Zhao Wei looked at the thin figures of the men in Ku Shui Village and the rusty farm tools in their hands, and felt like a stone was pressing on his heart.
He looked at Yunxiu, who also looked reluctant, and consoled her, "Yunxiu, you should stay and take care of your brother. Bring them some food later. Take out our meat, cornmeal, and pickles to fill their stomachs."
Yunxiu nodded gratefully: "Thank you, husband!"
After saying that, he turned his head somewhat embarrassedly and ran home in a hurry.
This girl...
This was the first time she called him husband in broad daylight.
The depression in his heart disappeared and he quickly drove to the town.
He was not very familiar with the way to the Armed Forces Department, and he finally found out the way after asking many people along the way.
When he comes to this place to do business, he doesn't need all those fancy words. He just needs to take out his unique certificate, which is his pass here.
After staying in there for a full hour, he finally walked out feeling relaxed.
Just now, under his strong suggestion, they finally agreed to transfer 50 strong soldiers to reinforce the water conservancy construction.
With the help of these people, a lot of time can be saved.
Of course, Zhao Wei had to take care of their eating, drinking, defecating and urinating problems while they were working.
He still has the final say on this.
At present, there are still some vacant houses in this village.
Except for Huangmao, who still stayed in the village and served as Zhao Wei's right-hand man, all the other disciples of Erlaizi moved to the county town with their families.
This old house became idle and was perfect for accommodating these soldiers.
Although Erlaizi and his friends are not in the village, they will come back to help whenever there is something happening in the village.
Therefore, they are quite famous in the village.
The newly-produced food and animal meat were distributed to them on a per-person basis, greatly improving their lives in the city.
Because of the delay, the sun had risen very high and the dirt road was bleached by the sun.
Zhao Wei unbuttoned the top two buttons of his shirt, but he was still sweating profusely from the heat.
However, his work was not over yet, and he had to continue running to the county town.
Unexpectedly, the agricultural supply station in this place was closed.
After asking around, I heard that all the grain varieties in the field had been bought out, and not a single grain could be harvested.
Zhao Wei suddenly became anxious. If he couldn't get the rice seeds he wanted, all his efforts in the paddy field would be in vain.
After thinking about it, he decided to run to the nearby county town.
The car was bumping along the gravel road at the junction of the two counties, and Zhao Wei's palms were sweating as he held the steering wheel.
The roads in this place are too difficult to drive on. This car was originally converted from an abandoned car and is not that sturdy.
With the car shaking like this, he was really afraid that it would be torn into pieces.
But even though he felt a little uneasy, he gritted his teeth and continued driving forward - if the agricultural supply station in the neighboring county did not have what he wanted, he would go to his fellow villagers' homes to look for it.
In order to exchange for rice, he specially pulled a lot of corn and meat for barter.
After four hours of hard work, Zhao Wei finally appeared at the agricultural supply station in this small county town, covered in sweat.
At this time, the door of this place was open, but it was empty inside.
It seems that no matter where you are, this kind of material should be in short supply.
He was about to leave when there was a sudden noise outside the door.
Instead, several dark-skinned farmers came rushing in carrying sacks, with the words "high yield" on the sacks still stained with mud.
"We are from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences. This is the rice we harvested this season. Hurry and store it!"
These people seemed to be a little anxious, so they were a little angry when they spoke.
Seeing Zhao Wei standing there, staring at their sacks, he couldn't help but push him.
"What are you looking at? Do you understand?"
"Don't stand in the way of other people's work. You are such an adult, but you don't have any sense at all."
…
Zhao Wei hurriedly said, "Hello, comrades. To be honest, I am from the village next door. I came here this time to buy rice and try planting it. Would you mind selling me some of this rice?"
"No, this has to be handed over to the national treasury and cannot be bought or sold at will."
Zhao Wei quickly said, "Of course, I understand this. What I mean is that your Agricultural Science Academy doesn't have any extra rice. I can exchange it with you!"
The men were stunned at first, then surrounded him and held his hands.
"Okay, we strongly support agricultural production, but I don't know what you want to give in exchange?"
Zhao Wei opened the trunk of his car and let them see what he brought. Then he said, "We can exchange as many of these things as we can. I am here to help on behalf of people from all over the country."
These people burst into laughter and said, "You probably don't know how to grow this if you buy it. It will all go to waste!"
"You are lucky. You didn't come earlier or later, but happened to run into us at this time."
"It's the off-season for our Academy of Agricultural Sciences right now, so it's not impossible for me to help you!"
…
"Thank you...thank you guys, I really can't thank you enough."
When dusk dyed the sky red, Zhao Wei rushed back with eight bags of seeds and two so-called planting experts.
Unexpectedly, the people from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences did not want the grain he brought. They had only one request, which was to let them witness how the rice was grown in this dry season.
They will come to the fields at any time to conduct experiments to see how effective it is.
Zhao Wei naturally wanted it more than ever.
He was just a dabbler to begin with, but with the help of these experts, he could finally put his mind at ease.
Experts in this era are all extremely capable, and are the leaders and role models in their industries. His luck is truly incredible.
When we were halfway there, the car broke down.
At this time, the car radio suddenly interrupted with news: "Affected by the continued high temperature, the drought in the province has intensified. The agricultural department calls on all localities to do a good job in drought resistance and seed conservation..."
He subconsciously stepped on the accelerator, and the wheels rolled over the dust raised by the road, weaving a golden net in the sunset.
Fortunately, nothing happened. There was not a single car on this country road.
The two experts can't drive, so naturally they can't repair a car.
Fortunately, Zhao Wei can do all these things easily, which is extremely convenient.
…
As night fell, the entrance of Yushudun Village gradually became lively. Women set up stoves and made fires, children carried large clay pots to fetch water, and the old people gathered together, tying up shovels and pickaxes tightly with hemp ropes.
Everyone is trying hard to survive and doing what they can.
