Love in the Siheyuan: Starting from Jia Dongxu

When Jia Dongxu, Jia Zhenye and Jia Laosi's wife returned to the village, Jia Zhenye arranged for people to pick 50 kilograms of vegetables from the vegetable field, tied them up with straw ropes, and carried them to the Farm with Jia Dongxu.

"Dongxu, the last time Director Yu came to borrow a shovel, he brought his troops with him and looked so impressive." Jia Zhenye said with a smile.

"Uncle, that's not true. Political Commissar Yu can be heard on the big screen!" Jia Dongxu pointed upwards with his hand exaggeratedly.

"My goodness, are we going to meet an important official? Is this dish not good enough?" Jia Zhenye said worriedly, "Don't offend others for no reason."

"Then send more when the vegetables are grown." Jia Dongxu said with a smile, "We have to go find him to get some cattle."

When the two men arrived at the farm gate, Jia Dongxu stepped forward, went to the sentry post and explained his purpose.

After a while, Yu Yan came out of the farm.

"Hello, Political Commissar Yu." Jia Dongxu stepped forward and handed over a few baskets of vegetables in his hand. "Political Commissar Yu, you treat us as outsiders. You don't even tell our villagers about your problems."

"Haha, Dongxu, we can't take a single penny from the people. If there are difficulties, we can overcome them." Yu Yan said, and hurriedly took out money.

Although these dishes only cost a few dollars, the problem is that there is nowhere to buy them even with the money.

"Political Commissar Yu, I'm here to ask you for help, not to do business with you." Jia Dongxu said quickly.

When Yu Yan heard this, he sent the dishes over and asked the sentry to notify people to take them away. It would be great if there were dishes every day.

I don’t know how long it will take to grow vegetables here. The generals are used to using guns, and now they have switched to hoes, and they haven’t adapted yet.

"Dongxu, how can you help me?" Yu Yan asked.

"Haha, Political Commissar Yu, the village is short of labor and we want to find some cattle to plow the land. I heard from Brother Wang that you have a way to get some cattle."

"Well, that's right, there is a way. Lao Wang asked you to come to me?" Yu Yan said with a smile, "Oh."

"Well, Brother Wang said you can give me a few heads, and I will exchange them for vegetables." Jia Dongxu said quickly.

"Okay, I have 10 cows now. They are all still learning how to plow the land and haven't figured out anything about the land." Yu Yan said, "If you can find a solution for me, I'll give you 5!"

"Do you really want me to help find it?" Jia Dongxu rolled his eyes after hearing this. He was worried about the lack of manpower, and you said your people are learning how to farm?

Then bring both the people and the cows to me!

"Hurry up and tell me!" After hearing Jia Dongxu's suspense, Yu Yan immediately glared and said loudly.

Then he seemed to react and quickly smiled, "Dongxu, I'm sorry, this is just a bad habit from the past."

"Commissar Yu, I won't be polite then!" Jia Dongxu didn't care and said with a smile, "Send all the people to our village to work, plant crops, grow vegetables, and open up wasteland. It won't take more than a month for us to be able to start our apprenticeship."

"Oh! That's right! Tomorrow morning we will all go to the village to work, and about 300 people will follow us to learn." Yu Yan clapped his hands.

"Okay, I'll work with you for a month. You don't have to worry about our food. When your vegetables are ready, you have to give us several hundred kilograms every day to supply the city."

"Okay, no problem. With so many people, the progress of land reclamation will be much faster." Jia Dongxu said with a smile, "Before you plant the vegetables, I will allocate 10 acres of land for you to plant vegetables."

"Haha, okay!" Yu Yan immediately thought of sending people to learn everything, and then after they learned it, transfer half of the people back to build the farm.

The rest of the people continue to study here.

Why didn’t I think of it before? I wasted these few days.

Yu Yan hurriedly said goodbye to the others, saying that he was going to arrange work.

Jia Dongxu looked at Jia Zhenye and said happily, "Uncle, we are going to have 300 more workers. What do you think we should do?"

"Dongxu, there is so much work to do. The autumn harvest is about to begin, and half of the land has not been reclaimed yet. The greenhouse needs to be built, the vegetables need to be planted, the house needs to be built, the pig house and the canal need to be dug..."

Jia Zhenye counted on his fingers one by one.

"Second uncle, you are really rude. Didn't you say you wouldn't build a canal?" Jia Dongxu said in surprise as he looked at Jia Zhenye.

"300 people, Dongxu!" Jia Zhenye said in surprise, "Do you know how many there are? There are 100 more people than in Jiajia Village!"

"We can finish all of these this year!" Jia Zhenye said confidently, "Don't share the corn flour. Let the women make pancakes with it, and give it to everyone as a snack while they work!"

"Work hard until the end of this year, and start enjoying life next year!"

Jia Dongxu followed Jia Zhenye, who seemed to be full of energy, in amazement, and followed him to Qinjia Village to find Qin Dahe.

Qin Dahe listened to Jia Zhenye's words and said the same thing as Jia Zhenye, "Brother Jia, let's gather everyone in the village and talk about our arrangements!"

"Okay, let's gather everyone now and go to the new house to talk." Jia Zhenye said and walked back.

"Second uncle, slow down. Can't you go directly to Jiajia Village?" Jia Dongxu chased after him.

"Of course not. What will the people in Qinjia Village think? Now we have to put our roots at the foot of the mountain. We can discuss it from now on."

Jia Zhenye talked to Jia Dongxu, and then looked at Jia Dongxu, "Dongxu, why don't you become the village chief? You've saved us another year."

"Everyone can focus on growing vegetables next year." Jia Zhenye said, "What should we do next year?"

Jia Zhenye is a little confused now.

"Uncle, don't worry about what to do next year. After the autumn harvest, focus on making silage. Since the factory can get cows, let them get sheep and we'll raise them!"

"Yes, yes, yes. Oh, there is also the matter of the meat. Oh, Dongxu, I don't have enough ability now. The business is too big and I can't manage it." Jia Zhenye said worriedly.

"Don't worry, there will be a solution." Jia Dongxu thought of what Wang Tongming said this morning, but he couldn't tell Jia Zhenye about it.

When Jia Zhenye came to the village and informed everyone to go to the foot of the mountain for a meeting and said there was good news to announce, everyone looked confused, but they all followed him.

People from the two villages arrived almost at the same time. They were all holding torches, looking at Jia Zhenye and Qin Dahe in front of them, and waiting quietly for them.

Jia Zhenye held the torch and pushed on, "Dongxu, you go and talk!"

Jia Dongxu pushed Jia Zhenye out directly, "You are the village chief, what am I going to say?"

Jia Zhenye was seen holding a torch and smiling foolishly, and Qin Dahe was doing the same.

Jia Dongxu had no choice but to step forward and said, "Tomorrow, more than 300 laborers will help us build the village!"

"There will be 10 more cows working together!"

"We can move to a new home this year and open up wasteland. In less than two months, we will have enough food to eat and get paid!"

"By next year, we will have 20 cows to plow the land, and we will also raise sheep, pigs, and chickens. Every household will have enough meat to eat!"
