Daily life of female supporting actresses in the 1970s
Chapter 146 Lin Shaoyang Wants to Plant Rice
A week after the incident with Village Chief Zhao's family, Wang Lanhua, Zhao Guixiang and Zhao Guiquan were all released!
They also didn't know what was happening to Village Chief Zhao.
Zhao Guiquan turned a disaster into a blessing. He had previously severed ties with his family by publishing an advertisement in the newspaper out of spite, and he was also very poor and had just received one month's salary.
Because he had some ability, the factory did not fire him and allowed him to continue in his original position.
But when he thought about how he had handed over his salary for many years, and now only had more than 700 yuan left, which was taken away by the Red Committee.
Now that he said that the money was to be used to compensate his father for the stolen money, Zhao Guiquan felt a sense of alienation towards Wang Lanhua.
They did not move back to the Zhao family, but as Village Chief Zhao said, the Li family’s house was small and could not accommodate so many people.
It's okay if it's just a short time, but if it goes on for a long time, even if his brother-in-law and his wife don't say anything, Zhao Guiquan himself will feel uncomfortable.
It is absolutely impossible to go back to the Zhao family. Even if there is no estrangement between me and my family, I cannot go back to live there to avoid suspicion.
Build a house? They have no money, and it’s freezing cold, so they can’t build one.
In the end, the couple both thought of the cellar where Yuan Yixiuan lived.
Yuan Yixiuan is crazy now. She doesn't live in the cellar, but lives in the home of old lady Yang who takes care of her. The cellar is empty.
Given their current situation, living in the cellar is just right for them. Besides, the place is remote and no one will pay attention to them all the time.
So they went to discuss with the village cadres, although everyone hated Village Chief Zhao for embezzling so much money from the village.
But after all, the people in this village are all relatives, so they have to consider the Buddha's favor instead of the monk's.
What's more, the commune has not convicted Zhao Guiquan, and the factory has not fired him. Naturally, no one will convict him privately, nor will they make things difficult for Zhao Guiquan!
After getting Yuan Yixuan's consent, Zhao Guiquan and others were allowed to move there. Several village cadres also went to Zhao's house to take away food rations for Li Ying and her son.
Wang Lanhua knew that Zhao Guiquan and the others might be in trouble if they lived with them, so she gave the food rations to Li Ying and her son without saying anything.
The main reason was that she didn't care about Zhao Guiquan, so naturally she didn't know that Zhao Guiquan had not been fired.
Zhao Guiquan is not like Yuan Yixiuan and the others who have a problem with their background.
Before moving in, they specially hired someone to renovate the house and build a kang and a stove.
The family then reluctantly moved there.
Tractors were already plowing the fields before the ground had completely thawed. Hundreds of acres of land could be plowed a day. Only a few corners could not be plowed, so some people were assigned to plow the fields manually.
As for the others, some went to cut the corn stalks that were not cut due to the snow last year, and some went to build roads so that tractors could drive up the mountain to plow the fields.
As a result, on the first day of work, the educated youth heard shocking news.
Lin Shaoyang actually took the initiative to volunteer to the village and take the educated youth to transform the low-lying land in the village into paddy fields to grow rice!
There is a low-lying land near the river in the village. When it was reclaimed, the problem of flooding was not considered. After the reclamation, it was discovered that there were floods almost every year, and nine out of ten years were flooded.
No matter what crops I plant, I don’t get a good harvest, but I can’t bear to let them go to waste.
Now Lin Shaoyang suggested using that low-lying land to try and grow rice, and said that this is called "using rice to control flooding"!
Even if it weren't for the tractor's sake, the team leader was eager to get rid of the land as soon as possible, not to mention that Lin Shaoyang also took the initiative to suggest that they bear the profits and losses themselves.
Several village cadres were so happy that they almost set off firecrackers to celebrate, and immediately appointed Lin Shaoyang as the captain of the fourth team.
Several hardworking and capable people were also arranged to help, forming a new production team 4.
Except for Qiao Lei and Gu Qingqing, the other female educated youth disliked Lin Shaoyang and even had some hostility towards him.
Putting aside the question of whether growing rice is feasible or not, just the act of planting rice in water is a huge challenge for the female educated youth.
The temperature here was still very low when we were transplanting rice seedlings, and the water was very cold. Even if we wore water shoes, it was still uncomfortable to keep our hands in the water.
Qiao Lei and Gu Qingqing were teachers, so naturally they didn't have to work in the fields. They also had no idea about the hardships of other educated youth. They even thought Lin Shaoyang was quite courageous.
People in later generations all know that Northeast rice is good. The rice produced on the black soil not only has high yield and good quality, but also has excellent benefits.
The fertile soil and suitable climatic conditions of the Northeast black soil provide an excellent environment for rice growth. Rice here will definitely grow well and abundantly, achieving high yield and high quality.
But now the main crops here are wheat, soybeans and corn, and they have never seen anyone growing rice.
If this succeeds, Lin Shaoyang will have made a great contribution and can just lie back and enjoy the fruits of his contribution.
This made Qiao Lei feel even more that Lin Shaoyang just wanted to achieve some results in order to compete for the position of brigade secretary.
She also became more enthusiastic towards Lin Shaoyang. Regardless of whether Lin Shaoyang wanted to compete for the position of brigade secretary, making friends with someone like him who had a good family background and ability would definitely be beneficial and not harmful.
So Qiao Lei not only got Lin Shaoyang a hundred kilograms of space for rice seeds, but also often cooked fish for Lin Shaoyang and others.
Qiao Lei is now a well-known fishing expert in the village. Every time she goes fishing, she always catches a lot.
And now, anyone who goes to a place with water bubbles and rivers can get something, it can be said to be picking fish.
Moreover, Qiao Lei can pick wild vegetables that others cannot, so there is always fresh food to send to Lin Shaoyang and others.
There are many kinds of fish, such as boiled, steamed, braised, stewed...
The title also changed from Captain Lin Shaoyang to Brother Lin.
The male educated youth who ate with Lin Shaoyang were so satisfied that every day when they went to work, they could hear them discussing how great the educated youth Xiao Lin was!
Lin Shaoyang really couldn't understand Qiao Lei's purpose, and even felt that Qiao Lei was interested in him. As soon as he saw Qiao Lei, he ran away, feeling so regretful!
Lin Shaoyang did not start with a small plan. He started by planting 300 acres of land. After arranging everyone to tidy up the fields, he went to apply for various rice seeds.
Not only did he go to the Agricultural Bureau to invite two experts with questionable backgrounds to help, he also went to the rice-growing area in the south of Su Province to find two experienced people to take charge.
Rice seedlings are all grown in greenhouses, and the costs of building the greenhouses are directly allocated by the commune.
Seeing that Lin Shaoyang was doing a good job, the team leader discussed with Lin Shaoyang and arranged for another group of people to come and reclaim another 200 acres of paddy fields along the river.
Nowadays, most people use tractors to plow the land and sow wheat. There is a lot of surplus labor in the village.
The team leader was originally planning to arrange for people to go up the mountain to open up wasteland, but when he saw that Lin Shaoyang had invited experts, the commune also attached great importance to it.
I thought of planting more rice. The land near the river is much more convenient. What’s more, rice is much more fragrant than sweet potatoes!
