The Pretty Military Wife

Just as he was about to ask how to industrialize it and what industrialization meant, a scream came from behind him:

"What? You want me to scatter ashes? I won't! I... I got these leather shoes from a big city in the East. There are only two pairs in our county. You want me to wear these to work in the fields?"

"No, I'm going to find Director Ren."

As soon as Director Ren turned around, someone came up to him and said:

"Uncle Ren, you have to talk to them. They asked me to scatter ashes!"

Liang Xinyue on the side said seriously:

"Of all the things we have to do now, spreading ash is the simplest. Carrying manure, pouring manure, digging the ground, sowing seeds, and spreading ash. Which one do you want to do?"

"Yuanyuan, this is exactly the process. Look, the tasks assigned to you are the easiest. Change out of your clothes and go to the fields. When you are here, you naturally have to do some work."

Director Ren still tried to persuade him kindly.

The girl named Yuanyuan stamped her feet anxiously:

"Uncle Ren, I'm not going to spread the ashes. How can I spread the ashes? It's so dirty. I didn't bring any other clothes. My other set of clothes is also like this. Besides, my dad said that this is something that educated people should do. Which educated person should go to the fields to plant things? I'll just do office work."

Director Ren frowned.

Liang Xinyue said with a smile:

"I'm really sorry, we don't have an office here. This big world is where we work. There is a lot to do in this big world."

Seeing Liang Xinyue interrupted her twice in a row, she became unhappy:

"Uncle Ren, who is she?"

Director Ren almost rolled his eyes:

"She is the person you are here to learn from. Her name is Liang Xinyue. She is a researcher at the Provincial Agricultural Research Institute. You are here to learn from her. She is the general manager of this experimental field."

When Li Yuanyuan heard that Liang Xinyue was the person who was commended by the provincial and municipal governments, her expression immediately changed:

"Sister Liang, I always hear my dad praise you at home, and this time he asked me to come and learn from you. Do you want an assistant? I can learn from you, which will also help me improve."

Liang Xinyue raised her hand and pointed at Long Xiaomei in front of her:

"See, that little girl wearing a straw hat is my assistant. Can you do the work she does?"

Little Sister Long was helping to apply manure to the fields.

Yesterday, the two compost pits were filled with water, and there happened to be some manure underneath, so the manure was soaked overnight. Today, we used the manure water to water all the land that was going to be used as a shed.

In order to complete the task faster, the male comrades carried the manure while the female comrades were responsible for watering the fields.

Liang Xinyue had set aside several plots of land for breeding, and was now spreading seeds and ashes at the same time.

Li Yuanyuan was speechless when she saw the petite Long Xiaomei also spreading feces.

However, he turned around and said to another person:

"I thought you really came to learn from people in the province, but I didn't expect you to be a farmer. Oh, I don't want to farm."

Only two men came over to find Captain Liu:

"We can carry manure and get the manure bucket anywhere."

The young man rolled up his sleeves as he spoke.

Captain Liu shouted:

"Yu Jiarong, come and take these two comrades to help carry manure. Find them two small buckets, better ones, so that they don't get wet."

One of the guys said:

"It's okay, I took it."

"I was worried about that, too."

Without saying a word, the two of them took the initiative to walk towards Yu Jiarong who was answering.

Then he followed Yu Jiarong.

Liang Xinyue turned around and looked at the remaining eleven people:

"What are your plans, the eleven of you? Are you going to stand here and oversee the work?"

A girl gritted her teeth:

"I'm going to change my clothes and shoes."

She turned around and went to the room she had chosen before. After waiting for a while, she came out wearing a pair of cloth shoes and changed her white shirt into an older-looking blue flowered shirt.

Then he walked over and said:

"Comrade Liang, I'm going to scatter the ashes."

Liang Xinyue looked at her cloth shoes:

"If you want to spread dust, your cloth shoes won't work. How about I find you a pair of rain boots?"

If these girls from the city are willing to do it, Liang Xinyue is still willing to help.

The little girl thought about it and nodded.

Liang Xinyue shouted:

"Little sister, go to my brother's house and get my sister-in-law's rain boots."

Long Xiaomei responded and then trotted towards Liang Jun's home.

The other girl was a little hesitant, but was stopped by Li Yuanyuan. She couldn't just do it alone.

Liang Xinyue pretended not to see it and just asked the girl in front of her:

"What's your name?"

"My name is Ding Shiqing. I'm from Xiliang County."

Director Ren on the side laughed and said:

"Remember the fat guy who came to the meeting last time? I called him Lao Ding. He was her father. Lao Ding was a very down-to-earth person."

Liang Xinyue remembered that the fat Director Ding was the Director of Agriculture of Xiliang County. Last time he came with the city officials, he bought a big bag of vegetables at the vegetable store before leaving.

Liang Xinyue smiled and said:

"how old are you?"

"nineteen."

"Well, it's a good age. How many books have you read?"

"I graduated from junior high school and only studied in high school for one year. The school closed down, so I stopped studying."

Liang Xinyue smiled and said:

"I still need to study more when I have time. I can learn on my own without going to school."

As she was speaking, Long Xiaomei brought the rain boots.

Liang Xinyue had prepared a pair of new rain boots for each person before her sister-in-law and her family came.

And because of her sister-in-law's personality, Liang Xinyue wanted to dress her in brighter clothes to make her feel better, so she bought her a pair of red rain boots.

Ding Shiqing saw that it was new and shook her head:

"Comrade Liang, let's not wear them. These are new shoes. If I wear them and get into the dust, they will get dirty. I...I'll just wear cloth shoes. I'll wash them later."

"If you don't wear it, I will!"

Li Yuanyuan suddenly reached out from the side and snatched it away.

Liang Xinyue didn't spoil her:

"I'm sorry, I didn't agree to let you wear it."

Liang Xinyue reached out and took the rain boots back, then said to Ding Shiqing:

"Well, since you're afraid it'll get dirty, I'll wear the new one and you can wear mine."

Liang Xinyue changed her shoes and said with a smile:

"My feet are not small, size 38, will it be too big for you?"

"Not big. I'm a size 37 and a half. Perfect."

Ding Shiqing put it on and followed Long Xiaomei. Liang Xinyue told Long Xiaomei and arranged for Ding Shiqing to learn how to scatter ashes.

No one wanted to move the remaining people. Liang Xinyue looked at them without saying anything. She turned around and said to Captain Liu:

"Take away the firewood from the educated youth's camp and find a fire yourself. If anyone bothers you, come to me."

Director Ren pretended not to hear, walked forward a few steps and said loudly without turning his head:

"Xinyue, I'm going to go check out the fields on the mountain and the pits where you ferment fertilizer."
