The snow fell heavier and heavier. Li Huan stood in the wheat field covered with three layers of plastic film, looking at the thriving wheat in surprise, feeling extremely excited.
Cheng Qiao said that these are wheat seedlings watered by spiritual springs. If they can't even withstand a temperature of minus ten degrees Celsius, can they still be considered spiritual water
He also took out a few bottles of well water emitting a hint of golden light and handed them to Li Huan, asking him to dilute it ten thousand times and use it to irrigate the wheat fields.
Li Huan did this secretly, and sure enough, the land irrigated with the spiritual water began to slowly turn darker, and it was obvious that it had become fertile land.
The day came when Li Huan went to the commune to collect his salary. This time he came back with the secretary of the commune. When the secretary saw the half-ripe wheat in the wheat field, he was undoubtedly delighted.
If the winter wheat is harvested successfully, not only will Li Huan be valued by his superiors, but he, whose position has remained unchanged for many years, may also be able to loosen up.
Following Li Huan home, the commune secretary couldn't help but envy Li Huan when he saw Cheng Qiao's slightly protruding belly.
This little ruffian has achieved success in both career and family, which is a great blessing. He looked at Cheng Qiao's belly and jokingly asked if he could be a godfather in the future.
In terms of age, being a godfather is a bit old, but being a godgrandfather is a bit young, so after weighing the pros and cons, being a godfather is more appropriate as it allows for closer ties.
Cheng Qiao hesitated. If the baby was a boy, he would definitely be adopted by his master. If it was a girl, she would definitely be given the surname Li.
As soon as the secretary saw Cheng Qiao's embarrassed expression, he knew that his proposal was too abrupt, and quickly said that he was joking. In this way, Cheng Qiao felt much more relaxed.
A few months later, it was finally time to harvest winter wheat. On this day, Li Huan held a loudspeaker and shouted inspiring slogans, encouraging the villagers to start harvesting.
In fact, Li Huan didn't need to encourage them. Everyone had a fire in their hearts, a fire of excitement that made them see the granaries full of grain and the world at peace.
Just when the villagers were working hard to harvest winter wheat, the commune secretary arrived with the county party committee leaders and some reporters. The reporters didn't believe their eyes until they developed one photo after another. Only then did they feel like they had a dream.
The county party committee leaders were even more surprised. The original wheat yield per mu was only more than 200 kilograms, but this time it was more than 300 kilograms per mu, and the quality of the wheat was even better.
"Please invite Li Huan over. We need their batch of wheat seeds to plant in other places for trial. If you can also get such a high yield, I will give you credit for your contribution."
The commune secretary was in a difficult situation. Last year, Xiangyang Village had no harvest due to floods. The villagers of Xiangyang Village relied on the coarse grains brought by Li Huan to survive the cold winter.
Now that a bumper harvest of grain is right in front of them, they are asked to hand it over to be distributed to other villages for experiments, which will probably cause resentment among the villagers.
The county party committee leader nodded after hearing this. It would definitely be a stupid move to kill the goose that lays the golden eggs. So, let's hand over a part of it for a small-scale experiment. As for how much this part is, you can calculate and weigh it yourself.
The commune secretary dejectedly invited Li Huan to his office, and hesitantly expressed the above intentions. Seeing that Li Huan's expression changed a little, he quickly took out the banner that he had prepared long ago.
"Your Xiangyang Village is a well-deserved advanced collective village. This time, not only will you receive generous bonuses, but you will also receive two places at the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University. Of course, you still have to give us some wheat seeds."
Li Huan rolled his eyes. If Cheng Qiao hadn't told her that she could grow this kind of wheat anytime and anywhere, he would have ignored these guys. At worst, he would just give up being the village chief.
Cheng Qiao also said that although the land in Xiangyang Village has been diluted after being irrigated by the spiritual spring over the past few months, it is still possible to achieve this quality and yield per mu using ordinary wheat seeds.
"Okay, I'll give you three acres of wheat seeds. No more than that. The villagers in our village are still waiting for their share of food."
The commune secretary was a little disappointed, as there were only three acres of wheat seeds. But seeing that Li Huan was about to give up if they couldn't come to an agreement, he shut up obediently.
If it were the former Chen Weidang, he would definitely not give out an acre of wheat. But he had dozens of reasons to refute himself. Fortunately, the current village chief is Li Huan.
Li Huan struck the gong again, and every villager sat on a bench in the threshing yard with joy. They knew that after dividing this season's wheat, they would start sowing spring crops.
"There is good news and there is bad news. Which one do you want to hear?"
Everyone looked at each other, and finally decided to hear the good news. Li smiled and took out two pink envelopes. Everyone knew at a glance that they were the indicators for the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University.
The whole village was in an uproar. Who should the two worker-peasant-soldier quotas be given to? It was impossible for Chen Weidang's family, as their Da Mao was already a student at the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University.
Then Aunt Wang’s son Wang Xiangyang must have a share. As for who should the remaining share be given to? The villagers who were originally united began to be wary of each other and were unwilling to give it to anyone.
"I will have the final say this time. I will give one quota to Wang Xiangyang and one to myself for the two Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University."
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole place fell silent. They had thought about everything, but they had never imagined that Li Huan himself would go to the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University. But when they thought about it, it made sense. How could they give up such a good opportunity
Cheng Qiao was angry. This year is already 1975, and the college entrance examination will be resumed at the end of next year. Yet you went to the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University. But with so many people present, she couldn't get angry.
Li Huan looked at Cheng Qiao apologetically and said, "I'm sorry, wife, I really can't pass the exam. I don't even know what ABCD is. How can there be odd and even functions?" He felt dizzy when he heard this.
Then go to the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University. After all, you will be a college student when you come back. With some professional titles, you will be able to keep up with your wife.
"Huanzi, if you go to school, what will happen to Xiangyang Village?"
"Xiangyang Village has Uncle Weidang, and Uncle Duocai and Uncle Yuejin can also help."
Chen Yuejin is a good hunter, Wang Duocai is smart, and Chen Wei is fair to the party. This trio can perfectly allow him to let go of his burden and move forward with ease.
As soon as Cheng Qiao heard it, she knew that this was something Li Huan had planned in advance. Such a considerate man was actually plotting against her. Cheng Qiao was so angry that her eyes turned red, her stomach ached, and her face turned pale.
Li Huan felt guilty and was always worried that Cheng Qiao was unhappy. He didn't expect that Cheng Qiao would be so angry that she would give birth prematurely, and the baby went into labor in the threshing ground.
Mother Li glared at Li Huan and picked up a firewood stick to hit him. Aunt Wang stopped her, saying that now was not the time to hit him and it seemed that it was too late to send him to the hospital.
Several women hurriedly found a door panel and carried Cheng Qiao home. Seeing that Li's mother was in a daze, Aunt Wang rushed into the kitchen to boil water. She also asked Li Le to go to the midwife's house in the village and ask her to come quickly to help Cheng Qiao deliver the baby.
Ye Jun was also very anxious. He did not expect Cheng Qiao to give birth prematurely. The child was born a full month early. He didn't know if Cheng Qiao could survive this.
