Zhao Wei stood at the entrance of the village, and only slowly withdrew his gaze when the donkey's shadow became a small black dot at the end of the distant mountains.
There were a few drops of wet marks on the coarse cloth that Yunxiu handed over. He wiped his face with it casually, turned around and walked back to the village, but his steps were much heavier than when he came.
When passing by the experimental field, expert Yan was squatting in the field observing the newly planted rice seeds. He wanted to wait for the seedlings to grow out, but there were still a few days left. It was really exhausting to start everything all over again.
Seeing Zhao Wei coming over, he smiled and raised the notebook in his hand: "Look at this bud, it's much fuller than before! When the autumn harvest comes, I will definitely give you a surprise."
"No, it should be the winter harvest. The season is wrong. If it snows too early, the rice may not be able to be pulped and will turn into a pile of weeds. Sigh..."
He actually wanted to say that Zhao Wei was being a little too aggressive. If he wasn't careful, both times the rice seeds would be wasted.
These things were obtained by the two of them through connections and with great effort.
In this era of food shortage, it is really not easy to preserve such a small amount of grain.
Zhao Wei squatted down and brushed his fingertips over each tiny piece of nutrient soil.
The wet straw used on top keeps it moist, and the rice is grown in an earthen kiln. This place is warm in winter and cool in summer, making it very suitable for seedling cultivation.
Suddenly I remembered what Lin Qinghe said before he left - "Medicine is like farming, you can't be impatient or anxious, you have to follow the seasons."
"Comrade Yan," Zhao Wei suddenly said, "We will deal with winter issues in winter. Now we need to solve the problem of sowing. Just arrange it. If you need any help, I will get the whole village to fully support it."
"As for other things," he pointed to the wasteland next to the experimental field, "we will continue to reclaim wasteland and grow other crops, so that everyone can have enough to eat before the New Year."
The man was stunned by these words.
Growing rice is already exaggerated enough, but unexpectedly, Zhao Wei would continue to grow other things.
It's really crazy, he is simply a planting maniac!
Although it is quite bold, as Yue Wei often says, if you do it, there will definitely be good results, but if you don’t do it, there will definitely be no results.
How can people be satisfied easily when living in this world? How can they make progress?
If those who study rice yields are satisfied with a yield of more than 1,000 kilograms per mu, it will be impossible to achieve a yield of 3,000 kilograms per mu in the future.
Dare to think and act while you are young. Don’t be afraid of hard work. Even if you have to work yourself to death, you won’t regret it!
I don’t know how others felt, but after hearing this, the two of them felt their blood boiling.
There’s no point in thinking so much, just do it!
As the two were talking, Erxiao came running over carrying a hoe, with mud on his trouser legs.
"Boss, it's bad. People from Mouse Village have come to ask us for help. They are in trouble now. The wildfire has burned everything in the village!"
"Right now, everyone in the village, young and old, has nowhere to go. Looking around, it seems that only our Yushudun is capable of accepting them!"
Zhao Wei said coldly: "It's gone if it's burned. The person is fine. Let them think positively!"
"As for taking them in... that's impossible. These people are more disgusting than rat shit. If they were allowed to come to our village, I'm afraid many people would be corrupted by them without knowing it."
Erxiao nodded: "Yes, we all think so, and we also told them that we can't take them in."
"But the problem now is that they want to move in by force, and they say they want to stay in our village even if they have to sleep in the threshing ground."
No matter what the reason is, right now, Yushudun is the only place in the surrounding area that still has a lot of grain reserves.
This year's corn harvest at Yushudun was rare and the yield per mu was quite high. Anyway, the large warehouse covering several hundred square meters was full.
The amount of food each family receives is enough to fill their stomachs.
In this famine-stricken era when everyone was starving, such a feat was truly attractive.
When Zhao Wei heard the words "forced to move in", his brows instantly twisted into knots.
He stood up, brushed the dirt off his hands, and his voice was as cold as ice.
"If they dare to step into the threshing ground, we will drive them out with a carrying pole."
Erxiao rubbed his hands anxiously: "Will this be too awkward? What if they make trouble upstairs..."
"Let them make a fuss." Zhao Wei interrupted him, pointing at the nutrient soil in the experimental field, "Our rice seeds are still waiting to sprout, we don't have time to waste with them. Go, reinforce the lock of the warehouse, and have the militia set up a sentry at the entrance of the village, and no outsiders are allowed to enter."
Erxiao was about to respond when he heard a noise coming from the village entrance.
A few people rushed over following the sound and saw a tall and thin man holding a wooden stick, directing a dozen people from Mouse Village to rush in.
"The people in your village are too cruel. They won't even leave us a way to survive. We're staying here and won't leave. Let's see how hard-hearted you are!"
The tall and thin man's voice was as hoarse as a broken gong, and he said bitterly: "We have nothing left anyway, and those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes! Let's see who can outlast the other!"
This is a shameless move that will make me stay in their village.
Zhao Wei picked up the hoe on the edge of the field and strode forward.
The hoe hit the ground with a clang, and the splashed mud fell right at the man's feet.
"I'll say it again, you are not welcome here, get out."
He glanced at the old, weak, women and children who were huddled in the back. "But I can show you a way. In a few days, the relief grain from the commune will arrive. You only need to hold on for another ten days."
The man's face turned red. "Ten days? We can't survive even one more day! We have to live here!"
As he was about to rush forward, Zhao Wei kicked him in the stomach, causing him to stumble back several steps.
"Don't be so shameless!" Zhao Wei's voice suddenly rose. "When you set fire to the village, why didn't you think this day would come? Now you want to beg for shelter?"
These words hit the people in Mouse Village in the face like a whip. Some lowered their heads in shame, while others remained stubborn.
"That was done by the one-eyed man. It's none of our business!"
"Yes! We are victims too! We can't just smear a group of people with one stroke."
Haha... maybe it's like this in other villages.
But they are Mouse Village, a notorious den of thieves, and the people there have been exposed to fraud and deception since birth.
Anyway, as long as we don’t get caught or killed, we’ll just kill ourselves.
It is impossible to expect such people to mend their ways.
Taking them in is like taking in a group of pests, which will bring harm to you sooner or later.
"I know you are all very anxious, but the country has its own laws and the family has its own rules. Even if you want to come to our village to receive protection, you must report to the higher authorities and get their permission before you can act."
