After the Earthquake of Rebirth

Although the hot and high-temperature summer made people who kept watering twice a day miserable, the temperature dropped slightly. When the summer was coming to an end, the harvest of potatoes and sweet potatoes set off cheers one after another.

It was also the beginning of the harvest from the bottom of the mountain, but before the harvest reached the mountainside, Ning Qiyan, who lived on the top of the mountain, couldn't help but start to be happy ahead of time due to the joyous atmosphere all over the mountain.

When the autumn harvest really started, Hu Zi, Du Cheng, Bai Chengyi, Zhang Wei and Zhang Pingguo each had a plow, and they plowed in front of each other.After plowing the field, the soil was turned over, and sweet potatoes bigger than a fist were exposed one by one, Ning Qiyan and the others followed behind to pick them up.

Although the sweet potato is not as big as the sweet potato sold in the market before, it has exceeded expectations when it grows so large due to insufficient fertilizer and soil fertility.

It took eight days for them to collect all the sweet potatoes in the mountain depression.Fortunately, it is not yet autumn, and the temperature at night is also very high, so the harvested sweet potatoes are not afraid of cold damage when placed in the yard.

The yard of Wang Yang's family could barely hold the sweet potatoes harvested in their own field, the sweet potatoes of Ning Qiyan's family were placed in the yard of Ning's family, and Bai Chengyi's family piled them directly on the platform beside the cliff where they temporarily lived.

After the sweet potatoes were harvested, there was no rest, except for Ning Xiaowen and Zhang Pingguo who stayed at home to inspect the sweet potatoes and chose some of them for seeding, and the rest devoted themselves to the potato harvest.

The amount of potatoes planted is far less than that of sweet potatoes, but because they are interplanted with corn, they should be plowed carefully. Whether it is the second-season corn of Wang Yang's family and Bai Chengyi's family, or the soybeans replanted by Ning Qiyan's family, there is no problem. time to mature.

When all the sweet potatoes and potatoes were returned, the staff who Liu Jia had arranged in advance to collect the grain also came according to the time.

After the corn was harvested, there were very few people who exchanged grain for credits. Most of them waited for the credits to run out, and then exchanged some corn for temporary credits. They had to keep the grain at home. Everyone feels at ease.But sweet potatoes are different from potatoes. Although both Zhang Pingguo and Ning Xiaowen said that the output this time is far behind the output before the earthquake, the tens of thousands of catties of potatoes and sweet potatoes still made Wang Yang and others who had never planted land before so excited that they couldn't sleep. Sleep.But excitement is excitement, what should be sold has to be sold.It's not that I don't want to keep it for myself, but I don't have such a big place to install it!

In addition to the sweet potatoes and potatoes that were reserved for planting, the rest of Ning Qiyan's family set aside another three hundred catties of potatoes and one thousand catties of sweet potatoes.All others were sold to the government to collect grain, in exchange for [-] credit points.

Two catties of potatoes can be exchanged for a little credit, while three catties of sweet potatoes can be exchanged for a little credit.From the point of view of the replacement price, the government is equivalent to equal entry and equal exit.Whether it is selling or buying, the price given by the government is the same.

In this way, the government is actually losing money. After all, freshly harvested sweet potatoes and potatoes have the most moisture. The same sweet potato will lose some weight no matter how it is stored properly if it is weighed now or two months later.

But for the government, for the country, the account is not calculated in this way.

The bumper harvest in City D does not represent the bumper harvest of the entire country.Even among the places where all the survivors gathered in the country, cities with a bumper harvest like City D are rare.Therefore, without waiting for the city D government to calculate the approximate total harvest, the central government directly issued a request to allocate the surplus grain from the autumn harvest in City D and supply it to cities with serious food crises.

City D's government naturally obeyed the central government's arrangements, but seeing the bumper harvest of their own food, it was obvious that they would not have the confidence to cry poorly with the top in the future, so the leaders of City D also played tricks a little.There is no mandatory amount of food that each household must hand in, or only how much food is allowed to stay.It is up to the citizens to decide for themselves.If you want to sell grain, you can sell it, if you don't want to sell it, you don't sell it.According to the experience after the earthquake, it can be predicted that as long as there are no special circumstances, the citizens will at least set aside enough grain to eat until next year's autumn harvest. Even if there are elderly people at home, they may simply dig more caves or cellars to store all the grain. stand up.

The leaders are not ruthless and only care about their own families, allowing survivors in other cities to suffer from hunger, but their own children are in pain. After this global earthquake, where is it not difficult to live?After going through hardships and hardships, scorching heat and cold winter, the fruits of the hard work of your own citizens with their hands, why can't they keep as much as they want? !

Can't your survivors get enough to eat?It's not my business?Whether it is an order from the central government or out of humanitarianism, I have provided food, at least to keep you from starving to death in the food crisis cities forced by the central government.But you can't still be full, right?

Want more food?All right, let's exchange supplies!Don't say there are no supplies, just steel and iron nails pulled out of the ruins will do!

To put it bluntly, because I don’t know which butterfly in this life has flapped its tiny wings, it has brought a bumper harvest in D City, which was supposed to have no harvest and expanded the food crisis, so the leaders’ eyes have shifted from food to the city that is still in ruins .

The hope of reconstruction is close at hand.

As a small citizen, Ning Qiyan was completely ignorant of the thoughts and plans of the leaders above, but he had experienced a reconstruction once, and he knew that food was the foundation for the reconstruction to really start.On the contrary, now that city D has got rid of the constraints of the food crisis, the reconstruction of the city is about to start.

They desperately raced to harvest the autumn harvest, and then non-stop selecting, storing, and repairing the land.By the time I could finally rest, it was already the end of September.

Ning Qiyan looked at the calendar speechlessly, feeling that it was just a busy meal, and in the blink of an eye, nearly a month had passed, and except for his physical exhaustion, he didn't know where the time had passed.

"I said you have been lying down for a few days?" Dong Wen'an walked into the cave with a kettle in his hand, looked at Ning Qiyan who was still lying on the kang, and said speechlessly.

Ning Qiyan glanced at him, and thought: Who said I've been lying down?He returned to the space to cook three meals a day!

But there is no way to say this, Ning Qiyan looked at it and was not polite at all, just like Dong Wen'an at his own home stretched out his hand on the foot of the kang and found it. Before Du Cheng left, he put dried sweet potatoes for Ning Qiyan as snacks Eat on your own.

"Where's your face?"

Dong Wen'an said while eating with a smile, "Just eat it with dried sweet potatoes."

Ning Qiyan rolled his eyes, then stretched out his hand: "Give me some."

Dong Wen'an gave half of it to him, and squeezed Ning Qiyan in by the way, and sat on it.

"Are you going to lie down like this? Lay down until your house harvests soybeans?"

Ning Qiyan swallowed the dried sweet potatoes: "I'm thinking."

"?"

"Thinking about what is left in stock at home, I will take it out and sell it."

Dong Wen'an: "..."

Ning Qiyan sat up, "I'm not kidding you."

"You sold so much food before, your family doesn't lack credit, right? The materials you can save up to now should be able to be stored for a long time. If you keep saving them, they may become more and more valuable. Don't sell them so early! "

Ning Qiyan shook his head, "I didn't have enough credit points before, and it's about to be rebuilt. When the new city is planned, I plan to buy land near the new city."

Dong Wen'an's eyes widened: "Xincheng? Buying land? Hu Zi joked before that you plan to become a landlord in the future, don't tell me you really think so!"

Ning Qiyan looked at him inexplicably: "Can't you? Buy a piece of land, grow your own food, raise livestock, believe it or not, you can definitely make a fortune?!"

Dong Wen'an didn't speak any more, but began to think carefully along Ning Qiyan's thoughts.

If the government is going to rebuild the city, it will definitely require a lot of labor. Leaving aside the winter when construction cannot be done, if construction is put into use in spring, summer and autumn, given the current climate, it will definitely not be able to take care of the cultivation of the fields. Naturally, every household will no longer be like it is now. The crops are planted and the harvest is bumper.At that time, a large amount of food was grown, so naturally there was no fear that it would not be sold, but if a large amount of food was grown, the four members of Ning Qiyan's family would not be enough, even if they were recruiting, they would not be able to recruit people, right?Except for those who participated in the reconstruction work, why don't other citizens grow their own grain and sell it, but cultivate land for others? !

Let’s talk about livestock, let’s not talk about making a fortune, it’s definitely worth money, but you have to buy it to keep it.

Following the two points pointed out by Dong Wen'an, Ning Qiyan shook his finger, "First, if we can enclose the land for planting, we must first complete the irrigation system. According to the current climate, if the watering is done, then what is really needed There are not many times when there are a lot of manpower and the busy farming period is not much. Temporary recruitment is completely possible. If the wages are sufficient, people can be recruited. If it is not possible, you can also contact the army, and come to help when the farming is busy. We will provide a certain amount of food or livestock in return. Second , I have access to livestock, among other things, you have seen chickens and ducks, and there can also provide piglets and lambs."

Dong Wen'an thought for a while, and had to say that Ning Qiyan wanted to be a landlord. According to him, after solving these two points, there is a great possibility of success.

but……

"Now the whole society is rebuilding. Although your idea is good, do you dare to pursue it a little bit more?" Seeing that all industries are starting, with Ning Qiyan's cleverness and his smooth handling of affairs , can have greater development, as if he intentionally or unintentionally led Wang Yang's family to open a store, even if he doesn't open a store, he can start a business. Since he has access to livestock, he can raise a few pigs and sheep as a Welfare distribution, are you afraid that you will not be able to recruit talents?

Ning Qiyan understood Dong Wen'an's meaning, and understood his ambition under his usual smiling expression.

"Don't underestimate others. There are many smart people. Compared with people like us who didn't have much experience before the earthquake, those elites from all walks of life who survived the disaster will only have greater ambitions. As long as people don't die, Their network is their capital, we can't compete."

Dong Wen'an sneered: "Don't fight, how do you know you can't fight?"

Ning Qiyan squeezed the dried sweet potatoes in his hand, "You think the reconstruction is too simple. Now that our city D has food as capital, even if I don't know the situation in other cities, I can guess that there is no such thing as ours. There won’t be too many cities that are worried about hunger. City D is rushing to rebuild the first batch of cities, do you think the leaders above will be willing to let our city remain a city that is hovering in the first and second tiers like before the earthquake?”

Dong Wen'an didn't say a word, if there is a chance to fight, let alone those leaders, even a small citizen like him also hopes that his city will become a leading city in the country's prosperity and development.It's not about profit or anything, it's pure cohesion and honor.

It seems that many people don't have any special feelings in their daily lives, but once they go abroad, in the environment of direct communication with the outside world, the cohesion and sense of honor of the country will be further enhanced.

This has nothing to do with the class of origin, has nothing to do with how much education has been experienced, it is purely a deep-rooted attachment to the word "motherland".
