Chapter 79: Opening up wasteland to grow vegetables, the captain burst into tears

Ding Yanyu and Wen Lei took a shower and sat in the room chatting. Yuan Yuan stuck his little head into the room, and Wen Lei waved him in.

"I haven't seen you except for dinner these past few days. Why did you go there? Did you remember to drink milk powder in the morning and at night?"

"After drinking, I went to catch lobsters after work at noon. After work at night, I went to build a house with my second brother and the others."

Wen Lei and Ding Yanyu looked at each other and felt a little embarrassed. They should go straight from work to clearing land and planting vegetables, and supervise the progress of building houses.

Yuan Yuan's words made the two of them embarrassed, and they continued to sit in the room and talk.

After sweeping up the melon seed shells on the ground, the two hurried to the place where the house was built. When they arrived at the place, they saw three people digging the ground with shovels. Yuan Yuan also ran over with a basket on his back.

"Sister, why can't you hear me when I call you?"

"Why did you come here? Didn't I let you play by yourself?" Wen Lei helped Yuan Yuan take off the backpack and stuffed a piece of candy into his mouth.

"I'm picking up pigweed!" Yuan Yuan said and went to hug the pigweed cut from the wasteland.

Wen Lei walked up to Yuan Jian, took the shovel from his hand, and asked him to clear the bushes. With Congcong's help using her mind, and her great strength, Wen Lei dug and turned over the soil very quickly. The few people watching were stunned. Several villagers who built houses even praised them in various ways.

Gu Chen and Xiao Qing broke out in cold sweat. They looked at each other and dug and turned over the soil desperately, regardless of their fatigue.

Ding Yanyu and Yuan Jian cut the grass, and Yuan Yuan picked out the grass roots from the land that Wen Lei, Xiao Qing, and Gu Chen plowed.

After working for a while, everyone went back to eat, and Wen Lei picked up a basket of purslane.

Back at the educated youth spot, Wen Lei saw that there were old pumpkins and old beans on the dining table, so she poured a bucket of water into the pot, asked Ding Yanyu to light the fire, and went to clean the purslane herself.

Wen Lei cleaned it very quickly, after all, she secretly let Cong Cong clean it. Before Ding Yanyu's water was boiled, she came in with purslane. On the table next to the earthen stove, there are onions, ginger and garlic, and the knives are flying.

The educated youth who were starting to eat in the kitchen felt that they could only see the shadow of the knife. Everyone winked and stopped eating, waiting for Wen Lei to finish cooking.

The water in the pot is boiling. Pour the purslane into the hot water. Add onions, ginger, garlic, salt, and secretly add some thirteen spices and chicken essence. Add the chopped chili peppers, scoop out a spoonful of the Lao Ganma who specially brought it, and together Put it in a vegetable basin and stir well, one male and female educated youth each in a vegetable basin.

The male educated youths made a lot of noise again. Wen Lei couldn't let things go openly, but she poured some more of the oil from Lao Ganma.

"Wen Lei, you are really our noble one! We have new clothes to wear when you come here, and we can have meat and vegetables sooner or later. It smells so good!" Yang Guoxing sighed repeatedly.

Zhao Changzheng was also helpless. I have been catching lobsters every night these days, and no one is planting vegetables in the vegetable field. We can’t stop catching them. Are we all waiting for lobsters to improve their lives?

"I'm not talking about you. You are just one monk carrying water to eat, two monks carrying water to eat, and three monks not eating! When you went to the field, each of you brought back a small handful of wild vegetables. You can't let the cook eat without it. Cooking." Wen Lei was really speechless to them.

"What Wen Lei said, I have wanted to say for a long time. Our vegetable plot is almost empty. I won't say anything more about catching lobsters at night. I will plant vegetables at noon from tomorrow, otherwise I won't catch lobsters at night. Do you still want to eat them in winter? In addition, from tomorrow onwards, female educated youths will all carry baskets on their backs to work, and when they see wild vegetables, they will take it back. It should have been prepared long ago. Anyone who does not cooperate this time will eat it by himself in the winter." Zhao Changzheng looked at the female educated youths seriously. Here, then eat calmly.

Wen Lei thought that she would not offend anyone again! Every day at noon, the male educated youths come back carrying firewood. The hatred value is so full that they have to move quickly. They also have to store firewood. They will use a lot of firewood for four to five months of winter!

None of the male educated youths looked very good, and the good spirits they had just disappeared all of a sudden. Wen Lei murmured in her heart, ate quickly and left. She looked up at Yang Min with red cheeks and charming eyes. Wen Lei shivered. Just as he was about to lower his head to eat, Qiu Yutong happened to look over. Wen Lei was calmly eating her meal without even looking at her.

After dinner, Wen Lei and Ding Yanyu went to the brigade headquarters to help the villagers cut cloth and keep accounts.

When delivering the goods to the weaving factory the next day, she saw Wang Yunlong's angry face. Wen Lei didn't know what happened. She was just about to move the cloth and leave when he called her into the office.

"Uncle Wang, what's wrong with you?"

"The cotton in both trucks has been soaked in water, and the car broke down on the road. It is almost useless to pull it back. Wen Lei, can you call your father and see if there is a way for him to help us bring some cotton?" Wang Yunlong said With an anxious face, Wen Lei nodded quickly.

Wang Yunlong dialed the phone, and Wen Lei and Maliao gave Wen Cheng a general idea. Wen Cheng said that he could try to contact him for help. Wang Long took the phone and kept thanking him. The two chatted about things in the weaving factory, and the two parties became officially friends. After hanging up the phone, Wang Yunlong thanked Wen Lei endlessly.

"Girl, your dad has been a big help this time. My uncle will treat you to dinner today."

"Goodbye, I have to go back to open up wasteland and grow vegetables. By the way, Uncle Wang, what are you going to do with those two trucks of cotton?"

"What else are you planning?" Wang Yunlong looked at her funny.

"Give it all to our brigade! We can exchange eggs or meat with the factory, okay? I'll ask the brigade leader to organize people to go hunting in the mountains and bring you meat." Wen Lei is bound to win. Two trucks of cotton can bring enough money to the village. Everyone is wearing cotton-padded clothes this year.

"Okay! The car will arrive tomorrow morning. Let's take a look at the extent of the damage. I'm afraid the fabric won't last. Even if it's so hot, it may be damaged all day and night. If we can't dry it in time, I'm afraid it won't be usable if you want it. "Wang Yunlong frowned. He was afraid that the two trucks of cotton would rot all day and night.

"It's okay. You can take a look tomorrow. If it can't be put to better use, don't unload the car and send it directly to our brigade. Uncle Wang, you don't know, even if it's rotten, it can be used by the villagers. In winter, there are more than ten people in the family. , there are many people in cotton-padded clothes. They can only stay on the kang and can't go anywhere." Wen Lei felt sad when she thought about it and couldn't help but shake her head.

"Okay! You girl is so kind-hearted! Almost everyone here is like this! Poor! You Jiangnan has been rich since ancient times. You can't stand it. You haven't seen a truly poor place? Lanxi Brigade is already considered a good place. "Wang Yunlong let out a long sigh, then waved his hand and told Wen Lei to go ahead. He was still waiting for the meeting.

Back at the brigade headquarters, Wen Lei told the brigade captain about the two trucks of cotton. The brigade captain's eyes instantly turned red. Wen Lei saw that the brigade captain was about to shed tears, and she and Ding Yan ran away.

Back at the educated youth spot, the two of them ate the steamed buns they bought at a state-owned restaurant, ate some snacks, and then went to open up wasteland and grow vegetables.

Wen Lei dug and turned over the soil, while Ding Yanyu followed behind to pick up grass roots. The two of them were so busy that they didn't even straighten their backs until everyone left work. When Yuan Jian, Xiao Qing, and Gu Chen arrived, Wen Lei had already opened half an acre of land. Gu Chen went to fetch water to water the fields that had been cultivated in the past few days. Gu Chen and Xiao Qing went to plant vegetables, while Wen Lei continued to dig the unfinished ground, while Ding Yanyu followed her to pick up grass roots. Seeing that the time was almost up, Wen Lei took Ding Yanyu to the river to cut bunches of water celery and fished out small fish and shrimps in a backpack.

When I returned to the educated youth spot, I saw Yu Ying cooking and looked at her with some confusion. "Qiu Yutong gave me the cloth and asked me to help her cook a few times." Yu Ying responded generously to Wen Lei.

Put a few drops of oil in the pot, take out Lao Ganma, pour a big spoon into the pot, stir-fry the small fish and shrimp, add onions, ginger, garlic and chili, and then pour in the water celery cut by Yu Ying. Add to pot.

The food is ready to be served, try it and it tastes good! Just eat it! No oil and no salt!

After lunch, Wen Lei and Ding Yanyu arrived at the brigade headquarters. The brigade headquarters was full of people. They were all elderly people, including Patriarch Zhang.
