"Doctor Yang, you basically don't have to worry about the fruit trees anymore. You just need to arrange for someone to water them regularly.
Now that the riverbed has been turned over, when do you think it would be a good time to plant sunflowers?"
In fact, Chen Baiwang and Chen Dahe have been farming for most of their lives, so how could they not know when to plant sunflowers!
The reason for asking this was actually to subtly remind Yang Baiyi that it was time to plant sunflowers.
"I've almost soaked the seeds, so they should be ready to plant tomorrow."
Yang Baiyi brought the two of them to the yard and pointed to a large vat placed in the corner of the wall.
"It's indeed soaked and ready. Tomorrow I'll arrange for the members to plant sunflowers."
The water tank is full of sunflower seeds. After being soaked in clean water and stimulated by the wood-type supernatural power, the sunflower seeds have sprouted and pushed open the shells.
The next day, the riverbank was bustling with activity again. Everyone was working and laughing.
These sunflowers and the fruit trees planted two days ago are all guarantees for their increased income.
Farmers have simple ideas. As long as they can have enough food and clothing and live a good life, they don't mind working hard at all.
After the sunflower seeds were planted, tender sprouts quickly broke through the soil, and the whole place flourished.
With wood energy as base fertilizer, fruit tree seedlings and sunflowers grow rapidly, changing every day.
It’s still the same planting method, still the same watering and fertilizing, but the sunflowers on the riverbank grow much faster than those in the members’ vegetable gardens.
Unable to think of any other reason, the members attributed all the credit to the good seeds brought by Yang Baiyi.
Yang Baiyi and Xiao Fuxing took some time to go to the county town and sold some meat and food to Heihu in exchange for a few thousand yuan and two bicycle tickets.
In the 1970s, bicycles were no longer in short supply. I went to a department store and bought two Forever brand bicycles very easily. I then went to the police station to have them stamped.
We set off early the next morning and rode for a whole morning before we arrived in town.
When they arrived at the state-owned restaurant in town to eat, Xiao Fuxing almost fell down as soon as he got out of the car.
"Are you okay, uncle?"
Yang Baiyi was quick-witted and quickly stretched out a hand to support him.
"It's okay. I've been kicking for too long and my legs are a bit out of control."
After parking the bicycle, Yang Baiyi helped the trembling Xiao Fuxing into the state-owned hotel.
I ordered a pot-fried pork, a small pheasant stewed with mushrooms, and a few steamed buns.
After finding an empty table, Xiao Fuxing just sat down and gasped in pain.
"I'd better eat while standing. My tailbone hurts when I sit on a stool."
After riding his bike for a whole morning, Xiao Fuxing was exhausted and felt more tired than doing a whole day's work.
"You didn't tell me halfway through. We can take a break and then continue riding!"
Yang Baiyi was both angry and amused. We were all family, so if you were tired, just talk. What was there to be embarrassed about?
It was also his fault that he wasn't careful enough and ignored the fact that Xiao Fuxing's physique was completely different from his own.
After dinner, Xiao Fuxing had basically recovered, and the two of them rode their bicycles back home.
When they arrived at Chenjiatun, they added two bicycles at once. After being promoted by the Information Exchange Center, it became big news known to everyone.
Members who have a good relationship with Yang Baiyi all came to visit Yang Baiyi's home.
Chenjiatun is a relatively remote village. In the entire village, there is only one tattered old bicycle at the brigade headquarters.
Yang Baiyi bought two bicycles at once, which was no less than buying two million-level luxury cars at one time in later generations.
Summer came in the blink of an eye. Unlike in the interior, there were no cicadas in Longjiang Province, which made Yang Baiyi feel a little regretful.
The larvae of the golden cicada are also called cicada monkeys. They are nutritious and delicious when fried in oil.
Zhou Fengying received a letter from home, and they had no objection to her dating someone in the Northeast.
After all, because I favor boys over girls, my only daughter went to the countryside, and I don’t know if she will ever return to the city. I can’t let my daughter be single forever, right?
During dinner in the evening, Xiao Fuxing kept smiling foolishly, and only told the news after Mu Xue's questioning.
"Grandma, my uncle and Comrade Fengying have been together for such a long time. Shouldn't we invite them to our house for dinner?"
Lin Wanru asked Muxue for her opinion.
"Since her family has no objections, it's time to invite her home.
We are both old enough to get married, so let me tell you about this matter."
Because Xiao Fuxing is a few years older than Yang Baiyi and is his elder, Mu Xue naturally shifted the focus of urging him to get married to Xiao Fuxing.
In the evening, Zhou Fengying arrived as promised and was warmly received by Yang Baiyi's family.
All kinds of wild game in the mountains were brought to the table by Yang Baiyi.
"Fengying, you're welcome, eat more."
Mu Xue kept picking up food for Zhou Fengying.
"Thank you, Auntie. I can do it myself."
Faced with Mu Xue's enthusiasm, Zhou Fengying felt a little overwhelmed, and the bowl in front of her was always full.
"Comrade Zhou Fengying, I treated you as a class brother, but I never expected you to quietly become my aunt."
Hearing her calling her grandmother "Auntie", Yang Baiyi felt a little awkward.
In the past, all the people in the educated youth compound followed me and called me grandma.
"Comrade Yang Baiyi, you can always call me by my name from now on."
Zhou Fengying looked at Yang Baiyi with some apology, feeling that she had indeed taken advantage of Yang Baiyi.
"Fengying, don't listen to his nonsense. He's just kidding you. After you marry my uncle, you'll be his real aunt. No matter how awkward it is, he has to call someone."
Lin Wanru said affectionately.
"Wanru is right. You should thank me for making you live a lifetime."
Xiao Fuxing looked at Zhou Fengying with fiery eyes.
"What you're saying makes me not know how to face Bai Yi and Wan Ru."
They were originally of the same age and from the same batch of educated youth, and they had a good relationship with each other. However, because of Xiao Fuxing, she was forced to be a generation older than others, which made Zhou Fengying a little embarrassed.
Because Zhou Fengying was familiar to everyone, even Xiao Qingyang and his wife could often see her when they went to the educated youth compound to visit Xiao Lele.
So even though this was Zhou Fengying's first time as a guest, she didn't feel restrained at all.
It made the meal less formal and more warm.
"Fengying, I heard from Fuxing that your family has no objections. You're both of marriageable age now. If you feel like you're a good match for each other, don't delay it!"
Mu Xue held back for a long time before finally getting to the point.
"Aunt, if Fuxing plans to get married, I have no objection."
When talking about marriage, Zhou Fengying was a little shy.
"I'm planning to get married. Why wouldn't I? I dream of marrying you soon."
Xiao Fuxing's face turned red with excitement.
It is not a pleasant feeling for a young man in his twenties to sleep alone on the kang.
