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

Two days passed.

Captain Yang and others brought 10 kilograms of peanuts and 15 kilograms of soybeans, and exchanged them for 1 kilograms of peanut seeds and 1.5 kilograms of soybean seeds.

These peanuts and soybeans have not been distributed to everyone yet. We will do so at the end of the year.

Next, construction began on the two rows of dormitories arranged by Fang Wei. As permanent buildings, the dormitories were built very solidly and with generous materials.

Since we are going to build a dormitory, we must do it all at once, otherwise the money will be wasted.

"Captain, the people from the coal mine are here. They've brought the coal we need. They want to buy 20 pigs and 400 ducks."

In fact, every year of life is a circle that repeats itself.

At this time of year every year, the team would buy coal to make honeycomb coal, and then distribute it to everyone for winter heating.

The coal mine team has become stable, no one mentions the past anymore, and it is time to share what they have.

The second team needed coal and the mine needed meat, and the two hit it off.

"No problem, just arrange it as you like."

This has become a routine, and Fang Wei is too lazy to ask about it.

Zheng Hu asked the members to unload the coal. The other party loaded 20 pigs and 400 ducks, settled the bill, and then left.

[Produces piglets, points +6240]

[Produces Mallard, points +1600]

Total points: 1534918.

There are still 158 pigs left in the pig farm and 1700 ducks left in the poultry house.

The team earned a total of 5764.80 yuan.

"Huzi, there are a few things we need to do recently. First, we need to quickly build the poultry houses and dormitories on the mountain. Second, we need to send people to dredge and maintain the canals. Third, we need to sell 30 pigs and 500 ducks to the cement factory. Have them come to trade as soon as possible."

There wasn't much to do in the team, so after Fang Wei made some arrangements, he took his wife, children, and Wang Zhuyun to the Yao village.

He was going to attend the village's year-end summary meeting and help them formulate a production plan for the coming year.

This was what he promised Grandpa when he married Pan Lianhua, so Pan Lianhua would live with him at the foot of the mountain. Grandpa slowly handed over the power in his hands, and he gradually became the new leader of the Yao village.

The Yao village is a very special place, different from other production teams.

"Son-in-law, this year's harvest is very good, and we have enough money and food. But we are short of cloth coupons, and we can't even make new clothes. Can you help us think of a way?"

After the summary meeting, everyone did not discuss the production plan for the next year, but instead posed a difficult problem to Fang Wei.

Everyone was short of cloth coupons these days. Because he was elected as a representative, his family had enough cloth coupons, but it could not solve the cloth coupon problem of the entire village.

"I'll think about this carefully. It may not be accomplished, so don't get your hopes up. Next, let's discuss the production plan for next year."

Fang Wei spoke the truth, without making any excuses but also without making any promises.

Afterwards, Grandpa scolded the guy who raised the problem severely. Is that what a human being would say to solve the problem of needing cloth coupons for the entire village?
The man also said that he was joking at the time. He went back to apologize to Fang Wei, but was scolded by Pan Lianhua again.

Fang Wei didn't really care. It didn't matter whether he was the leader of the Yao village or not. He was just doing it for his grandfather's sake.

If someone gives you a difficult problem in the future, don't blame him for giving up.

The family stayed in the mountains for half a month. Fang Wei helped the village to improve the production plan for the next year, and then returned to the village with his family and sister.

"Third brother, the team has distributed honeycomb coal. I put it in the house for you."

During the time Fang Wei was away, the team had already made honeycomb coal and distributed it to the members.

The poultry house on the mountain has been completed after construction around the autumn harvest, and the progress on the dormitory side is also not slow. It is estimated that it will be almost finished in a few days.

Fang Ping helped his third brother get honeycomb coal, and Tingting helped feed the chickens at home most of the time.

Tingting attends classes at the team's primary school, goes home for lunch every day, and helps with housework during her breaks.

"Okay, I understand. Big brother, I brought you some winter bamboo shoots, you can take them back later."

There is no need to be polite between brothers. Fang Ping came over to take a look when he learned that his third brother had returned. He stayed for less than five minutes and left with some winter bamboo shoots.

in the afternoon.

Fang Wei went to the mountain to take a look and saw a brand new poultry house rising from the ground in the woods.

Simple water pipes made of bamboo were used to bring in mountain spring water, and a simple gravel road was built leading to the foot of the mountain.

The poultry house is not located high, near the halfway point of the mountain. The main purpose of building a road is to facilitate the transportation of supplies and the removal of contaminated straw and chicken manure.

He felt very good about it, so he designated the newly built poultry house as [Poultry House No. 1].

[Temporary facilities] → [Production facilities] → [Poultry house No. 1]

【Facility Level: (Level 1, 0\10)】

[Facility attributes: disease prevention, strengthening, accelerated growth, increased egg production, nesting]

[Raising chickens in this building will increase all attributes by an additional 5%]

The poultry house at home has been designated as revoked. Just three chickens are not enough trouble, not to mention that it is still a question whether every household will be allowed to raise chickens and ducks next year.

The eggs produced in [Poultry House No. 1] will be distributed to the members regularly. With the blessing of these attributes, not only will the egg production rate of the chickens be high, but the speed of slaughtering the chickens will also be fast. Everyone will definitely not be short of eggs and chicken to eat.

Large-scale centralized breeding can greatly reduce costs and yield greater returns than free-range breeding by members.

The main reason for raising chickens in large quantities is the fear of fowl plague, but the poultry houses have good properties, so the chickens and ducks have enough resistance and naturally will not get sick.

"Then let's upgrade the level of [Poultry House No. 1], and once the levels of Poultry House No. 1 and No. 2 are equal, we can merge them."

Fang Wei tried it and found that [Poultry House No. 1] and [Poultry House No. 2] could be merged, and [Well No. 1] and [Well No. 2] could also be merged. There was no obstacle to merging similar items.

However, there is a threshold for merging. It is best to adjust the levels of the two to the same before merging. This is the optimal solution.

So he spent 166660 points to upgrade the level of Poultry House No. 1 to level 10.

[Temporary facilities] → [Production facilities] → [Poultry house No. 1]

【Facility Level: (Level 10, 0\500000)】

[Facility attributes: disease prevention, strengthening, accelerated growth, increased egg production, nesting]

[Raising chickens in this building will increase all attributes by an additional 50%]

Total points: 1368258.

"Merge [Poultry House No. 1] and [Poultry House No. 2] and upgrade them to Level 11."

Fang Wei then chose to merge the two poultry houses and spent 50 points to upgrade their level to level 11.

After a while, the merged and upgraded information popped up in front of me.

[Temporary facilities] → [Production facilities] → [Poultry houses (No. 1 and No. 2)]

[Facility Level: (Level 11, 0\100 million)]

[Facility attributes: disease prevention, strengthening, accelerated growth, increased egg production, nesting]

[Raising chickens in this building increases all attributes by an additional 55%] [Total points: 868258 points.]

After the merger, it is more concise, otherwise it will be very trivial.

接下来，他又把【2号水井】等级从1级提升到了10级，消耗了166660点点数。然后将【1号水井】和【2号水井】进行了合并，再将其等级提升到了11级

[Facility] → [Water Conservancy Facilities] → [Wells (No. 1, No. 2)]

[Facility Level: (Level 11, 0\100 million)]

[Facility attributes: sufficient water source, high water quality, water volume control, well-drilling skills]

[After this water is put into use, all attributes will be increased by an additional 110%]

Total points: 368258.

After the merger, the various facilities and areas will be less trivial, and future upgrades will cost less points.

After doing this, he was in a very happy mood. Then he hummed a little tune and went down the mountain to the construction site of the dormitory.

The roofs of these two rows of dormitories have been completed, and they will take some time to be decorated inside before they can be put into use.

Fang Wei felt very satisfied and went back home leisurely.

evening.

Fang Tao came back from school and shouted as soon as he entered the door: "There are no classes recently. It's vacation time. Go to school next week."

"What are you yelling about? Why aren't you in school?"

Tian Guihua glared at Taotao, who couldn't help but tremble.

This is a natural blood suppression. Both the brother and sister are afraid of Tian Guihua, but not so afraid of Fang Ping.

"Several students in our class who lived in the city wrote letters of request, determined to go to the Great Northern Wilderness to join the production team. Then many others followed, and every day was like they had been injected with chicken blood. The teacher simply gave us a week off."

Facts have proved that the preliminary mobilization work for going to the countryside was very effective, and some pioneers had already packed their backpacks and set off.

Taotao's classmates and some other classes are actively following suit and are currently waiting for approval from their superiors.

Fang Tao was lucky, he didn't have to cut in line, at worst he could just go back to where he came from.

"If you don't have classes, help with more housework. Get up early tomorrow morning and go to the mountains to chop firewood for me."

Tian Guihua was also happy. If she came back, she would just come back. It would be nice to do some work or read some books at home when she has nothing to do.

"Got it. I'm going to look for Manman and come back for dinner later."

Fang Tao put down his things and went to Fang Wei.

Fang Weiyi's family and Wang Zhuyun were getting ready. When they saw Taotao coming, Pan Lianhua asked him to sit down and eat.

"I don't want to eat anymore. My family is cooking. If I don't go back to eat, there will be leftovers later."

Fang Tao didn't let Pan Lianhua help him serve the rice. He sat aside and talked to Fang Wei about the situation at school.

He will graduate from junior high school next year, but the current situation is not optimistic. He may not be able to go to high school.

"Let's talk about whether you go to high school or not. You have to study hard anyway. Don't be idle during winter break. I'll find you a teacher to help you with your homework. Do you understand?"

Fang Wei knew very well that in the following period, junior high school and high school students would flock to the countryside to receive re-education through labor.

Don’t think about attending classes after the exam. Most schools will be closed and you will have to rely on yourself to study.

Yang Fan was a high school teacher, very capable, so Fang Wei wanted him to help Taotao with his homework. But how should he explain this? If he didn't, it might seem like he was using his power to bully others.

"Got it! Manman, Auntie, Auntie Zhu, you guys continue eating, I'm going back."

Fang Tao got what he wanted from his uncle, and then returned home happily.

What he cares about is whether he can continue his studies, and he rarely gets involved in other things.

His classmates at school called him a nerd, which was actually a mockery of the fact that he was "oblivious to the world outside" and a backward guy.

After dinner, Fang Wei went to find Gao Qingshan.

There were some things he couldn't say directly to Yang Fan, so he wanted Gao Qingshan to test the other party's attitude.

Gao Qingshan was delighted when he heard this and said:
"What's wrong with personal matters? You think highly of him by letting him help with homework. You don't know that compared to doing farm work, Yang Fan would probably prefer teaching. He would be happy to help you."

"Okay, talk to him. If he's willing, come find me. If not, forget it."

Fang Wei now holds the lifeblood of these eight people in his hands. Can he understand this clearly?

The reason why he was so roundabout was to save face.

Fang Weiyi has always tried to avoid giving people the impression that he is using his power to bully others. After all, he is a provincial representative and cannot do things without caring about others' opinions.

Sure enough, when Yang Fan heard Gao Qingshan's words, he jumped up with joy: "The captain is very kind to us. I will take over the tutoring for his nephew."

He had always been worried, fearing that one day he would be asked to work in the fields again. As God knows, he was really afraid of doing farm work.

Now that the captain asked him for help, he felt relieved. At the same time, he secretly thought in his heart that he must improve Fang Tao's academic performance.

He understood that this was where his value lay.

the next day.

Yang Fan found a chance to go find Fang Wei, and the tutoring was settled.

Fang Wei finally went to Guo Yongqing's lover and asked him to help find a set of high school textbooks. Without saying anything, she gave him a set and refused to pay for it, so he had to take it back.

He gave the book to Fang Tao and then took him to see Yang Fan.

Taotao is a studious child, a natural born reader. Unfortunately, the college entrance exam has been abolished, and admission to universities now relies on a combination of recommendation and selection.

But no matter what, Taotao should fully learn and understand high school knowledge, and then see if there is any way to help him get a recommendation for a worker-peasant-soldier college student.

Time flies.

The winter solstice arrived in a blink of an eye.

The team slaughtered a pig today and gathered the female members to make dumplings.

[Pigs are produced, points +310, total points: 368568 points.]

The team had cooked communal meals many times, but this was the first time we had dumplings. Eating habits in the south and north were very different. In the north, people would make dumplings at the drop of a hat, while in the local area, dumplings were rarely eaten throughout the year.

Fang Wei personally arranged to make dumplings. It’s nice to change the taste occasionally.

At noon, all the men, women, young and old from the second team came to the door of the team headquarters, and soon, the steaming dumplings came out of the pot.

The dumplings are filled with pork and cabbage. They are sizzling and oily when you bite them, and are very satisfying to eat.

"Delicious! This is the first time I've eaten such delicious dumplings in all these years."

Fang Wei couldn't help but sigh, but this also proved that everything was moving in a good direction.

After eating the dumplings, the commune notified the team leaders and deputy team leaders of each production team to come to the commune for a meeting. Needless to say, this meeting was a mobilization meeting for the "Up to the Mountains and Down to the Countryside" movement.

The meeting demanded that all production teams must not refuse to accept educated youth and at the same time ensure their basic living needs. (End of this chapter)
