Era: I was a farmer at the foot of Yaoling Mountain

Chapter 130 Iron Girl, Surprise after Level 10
"Huhu."

As the last huge rock was cracked, Fang Wei finally breathed a sigh of relief.

There is no doubt that Maoling Team 1 became the loser in this labor competition. Xiatang Team 2 had an obvious advantage and completed today's labor task before four o'clock.

Tie Yanhong was very straightforward and admitted defeat directly.

"That's it for today. We'll find another opportunity to compete next time."

Fang Wei did not laugh at the other party, and immediately took the team members to their residence.

Entering the shed, he threw himself down on his bunk without a word. The conditions on the construction site couldn't be very good, with seven or eight people sleeping in one shed, on large bunk beds.

Regardless of whether he was used to it or not, Fang Wei didn't care and just lay down and fell asleep.

He didn't know how many times he swung the hammer today. The others took turns with two people, but he was the only one who didn't change people from beginning to end.

When he woke up in a daze and just sat up from his bunk, Deng Yuanen came to his side.

"Third brother, do you know what Miss Tie Yanhong's nickname is?"

"Why do you still give girls nicknames? Tell me, what nickname does the Iron Girl have?"

"Third brother, you really know how to tell a joke. My nickname is 'Iron Girl'."

As the leader of the production team, Tie Yanhong charged forward and swung the sledgehammer without any hesitation.

A young girl who dares to challenge herself and do the same heavy work as a man can only be done with a body of iron.

No wonder many people call her the "Iron Girl".

The nickname itself is not funny, mainly because the other person's surname happens to be Tie, and the nickname overlaps with the person himself.

"This girl is quite unique. If Hu Zi marries her, will he still have a place in the family?"

Fang Wei silently worried about his friend for three seconds, then laughed out loud.

To be honest, he still admires Tie Yanhong. As a woman, Tie Yanhong has taught everyone a lesson, telling everyone in a very real way what it means to "hold up half the sky."

the next day.

Xiatang Team 2 and Maoling Team 1 once again launched a labor competition.

Fang Wei's side was full of men, while the other side actually had women, and they worked very hard.

Deng Yuanen no longer had a temper. After ensuring his own labor tasks, he would always find ways to help Tie Yanhong and his team.

Fang Wei turned a blind eye and didn't care about this little thing at all.

After a week, Fang Wei's team and Tie Yanhong's team ranked first and second in task progress in the entire District 1.

Before closing work at the weekend, the deputy commander-in-chief of the engineering command came to the site in person and presented Fang Wei's team with a mobile red flag.

"Comrades, everyone should learn from the Xiatang Second Team Youth Commando. Learn from their excellent qualities of hard work and pioneering spirit! Now I will award them next week's mobile red flag. Everyone applaud!"

In an era of material scarcity, people's mental outlook was very positive.

Thunderous applause broke out at the scene. Deng Yuanen and others' faces turned red with excitement, and their sense of pride was simply overflowing.

Fang Wei was also very excited. Really, he had never thought before that a small floating red flag could make people's blood boil.

The iron girl looked at him with envy and secretly held her breath.

She decided to work hard next week and try to win the mobile red flag.

The next day.

Fang Wei found that the team members were more motivated. Looking at Tie Yanhong's team, each of them seemed to be injected with chicken blood and was working hard to catch up with the progress.

He smiled and shook his head, then shouted, "Everyone, work harder and keep the mobile red flag."

Then he spat into his palm and swung the sledgehammer to continue smashing the stone.

The propaganda team organized by the project command went everywhere to cheer up the builders, and the "labor songs" heard from time to time resounded through the sky.

This kind of scene can only be seen today. If we want to change the face of poverty and backwardness, we must move forward if conditions are available, and we must create conditions if conditions are not available.

It is rare in human history to rely on manpower to implement such a large-scale project.

It is not just one county or one region that is doing this, but a huge upsurge in water conservancy construction has been set off across the country.

The natural disasters in the past few years have taught everyone a profound lesson and made everyone have a new understanding of the role of farmland water conservancy facilities.

Therefore, the builders were able to burst out with great enthusiasm and participate in it.

Near noon, Zheng Hu brought Hao Aizhen and the propaganda team members to the construction site.

"Third brother, we are here to visit everyone."

Pan Lianhua hadn't seen Fang Wei for several days. When they met again after a short separation, her heart was filled with joy.

Later, the propaganda team performed a show for everyone, including a solo by Pan Lianhua.

Many nearby construction workers, including Tie Yanhong's group, gathered around. Life on the construction site was boring, and thanks to these mobile propaganda teams, everyone's spirits remained high.

noon.

Fang Wei and others returned to the shed together.

"Third brother, the team is rewarding everyone today, and I brought some braised pork."

"Okay, I'm craving meat. Where does the meat come from?"

The team had to get Fang Wei's consent before slaughtering the pigs, but he was in Yaojialing and no one talked to him about it.

"We didn't dare to kill the pigs when you weren't with the team, but Grandpa specially sent some pork over, specifically as a reward for the people who were repairing the reservoir. Hehe, we're family after all, and Grandpa must be feeling sorry for his grandson-in-law."

After Zheng Hu explained the whole story, Fang Wei realized that it was all thanks to his grandfather that he could eat meat.

Fang Wei asked Deng Yuanen and others to go get some food, and Zheng Hu and others carried the thermos bucket into the shed.

The thermos was filled with half a bucket of braised pork, and Zheng Hu and others also brought steamed buns, so everyone started eating together, and most of the team members were full.

The food at the construction site is just average. I'll have some meat today, and I think it will help me last another half a month.

"Hu Zi, what's going on between you and Tie Girl? People often ask you intentionally or unintentionally, are you attracted to each other?"

After eating and drinking, even Fang Wei couldn't help but gossip.

As soon as he said this, he realized that something was wrong with Zheng Hu.

Hu Zi, who usually has a domineering personality, actually blushed and hesitated for a long time without saying a word.

"Ah."

After holding it in for a long time, a "hmm" came out of Zheng Hu's mouth.

This made Fang Wei laugh heartily, and he said, "If you're attracted to each other, seize the moment. When the time is right, have your family propose marriage. Make it a quick decision."

After Fang Wei finished speaking, he took Pan Lianhua out for a walk.

"Third brother, I miss you. I will make you something delicious when you come back."

Pan Lianhua couldn't say anything too cheesy, so the words "I miss you" meant everything.

Fang Wei nodded gently, looking at the other person with eyes full of tenderness and affection.

In the afternoon, Hao Aizhen led the propaganda team to perform a few more programs, and then went home with Zheng Hu and others.

No one noticed that their propaganda team had caught the eye of the deputy commander of the engineering headquarters. After a little inquiry, he found out about Hao Aizhen and the others, and came to Fang Wei specifically to tell them that he hoped they would come more often.

"No problem, I'll talk to them later."

There are many propaganda teams active at the construction site, and Hao Aizhen and her team can also take on the task of inspiring people.

Fang Wei agreed without hesitation, and then sent a message to Hao Aizhen.

Of course, he also had a little selfish motive, which was that when the propaganda team from the team came, he could meet Sister Lotus.

After that, the propaganda team would come to the construction site to perform every two or three days, and Fang Wei and Pan Lianhua would meet often.

Tie Yanhong, on the other hand, has changed since Fang Wei brought up the subject.

She no longer held labor competitions specifically with Fang Wei's team, but instead pulled Fang Wei's team together to participate in labor competitions with other teams.

I didn't consider myself an outsider at all.

Time slipped away little by little. Fang Wei shed sweat on the construction site, experiencing both bitterness and joy. It was time to change shifts.

This time, Zheng Bao led the team to the construction site, while Fang Wei, Deng Yuanen, and the others returned to the village. The tractor didn't stay because spring planting was about to begin, so they had to wait until after that.

After spending a month at the construction site, Fang Wei was noticeably darker and thinner.

This made Pan Lianhua very distressed, so she cooked different kinds of food for him every day, hoping to fatten him up.

Fang Wei was also obedient. After returning, he rested at home for three days and rarely went out.

Spring sowing was approaching, so he spent 10 points and quickly upgraded the level of the [Planting Area] to level 10.

As for his golden finger, the difference between the levels is not very obvious, but when you look back after a while, you will find some surprises.

For example, when growing rice, even if the rice seed has reached its yield limit, the higher the level, the closer the yield will be to the upper limit. After all, the limit value given by the system is a range of values, not a fixed value.

Today, the planting area was upgraded to level 10, and there was a very unexpected surprise.

[Owned (temporary) land] → [Farmland] → [Planting area]

【Regional area: 200 million square meters (3000 mu)】

[Area Level: (Level 10, 0\500000)]

[Regional attributes: drought resistance, flood resistance, disease and pest resistance, accelerated growth, increased production and income]

[Planting in this area increases all attributes by an additional 100% (50%), and breeding genetic stability by +1]

Total points: 97892.

The surprise came from [Breeding Genetic Stability +1]. According to Fang Wei's understanding, this matter was very significant and, in a sense, absolutely subversive.

For example, the third-generation rice variety [Nan Guang No. 1] completely declined after three generations, and by the time it reached the third-grade rice variety, it was basically reduced to its original state and lost its value for cultivation.

For example, there is no possibility of saving hybrid rice seeds like the [Nan Guang No. 2].

And now? After being promoted to the Level 10 [Planting Area], breeding rice in it, such as the new [Nan Guang No. ] third-generation rice, can continue for another generation until the next fourth-level rice loses its planting value.

The hybrid rice [Nan Guang No. 2] seeds should be able to be kept for one generation, which means that the second-level rice seeds can be planted, and only the second-level rice seeds are completely unusable.

This is a huge progress in breeding work, and it is no exaggeration to praise it highly.

Of course, this is just Fang Wei's personal judgment. Whether it is accurate or not remains to be verified through practice.

A few days passed quickly.

It's spring sowing season again.

Before starting to plow the soil, the team killed two more pigs.

There were 83 pigs left at the pig farm, including four sows, 4 pigs about to be marketed, and 40 mature pigs. Fang Wei had the team hand in their seven-pig quota for this year, leaving them with 39 pigs.

[Pigs are produced, points +480, total points: 98372 points.]

[Pigs are produced, points +1820 points, total points: 100192 points.]

early morning.

Three large pots were set up in front of the team office, two of which were cooking pork soup, and one was steaming buns.

We serve steamed buns with pork soup for breakfast and braised pork for lunch.

At this time, tables and stools had been placed on the open space. Like the big iron pot, these tables, chairs and benches were also left over from the big pot meals in the past few years.

Time has passed, and who would have thought that the "big pot meal" that was criticized in the past would now see the light of day again in the second team.

Fang Wei came over early and took a look. When he saw Zheng Hu, he pulled him aside to talk.

"Huzi, send someone to deliver a bucket of braised pork to Abao and the others at noon."

"No problem, I'll go there myself and make sure they have meat to eat. By the way, Third Brother, what do we do with the rapeseed we harvest?"

Fang Wei naturally would not leave behind the members who were building the reservoir, and planned to send someone to deliver some braised pork over.

Zheng Hu was willing to make the trip in person, partly because he wanted to see the Iron Girl.

The two met on a construction site, and their relationship progressed rapidly. According to the current situation, the Zheng family will go to the "Iron Girl's" home to propose marriage before next year.

Speaking of this, Zheng Hu suddenly remembered something. The rapeseed harvested a few days ago was still stored in the warehouse.

Fang Wei didn't say anything, and he didn't know whether to use it to extract oil or sell it.

A total of 220 kilograms of rapeseed were harvested from 33000 mu of rapeseed, with an average yield of 150 kilograms per mu. This yield is quite good, with an oil yield of 33%-36%, making oil extraction very cost-effective.

[Harvesting crops, points +33000, total points: 133192 points.]

"Save it for oil pressing until after the spring planting is over."

Fang Wei didn't have time to deal with this matter for the time being, so he asked Zheng Hu to put it aside and press the oil after the spring sowing was completed.

Then he went to get a bowl of pork soup and four steamed buns, and sat at the table with Pan Lianhua and his eldest brother's family.

"Third brother, our family's private plot will need to be turned over soon. I'll go find two people to help. You don't have to worry about it."

Fang Ping ate with big mouthfuls of food, and only after he finished did he tell Fang Wei about his plans.

He knew that his third brother was busy and had no time to take care of their own private plot, so he thought of doing it himself.

"We have a tractor. Let Deng Yuanen help plow the soil, and then just pay the team some extra money for the fuel. I'm not trying to be special. Every member of the team can apply to use the tractor, but they have to wait in line."

Fang Wei smiled and without deliberately lowering his voice, he talked about the latest regulations of the team.

The new regulations state that every member has the right to apply for the use of a tractor, but they must wait in line. Based on the principle of prioritizing public interests over private ones, individuals can only use tractors when the team is not busy.

You don't need to pay for use, but you have to pay for the fuel yourself.

As the captain, Fang Wei doesn't have any special privileges. He has to pay what he should. The only benefit is that he doesn't have to queue.

"That's great. Talk to Yuan En later and ask him to find time to till the family's private plot."

Plowing the soil manually or using animal power is still very hard work.

But a tractor can do it in minutes, increasing labor efficiency by more than 10 times.
