This girl's name is Xu Lizhen and she is seventeen years old.
Qian Shulan was completely stunned when she heard this age. She was eleven years younger than Wang Shouzhi.
When Qian Shulan first saw this girl, her face was painted black, Qian Shulan thought she was at least in her twenties. But who would have thought she was so young, not even an adult.
She sighed, "Forget about the date for now. I'll introduce you to the chicken farm first."
Xu Lizhen nodded.
She was so calm, obviously she didn't like Wang Shouzhi. Qian Shulan didn't know whether she should be happy or sad.
Qian Shulan took her directly to the canal and asked Li Chunhua to teach her how to raise chickens. They would soon hatch chicks, so she had to learn how to do it quickly.
After seeing everyone off, Qian Shulan went to the cafeteria for a meeting.
On her way back, she specifically asked Xu Lizhen. Most of their province was not suffering from drought, but because the production team cadres wanted to take credit from their superiors, they were forced to hand over all the grain.
They had no food. Before winter came, they had already eaten all the wild vegetables and tree bark. They had no choice but to become refugees.
Those damn production team cadres were beaten to death by their most radical group.
The production team had a large population, and they were together at first, but later some of them fell ill, some were physically weak, and died one after another. The number of people became smaller and smaller.
Later, several production teams met each other along the way and got together.
According to Xu Lizhen, there are still many refugees, and they are all pouring into Linyang Province.
The public security here has been seriously threatened. The manpower of their production team is not enough to support it. After all, they are popular.
"I think they should work in exchange for sweet potatoes to dig canals and ditches for our production team."
Everyone was stunned. Where did they get the food to hire people
It is unknown when this drought will end. How can we save others if we cannot even get enough to eat
Qian Shulan had thought it over carefully. "If there is still drought next year, then we need to dig canals even more. Long droughts lead to floods. This is a valuable experience God has left for us ordinary people. If there is no drought next year, then we don't have to worry about having no food to eat."
Some people objected, "But if there is a drought next year and we give them all our food, how are we going to get through this difficult time?"
Wang Shouquan answered for Qian Shulan, "The autumn trade fair will be in the second half of the year, and we can trade pigs for grain then."
"I finally made some money and I haven't even received it yet, and I have to spend it again."
Everyone was arguing fiercely, and everyone had their own reasons, and they all sounded very reasonable.
Wang Shouquan was troubled and finally came up with a compromise. "We have to dig canals every year. This is a task assigned by the higher-ups. If you don't want to dig canals yourself, you can pay for it with grain."
Everyone looked at each other, obviously hesitant. Digging a canal is hard work.
It is still very cost-effective if you can hire someone to dig for just a little food.
“How many kilograms of sweet potatoes do you produce in a day?”
"Two pounds will do!"
Everyone started discussing it. Some people thought it was cost-effective and wanted to hire someone to do the work for them, while others thought it was too expensive and said they would do it themselves.
Wang Shouquan and Qian Minghua did not force anyone. They registered them according to their personal choices.
Soon, many strong laborers from the group of refugees that Qian Shulan had met before came to work.
Qian Shulan was in charge of cooking porridge for them, and she set up two large iron pots beside the canal. She cut the sweet potatoes into smaller pieces so that the porridge would be thicker.
Qian Shulan was worried that these people would not be able to bear it, so she added some corn flour and water from the fairyland.
Because these people had hope, they did not go down the path of no return.
The problem of the refugees was solved, and Qian Shulan thought of Cao Chuanzheng's matter.
Cao Chuanzheng will officially enter the Provincial Academy of Agricultural Sciences in May.
If Xiaomei wants to date him, they must be in a long-distance relationship.
Xiaomei was stunned for a long time after hearing what her grandmother said. She obviously didn't expect Cao Chuanzheng to have any idea about her. She seemed to have scolded him before, right
Qian Shulan also knew that relationships require training, and it was impossible to make a decision so quickly, so she suggested to her, "Think about this carefully. If you really can't make a decision, you can ask the boy out to meet him before making a decision."
Xiaomei thought for a moment and said, "Grandma, I agree to date him."
Qian Shulan felt that she couldn't understand it. Cao Chuanzheng was a bit of a nerd, while Xiaomei was smart, hardworking and sensible.
She never thought that Xiaomei would like such a person, "Can I know why?"
Xiaomei lowered her head and pinched her fingers, "He is a scholar, he will definitely not drink and beat people."
Qian Shulan was absolutely stunned by these words.
Suddenly she thought of the night when Wang Shouyi was drunk and crazy. Xiaomei had tears in her eyes and let Wang Shouyi beat her with a stubborn look on her face.
The child must be scared, right? Ever since Wang Danna and Xiaomei got jobs in the county, matchmakers have been visiting their house. Wang Danna has dated several men, but Xiaomei refused as soon as she heard the other party's conditions. It turns out that she hates men who are too strong in force.
In this case, Cao Chuanzheng is really suitable. Although the kid is a little silly, he is a stubborn person and is very obedient. If you ask him to beat the dog, he won't chase the chicken. If you ask him not to drink, he will definitely not touch it. It is safe and reliable, and he can make money. He doesn't have so many tricks.
Qian Shulan patted her on the back and soothed her softly, "If someone bullies you, you must tell grandma. If grandma is not around, don't endure it. Learn to resist and find the police! Your own happiness is the most important thing! Nothing else matters."
Xiaomei nodded.
Soon, the two officially started dating.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye it’s already the 18th.
Qian Shulan took the envelope given to her by Hong Shunyou and asked Zhengkang to report to the supply and marketing cooperative. Zhengkang was so happy that he was dumbfounded.
Qian Shulan warned, "Just because I gave you this job doesn't mean it's yours. If you dare to mess around, I won't forgive you!"
Zhengkang nodded repeatedly, smiling from ear to ear, "Grandma, I'll listen to you."
Qian Shulan thought for a moment and said, "This work is very important. You must do it well and try to be consistent with the people in front of you."
So he repeated the skills that Hong Shunyou learned when he was in charge of reception.
Zheng Kang was stunned. For this job, he gritted his teeth and said, "Grandma, I will definitely work hard."
After Zhengkang went to work, Qian Shulan soon discovered that there were fewer young girls at home.
Time quickly came to April, and Qian Shulan did not go to the Spring Fair this time.
The main reason was that their production team did not participate. The main reason was that the drought caused most of the willow trees in several nearby production teams to die.
They might as well save this for the fall event.
However, since they didn't go, Qian Shulan made a special trip to Guangdong.
She rowed her own boat and sent her two children to Hong Kong.
Because a boat parked near the shore would be noticed, Qian Shulan did not personally send them ashore, but handed the gold bars to them directly on the boat, and repeatedly reminded them to be careful to hide their belongings and never do anything illegal.
Both children agreed.
After getting ashore, Qian Shulan rowed the boat back.
From then on, the two children started working hard in Hong Kong. Here, they were no longer children of the five black categories, and they no longer needed to live in fear.
But whether this is their paradise or not, only time can tell.
When Qian Shulan returned home, something big happened.
On television, on the radio, and at conferences, everyone was clearly told that the higher authorities would soon send back the grain, and everyone was asked to cooperate in sending the refugees back to their places of origin.
Refugees who fail to return on time will be labeled as the five black categories.
So all those who had been digging canals in the Wangjia Village Production Team went back.
Before leaving, Qian Minghua gave them some food.
By July, relations between China and the Soviet Union had deteriorated, and the Soviet Union unilaterally tore up the contract and demanded that China repay the debt immediately.
As a result, the original news about the return of grain was once again completely wiped out because of this incident.
Then Qian Shulan heard rumors that the Soviet Union had certain standards for the apples they needed to provide.
There is an iron ring about ten centimeters in diameter, and the apple must pass through the middle. It cannot be bigger or smaller than this.
Later, the same thing happened to eggs.
This news made everyone very angry.
However, this month, there was also a happy event in the Wang family. Xiao He was admitted to the town’s junior high school.
Qian Shulan was very happy and rewarded her with ten yuan, telling her to study hard.
In November, Zhang Zhaodi gave birth to a son in the hospital, and both mother and child were safe. Qian Weihan was so happy that his face was full of smiles. He was happy to everyone he met, like a complete fool.
After the Autumn Fair, Qian Shulan brought back a large amount of grain, helping several nearby production teams survive the disaster.
This year, the Wang family received more than 2,000 yuan.
During the meeting, Wang Shouquan was very dissatisfied, "Aunt San, why don't we sell pork anymore?"
Qian Shulan sighed, "The data they tested this year is a bit low. I'm worried that our pig data will not meet the standard next year. Then we will definitely have to pay double the deposit. Let's just forget it."
Wang Shouquan was puzzled. "We are keeping them well, how come the value is low?"
Qian Weihan said, "Where can we get pig grass in this dry weather? Those nutrients need fresh pig grass. We don't have any."
Wang Shouquan thought so too. They had only eaten grain this year.
Although it's a pity, this is the only way it can be done.
After all, it is not an easy task to transport water and pig feed for nearly a hundred miles every day.
So Wangjia Village began to raise chickens desperately.
To this end, Wangjia Village's chicken farm was expanded by two times. Qian Shulan fed the chickens pills at the beginning, but she didn't care about them at other times. Someone was in charge of their eating and drinking.
So not only did the supply and marketing cooperatives come to order eggs from them, but people from the county and department stores in the provincial capital also came.
Eggs in the summer cannot be kept for too long, otherwise the yolks will fall apart.
So Qian Shulan always tried her best to deliver the eggs to the department store as early as possible.
In the blink of an eye, it was the spring of 1961.
This time, Lao Wang's family welcomed a long-lost guest.
Wang Danna seemed a little unrecognizable.
"Why are you here?"
Hong Soon-woo wore a black woolen coat and a cashmere scarf, which, combined with his handsome facial features, made him look particularly handsome.
Wang Danna still hasn't found a partner that suits her over the past year, and Qian Shulan doesn't force her, letting her pick and choose.
"I have something to ask you, aunt." He made way and introduced her, "This is my grandfather Fang Zhongjun."
An old man in his sixties or seventies was pushed into the Wang family’s gate in a wheelchair.
All the children in the yard stopped to look at them.
Wang Danna was a little overwhelmed. She said to Xiaomei, "Go to the chicken farm first and call my mother back."
After Xiaomei went to call for help, she invited the two of them into the house.
Hong Shunyou put the things he brought on the big table in the main room.
Two packs of Daqianjin cigarettes, two bottles of Moutai liquor, two cans of malted milk, and a bag of White Rabbit milk candy.
Wang Danna was stunned. Isn't this the standard equipment for marriage proposals here? What does he mean by this
