Because they live far from home, Xiuhua and Tiedan live at school.
After the four of them finished their meal, the two of them reluctantly saw their sister-in-law and older brother off at the school gate before lowering their heads and returning to their respective dormitories.
When they got to the dormitory and were unpacking their luggage, they discovered that their older brother and sister-in-law had each slipped ten yuan into their pockets.
That ten yuan could buy several meals at a state-run restaurant outside.
Both of them raised their arms at the same time and wiped their tears with their sleeves.
Their roommates, seeing this, assumed they were feeling uneasy because it was their first time away from home, which was why they acted this way.
They couldn't help but step forward to comfort them, and took the two siblings to the cafeteria to get food. The news of their skipping a grade in the exam had spread throughout the whole school.
Unexpectedly, the other party's attitude was so good after a close inspection and conversation.
After dropping her child off at the dormitory, Ning Jing went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy things after leaving the school.
When they returned to Xishan Village, Fu Hongxing's hands were full of bags and packages.
On the way back, Ning Jing told Fu Hongxing not to tell anyone that the reason they went to the county town was because the two children had skipped grades.
The main reason is that Ning Jing believes that the nail that sticks out gets hammered down.
Moreover, in her memory, in the world back then, when bad things happened later on, they were all directed at the teachers in the school.
After hearing his wife's analysis, Fu Hongxing's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately nodded in agreement.
His year of running around wasn't for nothing; the things Ning Jing was worried about were already beginning to show signs of happening in the cities outside.
However, since it hasn't been fully revealed yet, no one has even considered that possibility.
Fu Hongxing was extremely perceptive in that area, and coupled with his wife's worries, he easily recalled some of the ridiculous things he had noticed while he was out on business.
I couldn't help but feel a little irritated. If things got out of hand like this in their county, it wouldn't be a good thing for anyone.
Three months later, the results of the intercropping were evident to everyone: the corn and ears of corn were larger and more plentiful than in previous years.
The soybean plants are all full of pods, and there are far fewer pests and diseases than usual.
During the peak flowering period of soybeans, the entire plant was pinched off, removing about 2 centimeters from the top of the main stem to control the vegetative growth of the soybeans.
After breaking off the corn cobs and cutting off the stalks, Tan Dingguo roughly estimated that a soybean yield of 200 kilograms per mu (approximately 0.16 acres) would definitely be achievable.
The yield of corn is over 500 kilograms per mu, while that of sweet potatoes is over 2,000 kilograms per mu.
This output is not only comparable to that of Xishan Village, but it can even rival the well-known production bases on Party B's side!
However, when this result was reported, it was not particularly eye-catching compared to the exaggerated reports of tens of thousands of kilograms of grain per mu from other provinces.
The achievements of Xishan Village, which should have attracted attention, were simply overlooked.
Chen Daohe was well aware that even if it wasn't related to the exaggerated reports from other provinces, with him around, the higher-ups would definitely not give him the credit for those achievements.
I already knew I'd be eliminated.
However, most of the brigades below successfully intercropped this time, and after delivering the grain, each household still had a surplus.
At least a balance has been achieved, making their county, which originally needed relief grain, now barely break even.
This result is truly gratifying.
