It gets dark early in the countryside, and there are no entertainment options. I don’t know what to do for dinner. Ning Yu and his group went to Datong Shop, but no one could fall asleep, so they all started chatting there.
"Oh, what nonsense is it to build the countryside? Look, we are sent here. Look at the environment here. There is not even a light." A buddy complained.
Ning Yu also sighed, "Let's not talk about anything else. Just not having enough to eat is a big problem. When you came, didn't you notice that the mountains nearby are so bare that they don't look like a few decent ones?" There are no trees at all, and there are those ditches, which are dozens of meters deep. If you fall down, you may be dead."
Everyone said something to me before coming here. Enthusiasm has long since disappeared, and the ideals are full and the reality is very skinny. At this time, these big boys began to miss their days in the capital.
"Hey, Brother Hao, what are you thinking about?" Ning Yu found that Qin Hao was not sleeping either, so he asked curiously.
Qin Hao shook his head, "I'm thinking about how to open up the situation. We might have to stay here for several years. This is not the way to go."
Listening to Qin Hao's words Said, Ning Yu and others became interested, and their eyes fell on Qin Hao.
"Brother Hao, do you have any ideas?"
Qin Hao waved his hand, "It's too early to say this now. Let's get familiar with the environment here tomorrow."< /p>
After saying that, Qin Hao covered himself with the quilt and closed his eyes to sleep.
When Ning Yu and others looked at it, they lost interest in continuing the conversation. After a while, snoring began to come from the room.
Turning around, Qin Hao woke up before dawn. He actually went to bed too early yesterday, as did Ning Yu and others. The sound of Qin Hao getting up woke them up. , everyone wiped their eyes, yawned and asked what time it was.
Qin Hao glanced at his watch. It was only a quarter past five, and he got up to wash up. When he was squatting on the steps in front of the courtyard and brushing his teeth, he found that on a small slope opposite, Qin Ling was talking. While doing vocal exercises, the two of them looked at each other and did their own thing.
After Qin Hao finished washing, Ning Yu and others also got up. At this time, the sky was still gray and foggy, and the weeds on the roadside were covered with dew.
Perhaps the only advantage here is that the air is clearer than in the capital.
Qin Hao took Ning Yu and his party to the hillside behind the house. Looking around, they saw yellow soil slopes one by one. Except for some bankers and weeds, there were almost no decent woods on them, and it was all gray. A scene of defeat and abjection.
I bent down and grabbed a handful of loess from the ground, and kneaded it. It was very hard. The northern Shaanxi Plateau is dominated by chestnut soil, and the soil fertilizer content is low. In addition, northern Shaanxi belongs to the temperate and semi-arid zone. The continental climate means less precipitation, and long-term cultivation has accelerated soil erosion. This land is actually very poor.
After listening to Qin Hao’s analysis, Ning Yu and others all had grim expressions on their faces. This was simply the beginning of hell..
"Brother Hao, what should we do?"
Qin Hao did not answer, but continued to wander around, observing the planting conditions of the village's farmland until almost eight o'clock , Ning Yu and the others were so hungry that they returned to their residence.
As soon as I entered the yard, I smelled a scent. The little girl Zhong Ling, who I had just met yesterday, complained, "Where have you been? Our food has been cooked for a while."
< p>"Hey, aren't we on an inspection trip?" Ning Yu and the others didn't mean to be polite at all, and went straight to the kitchen to serve porridge.Millet porridge and pickles is the standard breakfast here, and there is no steamed buns. As soon as Qin Hao drank a bowl of porridge, the pot bottomed out.
A young man complained, "This is too little. It's such a thin porridge. It sloshed around in less than two hours. Why don't you cook it more?"
Zhong Ling Staring at him, "We only have a small amount of rations, so we have to plan our meals. With your appetite, if you eat too much, we will all have to drink from the northwest wind before the middle of the month."
Ning Yu hurriedly He said to Qin Hao, "Brother Hao, please think of a way quickly. It's hard to say whether we can return to the capital alive if this continues."
At this time, these big guys no longer have any illusions. The only thought is to survive and go home
Qin Ling also looked at Qin Hao curiously, "By the way, I just saw you guys walking around, did you gain anything?"
Qin Ling is a smart man People, from the way Ning Yu and others obeyed Qin Hao's words yesterday, she realized that Qin Hao was the well-deserved leader among this group of people.
To be able to convince Ning Yu and the others, Qin Hao must have some extraordinary ability.
Qin Hao put down the bowl and chopsticks and said slowly, "Now there is only one way to be self-reliant."
"Self-reliance"
Everyone's doubtful and surprised eyes fell on on Qin Hao's face.
"What do you mean?" Zhong Ling asked innocently.
Another female educated youth pulled her whip and laughed and scolded, "You little fool, you don't even understand this. It means we don't want the rations provided by the educated youth. We need to farm our own land to support ourselves. Did I say that?" Wrong?"
Qin Hao nodded, "Yes."
"But, is this possible?" After Ning Yu said this, he saw all the big boys staring at him and hurriedly said. Explaining, "Brother Hao, I'm not doubting you. What I mean is, can the village and the Educated Youth Office agree?"
Qin Hao smiled, "If we put it in a few years, we might not agree, but now When millions of educated youths go to the countryside, the higher authorities must set an example. Is there anything more positive than the educated youths going to the countryside to rely on themselves and rely on themselves?"
"As for the village, I wish I could Let’s get rid of these burdens.”
Although the Educated Youth Office is now responsible for the rations of the educated youth, the policy can change at any time. What if the Educated Youth Office stops providing rations one day? If you can make it clear, the village naturally hopes to get rid of this burden.
After hearing what Qin Hao said, everyone looked at each other and felt that this was the truth.
However, Qinling poured cold water on everyone at this time: "Can you farm? There are so many experienced farmers in the village who can only make ends meet. Can we do it?"
< p>When Qin Ling said this, the lively atmosphere just now suddenly turned cold. Several female educated youths were already retreating. They had already participated in collective labor, and the village still took care of them and arranged some relatively light tasks. , just like this, they were so tired that they doubted their life.Ning Yu and others also looked at Qin Hao. They had never done farm work and did not know how hard it was, otherwise they would probably be like the female educated youth.
Qin Hao said unhurriedly, "Farming will definitely be very hard, and everyone must be mentally prepared for this. But in fact, no matter whether we farm the land ourselves, we still have to do farm work. The difference is that if we work on our own, we have a chance to have enough to eat, but if we live in a group, we will be like now, and we can only drink porridge until we are three-quarters full."
"How to decide. , you make your own choice."
Ning Yu and the others looked at each other for a long time, then gritted their teeth and said, "If you don't have enough to eat, what's the point of living a good life?"
"That's right. , Brother Hao, tell me what to do, we all listen to you."
When several female educated youths saw the male educated youths, they all sided with Qin Hao, and the youngest Zhong Ling was also said Immediately afterwards, except for Qin Ling, the other female educated youths also expressed their willingness to obey Qin Hao's arrangements.
After seeing Qin Ling for just a short time, Qin Hao unified everyone's opinions and couldn't help but look at him with admiration.
"Well, since everyone believes in you, I have nothing to say."
Qin Hao first explained the environmental disadvantages of northern Shaanxi, and everyone felt cold after hearing this. half.
Ning Yu smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Hao, according to what you say, we are seeking death by farming."
Qin Hao smiled calmly, "The same is true for farming." It depends on the situation. What you plant and how you plant it are all important. In the early stage, we will not grow grain, but soybeans."
"Soybeans"
"Yes, in northern Shaanxi. Therefore, the main reason for the low yield of grain crops is the lack of fertilizer. Rhizobium bacteria are symbiotic in the roots of legumes. Rhizobium bacteria are nitrogen-fixing bacteria that convert nitrogen in the air into absorbable nitrogen-containing ions, thereby increasing the nitrogen fertilizer content. To effectively make up for the lack of fertilizer in the land, we can plant a season of soybeans first, and then plant a season of grain. In this way, while cultivating the land, the yield of grain and soybeans will definitely be enough for us. ”
Qin Hao took the bowl from which he had just eaten porridge, took a bowl of water, moistened his throat, and continued, "And from soybeans, we can also make soybean oil, tofu, dried tofu and other soy products, which can not only solve the problem of oil and water, but also exchange them." Some of the necessities of our lives, such as meat, cloth and so on.”
After Qin Hao’s analysis, the expressions on everyone’s faces suddenly became vivid, and they all seemed to be living a better life. understand the happy life described by Qin Hao.
"Brother Hao, let's start doing what we are doing here. I can't survive this miserable life for a moment."
"Yes, let's let those guys do it too." Look down on our fellow villagers, we educated youths are not here to fight with them."
Seeing that no one had any objections, Qin Hao led everyone to find the village party secretary.
Before Qin Hao finished speaking, the village party secretary shook his head, "You little kids, you are so whimsical. There is no such policy here."
Qin Hao said directly. "Old party secretary, we will apply to the Educated Youth Office for policies from above. You don't have to worry about this. We will bear the policy risks."
The village party secretary still shook his head, "Even if there are policies from above, we can't." The land in the village is collectively owned and distributed to you. Wouldn’t it be like forming a small group? If everyone is like you, wouldn’t it be chaos?”
Several compounds with relatively hot tempers My son, when I see the village party secretary pushing back and blocking, I wish I could hang him up and beat him up.
Qin Hao gave them a warning look, stopped them, turned around and continued to say to the village party secretary, "We don't want the land in the village. I took a look this morning and there is still a lot of wasteland in the village that has not been cultivated. As long as Just give us these wastelands, and it will not affect the area of cultivated land in the village.”
In fact, at the beginning of the founding of the People’s Republic of China, in order to encourage the reclamation of wasteland, there was a policy to reclaim wasteland and obtain wasteland within a period of time. Right to use, this is not considered a violation of discipline.
The village party secretary looked at Qin Hao with some surprise. At first, he thought it was these educated youths who wanted to do something on a whim. But after hearing what the young man in front of him said, he actually followed the policy with reasonable grounds. The actual situation has been taken care of, and I can't help but sigh in my heart. I am worthy of being a big brother with two brushes.
"Is your name Qin Hao?" asked the village party secretary.
Qin Hao nodded.
"Okay, I will convene the village cadres to study this matter, and I will give you an answer then, but first, you must get the consent of the county educated youth office." The village party secretary emphasized In his own position, he won't do anything that takes risks.
"No problem, we will go to the county to ask for policies." Qin Hao also knew that this was a routine operation in the officialdom. Don't underestimate a small village party secretary. In this closed environment, This is the Tu Emperor, and he is also very skilled in officialdom.
After returning to the Small Courtyard for Educated Youth, Qin Hao was ready to go to the county. In northern Shaanxi, not to mention the village and the county, there are dozens of miles between the villages. In the county, it takes a day or two at least to come and go.
"Well, let Ning Yu go with me. There are so many of us going, and the Educated Youth Office thinks we are going to force us to have a baby." Qin Hao said.
Ning Yu smiled so hard that he couldn’t close his mouth. Although the other brothers in the courtyard were envious, they didn’t say anything. After all, there was no donkey cart in the county this time, and the whole journey was done on two legs. It's not an easy job.
Just when Qin Hao was about to set off, Qin Ling stood"I'm going too."
"No, what are you going to do?" Ning Yu said impatiently before Qin Hao spoke.
Qin Ling ignored him and said to Qin Hao, "The great leader said that women can hold up half the sky. Don't look down on women. Since everyone is petitioning together, we female educated youths must also contribute." ."
"Yes, you are not allowed to look down on others." Zhong Ling pouted and stood next to Qin Ling, and the other female educated youths also echoed.
Qin Hao could only agree to take her with him when he saw this, "You can follow us, but we have agreed to three chapters. You have to keep up with our pace. If you can't stand it halfway, no one will send you back."
"Huh, don't look down on others. I've walked more mountain roads than all of you combined." Qin Ling raised his chin proudly.
In this way, the three of them packed their simple luggage and set off for the county. Everything went smoothly at first, but as they walked, Ning Yu began to complain.
"What kind of broken road is this? It's obviously very close, but there is such a big gap. It takes more than ten miles to go around, but grandpa is exhausted."
Qin Hao slapped him angrily, "Don't be embarrassed, the other lesbians didn't say anything, you're the only one complaining here."
In fact, Qinling couldn't bear it anymore, and walked for twenty seconds in a row. After several miles of mountain road, anyone else would be exhausted.
Qin Hao had to stop when he saw this, "Then rest here for ten minutes, eat something before going on the road."
Ning Yu and Qin Ling were relieved when they heard this, and they also looked at He just sat down on the ground without getting dirty. The main reason was that Qin Hao walked too fast. If he wanted to keep up with him and not fall behind, he would consume much more energy than walking normally.
The two took out the dry food from their backpacks and were about to eat it when they smelled an alluring fragrance. They looked over and found that Qin Hao was holding half a salted duck in his hand, salivating. It almost dripped onto the dry food.
Qin Hao shook his head with a smile, divided the salted duck into three, gave each of them one portion, and handed it to them.
"Brother Xie Hao." Ning Yu and Qin Hao have been living together for a long time, and they are not so polite.
Qin Ling was a little embarrassed. Qin Hao directly stuffed it into her hand and said with a smile, "Okay, don't be polite. Eat. From now on, we will strive to have meat every day. If you are tired of eating, eat That's how people live when they have to lose weight."
"Pfft" Qin Ling couldn't help covering his mouth and chuckled, "What are you talking about? You are tired of eating meat and you still eat it to the point where you have to lose weight. , even if it is not the life of gods."
No wonder Qin Ling doesn't understand. In fact, it can be seen from some old photos that in the 1960s, fat people were basically not seen on the streets. Even if you are a wealthy family, only special professions such as chefs and buyers will occasionally give birth to one or two fat people.
Qin Hao just smiled and said nothing, lowered his head to nibble on the duck. Qin Ling was also attracted by the aroma of the salted duck and began to devour it. At this time, he didn't care about his manners and ate it into his stomach first. It's true.
After eating and drinking, the three of them set out on the road again and waited until dark before arriving at the county seat.
However, since the Educated Youth Office was off work, Qin Hao and the other three could only stay at the county guest house for one night. Fortunately, all three of them brought their Educated Youth Certificates and letters of introduction from the village, otherwise they would have to sleep in the open. On the streets.
To stay in a hostel these days, you must have a letter of introduction, otherwise you won’t be able to stay even if you have money. Moreover, the service in the hostel is extremely poor. You have to do everything by yourself, and the price is not cheap. Most people don’t even know how to stay there. Can't bear to live.
Qin Ling saw that Qin Hao opened two rooms at once and paid without blinking, so he couldn't help but look at him twice.
"Then you go to bed early. We are next door. If you need anything, shout out." Qin Hao also noticed Qin Ling's gaze, but he knew very well that Qin Ling was more curious about him.
"Well, thank you." Qin Ling was inevitably a little embarrassed after being caught, so he lowered his head and entered his room.
Ning Yu slept soundly this time. He took a shower, lay down on the bed and fell asleep.
Ning Yu didn’t get up until Qin Hao asked him to get up for breakfast the next morning, rubbing his eyes.
Qin Ling looked at the breakfast combination of white flour steamed buns, porridge and three large fried dough sticks on the table, and was a little dumbfounded for a moment.
"Sister Qinling, why are you standing there, eating?"
Ning Yu has just turned sixteen this year, and Qinling is already eighteen, so it is appropriate to call her sister.
After Qin Ling sat down, he did not move his chopsticks, but said worriedly, "This is costing you too much."
"Hey, it doesn't matter, I think we are in the capital, Lao Mo, Quan Jude, and Dong Lai Shunhao have all taken us to eat, so a few fried dough sticks are nothing." Ning Yu is not polite.
Qin Ling shook his head, "But now it's not as good as before, so we still have to save some money."
Qin Hao smiled nonchalantly, "It's not bad for breakfast, hurry up." Let’s eat. We have to go to the Educated Youth Office after eating.”
Perhaps the smell of fried dough sticks and white-flour steamed buns was too tempting, so Qin Ling was persuaded, lowered his head and started to eat the porridge.
After eating and drinking, the three of them checked out of the room and walked to the Educated Youth Office.
