The ginseng fields on the loess slope have all been reclaimed by Zhou Ziwen, so it is easy to deal with.
Just turn it over a bit, sprinkle the seeds and you can start planting.
Zhou Ziwen is strong and is responsible for turning the soil.
Chen Qiaoyi and Shen Zhaodi were not very strong, so they were responsible for sowing the seeds.
There is strength in numbers. After a while of hard work, more than an acre of land was soon planted with vegetables.
After a few days, these vegetables will sprout and grow into seedlings, and you can enjoy them fresh.
Tender vegetable seedlings are Zhou Ziwen’s favorite.
It tastes tender, fresh and delicious.
…
Zhou Ziwen and his wife's friends were happily planting vegetables.
Xishan Farm, Management Office.
The time to get off work here is a little later than Zhou Ziwen and his team.
At this moment, a group of people were queuing up at the management office, handing in their tasks, recording their work points, and then returning their farm tools.
The environment here at Xishan Farm is rather harsh.
As the saying goes, live by the mountain, eat by the mountain; live by the water, eat by the water.
But in this area of Xishan, the mountains are barren and the land is relatively poor.
There is even a water shortage and the annual grain production is very low, so the living conditions of the people here are very difficult.
In order to avoid hunger and cold in winter, everyone works harder in the spring, thinking about cultivating more land and growing more food.
Only in this way can we harvest more food during the autumn harvest and avoid going hungry.
Because they grow a lot of grain, everyone usually gets off work later.
Look, it was getting dark outside and the people on the farm were just starting to pack up and go home.
Today is still pretty good. After all, spring plowing is over and everyone can have a little free time.
If it were the spring plowing period, it would be normal to work until eleven or twelve o'clock in the evening.
In the crowd, Chen Luodong looked tired and felt like he almost had no strength to breathe.
But he knew that he had survived another day.
Originally, he was a teacher at a university in Hangzhou.
Although the salary is not very high, it is better than most but not worse than most.
Plus, I've always lived in the city and have never done farm work.
Although he only stayed here for a few months.
But he felt as if he had been here for several years.
For him, every day of this kind of life is torture.
Looking at the skinny figures of the members around him, Chen Luodong couldn't help but sigh.
He also didn't know when days like this would end.
At this moment, the director of Xishan Farm suddenly came out.
"Chen Luodong, whoever calls Chen Luodong, step out."
Hearing his name, Chen Luodong hurriedly stood up.
"Director, are you looking for me?"
"Yes, there is your letter and package."
The director nodded and motioned Chen Luodong to follow.
Hearing this, Chen Luodong was a little confused.
But he was also a little surprised. He guessed that it must be a letter sent to him by his wife.
After all, his demotion to Xishan Farm was very sudden.
Apart from his wife, his daughter was the only one who knew about him.
But his two daughters are in the countryside, and it is so troublesome to send a letter, so it is probably not for them.
In other words, his situation was somewhat special, so the right to communicate was retained.
Most people here are not only restricted in their movements, but they cannot even contact the outside world.
In name it is labor reform, but in reality it is not much different from imprisonment.
In fact, this Xishan Farm was originally a prison-like place.
The people who come here are a group of prisoners with special identities.
It’s just that his identity is relatively ordinary, so the restrictions are slightly relaxed.
With excitement, Chen Luodong followed the director to the office and received the letter and package.
After receiving the letter, he did not open it immediately, but put it in his pocket and rushed to his residence with the package.
I don't know what's inside the package though.
But judging from the aroma of cured meat that wafted out from time to time, there must be meat inside.
It is better not to show off one's wealth. Although his farm tools have not been returned yet, he no longer cares about that.
I waited for him to return home, put the package away, and then hurried back to the management office to return the farm tools.
Although he wanted to read the contents of the letter immediately, he remained calm and waited until he was done and returned home before starting to read it.
Back home.
Chen Luodong looked outside and found that no one was peeking, then he carefully took out the letter.
After being in this place for so long, he didn't learn anything else, but he developed a cautious character.
Although he also knew that these letters needed to go through layers of review before they could be sent to him, and would only reach him after being confirmed to be in good condition.
But it is always better to be safe than sorry and avoid some troubles.
After making sure that no one was paying attention, Chen Luodong carefully opened the envelope and took out the letter inside.
The content of the letter had obviously been reviewed countless times by the higher-ups. From what Chen Luodong saw, the letter had seals from seven relevant departments.
There are many departments such as counties, communes, farms, etc.
From this we can see how strict the management here is.
It's not easy to receive a letter like this.
What surprised Chen Luodong was that the letter was not sent by his daughter-in-law, but by his daughter who was far away in the countryside.
When Chen Luodong saw the familiar name above, his eyes instantly became moist.
Actually, this letter is strictly speaking three letters.
The two sisters wrote one letter each, and the last one was written by Zhou Ziwen.
As a son-in-law, Zhou Ziwen felt it necessary to care about his father-in-law.
Especially in such harsh conditions on a farm.
A word of concern at this time is worth a hundred words at other times.
He hoped that next time his father-in-law wanted to break his legs, he would be gentler.
Chen Luodong looked carefully at the letter written by his daughter and son-in-law.
After reading the letter, he knew what was inside the package.
He wiped the tears from his face, took out the package, and opened it carefully.
When you open the package, you'll see a variety of dried meats.
There is bear meat, beef, and roe deer meat.
In addition, there are some relatively precious herbs.
For example, a small piece of ginseng, a piece of Polygonum multiflorum, or a piece of Ganoderma lucidum.
Life on the farm is hard, so Zhou Ziwen specially prepared these things to help his father-in-law replenish his body.
After all, life here is too hard. If you want to persevere, you need not only spiritual support but also material support.
It would be difficult here without a good body.
In the letter, Zhou Ziwen also wrote down the dosage and usage of these medicinal materials, and also suggested that he would continue to send them in the future so that he would not worry.
Seeing this, Chen Luodong felt warm in his heart.
I also have a good impression of this son-in-law whom I have never met.
Of course, if he knew that Zhou Ziwen had raped his two precious daughters, he would probably not feel good about him, but angry.
After reading the package, Chen Luodong carefully put the letter away, then picked up the meat again and put it away properly.
These things, whether meat or medicinal herbs, are rare to find.
Not to mention that he is on the farm now, even if he is in the city, these things are not so easy to get. (End of this chapter)
