Chapter 052

Zhu Xiaomin continued: "Sometimes it's not too cold in early November, so you can still do some digging and pulling out mountains to prepare for the coming year. When it's completely frozen, the soil won't be dug out."

After a pause, he added, "The brigade had a meeting before and it was already agreed that when it freezes and no other work can be done, all the members will be called over to clean up all the rocks on the slopes around the breeding base so that sunflowers can be planted next year. ”

Several people nodded after hearing this, and Zhao Zheng asked: "How long are the chicken coops and sheep pens expected to be used?"

Zhu Xiaomin smiled: "Those projects are easier. The weather is still hot now. The mud will dry out after three days of exposure to the sun. Now the foundation has been dug. The walls of the first batch of chicken coops..." Calculate the time silently. Nodding, "It will be completed in a dozen days. After that, the roof will take some time, no more than half a month."

"Where is the sheepfold?" Zhao Zheng asked.

"The sheepfold is simpler, it only takes ten days." Zhu Xiaomin replied.

"Then we can prepare chickens and lambs." Meng Zihao said.

"The secretary has already said hello before and asked the county supply and marketing cooperative to help collect chicken seedlings. They should be available now. Once the chicken coop is built, we can just take them back. The lambs will probably have to wait a little longer."

Lu Mingzheng interjected: "Lamb, I'll figure it out."

"Really?" Zhu Xiaomin was surprised.

Lu Mingzheng nodded: "A few days ago, I reported this plan to the city. The city took it seriously and asked the agriculture and animal husbandry departments to provide support. Some lambs should be available."

Very good!

Zhu Xiaomin almost cheered, but then asked: "Will it be cheaper than buying it ourselves?"

Lu Mingzheng smiled: "I'll try to convince them to do it for free."

Isn't this pie in the sky?

Zhu Xiaomin could hardly believe her ears.

Zhao Zheng said with a smile: "No wonder you rushed to the city in those few days. It turned out to be just for this matter."

It turned out that he made a special trip back to the city.

Zhu Xiaomin turned her head and looked at Lu Mingzheng.

Meng Zihao then said: "After the chickens are retrieved, we cannot put them on the mountain yet. We have to keep people at the base." Zhao Zheng reminded.

Zhu Xiaomin nodded: "The chicken coop and the house for people will be built at the same time, and the chickens will be temporarily raised in baskets, and when they are larger, they will be put into the chicken coop."

Let’s talk about it. Several people have gone down the mountain from the other direction, passed through a large field of farmland, and then climbed up the hillside again to reach the place where trees are planted on the other side.

Gu Mancang saw four people coming up from a distance. He rushed to greet them and said with a smile: "I thought you would arrive tomorrow, but I didn't expect you would come today." He then asked, "Didn't you go to the breeding base?"

Lu Mingzheng said: "I just came over there and saw work being done here from a distance. Xiaomin said there were new fruit trees planted, so I came over to take a look."

Gu Mancang nodded immediately, pointed to the top of the hillside and said, "Plant a peach tree there, and next to it is a pear tree. They were both planted today."

Meng Zihao said hurriedly: "I'll go take a look." He left a few people behind and climbed up the hillside.

Among the educated youths, Song Zhian's group was at the breeding base today, and the other three groups were here. When they saw a few people coming over, they all waved and raised their voices to say hello.

Seeing that Wu Xulin was not far away, Zhu Xiaomin gestured to him and pointed at Meng Zihao.

Wu Xulin understood and handed the tools in his hands to his companion. He followed Meng Zihao and introduced to him the results of tree planting in the past few days. More importantly, of course, the key points of cultivating these fruit trees.

Lu Mingzheng saw this and couldn't help but turn his head and take a deep look at Zhu Xiaomin.

When did Wu Xulin have such a tacit understanding with this girl?

Zhu Xiaomin didn't know what he was thinking. When he saw him looking over, she looked back at him with wide eyes and then turned away.

Lu Mingzheng slowly took a step closer to her. He wanted to speak, but he didn't know what to say. He held it in for a long time before asking, "How do you eat at noon?"

noon?

Zhu Xiaomin said: "The group headquarters meals are provided here and at the base. I will go back to the group headquarters to eat."

Lu Mingzheng: "...Oh, then...let's go too."

After much searching, I couldn't think of anything else to say but to talk about work with her again.

On the other side of the hillside, Shi Meijun was cooperating with Yang Aijun to put a tree into the tree pit. When he saw Lu Mingzheng and his party coming up, he felt a little uneasy. After Yang Aijun shouted several times, he realized that the tree was leaning crooked. He hurriedly came over and whispered. Question: "Why didn't I hear about Lu Zhiqing's return today?"

Yang Aijun glanced down the slope and said casually: "I think he came back directly without any notice."

Shi Meijun said "hmm" and then said, "Sister Xiaomin is really lucky. I heard that after Lu Zhiqing left, she took over Lu Zhiqing's original job and wrote materials every day. It was much easier than us. ."

Yang Aijun looked up at her and said nothing. He lowered his head and shoveled dirt into the tree pit. After a while, he said, "Not everyone can do her job. She stayed up late every day writing materials for the past few days, and everyone could see it. "

Shi Meijun was unconvinced: "No one knows it from the beginning, they all learn slowly. She refuses to teach, is she afraid that others will take her job?"

Yang Aijun frowned and ignored her.

After more than a dozen shovels of soil, the tree no longer needed support. Shi Meijun let go, glanced at the people below who were still talking, rolled his eyes and said, "I don't know if there are any new instructions this time. Lu Zhiqing asked me to help." I'm taking notes, I'll go take a look." Yang Aijun ran away before he could say anything.

Yang Aijun looked back at her back, then turned back silently, and then filled the tree hole.

Nie Yifei next to him sneered: "Don't believe it. If Lu Mingzheng hadn't said something to the brigade headquarters, would Zhu Xiaomin have taken over his job so easily?"

Yang Aijun looked up at him and said coldly: "Nie Yifei, what are you farting at? We recommended Zhu Xiaomin ourselves. You were not there that day, but everyone else was."

Nie Yifei snorted coldly: "You can do it while I'm not around. She's not the only high school student."

Yang Aijun was amused: "The vote is decided, do you think you will get more votes than Zhu Xiaomin? Take a piss and take a look at it yourself." Ignoring him again, he stepped on the soil in the tree pit and walked away with the shovel.

Nie Yifei's face turned pale with anger, he gritted his teeth and glared at his back bitterly. He let out a "bah" and cursed in a low voice, "How can a poor junior high school student be so awesome?"

Zhang Qiaomei, who was helping to support the tree, whispered: "You can't win the argument with them, so why bother with them?"

Nie Yifei sneered: "You can go to them or get out."

Zhang Qiaomei pursed her lips and stopped talking.

Zhu Xiaomin had just briefly explained today's progress of the breeding base to Gu Mancang when he saw Shi Meijun running down the hillside and greeted her with a smile: "Sister Xiaomin, are you here?"

Zhu Xiaomin: "..."

We see each other every day, but never see them so affectionate.

He could only nod and smile: "Yes, what a coincidence, Shi Zhiqing is here too?"
