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

Chapter 32: Hope for a Good Harvest

Afterwards, Guan Chongyang and Fang Wei moved to many places, but their luck was not so good.

Either the underground water source cannot be found, or the underground water source is found but it is too deep to drill a well.

In one month, with the help of two people, six wells were drilled.

This number is not something to be proud of, because this number of wells cannot solve the fundamental problem for the entire commune.

Tang Ze did what he said and held a commendation meeting in the commune to commend technician Liao, Guan Chongyang and Fang Wei.

After the meeting, Tang Ze also had a special chat with Fang Wei.

Fang Wei is a well-educated man and has personally participated in the well digging work. I would like to hear some of his suggestions.

"I think digging wells is just a supplement. If we want to completely change the situation of 'nine droughts out of ten years', we need to vigorously develop water conservancy projects. Specifically, we need to build reservoirs and canals. We can't just rely on fate to provide us with water."

Fang Wei didn't hesitate and simply followed the successful experience in history.

Historically, after several years of natural disasters, a wave of building farmland water conservancy facilities has been set off across the country.

This plays a vital role in solving agricultural irrigation and disaster prevention and mitigation.

Others' words are light, and they say these things just out of their feelings.

Tang Ze actually listened to it. This year's severe drought had made the entire commune devastated, so Fang Wei's words resonated with him.

However, he did not express his opinion, just encouraged the other party a few words and ended the conversation.

After returning home, Fang Wei had a good sleep and then went to his elder brother's house for dinner.

"Sister-in-law, this is a pound of sugar as a reward from the commune. Please keep it."

The commune’s commendation is mainly spiritual encouragement, but there are also some material rewards.

For example, this pound of sugar is part of the reward, and there is also a flashlight and a straw hat.

He planned to keep the flashlight for himself and gave the straw hat directly to his eldest brother. He also bought some fried peanuts at the supply and marketing cooperative to satisfy the two little ones.

"Little brother, don't waste your money. They have food to eat."

Tian Guihua was very happy to take the sugar and quickly put it in the cabinet.

Fang Tao and Fang Tingting were so happy to have snacks that they wiped Fang Weiyi's snot all over his face.

After a month away, the rice in the experimental field is growing well and has entered the fruit-bearing period.

The sweet potatoes in the valley showed signs of high yield, and Fang Ping had been going there frequently to take care of them recently.

"Third brother, the experimental field is thanks to Hu Zi and the others. Although these young people were very naughty before, they are now sensible. They work hard and learn things quickly."

The eldest brother kept praising Zheng Hu and others. Without them, how would Fang Ping have the time to go to the mountains?
Also, before going out, Fang Wei handed over the traps he had set in the mountains to Zheng Hu to look after and maintain.

This month, the other party harvested 6 rabbits and 2 pheasants in the mountains and gave them all to Fang Ping.

The family didn't eat it either, so they asked their sister-in-law to make some cured meat and let Fang Wei deal with it himself.

[Harvest prey, points +53, total points 334 points]

[Stable output of water wells, steady flow of water, daily harvest points 20]

[One month's settlement, points +600 points, total points 934 points]

Fang Wei was naturally very happy to have earned so many points after being out for a month.

"Brother, can you give Hu Zi and the others two rabbits later?"

Zheng Hu and others helped him, so it was impossible for Fang Wei to not show any appreciation.

That's why he wanted to give them something. Eating alone is not a good habit, and you will have no friends.

"You ask me what to do? It's your stuff, you can do whatever you want with it."

Fang Ping rarely smiled, feeling that his third brother had grown up and become sensible.

night.

Fang Wei asked his sister-in-law to help cook, a big pot of shredded sweet potato rice, a big pot of cured rabbit meat stewed with taro, and then called Zheng Hu and others to come over for dinner.

It's hard to divide the two cured rabbits, so it's best for everyone to eat them together. "Brother Fang, if you need anything in the future, just call us. We'll be there whenever you need us."

Deng Yuanen, the shortest among them, is very thin, but he has a big appetite.

He was eating while "showing his loyalty", which made Zheng Hu kick him under the table.

"Okay, let's help each other in the future."

Fang Wei has lived two lives as a human being, so he must be more mature mentally than these friends.

So don't just ask for things blindly, and this way of getting along will last longer.

When they heard Fang Wei's words, they were very happy. After all, who doesn't like to be respected?
Everyone enjoyed the meal very much. Fang Wei told some interesting stories that happened during the well drilling process, and everyone listened with great interest.

the next day.

Fang Weiyi had already gone to the experimental field, and Hu Zi and others had already arrived.

Looking at the full ears of grain in front of him, a smile appeared on his face.

Next, this experimental field will need careful care until the day when we can enjoy the joy of a good harvest.

Zheng Hu and his friends also had smiles on their faces. This field was stained with their sweat, so they could naturally understand Fang Wei's mood at the moment.

Not far away, Wu Maosheng came staggering over. His original job was to look after the team's oxen, but since he took on the task of breeding improved breeds, he was basically no longer needed to herd and feed the cattle.

Although he still lived in the cowshed, his treatment had actually improved a lot.

"Third brother, you're finally back. The rice in the fields is growing well, and a good harvest is in sight, but there are still some things that need attention."

Wu Maosheng told Fang Wei, Zheng Hu and others the next things to pay attention to on the ridge of the field.

To be honest, he had no hope of cultivating good varieties before, but as the rice in the fields grew better and better, he began to gain confidence.

Lacking this and that is a big problem, but good luck is the key.

We are still a long way from success, but at least we can see the dawn of victory.

Zheng Hu and others listened very attentively. These young boys who used to only know how to make trouble had undergone a complete transformation without realizing it.

Isn't it said that the power of example is infinite? They admire Fang Wei and even a little worship him, so their daily behavior is inevitably imitated.

Over time, changes will occur naturally.

"Mr. Wu, we all remember this."

After Wu Maosheng finished speaking, Fang Wei glanced at Zheng Hu and others, then said something.

Wu Maosheng was still very confident in Fang Wei. He then looked around the field and turned away.

It's approaching noon.

Fang Wei went to the team headquarters and showed up in front of Zheng Xianfa.

"Xucai, you've worked so hard! Keep cultivating the seeds when you come back. I'll give you two more acres of land next year, and you must make sure they produce results."

Zheng Xianfa is a very practical person. He is willing to provide any support in the early stages, but he must see results in the end.

If there are no results, not to mention Wu Maosheng, even Fang Wei might not have a good life.

"Captain, don't worry. Can I fool you?"

Fang Wei made a promise immediately, but in fact he was not 100% sure.

It takes several years to cultivate seeds, and after generations of screening, they can be planted on a large scale.

There was still plenty of time, and his intuition told him that breeding had a high probability of success.

noon.

After dinner, Fang Wei went back to his room to rest.

He now has more than 900 points, and if he accumulates more, he can upgrade the [Planting Area] to another level.

But the problem was that he didn't have that much land to designate.
