She gave him a strange look. "Will there be meat and vegetables later?"
Where did this saying come from?
"There are no strict rank requirements for military dependents here, which means they are treated leniently by their families."
We are here, and naturally we hope things will get better and better. But this "better" is not simply about holding the border; it also includes our comrades and our brothers.
Only when this place prospers can we prosper; only by working together can we build this place into an even better place.
Zheng Aiguo's eyes were red; was it because his family didn't want to accompany him to the military base?
He could earn some work points working at home and eat his fill, but here he's just an idle person, earning no money. His allowance alone supports his whole family. Isn't that difficult?
"Political Commissar, really?"
Do family members also receive work points for doing the work?
Qin Qinghuai pretended not to see his red eyes.
“We are the people’s army, and the vast majority of our families are poor peasants. If our troops really make our families do unpaid work, how are we any different from the landlords and rich people of a few years ago? Wouldn’t that be exploiting the fruits of the peasants’ labor?”
Yes or no?
We are a disciplined unit; we can't do that kind of thing.
Zheng Aiguo was on the verge of tears, his lips trembling as he stood up.
"Political Commissar, I... I'll go back and write a letter to my family, my parents, and ask them to come over immediately."
"Sit down, sit down, what's the rush?"
It's not even Chinese New Year yet, so we can't start construction until spring.
"Sit down first. Go back and discuss the details with the battalion commander. Which area should we clear first? We need the tools, right? How do we get the water? How are the work points calculated? Will the family quarters be big enough? Aren't these all problems?"
This was Qin Yi's first time dealing with this, and knowing he didn't understand, he didn't interrupt. However, he couldn't help but ask a question.
"Brother, what's the deal with separating meat and vegetables?"
"If the vegetables can be grown, where will the meat come from?"
Qin Qinghuai smiled and looked at Jian Dan.
"You should ask your sister-in-law. The military garrison there has been raising pigs for the past two years, you know?"
Zheng Aiguo nodded.
"I know they send over a pig every year for the New Year. Could this also be related to my sister-in-law?"
"Sister-in-law, you can raise pigs?"
Jian Dan choked on her saliva and coughed for a long time. She glared at Qin Yi angrily, saying, "What kind of child is this, talking nonsense?"
"What? I raise pigs? It has nothing to do with me? It has nothing to do with me? How did you even think of me raising pigs?"
Qin Yi realized he had said the wrong thing and quickly covered his mouth, looking at Jian Dan Baozao in horror.
Qin Qinghuai gently patted his back to comfort him.
"Don't listen to his nonsense,"
Qin Yi, being both flexible and resilient, quickly begged for mercy.
"Sister-in-law, I was wrong. Please forgive me."
"snort!"
"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, tell us what you think, let us hear it too?"
Qin Yi reverted to his usual carefree and jovial self.
"No, let's worship,"
"Looking at me is useless. I don't know anything; I learned everything from books. But all those books were taken away by your Company Commander Cheng a long time ago."
As he said this, Jian simply shrugged, a hint of schadenfreude in his expression.
There aren't any left.
Qin Qinghuai couldn't help but laugh at his childish behavior.
"Don't worry, your books have already provided us with the technology and guidance. With the right direction, we can avoid many detours when we work hard."
The other two also realized what was happening.
"Yes, sister-in-law, with these books of yours, at least we know what to do first and what to do later. In the past, we could still find people from agricultural colleges or agricultural bureaus, but now, all we have left are a few younger than me. Those with experience have all been persecuted and sent to various places."
Before coming here, Brother Huai had already arranged for people to investigate the situation of those old professors. If they can find a few with your books, then farming here won't be a problem.
He looked over with simple surprise.
"You've already gone to look for it?"
This person really had foresight.
"I didn't think that much about it at first, and I didn't think about this aspect either."
When I contacted Brother Chao before, he mentioned that although this area is sparsely populated, the grain yield is very low. Around that time, I went back to Beijing for a medical check-up. The situation was very tense, and when I saw elderly people being criticized and denounced on the streets, I suddenly thought of this area. Since the yield is low, we should find a way to increase it. This would definitely require talent in this field, which is why I thought of this.
However, perhaps due to the unfavorable situation in various regions, they haven't sent me a prepared reply yet.
Speaking of this, Qin Qinghuai also felt somewhat helpless.
"Moreover, the news that came back is that the whereabouts of those professors from the College of Agriculture, Su Ri'an, are still uncertain. However, after such a long investigation, it seems that someone is deliberately targeting them. So even if they are found, they may be in a remote place. It will probably take some effort to make a move."
However, these agricultural professors aren't exactly experts in scientific research or weapons; they're probably after personal grudges. They'll likely issue a letter in the name of the military region. Everyone knows this area is poor and has low grain yields, so under the guise of increasing grain production, most local authorities won't dare to cause too much trouble.
He simply chuckled.
"Is it because they dare not make things difficult? They would probably have to hand people over with both hands. With the military region's name on them and the issue of food supplies, who wouldn't be afraid?"
What if they refuse to give it to you and then say it's disrupting the national economy and people's livelihood? Who can bear that blame?
Qin Yi also started blindly praising.
"That's right. When Brother Huai makes a move, how can they possibly cause any trouble?"
Zheng Aiguo began to admire Qin Qinghuai again. This time, the admiration was directed at Qin Qinghuai. Who would have thought that the political commissar would start worrying about his brothers' stomachs before even arriving at his post?
