Chapter 53: Sweet potatoes are ripe,
The snow in southern Tibet has finally stopped, heralding the imminent arrival of spring.
That day, Lin Momo, Li He, Liu Qian, and Luo Yumei dug out the sweet potatoes from the greenhouse.
"This may be two or three catties." Li He said in surprise as he looked at the pile of sweet potatoes in the yard.
"I found so many while digging. I didn't expect it." Lin Momo didn't expect there would be so many.
"Mo Mo, what should we do now?" Luo Yumei asked. They couldn't just pile up so many sweet potatoes in the yard.
"Let's take these sweet potatoes and exchange them for land." Lin Momo said with a mysterious smile.
"Are we going to change the field to plant rice?" Liu Qian asked. She was thinking about planting rice.
"That's right. Let's each carry a backpack and a basket and go to the commander and the political commissar to exchange land."
"Let's go." Several people looked at each other and thought it was a good idea.
Li He hurried back to get the backpack, and the four of them, each carrying a basket of sweet potatoes, went to the 깊 Military Region Office in a mighty procession.
"Are those sweet potatoes on your backs?" Lu Xiao's family members asked curiously when they saw it.
"Yes, these sweet potatoes are grown in our Momo greenhouse." Li He said proudly, as if she was proud that the sweet potatoes were grown by her.
"Comrade Lin is really amazing! You can actually grow sweet potatoes."
"Hey, let's build a greenhouse this year so we can have vegetables to eat in the winter."
"Auntie, let's make one. The vegetables in our small greenhouse are growing well." Liu Qian said with a smile.
"Yes."
The four of them chatted with the military families all the way to the 깊 military area and explained their relationship to the guards.
"Momo, guys, you guys shouldn't go in." Li He said nervously while standing at the gate of the military area.
"What?"
"I'm scared when I see the commander and the political commissar." Luo Yumei said in a low voice.
"Just now you said you wanted to go together, but now you're running away." Lin Momo looked at the man speechlessly.
At this time, Cheng Jinghao had just returned from a training with the special forces team and saw four people standing at the gate of the military area with backpacks on their backs, hesitating to move forward.
"Wife, why are you here?" Cheng Jinghao came forward.
Lin Momo explained why she came here.
"Why don't I help you?" He looked at her. He couldn't do this kind of thing well.
"You're busy too." Lin Momo said with a smile. She didn't want to rely on him for everything.
"I'll help you carry it over." Cheng Jinghao took the backpack off her back.
Zhao Zhigang and his men also took off the backpacks carried by their wives.
"Momo, we're waiting for you at the door, come on!" Liu Qian shouted to Lin Momo.
"good."
Cheng Jinghao and others took Lin Momo to Commander Chen's office, and Political Commissar Cao came next door.
“Are they all here?” Political Commissar Cao picked up a sweet potato, which was quite big.
"I still have some at home, about two or three kilograms in total." Lin Momo said.
Political Commissar Cao and Army Commander Chen looked at each other. How could there be so many?
"If we build a greenhouse, we can plant crops in all seasons?" asked Commander Chen.
“So, as long as the temperature is well controlled, it can be used in any season.” This is the same principle as modern greenhouses.
"Okay, okay." Commander Chen and Political Commissar Cao were both very happy.
"Then, can we approve the land now?" Lin Momo asked in a low voice. If we approve the land now, we can quickly reclaim and cultivate the land, and plant early rice in February.
"So he was waiting for us here." Commander Chen and Political Commissar Cao looked at each other.
"Hey, what do you think of the land south of the family compound? It's about an acre in size. You can try planting it first." Commander Chen asked kindly.
"Enough, enough." Lin Momo nodded happily. Then, "Could you two leaders please get some rice seeds?"
"That's no problem." Commander Chen nodded with a smile.
"Then thank you both leaders." Lin Momo bowed.
"We will report the greenhouse and sweet potato planting matter, and we will have to trouble Comrade Xiaolin when the time comes." Political Commissar Cao said that Lin Momo might have to be the expert by then.
"No problem." Lin Momo nodded. This was originally her intention.
"There will definitely be rewards. This is considered meritorious service." Commander Chen said.
"Okay." Lin Momo smiled. "Yes, can you ask the soldiers to carry the sweet potatoes from home to the canteen? Please give the soldiers some sweet potatoes."
Two catties of sweet potatoes, she and Cheng Jinghao couldn’t finish them.
"Let Jinghao handle this matter. Let's add some sweet potatoes to the cafeteria today." Political Commissar Cao asked Commander Chen for his opinion.
Commander Chen nodded. He naturally approved of this matter.
After Lin Momo and Cheng Jinghao left, Political Commissar Cao and Army Commander Chen started chatting.
"Comrade Xiaolin is a talented person. She has grown sweet potatoes in southern Tibet."
"You must write this report well. This is a great achievement. Once you submit this report, we will also create a greenhouse in the military region so that it can spread in southern Tibet." Commander Chen looked at Political Commissar Cao.
"What you said is true. I'm afraid the villagers won't take action if they only rely on Comrade Kobayashi's greenhouse." After all, building a greenhouse requires capital.
"We'll start with our military region, hoping that one day southern Tibet and the entire Tibetan region will be self-sufficient." Army Commander Chen said. After all, transportation has been a big problem so far, and it is also a problem for the country.
"There will be such a day." Political Commissar Cao said with a smile. Cao Kai wrote to say that Gao Yuan had begun to cultivate the land using Lin Momo's method.
If this method can really increase production, they will report it, which will be another achievement for Lin Momo.
When Lin Momo and Cheng Jinghao walked to the gate of the military area, Li He and others looked at her nervously before leaving.
"How about it?"
"Yes." Lin Momo said happily.
"That's great." Everyone smiled happily.
"Which piece of land?" Li He asked.
"The land south of the family compound is more than one acre in size." Lin Momo said.
"I know that area. It's close to the family compound, so it's convenient for us to work there." Luo Yumei said with a smile.
"You go back first, and the others will go back to move the sweet potatoes." Seeing the smile on Lin Momo's face, Cheng Jinghao was also very happy.
"good."
"Momo, are we going to start working tomorrow?" Li He said, the land still had to be reclaimed first.
"Well, let's start tomorrow." Lin Momo nodded.
"That's great."
The four military wives talked and laughed on the road, as if that was not work but hope for the future.
After Cheng Jinghao finished moving the sweet potatoes, he stood at the door of the room, looking at Lin Momo who was reading an agricultural book.
"I don't think I'm worthy of you." He said.
"Why do you think so?" She put down the book in her hand.
"Wife, you are so amazing. You actually grew some vegetables and sweet potatoes here." Cheng Jinghao hugged her in his arms.
"Wasn't it also grown in later generations? We are just drawing on the experience of experts. It's not that amazing." Lin Momo said with a smile.
"In my eyes, you are the most powerful." He kissed her forehead.
"Lao Zhao and the others will go to help with the land reclamation meeting. How can you guys go?" This kind of thing is obviously a man's job.
"Will it delay your training?"
