They in the 70s

After the sky completely cleared, the corn and sorghum and other grains that were looted were washed, dried, and distributed to each household.

The busy autumn harvest work that was expected to come to a sudden end with heavy losses came to a close with the sudden flood disaster.

In order to resist the famine that will inevitably come in the future, Wu Changde organized the whole village to go to the fields and high hillsides to dig all kinds of wild vegetables, pick all kinds of wild fruits, and collect all edible things. The large-leaf grass plants were all cut home and dried into grass for storage.

The educated youths also went to collect them, and when they came back, they imitated the villagers to dry or pickle those wild fruits and vegetables, and the more they harvested, the more they collapsed.

I can't imagine how they will feel when they can only eat these dark dried vegetables.

Lu Zhansheng is racking his brains every day to consider how to solve the predicament and avoid the problem of starvation.

After thinking about it, it's time for autumn sowing.

The main crop planted in Shimen Village in autumn is winter wheat, and Lu Zhansheng and Wu Changde had another disagreement on the issue of the proportion of land occupied by sowing wheat.

Wu Changde plans to follow the original model, using half of the land to grow wheat and reserving the other half to plant next year's spring crops.

But Lu Zhansheng thinks that since food is what is urgently needed right now, and the harvest period of winter wheat is the closest to them, they should take care of the present first and plant all the land in Shimen Village with winter wheat. After the wheat is harvested, they will then Plant some summer crops in the stubble fields.

Wu Changde firmly disagreed with his proposal.

On their side, the summer sown crops are generally vegetables and melons and fruits. If they are grown too much, it is not easy to store, and they cannot support food at all.

The farming habits of Shimen Village are the same. The grain sown in autumn and harvested in summer will last for half a year, and the grain planted in spring and harvested in autumn will be eaten for another half year. Although there will be a period of outage in the middle, two harvests a year are still safer than one season. , All eggs cannot be put in one basket.

Lu Zhansheng refuted Wu Changde with the example of the waterlogging that just happened before him. The eggs were not put in the same basket, and the result was still terribly broken?

Moreover, Lu Zhansheng believes that according to the yield per mu of wheat this year, the harvest is no less than that of crops such as corn and sorghum planted in spring. If the other half of the land is planted as wheat, the harvest can fully cover the grain in the second half of the year.

So for this matter, Lu Zhansheng started to get angry with Wu Changde again.

Two days before the sowing, the field needs to be plowed first. Lu Zhansheng refused to participate and resolutely refused to work in the field. He just lay in his and He Zhi's hut and read a book.

used to express disapproval.

Of course, Lu Zhansheng is not reading idle books, he is reading the books on agricultural knowledge left by Xia Shucheng. He has been studying how to improve the quality of land these days. Give them a run for their money so they can be put into service before next season.

But Wu Changde didn't understand this. In his opinion, it was the proud and conceited little Luwa who lost his temper again. Wu Changde was very angry. After returning from the field one day, he went straight to Lu Zhansheng's hut. Scold directly:

"Guawazi! You don't do any work! You just lie in the house! What are you doing! You don't want a grain of food for next year, do you?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Zhansheng immediately rolled his eyelids, and snorted: "The virtue of harvesting food, I don't even know if I can survive this year. Who the hell cares about next year."

"what!"

Wu Changde made him so angry that he suddenly became furious. "What's wrong with your baby's mouth! How dare you slip out of it! You should sew it up!"

"... "

Lu Zhan said it sincerely, here he comes again.

Ever since the food was soaked by the rainstorm, Wu Changde always gritted his teeth and resented him every time he saw him. There was no other reason. It was because when it first started raining, he met Wu Changde on the field and said, "What if What?" Wu Changde thought it was his tongue, said something bad, and then blamed him for no reason.

Wu Changde was an old and stubborn person who thought that way. Lu Zhansheng was not surprised at all, and he didn't take it seriously. He was angry with Wu Changde's attitude in planting winter wheat.

Lu Zhansheng didn't bother to reply and continued to read his book.

At this time, He Zhi came back.

When Wu Changde saw He Zhi, he habitually began to criticize Lu Zhan for what happened, as if he was angry with a child and complained to the child's parents.

Regarding Wu Changde's "complaint", He Zhi usually would not argue. No matter how angry or agitated Wu Changde said, he would reply in a very flat manner: Okay, I will talk to him later.

But today, Wu Changde reprimanded them angrily, and when he finally talked about their differences on the issue of planting winter wheat, He Zhi suddenly interjected: "Secretary, I think you can consider his suggestion."

Wu Changde was stunned, because he knew He Zhi's character, and He Zhi was definitely not a person who would speak up for someone without conscience just because he wanted to favor someone, not to mention that this matter directly affected the livelihood of the whole village.

And now that He Zhi has said this, it means that he has seriously considered this matter and thinks it is feasible.

Wu Changde still trusted He Zhi very much. After being stunned for a moment, he asked He Zhi: "Comrade Xiao He, why do you support growing wheat?"

"The reason Lu Zhansheng has already explained to you."

He Zhi said: "And I estimated based on the harvests of various crops in previous years, and the yield per mu of wheat is the highest."

"But it's too precarious."

Wu Changde said: "If all the land is planted with wheat, if there is a heavy rain next year, the wheat harvest will be completely destroyed."

After hearing this, Lu Zhansheng glanced at Wu Changde. Although he didn't say anything, he raised his eyebrows and clicked his tongue, expressing the obvious meaning: Why don't you sew your mouth shut?

Wu Changde noticed Lu Zhansheng's look, and stared back directly, with an expression of "I'm the same as you, you melon son".

"The end of spring and the beginning of summer belong to the dry season on our side. It is unlikely that there will be such a heavy rainstorm, and even if there is such a possibility."

He Zhi continued: "Wheat is also easier to harvest than corn and other large crops, and the degree of damage will be relatively low then."

"... "

Wu Changde began to hesitate.

"Furthermore..."

He Zhi looked at Lu Zhan who was holding a thick book of agricultural knowledge encyclopedia, the corners of his lips twitched slightly, and smiled, then turned to Wu Changde and continued: "We, Comrade Xiao Lu, are working hard to study how to improve the quality of saline-alkali land. , if it goes well, after the spring of next year, there may not be no land to plant crops such as corn and sorghum."

"... "

Hearing this, Wu Changde frowned and pondered for a moment, then looked at Lu Zhansheng suspiciously: "Hey, you melon, can you figure it out?"

Gee.

The tone was clearly an inquiry, but it sounded provocative.

Lu Zhansheng was quite speechless. He said to himself that there is nothing that can't be researched. Improving the quality of land is nothing new. He had seen it in the newspaper a year or two ago, and it seemed to be a problem in the Northeast. The Agricultural Corps has achieved remarkable results in this regard, so it was reported to the newspaper. At that time, he didn't pay attention to it, but he had a vague impression. Anyway, he was sure that it was feasible.

Since it was feasible, he, Lu Zhansheng, would definitely be able to do it.

Lu Zhansheng hated others to provoke him the most, so hearing Wu Changde's tone, he subconsciously wanted to magnify his words, but when he noticed He Zhi's eyes of reminding and admonishing him, he quickly cleared his throat , and then changed the words that came to my lips. "Well, I'll try my best."

"what."

When Wu Changde heard that he said "try his best", he still had to "try". He couldn't rest assured at all. He decided not to blindly listen to these two children, but to go back and think about it.

After Wu Changde left.

He Zhi went to wash his face, and as soon as he came back and sat down by the bed, Lu Zhansheng dropped the book, pulled him over, pulled him down, and hugged him in his arms.

"Yes, Comrade He Zhi."

Lu Zhansheng leaned forward and rubbed the tip of his nose, and said with a smile, "Now you can support me unconditionally. It's a big improvement."

He Zhi lay on top of him, and adjusted himself to a more comfortable position. "Not unconditionally."

"Ok?"

Lu Zhansheng immediately narrowed his eyes, and said in a threatening tone: "I'm not satisfied with what you said, let's say it again."

He Zhi also smiled after being teased by his expression. "overbearing."

"It's overbearing, what's wrong?"

Lu Zhansheng snorted, then pinched He Zhi's chin, pretending to be fierce and continued to threaten: "You better say it again, say something I like to hear, or I will bite you!"

"... "

Seeing his childish appearance, He Zhi smiled again, and then said: "The condition is that you believe in you."

Lu Zhansheng blinked his eyes: "Oh?"

"You have been like this since you were a child. Once you decide to do something, you will definitely study it to the end. You will never give up until you achieve your goal. You are stubborn and stubborn. So in this matter, I believe you will definitely do it."

"Oh…"

Lu Zhansheng blinked his eyes a few more times, and then snorted: "You are right, but it has nothing to do with being nice, Comrade He Zhi, please pay attention to reviewing the questions, the point is my request, I want to listen It's 'I love to listen'."

"... "

He Zhi smiled again, but didn't speak.

Lu Zhansheng deliberately pouted again. "Hmph, what you said is not only bad, but it also puts pressure on me. Now I feel like I'm carrying a mountain on my back, and I can hardly breathe."

"... "

He Zhi continued to look at him for a while with a smile on his lips, then slowly approached him, sniffed him, and said in a low voice, "I won't talk, can I do it?"

"... "

Lu Zhansheng felt that a certain nerve in him had been picked, and his hand almost subconsciously slid down He Zhi's back.

Stretching out to a soft place and pinching it, Lu Zhansheng felt his body heat up immediately.

"Of course."

He smiled wickedly, then pulled off his shirt, lay back, and spread his hands.

"Comrade He Zhi, please play to your heart's content."

two seconds later...

He Zhi got up and closed the door.
