"Five months?" Zhong Yuemin and Li Kuiyong both looked at Qin Hao as if they were looking at a fool.
How can a bunch of educated youths who have never farmed before become self-sufficient in five months? It’s just a dream, right?
The two looked at each other and agreed that this was Qin Haoshi's plan, so that he could have enough to eat in these five months. After all, even if he could not achieve self-sufficiency after five months, could the Educated Youth Office really stand by and watch?
Let them starve to death?
In addition, Zhong Yuemin, Li Kuiyong and Qin Hao were not able to deal with each other before. I thought, if Qin Hao can do something, why can't they?
Zhong Yuemin slapped the table directly: "Isn't it just five months of self-sufficiency? We can do it too!"
Originally, Director Ma just wanted to dispel Zhong Yuemin's idea of continuing to cause trouble, but who would have thought that this kid would actually fight against him.
"What are you talking about!" Director Ma glared at Zhong Yuemin fiercely.
Before Zhong Yuemin could refute, Li Kuiyong also stood up.
"Director Ma, what you said is wrong. Everyone is capable. If he can do it, why can't we!"
Director Ma was in a dilemma for a moment. The words came from his mouth. If he took them back now, where would his authority be?
"This matter cannot be decided with a slap on the forehead. To be self-sufficient for five months, you must first have land to farm. Qin Hao and the others reclaimed the barren hills themselves and did not occupy an inch of collective farmland."
When they heard that they were going to reclaim the barren hills, both Zhong Yuemin and Li Kuiyong were somewhat repelled. They usually worked in the fields in the village and fished wherever they could, but they were still almost exhausted. Reclaiming the barren hills would definitely be much more tiring than cultivating ready-made farmland.
Zheng Tong heard this and quietly pulled Zhong Yuemin: "Yuemin, this is no joke..."
However, Zhong Yuemin is a stubborn donkey. The more he is not allowed to do something, the more he will do it, so he pats his chest and says: "We can also reclaim barren mountains, isn't it just farming? We are all educated youths. They can do it, why can't we?"
?”
Director Ma lost his temper for a moment, and after thinking for a long time, he said: "You can learn if you want, but the county has only approved a pilot program, so you have to wait."
"No, we can't wait any longer to contribute to the cause of **. If you don't agree, I will go to the county leaders." Zhong Yuemin knew that Director Ma was a delaying tactic. If Qin Hao's pilot was successful after five months,
Even if he does it by then, only Qin Hao will be commended. How can he let Qin Hao enjoy such limelight to himself?
In his mind, Zhong Yuemin has already begun to imagine the scene of giving a speech in front of the county's educated youth in five months, wearing a big red flower.
Director Ma was furious: "Okay, if you can get the county leaders to agree, I will approve full rations for you!"
Zhong Yuemin didn't waste any time. He got up and left the Educated Youth Office and walked towards the county government. Zheng Tong and others had no choice but to follow. Li Kuiyong hesitated and followed.
"You see, with a character like this, if you can farm well, you will have trouble!" Director Ma looked at Zhong Yuemin and the others and shook his head.
After complaining, Director Ma asked Qin Hao about the pilot situation.
Qin Hao's answer: "At present, we have reclaimed ten acres of wasteland, and now the soybeans have begun to sprout. The average number of soybeans per acre is about 6,000, and the yield per mu is expected to reach 400 kilograms of soybeans."
Director Ma was stunned when he heard this number. As a grassroots cadre, he knew a lot about agriculture. The average yield of soybeans in fertile farmland was only five or six hundred kilograms per mu. But Qin Hao and the others were planting wasteland and there was no fertilizer. Why?
How can the yield per mu be so high? Moreover, the emergence rate is too high.
Qin Hao did not hide anything, and recounted some of his techniques for sowing soybeans: "Actually, if we sow more soybeans, the germination can be higher. The main reason is that we can only use organic fertilizer. We are afraid that the soil fertility is not enough, so we can only plant this first."
too much."
Director Ma nodded repeatedly when he heard this and said appreciatively: "Well, I can't tell, you are still good at farming. You have considered it very comprehensively. Alas, if all educated youths could be like you, our work would be much easier.
Already."
Qin Hao just smiled and did not answer the question. He was also an educated youth himself, and he would use his status as an educated youth to make a fuss in the future. He must stand firm.
"Director Ma, actually the main reason we came here this time is to apply for a batch of pesticides from you. You also know that what we are reclaiming is wasteland, and there are many pests. We can overcome irrigation, sowing, and weeding ourselves, but
What if the soybeans you have worked so hard to grow are eaten by insects during the harvest, then..."
Now that they have arrived, Qin Hao naturally wants to pick up some wool and take it back.
Director Ma was confused when he heard this: "This pesticide is a scarce resource..."
Qin Hao said in a low voice: "Director Ma, do you think this is okay? Give us a approval slip and we can buy it with our own money."
"Okay, okay, but I can only open two barrels for you, not more." Director Ma hesitated for a moment, but was finally convinced by the beautiful scene described by Qin Hao, and made up his mind to wait until he has time.
Yes, you must go to Yangshu Village to see what's going on there. Don't be fooled by this guy's one-sided words.
Although the two barrels were a little short, it was still better than nothing. Qin Hao took the batch slip to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy the pesticide, and then rushed back with Qin Ling.
On the way, Qin Ling asked curiously: "You must have spent a lot of money on seeds and farm tools last time, right? Where did you get so much money?"
Qin Hao squeezed her soft little hand and said with a proud smile: "Of course I earned it."
As he spoke, he talked about building furniture in the capital in exchange for industrial coupons and supplies. Qin Ling had no doubt about this. The furniture purchased for the Educated Youth Courtyard was all made by Qin Hao himself, and his craftsmanship was absolutely impeccable.
Qin Hao said with some emotion: "It's a place where birds don't poop. Otherwise, with our craftsmanship, there will be no problem in feeding you."
"Go, who wants you to feed me?" Qin Ling spat, but did not pull his hand back.

Qin Hao's hands had unconsciously wrapped around Qin Ling's slender waist.
On the Loess Plateau, on the dark roads, only the moonlight and the beam of the flashlight were shining. Qin Hao smelled a special fragrance from Qinling, which made people intoxicated.
As Qin Ling's breathing became heavier and heavier, Qin Hao could no longer bear the restlessness in his heart and lowered his head to kiss her.
Qin Ling did not resist, closed his eyes, and responded with enjoyment. Under Qin Hao's repeated attacks, he quickly lost his ability to resist.
Just when Qin Hao was about to take the next step, Qin Ling shyly reached out and turned off the flashlight.
The white moonlight slanted down, and the chirping of insects and frogs came to my ears. At this moment, Qinling also shed two drops of tears.
........
When Qin Ling regained consciousness again, the sky was already covered with fog, and she was curled up in Qin Hao's arms. Qin Hao's clothes were on the ground, and Qin Ling's clothes were covering the two of them.
"Are you awake?" Qin Hao noticed that Qin Ling's breathing was obviously becoming messy.
Qin Ling said "Yeah" and lay lazily on Qin Hao. She was not shy at all in the wild. On the contrary, she liked this unrestrained feeling. She stretched out her hand to feel the caress of the wind, even returning to the city.
The will is no longer so strong.
"what time is it now?"
After a long time, Qin Ling blinked and asked.
Qin Hao raised his wrist and pointed the hour hand at four o'clock: "It's past four o'clock, it's almost dawn."
"Oh." Qin Ling yawned, showing no intention of getting up.
Qin Hao asked curiously: "You just gave yourself to me, so you are not afraid that I will always give up? Are you not forcing me to do multiple-choice questions?"
"Ten thousand years is too long, seize the day, as long as you belong to me now." Qin Ling lay on Qin Hao's chest, listening to his heartbeat, and said slowly.
Qin Hao suddenly turned over and started a day of morning exercises amidst Qin Ling's exclamations.
"Days and nights are too short, being my woman means a lifetime."
........
When they returned to the Educated Youth Courtyard, it was already nine o'clock in the morning. Before returning, the two of them found a place to clean up, but Zhong Ling still discovered the clues.
"Sister Qinling, why are your clothes so dirty?"
Qin Ling rarely blushed and said hesitantly: "I fell down on the road."
Qin Hao secretly laughed in his heart, this girl really didn't know how to lie, she was so nervous with just such a little lie.
"By the way, why are you at home and where are they?" Qin Hao changed the subject when he saw that Zhong Ling was still pestering Qin Ling with questions.
Zhong Ling smiled and said: "Oh, they have all gone to the fields. I will come back and bring them some water."
"Oh, then go quickly. We have been traveling all night and we need to rest for a while."
Zhong Ling had no doubts, so she went to the kitchen, picked up the kettle and bowls, and headed up the mountain.
"Take off your clothes and let me wash them for you. They're really dirty." Qin Ling said with a red face.
Qin Hao saw that the thing underneath was really dirty, so he quickly went back to the house to change it and give it to Qin Ling.
By noon, Ning Yu and the others came back and asked curiously when they saw the pesticide Qin Hao brought back.
"Brother Hao, what is this for?"
Qin Hao said seriously: "This is an insecticide. It is highly toxic. You must be careful. If you accidentally eat it, you will be killed."
There are basically no safety standards for insecticides these days. The main criterion is that they can kill bugs. If the toxicity is weak, it will be considered ineffective by the common people. Among them, the most effective one is "dichlorvos". This thing contains highly toxic, but it is not effective.
It is very popular among people because of its excellent insecticidal effect.
When everyone heard this, they subconsciously moved away.
After lunch, to avoid the one or two o'clock when the sun is the most poisonous, Qin Hao and his party went up the mountain with their hoes. At this time, the ten acres of wasteland was already covered with greenery, and the strong bean sprouts were swaying in the wind.
.
In addition to weeding and watering these bean sprouts, Qin Hao led everyone to continue to open up wasteland. Anyway, it was idle time, and there was still a lot of wasteland in the back mountains.
Digging up all the soil, digging out the eggs inside and exposing them to the sun can reduce the survival rate of the eggs and reduce insect infestations.
Busy days always pass quickly. Two months passed quickly. The original ten acres of soybean seedlings have grown into a low bush of plants. In this bush of plants, there are already some small white and light pink flowers.
.
Butterflies and bees have begun to get busy. As July approaches, it is already the season when soybeans begin to bloom. Although soybean flowers are not very pretty and have little fragrance, for Qin Hao and the others, they are definitely the most beautiful flowers in the world.
.
"The younger generation is not bad, he is a good farmer!"
After several months of getting along with each other, the villagers have gradually accepted Qin Hao and other educated youths. At first, they were waiting to see the excitement of the educated youths, but when Qin Hao and the others really started to farm, they carried water, carried manure, and weeded like them.
Gradually, the villagers realized that these educated youths were different from the young men and young ladies in the city who had no fingers in their imagination.
Especially after the emergence of soybeans, they were surprised to find that the emergence rate of these ten acres of land was higher than theirs. This was very puzzling. A group of little kids who had never done farm work actually farmed more than
Are they still good at it?
Even the village party secretary came to ask Qin Hao if he had any special skills.
Qin Hao did not hide anything and told all about his skills, but the crops in the village were not growing as well as those in the educated youth fields.
The village party secretary thought that Qin Hao was hiding something.
In fact, the reason is very simple. These ten acres of land belong to Qin Hao and the others. Everyone is counting on these ten acres of land to allow them to have enough to eat. The land in the village is collective, and they eat from a big pot.
To put it bluntly, if you work harder and earn the same work points, you will naturally eat more than others when you are tired. Naturally, you can fish when you can.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! In fact, the disadvantages of eating in a big pot are not obvious at this time. When it comes to the later stage, no one will feel sad even if the crops are rotting in the ground.
Director Ma from the Educated Youth Office came over during the trip. When he saw the ten acres of bean sprouts, he was even happier than seeing his relatives. He praised Qin Hao and the educated youths.
Of course, after the compliment, Director Ma told Qin Hao to ensure the safety of these ten acres of soybeans, which made him even more nervous than Qin Hao and other educated youths.
What's more interesting is that Director Ma also revealed a piece of news during the chat, saying that Zhong Yuemin and Li Kuiyong somehow convinced the county leaders and approved them for the educated youth pilot program.
"Oh, these guys are not as diligent as you. It's been more than a month, and I heard that even the wasteland has not been reclaimed yet. Hmm, I'll see what they tell the county leaders!"
In fact, it’s not really the fault of Zhong Yuemin and Li Kuiyong for not working hard. In fact, the educated youth in their village were not interested in self-sufficiency. In their opinion, they could just live a life of eating from a big pot and there was no point in risking their lives.
Apart from anything else, Zheng Tong is just a talker. It hurts or makes him uncomfortable to work. However, Zhong Yuemin can't say anything to him. Seeing him being lazy like this, others will naturally feel the same way.
Following this example made Zhong Yuemin extremely anxious and helpless.
No matter what you do, if it involves collaboration and cooperation, it will be difficult to complete without a unified internal consensus.
Time soon came to September, and the originally green wasteland was replaced by autumn yellow, which is the color of harvest.
Qin Hao originally planned to start harvesting, but Director Ma sent a message saying that he would wait for a while and the county leaders would come to inspect.
Well, what's there to inspect in these ten acres of land? It's obviously here to improve political performance.
As Qin Hao expected, the county leaders not only came by themselves, but also brought reporters from the newspaper and took many photos, which were said to be sent to the city for publication.
"I announce that the pilot harvest of educated youth in Yangshu Village has officially begun!"
The county leaders went through the motions with the reporters and left, leaving only Qin Hao and the educated youths to start busy harvesting.
