Chapter 30 Actively Sign Up

"Hey, what's going on? You're absolutely right. These are the people who really live their lives.

This matter is simple. You can take us to the reed swamp to check it out and examine the terrain. If it is true that our place is suitable for growing lotus roots.

Next year, I will apply with my superiors to open a special pond for growing lotus roots here, and I can guarantee you that all the lotus roots found in the reeds this year will be yours. "

Zhou Zhenggang laughed heartily after hearing this.

Although the girl's thoughts are a bit stingy, she is right. Life is not easy for every household these days. Anyone who is not stingy is not living a good life.

And it's not because this girl is stingy. She wants to improve her life, but she can't find lotus roots.

Overall, the benefits outweigh the disadvantages.

I can still meet this requirement.

When Xia Zhi heard this, he immediately became happy again.

"real?"

"Of course it's true. Although I, Captain Zhou, sometimes seem a bit arbitrary, I still mean what I say."

"As long as you can help us find suitable terrain for planting lotus roots, you can rest assured that you will be credited with establishing the lotus root planting cooperative in the future."

Zhou Zhengan promised, patting his chest.

The cold lotus root I made during the summer solstice was really delicious. I still have a lingering aftertaste and regret, so I just finished a bowl of egg fried rice and walked out.

That's egg fried rice.

He has eaten countless egg fried rice, but this is the only egg fried rice that he will remember the taste of.

Suddenly I regretted it.

Zhou Zhengan immediately ordered a few team members, and more than a dozen people drove straight to the reed marsh.

Xia Zhi first took them to the reed marsh near Diwozi.

Following Xia Zhi's method, they began to conduct investigations around the reed swamp. These soldiers had experience in the reed swamp.

After searching the entire reed marsh, the result was that in addition to the summer solstice, there was also a large number of lotus roots in the place where lotus roots were dug today.

That place was larger than the place I found this morning on Xia Zhi, and there should be a lot of lotus roots.

They then drove to other places.

In their area, there are actually many places where reed marshes are located.

This place used to be oases, but with desertification, these oases gradually turned into this swamp-type reed swamp.

They started thinking about what to do with developing the place.

With this as a foundation, investigation in other places will be easier.

The troops were divided into three groups, and Zhou Zhengan sent three teams out to sweep all the reed swamps within three days.

The same lotus roots were found in two other places.

They dug up the lotus roots they found and called the report.

Xia Zhi was not idle either. He followed their car everywhere for three days, and even the lotus roots he dug up were not left behind in Xia Zhi.

Lotus roots were sent to the canteen to provide improved meals for all special service personnel.

Not only did she make spicy and sour fried lotus root, she also made cold lotus root, and even made soup with lotus root and pork bones.

Many people enjoyed it.

Xia Zhi made an outstanding contribution to the lotus root matter.

After the superior leaders specially sent professional agricultural personnel to investigate here, they determined that they had the conditions to grow lotus roots here.

And funds were approved from above.

Everyone in Team 6 is inspiring from top to bottom.

They want to build a lotus root planting base so that they can have an income in the future.

You need to know how difficult it is to get funds approved now.

The superior leaders knew that it was a little girl who discovered it, and she was a newly arrived educated youth. They made a big deal and directly gave them meal tickets for the canteen for two months during the summer solstice.

This is already considered the highest reward. You must know that the food in the cafeteria is only suitable for staff in special units like them.

This saved two months of food for Xia Zhi.

You can also eat improved Xiaozao.

Suddenly, Xia Zhi suddenly felt that he had to take a long-term view when doing things in the future.

Look at the benefits this thing brings to you, which are much stronger than that little lotus root starch.

Three days passed quickly.

There was another horn blast early in the morning, and all of their educated youths were no longer as panicked as they were on the first day.

Although some were still lazily gathered outside.

Fortunately, it's much better than the first day.

"Look at how lazy you are. Okay, I won't say more. Starting today, you will divide your personnel to build canals and roads.

I read the names on the list and got on the bus directly. Let's build the canals, and the rest of us will build the roads here. "

Zhou Zhengan looked at the lazy man with sweat on his forehead.

These people still need time to slowly develop.

When these people heard that roads and canals were to be built, their expressions became serious.

After all, although the living conditions were not good and the food was average during these three days, I did nothing.

It is equivalent to sleeping in a den in the ground.

These people have been complaining for the past three days.

It's not like Xia Zhi, Liu Qianjin, Liu Zhiyan and the others who were busy improving the conditions of their nest.

Naturally, I didn’t know that I could do a lot in these three days.

His expression was serious now. Everyone knew that the construction of canals and roads was a big project.

This is hard, tiring, and dangerous work.

"Although I can pronounce names, I hope everyone can be conscious. Although the work of building canals is tiring, the biggest advantage is that one meal a day is provided. It is enough!"

Zhou Zhengan had an idea in mind. No matter what he did, he would send food and grass before the troops moved.

Although these people didn't look like they would work, they were probably still capable of fighting for the sake of food.

As expected, there were a few young people with big appetites who immediately became excited when they heard this. After all, they were also worried that they would not be able to eat the 100 kilograms of food until the next autumn harvest. They could not even think about it.

They immediately raised their hands actively.

"We took the initiative to sign up to repair the canal."

Zhou Zhengan immediately began to praise them when he saw this.

We can't just scold them blindly. In the end, some people might run away with small thoughts. There will be people running away every year, and this year will definitely be no exception.

This is why they were fed cabbage stewed with vermicelli at the beginning.

Unlike the captains of other brigades, Zhou Zhengan didn't think of beating people to death with a stick.

What people fear most is not the predicament, but the lack of hope.

"We are repairing the canal. For lunch, we not only have white flour buns, but also pork stewed with vermicelli. This is quite generous, let's eat as much as we can."

After Zhou Zhengan said this, more than a dozen hands were raised.

Most of the male educated youth raised their hands, and the only one who didn't was the female educated youth.

This was exactly what Zhou Zhengan expected. After all, repairing the canal is hard work and the risk is relatively high. It's useless for female comrades to go.

When Liu Qianjin saw others raise their hands, he also raised his hand.

Unexpectedly, Xia Zhi also raised his hand.

Zhou Zhengan saw Xia Zhi's raised hand and pretended not to see it. Isn't this just adding to the chaos?

Why would a female comrade go to repair the canal?
