Time passed quickly and it was soon March. People were sent to dig cassava, and it was time to sow the seeds in the south.
The person who came was the agricultural expert from last time. This time he brought a few people with him. They wanted to dig up all the remaining cassava and transport it to the south for trial planting.
The agricultural expert's surname is Zhao. Expert Zhao and Li Jianguo came to Wenwen to discuss the matter of digging cassava.
Expert Zhao said, "Xiao Wen, the educated youth, I'll need your guidance on digging cassava. This time we're going to make seeds, and we have to do our best."
Wenwen nodded. "Expert Zhao is right. The cassava for seed needs to be dug carefully without any signs of damage. So even if we have to go a little slower this time, we have to do it right."
Expert Zhao agreed: "It is imperative that every cassava dug out is a seed."
"Then I will arrange for the villagers to dig tomorrow." Li Jianguo said
"Thank you for your hard work, Village Chief." Expert Zhao said sincerely.
Li Jianguo waved and went to work.
"Xiao Wen, the educated youth, I've read the information you wrote last time. It's very detailed. It says there will be two methods of planting: inserting poles and burying poles. I want to know the difference between the two." Expert Zhao raised a question.
"In fact, if conditions permit, planting with inserted poles is better than planting with buried poles. Not only is the survival rate higher, but the harvest can also be brought forward.
However, planting with inserted poles requires a cup-like container, no matter what material it is made of, but there must be a hole at the bottom for drainage.
Moreover, the soil in the planting container for cuttings must be loose and well-drained, and the cuttings must be planted in the container in advance.
For example: start planting in the field in March. If you want to plant by inserting stalks, you need to do it half a month or twenty days in advance. You need to cultivate the cassava stalks in a container and plant them in the field with the soil ball in March.
Buried stalk planting means burying the cassava stalks for seeds directly in the soil and waiting for them to take root and sprout in the ground. Sometimes, if the germination rate is low, they have to be replanted, which delays the harvest time.
In the south, if you're planting two crops, it's best to plant them with poles. Try to plant other varieties in the second season, and avoid planting cassava in both seasons. "Wenwen said, then took a sip of water.
Expert Zhao suddenly understood: "That's right! The roots and sprouts of the cuttings are already grown, which means there's no need to replant them. It's just that the cultivation vessels are difficult to get."
Wenwen said: "Nothing is impossible in the world. Recyclable utensils are possible. And they can be used not only in cassava cultivation, but also in many other crops."
Expert Zhao clapped his hands and said, "That's right! Xiaowen, the educated youth, it really is like that."
Wenwen smiled and said that in later generations, this was the most common planting method, and out-of-season vegetables and fruits had become the norm.
We were busy digging cassava for more than ten days, and the remaining cassava was about 40,000 kilograms. Some of them were so big and thick that it seemed a pity to use them for seeds.
But these are none of her business.
Several large trucks came from above and loaded all the cassava away.
Before leaving, Expert Zhao still wanted her to go to the south with him to plant cassava. He had been inviting her enthusiastically these days, but Wenwen had not agreed.
She is very busy now, busy learning Chinese medicine. He Hongchi is also teaching her slowly, mainly because he can't stand her just reading books and learning randomly.
Lijiawan has left a thousand kilograms of cassava seeds, and Wenwen has to find a suitable place to plant them to see if there will be a harvest in early winter.
That day the postman came to deliver the letter. Wenwen knew that no matter what happened at home, his parents would only report good news and never bad news.
But this time the letter was about her best friend Gu Xingyu, and the letter said that Gu Xingyu's parents had problems at work.
Chen Yuelian said that Gu Xingyu was the only one at home in the Gu family now, and she was worried about bringing her home to live.
Now Gu Xingyu said that he wanted to come to Lijiawan to be with Wenwen. Chen Yuelian wrote a letter to tell Wenwen. It is estimated that by the time she sees the letter, Gu Xingyu may have already arrived in Lijiawan.
Wenwen remembered that Li Jianguo said in the morning that he wanted to pick up the educated youth and that some educated youth had arrived.
She also said that there would be too many educated youth to stay in the settlement.
The letter ended with the words that everything was fine at home and asked the brother and sister to take good care of themselves.
Wenwen put down the letter. Gu Xingyu's parents are both university professors. Now something has happened and it seems the situation is very bad.
Fortunately, Lijiawan was doing well under the governance of Li Jianguo. The villagers were simple and honest and very friendly to the educated youth.
What she didn't know was that now everyone in Lijiawan, including the village chief, regarded her as a mascot. If it weren't for her, there would be cassava flour, and people from higher positions would not come to Lijiawan. The cassava from Lijiawan would be transported to the south for planting. In the future, no matter where cassava is planted, the seeds will all come from Lijiawan. What an honorable thing it is.
What's more, the villagers all saw Yu Xunting standing next to the old man on the day he came. No wonder he was able to kill seven wild boars. His identity was different. Anyone who could stand next to the old man and protect him was not simple.
Wenwen didn't know all these. She only knew that the adults and children in Lijiawan were very kind. In fact, this was all the kindness she had sown herself. She often taught the children to read and made delicious food for them. In addition, there was Cancan, the little monkey that everyone loved, so the educated youth site was a place that the children in the village often went to.
Wen Xiao was grabbed by his sister as soon as he came back from outside.
"Fourth brother, Xingyu is coming to Lijiawan."
Wen Xiao frowned: "What happened? Or did you come to see me?"
"Mom wrote in the letter that something happened to the Gu family and that Uncle and Aunt Gu were both sent down."
Wen Xiao approached Wen Wen and whispered, "Little sister, it's just like your dream. It's really chaotic outside right now."
Wenwen nodded.
So don't try to show off, just keep a low profile, just like this time with the cassava flour incident, all of which was contributed to the higher-ups.
"Fourth brother, do you want to go and take a call? Otherwise it will be very late if we wait." Wenwen wanted to see her best friend earlier.
"Did the captain say how many people would be coming this time?"
"I never said that. There are too many people and we can't accommodate them here, and it's inconvenient to eat." Wen Wenchou said, the more people there are, the more trouble there is.
Wen Xiao looked at Wen Wen's watch and said, "It's almost five o'clock. We'll arrive in more than an hour. Let's not go. I'll go pick her up to avoid gossip. It won't be good for Xingyu."
Wenwen thought so too. In this era, only men and women who are in a confirmed relationship will ride a bicycle together.
"Then I'll make more food." Wenwen thought for a moment and said, "Fourth brother, how about we build our own house, or buy someone's old house? There will be more and more educated youth in the future, and it will be inconvenient for us to live together."
Wen Xiao nodded: "Tell Grandpa Yu and the others tonight."
"Okay, Fourth Brother, go light the fire. I want to see what dishes to cook. Why haven't the two little ones come back yet?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Cancan climbing onto Wen Xiao's shoulders.
"Tell me, what trouble have you gotten into again?" Wenwen didn't even raise her eyelids.
Cancan's gesticulating expression.
Wenwen glanced at it.
Immediately, she said in a baby voice: "Lanlan got into a fight with someone!"
