Chapter 44 Sweet Potato Field
It had rained heavily, and just as Guan Jianguo had said last time after he came back from seeing it, the cliff had already slipped.
The rope tied to the tree was still there, but the end was buried deep in the soil.
They found another place and tied a long rope. One person was left on the cliff to watch while the captain, the remaining two people and Nian Lin went down the cliff along the rope.
After being washed by rain, the bottom of the cliff is now different from the last time Tan Yuan and the others came.
There was no deer carcass, no blood, nothing but rocks and dirt that had slid down the cliff.
The marks left by Tan Yuan were still there, and Nian Lin led three people to run towards the cave.
It was only at this time that the team leader discovered that this new female educated youth was quite physically strong. Although she came from the city, her physical strength was much stronger than those of them who had been working in the fields all year round.
"There's actually a stream here, we never discovered it before."
Someone sighed and said that they had been running to the mountains since they were young, but this was their first time here.
"Nonsense, you went up the mountain and ran to the bottom of the cliff?!"
The person who was traveling with him tapped the man on the forehead and rolled his eyes.
Nian Lin didn't listen to what they were talking about. She lifted the weeds in front of her, revealing a large field of sweet potatoes.
The field was exactly the same as what they saw yesterday, without any difference.
"Sweet potatoes! They're really sweet potato vines, there are real sweet potatoes!!"
They took out the hoe from the backpack and started digging. They might not be able to read or write, but when it comes to digging sweet potatoes and harvesting wheat, they are all good at it.
But in a short while, a lot of sweet potatoes were dug out along the sweet potato vines.
I don’t know how many years this land has been abandoned and no one has taken care of it, but the sweet potatoes in this land are all huge.
There must be a water source nearby, so the wild animals in the mountains come here to drink water, and sometimes they also fertilize the land. In addition, after the sweet potatoes in the land grow, no one digs them up, so they rot in the land over time and form fertilizer, so the land is so fertile.
But after digging just a few thicker ones, a large backpack was filled to the brim.
"Captain, I think with such a large piece of land here, there must be several thousand kilograms of sweet potatoes."
Sweet potatoes are very moist, so they are particularly heavy. Go to the stream, wash off the dirt on the surface of the sweet potatoes, and then take a bite.
"Mmm, how sweet!"
Not only are the sweet potatoes sweet, but the people who dig them feel even sweeter!
After being worried about locusts for several days, I felt relieved the moment I took a bite of this sweet potato.
With these sweet potatoes, their team's life will be much better. At least they don't have to lose sleep over food rations anymore.
"Great, great, that's great! You young educated youth are the heroes of our brigade. The members of the brigade will all remember your kindness in their hearts!"
Three consecutive good words were the captain's affirmation of them.
Now, the gazes of the several male members who came to help looked at Nian Lin with a little more passion.
Nian Lin did not have any other thoughts because of the team leader's praise and the admiring looks of the male members.
In Nian Lin's eyes, this was not her credit. It was not her who found the sweet potato field, nor was it her who led the way and fell down. She came here just to find Tan Yuan.
How long would it take for them to carry so many sweet potatoes? The team leader immediately decided to organize the team members to find a way to build a path down the cliff.
It's just a cliff of five or six meters, and there are many members in the team, so it's a piece of cake to make a way out.
After deciding what to do, the team leader felt much better and ordered everyone to stop digging and said it would not be too late to dig slowly after the road was built.
The most urgent thing was to go back and hold a meeting to discuss how to get there. Also, as for the wild boar meat that Tan Yuan mentioned, since someone had helped their team find a sweet potato field, they had to bring all the wild boar meat back to the team.
The wild boar meat was kept safely in the cave. Nian Lin took the team leader and the others to the cave where they had stayed for the night.
The fire had long since died out, and all that remained was a black pile of burnt wood.
The bones left behind by Tan Yuan and the others were still scattered on the ground.
The members of the brigade seldom eat meat a few times a year. Usually it is only during the New Year when the brigade completes its tasks, and they share the meat when slaughtering the New Year pig, and cook it for the family to eat during the New Year's Eve dinner.
Or it is during the autumn harvest season when people make and eat the bacon pickled during the New Year. Normally, there are few opportunities to see fresh meat. Now, seeing so much fresh pork cut into pieces and hanging with straw ropes, especially the pieces of fat, makes people feel itchy.
The things in the mountains belong to whoever has the ability to get them. This has been a tacit agreement among everyone in the brigade for many years, and no one can break the rules.
No matter how itchy or envious you are, it's useless. If you have the ability, go and fight yourself!
“Comrade Nian, you are really this!”
A thumbs-up was placed in front of Nian Lin, with an expression of envy that was not concealed at all.
With so much meat, this wild boar must have weighed at least two hundred pounds when it was alive. To be able to kill this wild boar, it turns out that women are as brave as men.
"I didn't kill him. Tan Yuan and Guan Jianguo did."
She was not wrong. The fatal blow that killed the wild boar was dealt by Guan Jianguo, and the two pigs' eyes were blinded by Tan Yuan. The large and small wounds on the pigs' necks were also caused by Tan Yuan.
When they heard Guan Jianguo's name, several male members present had strange expressions on their faces.
Everyone in their team knew that Guan Jianguo was powerful, capable, and talented. It was a pity that he was born at the wrong time. If he had been born a few decades earlier, perhaps it would have been a blessing for them to even meet him once.
It's a pity that he was born at the wrong time. Now this is the people's world and the people's country.
Guan Jianguo was lucky to have met their group, otherwise he might still be staying on the farm now.
Many people in Huaiyin Brigade thought so. They looked down on Guan Jianguo's background, but at the same time they enjoyed the benefits he brought.
This man had no worries and was bold and daring. Many foremen in the county recognized him and often gave him work and asked him to lead people to do it. Others were not allowed to take on the work.
They selectively ignored Guan Jianguo's contributions and put all the credit on Nian Lin and other female comrades.
"Comrade Nian, you are so modest."
They said with a smile as they helped to carry the pork. There were several grown men here, so there was no way they would let a female comrade suffer.
Tan Yuan said she wanted to drink bone soup, and Nian Lin didn't waste any of it. She picked up all the bones and threw them into the backpack. She also took the bloody pig's head with her, washed it, and ate it.
