Seventy-year-old book: The villain Zaizai’s best mother

Captain He immediately ordered He Limin to tell the old lady to cook more dishes and treat Director Xia well.

At the beginning of the third month of the lunar calendar, there is no food in the countryside.

There are still a few cabbages left in the cabbage store last year. The potatoes have been eaten long ago. If they are not eaten, they will sprout and become poisonous. The other vegetables have not been planted yet. However, there are some leeks left after being covered with wheat bran in winter. I can cut some tender tips. .

Captain He's wife and her daughter-in-law cooked a dish of cabbage stewed with bacon and tofu, steamed sausages, scrambled eggs with leeks, and mushroom stewed vermicelli.

The mushrooms are last year's dried mushrooms.

Xia Mingshuang said it was too rich, "Secretary An and the team leader, it's really too expensive. We officers don't have such high food standards, so we can be more simple."

She was not shy at all. She took out a pound of food stamps and put them on the table. "This is the food we will eat when we go to the countryside."

Secretary An refused to take it and asked her to put it away.

Xia Mingshuang: "No one of us has to refuse. This is the rule."

In fact, the rule is that a pound of food stamps costs two cents for vegetables, but Xia Mingshuang doesn't want to take advantage of such a rich family.

Director Guan just asked them to accept it, there was no need to worry about it.

They were all hungry, so they ate first, and when they were almost done eating, they began to talk about business slowly.

Director Guan: "Director Xia, last winter the planner said that we would expand another two hundred acres of mulberry fields. Can you make the final decision on this matter?"

Xia Mingshuang smiled and said: "She asked for an extension of two hundred acres. She just wanted more mulberry leaves. Our previous mulberry seedlings have grown up and can chop mulberry leaves every day, which is enough."

She has investigated and found out that they have planted so many mulberry seedlings in the past two years, but they have not raised many silkworms. It should be said that not many survive to form silkworm cocoons.

Wouldn't it be nice to just use the existing mulberry leaves to raise more silkworms and harvest more cocoons and pupae?

She also gave some advice to several cadres, "We have to allocate clever female co-workers to raise silkworms, and let strong and careful male co-workers split mulberry leaves every day and raise silkworm cocoons. When the cocoons are ready, they can hand in tasks and produce silkworm chrysalises." It’s also a meat dish, so the members can buy it, or the team can sell it for money.”

Several people listened with great interest and asked why so many of their silkworms always died.

Xia Mingshuang told them some tips. When raising silkworms, you must first pay attention to the mulberry leaves. There should be no dew. If there is dew, they must be dried in the shade, otherwise the silkworms will have diarrhea and die if they eat them.

The temperature of the silkworm room must also be controlled well. It should not be too cold or too humid, so as not to breed bacteria and kill the silkworms.

This year, after the mulberry leaves have grown up, you can start hatching silkworm seeds. Pay attention from the beginning, and the harvest will naturally be considerable in the end.

After dinner, Xia Mingshuang met two technicians from his team. One woman was responsible for directing silkworm raising, and the other man was responsible for guiding mulberry fields.

Xia Mingshuang tested it and found that they were...hard to describe.

These two people learned from technicians from the south, but due to the language and talent, they learned half-heartedly.

Southern technicians don't speak Mandarin very well and speak southern dialects, so communication is a bit of a problem.

The technician did leave notes, but these two were not very studious.

Xia Mingshuang could tell that these two people were probably the younger generations of Party Secretary An and Captain He. She couldn't say it directly, so she only mentioned it to Party Secretary An tactfully and asked them to find a few young, thoughtful, diligent and eager to learn people. You need to learn the knowledge of sericulture again.

In fact, there is no special professional knowledge in sericulture. One page is enough to carry it. The key is to be careful and eager to learn.

When Xia Mingshuang was studying, her science teacher asked them to raise silkworms. She asked her grandma for advice at that time, and also watched videos and books to learn. Anyway, she was quite professional.

It’s totally fine to teach these young people.

It's not time to plant silkworms yet, so let them tidy up the silkworm room first, clean it up, mop the walls and floors, spread lime to dehumidify, and pay attention to ventilation and warmth on the windows, etc.

After explaining these key points, it was evening.

Director Guan and others forced Xia Mingshuang to stay for dinner.

Xia Mingshuang smiled and said: "Thank you Director Guan, Party Secretary An, and Captain He for the invitation. It's just that it's late and I have to get off work. My wife came to pick me up."

Director Guan immediately said: "Then Director Xia will come back tomorrow!"

This was not the time when I was avoiding Xia Mingshuang in the morning.

Xia Mingshuang smiled and said, "I have to go to Pingxi Commune tomorrow. They have a potato mission, which will be planted in a few days. We need to communicate in advance."

Director Guan: "Then come to our commune the day after tomorrow."

Xia Mingshuang: "Don't worry, Director Guan, I will definitely come when silkworm seeds are planted here."

While they were talking, they arrived at the entrance of the village, and a military green jeep drove over.

The jeep is an old car, but it has been repaired and cleaned, and the glass is very clear, reflecting the handsome and upright man in the cab.

Director Guan and the other three couldn't help but exclaimed. No wonder they felt that Director Xia had an unusual temperament. It turned out that the relationship at home was very tough.

Those who can drive a jeep these days, whether they are in the military or in government agencies, are extraordinary.

When they saw the driver clearly, he turned out to be such a handsome and upright man, they couldn't hold it back and started shouting.

Look at Xiaoxia's man, he's so... outstanding!

Director Guan: "Why does it look familiar to me?"

Secretary An: "I've seen it in the newspapers several times."

Captain He: "You are still boasting that you are intellectuals. Isn't this the great engineer of mechanical and electrical engineering? His name is Gu Yunshan. He is amazingly handsome in the newspapers, but he is even more handsome in person."

The three of them immediately stepped forward to greet Gu Yunshan.

Xia Mingshuang originally got in the car and left directly, but seeing this, he could only wait.

Gu Yunshan originally wanted to pick up his wife and leave, but he got stuck and had to come down to chat with the three cadres.

Shake hands, chat.

He Limin suddenly pulled Party Secretary An aside and said anxiously: "Uncle Party Secretary, I, I remembered!"

Secretary An still wanted to get close to Gu Yunshan, so he asked impatiently: "What do you want?"

He Limin: "Gu Yunshan, Xia Mingshuang! Gujialing! Newspapers, provincial newspapers, their solar energy, mushroom house, bathhouse, water pump station, power station in Gujialing... Oh my god, I think Director Xia looks familiar."

Before, Xia Mingshuang only said that her surname was Xia, so they called her Secretary Xia. Since they heard that she knew about silkworm raising, they subconsciously thought that she was a staff member transferred from the south, and they never thought that she was a local.

Gujialing, they know!

Director Guan said that they would not be allowed to leave immediately, and they had to go to the brigade headquarters for another meal.

Nonsense, how could you let them go with such a good opportunity? How can you not mess with the relationship?

Let their team install water pumps, install solar panels, and grow mushroom houses!

Their Dahe brigade also followed Gujialing, and the members all lived a good life.

What a great thing!
