After dinner, Zhang Zhifei watched his younger siblings finish their homework and previewed the new curriculum before allowing them to go to bed.
Zhang Zhifei knows that there is no harm in reading at any time.
Especially in this prosperous era when it is impossible to do business, studying may be the only opportunity to change your destiny.
Otherwise, my younger brothers and sisters may have to go to the countryside in the future.
When educated young people go to rural areas, especially girls, they are more likely to have problems.
In the next few days, Zhang Zhifei cooked for his brothers and sisters in the morning and evening, and spent the rest of the time farming in the system.
According to history, starting next year, that is, 1959, the next three years will be an extremely difficult period.
As a liberal arts student, he had studied this period of history in history textbooks and knew that the next three years would be the most difficult period.
Although I live in Yanjing, as the political center of the country, the situation is relatively better. But there are still many difficulties, and he must make good use of the three acres of fertile land and ten acres of pasture rewarded by the system.
He used his free time during the day to dig the ground with his fork. Even though his body was strengthened, it still took him a week to plow all three acres of farmland.
After that, he planned three acres of fertile land, one acre of rice, one acre of wheat, and the remaining acre to grow potatoes, sweet potatoes, vegetables and other miscellaneous grains and vegetables.
The three acres of fertile farmland in the system are highly fertile and have good weather, so in theory they can reach the peak of harvest.
Moreover, the three acres of fertile farmland rewarded by the system strictly follow the actual four seasons of the year, but it is not without its benefits.
In the system space, the climate of fertile fields and pastures is the same as that in the north, but the time flow rate is three times that of the outside. That is to say, three crops can be harvested a year here, which can basically ensure that the four brothers and sisters have enough to eat.
At present, the average yield of rice in one acre of fertile land is 200 kilograms, and the system can harvest almost 300 kilograms. The fertile land is harvested three times a year, and one acre of rice will be harvested 900 kilograms.
100 kilograms of rice are processed into about 62 kilograms of polished rice, and more than 30 kilograms of rice bran are produced. Then the system produces 558 kilograms of rice per year, which is 22 fifty-jin bags of rice. Even if people can eat it now, it should be enough for their brothers and sisters.
Wheat yield is low, but in such a good environment, the yield per mu can reach almost 100 kilograms, and 300 kilograms can be collected in a year.
There are several grades of flour produced from wheat, ranging from 60% to 90%. Based on the optimal flour calculation, 180 kilograms of flour can be produced, which is enough for their brother and sister.
The yields of potatoes, sweet potatoes, vegetables, etc. are high, so you don’t have to worry about not having enough to eat.
With this fertile land in hand, Zhang Zhifei's worries were relieved a lot.
Although three acres of fertile land is not much, Zhang Zhifei had only helped farm the land in his hometown before junior high school in his previous life, and his skills were limited, so the speed was very slow. He farmed such a small amount of land by himself for almost two weeks.
After planting all the grain, Zhang Zhifei had nothing to do, so he began to learn the basic rice technology of Zajia, which was rewarded by the system for signing in.
The technology awarded this time is the three-line hybrid rice technology that Mr. Yuan started to develop in 1964 and was successfully developed in 1973. Simply put, it is a hybrid rice with hybrid vigor produced by the combination of three types of rice with special abilities. .
The current rice yield is 250 kilograms in fertile land and about 200 kilograms in ordinary land. Three-line hybrid rice can increase the yield by 40%-60%.
However, Zhang Zhifei studied mechanics in technical secondary school and had no relevant learning experience. It would be harmful and useless to rashly bring out this technology, and he would not be convinced by others.
Only if he has a thorough understanding of the relevant technology, has read through the relevant books, and has experimental data, then it will not appear abrupt when presented.
However, although three-line hybrid rice is a technology that Yuan Lao studied in his early days, it still seems very profound to Zhang Zhifei.
Fortunately, the system explained it very clearly. He only needed to understand it and did not need to study it in depth. Otherwise, he might not be able to get the test paper filled with answers as fast as Mr. Yuan on a piece of white paper.
Looking at the complex technology, Zhang Zhifei admired Grandpa Yuan for no reason. He was really amazing. He could develop hybrid rice technology from scratch and save countless people. He is a contemporary Bodhisattva.
Zhang Zhifei had no choice but to go to the library of Yanjing Agricultural University every day to borrow books on agriculture, biogenetics, etc. to expand his knowledge system.
I don't know if it was due to time travel, but Zhang Zhifei's thinking has become more agile and his memory has also improved a lot, which has greatly helped his learning.
Comparing the research results, Zhang Zhifei filled in his own knowledge gaps and hoped to deduce the results as soon as possible.
During this period, Zhang Zhifei went to the textile factory and received a pension. From now on, he will receive a preferential pension once a month. He has been leading the younger sister and the others since they are adults. The textile factory also admitted that his family's job can be taken over when the younger sister and the others become adults. formalities.
Everyone in the courtyard saw that Zhang Zhifei did not come to take over the shift at the steel rolling mill, but he left early and came back late. Some people began to make malicious speculations.
Some people think that he did not go to take over, thinking that something happened. Many people do not say anything on the surface, but are happy in their hearts. Some people think that he is fooling around outside and ruining the atmosphere of the courtyard, and they want him to move out of the courtyard. .
Among them, Jia Zhang is the most active. He has been coveting Zhang Zhifei's three houses for a long time. Now that she has this opportunity, she is jumping up and down.
"Lao Yi, you are the eldest brother. It is best for you to come forward. Who knows what shameful things the boy named Zhang has done." Jia Zhang encouraged Yi Zhonghai to call a hospital-wide meeting and drive away the four Zhang Zhifei brothers and sisters. This way he can occupy his family's house.
Yi Zhonghai expected Jia Dongxu to provide for him in his old age, and he did not dare to offend Jia Zhang, so he was quite moved by her proposal. His most important purpose now was to make Jia Dongxu grateful to him and lay the foundation for his future pension.
"Sister-in-law, what you said makes sense. I will discuss it with the second uncle and the third uncle." Yi Zhonghai said.
Jia Zhang urged: "Lao Yi, why don't you go quickly? Remember, the house should be reserved for my family. I have a lot of family members."
"I can't forget it." Yi Zhonghai said, walking towards the backyard.
Yi Zhonghai had always looked down upon Yan Bugui, thinking that for some small profits, he had insulted the dignity of the man in charge of the hospital, was picky and fussy, and was not like a man.
As long as he and the second uncle Liu Haizhong have discussed it properly, Yan Bugui must agree.
Of course, he also looked down upon the second uncle Liu Haizhong. He only respected the two of them in order to maintain their character.
In the backyard, Liu Haizhong sat on a chair with his eyes closed, imagining that he was a leader and feeling the pleasure of being a leader.
"Where is the second uncle?" Yi Zhonghai asked.
"Well, what's wrong, sir?" Liu Haizhong opened his eyes and looked at Yi Zhonghai said.
Yi Zhonghai said: "The boy from the Zhang family in the front yard, Lao Zhang has been away for more than 20 days and still hasn't taken over. He wandered out one day. I think there is something wrong with his thinking. It has insulted the reputation of our civilized courtyard house and delayed our progress. "
When Liu Haizhong heard that progress was being delayed, he couldn't sit still. He immediately asked Yi Zhonghai: "Master, what are your ideas?"
This is the result that Yi Zhonghai wants. As long as it is about his progress as an official, Liu Haizhong will be easily manipulated by him.
"Second uncle, I wonder if we should hold a hospital-wide meeting to drive away the person named Zhang." Yi Zhonghai suggested.
When Liu Haizhong heard Yi Zhonghai's words, he couldn't believe it and asked: "What did you say? Drive them away?"
"Well. Second uncle, I am not the bad guy, it's the boy named Zhang who has really affected our civilized courtyard house and everyone's progress." Yi Zhonghai continued to cheat.
Although Liu Haizhong is an official fan, he is not a brainless person, otherwise he would not be able to become a seventh-level blacksmith.
He knew that Zhang Zhifei's father, Zhang Kangzhan, had sacrificed his life for the steel rolling mill. If Zhang Zhifei didn't take over during this period, he might have some better opportunities.
He had heard from his wife that every time this child came back, he would bring some books. He might continue to go to school. He would become a cadre after graduating from a technical secondary school. He would never give up the opportunity. In his mind, Zhang Zhifei also I should not give up this opportunity to become a cadre.
Liu Haizhong looked at Yi Zhonghai with something wrong. Something was wrong with this old boy. What was he planning in his mind?
Immediately he said: "Lao Yi, have you asked the third uncle about this?"
Yi Zhonghai asked with some surprise: "Not yet, we will inform the third uncle after we have discussed it."
"This won't work. The street office originally asked the three of us to discuss it. It's better to discuss it with the third uncle first." Liu Haizhong insisted.
Yi Zhonghai looked at Liu Haizhong in surprise, when did he become smarter.
Liu Haizhong looked at the uncertain Yi Zhonghai and did not continue. The boy from the Zhang family might become a cadre. Whether his younger brothers and sisters were good at studying and often went home to get awards, who knew that child would become a high official in the future? Well, I won't offend them for nothing.
That is to say, Yi Zhonghai has no children and does not pay attention to the learning status of the Zhang family's children. He, Liu Haizhong, beat his two ineffective sons for this reason.
After Yi Zhonghai failed to get consent from Liu Haizhong, he did not go to Yan Bugui. He planned to start rumors and form public opinion, and then organized a general meeting of the hospital. By that time, Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui would no longer be able to do anything.
Zhang Zhifei didn't know that his family was almost criticized by the whole hospital. As expected, the courtyard was filled with people who were always thinking of plotting against others, which was not at all in line with the main theme of mutual help in this era.
