Rebirth 78 was replaced by a husband, the cold educated youth pulled the curtains every day

Hearing Su Mengyao's words, Lu Ye shook his head and muttered softly: "I'm free."

"I want you to take care of it!"

Su Mengyao turned around and glared at Lu Ye fiercely.

"Okay, I don't care. I'll go over there and take a look."

After Lu Ye finished speaking, he stood up and walked towards the project team members who were sorting soil samples in the yard.

Today, these people are the ones who have the hardest time. Not only do they have to walk on difficult roads, but they also have to carry the detection tools and the soil samples they have collected.

Without a good physique, you really can't do their job.

"How are things going? When can we get the results of the soil sample tests?"

"Mr. Lu, the soil samples we collected today are all very good, but the conditions here are limited. The minerals and organic matter in the soil need to be taken back for testing. Right now, we can only do the simplest acid-base test."

"Well, this is the result of the acid-base indicator test I just performed."

The man took out a few colored test papers and showed them to Lu Ye.

The pH value of the black soil here is between 6.5 and 7.0, which is slightly acidic to neutral. Such land is most suitable for growing crops such as rice, soybeans and corn.

Lu Ye didn't know much about the so-called soil acidity and alkalinity, but as a former farmer, Lu Ye found that what the researcher said actually coincided with the crops planted in their rural area every year.

Rice, soybeans, and corn are indeed the three most widely grown crops here.

Farmers don’t understand what pH is, they just grow crops based on experience.

Experienced production team leaders almost always know what to plant on a piece of land to make it grow well and produce the most grain.

Lu Ye looked at the test papers and returned them.

"These things can only be understood by professionals like you. I don't quite understand them."

"Once you've packed up, go back and rest. We'll continue tomorrow." Lu Ye reminded.

"okay."

The man also smiled, then continued to lower his head to sort out the soil samples.

He stayed at the brigade headquarters for a while until the sun set, then Lu Ye left and returned to Old Man Zhao's home.

The huge yard was quiet and the house was pitch black.

Lu Ye walked into the yard and saw a figure sitting under the windowsill in the moonlight.

It was not until he got closer that Lu Ye saw clearly that the figure was none other than Old Man Zhao.

"Uncle, why are you sitting here?"

"It's cool outside." Old man Zhao said with a smile.

Lu Ye took out another cigarette and gave one to Old Man Zhao.

"Uncle, smoke."

"Oh..." This time, Old Man Zhao did not refuse and happily took the cigarette given by Lu Ye.

The two of them sat in the yard under the moonlight, smoking.

"I heard from the young men in the village that you guys have been digging in the fields all day."

"How do you guys like it?"

There are no secrets in the countryside. After returning to the village, the villagers who served as guides for the project team told everyone what happened today.

Old Man Zhao also heard this, but he couldn't understand what these city people were digging for.

Lu Ye laughed:

"So far, it's looking pretty good. Those Hong Kong businessmen are very meticulous in their work. They dig up the soil to take back for testing. That way, we'll know if the land here is suitable for growing crops and what crops will yield the highest yields."

"Then, based on the characteristics of the land here, we can plan a special planting plan in advance and mix fertilizers and pesticides. This will not only increase the yield, but we can even calculate the yield of this land in advance."

When Old Man Zhao heard what Lu Ye said, he felt that what he said was really mysterious.

When farmers plant crops, the harvest depends entirely on weather. After they sow the seeds, if the rain is too heavy or too little, it won’t work either.

The output can be calculated in advance, which is completely beyond Old Man Zhao's understanding.

"So powerful?"

"Uncle, this is called science. But I only know the general idea. I'm not very clear about the specifics. It requires professionals to explain it clearly."

"Wow, I've been farming all my life, but this is the first time I've heard that there is so much knowledge involved." Old Man Zhao said in surprise.

The lights in the house came on when I heard the voices outside.

Zhao Shanxing came to the yard carrying a kerosene lamp.

"You're back. This lamp is for you."

If Lu Ye didn't come back, their family would not even use kerosene lamps.

"What about you?" Lu Ye asked.

"We're going to sleep now, so we won't need it," Zhao Shanxing replied. Then, she turned to her father and said, "Dad, go to bed right after you finish smoking. You still have to go to the fields tomorrow."

"I understand. I'll go in right away." Old Man Zhao responded.

He took two puffs and smoked the last bit of the cigarette, then threw the butt on the ground and stomped it out with his foot.

Holding a kerosene lamp, Lu Ye and Old Man Zhao entered the house together. After Old Man Zhao entered the east room, Lu Ye carried the lamp and entered the west room.

There was a washbasin on the table with hot water in it, which was obviously specially prepared for him.

Under the kang, the wooden basin where he soaked his feet yesterday was also filled with hot water.

Even the bedding on the kang was laid out neatly.

Seeing this, Lu Ye couldn't help but look towards the east room. Although he couldn't see anything, Lu Ye was still full of gratitude.

These simple rural people interpret what hospitality is in their own way.

After a simple wash, Lu Ye warmed his feet again comfortably.

Without making any big noise, Lu Ye poured the water and then lay down in bed.

After a night.

The technicians of the project team once again took their tools and walked into the land to be cultivated under the guidance of a guide.

Great Northern Wilderness.

These three simple words contain three different meanings.

The first is North, which refers to its northernmost location in China.

Big refers to the vast land here.

The last word "desolate" refers to what Lu Ye and his companions saw at this moment. There were wild grass and trees everywhere, and it looked 100% original.

Millions of educated youth once developed the Great Northern Wilderness with great enthusiasm. They cultivated and guarded the border on this land, creating one beautiful story after another.

For many people, it was an extraordinary memory.

Today, Lu Ye and his team stand on this vast land and will cultivate this land in a new way.

"There's a forest over there. Let's go there and take a rest." Shu Wen suggested.

After walking out for a whole morning, everyone was a little tired.

"Okay, I'm a little tired too." Su Mengyao responded very readily.

The two women walked laboriously on the meadow, and every few steps they would knock on the grass in front of them with the sticks in their hands.
