"Really? Can it really be converted into grain?" The gray-haired old man shook his body excitedly.
If a young boy hadn't caught him, he would have fallen.
"How much? How to change?" someone asked impatiently.
"Will it be available soon?" The man's tone was very anxious.
"If that's the case, then we'll start clearing the land tomorrow."
"The team will start reclaiming the land tomorrow. Our family can provide five laborers." Three male laborers and two female laborers.
Whether spring wheat and early rice can be grown is not something they can decide.
However, if they can earn food by planting spring wheat and early rice, why don't they?
Only a fool would not go if he could get food.
Xu Qiang led everyone to open up wasteland. Not only could they not have a meal, they didn't even have air to eat.
I can only go home and eat my own food.
Normally, the production team should provide a meal when carrying out construction work.
But Xu Qiang said that the team was in difficulty, with a large population, and needed a large number of people to cook, which delayed production, so...
The team did not provide lunch.
Of course, there is no so-called grain conversion.
What He Yuzhu meant was, can we provide food for the team by engaging in production?
Is that what you mean?
But Xu Qiang said no?
So is it Xu Qiang who is behind this?
At this moment, Xu Qiang was sweating profusely because he was the one who took the food.
I used it to supplement my family.
Even... secretly sold it.
Just when he prayed that no one would remember, what he feared came true.
"Xu Qiang, you spread out our food?" The man glared at Xu Qiang angrily with his clenched fists.
Seeing this, Li Lanhua shrank her shoulders in fear and hid behind Xu Qiang.
Xu Qiang glanced at her with disdain. He pretended to be calm and said, "Don't let your imagination run wild and don't let others instigate you to believe everything you hear."
"We would never do such a thing, this is extremely bad behavior."
"I haven't lived enough. I want to live a little longer and won't do anything to seek my own death."
"But..." The man wanted to continue speaking, but was stopped by the people around him.
"The policies I've come across are that for the construction work in the team, either a lunch is provided or the money is converted into food and distributed to those participating in production." He Yuzhu explained the policy openly.
On the other hand, Xu Qiang was angry and annoyed after hearing this. He was angry at the man for not knowing what was good for him and for taking advantage of his misfortune.
He Yuzhu...is simply a piece of shit.
Just as Xu Qiang was anxiously trying to think of a solution, everyone was already staring at him with murderous eyes.
Everyone must ask Xu Qiang to give him an explanation.
But...anxious and worried cries for help were heard from the crowd.
"Grandma, what happened to you?" Xu Yangping held Grandma Xu's head and shouted for help, "Dad, Mom, Grandma fainted."
"Grandpa, Grandpa, what's wrong with you?" Xu Yanghua shouted.
"Dad, Mom, come here quickly, Grandpa and grandma have fainted." Xu Yanghua and Xu Yangping shouted helplessly six times.
Xu Qiang and Li Lanhua looked at each other and immediately walked towards Xu Ping.
Zhang Xuqiang walked through the crowd and came to Xu Yangping's brothers, and saw the unconscious Mrs. Xu and Old Man Xu.
He was so disappointed that he yelled at the two brothers, "Why don't you two go to the village clinic with your grandparents? You are so tall and strong, but you can't even handle such a small matter. You are wasting your brains."
Xu Qiang spoke and gave instructions as the two brothers carried the old couple on their backs towards the village bathroom.
With the departure of Xu Qiang and others, the crusade that was originally intended was stuck in the throat.
Human lives are at stake, so how could they dare to obstruct or even waste time?
and so……
Xu Qiang was greedy for their food, but this was cut off abruptly.
He Yuzhu smiled faintly, "The people are in the village, they can't run away, they must explain clearly what they should do."
“I always believe that if you don’t want others to know, then don’t do it yourself.”
"If my uncle really did something to let everyone down, He Yuzhu and my wife would definitely kill our own relatives for the sake of justice."
"Give everyone an explanation."
He Yuzhu gave everyone a reassurance at the right time.
His words calmed everyone's uneasy hearts, and He Yuzhu took advantage of the victory and asked for the planting of spring wheat and early rice.
How to exchange food?
The first purpose is to reclaim land, followed by planting spring wheat and early rice.
"With such a bad geographical environment, how do we store water? How do we grow spring wheat and early rice?" Grandpa Baihua pointed out the problem directly.
He Yuzhu: "I plan to build terraces."
"Terraces?" Grandpa Baihua was confused. "From low to high, like stairs?"
He Yuzhu nodded, "Yes, from low to high can solve the water storage problem and prevent water loss..."
……
He Yuzhu explained the principles of terraced fields in detail.
I gave a brief talk about the plans for land reclamation and planting.
Because everyone was very curious about the advance, they kept asking He Yuzhu questions.
There are also issues regarding seeds and planting techniques.
Land reclamation presents the problem of terraced fields.
As we asked more and more questions, more and more questions came.
Two hours later, Kezhu hurriedly ended the discussion.
"Now that the direction and goal have been clarified, we will start the reclamation tomorrow according to my plan."
"As long as you follow my plan, I guarantee that both spring wheat and early rice can be grown."
"As long as spring wheat and early rice are planted, everyone will get more food. With more food, people won't have to go hungry anymore."
"Then we will have enough food and clothing."
"Our main goal right now is to solve the problem of food and clothing."
"And I, He Yuzhu, promise you that I will solve this problem."
"As long as you believe in me and follow me unswervingly, I guarantee that you will have enough to eat."
He Yuzhu thought that not only would he be able to have enough food to eat, but he would also be able to eat meat in the future.
In addition to growing spring wheat, rice and corn, He Yuzhu also wants to grow medicinal herbs.
There are already a lot of medicinal herbs piled up in his space, and he has to find ways to cash them out. Only by realizing the value of the medicinal herbs can they be useful.
Ugh!
We have food and medicinal herbs, but we can’t sell them or eat them. It’s really... too painful.
"Is what Cao Juan said about your plan to build a factory true?" Just as everyone was about to go home, someone asked a question that had long been ignored.
He Yuzhu paused and turned to look at the source of the sound. It was a young man in his 20s. He was not tall, with deep eye sockets and a big frame, but there was no flesh, only skin and bones.
It’s obvious at first glance that it’s malnutrition caused by not eating enough.
But even so, his mental state is much better at this moment.
Because there is light in his eyes, expectation, hope and passion.
He Yuzhu met his expectant eyes and nodded solemnly, "Yes, our brigade has so many people, and we plan to build a factory in the village."
"Build a factory? Become a worker? Will there be wages and coupons?" the young man asked.
Farmers did not have coupons, only people in units and workers in factories had coupons.
If farmers wanted coupons, they would exchange them for grain from the production team.
In other words, only food can be exchanged for tickets.
There was not enough food, and there was no extra food to exchange for coupons, but they had to use meat coupons to buy meat, so it was not that they did not want to eat meat, but that they simply could not afford it and could not buy it.
