Transmigrating to the 70’s: The Military Wife As A Farmer

Time passed quickly, and in a flash, the eldest sister's confinement was finished, and in a flash, it was the end of March.

At this time, the north was still barren. In the cold environment, the mountains, rivers, lakes and trees were still dead. The production team had not yet started the spring ploughing, and even the manure feeding and ridge drilling had to wait until the soil was completely melted.

Han Mingxiu, however, has already carried a planing pick to dig a ridge, and is about to start farming.

What she wants to plant is spring wheat. Spring wheat is different from winter wheat. Spring wheat is only grown in the northern regions where winters are very cold, while winter wheat is grown in the slightly warmer south.

It's just that the people in the place where Han Mingxiu lives are used to planting corn, corn, soybeans and sorghum. No one has ever planted spring wheat, and they don't know the habits of spring wheat. Seeing Han Mingxiu digging ridges in the field so early, many people don't know what to do. All the villagers came to see her planting as if watching the excitement, and even her uncle came to persuade her, "Xiu, the land is cultivated in May and harvested in October, and you only put the seeds in April. After planting, don't you have to wait for the seedlings to freeze to death?"

Han Mingxiu said in disapproval, "Uncle, I plant spring wheat, and spring wheat is sown when it is cold, because after the seeds of spring wheat germinate in the soil, they must go through a certain period of low temperature before they can get up and joint and develop into a fruity plant. , if it’s too late, it won’t work.”

Uncle Han Zhiwen listened to her plausible words, but he still didn't believe her. He said, "Is your spring wheat reliable? Our ancestors have grown corn, sorghum, soybeans and peanuts for generations. Can you do that?"

Han Mingxiu said, "Why not? This is planted according to the book, which is called scientific farming. There are many kinds of spring wheat in Hei Province and Inner Mongolia, although spring wheat is not as good as winter wheat. Noodles are delicious, but their growth period is short. It takes about 90 days from sowing to harvesting. I have calculated it all. My spring wheat can be harvested in August. After harvesting, I can still plant a crop in the field. Green vegetables are equivalent to two crops a year on a piece of land, and the utilization rate is almost catching up with the land in the south, what a good deal!”

In her previous life, Han Mingxiu was born in a rural area in the Northeast, and her family had grown spring wheat, so she knew very well about spring wheat, so she insisted on planting it.

Spring wheat is usually interplanted with corn, that is to plant two rows of spring wheat, then two rows of corn, then two rows of spring wheat, and then two rows of corn. Only two parts of the land can be planted with spring wheat, and the remaining two parts of the land must be kept for planting corn.

In addition, she intends to use the two parts of the land that the team takes care of for their family to plant potatoes. The soil quality is not good and the terrain is high. I am afraid that it will not be possible to plant other things. If they are served well, they can grow about 200 catties of potatoes, which is almost enough for a few of them to eat for a year.

Han Mingxiu is very familiar with the process of planting, whether it is spring wheat or corn and potatoes. The housekeeping job of two-divided land is not difficult for her, and she doesn't need anyone's help. She only spends a week. In time, the ground was turned over and planted.

After planting the land, she bought twenty chickens, ten goose fry and ten duck fry while going to the market.

She raised these chickens, ducks and geese not for money, but for the convenience of eating eggs and meat for herself. She thought about it. When these chickens, ducks and geese are raised, she will not sell any of them, but keep the meat to eat. Save as it is now, you have to count on eating meat, and you are reluctant to buy it until you are in a hurry.

When she grows up these chickens, ducks and geese, she can eat as much as she wants, as much as she can, and she will no longer treat her stomach harshly.

When she brought these chickens, ducks and geese home, Han Mingcui was worried.

Such an old beast, that's all mouth? Now the family has to rely on the uncle Gao in the city to provide food, so where else can the whole grain be used to feed these beasts?

She expressed her concerns, and Han Mingxiu listened and said with a natural expression, "This is what Uncle Gao asked me to raise, he said that he provided me with food, and later he would eat meat and eggs with Aunt Gao. It's all up to me, do you think I can raise a little more?"

Hearing that Uncle Gao asked her to raise her, Han Mingcui's heart was relieved a little, but she was still a little scared. This time, she was not afraid that she would have nothing to feed, but she was worried that there were so many animals in the family, in case they were cut off. What about the tail of capitalism?

She was frightened for several days, and it was not until the spring ploughing mobilization meeting in the production team that she put down the hanging one.

Because the captain conveyed the spirit of the above at the spring ploughing mobilization meeting, saying that now the country encourages the common people to raise chickens and ducks, and the common people can raise as much as they like without cutting their tails. The people of the industry support it.

The way to help is to give you pups on credit, and then sell them to the country after you have raised them. For example, if you want to raise pigs, you can give you pigs on credit, and you can return the pigs when you raise them. The money from the piglets is enough, but there is another precondition, that is, the pigs you raise must be sold to the state. The state will give you a piggy on credit. In autumn, you must sell at least 100 catties of pork to the state.

Similarly, if you want to raise chickens, ducks and geese, the state can also give you chickens, ducks, ducks and geese on credit, but in autumn it will also provide the state with meat and eggs. Of course, the state doesn’t want you for nothing. It will be given to you according to the purchase price, and it will never take a penny off the common people.

When Han Mingxiu heard about this policy, she was overjoyed. Seeing that the villagers were frowning, she stood up boldly and was the first to express her support. She said that she would respond to the call of the country and serve the country. To make a contribution, he boldly stated that he would go back on credit for two piglets, and when the autumn came, he would definitely hand over 200 catties of meat to the country to support the country's construction.

When other villagers saw Han Mingxiu wanting to give two pigs on credit, they thought she was crazy. Although things are not as difficult as they were in the 1960s, they were only just enough to eat. Even if they wanted to respond to the call of the state, Want to raise more livestock to volunteer for the construction of the motherland, but have no food to support those things?

Even the most wealthy people in the village want to raise pigs, and they dare to raise at most one pig. Then the whole family has to tighten their stomachs and save some food to feed the pigs. She is a little girl. Yes, the family has no labor force, and secondly, there is no savings or anything, so they have to raise two pigs. Isn't this a fool's dream?

The captain also felt that it was impractical for Han Mingxiu to raise two pigs. In fact, he thought that she could not afford to raise one of them, but she had already expressed her support for his work in such a positive way. "Xiu, you are a little girl, and you want to help your eldest sister raise children and pigs. I'm afraid you will be too busy. Otherwise, you can raise one, and you will go to the pen after the meeting is over. Pick out a big piggy and take it back."

Han Mingxiu didn't seem to see what the captain meant. She didn't go down the steps given by the captain at all. She said loudly, "Captain, I have already decided to raise two heads. If our team wants to help me, If so, help me build the pigpen."
