Time passed quickly after the New Year, and even spring came earlier than in previous years.
It snowed for two days after the Chinese New Year, but it stopped before it could moisten the ground.
The weather is getting warmer day by day, and the green on the back mountain is becoming more visibly green.
On the one hand, everyone was happy that they could go up the mountain to dig wild vegetables and consume less food.
On the other hand, I am worried that there won’t be enough rain today, and I’m afraid this year’s harvest will not be as good as last year’s.
No matter how worried you are, you still have to plant in the spring.
Jiang Mengxue has submitted her suspension application this year, but her superiors have a few months to find someone to replace her.
As for Gu Yuyan, she has a chance to be admitted to the commune health center this year.
Jiang Mengxue has heard that the health center has expansion plans and will recruit at least five to ten people. The specific number will depend on the actual situation.
Even if we are short of people, we won’t hire ten people. We won’t hire people who don’t have the opportunity knowledge and don’t know anything about the profession. We all have work to do, so who has the time to teach you?
Fortunately, Gu Yuyan did not stop reading. The exam for a small clinic should not be difficult for her.
After the Chinese New Year, Jiang Mengxue kept an eye on the situation in the city. She wanted to know whether the food had any effect.
However, although no news has been released, the supply in the grain store has never been interrupted. At least everyone can buy the monthly supply of grain.
Now Jiang Mengxue doesn’t have to worry anymore.
Later, she secretly went to the city twice. In addition to the black market transactions that continued, she also put grain into the grain storage warehouse twice.
It all happened secretly at night, so even if there were patrols outside, they wouldn't know.
But when they opened it to check the next day, it was full of food again.
Those people were shocked as if they had seen a ghost, but the superiors required strict confidentiality of the matter. The relevant personnel were also locked up and questioned individually, and signed a confidentiality agreement.
There is no way this matter could be made public.
They say it is to avoid panic in the outside world, but in fact they are also worried that everyone will engage in feudal superstitions.
As long as this batch of grain is used where it should be used, there will be no further attention paid to it.
Gu Qingbei also put grain into the national grain storage warehouses in various provincial cities.
I don’t know if the country had anticipated this, but every night the patrols outside the granary were very far away, at least they would not get close to the granary.
In addition, Gu Qingbei can now act with his mind, which saves a lot of trouble.
The two were also worried that the country would step up its investigation into this matter, so they rarely used the space except when necessary.
I plan to stop when the natural disaster situation improves in the next two years and food is not so scarce.
After the Chinese New Year, there was still no rain and the weather was getting hotter.
The water level in the river is dropping day by day. If there is no more rain, it will be a problem for everyone to get water.
Not to mention watering the fields, crops won’t grow without water.
So everyone started to worry again, fearing that the water in the river would not last long.
What's more, with so much land, how can we rely solely on manpower to water it? Even if we work ourselves to death, we still can't do it.
The team was discussing digging a well in the field and looking for someone to survey the location for the well.
Jiang Mengxue didn't understand this. Although there were relevant books in the space, after all, the relevant professional knowledge only required professionals to understand it, so she decided not to join in the fun.
It was a rare opportunity that she didn't have to take care of the children, so Jiang Mengxue planned to go up the mountain to see if the spring water on the mountain had dried up. If it did, at least everyone wouldn't have to worry about eating and drinking water.
There was nothing at the foot of the mountain, not even a single wild vegetable, as they had long been dug up by the children and women in the team.
However, the further you go up the mountain, the greener the scenery becomes, and the more wild vegetables there are.
But she seldom eats these and has no interest in digging them.
There are no wild fruits now. If you want to pick them, you have to wait until September or October in autumn.
Moreover, due to the lack of sunlight in the mountains, many things mature a little later.
The further she walked in, the more uneasy she felt. It wasn't the first time Jiang Mengxue had been up the mountain, but this was the first time she had felt it was so quiet.
Even Dahei and the others felt insecure walking beside them.
After walking for half a day, we didn't see any larger prey, let alone a pheasant or rabbit.
Occasionally a few birds flew overhead, reminding her that there were still living things in this forest.
I arrived at the spring mouth with trepidation. Fortunately, there was still a lot of water here and the water level did not drop.
However, this place is too far from the foot of the mountain, so it is not very convenient to fetch water.
But it is not very convenient to bring water to the foot of the mountain. It requires a very long pipe and the cost is too high.
But as long as there is water, there is no need to worry too much. The worst that can happen is that you will just be a little tired.
He took Dahei around and made sure there was no danger here before stopping.
If we go further, we will be close to the mountains, where there are wild boars, tigers and bears, which are extremely dangerous to humans.
However, as long as the animals don't come down the mountain and don't encounter humans, everyone can live in peace by keeping a relative distance.
I’m worried that the people living down the mountain will have nothing to eat and will try to prey on the animals in the mountains. Or the animals in the mountains will run out of food and will want to come down the mountain to look for food. That will be troublesome.
When I returned to the foot of the mountain empty-handed, I saw a lot of people gathered by the river, all talking about something.
"What should we do? We can't borrow a water pump, so we can only carry water manually.
In the past, when there was a lot of water, we could just dig ditches along the edge of the fields to let the water in. But looking at the current water level in the river, it's impossible for the water to flow through."
"Didn't they say it would take two days for one team? The worst that can happen is we can just wait two days."
"What are you thinking? How many brigades are there in our commune? How do you know we'll be the next one? If we wait ten days or half a month, won't the seedlings in our fields die?"
Everyone was upset, and they didn't want to have to water the plants manually. The skin on my shoulders was all broken after a day of work.
An honest man was looking at the endless crop seedlings in the field. For farmers who depend on the weather for their livelihood, being tired was nothing, but seeing any problems with the seedlings was a life-threatening situation.
"If not, we can only water the crops ourselves. There's no point in wasting time complaining here, and it only delays things we do in the fields.
How about we do it first, and then if we can borrow it later that would be great, but if we can't borrow it we can't just sit there and wait, given the situation this year, we can't afford to delay."
Most people agreed with this statement. The man who spoke first wanted to refute a few words, but Gu Zhenxing spoke before him.
"Yes, let's finish the work first. The Party Secretary and I will go to the commune again to see if we can use it first. Even if it's just for one day, it will save us a lot of trouble."
After saying that, he asked the production team leader to take his men to work first.
After listening to this, Jiang Mengxue went back without letting Gu Zhenxing see her.
