The Pretty Military Wife

Chapter 117: Farming also requires culture

After listening to Liang Xinyue's overall story, Xiao Shun was stunned.

I never thought that there is so much knowledge in farming.

Isn’t it just digging the ground, planting seeds, and growing according to the season?

Why is farming so difficult nowadays?

But listening to it makes people's blood boil.

Indeed, as Liang Xinyue said, if the land can be cultivated as she said, then the food and vegetable supply for the entire regiment can be solved.

Moreover, if we continue to do this in a planned manner, there will be surplus food. Isn't this a contribution to the country?

I always thought that since I was disabled, I just had to endure some hardships, live a good life, and raise my children.

I no longer have any great goals, and no longer have any ideas about contributing to the country. I always think that it would be good enough if I don’t become a burden to the country.

But now it seems that is not the case.

Even if you have broken hands and feet, they can still be useful!

Xiao Shun suddenly couldn't stop crying.

He turned his head, but the sound of sobbing could still be heard. Liang Xinyue understood that he was excited.

There was no persuasion, just let him get excited for a while.

Although this is just a pie in the sky for him, we still have to wait and see what the future holds, and we have to wait and see until our superiors come to inspect it before we can know for sure.

But this cake can stimulate him and give him hope again, so it is a good cake.

Liang Xinyue feels that although the pie has been drawn, as long as she works hard, she will be able to achieve it.

When Zhou Guoliang finished washing the dishes, he saw Xiao Shun still wiping tears:

"What's going on? Did your sister-in-law scold you?"

"No, my sister-in-law really helped me. Lao Zhou, I...I don't know how to thank you two."

The child, who I thought was a useless child, was raised to be very well-behaved by them. I, who I thought was a useless person, was also helped by them.

Xiao Shun knew clearly in his heart that he could never repay this favor!

Zhou Guoliang raised his hand and punched Xiao Shun:

"What are you talking about? What's the point of thanking or not thanking? Do we owe you a thank you or something? Is this helping you? Isn't this helping ourselves?"

"Look, your sister-in-law's belly is getting bigger, and it's inconvenient for her to do some things. Besides, it won't be convenient for her to take care of the child in the future. The biggest benefit of you taking over this matter is that you are helping us."

Xiao Shun glanced at Lao Zhou and understood that Lao Zhou didn't want him to have any mental burden.

Liang Xinyue smiled and said:

"Don't say these things, you two. We are all together. We have a good idea, so we should work hard to do it well. Come on, Lao Xiao, take another look at these things. You must remember them. When the leaders come, you should tell them. Let them know that we are not reclaiming the valley for fun, but for the army."

Liang Xinyue picked out the important things and sorted them out for him again. Then Xiao Shun sorted out his own things, and he had memorized these things in his mind.

After he returned, Zhou Guoliang also picked up his hat and said:

"I'll go back to the group and look for Lao Xu. If we can apply to have this farm become a subsidiary farm of our group, it will be much more convenient in the future."

Liang Xinyue thought for a moment and reminded:

"Remember, even if it is an affiliated group, it is also an independent unit. Lao Xiao must be able to manage it independently. And we must agree to accept agricultural talents from outside to help. It can't be like your pig farm, which only serves the group. This is not good."

Zhou Guoliang stopped walking again after hearing this. He wanted to hear what Liang Xinyue had to say was wrong.

"What's wrong? Come on, tell me and I'll go and argue with Lao Xu later."

Liang Xinyue began to speak:

"Take the pig farm for example. Did you give the task? Did you calculate before giving the task that raising fifteen pigs a year would ensure that everyone would have enough meat to eat during the New Year, and would also solve the problem of leftover food? Don't you think it's a good plan?"

When Zhou Guoliang heard this, he thought, isn't this the gift? They would sell pigs once a year, and that would be enough meat for all the soldiers in the regiment to eat. It would be very lively every year.

Liang Xinyue said:

"If I had a pig farm, I could raise 30 pigs with the same leftovers, so that everyone could have enough meat twice a year."

Zhou Guoliang became interested when he heard this:

"How to raise it?"

"I don't care how I raise them, but the result is that I will only hand over fifteen to you, because your mission is to get fifteen heads. If you want to eat the other fifteen, you have to pay for them."

"Change money?"

When Zhou Guoliang heard that fifteen pigs were used to exchange for money, this was a considerable income, and he immediately whispered:

"Don't say that. Be careful that people will say you are cutting off your capitalist tail. What do you mean by exchanging money? Those pigs were raised with the leftover food from the army. How can you exchange them for money and make them yours? That's not okay."

"Why not? You only need fifteen, but I can find some green fodder myself, and with the leftovers, I can raise thirty. Those fifteen are the fruits of my labor. How can that be considered capitalism?"

"The kind of income you're talking about is earned by exploiting the fruits of other people's labor. That's definitely not acceptable."

rational!

Zhou Guoliang actually thought it made sense!

"What does that have to do with the valley behind the mountain?"

"It's the same logic. If you set up a separate unit and let Cai Laoxiao manage it, we can complete your tasks as much as possible and work more overtime. The things we grow are the income from our labor, right? Can we exchange them for money? We can contribute to the country and let our families live a better life."

"If you set up a subsidiary unit, even if you leave Lao Xiao to manage it, you will definitely arrange some soldiers to do the work during normal times."

"They are different from people like us who work hard to farm. They just want to complete the task."

"As long as they complete their mission, they are not wrong, right?"

Makes sense!

Lao Zhou thought about it seriously.

Liang Xinyue said again:

"When the time comes, it will be your unit in the regiment. Do you have the right to decide who will manage it? And if Lao Zhou leaves and someone else becomes the head of the regiment, do you think Lao Xiao will be able to stand firm?"

Zhou Guoliang was silent.

If he, Gu Sanding and Lao Xu were not here, Lao Xiao, as a disabled hero, could be replaced.

Especially if the valley is really planted and becomes a delicious bun, Lao Xiao will not be able to keep it.

"So, because that land belongs to your army, the superiors must want to bring it under the management of the army. But if they can't control the personnel and economic rights, it will be useless for Lao Xiao to stay."

"The best way is to attach the land to Lao Xiao, who will become a local farmer and lease the land to him for a long term, and let him manage and operate the land. But Lao Xiao must first meet the needs of the group. Even if there is any extra produce, it will be sold to the state first."
