Chapter 778: Fifty-year-old sister-in-law (11)
If the wasteland was so easy to open, they would have expanded out long ago.
The weather in the north is really too cold, with spring plowing in early April and ice still covering the end of March. The ice gets worse the further north you go, leaving them only a few days to clear out the wasteland. Often, they have to rush here before even a few bits of land have been cleared. Spring plowing has begun in a hurry.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the land reclamation team arrived, hundreds of acres of land were opened in less than half a month. Can you not be shocked?
After being shocked, the villagers gave thumbs up and praised the tall young men in the wasteland reclamation team:
“Not bad, not bad! He is indeed a strong young man with a strong body! He is the material for work!”
Young man: “…”
Is this a boast? Why do you feel ashamed?
Hundreds of acres of wasteland have been cultivated into cultivated fields. The main credit does not belong to them. It is clearly Xu Yin's credit.
To be honest, in the past half month, Xu Yin has cultivated as much land as the nine of them together. Looking at such a petite and frail person, his explosive power is so amazing.
Let’s not talk about the first day. Everyone was very motivated. Although there was still a slight gap compared with Xu Yin, overall they could keep up with her pace.
Unexpectedly, the next day, not to mention the lesbians in the breeding group, the male comrades in the first, second, third and fourth groups all wanted to collapse - they were so tired that their arms and legs no longer felt like their own.
Xu Yin: “…”
Look at what sister is doing? Sister is holding back her strength.
If she were on Taoyuan Star, in such a wasteland, in half a month, she could carve out more than a hundred acres by herself, but now she has a small team of ten people.
On average, one person plows a little more than half an acre of land in one day. An old scalper can plow three acres in one day.
The physical strength of our male compatriots is still a bit lacking after all!
Of course, she only dared to say this in her heart, and never dared to say it baldly, otherwise she would become the public enemy of all the male compatriots in the team.
“Xu Yin, you are so strong!”
Female compatriots surrounded him with envy.
They have wanted to say it for a long time, but they are just too tired these days and they have to build a house after work.
Even though their tasks are relatively light, some of them fill the wooden frame molds with the yellow mud mixed by the male compatriots and pound it firmly with wooden hammers; some are responsible for removing the molds and putting them in the corner to dry in the shade. Unlike their male compatriots, they have to carry mud, mix mud, build walls, and lay bricks, all of which are strenuous tasks.
Even so, they were still very tired. After returning to their residence, they all collapsed on the kang, unable to find the strength to rush out and chat.
Captain Fu came over and patted Xu Yin's shoulder happily: "Well done, Comrade Xu! When I saw you were so thin and weak, I thought you were trying to show off, but I didn't expect..."
Not only did he fail to show off, he also outshone all the male compatriots in the same group. She is really a woman who cannot be compared to a man!
No, not only refusing to give in, but also grinding the man's eyebrows to the ground and rubbing them.
“Well done, well done! You’ve given face to our distant mountain reclamation captain!”
Captain Fu was extremely happy.
He heard from the liaison officer that the other reclamation teams had opened up less than half of the wasteland in the past half month, let alone a hundred acres, and the quality was not very good.
After praising Xu Yin, Captain Fu looked at the land in front of him that was overgrown with grass and frozen solid half a month ago. Now it seemed to be a well-organized land that could be cultivated at any time, and he felt an infinite sense of heroism in his heart. The worries and anxiety I felt when I first arrived are gone now, replaced by vigorous passion and confidence.
"Comrades, Comrade Xu Yin has led us all to a good start! Next, we must continue our efforts and devote ourselves to spring plowing with full spirit, striving to successfully complete the first truly testing task after the establishment of the reclamation team! For Let’s win glory for Yuanshan County!”
The team members were inspired by the captain's confidence and expressed their ambition: "I guarantee to complete the mission!"
However, when the spring plowing stage really entered, everyone realized that it was too early to take a stand, and spring plowing was not as easy as opening up wasteland.
The sense of urgency of competing with God for time makes them feel as if they are in a battle every day, leaving early and returning late. At the end of the day, they are almost falling apart.
Only Xu Yin still moves freely and is full of energy.
Encouraged and driven by Xu Yin, the female compatriots became more and more courageous. Although they still complained endlessly after lying down at night, every time they saw the captain's happy and appreciative eyes, he also said that they should not be afraid of hardship or tiredness. I wrote down my mental outlook and sent it to the newspaper. I immediately felt that I could cheer up and continue working.
The male compatriots gritted their teeth: Even the female comrades said no, how dare they say no? You have to endure it! You have to hold on tight! Otherwise it would be embarrassing if word spread!
So, on the fields of spring plowing, a reclamation team was born who fought hard to get ahead.
Captain Fu frowned.
Now, he is no longer afraid to report his work to his superiors. On the contrary, he is more active than any other reclamation team.
Especially after listening to the liaison officer relaying the progress of land reclamation and spring plowing of several other land reclamation teams, he became more confident. No, in addition to mobilizing everyone, he also kept writing and writing reports and submissions every day.
We don’t have to say whether we can be selected and published. At least we need to let the outside world know that our Yuanshan Reclamation Team is a positive, hard-working and hard-working team!
Other reclamation teams were a little surprised after hearing this:
“What’s going on with the Yuanshan Reclamation Team? Is it necessary to be so high-profile?”
“That’s right! Do it like no one knows how to do it!”
"I don't think the Yuanshan team is aware of it! What are we here for? To open up wasteland, cultivate land, and contribute to the country's rice warehouse! Instead of promoting how hard-working we are. Aren't these what we should do? This Do you want to publicize it too?"
“The Yuanshan team is not good at anything else, but they are quite good at bragging.”
“But it is said that the editorial department likes the manuscript submitted by the Yuanshan team, and they also said that after they are busy with spring plowing, they will publish a special spring plowing issue. If we don’t submit a few articles, will it be thought that we are not serious about opening up wasteland and farming?”
…”
So the shrewd team also followed the example of the remote mountain reclamation team and wrote reports.
But there are also some teams that believe that enlightened people should not focus on bragging, but should use the ground under their feet as the standard of measurement.
The final results of the reclamation team depend not on the pen or bragging, but on the wasteland opened and the crops planted!
Captain Fu heard the discussions from the other teams from the liaison officer, and twitched his lips: Where are you bragging? What I write is all true and what I say is true! If you don’t believe me, just wait and see!
Although several teams did not compete openly, they were all secretly competing.
Among them, the Qinghe County reclamation team has the highest morale.
They say they are from the same province as Yuanshan County.
But as the saying goes, there is no room for two tigers in one mountain, the reclamation teams from the same province will inevitably be compared with other teams.
“Comrades, we in Qinghe County cannot lose to Yuanshan County! Not only can we not lose, we must overtake it!”
