Chapter 314 July 3
On March 3rd, the Peach Blossom Spring is already covered with lush grass and singing birds, with the scene being filled with busy farming activities.
The layers of straw mats covering the vegetable greenhouse have now all been taken down.
The bright sunshine shines warmly in every corner of the greenhouse.
Li Lanzhen watched as everyone carefully rolled up the cotton straw curtains that were sewed on all four sides and filled with reed fluff and put them into the warehouse.
This cotton straw curtain plays a big role in winter.
When the weather was cold, they were covered with a thin mat and a reed curtain on top.
The warming effect is very good. This is a good idea that Huang Shanhua and his team came up with when winter comes.
During that period, adults and children all went to the reed marsh, carefully picked the reed flowers one by one, and brought them to the eleven trees.
Carefully put the reed flowers into a straw bag that is sewn on all four sides with only one opening left.
In this way, one bed of thick, airtight reed cotton door curtains was made.
Zhang Deshui also told Huang Shanhua that they would have to make more reed fluff cotton curtains this autumn.
There were more and more people in Taohuayuan, so Li Lanzhen and Han Shunde discussed it with others.
The large canteen will continue to be implemented, and the work point system must be enforced.
This not only fully mobilizes the enthusiasm of adults and children to work hard, but also makes it easier to manage so many people.
Li Lanzhen discovered that since she went to Wangyou Valley to pick up Aunt Huaihua and Han Shunkui's family.
Han Shunde became even more motivated. He had already arranged many things for her before she even thought of them.
After Han Shunkui arrived, he invited Bai Houpu to look at his legs.
Bai Houpu said that after he broke his leg, it has not healed well because he did not have his bones straightened in time.
Even if he is cured, he will still walk with a limp.
If you want to solve this problem, you must break the already grown leg bones, reset them, and then heal them.
Later, the mother and her two daughters decided to break the leg bones and set them again.
Aunt Huaihua is very grateful to Li Lanzhen.
It was she who brought them here. She originally thought that they could just eat coarse food, but as long as she was with her children and grandchildren and felt happy, it didn't matter if she had to endure any hardship.
But I didn’t expect that life would be so much better than I could have imagined!
When I came here that night, I didn't see the scene here.
When she woke up the next morning, she discovered Han Shunde's house and yard, which shocked her!
It didn't take long for Li Lanzhen to lead them out of Forget-Your-Trouble Valley and build such a beautiful, solid, sturdy, safe and warm home.
Still haven't recovered from the shock.
Han Shunde brought them to the cafeteria, and Aunt Huaihua was even more shocked while they were eating!
The vegetables on the table were all fresh green, and there were potatoes stewed with pheasant and rabbit meat. In addition, everyone, regardless of whether they were adults or children, had a boiled egg!
Although they drank corn porridge and ate wild vegetable cakes.
But she always felt that it was better than the corn paste and vegetable pancakes she had eaten in Forget-Your-Trouble Valley.
Finally I found out that lard was mixed into the wild vegetable pancakes. Of course, the pancakes made in this way are delicious!
There were so many eggs! There was so much lard! Most importantly, they were willing to give it to everyone!
After daybreak, Han Shunde took them to the vegetable greenhouse to work.
Aunt Huaihua’s eyes were about to pop out.
They couldn't help but exclaim, this Li Lanzhen is such a blessed person, she is their lucky star!
That old man was right about this!
She secretly rejoiced that her decision was right, and leaving that damn old man and that woman was the best thing she had ever done!
I am no longer bullied or controlled by them. Now I live freely with my son in this fairy-like place.
Therefore, Aunt Huaihua is in a very good mental state and smiles all day long.
Li Lanzhen took into consideration that there are more and more people now and the canteen is under a lot of pressure.
She discussed with Xue Nizi and decided to let Aunt Huaihua come into the cafeteria and work with them.
With the addition of girls helping in the kitchen, the pressure of cooking in the canteen is not so great.
When the ice and snow melt and the soil underground thaws.
All the work in Taohuayuan began.
The first thing to start was building the yard and the house.
The initial budget calls for an additional 20 yards and houses.
More houses were being built in the training camp. They didn't even need to build yards, just rows of dormitories with inner and outer rooms.
Zhang Deshui disagreed with putting all the people to build houses and yards.
He wants to focus the main labor force on reclaiming wasteland.
After arguing for a long time, they finally decided that anyone who participated in collective land reclamation would receive ten work points per day.
Those who participate in the construction of the courtyard and house can get ten work points depending on the type of work, and the minimum is five work points.
Everyone in Taohuayuan now knows that work points are equal to silver.
Even the youngest Douhua and his friends carried small backpacks all day long, shouting that they wanted to earn work points.
There are many jobs that can earn work points, ranging from reclaiming wasteland and planting crops, to building houses and yards, to going up the mountain to collect grass for pigs.
If you hand in three normal-sized baskets of pig grass to the pig farm, you can get two work points.
For example, for the small baskets that Xiao Douhua and his friends carried, four baskets of pig feed could earn them one work point.
So the children are happy all day long.
They received one work point on the first day, and when they were eating in the dining room, they happily surrounded Li Lanzhen and told her that they could earn money and no longer eat for free.
After hearing this, Li Lanzhen's eyes became warm. She hugged the children in her arms and kept praising them for being so capable!
The work of reclaiming wasteland was done because there were iron plowshares and the land was not very hard.
There are also relatively few stones and grass roots in the soil.
With a dozen iron plowshares, plus the two iron plowshares that Li Lanzhen retrieved from the cave of the old village chief's house when she picked up Aunt Huaihua, the land could be reclaimed quickly and efficiently.
The iron plowshare never had time to rest; the old ox and the people took turns working it.
So it was March 3rd.
More than a thousand acres of paddy fields have been reclaimed near the river.
More than 900 acres of dry land have been reclaimed near Dongshan.
Li Lanzhen and Zhang Deshui discussed that they should no longer increase the number of paddy fields and continue to reclaim dry land.
Rice is planted in the paddy fields, and on the dry land, Li Lanzhen plans to plant 1000 acres of wheat and 1000 acres of corn.
As for sweet potatoes and potatoes, they will be planted depending on how much land is reclaimed.
Li Lanzhen originally planned to plant sweet potatoes and potatoes in the vegetable greenhouse, but was stopped by Zhang Deshui.
"Sister, after we turn over the soil in the vegetable greenhouse, let it dry in the sun, and then we'll add some fertilizer to let the soil cool down a bit. When winter comes, we'll plant vegetables and sell them for money."
Li Lanzhen looked at him and smiled, "Why? Brother Zhang, we are not going to grow sweet potatoes and potatoes this winter, but vegetables?"
Zhang Deshui also recalled last year when he argued with them until his face turned red and he insisted on growing sweet potatoes and potatoes.
He also laughed out loud, "That's because we have reclaimed more land this year and there is enough food to eat.
These greenhouses are used to grow vegetables and sell them for money.”
Building houses and yards is also fast.
By March 20rd, houses and yards had been built.
50 dormitories were added to the training camp.
After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Manager Hua came again.
200 orphans were sent to Xuanshen.
There are currently more than 500 people participating in training in the camp.
Everything went quickly and orderly according to plan.
