The next day, Nie Zheng packed up his things and left.
Liang Qi made sugar cakes, twisted dough sticks, and fried dough sticks overnight, and took some of these easy-to-carry things away.
Nie Zheng also left. There was plenty of food at home, so the two elderly people and one child in the family would not go hungry.
Everyone started watering the land. Liang Qi saw that the land was connected to each other in pieces and had not been divided into small pieces. It was not a good time to water the land in the middle of the day.
"Secretary, why don't you water the fields at noon? This is not good. The ground will easily become lumpy. When you plow the land, it will be dry lumps instead of loose soil."
"Ah, once the water arrived, I didn't think about anything else. I'll notify you later." Li Baogen patted his head.
"Secretary, everyone is in the fields now. Let's notify them to divide the land into small pieces with soil. This way, water can flow easily and can be watered evenly." Liang Qi suggested.
Chen Baoxiang nodded and said, "Secretary, Liang Qi's method is good. The water won't drain away easily, and it can evenly irrigate the entire area. There won't be any issues with some areas not being irrigated due to the terrain."
Li Baogen nodded, and Chen Baoxiang strongly supported Liang Qi's idea.
"Baoxiang, go and make some arrangements. Follow what Qiqi said and till the land first. You can water it before the sun sets in the afternoon." Li Baogen instructed.
Chen Baoxiang executed very quickly.
No one gave Liang Qi extra land, so he was also given one acre. Liang Qi divided it neatly before noon.
Everyone envied him, this guy was really capable.
Liang Qi's feet are now free and no longer bound. In later generations, there is a kind of feet called liberated feet.
It has been a while since I stopped binding my feet. Life has become much easier. It is very convenient to wash my feet every time. I don't need to bind my feet with thousands of layers of foot binding anymore.
Now that my feet are free, I can do everything faster.
After work, Liang Qi has to go home to read and review, and cook for the elderly and children. This is how her day goes.
Today I made rice, egg custard, and pickled cabbage for the elderly and children, and added a dish of soft and tender braised pork trotters.
This is not very greasy, but the elderly cannot eat greasy food, so I added a dish of pickled cabbage with vinegar to relieve the greasiness.
After dinner, Liang Qi watched the three babies at home studying together, and he also stepped up his review progress.
The whole family sat together, Nie Zheng taught little Fenghuang to recognize words and write together, Zhang Guishu was not spared either, Nie Guo taught both the big and small.
Zhang Guishu looked at Liang Qi and her granddaughter studying, and she couldn't sit still anymore. She wanted to follow and learn. She didn't want to embarrass Liang Qi.
When she was young, she envied those who could read and write.
Old Master Nie found out about this and thought that if he could teach one person, he would teach both of them together.
Seeing Grandpa Nie's honest appearance, Zhang Guishu and Xiao Fenghuang sat beside the table very politely.
Liang Qi bought the paper and pen from Yingying.
All three of them now have something to do and a purpose in life.
However, seeing Grandpa Nie's frown, Liang Qi knew that there was something wrong with Comrade Zhang Guishu's homework.
"You threw away everything that has a stroke here." Nie Guo coughed twice.
"Where?" Zhang Guishu looked intently at what she had written.
"Grandma, it's here." Little Phoenix also checked homework for grandma.
Liang Qi didn't care and just read a book. They should solve their own problems.
Two old children and a young child were discussing something head to head on the table.
Liang Qi also hurriedly reviewed as he had to water the fields in the evening.
Prepare the meal before leaving: egg, lean meat, sour noodle soup with臊子.
When Liang Qi arrived, everyone was already there.
The ground looked very flat and neat.
"The channel is open!" The person who opened the reservoir gate shouted, and people on the ground shouted in succession.
Make sure everyone can hear.
Everyone also started using the extra bamboo to open every checkpoint in the canal in the field.
Bamboo is long, soft and can be bent, so it is quite flexible and is best for watering the land.
One person watches the checkpoint, and each person holds a bamboo building.
The educated youth who worked with Liang Qi were Yuan Shijie, Zhang Jun and Wu Guohui, and the four of them watered the fields together.
Gradually, it got dark. Some people took out the kerosene lamps that had been prepared long ago and lit them. They all held the kerosene lamps to watch the ground to see if there were any large holes for drinking water.
Kerosene lamps are all covered with covers and are not afraid of wind and rain.
There is strength in numbers. Every piece of land was watered by around nine o'clock in the evening. This time the land was watered thoroughly.
"Let's go home. There's no problem here anymore," Liang Qi said, holding a kerosene lamp and taking the three educated youths to check the fields.
No drinking hole appeared.
People also went home one after another.
On the other side, Nie Zheng also reported to the military region.
His immediate superior, Brigade Commander Wu Jingzhong, looked at this outstanding young man under his command.
Nie's grandson. When Nie was promoted to army commander, everyone thought that the Nie family would rise, because Nie's son, Nie Zheng's father was already a brigade commander at that time.
But the fact is that the Nie family ended there. Nie Zheng's father and wife died in a battle.
The sacrifice is very ambiguous, and this is a mystery that is difficult to unravel at present.
There are only a few powerful people in the Nie family, including Nie Zheng. At a young age, he has been promoted to colonel with his military merits, and is now the head of a regiment.
He even has the title of God of War.
He had watched this child grow up and witnessed the hardships he had gone through. This transfer seemed like a promotion, but it was actually a demotion.
He was powerless to change.
"This is your transfer order," Wu Jingzhong took out a document from the drawer and handed it to Nie Zheng.
"I've tried to get you to go, but the higher-ups specifically asked you to go, and the time is uncertain."
Wu Jingzhong also couldn't understand why a military leader would be used in such a small place.
Although he was promoted to brigade commander, there were not many soldiers for him to use. I heard that they were all veteran soldiers from various units.
Very difficult to manage.
"A soldier's duty is to obey orders," Nie Zheng said in a strong voice.
He quite likes to stay away from places like Kyoto.
This way you can also bring your family there and listen to their own advice.
Song Feng was not in a hurry to get going. He just waited until everything was ready and then followed the east wind.
"Are you willing, kid?" Wu Jingzhong said with some regret.
"I've been promoted. Why should I be unwilling? Instead, I should thank all the leaders." Nie Zheng said righteously.
Wu Jingzhong was also a little confused by Nie Zheng's attitude. Could it be that this kid was stimulated and became stupid?
"Okay, then you should get ready. You have a month-long study," Wu Jingzhong waved his hand and let Nie Zheng pack up by himself.
"Thank you, leader. I'll go and prepare." Nie Zheng saluted upright.
"Alas," Wu Jingzhong looked at the distant background with a little melancholy. This was his best soldier, and he was demoted to such a far place.
Children from the north have to adapt to the south.
Nie Zheng went out, took the things in his hand, and went to the office to pack his things with an expressionless face.
