The educated youth was reborn and wanted to disappear, but he was locked into a military marriage.

The little boy's black-haired head stretched out, a pair of dark eyes stared at him, extraordinarily agile, Zhu Xiaomin raised her hand to rub his head again: "Don't worry, even if they run a school, it won't affect us, brigade I won’t let you pass either.”

"Really?" Luo Ye was surprised.

Although he has been here for less than two months, he already likes it here very much.

Zhu Xiaomin smiled and nodded: "Really!"

When Luo Tingyuan heard this, he raised his head and glanced at her, then silently lowered his head and concentrated on eating.

She only said that she would not let them pass, but she did not definitely say that they could stay, so there were still variables.

But she didn't say anything, and he didn't ask.

The current situation, whether he knows it or not, can't change anything.

Zhu Xiaomin didn't explain clearly because there were variables.

Maybe the Luo family father and son cannot stay at the educated youth base, but she will try to let them stay at the base. By then, it will just be that the courses for the educated youth are more difficult to handle, and the lives of the father and son will not have much impact, so it will not do not worry.

Just to let the Luo family and his son pass, they have to mention the base expansion first.

Zhu Xiaomin prepared for a rainy day. After discussing with Xie Chengzhi and Miao Shiwen that night, she applied the next day.

Supported by the records made by Miao Shiwen, this application did not encounter any resistance, but the task of afforestation had not yet been completed, and only a group of educated youths were assigned to build mud blocks and prepare for expansion.

Luo Ye often listened to them discuss things about the base and was very curious. Zhu Xiaomin also wanted them and his son to know some of the base's conditions in advance, so as not to make them feel uneasy if they really had to move there, so they chose a day to take him to the base. .

After these few months, the sunflowers on the rocky slopes have grown as tall as a person, and many of them have formed sunflower cakes, but the sunflower seeds are not yet mature.

Just after walking through the natural forest, Luo Ye suddenly saw a golden patch of land in front of him. Luo Ye couldn't help shouting in surprise, "It's so beautiful!"

"These are also grown at the base and can be put away in two months." Zhu Xiaomin smiled and rubbed his head, holding his shoulders as he walked down the mountain road.

Luo Ye's eyes were filled with the golden light of sunflowers. He looked up at her and said, "Then if we run out of food, these melon seeds can last for a long time."

Zhu Xiaomin couldn't help laughing: "We shouldn't run out of food this year."

Luo Ye shook his head and whispered: "My dad and I didn't bring any food rations."

Not only did they not bring any food rations, they also ate three meals a day until they were full. Although he was young, he also knew that he had to eat a lot of food.

Zhu Xiaomin rubbed his head again: "What are you doing, don't you believe in your sister Xiaomin's ability?"

"No!" Luo Ye shook his head hastily, shook her hand down, and reached out to grab it.

If he doesn't trust anyone, he won't trust her.

Zhu Xiaomin smiled, held his hand and walked down, and said, "I often go up the mountain during this period. You have also seen the fruit trees on the mountain. Those are ours too."

Luo Ye nodded: "Yes, I can still eat fruit."

But the fruit is not easy to preserve and cannot be eaten in the winter.

I just didn't say this because I was afraid that she would be unhappy.

Zhu Xiaomin smiled: "Not only can you grow food yourself, you can also exchange it for other things and buy it with money. After we collect the fruits, we can transport them to the county or even the city, sell them for money, and then buy the food back, so we don't Will starve."

Grain can be exchanged for money, and money can be exchanged for grain. Luo Ye has only heard from Luo Tingyuan, but as he has grown up, he has only seen grain growing in the fields and sharing grain in the team, but he has never seen it exchanged for money. I didn't expect this to happen right next to me, so I couldn't help but ask: "Sister Xiaomin, we have money, where can we buy food? Are we going to the brigade?"

He knew that after the autumn harvest every year, the brigade had to keep a large portion of the grain before distributing it to the members.

Zhu Xiaomin nodded: "If it's a good harvest year and the brigade has a lot of food left, you can buy it with the brigade, which is the most convenient. But many times, the brigade doesn't have a lot of surplus food, so it has to buy resold food. If that doesn't work, you can ask people from the city to come. Buy food at the grain station."

"What is rebate grain?" Luo Ye asked.

Zhu Xiaomin put it simply: "It means that the state collects grain from rural areas and sells it back to some rural areas with low output."

Luo Ye nodded, indicating that he understood.

The two of them were talking and had already passed through the sunflowers and entered the base.

Seeing the large area enclosed by the wall, Luo Ye was shocked again: "This is much bigger than the yard of the brigade headquarters."

He only went into the brigade headquarters of the first brigade once when he came here. He was talking about the third brigade.

Zhu Xiaomin smiled, touched his head and said, "Most of these places are empty now, but they will be expanded later, so they were expanded in first."

The two walked in and saw a few chickens running around in the yard. Luo Ye was a little disappointed: "Are there only so many?"

"Most of them are in the mountains." Zhu Xiaomin replied.

Regardless of whether they are humans or animals, there are always a few people who insist on going their own way. These chickens are just that. If they are left alone and cannot go up the mountain, or if they go up the mountain and slip back, everyone doesn't care and just let them run away.

Several sisters-in-law in the base had known that the capitalist roader in the educated youth spot had a child. When they saw that she had brought a boy over, they guessed that it was the child and said hello with a smile.

Seeing several people cooking chicken feed, Zhu Xiaomin signaled to get on with it and took Luo Ye to visit the entire base.

Wu Xulin's group was making mud bricks in an open space farther away. When they saw them coming, they raised their voices to say hello.

Luo Ye ran over and rolled up his sleeves to help.

Wu Xulin smiled, handed him the shovel in his hand, and followed Zhu Xiaomin to see the prepared mud. He added: "We saw the sunflowers today. Most of them have bloomed on the top. The ones on the hillside grow slower. If you leave silage, , shouldn’t it be accepted too?”

Zhu Xiaomin nodded: "Have you calculated the total?"

Wu Xulin scratched his head: "This is the first year for us to do this, and we have no idea. It's just that the lambs have grown up today. It's better to be more prepared than not." He sighed again, "It would be great if Comrade Meng and Comrade Zhao were here. ”

All this is still in the exploratory stage for them. If Zhao and Meng are here, they can give their opinions directly.

Zhu Xiaomin smiled and said, "We have to think twice. We can't rely entirely on them." He looked down the hillside through the wall and said, "Let's go down and have a look."

"Okay!" Wu Xulin nodded, raised his voice to say hello to a few others, and then asked Luo Ye, "If you are here to help, you might as well come down with us and take a look."

Of course, go down and have a look.

When Luo Ye heard this, he quickly threw down his shovel and hurried back. He grabbed Zhu Xiaomin's hand and asked, "Why are all these sunflowers planted down the mountain?"

"Boy!" Zhu Xiaomin rubbed his head again and said with a smile, "Yes, it turns out this is a large saline-alkali land. We have planted sunflowers this year all the way to the valley. We are going to see how they grow."
