Shi Jiankang was working in the field. After the rice in his brigade had headed, it needed to be fertilized. He and other capable young people in the brigade, led by the brigade leader, bought fertilizer.
"This fertilizer is far too little. Our brigade has so many fields, and this amount of fertilizer is not enough."
While fertilizing the rice, Shi Jiankang and his colleagues complained that the amount of fertilizer available was too small, and their brigade's fields were simply not enough.
"There's nothing we can do about it. Fertilizer is rationed, and the team leader did his best," Shi Jiankang said, offering a fair assessment.
"Hey, Health Bro, we know the captain has been working hard."
"With so many fields in our brigade, this amount of fertilizer is really not enough."
"It's alright. Don't we grow giant pumpkins and winter melons on the mountain? Those pumpkins and winter melons produce very large fruits."
Yes, after the leaders took back the large pumpkins, winter melons, corn and sweet potatoes that Chen Suwen had planted outside, they were reassigned to some brigades below for trial planting.
The captain of the Chishan Brigade was a soldier. After retiring from the military, he managed the Chishan Brigade very well and had some connections.
He used his connections to obtain some seeds, and his brigade planted these high-yield crops on both dry land and forest land.
When Shi Jiankang accompanied the brigade leader to meet the leaders, he was quite shocked to see such large pumpkins and winter melons.
And those sweet potatoes are so big, one is enough to feed their whole family of more than ten people for a day.
"Sweet potatoes and other crops also need fertilizer, so we won't have to worry about getting a lot of food."
"If we don't have that much fertilizer, that's fine. We can just take care of these few dozen acres."
While Shi Jiankang and the others were chatting, they didn't neglect their work. They were all very efficient, and by noon they had finished fertilizing most of the paddy fields.
"healthy!"
The paddy fields of Chishan Brigade are located by the roadside. When Zhou Cunzong and his group rode their bicycles over, they saw a group of people working in the fields.
Shi Jiankang was quite conspicuous; Zhou Cunzong spotted him immediately, stopped the car, and greeted him.
"Ring ring—"
Fearing that Shi Jiankang wouldn't hear him, Zhou Cunzong rang the bicycle bell.
When the bicycle bell rang, not only Shi Jiankang looked up, but everyone else also looked up to see who it was.
When Shi Jiankang saw the tricycle, his eyes lit up. He picked up the empty bucket and quickly walked out of the paddy field.
He threw the bucket on the edge of the field, and without even washing his hands, hurriedly ran to the road and circled the tricycle.
"Wow, Ah Zong, is this your car? This car is so cool!"
Men all love cars, and Shi Jiankang is no exception.
"Right? My vehicle is indeed very nice." Zhou Cunzong was very proud; he never expected that his father would make him a tricycle.
He originally thought his dad would make him a bicycle like his mom's, or something similar to his brother's.
The shock he felt when he saw his older brother pushing the tricycle out is still indescribable.
He was very excited, and couldn't help but show off when he saw familiar faces.
"Look at my tricycle, with this front and this cargo bed, it can easily travel a long distance."
"My dad loves me and he got this for me."
Shi Jiankang listened to his boasting, and although he didn't even look up at him, he still nodded repeatedly.
"Uncle is really amazing. You're so lucky to have such a good father." Shi Jiankang gave Zhou Cunzong a thumbs up, satisfying his vanity.
"hey-hey."
Sitting in the back of the truck, Zhou Min couldn't stand being stared at by a young man, even though Shi Jiankang was looking at the truck, not her.
In reality, Shi Jiankang didn't even notice her, but she still felt a little uncomfortable and quickly climbed off the bus.
She sat directly on the back of her mother's bicycle and asked, "Mom, is this Third Brother's friend?"
Shi Jiankang isn't very dark-skinned; he has a healthy wheat-colored complexion.
After all, doing farm work under the blazing sun will inevitably lead to a tan, but he wasn't actually that dark.
Zhou Min didn't dislike this "brother's friend," she was just a little curious.
She was curious how he had become friends with her third brother.
"Alright, kid, stop looking." Zhou Cunzong patted his shoulder. "We came here to exchange some things."
Zhou Cunzong pointed to the peanut oil in the truck bed, "We're planning to trade it for some chickens or ducks. Does your brigade have any?"
Shi Jiankang nodded. "I caught some field mice last time I went up the mountain. I dried them all. Do you want them?"
"Field mice?" Zhou Cunzong was about to nod when Chen Suwen behind him refused, "No need, chickens, ducks, or rabbits will do."
There is a difference between field mice and house mice. People generally don't eat house mice, but they do eat field mice.
But Chen Suwen didn't like it.
Rats carry many germs, have experienced various epidemics, and even the apocalypse, so she doesn't like rat meat.
Especially after the apocalypse, she disliked the trauma caused by those mutated rats.
Those mutated rats even carried more viruses. Even if these superhumans eliminated them, they could only burn them. They couldn't just watch them mutate and grow bigger and eat their flesh.
Now that she's traveled back to the 1970s, her trauma from rats is still there, so there's no need for her to switch to rats.
Zhou Cunzong didn't care; he would eat dried field mice if they were available, but not if they weren't.
