Scholars in the courtyard

"Chief, you are here."

Yang Xiaotao came forward, flanked by the old dean, followed by Mr. Yang Ran Qiuye and others.

The eldest sister came to Ran Qiuye, and the two walked aside to talk.

"Well, we heard about the situation and came here to take a look."

As the old man spoke, he covered his mouth and coughed lightly, as if he was feeling unwell.

When Mr. Tao saw it, he looked at the old dean and said, "I received news from the northwest before I came here."

"All local forces are rushing to their aid and trying to control the damage."

"However, according to our estimates, this loss will cause at least half of the production reduction, which will have a great impact on our subsequent plans."

"When the chief knows, he will come over and take a look."

The old dean looked tangled and depressed.

The chief minister has come to do this, which shows the huge impact.

Hearing what Mr. Tao said, the old man stepped forward and said with relief, "This is a natural disaster, not a problem of comrades."

"We are here now to check the situation and see if we can minimize the losses."

The old dean composed himself, then looked at Yang Xiaotao, "Xiaotao, please tell me."

Yang Xiaotao nodded and stepped forward, "Chief, leader!"

"After we received the news from Director Gao, we immediately gathered people and rushed over. Now we have repaired the greenhouse. Fortunately, we pay attention to maintenance and repairs at ordinary times. The greenhouse in the village did not collapse. After the repairs in the morning, it has basically returned to normal condition."

"What we have in front of us is the greenhouse area, and the surrounding villages are also preparing to dispatch manpower to support us."

"Chief, please come this way."

The old man put his hand to his mouth, coughed twice, and followed Yang Xiaotao to the side.

Ran Qiuye, who was behind him, also noticed the old man's coughing, so he supported the eldest sister and asked softly, "Sister, the chief's body."

The eldest sister looked sad after hearing this, "I don't know what happened a while ago. Maybe I caught a cold at night and kept coughing."

"The doctor checked and found no inflammation or lesions."

"But that's what makes people worried."

The eldest sister said, looking at the old man in front of her. She heard the other man coughing from time to time, and her heart became even heavier.

She knew that this was the reason for the regression of body functions.

People will grow old one day.

It's just that I always feel cruel to the people around me.

When everyone came to the greenhouse, many people who were eating stood up one after another when they saw the crowd, and they all looked excited.

When the old man and Tao saw this, they both waved.

The old man even walked over, looked at the wooden barrel on the ground, picked up the noodles inside, looked at it, and then nodded.

Then he said to the people around him, "The country has encountered difficulties this time and needs everyone's help and hard work."

"When I came this time, besides bringing these 100 kilograms of meat, I brought only one thing."

"That is the belief in fighting with everyone."

"So, those who are here today, without any leader or other identity, just regard me as an ordinary farmer."

"I hope everyone will not dislike me as a newbie."

The old man said with a smile, as if he were having a family affair, and he was friendly to others.

When Mr. Yang and others beside him heard this, they felt deeply moved in their hearts.

"Chief, if you can trust this old man, leave this matter to us."

"Your position is more important than ours. The country still has many things that need you to deal with."

"Don't worry, just leave it to us."

"I promise you will do it well and properly and complete the task."

Mr. Yang raised the pipe pot on his waist, spoke with firmness, and turned to look at the surrounding villagers, "Big guys, young and old, there is no task that we in Yangjiazhuang cannot complete."

"Do you have confidence?"

Yang Dazhuang and others behind him also raised their hands, "Yes!"

"Make sure to complete the mission."

"Chief, leave this to us, we can make it even without sleeping."

"We are not afraid of blood or sweat. Chief, you believe in us."

Shouts came from around him, and the old man pursed his lips and nodded repeatedly, his eyes moist, "I know, I know."

"I trust you just like you trust me."

"Thank you for your trust, thank you."

The old man looked at Yang Xiaotao again, "Are there any difficulties now?"

"If you have something to say, we will solve it together."

Cough~

“The top priority now is to replant, and everything else can be pushed back.”

Yang Xiaotao nodded, "The manpower problem in the village is easy to solve. The main reason is that there are too few people who know how to plant and cultivate."

Mr. Tao looked at the old dean aside, "Aren't there many people in the Academy of Agricultural Sciences?"

The chief also looked over, and the old dean shook his head, "Most of the people who went to the Northwest this time were transferred. The rest, except for those with project research, are all newly admitted students."

"This time, except for the security department, including the teachers, everyone is here."

Mr. Tao frowned even more after hearing this.

“There are still a few people in the Academy of Agricultural Sciences!”

The old man on the side sighed and said, "We are a large agricultural country, and the food problem produced by agriculture is an important factor restricting the development of the country."

"In the future, there will be more talents in this field."

Mr. Tao nodded, "The chief is right. After this incident is over, the scale will be expanded, the number of people will be expanded, and branches in various places will be established."

The old dean nodded, and Yang Xiaotao listened and agreed.

Agriculture is a university subject. If you study some things thoroughly, you will be much better than farmers who rely on experience to farm.

Just like the hybrid corn grown, if the Academy of Agricultural Sciences takes on the task of breeding, farmers everywhere will be able to use high-yielding crops, which will be a qualitative improvement for agricultural production.

The few people did not discuss this issue too much, and then focused on the present.

Yang Xiaotao led a few people around the greenhouse area. When they arrived at the busy scene, they saw that the old man had already taken off his trousers and shoes. Tong Xiaolong on the side looked confused and held a hoe in his hand. He didn't know whether he should or not. Give.

"Give me!"

As the old man said, Tong Xiaolong had no choice but to hand it over.

The old man took the hoe and was about to enter the greenhouse, but Yang Xiaotao stepped out from the side.

"Chief."

Yang Xiaotao quickly stepped forward to stop him, holding the old man's hand and winking at Tong Xiaolong.

"Why are you standing here? Go and do your own work."

"No, chief, this job, this job is not suitable for you."

The old man frowned, "Don't fool me with this. I remember that when I was in Yanzhou, I also worked in the fields. I just haven't done it in the past two years, so I am a bit rusty, but it's not like I can't work."

Ahem

The old man spoke a little hastily and started coughing again.

Seeing this, Yang Xiaotao increased the energy output in his palms again.

It's just that Xiaowei has more important things to do right now and can't give too much.

Fortunately, the sun was shining brightly, Xiaowei's intermediate photosynthetic effect was strengthened, and the loss was within the tolerance range.

The eldest sister on the side came over and looked at her. She knew her husband's temper and there was no point in persuading her. All she could do was look at Yang Xiaotao's ability.

When Yang Xiaotao heard what the old man said, he laughed and said, "Chief, you are an old man. This work requires not only strength, but also accuracy."

"You see, everyone uses a hoe to go down to a depth of five to eight centimeters. If it is shallower, it will be easier to dry out. If it is deeper, it cannot be planted. Only at this depth can the planted seeds grow if they are watered."

"Also, if you dig a hole in front, there will be people behind you who will plant the seeds, step on them, water them, and cover them with soil."

"If the crowd is full at the beginning, it will affect the efficiency of the entire team."

"Chief, I think this job is not suitable for you."

Yang Xiaotao said something, and the old man looked suspicious, but looking at the division of labor between the left and right, and the leaders waving their heads were all young and strong men.

So he nodded.

Mr. Tao also came over and said, "Chief, we are all laymen, we still have to follow the advice of professionals."

Seeing this, the old man no longer pressed, but looked at Yang Xiaotao, "In that case, you can assign the tasks."

"yes!"

Yang Xiaotao smiled and said, "Chief, why don't you get a little tired and cover the ground like the master did."

Cover with soil?

The old man looked not far away. Mr. Yang, with his hands behind his back and his bare feet, put the excavated soil back on top, and then stepped lightly on it.

"Okay, I'll do this."

Seeing that the old man was no longer persistent, Yang Xiaotao and Tong Xiaolong breathed a sigh of relief.

Afterwards, everyone clearly divided the work, and then went to their respective greenhouses to get busy.

In the shed No. 18.

Yang Dazhuang and Tong Xiaolong swung their hoes in front and dug out small holes.

Ran Qiuye, Lou Xiao'e and other women held the grass seeds and put them in.

Yang Shitou and others carried buckets and used ladles and gourds to water the water.

Behind them are Mr. Yang and his senior group.

As for Yang Xiaotao, he is currently walking in various greenhouses, going in to check from time to time, and immediately stopping problems if he finds them.

And those greenhouses that have been planted need Xiaowei's help even more.

Fortunately, the weather is getting hotter now, but thanks to the efforts of the village's water pumps, moisture is guaranteed.

Under the urging of Xiaowei's ability, it is not impossible for the seeds to germinate.

In the middle of the afternoon, Yang Xiaotao came to the greenhouse to help.

As for Xiaowei, Yang Xiaotao allowed her to express herself freely. Now with her strength, even if she floats around during the day, no one will notice her.

What's more, there are a lot of vegetation around for cover.

Taking the hoe from Yang Dazhuang, Yang Xiaotao began to lead the team to work.

Yang Dazhuang arranged for two people to replace Ran Qiuye and Lou Xiao'e, and they had to take a bus back to Sijiu City.

There weren't many people in the greenhouse, so you could hear people talking all around.

At first, everyone was a little restrained because of the old man's special status.

But as I gradually became busy, I started to talk more.

Mr. Yang and the old man were walking side by side. The old man asked him how old he was.

It turned out that the two of them were born in the same year, but the grandfather's birthday was one month older than the old man's.

So the old man called Taiye, brother, and Taiye still called the chief.

When the old man asked about the situation in the village, Mr. Yang said truthfully. From what the village was like before, things gradually got better due to Yang Village No. 1. Now, since the establishment of the farm, no one has died of hunger anymore.

Then we talked about breeding farms, building houses, and running schools.

The grandfather seemed to have endless things to say to the old man.

Tell him how wonderful life is now.

There is no oppression on the people's heads, and they can really live a good life.

The old man listened quietly. The more he listened, the happier his heart became, and the cough in his throat also eased a lot.

After Mr. Yang finished speaking, he was concerned about the old man's health.

"Chief, you have to take care of yourself."

"Thank you for your concern, brother. I know my body, but brother, you are in good health."

Mr. Yang shook his head, "It's no longer possible. The injuries from earlier years will cause pain on rainy days."

At this point, he leaned closer and said, "I don't dare to tell them these things, otherwise I will have to go to the hospital again."

"That won't work. You need to see a doctor if you are sick."

The old man said, and the grandfather smiled, "In the past two years, maybe I have let it go, my mood is good, and my descendants have made progress, so I feel lighter."

"Now in school, seeing the children sitting in the classroom, my heart is even happier."

The old man couldn't help but sigh, "Brother, you are very good, very good."

But he thought of his own children.

But he quickly adjusted himself. When he heard the grandfather talking about the children of Yang Xiaotao's family, he couldn't help but smile, thinking that if your brother knew that there was a "grandson", he would be happy.

The grandfather wanted to say something, but the other party's status was different from his. He could sit at the school gate and watch the gate, but the other party had more important things to deal with.

The status is different, so some happiness is destined to be incomparable.
