The Pretty Military Wife

Chapter 476 Daoliang Village Starts Construction with Good Luck

While they were cooking, they chatted about their lives. Liang Xinyue naturally asked about the situation in the valley.

The crops grown in the valley are actually still being planted according to the plan Liang Xinyue originally made for them, except that this time, no rice is planted in the fields at the bottom.

They plan to plant rice again in the spring next year.

Now, there is a construction team working in the place where loaches were originally caught. They came in from the other side of the valley. Their construction is more important because it ensures that the water in the underground river can be pumped up smoothly.

Therefore, that half of the corner cannot be used to plant anything for the time being. Usually, only a few sisters-in-law plant in the fields. When it comes to large-scale sowing or harvesting, one or two shifts from the group will be dispatched to help. Basically, the land has been reclaimed and only routine maintenance is required.

Liang Xinyue looked at the sky and saw that it was almost five o'clock, so she did not mention going to the fields to take a look. She just said:

"I'll remove the seedling shed later, and you can grow more vegetables."

Sister Yang immediately replied:

"Why evacuate? No need to evacuate. We can help you take care of it. The saplings inside are growing well."

Liang Xinyue nodded and said:

"Forget about it today. I need to chat with you guys. I'll come back to prune some branches when I'm free in a few days."

In the seedling shed here, Liang Xinyue still has seedlings of several trees left, which can survive in relatively water-deficient conditions, such as the Elaeagnus angustifolia.

When Liang Xinyue and the others were talking excitedly, Political Commissar Xu and others came back to the family compound. Except for those who stayed behind to be on duty, everyone else had returned.

Liang Xinyue greeted everyone one by one, and everyone was concerned about her health first. Gu Sanding looked around and started looking for his two godsons:

"Sister-in-law, where are those two brats?"

"I don't know. When I got here, I just went to play with my brothers and sisters. I don't even know where they are."

Liang Xinyue really didn't know, but she knew that the yard was still very safe. With Dongdong and Lanlan watching over her, she felt more at ease.

Gu Sanding said hello and went out. After a while, he came back with one child in each hand.

The two boys called Gu Daddy one after another, which made Gu Sanding very happy.

Now he can talk and run around. When he sees his son next year, he wonders whether his son will be able to call people.

The two boys came over, and Liang Xinyue taught them how to call people one by one:

"This is Uncle Xu."

"Hello, Uncle Xu."

"This is Uncle Liu."

"Hello, Uncle Liu."

"..."

Sister Li smiled and said:

"You taught the child very well."

Liang Xinyue said:

"Our children were really well taught and taken care of by Aunt Li. They always listened to Grandma Li most of the time."

Political Commissar Xu also nodded and said to Sister Li:

"You don't know, Xinyue was injured and stayed in the hospital for more than 20 days. Except for the Liang family, the whole family relied on Aunt Li to support them."

The meal was ready. Captain Long pulled out a lamp with a string and propped it up with a stick, making the yard brighter.

Everyone sat down to eat. Since Liang Xinyue was able to eat by herself now, but could not raise her arms to pick up food from far away, Sister Li, who was sitting next to her, took care of Xiao Jiajia on her left while helping Liang Xinyue, who was sitting on her right, to pick up food.

Aunt Li and Xiaoxue each brought a child to eat, but the two little ones were very well behaved at home when they ate in the baby chair, but they were messy when they ate by themselves here, wanting to grab this and then that.

Liang Xinyue scolded them twice but they didn't stop. They were having so much fun today that they completely forgot about the need to obey some rules.

Gu Sanding stood up, hugged Zhou Zhiyuan again, and held him in his arms:

"Come, eat with Dad Gu."

Zhou Mingzhi just quit:

"I want Daddy Gu to hold me while I eat."

Xiao Wei hurried forward and hugged him:

"Come, Uncle Wei will hold you. Let's sit next to Father Gu and eat together. But you must be obedient. If you don't, I won't take you with me next time when I drive the big car."

Now the two of them really calmed down and finally behaved a little better.

After dinner, Aunt Li wanted to help clean up, but was stopped by Sister Yang and others:

"Aunt Li, don't do anything. Just look after the child. We can do it. There aren't many bowls here."

Liang Xinyue also found an opportunity to find Gu Sanding and gave him a misplaced photo of their family of four and a family portrait:

"Can you give it to him? Tell him that we are all fine. I guess he can't tell which is Zhiyuan and which is Mingzhi now."

In a blink of an eye, it has been more than five months since Zhou Guoliang passed away.

Gu Sanding put the photos away:

"I'll find a way, don't worry, sister."

After they packed up, it was already dark and they had to drive home, so they got in the car and prepared to go back.

Seeing Liang Xinyue climb into the truck bed and sit down, Gu Sanding said hurriedly:

"Wait a moment, I'll go get the painting and take you there. It's cold at night and you're still injured, so you can't sit in the truck bed."

Political Commissar Xu also asked Gu Sanding to see someone off. Then Sister Li happily got on the driveway:

"I'll also go see where Xinyue's house is now. When I go to the county one day, I'll go look for Xinyue's family."

Anyway, Gu Sanding would be driving back soon, so Political Commissar Xu didn't say anything.

They drove all the way back to the county town. It was almost nine o'clock and all three kids were asleep in the car. When they got out of the car, they were carried into the room one by one.

Liang's father and his men were still doing carpentry. Gu Sanding asked about the current carpentry business. When Liang Xinyue said it was okay and that she was planning to hire two more people to help, Gu Sanding was surprised:

"Oh, that's not bad. This way, Dad Liang doesn't have to go out to work and can do it at home."

Liang Xinyue nodded and said:

"That's my plan. I also plan to open a shop in the provincial capital."

Unexpectedly, when Gu Sanding heard Liang Xinyue say this, he whispered:

"Sister-in-law, you can't open it. You are a public official now. It's not good to open a store to do business."

Liang Xinyue smiled and said:

"Yes, I know. I'm not opening it in my name, I'm opening it in my father's name. I'll keep it as long as I can. I won't force it."

Sister Li came in and toured the house and said:

"Very nice, very nice. In the capital, a courtyard house is only this big. Some are even smaller than this. Your house is quite nice."

Liang Xinyue said:

"If I had money, I would go to Beijing and buy a courtyard house, and live there whenever I have the chance."

Sister Li smiled and said:

"What's so difficult about this? Last time I heard that a colleague in our unit is moving to a new building and doesn't want to keep the old yard anymore. Do you want one? I've been there and it's about the same size as yours. The people living in that alley are all famous people."

When Liang Xinyue heard this, she thought about the money in her hand:

"Then please ask for me first, I'll see if I can afford it."

Compared to being able to buy a courtyard house in Beijing, it is better than buying a house in this provincial capital.

If I can really buy it, I would spend all my money on it.

After asking about the location, Liang Xinyue knew that the land price would be very valuable in the future. She was even more excited and asked Sister Li to remember to ask for her. If it was okay, she would buy it first.

Sister Li also said that she would ask when she got back and was planning to use the group’s phone to ask.

The next day, Liang Xinyue took people to Daoliang Village again. Today they were going to start planting in Daoliang Village and build a shed.

Yesterday, someone brought a letter to Captain Liu of Xinshui Village, asking them to transfer four experienced shed-building workers over to help.

The most important thing is that I can’t do it now.

When Liang Xinyue and the others arrived, under the command of Ding Shiqing, they moved the scaffolding to the corresponding areas.

Then we divided the group into groups and appointed the person in charge of each group.

Six people worked in a group to build the tent, and four people worked in a group to sow the seeds.

Liang Xinyue came to help watch, and Ding Shiqing, Hu Yanhong and Lu Tianxing handled everything. Liang Xinyue only reminded them of anything they hadn't thought of.

Liang Xinyue also felt that they had thought too carefully about the process of causing the incident.

The scaffolding team was divided into four groups, led by Xiao Wei, Ding Shiqing, Hu Yanhong and Lu Tianxing.

Each group was staffed with four experienced workers invited from Xinshui Village, three college students and a young man from the village.

The sowing group was a little simpler, so several village cadres were appointed as group leaders, and a total of four groups were set up. They could plant the seeds first.

In this way, several groups worked at the same time. Liang Xinyue only took Liu Yang and the remaining college students to the sowing group and began to tell them how to plant.

The vegetables to be planted this time include radishes, greens, cabbages, as well as green beans and cowpeas that grow very well and have high yields in the greenhouse.

Except for radishes which need to be sown seeds, all others are transplanted.

But Liang Xinyue's transplanting method is different from the old method they used before.

Liang Xinyue reluctantly took a hoe and dug a hole, then explained the depth that needed to be paid attention to and how to apply fertilizer.

Then it systematically explains how to place the seedlings and how to press the soil.

The people in this village now understand that they must be obedient and do what they are told.

Liang Xinyue watched Liu Yang and several other college students plant a few plants and confirmed that their operation was correct. Then she went to see the team building the shed.

Several groups started working at the same time. In addition to setting up the shed, some were sowing seeds, some were applying fertilizers, and some were carrying manure.

For a while, the whole Daoliang Village was unprecedentedly lively. Even the children came out to help. They helped to clear the weeds along the edges of the fields and went to cut some dead grass halfway up the mountain, saying that they would use it to chop and make fertilizer.

Suddenly, it seemed that the decadent atmosphere in the entire Daoliang Village disappeared, and everyone became busy.

Liang Xinyue thought this was a good idea.

When people work together, they seem to make progress faster.

The four shed-building groups were competing with each other, and the older people or women in the sowing group were not to be outdone and also secretly fought together.

Liang Xinyue would naturally just look over here, then shout over there, giving orders everywhere.

After a while, Captain Liu came over unexpectedly:

"Comrade Liang, I'll help you watch over the sowing. Don't worry, I know how to do this."

Liang Xinyue really thanked him and said:

"Thank you very much. Is Captain Liu okay now?"

Captain Liu laughed and said:

“You don’t know, the drainage ditch in our village is well dug, and we are halfway through building the canal that will lead to the village.”

"I thought, I can't finish it so quickly. If I finish it all, it will be too outstanding. So I asked everyone to start today and work slowly, otherwise other villages will compare us and say we are working too fast."

Captain Liu said, looking at everyone,

"If you still feel a little free, go help Daoliang Village. They are doing the same thing as us, growing vegetables and using greenhouses. Today is the day they are building the greenhouses."

So, when Captain Liu arrived, he brought a dozen people with him.

These are people with strong labor force. Once they came on stage, all the groups sped up their progress.

This also touched the people of Daoliang Village.

Old Liu looked at Captain Liu and smiled with his white teeth:

"Thank you so much for bringing these people to help. Not only are we all new here, but the majority of our workforce is college students, who have all gone to the battle.

Captain Liu sighed first. The population of this village is small, and there are even fewer young and middle-aged people. They have gone to the big battle, so naturally there is a lack of labor force at home.

And I think they are lucky:

"Brother, I'm telling you, don't worry about anything else, just follow Comrade Liang and learn from him. We'll do whatever he tells us to do. We were all shocked when we divided the money in the end. At the end of this month, we'll divide the money again. I can tell you, almost everyone will get 400 to 500 yuan."

"I'm really jealous!"

What Old Liu said was also true, he was really jealous.

"But don't worry, we will be fine next year. If we plant them this year, these vegetables will be our food for the winter."

After finishing the work in the morning, the lunch for Xinshui Village was taken care of by the college student group.

But Captain Liu went back early because he had to deal with some matters in Xinshui Village.

Even though the progress has to be delayed a bit, he still cannot be the last one. This is Captain Liu's narrow-mindedness.

He was afraid of pulling his men out for support.

However, he came back and brought people to help with planting and building sheds in Daoliang Village.

After a busy day, of course, not all the crops were planted. However, Liang Xinyue was still very praised for the progress of the first day.

The soldiers who were repairing the canal on the mountain were all shocked when they saw the shed erected in the field:

"What is that for?"

Some soldiers who had seen the tents built by Liang Xinyue in the valley knew about it, but some had not. But even those who had seen them in the valley were still surprised when they saw so many tents so neatly arranged for the first time.

They knew what the situation was like here, and they understood how much could be grown in the land, but they still found this new way of growing crops novel.

Liang Xinyue said that the progress was still good. She had to go to Shibalipo Village tomorrow, so she would not come here then. She would let Ding Shiqing take care of it first.
