such good seeds." ”

"Everyone in our village has a share, which was agreed last time, and several surrounding villages will give it together."

"Oh, I see, haha."

Yang Xiaotao smiled, "Then plant wheat next?" ”

"Well, after eleven, I'll be dry. By the way, this time the tractors in the village have been replaced with diesel, which is really fast. ”

Yang Dazhuang sighed, this diesel is faster than steam, and there are not so many problems, there is no need to run and stop to add coal and water, it is fuel.

"Is it fully equipped?"

"It's complete, these can be used for steam tractors in the past, you don't know, the surrounding villages are thinking of building one, and this one is half a brigade."

"That's right, Xiao Tao, your machinery factory needs to produce more, the more machines we have, the more we do."

Uncle Yang Jiu and the others were also talking, seeing the benefits of tractors, they were cheap, and everyone looked down on the previous way of working.

"Rest assured, after the integration of the machinery factory, the production of tractors is increasing day by day, and it will not be long before the whole country will use it."

"That's great."

Everyone laughed, Yang Xiaotao had to hurry back, so he carried two bags of sturdy cornmeal into the car, and then picked up Mrs. Yang in the car and went back to Sijiu City together, this time Mrs. Yang wanted to go to the scene to see.

In the car, Mrs. Yang handed a small notebook to Yang Xiaotao.

"What's this?"

"See for yourself."

Yang Xiaotao was surprised, opened it and saw a sentence written at the beginning of the first page.

Looking at the handwriting, it looks like a student's handwriting.

"Give it to the people closest to you."

"Respected chief, we are the villagers of Yangjiazhuang, our village was originally "

"Now, we have been able to be self-sufficient, and each of our children can have enough to eat and grow happily under the red flag"

"Grandpas told us that we don't forget to dig wells, and we have a good life today because of you, providing us with a carefree blue sky"

"Therefore, we will give the fruits of this harvest to your dearest, and I wish you good health."

"This, this"

"This is what the villagers asked, he is afraid that you will send it, and people will not accept it, with this, no one can say."

"Okay."

Yang Xiaotao put the booklet away, and then said with a smile, "Am I the hope of the whole village?" ”

"Let's go."

Mrs. Yang leaned on the co-pilot, his eyes narrowed, feeling the warmth of the sun.

Yang Xiaotao smiled, then drove the car and said goodbye to Yang Dazhuang and others.

After returning to the courtyard, it was already late.

Yang Xiaotao moved the cornmeal to his home, and the people around him were curious.

However, after knowing that it was cornmeal, many people were psychologically savored.

The three mothers are especially red-eyed, those two bags of cornmeal, if they are left at his house, they can eat at least half a year.

Yan Fugui came back with a fishing rod and a bucket of fish, and went fishing this afternoon, and as a result, he caught two small fish, fortunately, he could add a soup.

Just seeing Yang Xiaotao carrying the noodle bag home, his eyes felt a little painful.

Qin Huairu watched at the door of an aunt, and both of them were envious in their eyes.

However, envy is envy, but there is no point in the mind.

Over the years, they also know what the relationship between the two families is.

It is their good fortune to be safe and sound in this way.

"Huairu, have you been looking at the pillar recently?"

An aunt asked, Qin Huairu shook her head, "The coal yard is far away, and besides, the pillar is busy, and I still have children to take care of."

An aunt sighed, the two talked about talking, and Qin Huairu was going home.

Looking at the back of Qin Huairu leaving, Aunt Yi shook her head even more.

These days, Qin Huairu has plenty of money on hand, but.

How did the money come from, can she be a woman who doesn't know?

"It's a pity for the pillar."

"There's an extra dog in the house?"

As soon as Mrs. Yang entered the door, he saw the big black dog standing up, but he had a collar around his neck, and he didn't care.

"Well, Wangcai is looking for it!"

"It's called a black girl."

Yang Xiaotao smiled, this name was given by Ran Qiuye, which is very appropriate.

In the house, Ran Qiuye pushed the two girls out, and Xiao Duanwu followed behind, and when he saw the master coming, he immediately ran forward with his calves.

"Oops, slow down, slow down!"

The master took two steps forward and hugged the little guy in his arms, "It's sinking again, haha!" ”

"Master, come into the house!"

Ran Qiuye said, and the old man walked to the house with the child in his arms.
