Chapter 470 Found a place to grow seedlings
Chapter 470 Found a place to grow seedlings
Liang Xinyue looked up at the sky and said:
"Our region is affected by the monsoon and drought is a characteristic of our area. In the past, we didn't have water and couldn't grow more things."
"But now we have canals. Although this does not guarantee that we can use water as much as we want, basic irrigation is still possible."
Then he turned to look at Xiao Wei and said:
"We need to observe the soil and water of a place. We should not only look at the mud under our feet, but also feel the humidity and temperature in the air."
"I dare say that if it snows, this will be the last place to accumulate snow, but once it accumulates, it will definitely be the last to melt. Isn't that right, Secretary Lin?"
Lin Congkang laughed and said:
"Deputy Director Liang, you can read these things. Don't mention it, I really let you say it. Every winter when it snows, there is basically no snow on this side of the mountain when it snows lightly. Snow will only accumulate when it snows heavily. But after the snow accumulates, the snow outside will melt in two or three days (referring to two or three days), but the snow inside will take at least eight to ten days to melt completely, and it is even colder than outside."
Liang Xinyue nodded and said:
"That's what I mean. Because of the terrain of this valley, the airflow inside is more stable, which means the relative temperature is more stable."
At that time, there was no instrument in the county that could measure humidity, but everyone understood what Liang Xinyue meant.
Liang Xinyue turned to look at Lin Congkang and Yu Jianshe and said:
"The land in this valley is reserved for me. You can organize people to plow the land deeply and then break up the mud. If anyone doesn't understand, send someone to Xinshui Village to find a girl named Ding Shiqing and ask her to teach the people you are going to learn how to plow the land deeply and then break up the mud."
Yu Jianshe immediately wrote it down:
"Don't worry, Deputy Director Liang. I've made note of this. I'll go and learn it myself, and then come back to teach the people in our village how to do it."
Liang Xinyue was really satisfied with this valley. Although Political Commissar Xu told her that she could still use the valley, it belonged to the army and there were so many military wives and families to support.
However, Xinshui Village is not a very good seedling breeding base, it is only suitable for planting experiments.
Seeing such a beautiful valley, Liang Xinyue was moved. She could complete her seedling cultivation business here in the future. Next, the whole county would want the seedlings she cultivated.
Liang Xinyue excitedly asked people to dig out another two feet of mud. Then after careful observation, she nodded:
"Captain Yu, you guys take care of this. Just use this ridge as the boundary and clear out all the land inside. I estimate that we will start growing seedlings here within this month."
Xiao Wei also wrote down these plans.
Liang Xinyue's arrangement gave Yu Jianshe peace of mind. They thought that their village had followed Liang Xinyue's footsteps and reached the current level of Xinshui Village. As long as they got started, they would not be far away.
After leaving this village, they went to the next village. The situation in this village was the same as that of Xinshui Village. Liang Xinyue did some basic investigations and saw that it was still early, so they went to two more villages. They had dinner at a nearby main canal construction site and found a village canteen to share a meal.
Xiao Wei paid for their meals. Except for Xiao Wei who ate one extra steamed bun, the others only had one steamed bun and a bowl of vegetable soup.
When Liang Xinyue and her friends returned home, it was already dark. Dabao and the other children were all waiting on the doorstep. When they saw Liang Xinyue coming, they all shouted happily:
"Aunt! Aunt!"
"Mommy mommy!"
"..."
When it comes to the liveliness of this house, these five children deserve credit; their chattering can be heard every day.
Liang Xinyue sometimes could only sigh when she worked overtime at night, saying that if she wanted to have real peace and quiet at home, she had to wait until they fell asleep.
Every day after they went to sleep, Liang Xinyue could calm down and think about her work arrangements or read a book.
The little ones all know that mom’s hands cannot be used to hug people now, but even if mom can’t hug people, Uncle Wei can.
So Dabao, Xiao Shizhi and the two little ones all rushed towards Xiao Wei.
Dabao didn't make a fuss about asking to be held, he just stood aside. The two younger ones each held one of Uncle Wei's legs, and Xiaobao wanted to climb onto Xiaowei's back.
The final result was that Xiao Wei had one child on his back and one in each hand, and he had to bend over to prevent the child from falling off.
Dabao's role came into play at this time. He walked behind and supported his younger brother who was lying on Uncle Xiao Wei's back.
Xiao Jiajia walked up to Xiaoxue, and Xiaoxue picked her up as usual.
Next, Xiao Jiajia wanted to kiss Liang Xinyue and then Xiaoxue.
This is what Xiao Jiajia does every day. As soon as Liang Xinyue comes back, she kisses her mother. Knowing that her mother cannot hug her, she will not let her mother hug her.
Entering the yard, Liang Jun and Liang's father were busy. Their series of baby chairs and strollers are now very popular in the provincial capital.
Fourteen pieces have been delivered to the provincial capital this month, and now eleven more orders have been received. Liang Xinyue saw that they were very busy, so she stood there and said:
"Brother, why don't you find someone to help you? That way you only need to assemble and draw the lines. It's a bit tiring for Dad to saw alone during the day."
Liang Jun and his wife are living a very smooth life now. They go to work at the armed forces department seriously every day. The couple are hardworking people and they know that this job is not easy to come by, so they clean the entire armed forces department thoroughly.
It is said that in the past, people in each office had to get their own water every day and take the office kettle to the cafeteria to fill it.
But when the Liang army found out, they said to them:
"When you get off work, just put the thermos at the door and I won't enter your office."
In this way, the couple fetched hot water for each office every morning and placed it in a safe place. When the people came to work, they only had to carry the thermos into the office.
This is what Liang Xinyue told her brother, asking them not to enter other people's offices casually, especially when there is only one person in the office or no one else is there.
That is the armed forces department, which contains many secrets. The more you know about a lot of things, the faster you will die.
Liang Jun also understood, and Zhou Xiaoying only listened to Liang Jun. The couple were dutiful and hardworking, and received a lot of praise in the armed forces department.
Last month, the couple earned more than 30 yuan in salary, plus some tickets.
Liang Jun had to give all the money and tickets to Liang Xinyue. He couldn't let his family rely on his sister for food and accommodation here.
Liang Xinyue only accepted the tickets and asked her brother to keep the money:
"Look, I didn't spend much money here. The rice was grown in the valley before, and there are more than 100 kilograms of rice there. Not to mention the vegetables, they sent more than we bought, and we only spent a little money on the meat. The house is our own, why do you think I took your money?"
"You should save your money first. When you have enough, go to the provincial capital and buy a house. When your children grow up and go to college, they will have a place to live. So save your money first."
Liang Jun also put it away. Now, with the baby chairs, their family's monthly income is more than 150 yuan. This makes him feel very hopeful.
Looking at the money he saved, there was nearly a thousand. In fact, most of it was given by his sister in the valley. It was the money given by his sister. It was okay to buy a small yard in this county town, but it was not enough to buy one in the provincial capital.
But the good thing about Liang Jun is that he is willing to listen to advice.
My sister is doing very well in all aspects now. Anyway, it’s right to listen to her. Look at our family now, aren’t our lives getting better and better?
Even Zhou Xiaoying's illness has improved significantly.
At night, Zhou Xiaoying watched the Liang father and son making a baby carriage, so she helped Aunt Li to coax the five children to sleep one by one. After the children fell asleep, she sat aside with the wool, knitting sweaters while accompanying Liang Jun.
It was Liang Xinyue who taught Zhou Xiaoying how to knit sweaters.
Anyway, find something for her to do and let her knit the simple parts. Liang Xinyue will teach her how to cast off stitches or add stitches, but I didn't expect that she is a bit of a genius in this area.
I don't know when she was able to knit her own sleeves.
You should know that knitting sleeves and collars is the most difficult part of knitting a sweater. Sleeves involve adding and reducing stitches.
Liang Xinyue had almost finished knitting all the wool she bought.
Everyone in the family got two pieces, even Yaya and Xiao Er were given two pieces.
While they were busy in the outer yard, Liang Xinyue, Xiao Wei and Xiao Xue were sitting in the study.
Xiaoxue has been reading recently, and Liang Xinyue encouraged her to go to college while she is still young. If she really wants to study medicine, she should pursue this path well.
Especially after seeing Qiu Yue'e's efforts, Guo Xiaoxue really took it to heart. When she went to the post office to call Mrs. Guo, she also told her aunt about it.
Mrs. Guo also agreed:
"Xiaoxue, I was originally wondering why your uncle abandoned you to the countryside, but now it seems that Comrade Liang is not bad. He has a good vision and is very motivated. If you follow a comrade like him, you will know how to work hard. Your aunt also supports you. Read more books when you have time. If there is a chance, I will see if I can recommend you to go to university."
Commander Guo, who was also sitting and listening, immediately made a suggestion:
"You have to study hard on your own. Our family doesn't recommend it. Don't think of asking me to do these things. Tell Xiaoxue to work hard on her own. Opportunities always come to those who are prepared."
Guo Xiaoxue was not annoyed by her uncle's words and said with a smile:
"I know, uncle. Sister Liang said the same thing as you did. She also said that opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared."
Liang Xinyue was busy making some changes to the plan.
Some seedlings were grown in Xinshui Village, and some in the valleys over there. But now there is a better place, that is the big valley in Shibalipo Village. This is the best news Liang Xinyue got from her visit.
She had to write down some plans for the seedlings overnight. But her hands were really not good, and it would hurt after writing for a long time. At this time, Liang Xinyue began to blame the Zhou family mother and son who hurt her.
The next morning, Liang Xinyue had planned to find Director Ye to get some more materials for the greenhouse. Just as she made a phone call and was about to go to the countryside again, Director Ren stopped her:
"Xiao Liang, I actually did what you asked me to do in the city yesterday."
Liang Xinyue was stunned for a moment, and Director Ren said happily:
"There is still some grassland in a small part of our county, and the Municipal Animal Husbandry Bureau asked us if we wanted to raise some sheep. I think it's feasible."
That piece of grassland is not big. In fact, it is a small corner of the county. The county, Ak County, is a county that focuses on animal husbandry, and people there raise a large number of cattle and sheep.
Liang Xinyue nodded and said:
"What we are asking for is for our rural areas to develop in a diversified way. Just think about it, every time we develop an industry, it may solve the livelihood problems of dozens or even hundreds of people."
"We need to solve the problem of survival first, and then choose a few industries that can be expanded and strengthened to develop, so that our county can have its own leading products and leading enterprises. In that way, we will have stable tax revenue, solve the financial problems, and improve people's lives and production."
Director Ren raised his hand and pointed at Liang Xinyue with a smile:
"I said, you are a person with great vision, you know that? Yesterday, a leader from the city met with me and the county magistrate privately and put forward the same opinion as you. The county magistrate and I thought that this idea was very much to our liking."
Director Ren said without hesitation:
"Come on, come on, come with me to the county party committee today to discuss this year's winter with the county governor and others. I now think it would be a good idea to listen to your opinions when making these important decisions."
Liang Xinyue thought for a moment and said:
"Then wait a moment. I have two things to tell Xiao Wei."
Liang Xinyue asked Xiao Wei to check out the situation in Xinshui Village and Daoliang Village, follow up on their progress, and tell them what Daoliang Village would do next.
Then I followed Director Ren to the county party committee.
When County Magistrate Chen saw Director Ren and Liang Xinyue coming over, he also remembered that Director Ren mentioned in the car yesterday that it was Liang Xinyue's idea to go to the Animal Husbandry Bureau, so he hurriedly called out:
"Xiao Liang, come on, let's discuss something."
Then, County Magistrate Chen called his secretary:
"Go and notify Director Shen to come."
Director Shen is the director of the Animal Husbandry Bureau of Xihuai County.
But in fact, the animal husbandry in Xihuai is not very good, mainly because there is not much grass growing on the land here. It is impossible to raise cattle and sheep.
Liang Xinyue and the others talked for a while about the meeting they had in the city yesterday. County Chief Chen was smiling happily the whole time:
"Xiao Liang, our county was praised yesterday. This is inseparable from your contribution."
Liang Xinyue said hurriedly:
"County magistrate, please stop talking. The best I can do is grow some vegetables. I'm really not capable of anything else. Don't praise me too much, or I'll fall badly."
