Captain He is at least half a member of the system. The domestic economy is currently regulated by the state, not the market.
It often happens that lower-level units develop new projects and then are transferred and merged by higher-level management.
Although Bai Guoguo didn't say it explicitly just now, Captain He still thought of this.
At present, several projects of their Red Star Production Brigade are booming, and they are becoming more and more eye-catching.
Not only was he called to meetings several times, but his leaders also indirectly told him to get rich first so that others could get rich, and to pay more attention to the neighboring communes and brigades.
Even Bai Guoguo was targeted. It was because the young educated youth Bai didn't want to move up that he and Secretary Wang of the commune barely managed to stop the outsiders from trying to poach him.
Bai Guoguo only attended the county meeting once. He found ways to postpone the rest and even found an excuse to hide at home for several days.
I have to say this was a wonderful misunderstanding. In fact, Bai Guoguo hid at home for a few days just to be lazy and slack off.
By the way, gain weight and prepare for the upcoming summer harvest.
Combining the novels he had read before with the descriptions of the elders in the brigade, Bai Guoguo learned that every summer harvest, everyone in the brigade would shed a lot of skin.
Because after harvesting the wheat in the summer, the soil needs to be turned over again and then crops such as corn, potatoes, sweet potatoes, soybeans, cotton, sesame, and peanuts need to be planted.
It was really a rush to harvest and plant. The wheat had to be harvested before the rain, and right after the rain, other crops had to be planted while the soil was moist.
It takes about 20 days to complete the work. Even the old farmers who do farm work all the time will be exhausted.
Bai Guoguo felt a little scared when she thought about the situation. She thought, how could she, a lazy person who didn't know the difference between grains, survive?
So she stayed at home these days and drank a lot of spiritual spring water, hoping that she would be stronger and able to withstand this wave of summer harvest and planting.
Not only that, she also sewed four sun hats for herself at home, except for the one that covered the eyes everywhere.
The brim of the hat is made of bamboo strips, and she asked He Gang's father, Uncle He, to make it.
She planned to give one each to Aunt Wang, Aunt Zhang and Li Xiuxiu, and keep the remaining one for herself.
This hat is made of fabric with small floral patterns on a white background, and it looks pretty good.
Captain He also agreed to her request to go on a business trip to Harbin, but it had to wait until after the summer harvest.
The wheat in the field has started to turn yellow recently. The team leader said that it will be ready for harvest in two days.
If you delay, the wheat will wither and the grains will fall to the ground in large quantities.
So now the whole team is preparing for the next rush, those who need to sharpen their sickles are sharpening their sickles, and those who need to weave frames are weaving frames.
There is also a warehouse next to the brigade headquarters that needs to be cleaned up and moisture-proof measures taken so that the harvested wheat can be stored.
The collective canteen of the brigade also needs to be cleaned up. During these few days, each family will not cook and will eat in the canteen.
The team has a good profit this year, and the team leader is going to kill four pigs to supplement everyone's income.
Tractors, ox carts, horse carts, mules, donkeys. These vehicles need to be overhauled and fattened up these days.
Except for the elderly people who are still picking mountain products and drying vegetables, all other work in the team will stop tomorrow.
The team will give everyone a day off, and we will start to get busy the day after tomorrow.
Bai Guoguo was sharpening his sickle at home with a worried look on his face, hoping that sharpening the sickle before the battle would not only make it sharper but also smoother, and at least save him some effort.
Suddenly I heard someone knocking on the door. I got up and opened the door and saw it was Mrs. Zhang.
"Sister-in-law, come in and sit down. What do you want to talk to me about?"
Bai Guoguo quickly let the people into the yard and took out a basket from the well, which contained a cantaloupe and a watermelon.
"Of course I'm looking for you for good news. This summer harvest, you, me, my mother, and my aunt are all members of the food team. You can help in the kitchen instead of working in the fields!"
Mrs. Zhang smiled and fanned herself with her hat. It was really hot and humid in June.
"Really? That's great! I'm still worried about not having harvested the wheat yet. I don't know what to do."
Bai Guoguo happily smashed the melon in his hand with a punch, broke it in half and gave half to Mrs. Zhang.
"Sister-in-law, here's some cantaloupe for you. This is the first watermelon I picked. I promised to let Aunt Wang taste it first. Let's go to your house later to eat. I'm going to your house for dinner again today!"
Bai Guoguo now goes to Zhang's house for free meals and is not at all shy.
Of course, she would often find excuses to send some food over.
She usually ate the food in the space at home, and she hardly touched the subsidy she received as an educated youth.
She would take half of it and send it to the He family, sometimes mixing it with some white flour, rice and other fine grains.
These fine grains were also purchased with the subsidized grain coupons issued.
The food in her space was obviously different from the food of this era. In this era, it was impossible to grind out such translucent rice and such white flour. She didn't dare to show off in front of others.
"What's the big deal? I wish you could go there every day. Mom said she wanted to eat cold noodles today, and I was just thinking of asking you to come over."
Bai Guoguo often went over to eat, and Mrs. Zhang didn't get angry. The little girl was generous to her son and often brought things over.
She can't wait to become sister-in-law to this little girl!
That night, Bai Guoguo had a refreshing meal of cold noodles at the He family. After the meal, everyone gathered together and ate the first big watermelon grown in Bai Guoguo's vegetable garden.
The melon of the Baiguo variety is called Qilin melon. It has a thin skin, juicy flesh, is sweet and fragrant, and is an excellent variety of watermelon.
