Because we had taken precautions beforehand, and because everyone knew that Lin Ying was truly capable, the more people were jealous, the less jealous they became.

"Now let our team leader explain how the work will be done! Everyone, give him a shout!"

Amidst applause, Lin Ying stepped forward.

This time, Lin Ying, as the squad leader, was in charge of the military spouses, the logistics department, and the cooking squad. Including Lin Ying herself, a total of thirty-two people came.

"Let's get straight to the point. I've already observed the area, so we'll start by clearing the road. The first step is to divide the land into zones and plan the furrows. Once the furrows are in place, the dry grass in the fields will have firebreaks, which will make things easier to manage afterwards."

After clearing about five plots, the women were responsible for removing the stones from the fields. The men worked harder, continuing to tidy up the furrows. This continued until about half of the land was cleared.

"As you can see, this area has already been marked with lines, and we've started here as well. Just keep following the lines. If you encounter any problems, feel free to ask."

Lin Ying explained it in detail, and everyone who has done it before naturally knows how to do it.

Soon, everyone took shovels and went down to the ground.

This area was divided into more than fifty plots. Including the irrigation ditches, it took them five days to complete. Afterwards, the canteen's delivery truck and a truck from the logistics department made three trips to transport back fifteen plows and fifteen pedal wheels.

The plows used for tilling the land were also double plows designed by Lin Ying. After getting used to them, everyone paired up and started tilling the land.

"This thing is really great. In the past, the most troublesome thing about farming was plowing. Now it's so easy, it's like playing a game."

"That's right, the key is how fast it is too. Look, this piece of land can be finished by two people in less than half a day."

“It took us five days to build the ridges, but the plowing was completed in just one day.”

"We owe a great debt to Comrade Lin Ying. Otherwise, how could we possibly finish this piece of land in ten days or half a month?"

Normally, the work is very tiring, but now everyone is chatting and laughing while working. Naturally, everyone is very happy.

Because they didn't have enough plows, Lin Ying asked Li Yue'e to help her get seeds. Zhang Shanlin left the seeds at Lin Ying's house.

Some medicinal herbs need to be cultivated into seedlings, so Lin Ying called Li Yue'e over to help her reorganize the plot of land where they grew vegetables, and then divide it into small plots. After that, Lin Ying began to prepare the medicinal solution.

Two drops of well water were added to the medicine solution.

The next day, Lin Ying prepared a concentrated solution, and everyone prepared a bowlful with a bucket of water, which was then sprinkled on the ground to repel and kill the pests.

For half a month, medicinal herbs were finally planted on this half of the land.

After that, they began their attack on another piece of land. Meanwhile, Lin Ying started to consider the problem of irrigating the medicinal herbs.

Their planting area is relatively close to the irrigation canal. However, because the river is at a lower elevation, the water cannot flow directly to their fields. Therefore, to irrigate, they must bring the water uphill. Since the irrigation canals are all downhill, in addition to waterwheels, they also built a separate canal to transport water to the upper level of the canal for easier irrigation.

Not only this half, but the other half of the road also needs it.

Lin Ying's inspiration for the irrigation waterwheel came from the idea of ​​a foot-operated wheel. Because the river was too shallow for a deep-water pump, she had to make a keel-shaped waterwheel. While Lin Ying knew about keel-shaped waterwheels, she didn't know how to actually make them.

Nowadays, due to the special circumstances of the times, it's not so easy to find books on this subject.

Lin Ying handed the problem over to Zhang Shanlin.

The next day, Zhang Shanlin called her over and then took her to the forest farm.

When Lin Ying learned that Zhang Shanlin was taking her to the forest farm, she tensed up. Her thoughts began to race.

All I could think about was whether I could see my grandfather here.

The fact that Lin Ying's grandfather worked on this farm was a secret known to all the leaders. As if sensing Lin Ying's thoughts, Zhang Shanlin took her directly to the 18th Company of the forest farm.

Lin Ying never dreamed that she would see her grandfather so soon.

As she stood there, watching her grandfather emerge hunched over from a simple wooden thatched hut, Lin Ying's tears flowed uncontrollably.

From the moment Lin Ying arrived here, all the news about her grandfather came from Zhao Qinghuai. She naturally knew that he would only report the good news and not the bad. She also knew that her grandfather must have suffered a lot.

However, when she actually saw her grandfather's white hair and emaciated body, she still found it hard to accept.

Lin Tiandong didn't expect to see his granddaughter as soon as he stepped out the door. The moment he saw her, he subconsciously checked himself to make sure there was nothing wrong with him so as not to worry her.

However, seeing her tears, Lin Tiandong understood that he had still managed to make her realize the problem.

Zhang Shanlin, standing to the side, said, "Because what you've done has been a great help to both the forest farm and the farm, that's why the higher-ups decided to send you here. However, this matter cannot be told to me. You only have half an hour to have a good talk with your grandfather. You're here to meet a carpenter. Remember that?"

Lin Ying nodded vigorously, then followed her grandfather into his room.

Seeing that besides the medicinal herbs, there was only a straw mat on the bed in her grandfather's room, Lin Ying couldn't help but cry again: "Where's the quilt I made for you? Didn't Zhao Qinghuai bring it to you? Did he lie to me?"

Lin Tiandong hurriedly explained, "Yes, yes, he delivered it. Don't wrong him. It's just that what you made was too eye-catching. I came here to renovate, and having such a nice quilt in the room would arouse suspicion. Look, it's all here."
