After a bumpy journey, the first thing they did was to check on the fields. It was June, and the grain crops planted in all the production brigades of Gansu Province were about the same. Once they saw the grain crop in the fields, they could tell at a glance what was going on.
Before they arrived, they randomly inspected several production brigades. The seeders were used to plant corn in each production brigade one by one, and the corn was planted at the same time in May. In the other production brigades, the corn seedlings were only about 40 or 50 cm thick. Some of them had dried up and died, while others were growing crookedly.
Overall, the planting situation this month has not been very good.
"Director Chen, how much longer until we arrive?" Xu Yichang asked in a deep voice.
Chen Dajiang led the way, and seeing that the leaders were panting heavily, he slowed down as well. "It'll probably be another ten minutes or so."
"More than ten minutes left?" The man looked pale, not expecting the hill to be so far.
“Qinghe Village has the worst terrain in Xinhua Commune. It is surrounded by mountains on all sides, and the production team is also on the slope. It takes about 20 minutes to walk there from the village,” Chen Dajiang said.
Chen Dajiang sneered inwardly. He's already complaining about being tired after only twenty minutes of walking?
The villagers of Qinghe Village work every day.
Twenty minutes later.
Chen Dajiang led Xu Yichang and the others up the loess slope.
Right before our eyes, it is lush and verdant!
The corn seedlings are lush and green, and they have all blossomed. Some of the faster-growing ones have already formed ears of corn.
Xu Yichang's eyes shone brightly, and he was suddenly struck by a jolt. "Lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets, isn't this it?"
He knew about the previous situation of Huangtupo, but the afforestation was far more shocking than the current scene, with the entire hillside completely transformed.
"This is all thanks to Comrade Lin Yuxi. Qinghe Village is among the fastest-growing areas in terms of planting efficiency. Other production teams probably only earn forty or fifty work points after a month of planting corn seedlings," Chen Dajiang said directly.
He recounted all the construction work done by Lin Yuxi during this period.
Xu Yichang raised his hand, his expression very serious. "Where is Comrade Lin Yuxi? Is it convenient for me to meet her?"
He had considered many things before he came. There were many controversies surrounding Lin Yuxi's identity, and change is not something that can be done overnight. But after he arrived, Lin Yuxi's abilities were far more than that.
The ability to change drought conditions and increase yields is a rare talent, not to mention a water-saving irrigation sprayer.
"Comrade Lin Yuxi is cultivating chestnuts and sweet potatoes; she should be busy right now," Chen Dajiang said slowly.
The man following behind Xu Yichang chuckled angrily, "What? Do you expect us to go see her? Besides, with her status as a demoted official, who's busier than her if she's not working in the fields?"
Chen Dajiang remained silent; he simply refused to speak.
Xu Yichang asked, "Where is Comrade Lin cultivating sweet potatoes?"
The group then followed them down the mountain.
The man felt that Chen Dajiang was deliberately making things difficult for him, going up and down the mountain one minute and the next. If they were down the mountain, wouldn't it have been better if he had just said so earlier? Why did he have to run around like this?
When Chen Dajiang brought Xu Yichang and the others to the adobe house, Lin Yuxi was indeed at home cultivating sweet potatoes. She had cleared out a section of the vegetables in the field to use for cultivating sweet potatoes.
Xu Yichang was surprised that the other party was so young, yet could solve the problems of drought and crop yield, and now even cultivate sweet potatoes.
He asked very politely, "Hello, Comrade Lin Yuxi. I am Xu Yichang, the Secretary of the Gansu Provincial Party Committee. I wonder if it would be convenient for us to talk?"
"Okay." Lin Yuxi nodded.
"I've read all the articles about you in the newspaper, and I've also visited several production teams. None of them have the same planting techniques as Qinghe Village. I want to ask you, are you sure Qinghe Village will have a better harvest this time?"
