"Okay, is everyone here? If everyone is here, let's go!"

Before daybreak, many people had already gathered in the threshing ground. Team leader Zhao Youtian counted the number of people and planned to lead them out.

Yi Qingqing followed the captain.

Because I am going to visit the farm today to find inspiration for my article, so I am wearing something different than usual when I go to the farm.

He was wearing a dark blue Lenin suit. Although it was an old piece of clothing from last year, it was still in good condition and looked very energetic, but not as eye-catching as a brand new one.

She had two neat pigtails and a pen in her breast pocket.

He was carrying an army green crossbody bag, which was bulging with a water bottle and notebooks.

She was dressed in the most common style of that era, that of an educated person, and the strong laborers who went out to dig canals looked at her frequently.

"I almost don't recognize Xiao Yizhiqing in what he's wearing. It's like... it's like..."

The old man seemed to be at a loss for words for a long time and couldn't come up with a clear idea. A young man next to him added: "It seems like he is a city person!"

Yi Qingqing: "..."

If you dress like a city person today, then what did you dress like before? Wasn't it just a little more plain, catering to the clothing style of the village people?

Yi Qingqing was the one who won honor for their brigade and got their brigade on the newspaper. She was Zhao Youtian's number one target of protection. He said unhappily, "What are you talking about, brat! Little Yi Zhiqing is dressed like an intellectual. Today, she is not going to do hard labor. She is looking for inspiration for writing! Literacy classes will be held in a while. You can all go and study little Yi Zhiqing's articles. They were published in the provincial newspaper. They were so well written that they even wrote about our Xiangshui Village Brigade. Everyone in the commune is envious!"

Yi Qingqing was so embarrassed by the praise, "Uncle Youtian, I almost don't recognize myself anymore because of your praise!"

"Hey, don't be so modest! That article is so well written and touching. I have nothing to do right now as I am on my way. I will read it to you..."

Zhao Youtian was still so excited that he asked his son to buy another copy of the newspaper. One copy was put on the brigade's honor wall for collection and display, and the other was hidden in his arms. In the past two days, he praised Yi Qingqing and her articles to everyone he met, and even read them on the spot.

Yi Qingqing was about to face social demise, and suddenly she felt that her previous decision to submit an article to a newspaper was too hasty.

The road to the farm became extremely long.

Uncle Arita read the entire article of several thousand words, interspersed with various praises for the descriptions in the article and questions from the audience.

Yi Qingqing was forced to answer, and her excitement about going to the farm and seeing a large number of new sign-in places had dissipated a lot.

Even though I felt embarrassed inside, I could only put on a happy face and answered everyone's questions with a righteous look. Along the way, I felt that talking was more tiring than walking!

When they finally arrived at the farm, Yi Qingqing was finally relieved.

The farm land used to be a relatively dry wasteland, far away from rivers and lakes, with many rocks. Its only advantage was that it was relatively flat.

Starting from the 1960s, the first batch of educated youth from Daxing Commune were sent here. Under the leadership of the Party and the government, they began to transform agriculture.

Those who came later also gathered here.

They moved the rocks from the wasteland, carried out large-scale land reclamation, turned the barren land into fertile land, and at the same time promoted the construction of water conservancy facilities and land reclamation.

It took so many people more than ten years of hard work for the farm to become what it is today.

Even so, the irrigation problem here is still a long-standing problem, so every year after the autumn harvest, the lower-level brigades will send people to help dig ditches and develop water conservancy.

The team leader brought the members to the farm and handed them over to the person in charge of the farm. After saying something to that person, he took Yi Qingqing around to look around. He also acted very conscientiously as a tour guide and told her the history of the farm.

Yi Qingqing nodded from time to time and asked two questions. She seemed to be listening very seriously, but from the moment she entered the farm gate, her attention was drawn to those glittering sign-in areas.

Looking around, there are really a lot of sign-in places.

Yi Qingqing took the opportunity of a tour to lead the team leader to walk around the sign-in signs.

[Found the sign-in location at the gate of Daxing Farm. Do you want to sign in at 1 sign-in point? 】

[Found the Daxing Farm wheat field sign-in location, do you want to spend 1 sign-in point to sign in? 】

[Found the Daxing Farm Ditch Sign-in Site, do you want to spend 1 sign-in point to sign in? 】

[Found the check-in location at Daxing Farm's Grain Drying Ground. Do you want to spend 1 check-in point to check in? ]

…

Although there are many sign-in locations, they all seem to be ordinary sign-in locations with only one sign-in point, not the skill sign-in location she is looking for.

"Uncle Youtian, what's that place over there?" Yi Qingqing asked, pointing to the low adobe houses over there across the large fields.

That group of houses looked much shorter and more dilapidated than those on the other side. They were obviously all the same adobe houses, one side was taller and the other side was shorter, located at the two ends of the farm, clearly separated.

But there were several check-in signs on the shabby and low side, but nothing on the other end.

"There," Zhao Youtian looked around and then leaned over to whisper in Yi Qingqing's ear.

Seeing the captain being so secretive, Yi Qingqing had no idea what he was talking about.

However, in order to show that people are here to endure hardships and accept transformation, they created two different houses with the same materials.

Next to that group of houses, the area that looks more spacious is where the cattle are raised.

Cows are very valuable these days. There are many more cows in the commune than in the brigade. They are carefully raised, live well, and eat well.

Yi Qingqing did not have an overwhelming sense of justice, and she only did things within her ability. Fortunately, after a few years, these people finally made it through.

Yi Qingqing is now just envious of the sign-in places over there. The cowshed is also over there, so watching the cows is also a good reason.

In her entire life, in two lifetimes, not counting the ones in videos and pictures, the first cow she had ever seen in real life was the one that the team leader had rushed to pick them up when they first went to the countryside.

However, after asking about those houses, he went to the cowshed, which aroused some suspicion, so he pointed to a few other places and went to look at them first. He also wrote and drew seriously in the notebook he brought, and recorded some interesting things he saw in a serious manner.

Then he led the team leader step by step to the east. Across a field were those low houses, and further on was the cattle pen.

A small path passed by the door of the low house and led directly to the cowshed.

At this time, Yi Qingqing suddenly seemed to remember something and said, "Uncle Youtian, I heard that there are several cows on the farm, male, female, and calves. The cowshed is over there, right? Can I go and take a look?"
