After lunch, Xiang Wanwan and Sister Wang went to the fields again.
She plans to encourage everyone to plant this crop of corn, as it is crucial for her pig farm to get started, so Xiang Wanwan attaches great importance to it.
A few days ago she said she needed to dig a pond, and now it's done, and it's already filled with water.
After digging, Xiang Wanwan added some spiritual spring water when no one was around. Now, as long as this water is poured into the ground, it can change the soil condition, and growing crops is no longer a problem.
"Aunties, let's plant corn this time. By the time the corn is harvested, the pig farm will be ready. Then you can trade the corn for meat."
Everyone grinned happily, "Haha, okay! We'll listen to Comrade Xiang and plant corn."
Everyone got to work with great enthusiasm.
Raise the soil, leaving a shallow trench, then plant the seeds in the raised soil, and then water it thoroughly. The excess water will flow out through the trench. This process dilutes most of the salt in the soil.
Xiang Wanwan spent the entire afternoon with everyone in the fields until all the cleared land was planted with corn.
She rubbed her back, stood up, and looked around. The land that had been cleared out was at least several acres. If the corn grew well, it would be enough to raise pigs or people.
In the evening, when Lu Jingnian came home from get off work, he hugged the child first, as usual, before having dinner.
Just as Xiang Wanwan put down her rice bowl, a noisy commotion erupted at the courtyard gate.
What's going on?
She stood up, preparing to go out and check, when Lu Jingnian said calmly, "It should be because of the supply shortage."
Xiang Wanwan understood, "Have we already notified them?"
"Everyone who's at work has been notified. They should go home and tell their families, and then they'll come to ask about the situation."
Lu Jingnian slowly stood up. "Let's go, I'll go out with you."
As Xiang Wanwan stepped out of the house, she saw that the courtyard gate was surrounded by a crowd of people.
Are all the family members from the residential compound here?
She stepped forward and opened the courtyard gate, and everyone crowded in, vying to speak first:
"Commander Lu, are we really not going to issue any more supplies?"
"Is it true? Why?"
"If we don't distribute supplies, what will we eat? Is the organization trying to starve us all?!"
"Yeah, even though everyone grows some vegetables, we can't eat these every day. My family also raises pigs. If we run out of supplies, won't I have to fight with the pigs for food every day? Oh my god!"
"The supplies have stopped, so what are we going to do with the salt we use every day? People can die without salt. And what about all the other things we use every day? Are you going to stop giving us those too?"
"Yeah, Chief Lu, isn't this forcing everyone to die? What's the point of us guarding this island then? We might as well all leave."
The more they talked, the more excited they became. In addition, most of the people who came were women. It is said that three women make a drama. With so many women here, Lu Jingnian had never seen such a scene before. Even Xiang Wanwan was a little frightened.
She quickly stepped forward and shouted, "Ladies, please calm down and listen to me first."
Over the past year, Xiang Wanwan has gained some influence in the family compound, and everyone trusts her.
So as soon as she spoke, everyone really stopped.
She took a deep breath and continued, "Aunties, don't worry, the organization will not abandon this place, nor will it abandon us."
"The organization has considered all the issues that everyone has raised. Let Chief Lu explain them to you in detail."
Everyone then turned their attention to Lu Jingnian.
Lu Jingnian looked at Xiang Wanwan, his eyes filled with admiration.
Then he cleared his throat and began to speak: "First, let's talk about food. From now on, supplies will no longer be provided, and everyone will need to grow their own food to solve their own food and clothing problems."
