Chapter 54: Spring Returns
Just when the educated youth didn't know what to do, Deng Minghao and three others came out and said with a smile that everyone had misunderstood.
"Misunderstanding? You said it was a misunderstanding, so it was a misunderstanding? We all saw it with our own eyes. You were just fishing here. Aren't you just eating alone?"
Ji Hongjun is tall and big. He looks honest when he smiles, but he is still quite intimidating when he doesn't smile.
He stood in front of Wang Baogen, who was immediately startled and took two steps back.
Ji Hongjun's serious face suddenly showed a simple smile: "You really misunderstood, we are fishing here, but the team leader, secretary and accountant all know it.
We also told the team leader today that fish can be caught in this river in winter, and we have found bait, so we can invite everyone in the team to come and fish.
The captain said he would consider it, but we don’t know what he has considered. If you don’t believe me, you can go ask him.”
Deng Minghao and Shen Yi nodded: "This is all true. If the captain thinks it through, he will probably call everyone over to go fishing with us later.
Although we are fishing now, we are also accumulating experience. When everyone comes together later, we, the educated youth, can also teach everyone how to fish. "
Qin Wan came close to Li Ruolan and said, "So the three of them went to tell the captain this morning. It was you who came up with this idea, right?"
Li Ruolan raised her eyebrows and looked back at her: "Am I great?"
"It's absolutely amazing!" Qin Wan praised without reservation.
Wang Baogen just wanted to teach Li Baoguo a lesson, but he didn't expect that they had already told the captain about this matter. Doing it secretly is different from telling the captain.
The people in the team who were called by Wang Baogen looked at each other, and some of them went directly to call the team leader.
The educated youth all looked at Deng Minghao and his group, then spontaneously gathered around them and stood on both sides with the villagers.
The captain arrived quickly. He was a shrewd man, so he naturally knew what was going on. However, he was reluctant to give in, so he accepted the bribe without realizing it.
Even if he wanted to regret it, he had no way to do so. He could only scold Wang Baogen and then talk about how corn can be used as bait to catch fish.
When the villagers heard this, they immediately became eager to try it out. Some went back to get fishing rods, and some went back to cook corn.
Deng Minghao came over with a playful smile, and was glared at by the captain. He then shook his head helplessly: "I wonder why you are so kind."
"Uncle Wang, please forgive me this time. I have two boxes of Fengshou cigarettes at home. I know you like them, so I'll bring them back to you. Don't be angry."
Now the captain was both soft-hearted and reluctant to give in, so he could only shake his head and sigh, then go back with his hands behind his back.
He was so smart that it was not unfair for him to fall into this kid's hands.
This river is quite large, and at the end of it is an even larger river. It is difficult to catch fish here, so the people in the team started to go fishing on the other side of the big river.
The educated youth did not get involved in the matter anymore. The team leader was willing to show mercy and let them go, which showed that they were sensible.
If they went too far and really annoyed the team leader, these educated youth would definitely be made to suffer, so they went back home to continue hibernating.
They spent the entire month of February in the house. In early March, the weather gradually began to warm up and the snow outside began to melt.
In the second half of the month, they could hear the sound of snow dripping from the eaves outside every day, and the river water began to thaw.
At the beginning of April, the Victory Brigade resumed work, and at this time, everyone had only one job to do, which was to dig manure.
The manure pit for composting in the summer is very large and piled high like a small hill. It has become particularly solid because it has been accumulated over the winter.
You need to use a spike rake to dig up the soil and fertilizer, and break up the lumps of soil and fertilizer.
Of course, most of these heavy tasks are done by laborers, while women like Li Ruolan are responsible for either loading the fertilizer into baskets or transporting it to the fields on carts.
Or they could apply fertilizer to the fields. In short, no matter which job it was, it was very tiring. Fortunately, these educated youth were trained.
Except for the first few days when I felt a little tired, I was able to hold on afterwards.
But Li Ruoju was not able to do it. She had never done heavy work before, and she really couldn't do this kind of hard work when she just arrived in the countryside.
Several times she wanted to come over and talk to Li Ruolan, but Qin Wan, Zhou Shengnan and Zheng Fanghua separated them without leaving a trace.
Li Ruolan pretended not to know and chatted and laughed with Aunt Guihua and the others, and finished the day's work.
After the fields are fertilized, it is time to sow seeds. The main crops grown by Shengli Brigade are wheat, corn, sorghum and sweet potatoes.
I was busy like this until the end of May, when I finally had some free time.
It was a rare day off, so Li Ruolan and the others followed Aunt Guihua to pick wild vegetables, while Deng Minghao went to the town to buy some oil, salt, sauce and vinegar that the family was short of, and also to sell some other things.
The chickens, ducks and geese in the space are edible and can naturally lay eggs. Every time Deng Minghao goes to the town, he will sell some chicken eggs, duck eggs and the like.
This time, he not only had to go to the town, but also had to take a bus to the city, preparing to sell the brown sugar and several hundred kilograms of cotton.
There was another harvest in the space, and the food was enough for them to eat for several years, so there was no need to grow any more food. Deng Minghao and Li Ruolan discussed it and decided to plant two acres of sugarcane and two acres of cotton.
They could make a lot of money just by selling brown sugar, cotton, chicken eggs and duck eggs. Moreover, cotton was the easiest to sell. As long as they put it out, there would be people who would buy it, and the price was shockingly high.
They didn't have a fixed place to go, so Deng Minghao and his friends haven't been discovered by anyone until now.
With spring back on, not only are wild vegetables growing well, but all kinds of trees in the mountains are also beginning to revive. Qin Wan has been going to the mountains very frequently during this period. Every time Li Ruolan walks with her, she can keenly feel that the strength in her body seems to have become stronger.
After drinking too much spiritual spring water, Li Ruolan and Deng Minghao now both have extraordinary five senses. Like Qin Wan, they also have incredibly sharp hearing and eyesight.
Qin Wan's superpowers have broken through to the second level. As her superpowers break through, Lu Yunxiao's legs heal faster and faster.
Li Ruolan knew before that Lu Yunxiao was able to walk, but his leg was still a little lame. Now it is almost impossible to tell that he was a cripple before.
"Lu Yunxiao's leg is almost healed. When do you plan to let him show up?" Li Ruolan asked Qin Wan curiously while picking wild vegetables.
