Quick Transmigration: Cannon Fodder Female Supporting Character Reaches the Pinnacle of Life

When the old man saw the clear water in the well, tears instantly streamed down his face. They were crying tears of joy, thinking: There is always a way out.

Seeing the elderly people shedding tears, some of the easily moved young soldiers also wiped away their own tears.

They were also worried about their families back home, but their duties prevented them from going back to check on them.

We can only pin our hopes on Qiu Tong, hoping that she can develop this drought-resistant rice as soon as possible so that her family in her hometown can also eat this rice.

Qiu Tong knew that the drought-resistant rice would definitely succeed, it just needed time.

Qiu Tong generously cultivated all the seeds into seedlings, which made everyone tremble with fear, thinking that if it failed, all these seeds would be wasted.

Duo Duo didn't care what they thought; time would tell.

Everyone endured the difficult rice growing season, during which Qiu Tong also tried planting several drought-resistant crops.

Eggplant, tomato, potato, okra, cassava, sweet potato, etc. are drought-resistant and easy to grow.

Except for okra, which currently has no seeds, all other crops have obtained some seeds through national channels.

She also specifically instructed Wang Shaoyu to notify the higher-ups to send more people to find cassava and other tuber crops, as she planned to plant these crops that could both fill the stomach and withstand drought.

There are plenty of cassava plants on the mountains; you can find them by searching in the mountainous areas where the disaster is not yet severe.

Eggplant, tomatoes, potatoes, and sweet potatoes are grown by many farmers, and these seeds are easy to find.

Qiu Tong also tried planting several plots of land with crops such as millet, sorghum, and corn.

She unreservedly shared the knowledge she had gained from Xiao Fu with the elderly in Caihua Village.

These technologies are not patented technologies, and in fact, they will need to be popularized throughout the country in the future.

Teaching the elderly to learn now is also a way to popularize relevant knowledge among the public in advance.

Seeing Qiu Tong's selfless dedication, Wang Shaoyu's gaze softened even more as he looked at her.

Standing next to him, Qiao Youming chuckled when he saw Yu Ge's eyes.

When Wang Shaoyu turned to look at him, he pretended nothing had happened, looked up at the sky, and dared not meet Wang Shaoyu's gaze.

Qiu Tong's drought-resistant rice and drought-tolerant crops were growing very well, so she asked Wang Shaoyu to go to the commune in the county town to send her research report so far back to Beijing.

We urge our superiors to quickly implement the matters she mentioned in most parts of the country.

They also applied to relevant government departments to have them bring in professional geologists to search for areas deep underground with groundwater and dig deep wells.

The state should be responsible for controlling the supply of these wells and providing them to the people in fixed quantities every day. This will prevent refugees from looting the water.

It can also prevent the drilling of numerous deep wells, thus saving those areas from desertification in the future.

The state should also promulgate laws regarding well drilling, and anyone found drilling wells without authorization will be punished accordingly.

We also need to educate the people in each region about the dangers of excessive groundwater extraction, making them aware of the consequences.

In this way, people can supervise each other. If someone discovers that someone has dug a well without permission, they can report it to the commune, and the commune can then arrange to take away the person who violated the rules. This will reduce the number of violators.

Some areas are coastal typhoon-prone regions, and these drought-resistant crops are not suitable for cultivation there.

Qiutong already has a solution; the next step is to find suitable crops for planting in typhoon-prone areas.

Qiu Tong also needs to personally visit those areas to conduct on-site investigations before she can formulate a detailed plan.

She had already planned that once this batch of crops was harvested, she would immediately set off for the coastal region to implement her next plan.

Time was of the essence; she had to quickly develop suitable crops and planting methods for each region before large numbers of people starved to death.

She also mentioned the South-to-North Water Diversion Project, which she had considered. It would allow water-rich areas to transport clean water by train to water-scarce areas across the country, thus temporarily alleviating the situation in some severely drought-stricken areas.

Putting aside the issue of planting, people don't even have water to drink; they're dying of thirst.

At this stage, we must prioritize people's needs and solve their water problems first.

The cost of transporting water by train was too high, and it was difficult to implement under the conditions of that era.

In fact, we could start building water transport channels now to deliver water to arid northern regions.

This project is quite large and will take many years to complete.

Moreover, current technology is insufficient to complete this project.

Sigh, let's solve the problem of food and clothing for the people first, and discuss these things later, Qiu Tong thought helplessly.

However, even if this plan is not implemented now, it will be implemented sooner or later in the future, so it is better to propose this plan now and lay the groundwork for the future.

Wang Shaoyu knew that what Qiu Tong was talking about was very important, concerning the food and clothing of the people across the country, but he was still very reluctant to part with her.

He didn't want to be away from Qiu Tong for so long; it would take three days to travel from Caihua Village to the county town and back.

Having not seen Qiu Tong for so long, Wang Shaoyu already missed her even before he left.

Qiu Tong didn't care what he thought; after giving her instructions, she continued with her work.

She had a lot of things to do and no time to continue chatting.

The clueless Qiu Tong, no matter which dimension she's in, is always focused on her work and only does what's in front of her.

She remains as oblivious as ever to other people's feelings for her.

Wang Shaoyu almost laughed out of anger at Qiu Tong's carefree attitude.

He was reluctant to leave, but she acted as if nothing had happened, not caring at all.

However, in order to return as soon as possible, he chose to set off immediately.

When he acts alone, he will be much faster than when there is a large group of them.

During Wang Shaoyu's absence, two major events occurred in Caihua Village.

Firstly, the planted sweet potatoes have already been harvested. The sweet potatoes underground can not only be stored as food for a long time, but can also produce fruit again in a short period of time.

The green leaves on the ground can also be stir-fried and eaten. It is also a drought-resistant crop, suitable for planting in many arid regions.

The reason it yielded results so quickly was that Qiu Tong added some wood ash to the soil, which is a natural fertilizer.

If the top dressing has sufficient fertility, the crops will naturally grow well.

Secondly, the people from Tangjia Village somehow found their way back; they were villagers who had fled the famine with this village.

Aunt Yang and her family were lucky to meet the villagers of Caihua Village. These villagers found it even harder to survive outside, so they all returned to Caihua Village.

The homeowner accused Qiu Tong and her group of seizing his house. The people of Tangjia Village resented Qiu Tong for abandoning them and running away, and they all added fuel to the fire by slandering her.

In the end, they were stopped by the village elders who rushed over, and they did not start fighting.

At the old man's urging, the residents of Caihua Village who had returned gave up their houses near the well to Qiu Tong and the soldiers.

The villagers of Caihua Village had been wandering outside for a while and knew the harsh reality of having no water or food in the outside world, so they naturally understood how precious the water in their village was now.

But as the village elders say, this water is not only everyone's hope, but also an important source of irrigation for the crops in the fields.

Having experienced periods of water and food scarcity, the villagers cherish food and water resources even more.

When the villagers of Caihua Village returned to their village, they learned that Qiu Tong and his group were government officials who had stayed in Caihua Village to conduct research on new crops. The villagers immediately went from being indignant to being respectful and polite.

Aunt Yang and several other women who had a lot of opinions about Qiu Tong still harbored a great deal of hostility towards her, regardless of what contributions she had made.

For them, nothing they said mattered since they didn't gain any real benefit.

Aunt Yang even curled her lip in disdain and muttered under her breath, "That sounds nice, but it's still just encroaching on someone else's house."

I don't know if she said that on purpose to seize someone else's house, or if the things she grows are the result of her research.

I feel like the older folks in the village are the ones who can really research these new crops.

When Shu Yi saw Qiu Tong, she started looking around, hoping to see Wang Shaoyu again.

She blamed Qiu Tong for Wang Shaoyu's mistake of abandoning them.

However, she became smarter and hid her malice towards Qiu Tong.

She already has so many aunts around her who dislike Qiu Tong, why would she need to deal with them personally?

If Shu Yi just slightly instigates these aunties, someone will help her deal with Qiu Tong. All she has to do is sit back and reap the benefits in the end.

The most important thing now is to find Battalion Commander Wang and cultivate a good relationship with him.

I believe that a woman as outstanding as me will definitely be able to impress Battalion Commander Wang.

As Shu Yi searched for Wang Shaoyu, she fantasized in her mind.

With so many more people in the village, water supply has naturally become scarce again.

The water that was originally enough for Qiu Tong and her group, as well as the old man, was mostly divided up by these people.

Water usage in the fields cannot be reduced, otherwise crops may suffer reduced yields due to water shortage.

Therefore, the water that can be divided up can only be shared equally among Qiu Tong and the others' daily water usage.

Life became difficult again. The villagers from Tangjia Village who came over encouraged the simple villagers from Caihua Village to dig a few wells in their own homes so that they would no longer be dependent on Qiu Tong and the others for water.

Actually, they wanted a larger share of the water, but since they weren't from the village, they had no say.

If the number of wells increases, they can ask those who have wells at home for more water.

When Qiu Tong learned of this, she immediately asked the village elders to gather all the villagers and educate them about the drawbacks of excessive well digging.

If they don't want their homeland to gradually become desertified in the future, then they certainly won't want to dig new wells.

Sure enough, after Qiu Tong finished speaking, the villagers who had been eagerly anticipating the idea immediately gave up.
