The Pretty Military Wife

If Long Xiaomei is not at home, Long Xiaobing will stay at Liang Xinyue's house almost all the time except for sleeping.

But all these were left to Liang Jun and his men.

Liang Xinyue arrived at Xinshui Village the next day, and everyone was paid. In addition to selling vegetables, Liang Xinyue also planned to harvest peanuts from the mountain.

The peanut vines are now starting to wither, which means the peanuts below are ripe.

So, after sending away two trucks of vegetables, Liang Xinyue called together Ding Shiqing and Captain Liu and a few others.

Ding Shiqing is a really good girl. She does things in an organized way and is very good at summarizing experience.

Therefore, Liang Xinyue could be responsible for many things. Two other college students from the province, Lu Tianxing and Hu Yanhong, were also called to attend the meeting and briefly explained the current situation.

Captain Liu said cheerfully:

"There is absolutely no problem with manpower. Now everyone is vying to do work."

The accountant laughed and said:

"That's right. Now everyone's monthly salary is higher than ours, and they are very happy."

Captain Liu said quietly:

"You don't know that two families here got engaged yesterday. In the past, if you wanted to marry a girl from outside, to put it bluntly, you had to coax and deceive her. Now they are eager to marry here. Comrade Liang, I have to thank you for everything."

Liang Xinyue laughed and said:

"Then you have to tell everyone that you have to open your eyes and see clearly before marrying. If you have the conditions, you have to be selective. You have to choose someone who is hardworking and sensible, not just pretty. What we lack here are people who can work. You can't make money here if you don't work."

Not long after the meeting started, we made a simple division of labor and prepared to dig peanuts in small groups. Moreover, peanuts can be eaten on the spot, so we were afraid that someone would eat them secretly or take them away quietly.

Therefore, Liang Xinyue suggested that the first thing to do is to warn everyone that if this kind of behavior is caught, the person’s qualification to participate in labor will be revoked, which means that this person will no longer be able to earn money from the cooperative.

Second, after digging, each family will get some peanuts, so don’t think about trying it first. Whichever group is caught will get less peanuts for the entire group.

If we continue to make such demands, everyone will supervise each other.

Liang Xinyue divided the groups into groups again, with each person leading a small group, and they would try to dig all the peanuts within two days.

Taking advantage of the good weather now, it can basically be dried in two days of drying.

Ding Shiqing, Hu Yanhong and a few other middle-aged women are in charge of drying the peanuts. The peanuts are stored in the storage room at night, and Uncle Liu and Captain Liu are still on duty at night.

After the meeting here, Liang Xinyue went into the city again, this time to see Director Ren.

Have you contacted the oil mill I mentioned last time? Now the peanuts are out. One purpose is to use them to extract oil, and the other is to sell them to some pastry manufacturers in the south.

Liang Xinyue had told Zou Wenqing about this before. After she returned to the South, she didn't know whether he took this matter to heart, but she had to be prepared for both situations.

Director Ren was having a headache. First, this batch of peanuts was the only one he could harvest, and if he pressed the oil, it wouldn't be continuous. The output wasn't high enough to justify building an oil mill for this amount of peanuts.

Moreover, the people at the oil mill he found said that they had never squeezed peanut oil. The machines were all for squeezing rapeseed. So, they were afraid of damaging the machines.

Liang Xinyue thought about it for a while and then called Director Ye directly in Director Ren’s office.

Just contact the buyer.

Ye Chu received the call and said happily:

"Don't worry about this. I'll contact you and get back to you in two days at most."

Liang Xinyue felt relieved. After harvesting the peanuts, she planned to plant winter soybeans.

Although the weather here will get cold in two months, planting beans this time is not really just for the harvest, but because planting beans fertilizes the soil.

If you plant beans on a piece of barren land for three consecutive years, it will become fertile farmland.

So, after planting beans this time, the land on the mountain will be planted with spring beans again next year when spring comes, and there will be a harvest that time. After the spring beans, peanuts will be planted for a season, and then beans will be planted again. Then the land on the entire mountain will be mature.

Liang Xinyue had calculated all of this carefully.

Also prepare the seeds and other things.

Now that we are here, we discussed the canal repair issue with Director Ren and made it clear that the canal must be repaired.

Director Ren smiled and said:

"You said that at the meeting the day before yesterday, which is good. Yesterday, several county leaders met and decided that this is a great thing that will benefit the country and the people, so we should start the construction. The people have been confirmed, and Deputy County Chief Li and I will be in charge. You are also a member of the team, but I think you have a lot of things to do every day, so I just put you on the list."

Liang Xinyue laughed:

"It's the best that Director Ren saw my hard work. Now that it's fixed, I get some credit as well."

Director Ren said seriously:

"No, you have made great contributions. In addition to leading the new water village, you also found the source of the underground river. Although we don't believe in those things, there are some things that say you are a blessed person, and that is all true."

Indeed, they had thought about improving the irrigation in this county since liberation, and they also knew from the county annals that there was an underground river in this county, but they had never found it.

Because of various movements, no one took the search too seriously, so it was delayed for decades. Liang Xinyue started to do it, and finally found it.

This is a big deal for the people and for the farmers in the entire county.

Director Ren pointed to the map on the wall:

"Look, this red dot is where we found the underground river with water source. There are troops over here. We cannot disturb them, so we are going to go around from the back. There is another advantage of going around here. There is a county over here, and we can divert the canal over here."

"The canal in our county is the easiest to build. It is built from west to east, so the water flows eastward, and the terrain is lower to the east."

"There are 11 communes in our county. You see, because of the terrain, the canal branches out from here, forming a herringbone shape. We built it according to this herringbone shape. This is the main canal."

"Then each commune planned a branch channel according to the distribution of its own villages, and finally the water flowed into the river here."

Indeed, such a plan covers the entire county.

"We are preparing. The county will be responsible for the main canal, provide the labor and other things, and build it to ensure that it passes through every commune."

"As for the canals that are divided by the communes, each commune will be responsible for them, and they can assign the task to each village to build its own village."

Liang Xinyue also nodded and said:

"That's right. However, I suggest you find an expert to review the planning of the villages below. The planning must be reasonable and achieve the best effect at the lowest cost. Once this thing is repaired, it can be used for future generations."
