In the countryside, they only have a few days off after taking the final exam, and then continue studying in higher education. They have to wait until the crops are harvested in the fall before they can go home to work during the autumn vacation.

The children live a comfortable life, but Xia Mingshuang is very busy.

After arriving in the Planning Section of the Commerce Bureau, she has been visiting communes and brigades in various places to conduct on-site inspections and formulate various production plans that meet local needs.

Under her guidance, Shen Yunhua, Da Shen and others became more diligent and serious. Those who were originally perfunctory became more serious, and those who originally thought they were similar were able to check carefully.

Because of her arrival, the working atmosphere in the office has changed somewhat, and the happiest person is none other than Section Chief Liang.

His employees are diligent and capable, and he, as the leader, is naturally the biggest beneficiary. He is praised in the bureau every few days, and other departments are very jealous.

The Personnel Department is a little dissatisfied. It would have been better if Comrade Xia Mingshuang stayed in their department. It would have made it much easier for me as a leader.

It's a pity that Section Chief Liang can't let her go. Xia Mingshuang has become the signature of his department in a short period of time, and he still wants to promote her in the future.

Xia Mingshuang has been to several teams recently. There are no problems on the potato side, just weeding, fertilizing and catching insects. The focus is on the silkworm side.

She went to live in Dahe Commune for a few days, and went all over the mulberry fields with He Limin and others. She also ate and lived with the silkworm-raising ladies and took care of the silkworm babies together.

Because of the climate and experience here, we decided to only raise summer silkworms and autumn silkworms this year.

This is the time when summer silkworms are spinning their cocoons, and everyone is paying close attention.

Build a shelf for the silkworms and wait for the silkworms to get on the cocoon. After four or five days, they will all form cocoons.

The people in charge of the silkworm room are the old woman of the brigade captain and the eldest daughter-in-law of Party Secretary An. They are careful, capable, and relatively experienced in labor.

The few young people who had studied before are now working as helpers, and they feel very ashamed.

Officer Xia explains it better than the teacher. When she explains it, all these old women know it, and they don’t need to read or write to understand it!

However, Xia Mingshuang also encouraged them to read and read, even the captain's old woman.

Xia Mingshuang: "You can't just rely on your brain, you have to write it down with notes. If there are written records of the daily inspection and feeding work, not only you will know it, but other people will also be able to check it, so that you won't panic if one person is not there." foot."

If you can't communicate well, it's easy to do useless or repetitive work, wasting manpower and material resources.

Everyone kept saying yes.

Party Secretary An's eldest daughter-in-law smiled and said, "Director Xia, you can stay for two more months and become our literacy teacher."

In the past, communes also organized literacy classes, and teachers went to the countryside to hold literacy classes, but women didn't take it seriously and were not willing to go.

They either go to work or sit around the stove and their children all day long. Where do they have time to study?

Even when they were preparing for inspection tasks, they carried their children on their backs and carried needlework or knitting work. Instead, they went to enjoy the tea and oil lamps at the brigade headquarters.

Anyway, the final acceptance was fruitless.

Now they are raising silkworms with Xia Mingshuang, and they find that Director Xia is really easy to understand, and they are also influenced to want to emulate her.

Xia Mingshuang glanced at the girl named An Xinmei. She originally went to learn to raise silkworms, but she didn't learn well. Now she is shameless and boring, and she keeps making a face. Another person named He Meifeng, who had studied sericulture, stopped coming and went to the commune post office to do logistics related to the activities.

Xia Mingshuang smiled and said: "Isn't there a ready-made teacher? Xinmei is very good, let her raise silkworms while taking classes with you. There is no need to learn anything profound, start with this silkworm raising booklet, and try to make everyone read it Write."

If you want ordinary people to learn knowledge, you have to proceed from reality and not deal with lofty things.

Whatever she does or is interested in, you can teach her.

She is raising silkworms. If you talk about communism or build factories, she will definitely not be interested.

If you talk about raising silkworms, teaching children, managing men and housekeeping, raising chickens and selling eggs, she will definitely like to hear it.

As expected, Xia Mingshuang said this, and they all expressed their willingness to follow An Xinmei's example.

Originally, the brigade was assigned primary school teachers, but the primary school teachers were either educated youths or young children from the village. How could these aunties take them seriously?

They will only be convinced if they are raising silkworms together, or if Director Xia has named and praised them.

Xia Mingshuang also discussed with them whether to hand over the task directly or to process the cocoon before handing it over.

If you hand it over directly, you hand over the silkworm chrysalis and cocoon in one piece. They are fresh and the silk reeling factory will carry out industrial processing.

Industrially processed silkworm chrysalises are technically inedible, but in these days of food shortage, some people still go out and get them to eat.

If they handle it themselves, they can reel the fresh silkworm cocoons directly, and then they can keep the silkworm pupae themselves, which are edible.

After that they just need to cross paths.

For commune members, handing raw silk is actually the most suitable. After all, they also have a slack season in the year. During the slack season, men repair canals and farm tools, and women can reel silk.

You can also get some more protein foods, which is more suitable.

Xia Mingshuang also considered the silk reeling process, so the silkworm chrysalis was given to the members. In addition, the share of the raw silk delivered to the public grain was also larger.

Because reeling is also a lot of labor!

After the members reel the silk, they can reduce the pressure on the silk reeling factory.

The captain and party secretary An don't understand this, so it depends on what the silkworm mothers want.

They rolled their eyes at the two old men and said, "Do you still need to think about it? Of course we can reel the silk ourselves! The silkworm ladies in Jiangnan can reel the silk themselves, why can't we? If we don't know how to learn, we have to do it even if we can't do it! We are no less qualified than others. You can eat with as few fingers as others."

Xia Mingshuang taught them the steps of reeling.

Because you need to cook the cocoons, this step is actually a bit hard, and you have to be careful of burns, but women who work with the stove all year round are not afraid.

After the silk reeling, you can also divide the silkworm chrysalis for the children to eat. What a good thing.

Xia Mingshuang went there several times in a row and watched the silkworm ladies select the cocoons that were left with seeds and let the silkworms pupate into moths to lay eggs, while the others were directly reeled into silk.

Seeing that the silkworm girls had learned how to reel silk very well, she was completely relieved and let them do it by themselves.

To be honest, Xia Mingshuang only supervises them, tells them what they should do and what goals they should achieve, and then lets them try it out.

She can't do it herself!

This is theory guiding practice, and it is also very successful.

When the first batch of raw silk was handed over, Section Chief Liang and others were shocked!

Why is Dahe Commune so powerful?

Last year, after Fang Jinlan was in charge for a year, he didn't see them bring out one or two pieces of raw silk?

At that time, only a few kilograms of silkworm cocoons were handed over throughout the year, and there were still silkworm pupae inside!

If you don't turn in enough tasks, you won't be able to receive public rations. As a result, the Dahe Brigade has to pay extra public rations.

After paying the public grain, there is no food ration, and the people are hungry, and they have to ask the commune to apply for resale food and relief food.

In short, it is very troublesome!

This year has been good. When Director Xia left, the Dahe Brigade handed over the raw silk task itself and paid the public rations, so there was no need to pay extra public rations.

Section Chief Liang sincerely praised Xia Mingshuang: "Director Xia, you are so capable! Do a good job!"

Fang Jinlan felt panicked, sour and spicy, but she still had to smile and congratulate Xia Mingshuang: "Sister Mingshuang, you are so lucky."
