Send me to the countryside? Turn around and make you homeless!

Wang Dong might help Tan Yuan and the others to cheat, but the team leader would never do that. At this moment, Tian Cuiying really believed that the fish belonged to Tan Yuan and the others.

Could it be that Linlin really heard it wrong?

Thinking about it this way, it makes sense. People are usually groggy when they sleep at night, so mistaking what happened in a dream for reality... is probably normal, right?!

She hesitated, but felt the hand she was holding squeeze back, and any shred of doubt that had risen within her disappeared completely.

"I'm sorry, Comrade Li, Comrade Tan, Comrade Nian, I was wrong, I misunderstood you, I apologize!"

After she really thought it through, her apology became much more sincere.

Seeing this scene, the team leader was much more satisfied. He was the one who most hoped that the team would be peaceful, united and friendly, and that everyone could get rich together.

"You don't need to apologize to us. You misunderstood Comrade Li Xiu."

The person involved is Li Xiu, so she only needs to apologize to Li Xiu. Nian Lin's thoughts have always been simple.

Tian Cuiying's neck stiffened, but she finally lowered her head to Li Xiu. Li Xiu waved her hands helplessly, saying that she was fine and it didn't matter.

"Since Comrade Li Xiu says it's okay, then let's leave it at that. However, the punishment must still be imposed. Since you've wrongly accused others without any basis, you should be punished by cleaning the pigpen for a month."

The brigade has raised a lot of pigs in the pigpen. They have been raised since the beginning of the year and are already fat. With their size, they naturally eat a lot, and the more they eat, the more they poop. The pigpen is filled with the smell of feces and urine, which is extremely unpleasant.

Fortunately, the captain said 'you', not 'you guys'. Luo Linlin just breathed a sigh of relief and planned to leave the crowd quietly.

Maybe Tian Cuiying felt that her actions had attracted her attention, but she held her hand even tighter.

"Captain, everyone has their own responsibilities. You can punish me by making me clean the pigpen, but you can't make Linlin do the work too!"

She puffed out her chest and argued, not feeling that there was anything wrong with her words.

Luo Linlin's heart was almost broken into pieces. Her smile was uglier than her crying, but she couldn't help but pretend to be a loving sister in front of everyone.

"Xiaoying, don't say that. We are good friends. Besides, this is also my fault..."

The team leader was almost amused by this scene. When did he ever say that he wanted Luo Zhiqing to go and sweep the pigpen together?

"Okay, okay, then you two should go and sweep the pigpen together."

Now that it has been proposed, he can't refuse.

She cursed in her heart a thousand times, but she still had to smile on her face. This time, Luo Linlin really lost both the wife and the army. She hated Tan Yuan very much in her heart, but she didn't dare to show it.

The captain didn't have time to care about their little tricks. He was still thinking about what Tan Yuan wanted to talk to him about.

After sending all the educated youth who were surrounding them away, only the team leader and Tan Yuan were left.

The team leader had really helped her a lot, so Tan Yuan didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point and said what she wanted to say.

It would be too troublesome to carve a road down the mountain. This is a cliff, not anything else, that’s what Tan Yuan thought.

First, send some people down the rope and let them dig sweet potatoes in the field.

Then some people were asked to be responsible for transportation, carrying the baskets full of sweet potatoes to the edge of the cliff and then lifting them up with ropes.

This is troublesome, but it can save a lot of time and energy.

After all, there are only a limited number of sweet potatoes at the bottom of the cliff, and it will only take three or four days at most to prepare them.

"Hmm...that's a good idea."

The captain agreed and said that they had the wrong idea at that time, and it was not their fault. It was mainly because the Huaiyin Brigade had been like this since ancient times.

Wherever you want to go, just send people to build the road. If you don’t have time or manpower, find a way. They have both time and patience.

Because of this, there is a road from Huaiyin Brigade to Shuwaizi Brigade that can accommodate tractors. Not only to Shuwaizi Brigade, but also to the commune and the county.

These are all earned through the hard work of their ancestors.

Simple and crude, yet surprisingly effective.

When Tan Yuan pointed this out, he remembered that there was such a time-saving and labor-saving method. It only required a few thousand kilograms of sweet potatoes, and there was no need to build a separate road.

Tan Yuan thought about it, and thought about the situation in the second year of her previous life when the brigade’s food was eaten by locusts, and she said a few more words.

After these large numbers of locusts come, they will inevitably leave insect eggs in the fields. When the crops are ripe the following year, they will come back to destroy the crops in the fields.

No matter how good the harvest is this year, it won’t be that good. We have to take advantage of now and kill the locust eggs in the ground.

Since ancient times, there have been ways to deal with locusts after they pass through. The rice stalks in the field are burned on the spot, and then the remaining ashes of the burned rice stalks are buried in the ground.

Doing so can eliminate some pest eggs in the ground and make the soil more fertile.

The most important point is that the wheat that was originally intended to be planted should not be planted and other crops should be planted instead.

The locusts have been here for a year, and no one knows whether they will come back next year. Even Tan Yuan, a reborn person, dare not guarantee it. All they can do now is to minimize the losses.

Locusts eat crops such as corn, wheat, sorghum, and rice, but they do not eat soybeans and rapeseed.

The Huaiyin Brigade has always been like other brigades, mainly growing wheat and rice, and they can also make changes at this critical moment.

"Our brigade doesn't need to plant winter wheat this year. We can plant some rapeseed instead. Rapeseed can be used to make oil. We can negotiate with the commune and still pay the public grain tax."

We have to ask the commune for rapeseed seeds. Our brigade has been hit by locusts. I won’t say anything else. We don’t ask the commune to allocate grain, nor do we ask the commune to reduce the amount of public grain our brigade has to pay this year. So, can you give us some rapeseed seeds?

How about changing it to vegetable oil when paying public grain next year?

Tan Yuan did not hide anything and spoke out everything that was in her heart.

After saying so many words, Tan Yuan's mouth was a little dry. Her eyes were not in good condition, so her hands were groping around the bed.

"this!"

The team leader handed the water jar to Tan Yuan.

He was completely impressed by the educated youth who had just arrived.

It's not that he looks down on people, but mainly because when other educated youth first went to the countryside, they didn't know what crops to plant in which season, and they probably couldn't even recognize what rice, wheat, soybeans... looked like.

He never expected that Tan Yuan not only knew them all, but also could sit here and talk to him so clearly.

"Captain?"

After not hearing a response for a long time, Tan Yuan asked again. She had no idea that she had almost revealed her little secret without realizing it.
