Siheyuan: I am different He Yuzhu

Chapter 519 Fields of Hope 2

After hearing what He Yuzhu said, Ji Linhai's face instantly showed an uncontrollable excitement. He widened his eyes, and said with trembling lips: "Deputy Director He, is what you said true? The factory is actually willing to pay for us to settle down here!"

He Yuzhu looked at Ji Linhai's excited expression and couldn't help feeling a little surprised. He originally thought that Ji Linhai would at most show a little happiness after hearing the news, but he didn't expect that the other party would be so excited.

So, He Yuzhu also responded with a smile: "Of course this is true! Our factory's construction of a farm in Xiyu Province is an extremely important plan for the next ten years. You know, if you want this farm to develop stably in the long term, then some workers must be able to settle down here. And in order to allow these farm workers to live and work here steadily, our farm naturally has to help everyone properly solve key issues such as housing."

Then, He Yuzhu paused for a moment, and then continued: "After I have a meeting with the leaders of the farm tonight, I will gather all the workers for a large meeting tomorrow morning. At that time, I will officially announce this matter in front of everyone. What do you think, Xiao Ji, do you have any plans or ideas in your mind?"

"Well, Deputy Director He, you don't know that I came to our steel plant after I was discharged from the army. Before joining the army, my hometown was in the countryside of Sijiu City. My wife is also from our commune. Since we couldn't find a suitable job opportunity, my wife stayed in our hometown in the countryside with the children, and I lived alone in the dormitory in the factory."

"Normally, I can only go back to my hometown to visit my wife and children when I am on vacation. If the factory can really help us settle down here, I plan to go back to Sijiu City and discuss it with my wife to see if we can bring her and the children to live here. In this way, our family can be reunited!"

Hearing this, Deputy Director He nodded and said, "So that's what's going on! But the situation you're talking about still requires me to discuss it with other leaders. After all, if you really want to bring your wife and children to settle down on the farm in Western Region Province, then the farm will have to consider how to properly solve the children's education problems. But don't worry too much, our factory strongly encourages and advocates farm workers to settle down in Western Region Province!"

After hearing what Deputy Director He said, Ji Linhai showed a look of joy on his face, and he quickly responded: "Okay, then I'll be waiting for the good news from the factory with joy!" As soon as he finished speaking, he stepped on the accelerator with confidence, continued to drive the off-road vehicle with peace of mind, and sped forward.

Ji Linhai held the steering wheel tightly with both hands, staring at the front with concentration, and skillfully controlled the off-road vehicle to move forward steadily on the rugged road. He Yuzhu, who was sitting next to him, saw this and slowly turned his head to look at the scenery outside the car window that was constantly receding.

Xu Damao saw He Yuzhu turned his head and looked out the window, and he knew it was not appropriate to disturb him at this time, so he also calmed down and looked forward. As time passed, the off-road vehicle gradually approached the planting area of ​​the farm.

At this time, Xu Damao suddenly pointed to a green wheat field outside the window with excitement, and said to He Yuzhu with a smile on his face: "Deputy Director He, look! The large wheat field outside the car window is the result of our hard work. In a few days, these wheat can be harvested!"

Hearing Xu Damao's words, He Yuzhu nodded slightly in response. Then he said, "Xiao Ji, please pull the car over to the side. I want to get off and check the growth of the wheat."

Ji Linhai moved upon hearing the sound, gently turning the steering wheel in his hand, his movements were skillful and smooth. Soon, the off-road vehicle stopped steadily on the side of the road.

He Yuzhu stretched out his hand to open the door and stepped out of the car. As soon as his feet touched the ground, he subconsciously looked down at the road under his feet. Although this country road was not very wide, it was wide enough for two trucks to pass side by side. It was also very flat and obviously well maintained. Seeing this, He Yuzhu nodded with satisfaction, then raised his head and strode towards the direction of the wheat field.

He Yuzhu slowly bent down and carefully reached out to grab a heavy ear of wheat, as if he was afraid of breaking it by mistake. He gently placed the ear of wheat in his hand, feeling the slightly prickly yet full of vitality. Then, he put his hands together and began to rub the ear of wheat skillfully. As his palms continued to rub, round and plump grains of wheat fell off the ear of wheat and fell into his palms that had been prepared long ago.

He Yuzhu narrowed his eyes and blew gently into his palm. The tiny pieces of wheat bran seemed to be under a spell, floating lightly up and gradually moving away from his palm. What remained in his hand were dozens of crystal clear, plump wheat grains, which exuded an attractive luster like pearls.

Looking at these hard-earned achievements, He Yuzhu couldn't help but smile brightly. He excitedly turned to Xu Damao beside him and said, "Damo, judging from this situation, a bumper wheat harvest on our farm this year is basically a foregone conclusion!"

Xu Damao, who had been watching closely, heard this and hurriedly stepped forward, nodding happily in agreement, "That's right, Deputy Director He! The farm has specially invited several experienced local farmers to come and check it out. They all said that based on the growth momentum of the wheat on our farm, we can harvest at least 600 kilograms of wheat per acre!"

"600 jin per mu? If we calculate based on our farm's 50 mu of land, the total output must be 3 million jin! This amount of food can at least feed 60 people for a whole year!" He Yuzhu exclaimed as he looked into the distance. The endless golden wheat fields in front of him were covered with waves in the breeze, like a turbulent ocean. This scene gave him a strong sense of accomplishment and pride.

"Okay, it's getting late, let's hurry back to the farm!" Before he finished speaking, He Yuzhu turned and walked towards the off-road vehicle parked not far away. The sun shone on him, casting a long shadow, which contrasted with the vast wheat field, forming a beautiful picture.

Ji Linhai drove the off-road vehicle back to the farm's base quickly. After 20 minutes of driving through the wheat fields, he finally saw the farm house. He Yuzhu looked at the green trees around the farm and couldn't help but smiled and said, "I didn't expect you to plant so many trees. When the trees grow up, they will be a good place to enjoy the cool air."

"These poplar trees were planted by Director Zhang after you returned to Sijiu City from the Western Region Province. If you want them to grow into towering trees, it will probably take at least ten years. In addition to poplar trees, there are also many fruit trees planted around the farm. I heard from the locals that the fruits in the Western Region Province are particularly sweet. After these fruit trees bear fruit, you can eat as much as you want." Xu Damao said with a longing look on his face.

"I didn't expect that you, Xu Damao, like to eat so much! You've come to a good place."

When the SUV drove into the farm, some people started to greet He Yuzhu, so He Yuzhu simply asked Ji Linhai to stop the car, got out of the SUV, and chose to walk towards the farm headquarters, greeting people he met as he walked.
