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

Zhu Xiaomin smiled: "The branch secretary of our brigade is a good man, and the brigade leader is also willing to do practical things. When I first proposed it, they also had concerns. Fortunately, there is support from the city, and a group of people in the educated youth site are willing to share the risks with me."

"How do we share the risk?" Liu Zhuangzhi from Section 2 couldn't help but ask.

Zhu Xiaomin explained carefully: "Working in our team requires work points. The more work points you get, the more food you will get at the end of the year. In our breeding base, work points are recorded separately from the work points of the brigade. In other words, people who work at the base cannot earn work points from the brigade. If the base fails, the labor of those people will be in vain and they will not be able to exchange for food."

"You mean, all the people working at the base are educated youth?" Yang Yilian was surprised.

Zhu Xiaomin shook her head: "Not entirely. In the beginning, some tasks were assigned by the brigade. But after the initial construction, the basic maintenance of the base and the subsequent expansion were mostly done by the educated youth."

"Does that mean that if the base fails, all the educated youth will have no food to distribute that year? What will you eat then?" Jiao Xianglan couldn't help but ask.

Zhu Xiaomin spread his hands: "This is the problem. If we fail, we can only borrow food from the brigade headquarters, or ask our families for support to buy food. Fortunately, we succeeded."

"So, just because you succeeded, other brigades in your commune also want to follow suit?" Liu Zhuangzhi asked.

Zhu Xiaomin nodded: "That's right."

Zhang Yujie breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the people around him, and whispered, "Hengyin County has already made such achievements, which means it has taken the first step. The work to be done in the future will be much easier. Whoever gets it will be blessed."

Zhu Xiaomin smiled and shook his head: "Not to mention the entire Hengyin County, there are five communes in the Beishan Forest Farm alone, and each commune is divided into ten to fifteen production teams. Where we are, we are just a production team in one of the communes."

"Aren't other teams planning to follow suit?" Yang Yiliang asked immediately.

Zhu Xiaomin nodded: "Only a few brigades in our commune want to follow suit. Other communes still need to do work. Also, the conditions in forest farms are different from those in ordinary villages. The mature forests and undeveloped barren hills in forest farms are unique conditions for grazing livestock. Ordinary villages don't have those conditions, so we can only find another way."

"So, we still have to convince them to use the newly improved seeds." Yang Yilian brought the question back to the original point.

"If conditions permit, we can also develop the animal husbandry industry," Zhu Xiaomin suggested. "I don't know about other counties, but I once heard the secretary of the Hengyin County Supply and Marketing Cooperative say that they can't complete their annual pig quota, which has kept them short of pork. Otherwise, our mutton wouldn't have been so popular last year."

It’s indeed an idea.

Everyone nodded again.

Liu Zhuangzhi said to Zhu Xiaomin sincerely: "If we can convince the brigade to do its job later, I'm afraid I'll have to ask you for help with the seeds. I can't say I'll give them to you, but at least provide some resources."

"That's easy!" Zhu Xiaomin nodded. "Experts' research also needs to be supported by practice. It's not a question of who helps whom. It should be a mutual achievement."

"Without you, we would have nowhere to find experts." Zhang Yujie also said.

Zhu Xiaomin smiled and agreed to this.

The festival is coming soon, and every person in each department has designated towns and villages to go to, but some of them were not taken into account before, so we have to make adjustments again this time.

Zheng Jianye looked at the materials sent by both sides and asked in surprise: "Why are they applying for Cijiaokou Commune this time? No one went there in previous years."

Cijiaokou Commune is mountainous, and one often has to climb over several hills to get in, so usually everyone avoids it.

Ding Lifei said first: "Director Zheng, we have to pick the hard bones to chew. Cijiaokou Commune is mountainous. We plan to walk through the whole area before it freezes over and make a detailed development plan as a model."

Lü Haigen said honestly: "Cijiaokou Commune has made outstanding achievements, and we all want to learn from its advanced experience."

Zheng Jianye thought for a moment and asked Zhu Xiaomin, "Comrade Zhu Xiaomin, that is the commune where you went to work in the countryside, right?" Seeing her nod, he asked, "In your opinion, can it be used as a model?"

Zhu Xiaomin shook his head truthfully: "Until this year, only the first brigade had achieved some results. The first brigade can be a model for the whole commune, but it is not enough to be a model for the entire forest farm, let alone the entire county or the entire region."

Zheng Jianye took another document and nodded slightly, saying, "I saw the report from Hengyin County. Now several brigades in Cijiaokou Commune have requested to build a base. What do you think?"

Zhu Xiaomin pondered for a moment and shook his head: "Some brigades do not have the conditions to build breeding bases. It's not that their mature forests are not enough to be used. It's just that building a breeding base requires a large area of ​​land, which may destroy some farmland and is not cost-effective."

"So which ones do you think are acceptable?" Zheng Jianye asked.

Zhu Xiaomin was helpless: "Director Zheng, although I stayed there for seven years, I only went to some places nearby and didn't go to all of them. I dare not draw a conclusion."

Zheng Jianye nodded, tapped his fingers on the report, and asked after a moment of hesitation: "Then...if I give this job to you? Can you complete it?"

Leave it to her?

Not only Zhu Xiaomin, but everyone else was also a little surprised.

Ding Lifei immediately said, "Director Zheng, Zhu Xiaomin is from the Administrative Section."

Zheng Jianye nodded: "But she is the one who knows Cijiaokou Commune best, and it can be said that she built the base of the First Brigade single-handedly. She has the most say in matters there. It doesn't matter which department she is from, what matters is whether she has any ideas about the place."

After a brief moment of surprise, Zhu Xiaomin was instantly excited and immediately expressed her opinion: "Director Zheng, I already have a mature plan for the First Brigade. As for the other brigades, I also have a general understanding of the people there. I can travel one place at a time in terms of terrain. I think I can complete this task."

Zheng Jianye nodded appreciatively: "Comrade Zhu Xiaomin has a high level of enthusiasm for work, which is worth learning from."

Ding Lifei didn't expect Zhu Xiaomin to accept the task without hesitation. He was slightly stunned and asked, "Is it just Zhu Xiaomin? Or send an assistant."

After he said this, Guo Hongtao immediately raised her hand: "Director Zheng, Zhu Xiaomin has only been here for a short time and probably doesn't fully understand our work. I would like to apply to form a team with her and help her complete this task."

Well, with this sentence, she came to help.

Zhu Xiaomin smiled barely perceptibly and lowered her head to hide the sarcasm in her eyes.
