Chapter 105: Technician Lin

It snowed heavily during the Spring Festival. Because he had three small children to take care of at home, Cheng Jinghao only visited the homes of Commander Chen and Political Commissar Cao to pay New Year's greetings.

As soon as the fifteenth day of the lunar month was over, Zhou Weihong and Aunt Wu went to Lin Momo's house to help take care of the children.

Several villages near the military zone belong to the Nanlong Brigade, the first brigade to grow rice in southern Tibet.

On the sixteenth of the month, Lin Momo was going to the Nanlong Brigade to hold the first production meeting with the brigade cadres and village cadres from several villages.

On this day, in addition to Lin Momo, Commander Chen and Political Commissar Cao went together, with Cheng Jinghao driving.

From the surface, it can be seen that Lin Momo has the support of the military region behind her.

Because it involved the harvest of each village that year, people from the commune came to listen.

At this meeting, Lin Momo will announce the steps and requirements for planting rice. Only when this is put into practice can she explain it based on the actual situation.

The brigade cadres and village cadres carefully recorded what she said.

"So after you go back, you can first reclaim the land and then start cultivating it." Lin Momo sat in the first seat and looked at everyone.

"I will go to each village to explain in detail how to grow seedlings."

After Lin Momo finished speaking, the commune brought a subsidy from above to the Nanlong Brigade for the first batch of rice planting in southern Tibet.

"Among the several teams, the team with the best harvest shall hand in 10%, the team with the best harvest shall hand in 150%, the team with the third best harvest shall hand in 180%, and the rest shall hand in 20%."

This is undoubtedly a means of incentive. The more the harvest, the more food the villagers can produce themselves.

No matter the brigade cadres or the village cadres, after the meeting, they all waited to greet Lin Momo.

"Technician Lin, I'll be thankful for your hard work in the future."

"It should be, it should be." Lin Momo always kept a smile on her face.

The village cadres returned to the village and began to hold a villagers' meeting.

The planting time for highland barley is in mid-April, so all the labor force now can be used in rice planting.

The villagers and educated youth who were supposed to start working in mid-April now have to start working in mid-February.

These villages were not far from the military area, and many people had seen Lin Momo's trial planting of that one acre of land. If they wanted to work more and earn more food, they were naturally willing to do so. After all, this year's income depended entirely on the land.

But of course there are people who want to be lazy and don't want to work, so naturally they don't want to.

The cadres of each village came up with an idea to unify the public calculation method. The points earned by planting rice were equal to those earned by planting barley. However, if you did not plant rice or did not work hard, the points earned by you for planting barley would be deducted.

On the next day, Lin Momo waited for Zhou Weihong and Aunt Wu to arrive, preparing to explain to each village how to grow seedlings.

Just as I was about to leave the house, Cheng Jinghao drove back after morning training.

"Why are you back?" She was about to push the bicycle out the door.

"The old man was worried, so he asked me to drive with our technician Lin."

The snow had just begun to show signs of stopping, and Commander Chen was worried about her safety on the road, and also worried that she, a female comrade, would be bullied.

After all, it was the first time that rice planting had begun on a large scale in southern Tibet, and there were always people who were unwilling to cause trouble.

"Thank you, Deputy Brigade Commander Cheng, for being my driver." She watched him drive towards her.

He walked up to her and pinched her nose, then took out the bamboo basket behind her back, which contained the rice seeds she had prepared.

"Let's go." He opened the passenger door for her.

The first stop was Dari Village, which was closest to the military area. They often went to the village where the supply and marketing cooperative was located.

When they arrived, the village chief had been waiting at the entrance of the village for a long time. When he saw the military vehicle coming, he waved.

Lin Momo signaled Cheng Jinghao to park the car at the entrance, and got out of the car to greet the village chief.

The village chief of Dari Village is in his forties. “Technician Lin, welcome!”

"This is the village chief Tsering from Dari Village." After all, Cheng Jinghao had been a soldier here for more than ten years and knew these village chiefs.

"Hello, Village Chief Tsering!"

“Technician Lin, Deputy Brigade Commander Cheng, please follow me. The villagers and educated youth who are learning breeding are already waiting for us.” Village Chief Tsering smiled.

"Thank you for leading the way, village chief."

The village chief brought the two to the villagers' committee, the villagers selected by Dari Village to learn from Lin Momo, two girls who had attended high school in the village, and three female educated youth.

Nowadays in places like southern Tibet, few children are sent to school, and even fewer are girls. There are only a handful of girls who go to high school.

Later, Lin Momo found out that one of the girls was the daughter of the village chief, and the other was the daughter of the village party secretary.

One of the educated youth was a girl named He Yu who she had met at the supply and marketing cooperative before and wanted to buy cloth but lacked a ticket.

He Yu saw Lin Momo showed a surprised expression first, and then smiled at her sweetly.

Lin Momo recognized her and nodded at her with a smile.

After Village Chief Ciren introduced Lin Momo, Cheng Jinghao followed him in. After all, there were only lesbians inside, and although his wife was there, it was not a good time this year.

When Cheng Jinghao came out of the door, Lin Momo happened to look up and saw an educated youth staring at Cheng Jinghao's back.

"Then he is my husband, the deputy brigade commander of the military region." She looked at the educated youth and introduced Cheng Jinghao's identity.

The other four girls immediately looked at the educated youth.

"Okay, let's get started." Lin Momo ignored him, her face turning blue and red.

She gave the rice seeds to Dari Village and said, "These rice seeds have four steps to breed..."

She explained in detail the breeding steps and the things that should be paid attention to during the process.

The girls listened carefully and took notes, especially the two girls from our village who actively raised questions they did not understand.

"I'll prepare rice seeds for you. I've already completed the first step of drying the seeds. You can start from the second step when the time comes."

"I will be in your villages recently. If you have any questions, you can come and ask me." Lin Momo said with a smile, said goodbye to everyone, and prepared to go to another village.

"Xiao Juan, why were you staring at the officer just now?" As soon as Lin Momo left, He Yu directly asked the educated youth who was staring at Cheng Jinghao.

She had seen them together at the supply and marketing cooperative, so she naturally knew that they were a married couple.

"Look at me, why are you so excited?" Xiao Juan glanced at He Yu with disdain.

"Comrade Xiao Juan, don't forget what happened to Cao Li. Her case was not a serious one. She will be sentenced for destroying a military marriage." The village chief's daughter is called Zhuoma.

"I, I don't know who they are as a couple." Cao Li's incident made many female educated youth give up the idea of ​​looking for officers.

Xiao Juan was one of them, but when she saw Cheng Jinghao for the first time today, she was attracted to him.

Although Lin Momo revealed her identity just now, she couldn't help but think about Cheng Jinghao while listening to the class.
