Chapter 98 Asking for Leave

They finally cleaned up the house these two days, and prepared the firewood for winter.

The piglets in the pigpen were delivered on time. Li Dahu really kept his word, but it was hard to catch the chicks now, so we had to wait for a while.

Everyone was eager to get started, thinking that after the ten big pigs were raised and the task pigs were delivered, they would have seven left.

Selling them would make a lot of money.

At least everyone could get a lot.

This gathering was definitely a motivation.

Even Jiang Xiaoxiao felt that they had to raise pigs well.

At this time, everyone decided to go and see the land in the forest farm first.

After all, the land had been abandoned for many years. While the land was not frozen yet and could be repaired, they had to rest quickly. Otherwise, it would be difficult to do it in the spring of next year.

When they arrived at the land, they found that although the land had been abandoned for many years, it was still good land. However, this forest land was not suitable for growing food, and the main thing was that there would not be any good harvest even if it was planted.

Most of the forest land is between trees. The mountains and forests here are dense, so it is probably not as suitable to grow ginseng as anything else.

Jiang Xiaoxiao is familiar with the place. She has lived on this land for decades, although she later became a village doctor.

But she knows the situation on this farm better than anyone else.

This forest land is actually the best for growing ginseng.

It’s just that it’s difficult to grow ginseng seedlings.

But she is there.

Think about those ways.

Anyway, at the very least, she still has her space. If nothing else, growing seedlings shouldn’t be a problem.

Jiang Xiaoxiao suggested.

"I think this land is good. Let's just turn the land over in the next two days. I saw a lot of manure in the toilet on the farm. When the time comes, discuss with the director of the forest farm to get some manure and compost this land.

We can take advantage of this time to grow some ginseng seedlings in advance and plant them directly in the field.

Although we don't have much task grain, if the ginseng is well grown, it is estimated that it can also create a lot of economic benefits, which is much better than the grain we grow. It looks like this land is at least 30 acres. If all 30 acres are planted with ginseng, the yield should be good."

Jiang Xiaoxiao estimated that they have people who specialize in collecting ginseng here.

Of course, this is not just one person. Those who collect ginseng are salesmen from nearby counties and cities.

It depends on how ginseng is planted. If it is planted in the forest, there will be no harvest in a year. The important thing is that the seeds of ginseng are the cost, a lot of money.

Most people don't have the patience to take care of such precious things now.

It is impossible to sell ginseng at a high price without five or six years.

Generally, ginseng, which is harvested in one year, is basically very cheap. It is very difficult to grow ginseng, and pests and diseases are also very serious.

No one spends that much effort.

Everyone was stunned.

Song Moting smiled and asked, "Jiang Xiaoxiao, it seems that you know something?"

He was very surprised. This Jiang Xiaoxiao seemed to know a little bit about everything. If he was not mistaken, he had seen Jiang Xiaoxiao's resume.

A clean and simple person.

Parents love her, and her brothers and sisters are ordinary people. She is the youngest child in the family.

At first glance, she was spoiled.

But the person she saw was not like that.

Jiang Xiaoxiao was bending down to crush the soil on the ground and check the soil quality. When she heard this, she raised her head. The fine sunlight in the forest sprinkled on her face, with different light and shadow.

It was a bit dreamy.

"Song Moting, you really guessed it. I really know a little bit, but only a little bit, not much. I just heard people talk about how to grow ginseng seeds and how to plant them. I don't know much about the rest. I just heard about it. I really haven't planted it myself."

This is absolutely true.

Jiang Xiaoxiao had indeed heard about it from others and seen how others did it, but she had never done it herself.

Because this was what her teacher did.

Before his death, the old man had always been a land keeper in the forest farm.

"It doesn't matter if you haven't planted it before, we haven't planted it before either. At least you have a set of skills and can explain it. We are completely in the dark. How should we deal with this forest land! We will listen to you!"

Gu Dali said happily, and the others nodded.

There are old people in the production team to teach us how to plant grain, but there is really no place to ask for ginseng.

Jiang Xiaoxiao was not polite.

They started to turn the land from the beginning of the day.

In order to plant ginseng next year, the land this year must be deeply plowed and carefully cultivated, but there are only 30 acres of land in total, so it can be done anyway.

The land was turned over.

Jiang Xiaoxiao also took people to pick up the rotten leaves from the fallen leaves in the forest and sprinkled them on the land again and again.

These are natural organic fertilizers.

Compared with those manures, they are more suitable for ginseng growth.

Song Moting and his team took the lead and carried the poles back.

No one disliked them.

Li Dahu and Wang Zai from Team 11 came to see with the captain.

Seeing that they had started to clean up so quickly and were working hard, they could not help but nod with satisfaction.

Whether this land can be harvested or not, their attitude is correct, just for this enthusiasm.

They are all worthy of praise.

Jiang Xiaoxiao asked for leave as soon as she saw the captain.

Ask for leave! ?

Yes!

Jiang Xiaoxiao wanted to visit.

Her elder sister Jiang Yue was also here, but not on the same farm.

Taking advantage of the slack season in winter, she had time to visit, and she also wanted to take the opportunity to send some food to her parents.

It was almost the New Year in December, and although the family was not short of food, Jiang Xiaoxiao thought it would be better to send some.

During this period, many educated youths should have sent food to their families, and it is legitimate to send it back by myself.

It also allows parents to enjoy the filial piety of their daughter.

"Ask for leave! Do you want to go back to the city?"

Li Dahu was nervous when he heard this.

The educated youths have started to be active these days, and quite a few of them have asked for leave.

But there have been cases where they have asked for leave and never came back, and each team leader is on guard against this trick.

Seeing Li Dahu's suspicious eyes, Jiang Xiaoxiao naturally knew why.

Smiling and explaining, "Captain, I'm not going back to the city. My eldest sister is working in the first team of the Northwest Farm. I just want to see her. Two sisters are in the same place, and we can't not even see each other. I also want to see how my eldest sister is doing!

I'm afraid it will snow in winter and it will be difficult to walk. It just so happens that there is not much work recently!"

Said frankly, Li Dahu was relieved when he heard it.

The Northwest Farm is three hundred miles away from them. In fact, it is far, but if it is considered the distance they came, it is not far.

Seriously speaking, they belong to the same region, or even the same county.

It is unreasonable for two sisters to stay in the same place and not see each other.

I also felt a little sympathy in my heart. Two people from this family actually came to join the team.

Their family must have no backing. Ordinary families can't do anything.

Jiang Xiaoxiao has always behaved very well. Li Dahu waved his hand and said, "Okay! You will go with me to get a letter of introduction later. Tomorrow morning, there will be a transport vehicle from the production team going to the county. You can just go with them, so you don't have to walk alone."

The distance to the county is not short.

Jiang Xiaoxiao smiled and thanked the captain, followed Li Dahu back to get the letter of introduction, and came back to prepare some things.

Of course, she didn't forget about the seedlings.

She specially asked Guo Dongjun, the director of the forest farm, for the seeds.

Jiang Xiaoxiao spread them in her own space, and in just one minute she found that the ginseng seedlings had grown a lot.

Jiang Xiaoxiao was so scared that she quickly took them out and put them in the soil in the seedling house next door.

If she waited any longer, the first batch of ginseng would be grown by herself.

That can't be explained.

However, when everyone found out that the ginseng seedlings had sprouted the next day, they were also very surprised, because no one knew how long it would take for ginseng seedlings to grow, and no one really doubted it.

At night, Song Moting knocked on the door of Jiang Xiaoxiao and her friends' room.

Jiang Xiaoxiao went out and was shocked.

Song Moting was holding two wild rabbits in one hand and three pheasants in the other. They had all been slaughtered and cleaned up.

"You go to see your sister, it's not good to go empty-handed. You can handle this thing. You are a good cook, so you must know how to make it. It can be considered a gift."

Jiang Xiaoxiao looked at Song Moting in a daze.

Is this person too good to herself?

Song Moting and his male educated youth did not dare to act recklessly.

This is not to follow the old man in the forest farm. He went up the mountain twice and watched others hunt rabbits and pheasants in the mountain.

The people in the forest farm turned a blind eye.

They knew it in their hearts.

Song Moting went up the mountain as soon as he went down today.

It's not to mention that Song Moting is really capable. He caught so many things by himself.

Jiang Xiaoxiao accepted it with a smile and didn't say anything.

She didn't think about what to take when she went to Jiang Yue's place.

She would take the food on the way, and she could only see what else she could buy in the county town.

Song Moting was thoughtful.

"Song Moting, thank you, I really didn't expect you to have this ability. I'll make it in a while, and you can also satisfy your cravings."

Jiang Xiaoxiao looked at so many things, she couldn't take them all by herself.

Although it was a thoughtful gesture, she couldn't be too selfish.
