The Pretty Military Wife

Xiao Shun quickly found a place to back up the car and brought the two of them over.

When Uncle Liu arrived, the first thing he did was to look at his cows.

The cow was well taken care of. Xiao Shun even gave it a bath last night. He also built a simple shed for it. At least it could keep it out of the cold. He built the shed outside the kitchen wall, so that the kang would be warm and there would be some heat in the shed.

Liang Xinyue and the others hadn't finished cleaning up their homes yet, but Zhou Guoliang had already bought a few servings of breakfast from the army, so when Xiao Shun came back with his men, it was just in time for them to have breakfast.

After breakfast, Xiao Shun and the Liu father and son led the cows to the fields.

With the father and son here, Xiao Shun no longer has to help with the cow grazing. He can just help clear the tree roots.

After cleaning for a while, Uncle Liu's son came over and asked Fu Chunhua to help with pulling the cow ox, because pulling the cow ox is indeed an easy job. As a grown man, he felt a little uncomfortable when he saw Xiao Shun, who had lost a leg but was still swinging the axe hard to get the tree roots.

They are all people who do the labor, and it's okay for only good people to work harder.

Fu Chunhua looked at Long Xiaomei:

"Little sister, why don't you go and lead the cow."

Liang Xinyue also said:

"Okay, little sister, you go and lead the way. Listen to Uncle Liu and follow his instructions."

Uncle Liu's son went over and picked up an axe to help Xiao Shun cut the tree roots.

It is easier to deal with the tree roots with two men.

And with the experience from yesterday, Liang Xinyue and the others cleaned up very quickly today.

They no longer cleaned together, but divided into rows of two, and each person cleaned from the beginning of another row.

Put the cleaned roots together again, and take away all the cleaned roots at noon.

After plowing for a while, Grandpa Liu asked the little sister to stop. Then he sat down to the side and smoked a cigarette. His son came over and said:

"Dad, let me do it."

Uncle Liu glared at him:

"I'm not afraid of plowing a field, just help me dig up the roots of that tree."

Yes, because the soil towards the middle is looser and easier to plow.

Uncle Liu plowed until noon and took two breaks to smoke.

At noon, Liang Xinyue left first and went back to prepare the meal.

Xiao Shun was invited to accompany them for dinner. Zhou Guoliang was on duty and did not come back, so he asked Xiao Wei to bring some food back.

He knew that two people were coming to help today, and was afraid that Liang Xinyue would not have time to cook, so he ordered two dishes from the cafeteria.

But it was a good thing that he brought back some food and dishes, because Uncle Liu’s son, Big Liu, was such a great eater.

After Aunt Li had helped her twice, he felt embarrassed. Liang Xinyue smiled and said:

"We are all workers. It is a blessing to be able to eat. If you have food, eat it. If you don't have food, just eat half full. I will make more in the evening."

But after adding more food twice, he stopped eating.

In the evening, Liang Xinyue not only cooked a meal, but also made a pot of noodle soup.

Sure enough, they would have to plow the field for another day tomorrow to finish it, so Uncle Liu and his son would have to come again tomorrow.

It was Xiao Shun who offered to drive them again. This time, Uncle Liu was reluctant to do so, saying that his son was with them, and it would be faster for the two of them to walk together, so it would only take a little over an hour to walk home.

He also told Xiao Shun not to pick them up tomorrow morning, as they could come by themselves.

Zhou Guoliang couldn't come back at night, and Liang Xinyue didn't read after putting the child to sleep. Instead, she took a piece of paper and started writing and drawing. She wanted to make a detailed plan for what to plant in the valley this spring.

The valley bottom has been decided to be planted with rice, but the land on the half of the hillside that has been opened up will still be used to plant a large amount of vegetables.

The spring beans will be harvested tomorrow and then the vines will be pulled out again. The next step is to plant potatoes.

But this time when planting potatoes, she plans to use a greenhouse.

Growing in a greenhouse can speed up the maturity and increase the yield.

The greenhouses here are now very mature.

And we can build a few more sheds this time.

Liang Xinyue planned carefully and planted all the melon seedlings. They could be transplanted as soon as the temperature rose a little bit.

The next day, Grandpa Liu and his son arrived very early. They went to the fields after breakfast and plowed the remaining land in half a day. The father and son did not leave after lunch and went to the fields to clean up the grass and tree roots. Then Grandpa Liu asked about the greenhouse.

Liang Xinyue still explained to them how to do it seriously, and showed them how to grow crops in the greenhouse. She also brought them some green beans that she had picked today.

For them, this thing could only be eaten in summer, but now they can eat it in early spring because of the greenhouse.

Uncle Liu walked around the greenhouse twice, found Liang Xinyue and said:

"Leader, can you teach us how to make this? We don't need to be paid. Just teach us how to make one and we can grow some vegetables to eat."

Liang Xinyue smiled and said:

"We will teach you. We have connections with the county and city, but we can't promote it this year. The county may select a few places for pilot projects. I will go and take a look then."

Liang Xinyue also told them:

"Well, go back and tidy up the land first, and prepare these root strips. They need to be stable. These are ours for trial use, and they are not good. Anyway, you have to be solid. Prepare them according to the length I said. Today is Monday. I will go to your house next Monday to check. If you are ready, I will bring you the membrane and try to make one at your house. Don't make it that big."

Liang Xinyue also wants to promote these technologies. Now where the troops are located, going towards the county town, there are mountains and hills. Behind the mountains is the Gobi Desert, and going further out is the desert.

Therefore, the people here don’t have enough food, let alone vegetables.

If greenhouse cultivation can be promoted, some things can be planted earlier or two crops can be harvested a year, or even some vegetables can be grown to sell, which can also improve people's lives.

Liang Xinyue had discussed this matter with Director Ye and others when she started growing crops in the greenhouse last year.

As long as Liang Xinyue succeeds in planting for one year, that is, all four seasons, and gets the best data, she can then go to various counties and cities to select a few locations for pilot projects.

But Liang Xinyue later discussed with Zhou Guoliang that this was a military place after all, and outsiders could not be allowed to come in to visit and learn.

Therefore, Liang Xinyue also wanted to find a household's land outside to farm.

Since Uncle Liu had this idea, Liang Xinyue naturally agreed.

Liang Xinyue also said that she would provide them with the membrane and they didn't need to prepare it.

However, Liang Xinyue still converted the wages due to Uncle Liu and his son into cash according to the local price and gave it to the two of them.

Uncle Liu really didn't expect that after helping with the work for two days, he could actually get paid and even eat meat every day.

At first he thought that what he was doing might mean supporting the army and he would not get any income.
