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

It was almost noon, and dozens of baskets lined up on the path beside the field were full, and a group of commune members picked them up and sent them down the mountain, while the remaining people temporarily stopped working and returned to the base.

Zhu Xiaomin pointed to the front and said, "Going this way is the two acres we have left. Why don't we go take a look now?"

This is no time wasted at all.

Lu Mingzheng was amused, nodded and said, "Just a few of us can go there."

Xie Chengzhi agreed to let the others go back to the base first, and he called Miao Shiwen and Song Zhian, together with Zhu Xiaomin, to accompany the three of them to the field where the seeds were left.

Lu Mingzheng naturally accompanied Zhu Xiaomin, looking down at the sea of ​​golden flowers all over the mountain, and then at the girl next to him, he smiled and said, "We have met Secretary Yan in the county, and he always praised you."

Zhu Xiaomin turned her head and smiled at him, blinked and asked, "What are you praising me for? You're not bragging, right?"

Lu Mingzheng was funny: "I don't know if he was bragging or not. He said you were smart, capable, with a good mind, and eloquent."

Zhu Xiaomin smiled, then shook her head after thinking about it, "That probably means I'm not bragging, but it doesn't sound like it's all a compliment to me."

Forget about the previous one, the "eloquent" one sounds a bit helpless.

Lu Mingzheng also smiled: "Your prices are very reasonable."

Zhu Xiaomin stuck out his tongue: "If it's not reasonable, I'm afraid I'll be slapped with a hat."

"Hush!" Lu Mingzheng stopped him softly. He looked around and saw that these few people were the only ones who felt relieved. He shook his head slightly and said, "Don't talk nonsense."

Zhu Xiaomin curled her lips and stopped talking.

Lu Mingzheng looked forward, moved closer to her, and whispered: "We have become a lot more relaxed in the past few years, but at this time, people are less likely to find fault. This village looks like a paradise, but in fact it is not peaceful. ."

After listening to his words, Zhu Xiaomin's heart moved and she couldn't help but take a deep look at him.

He said "by this time", when was it?

Could it be that he also felt that the chaos was about to end?

When Lu Mingzheng heard that she didn't speak, he misunderstood her and continued, "I...I'm not preaching, I just want you to protect yourself."

Hearing his worry, Zhu Xiaomin's heart moved slightly, and she nodded and said, "Yes, I know. I just want to talk about it when there are no outsiders."

No outsiders?

That means she didn't treat him as an outsider?

Lu Mingzheng felt his whole heart skip a beat and nodded repeatedly.

While everyone was talking, they had already arrived at the two acres of land left. Meng Zihao first looked at the condition of the land and nodded repeatedly: "This is a good place to choose." Then he went in and selected some sunflowers in different rows to look at. , came out and said, "It's okay to keep these seeds as seeds, but I'm afraid they won't be able to grow into the next generation."

"Can we only keep one generation?" Xie Chengzhi was disappointed.

Lu Mingzheng said: "If we plant it next year, we can just buy the seeds the year after that."

Xie Chengzhi turned around and looked at the endless sunflowers, and whispered, "But with so much land, buying seeds every year is a big expense."

This year's seeds were obtained through connections between Meng Zihao and Lu Mingzheng. A large bag was barely enough to plant on these fields. If intensive planting was to be done in the future, the number of seeds would probably have to be doubled several times.

Meng Zihao also knew his concerns, nodded and said: "We will find a solution when the time comes."

Zhu Xiaomin said: "Since we can save one generation, every year in the future, we only need to buy two or three acres of first-generation seeds, turn this area into a seed field, and cultivate the seeds for the second year here."

Two or three acres of land, just a small bag, will be easy to buy.

Meng Zihao was a little embarrassed at first, but when he heard what she said, he suddenly raised his brows and said with a smile: "I wish the educated youth a good brain. We can only study the seeds in the two or three acres of land, and it also happens to help us test the spreading ability of the seeds." .”

Zhu Xiaomin smiled: "That's the best."

Ok, deal.

After identifying the seed field, it was equivalent to having all the seeds in the future. Several educated youths were indescribably happy, chatting and laughing as they returned to the base.

After dinner, Zhao and Meng declined Xie Chengzhi's suggestion to send them back to the educated youth spot to rest, and insisted on following them to the fields, collecting sunflower cakes with everyone else, just to experience life.

It was not until dusk that members of the other two production teams carried the last batch of sunflower cakes down the mountain, and the educated youth returned to the base.

At this time, the sister-in-law who was herding sheep was also taking the sheep down the mountain. Zhao Zheng randomly grabbed a few sheep and checked the growth. He nodded repeatedly: "This sheep is growing well. Once the wool is sheared, it can be bred."

Song Zhi'an scratched his head, looked at Lu Mingzheng and said, "No one here knows how to shear sheep."

Zhao Zheng said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, Ming Zheng has found two sheep shearing masters. We have decided to shear here, and they will be here soon."

Lu Mingzheng nodded: "Tomorrow I will follow Xudong to the county and make a call back."

This is too thoughtful.

Zhu Xiaomin originally planned to ask Yan Yimin for help, but this way she saved a favor and could discuss the price of wool with him later, so that she could discuss things at a higher level.

Lu Mingzheng asked: "When will the expansion of the sheepfold be completed?"

Xie Chengzhi pointed to the mud bricks next to the house and said: "The mud bricks have been laid and the stones are ready. We will just wait until the sunflowers are harvested to expand the sheepfold."

Zhao Zheng asked: "How long will it take for the sunflowers to be harvested?"

Xie Chengzhi said: "Nearly half has been collected now, and it will take more than half a month to collect them all."

Zhao Zheng nodded: "The materials have been prepared. The expansion of the sheepfold will only take ten days at most. There is no time left."

Lu Mingzheng said: "When the sheep shearing master arrives, you will have to arrange for a few people to learn from him."

Zhu Xiaomin nodded repeatedly, pointed to a few male educated youths and said, "Yang Aijun, Chen Danqing, Feng Wenming, and Li Mingjiang are good at other jobs and should be easy to learn."

The few educated youths she selected smiled and agreed: "Let's give it a try. If it doesn't work, we'll use someone else."

Xie Chengzhi smiled: "Everyone learns, and whoever learns will get better."

Things were basically agreed here. Seeing that the sisters-in-law had already put the sheep into the pen, they blew the whistle to call the chickens back, and two people went to the brigade headquarters to pick up the luggage for the three of them, while the others went directly back to the educated youth point.

Only then did Lu Mingzheng think of asking: "There are only two people left in the school, how can they control those children?"

Xie Chengzhi smiled: "The class is enough, but I can't take him out to collect music in the afternoon. Fortunately, Luo Ye is there. Now he is the one taking me to run and recite poems in the afternoon."

Zhu Xiaomin smiled and said: "When the sunflower cakes are harvested, bring them over and help us chop down the sunflower poles."

Among the children in the village, not to mention the children in Class 3 who are already in their teens, even the six or seven-year-old children in Class 1 can already do simple farm work.

When everyone heard it, they couldn't help but laugh.

She always has endless ways to consume the excess energy of the naughty children.
