Chapter 181: Building a Greenhouse

Without Xu Lai Di's days in the Youth Farm, there are only two words to describe it.

good!

No one would be sarcastic to them every morning when they met, and no one would take advantage of them when they were not paying attention.

But I heard that the Liu family had a small quarrel every day and a big quarrel every two days.

But everyone can just eat this melon for a day or two, they have more important things to do.

Bought the plastic film.

It was pulled back with a tractor.

The villagers who went to buy plastic film all followed the tractor back.

Then they were surrounded again.

The captain and his entourage got out of the car happily and unloaded the plastic film at the back.

"Captain Lin, I'll be leaving first."

The driver was a young man with a crew cut, dark skin but full of energy, and a military temperament.

Lin Zhen nodded, patted his shoulder and said, "Thank you for the trouble. I'll treat you to a meal another day."

"What's the trouble? I've been very grateful for your care in the past. I have something else to do over there, so I'll leave first. See you another day, Captain Lin."

The tractor rumbled away again, and the team leader came over and patted Lin Zhen on the shoulder.

"Good boy, you are really good. I didn't expect you have connections at the agricultural machinery station."

Several other young men also looked at him with admiration.

Today they went to the plastic factory to buy these films. They spent a lot of effort to buy so much, but the quantity was not enough, so they reserved some from the plastic factory and will have to pick them up in a few days.

The plastic film has been purchased, but how to transport it back is a problem.

Fortunately, there was Lin Zhen. He went directly to the agricultural machinery station to use his connections, and they sent a tractor to deliver the goods back to them.

"Lin Zhenke is really promising. Do you think he will become a worker right after his leg heals?"

"No way, is it that easy to be a worker?"

"But he is a retired soldier. There was also a retired soldier in my mother's brigade who was injured. I heard that the higher-ups arranged a job for him. After he came back, he went straight to work in the steel factory."

“Is this true?”

This news shocked many people.

They are workers, they get paid every month, they have a stable job! How enviable!

These discussions and speculations did not affect Lin Zhen, who was moving the plastic shed with everyone.

However, some people in the crowd took these words to heart.

Deng Chunhua was anxious. That boy was a worker. Such a good opportunity was just right for her son. If his son was a worker, no one would look down on him anymore. Having a son who was a worker made her feel proud. Did Lin Dahai dare to divorce her for that bitch outside?

No, we have to find a way to grab this spot.

It is the wintering season, but everyone in the Ping An Brigade is busy.

Go up the mountain to cut wood and bamboo, sweep snow and dig soil, and build plastic greenhouses.

The young men and strong women all got busy, after all, this required work points to be recorded.

In this cold winter, other brigades are hibernating and have no income, but their Ping'an Brigade can still earn work points, so they are happy to do it.

"Look, even if we don't invest money, we can still earn work points. We don't know if we can grow off-season vegetables. Don't go through all this trouble and end up with nothing. That way, the money will be wasted. It's better to earn work points than to lose money."

Those who didn't invest any money were also happy because they could earn work points. They just thought those who took out the money were stupid.

They are nervous after investing the money, so they work harder, hoping to see results sooner so that they can feel at ease.

No matter what everyone thinks, this greenhouse is gradually taking shape thanks to the efforts of everyone in the Ping'an Brigade.

It is not too high, just the right height for an adult to bend down and walk inside. The frame is made of whole bamboo because Song Wei wants to lay a layer of wheat straw on the greenhouse to keep it warm.

This is just like making a thatched roof, and many people in the village know how to do it.

After the plastic shed was built, everyone went in to turn the soil, some people added fertilizer, anyway, they were busy as hell.

Finally, a total of more than twenty greenhouses were built, each about ten meters long and five meters wide.

With everyone working together, it was done in a few days, and then we started sowing seeds and applying fertilizers.

Song Wei brought a few people who could read and count to record what vegetable seeds were planted in each greenhouse, and asked them to record the growth records of those vegetables in the future.

She numbered all twenty-five greenhouses, and then placed two pots of charcoal fire in greenhouses one to five to increase the temperature, and one pot of charcoal fire in the back five, intending to see which temperature the vegetables preferred.

These charcoals were all burned by villagers who went to the mountains to cut wood. They were basically used for their own use, so it took some manual labor.

"Everyone should be careful when entering these greenhouses where charcoal fires are set. You must open a hole and wait for more than ten minutes before entering."

Although there is usually a small hole in the shed, Song Wei still made some instructions for safety reasons.

Several people nodded.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

These people include educated youth and villagers who have been to school. They have all been selected to be responsible for taking care of and recording the growth of these vegetables.

There are five people in total, each of them is responsible for taking care of and recording five greenhouses.

The team leader promised them a salary of three yuan per month.

Although there are not many, some people are still scrambling to come.

Only two educated youth came, Bai Yunjiao and another male educated youth, both of whom were selected after passing the assessment.

There were three local villagers, and Jiang Xiaowan was successfully selected.

They worked very hard and treated it as a real job.

After four or five days, as everyone expected, the vegetables in the greenhouse sprouted.

When the news spread, all the villagers in the Ping'an Brigade were excited.

People put on their coats early in the morning to watch, and there were quite a few people standing in front of each greenhouse.

The captain had an untidy beard and dark circles under his eyes on his dark face, and at this moment he was baring his teeth in excitement.

This period was the most difficult for him.

Because he was under great pressure and promoted the cultivation of off-season vegetables.

Since I started sowing the seeds, I have come here almost every day to check on the situation. I have not been able to sleep well for fear of failure.

Fortunately, it was successful in the end.

The greenhouse covered with a layer of wheat straw has good thermal insulation properties. Even if people go inside, they can feel that the temperature inside is much warmer than outside.

So those green vegetables that should have grown in the warm season broke through the soil.

There are not many seedlings breaking through the soil now, and they are emerging sparsely from the soft soil.

But even so, those who went in to check it out were so excited that their faces turned red.

“It’s sprouting, it’s really sprouting, hahahaha…”

"It's done. Our vegetables are growing."

Green sprouts have just appeared now, and their growth status is not clear yet.

But this is undoubtedly a good sign for everyone.

The original worries were also relieved a lot.

After that day, the situation in the vegetable greenhouse changed almost every day. More and more vibrant green plants grew on the originally yellow-brown soil.

As time went by, the growth of vegetables in several greenhouses with different temperatures also showed differences.
