Someone said, "Yesterday I heard that the young official didn't even enter the village, but was fooled by Luo Fengquan into helping to get fertilizer. I don't think he really got it."

"Captain, that female officer is quite capable. The queue at the county fertilizer plant is incredibly long. People from the neighboring commune say their queues stretch until next month."

Sun Maocheng, who was busy working in the fields, frowned. "What's so special about making fertilizer? It just means that the girl is a little better than Luo Fengquan. Let's stop discussing it and get to work. This autumn, we must not fall behind Caozi Village."

"We don't know whether we will fall behind or not, but we have enough food to eat."

The villagers of Sara Village were looking at the car, and Jiang Tang was also observing them from the car.

I found that they were all holding farm tools and looking at this side curiously.

When the car was about to reach Youtoucao Village, the villagers working in front of the village saw it from afar.

Everyone immediately guessed it was fertilizer, and some people excitedly ran towards the village, shouting, "Team leader, that girl has brought us fertilizer."

"Wow, it's really fertilizer."

"How did she get it so quickly? Wasn't there a long line at the county fertilizer plant?"

"He even drove it here. He's a capable guy."

"It's good to have such ability. Maybe you can really let us have enough food in the future."

"Who was it that made fun of me before? How come in just one day, I've changed?"

"I didn't say that."

"I didn't say anything either."

"Captain, it's really fertilizer. The girl in charge got some fertilizer and brought it to us in a big truck."

Luo Fengquan also became excited when he heard this. He dropped the farm tools in his hands and said, "Quick, push the cart and go take a look."

As soon as the team leader gave the order, everyone stopped working in the fields and swarmed to the village entrance to join in the fun.

Jiang Tang and his friends' car had not yet reached the village when they saw a group of villagers walking towards them from afar.

There were people of all ages, some pushing carts, some holding shoulder poles, it was just like the New Year.

Meng Si Ning was shocked: "A truckload of fertilizer makes them so happy?"

"It's all thanks to your good report that fertilizer is on the rise. Fertilizer is hard to come by these days."

Meng Sining nodded and got out of the car.

The adults and children in the village surrounded the truck with joy on their faces.

Cars were rare in those days, and everyone looked at them curiously. The main commodity, fertilizer, was taken away by trucks.

"Captain Luo, I've got the five tons of fertilizer you requested. Find someone to unload it."

"Manager Jiang." Luo Fengquan gave Jiang Tang a thumbs-up. "How did you get this?"

"Captain Luo, I've facilitated cooperation between the county and city fertilizer plants. Now the fertilizer plant has no shortage of fertilizer. I specifically asked Master Zhang from the county fertilizer plant to help deliver the goods, but he has something else to do soon, so we have to hurry."

"Yes, yes, don't delay their work." Luo Fengquan said to the strong man behind him, "Everyone, hurry up and unload the fertilizer to the fields. Two bags of fertilizer per field. Put them all in place."

Jiang Tang pulled Captain Luo and said, "Captain Luo, don't forget to pay them. A bag of fertilizer is eight dollars and a half."

"Eight dollars and a half? That's five cents cheaper than before."

Jiang Tang shrugged and didn't answer. Sometimes you don't have to say it so clearly, otherwise how can you pretend to be cool.

"Hey, are you a reporter?"

"yes."

After getting off the car, Meng Si Ning went to the outskirts. After feeling the rural atmosphere, he kept observing from outside. He took a suitable photo and was seen by the villagers next to him.

Upon hearing Meng Sining's answer, the villager shouted loudly: "Captain, there are reporters in our village, look."

This sentence successfully focused everyone's attention on Meng Si Ning.

Meng Si Ning had to endure the attention of so many people. She smiled and nodded to them, then looked at her best friend.

In this day and age, the appearance of a reporter means they may be featured in the newspaper, and being featured in the newspaper is a great thing.

Jiang Tang hurriedly explained to everyone, "This is reporter Meng, my friend. She wrote the report about the fertilizer plant in the newspaper. Now, because of the mutual assistance among the municipal fertilizer plants, she's going to do a follow-up interview."

Luo Fengquan stepped forward and shook hands with Meng Si Ning. "Follow up, reporter Meng, and conduct a thorough interview of our village. If you need any cooperation from us, just let me know."

Meng Si Ning nodded and said, "I want to take a picture of everyone working in the fields later."

"Okay, okay. Secretary Jiang, just accompany Reporter Meng. I'll take care of the rest."

Captain Luo directed everyone to unload the fertilizer in a hurry.

After about half an hour, Uncle Zhang was about to leave.

Jiang Tang ran over and stuffed two boxes of cigarettes into his hand: "Uncle Zhang, thank you for this time. I will come to see you again when I have time."

"Okay, if you need fertilizer in the future, just come to our fertilizer factory."

Luo Fengquan was quite tactful. He placed a sack half-full on Uncle Zhang's car. "Master Zhang, these are a little gift from our Youcaoling Village. They are all dried goods from the mountains. Please don't mind."

"Oh, I didn't do anything. You guys are too enthusiastic. Don't say anything. Come to the fertilizer factory to buy fertilizer next time."

"I'll definitely have to trouble Master Zhang in the future. Please be careful on the road."

"Okay, I'm leaving."

"Uncle Zhang, take care."

As soon as the car left, Captain Luo directed everyone to start spreading fertilizer and digging the ground.

There were no machines at that time, and after a season's harvest, the soil had to be loosened manually.

All their good land is in front of the village. Even though it is so hot outside, everyone is working hard.

At this moment, the system suddenly rang

[Ding---Congratulations to the host for completing the mission. The reward is a bicycle, one hundred yuan, twenty kilograms of pork, and ten feet of cloth coupons. The money has been received.]

[Ding - Mission: Help Grandma Huixian earn 50 kilograms of food. Reward: 5 kilograms of beef and 10 kilograms of soybean oil.]

Jiang Tang was delighted.

Meng Si Ning couldn't stand it any longer. Fortunately, there were trees on both sides of the road. She and Jiang Tang stood in the shade and complained, "I don't think it's a wise choice for you to go to the countryside. You have to stay in the village every day in the future."

"Well, I'm going to stay here."

"What about eating and sleeping? What should I do? Are there any educated youth here? They won't let you sleep on a large bunk bed with them. Will you have to work here in the future?"

"Don't worry, sister. I'm working hard. I don't have the energy. I'm going to find a way for them to get rich. As for food and accommodation, the commune gave me a month's worth of money and tickets. I can eat and stay at the villagers' homes, but... living in someone else's home? I can't stand it."

While the two were chatting, Luo Fengquan came over.

Meng Si Ning took the opportunity to ask Captain Luo a few questions: "Captain Luo, how many acres of land do we have in our village?"

“On average, how many kilograms of grain can villagers get each year?”
