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

Chapter 139 New Second Team, New Look

After leaving the experimental field, Fang Wei went to the [Forestry Breeding Area].

The work in the [Forestry Area] mainly involves several aspects, one is sowing, one is cutting, and the next is transplanting the formed seedlings.

Pan Lianhua just arrived here and is responsible for the cultivation of seedlings.

"lotus."

He came to the seedling raising area and happened to see the lotus busy at work, so he shouted.

"Third brother, you're here? Look, these saplings are growing really well. They can be transplanted after next spring."

Pan Lianhua looked up at the sky. She didn't bring a watch with her, mainly because it was inconvenient to work, and she was afraid of losing it if she took it off.

It was still some time before noon, so he talked to Fang Wei while working.

"You go ahead and do your work. I'm going to go take a walk in the chestnut forest."

Fang Wei did not continue to disturb Pan Lianhua from working, and went to the chestnut forest higher up alone.

The chestnut forest is now basically formed, and the trees are growing very fast, with an average height of more than three meters.

Looking around, you can see a scene full of vitality.

"If this trend continues, we'll be able to bear fruit by the year after next at the latest."

Cultivating economic forests is a long process, but obviously with the support of regional attributes, this process will be greatly shortened.

After checking the chestnut forest, Fang Wei went to the team's oil tea forest.

"Captain, come over here and take a look?"

On the mountain, Fang Wei met Xie Wang.

The other party was transplanting tea oil saplings at this time. The original tea oil forest had extended to a large area and seemed to have begun to take shape.

"Yes, you have achieved great results. Last time I came, I only saw scattered saplings, but now they have grown into a forest."

You can tell at a glance whether you are working hard or not.

Xie Wang and his colleagues transplanted the trees every day, and after a while, they could see results. Although it wasn't as large as the chestnut forest, it was still quite impressive.

The chestnut forest is cleared woodland, so all that needs to be done is transplanting. But here, some of the other trees need to be cleared, and sometimes even the old tea trees need to be cut down.

The amount of labor required for the two is different, which shows that Xie Wang and others did not slack off at all.

"Thank you for the compliment, Captain. It makes me feel embarrassed. This year's task has been completed ahead of schedule. We will strive to complete the replacement of all oil tea tree varieties within four years."

When Xie Wang spoke, there was a mixture of pride, humility, and a bit of a desire to take credit.

Fang Wei couldn't help but smile, so he praised the other party a few more times, which really made the other party ecstatic.

Xie Wang was upset because he couldn't afford to pay a penny when his wife was hospitalized last time. In addition, he was grateful to Fang Wei for saving his life, so he became diligent.

But it is difficult to completely change the things in his character, but Fang Wei no longer minds.

When judging a person, one should of course look at the main point, and not always focus on and magnify their shortcomings. Therefore, Fang Wei flattered him by saying some nice things, which could be considered as a form of encouragement.

in the afternoon.

Fang Wei chatted with Zhao Jinsheng and went to the forest of the former third team to check it out.

Then we decided to plant some tea oil trees here. There are many tea oil tree seedlings in the [afforestation area] now, so we can start grafting now without waiting until next spring.

Spring and autumn are both good seasons for planting trees by cuttings.

The merged [Forestry and Picking Area] covers an area of up to 6000 acres of forest land, while the two teams' forest land combined is only more than 4000 acres, which can definitely achieve full coverage.

"Old Zhao, I've decided to plant tea oil trees on the mountain. You'll be in charge of this. Specifically, we'll plant them in this area. Cut down these trees and use them as firewood, and that'll free up space."

Fang Wei had this plan when distributing tea oil before.

As long as everyone works hard, the original second and third teams will soon be able to become one.

"Okay, I'll arrange the staff now."

Zhao Jinsheng may not be very capable, but his execution ability is no problem.

After coordination within the team, Zhao Jinsheng led his team to start a vigorous afforestation project on the mountain.

This situation will continue until the autumn harvest, and by then, it is estimated that the oil tea seedlings in the [Afforestation Area] will be out of supply.

Fang Wei felt that everything was moving in a good direction and that he was very lucky. With the merger of the two teams, the land area had at least doubled, and there were not many troubles.

The team then began to harvest peanuts. They harvested 40 kilograms of peanuts from 26000 mu of sloping land, with an average yield of 650 kilograms per mu, finally reaching the yield limit of the current peanut variety.

The same was true for his own one acre of sloping land, which yielded 550 kilograms of soybeans, also reaching the production limit.

[Harvest crops, points +550]

[Harvest crops, points +26000]

Total points: 234225.

Fang Wei and Fang Ping selected 400 kilograms of seeds from the harvested soybeans, and the team selected 18000 kilograms of seeds from the harvested peanuts.

Fang Wei immediately informed Captain Yang, who and two other people hurried over and bought all the seeds.

There were only 400 kilograms of soybeans, so Captain Yang didn't share any with the other two people. He loaded them directly into the truck and gave Fang Ping 1600 yuan, which was 4 yuan per kilogram.

The team sold peanut seeds at a price of 2.6 yuan per catty, earning a total of 46800 yuan, which was another huge income.

Next, the team will plant flue-cured tobacco, and Fang Wei’s one acre of sloping land will be used to plant peanuts.

night.

Fang Ping gave the money to his third brother. Fang Wei only took 1000 yuan and gave the remaining 600 yuan to the other party.

"Third brother, you are always like this. I think I have taken too much."

"Brothers don't talk about that. If you're given something, take it. If you're not given something, don't worry about it."

Fang Wei smiled and stuffed 600 yuan into his brother's hand, then pushed him out and told Fang Ping to go back and eat.

Pan Lianhua watched the scene with a smile, and agreed with the man's approach in her heart.

Brothers are close in battle, so of course they should help each other. It is the most foolish thing to turn against each other for a little benefit.

"Girl, put the money away."

After the eldest brother left, Fang Wei gave the 1000 yuan in his hand to Pan Lianhua and asked her to keep it safe.

Only the two of them knew where the money was kept at home. If he needed money, he could take it out at any time. He just had to tell Pan Lianhua.

vice versa.

Sister Lotus likes this the most. The atmosphere at home is quite relaxed and harmonious, and people will feel happy involuntarily when staying in the house.

The next day.

Fang Wei took a look around the construction site of the new team headquarters in the morning. A row of brick-concrete tiled houses rose from the ground, and there was a large piece of flat land in front of the door.

After the house is built, this large piece of land will be paved with cement and used as a new threshing ground.

From now on, whether it is for drying clothes, holding meetings or eating from a big pot, there will be a more spacious venue.

All kinds of building materials are approved directly by the county, but you have to pay to purchase them.

In addition, the team's [pig farm] has also been expanded. These are all small projects and will be completed before the autumn harvest.

Time slipped away slowly, and in the blink of an eye it was Mid-Autumn Festival again. Fang Wei and the team leaders discussed it over and over again and decided that on the day of the festival, everyone would gather together to eat a big pot meal.

This is the best way to integrate members of different production teams.

The dinner for nearly 300 people was quite spectacular. In the morning, tables, chairs and benches were laid out in the newly built threshing ground, and members with good cooking skills on both sides had already started working.

The original three teams’ pig-producing mission was completed just a few days ago.

After handing over 7 live pigs, there were still 4 live pigs left in the team. Although they were a bit thin, Zhao Jinsheng still contributed these 4 pigs.

The actions of Zhao Jinsheng and others won the favor of the original members of the second team, and Fang Wei also pulled out four big fat pigs and slaughtered them together.

[Pigs are produced, points +1120, total points: 235345 points.]

There are 93 pigs left on the farm.

The output of the original three teams cannot bring points to Fang Wei for the time being. All the products will not be settled uniformly until after New Year's Day.

A big pot meal certainly cannot feed 8 pigs, after all, there are less than 300 people.

The extra meat was naturally distributed to everyone, not based on work points, but on the number of people. Members on both sides were very satisfied.

Before dinner started, Fang Wei said a few words.

"This is the first time we've eaten from the same big pot since our two production teams merged. Let's take this opportunity to get to know each other better. We're already one family, so we shouldn't separate ourselves anymore."

"Don't worry, Captain. We have a good relationship. People from both sides have proposed marriage to each other. Why should we separate ourselves? We will all be relatives in the future."

"Yeah, maybe after the autumn harvest we can have a few wedding banquets."

After Fang Wei finished speaking, there was laughter from the audience.

After he sat down, he turned around and asked Pan Lianhua, "Sister, did someone really go to Team Three to propose marriage?"

"Don't you know? The militia teams often patrol back and forth between the two villages. Two of them, who are close to the water, have taken a fancy to a girl from the third team. I heard that the marriage is already arranged."

Women are more informed about this kind of information, so Pan Lianhua immediately told Fang Wei about the situation.

Fang Wei nodded. He really didn't know, but this was undoubtedly a good thing.

After a while, the food was ready, and everyone lined up to get their food. Each person got four servings of vegetables, a bowl of pork soup, and plenty of rice.

There was no particular emphasis on seating for the meal; people could sit together freely. The Fang brothers, their two children, Tian Guihua, and Pan Lianhua sat together. Zheng Hu, Deng Yuanen, and others also sat at the table.

"Huzi, you have to hurry up. When are you going to ask Miss Tie for marriage?"

Today's food was delicious, and Fang Weiyi teased Zheng Hu while eating.

Zheng Hu was not at all shy and replied cheerfully, "My father said that he would go to Yan Hong's house to propose marriage after the autumn harvest."

When the people around heard this, they all laughed.

Fang Wei then looked at Deng Yuanen again. The guy quickly lowered his head to eat, so he didn't say a word.

The atmosphere on the scene was good. The people from the two villages were not unfamiliar with each other. They had recently gone to the mountains together to pick tea seeds and other products, so they were actually almost familiar with each other.

Today we sat together again to eat from the big pot, and the little estrangement that was left before quickly disappeared.

“This big pot meal is worth it!”

Fang Wei secretly thought that this was exactly the effect he needed, otherwise what was the point of merging the two teams?
After dinner, he and Pan Lianhua quickly packed up and went to the Yao village with the things they had prepared in advance.

They eat a big pot meal in the team at noon and spend the holiday with grandpa in the evening. The two are quite busy.

Half a month after the festival, the team welcomed the autumn harvest.

All the ducks in the rice fields have been taken back, and the heavy rice ears are waiting to be harvested.
Following Fang Wei's order, all the strong laborers including those from the original third team came to help cut the rice, and the harvesting site suddenly became lively.

Sweat is flying, strength lies in numbers.

The 120 acres of fields and 100 acres of experimental fields were harvested quickly, and then they were dried, threshed, weighed, and stored in warehouses.

"Old Zhao, how long will the harvesting work take over there?"

"It will take another half a month. It will be much earlier for you guys."

"It's just off the road. When the harvest starts over there, I'll mobilize everyone to help."

Accountant Liu, Wenshu Fang and others were still compiling statistics, while several team leaders stood together and chatted casually.

Later, Accountant Liu came over with the statistical report.

"Incredible, simply incredible!"

All 120 acres of land were planted with [Nongken 58] rice seeds, with an output of 750 kilograms per mu and a total output of 90000 kilograms.

100 mu of hybrid rice, that is, the third-generation rice variety [Nan Guang No. 1025], produced 102500 jin per mu, with a total output of jin.

Accountant Liu walked and shouted, and when everyone knew the data, the scene erupted in cheers.

Fang Wei took a few steps back and left the crowd.

At this moment, news was passing by his eyes and he couldn't wait to see it.

[Harvest crops, points +90000]

[Harvest crops, points +102500]

Total points: 427845.

[Please note that the yield per mu of the current hybrid rice variety (Nanguang No. 1050) is about to reach its upper limit, which is 1100 to kilograms per mu.]

Fang Wei knew that the [Nanguang No. 2] hybrid rice seeds had been completely formed and had reached their peak in one step, with an output of more than a thousand gold coins per mu.

Of course, he was cultivating rice seeds, and actual planting in other production teams would definitely not reach this level. The yield per mu was estimated to be between 900 and 950 jin.

That's also amazing.

Recalling when he first returned to his hometown to farm, the team's rice yield per mu in two seasons was only about 300 kilograms.

He and his elder brother traveled through mountains and rivers to the valley to reclaim an acre of land, planted sweet potatoes and potatoes, and survived the disaster year with great difficulty.

Now, you can eat rice for two or three meals a day, and that’s enough.

When Fang Wei was lost in thought, he asked the cadres to disperse and revealed himself standing behind the crowd.

Then everyone bowed to him in unison.

"What are you doing? I'm still young, and it's far from the time for you to bow to me three times. Disband, disperse. Tomorrow we'll start plowing the soil and planting rapeseed."

It would be a lie to say that he wasn't moved, but Fang Wei couldn't stand such a sentimental scene.

He waved his hands, not sure if he wanted to disperse the crowd or to dispel his own emotions. After saying a word, he turned around and returned home.

Pan Lanhua hurried to catch up, her face already in tears.

Half a month later.

Zheng Hu and Zhao Jinsheng led people to harvest the rice planted by Team Three.

After the harvest, Zheng Hu no longer cared about them because he was going to start leading people to grow rapeseed.

Zhao Jinsheng then organized people to go to the public to collect grain, and Fang Wei sent them two large tractors to help. This was also the last time that the third team, as a first-level grassroots organization, paid grain.

Starting from next year, the new second team after the merger will unify the tasks of delivering grain and live pigs. The specific amount will have to wait for the brigade and the commune to re-verify it before the task indicators are issued.
