Military marriage, the last big man married the soldier king, the stronger the stronger

When talking about growing herbs, Bao Zhiguo's expression became much more serious.

"Of course we need to plant this, it's a good project, but our village doesn't have the talent in this area, I have to ask for support, there's no rush."

Among the people in the room, only Jiang Yan understood the hidden meaning of Bao Zhiguo.

Back then in the production team compound, Jiang Yan went to talk to Bao Zhiguo specifically to tell him about her family's relocation to Qinghe Brigade.

She also wanted to take a gamble on Bao Zhiguo's character, and she won!

So much time has passed, and Bao Zhiguo has never told this to anyone else.

She brought it up at the dinner table today, and Bao Zhiguo also expressed his stance. If the Jiang family could really be taken care of in the Shengli Brigade, it would not be a big deal for her to help the village build a few more fish ponds. Only with mutual benefit can the relationship last.

"Dad, it's great to raise fish! When spring comes, we'll build a few more fish ponds. During the busy farming season, the elderly and children in the village can help feed the fish. I've seen the work in the fish ponds. It's only a little tiring when selling fish, but it's pretty easy at other times. We're already very busy farming and raising fish. Wouldn't it be a bit redundant to make some Chinese medicine?"

Bao Shengli's words made Bao Zhiguo's eyelids twitch violently, "You know shit."

He did not give his eldest son any face and said, "More income means more hope! Look at our brigade, how poor we are. In a good year, the food we harvest is barely enough for the whole family to eat. How much money can we have left?"

Bao Shengli fell into deep thought.

"You've only been working for a few years. Have you forgotten the difficulties of us farmers after getting paid? You are ungrateful!"

Bao Zhiguo was angry, his eyes were full of rage.

Bao Shengli was apprehensive. "I, I just said it casually. I'm afraid you'll be tired and too busy to handle it."

"What's the harm in being tired? We farmers are not afraid of being tired. What we are afraid of is that we work hard to cultivate crops all year round, but end up not having enough to eat."

You could hear a pin drop in the room. No one spoke, and everyone stared at Bao Zhiguo. At this moment, anyone could feel his sadness.

"We have many mountains and forests in our Victory Brigade, but little good land and much bad land. People always talk about black soil and the great plains, but our Victory Brigade is in a corner of this great plain! If God is merciful and the harvest is good, all of us in the team can have enough food to eat, but if the harvest is bad, we will be hungry every day!"

"You have completely forgotten what happened in the past few years! At that time, the mountains were all plucked bare. People ate tree bark, grass roots, and everything else. When your mother and I were young, there were wars and famines, and people died everywhere..."

Recalling the past, Bao Zhiguo's eyes turned red. "Tell me, you've only had a few days of good life, and you've become arrogant. Do you think there are so many ways to make money? Do you think it's tiring? This is only the educated youth Xiao Jiang, who gives us advice and lends us money to find ways. If it were someone else, who would care about your life or death?"

"Dad, I was wrong, calm down."

"Okay, stop talking, Xiao Jiang is still here!"

Jiang Yan admires Bao Zhiguo's spirit of caring about his members wholeheartedly. He really wants to lead everyone to live a good life, to have enough food and warm clothes, to have access to education and to be able to afford medical treatment.

"Uncle, Brother Bao doesn't understand the cultivation and value of herbs. If he knew, he wouldn't say that."

Li Caiying asked quickly, "Little educated youth Jiang, don't say he doesn't know. I've lived to this age and I've never heard of anyone growing herbs! There are members who collect herbs and send them to the supply and marketing cooperative, but I heard they don't sell for much money."

"Aunt, there are many kinds of herbs. Some have high medicinal value, such as ginseng, gastrodia, and cordyceps, so they are naturally more valuable. Some herbs are everywhere, but their medicinal value is not high, so the price is naturally low."

"Oh, so that's what's going on." Li Caiying said with emotion, "Otherwise you have to study more. Look at Xiao Jiang, there's nothing she doesn't know." She quickly said, "Xiao Jiang, you should eat more. You're too thin."

Jiang Yan only said: "In recent years, the situation is obviously better than in previous years. In previous years, even if you gave me some courage, I would not dare to mention the idea of ​​growing herbs."

Everyone knows that in those years, Chinese medicine and traditional Chinese medicine became dregs...

"The country is in a difficult period now, and the policy has been relaxed. Now many hospitals and supply and marketing cooperatives are collecting Chinese herbal medicines. Our Shengli Brigade has a unique advantage. The mountainous forest land that cannot be used to grow food is just right for growing herbal medicines. If this is done well, within a few years, our whole village will be able to build big tiled houses!"

"Really?" Bao Zhiguo's eyes widened and he was very excited.

"Of course it's true. You can pay attention to the news in this regard." Jiang Yan showed just the right amount of embarrassment. "But I only know some theoretical knowledge from books. Uncle, you still have to find an expert to tell you how to plant it."

Bao Zhiguo nodded heavily and said meaningfully: "Don't worry, leave this matter to me!"

The atmosphere at the dinner table became lively again. Li Caiying reheated the food, and the family was finally able to calm down and have a good meal.

Jiang Yan finished her dinner at Bao's house and went home holding the dumplings that Li Caiying had stuffed into her mouth.

The Bao family wanted to send her back, but she refused. It was only a few steps away, so what was the point of sending her back?

Jiang Yan had just walked to the door of her house when she found two sneaky people wandering around the yard. They probably didn't notice Jiang Yan, and they were looking into the yard curiously, obviously having bad intentions.

Judging from their figures, they were a man and a woman. They were a bit far away, so Jiang Yan didn't see their faces clearly and didn't know who they were.

She hid herself quietly, observing their every move secretly.

Just then, the man slipped and fell onto the fence wall, startling Xiaobai.

A burst of barking was heard from inside the house, and the two men were so scared that they ran away without caring about anything else.

Jiang Yan looked around vigilantly, put the dumplings in her arms into the space, and followed quietly.

The two men ran for several hundred meters before they stopped breathlessly in the grove behind the educated youth's vegetable farm.

"No one saw it, right?" The man's voice was a little strange, but he sounded quite young. He should be an educated youth.

"no!"

Jiang Yan raised her eyebrows. She was very familiar with this voice.

"Why are you so careless?" The woman was a little angry.

"It's okay. Isn't she not at home?" The man coaxed her, "Don't be angry with me over such a small matter."

"I'm not angry. I'm just afraid that it will affect our plan." The woman seemed to be trying to save face. "What if the dog alarms the neighbors and they find us? That would be bad. Besides, you're the one who'll benefit. If the plan fails, you'll lose both your money and your life..."
