Returning Home on the 216th Day (6)
Fu Buer not only became a pioneer in new agriculture, but also inadvertently served as a pioneer in rural finance. The amount of this loan exceeded the total amount of all other loans in Meiyang Village. Since the loan amount was unprecedentedly large and exceeded the limit provided by Delong Bank, the director of the Credit Department, Wu Di, personally came to Meiyang Village to understand the situation before approving the agricultural loan.
The house built at such a huge cost is certainly extraordinary - it is an eye-opener for the local people, who have never seen such a house with such a reasonable layout, convenience and comfort.
Following Wan Lihui's instructions, Fu Buer's wife planted pumpkins in the backyard and put a scaffolding on the roof, which not only made full use of the light, but also saved land. Fu Fuji's family originally raised ducks. Wan Lihui taught her to use the duck manure from her own ducks to decompose and then breed earthworms in the backyard - the earthworm seeds were provided by Wan Lihui. The finished earthworms are recycled by Tiandihui. Sometimes the Fu family even thinks that the world is a bit "dumb". They spend money to buy many useless things, earthworms are one of them, followed by chicken, duck feathers, bones, eggshells and other things. She didn't know that the special feed she spent money to buy to make ducks lay more eggs was made from these useless things.
In the front yard, she planted several fruit trees and raised more than fifty chickens. The chicken shed and the chicken's sports ground were built under the guidance of agricultural technicians. A scaffolding was built above the sports ground for the same purpose. Planting pumpkins - In addition to serving as vegetables and whole grains, pumpkins are also a good source of feed.
The excrement of egg yolks is fermented and used to feed pigs - Fu Fuji's family raises more than a dozen "Australian pigs", which are provided by the farm's breeding pig farm. Tiandi will also provide the same amount of "small poultry loans" based on the past model. "Pig and Sheep Loans" loan piglets and lambs to farmers for raising. Of course the Fu Fuji family didn't need such a low-level loan - he paid for it directly. In addition to pigs, Tiandihui also encourages everyone to raise sheep based on the characteristics of the local wasteland with abundant weeds. Fu Buer's family also raised about ten of them.
Pig manure, sheep manure and the remaining residue after economic recycling of the entire yard are all thrown into the family's biogas digester - the biogas digester also accepts the feces of Fu Buer's family to become fuel and fertilizer. Fu Fuji's family is the first family in Meiyang Village to use biogas for cooking. Even the well-informed Fu Fu and Fu Xi were surprised when they saw it for the first time.
Fu Fu walked into the spacious and bright living room, looked at the glass inlaid on the window, and thought to himself that the master of the house is really accomplished! As for this kind of enjoyment, except for the brands of a few wealthy people in Dongmen City, he has never seen anything useful to the local people.
The furniture in the living room is of the so-called "Australian" style - a style of furniture that has become popular locally and even in Guangdong. I bought the rattan sofa chair and coffee table from a rattan woodware store in Dongmen City. They are very suitable for the high temperature in Lingao. Because it is winter now, cotton cushions are laid on them. The ground is no longer dirt, it is paved with square tiles. Fu Buer also bought and hung up a "Holy Ship Sunrise Picture" printed with engraving and color matching from Dongmen City in an elegant way, and mounted it in an elegant frame. There is a four-leaf screen in the middle of the living room, and a set of four strip-screen style engraving posters is posted on it: "Fubo Officers and Soldiers". The patterns on it are of the Army, Navy, and Marine Corps. Figures of soldiers and veteran officers.
Whether they are soldiers or officers, all of them have thick eyebrows, big eyes, and strong muscles. One is holding either a rifle with a bayonet or a cannonball, while the veteran officer is holding a command knife, leading the soldiers forward to guide the target. There are also different slogans and slogans below, all in red.
Such posters have been produced in small batches by printing houses as part of political propaganda. The new Huahua green posters were cheap and had good paper quality and printing. They quickly captured most of the market for traditional New Year pictures flowing in from Guangdong. In particular, people like Fu Fuji are willing to post such "New Year pictures" to express their unusual relationship with Australians.
There is no one at home, everyone is working outside. Fu Yijin first fetched water for Fu Fu to wash his face, while Fu Xi hurried to make tea - the habit of drinking tea has gradually been developed in Fu Buer's family.
Fu Fu took off his armed belt and luggage and felt relieved. Seeing Fu Yijin bring him face wash, he became a little shy and said in a small voice: "Thank you, Sister Yijin." As he said that, he took out a towel from his bag, and their hands touched each other intentionally or unintentionally. , Fu Fu dared to squeeze his sister's hand.
Fu Yijin gave him an angry look. Fu Fuyue was bold - he had been in the team for more than two years. He had enough to eat and drink, and he had developed a good body. He was also a young man and had very strong physiological needs. Originally, he only relied on strict discipline and continuous training and labor every day. Having been suppressed, now that all of this was gone, this need immediately reared its head.
Suddenly he had the courage to hug Fu Yijin's waist: "Sister Yijin!" He called out and started to move on his sister's body. Fu Yijin was shocked - Qing Tianbai was at home, his parents and brothers and sisters would be back at any time, and there was Fu Xi boiling water outside. If he happened to see him, he would be in trouble.
She quickly pushed Fu Fu's hand away: "You are going to die!" She pulled on her clothes, "What should I do if someone sees me?!"
"Sister Yijin——"
"With you acting like this, I don't dare to be with you casually anymore." Fu Yijin put on a reserved look like "little sister", "What do you think I am..."
Just when Fu Fuxing wanted to express that he was "sincere", the sound of Fu Xi's footsteps could be heard from outside, so he had to let go of his hand and sit down. I was thinking about how to mention this matter when I met the head of the family.
Fu Xi brought tea in and seemed not to notice the difference between the two. Fu Yijin took out some dried sweet potatoes from the cupboard to entertain Fu Fu.
"I don't dare to eat it," Fu Fu said jokingly to cover up his embarrassment, "The Fu family hasn't agreed yet."
"It's okay, she doesn't care about these little things now." Fu Xi said nonchalantly, "You can't make money by saving money. Now the wife of the house understands this."
Fu Fu's return to the village caused a small commotion in the village. A little domestic boy who was tied up and taken out to serve as a soldier has now become a majestic soldier, and the news immediately spread in the village. Fu Fu had just eaten a few mouthfuls of dried sweet potatoes. Hundreds of villagers had already arrived in the front yard of Fu Buer's house. Some came to watch the fun, some came to listen to the news, and some heard that being a soldier was well paid and wanted to The living room was crowded with soldiers who were going to serve in the army. It was even more lively than when Wan Lihui first went to the countryside.
When everyone saw what the Fu Fuji family's domesticated child had become, everyone was amazed - they all said that Australians really have the ability to turn stone into gold. No matter whether it is an object or a person, it can become radiant after being rubbed in their hands. This Fu Fu used to be as skinny as a monkey, dark and dry, unfavorable at work, and grunting when he spoke. Not only will you become strong and handsome, your speech will be strong and orderly. This "Newspeak" alone puts everyone's dialect to shame.
The villagers are most interested in the events of the previous stage of the war. The mobilization of the entire Lingao County for war preparations also spread to Meiyang Village. Some of the village militia were also mobilized to build roads and transport supplies to Bopu, but they did not directly participate in the war. The closest to the front line was to go to Ma Niao to guard the prisoners. What the militiamen said after their return could not satisfy everyone's curiosity. Later, although a "special issue" of "Lingao Times" came to the village office, which was dedicated to the victory of Chengmai, and was also preached by agricultural technicians, everyone still felt that it was not enough. The content of the special issue is too little, only simple process and results. People prefer to hear news that is as vivid as a storyteller.
As a soldier of the 1st Infantry Battalion, Fu Fu directly participated in a series of battles such as Chengmai and saw a lot. Of course there is a lot to talk about. Now that someone was willing to listen, he started talking like a storyteller. From the march, to the battle under Chengmai City, to the pursuit all the way to Qiongshan. He boasted about the infantry phalanx attacking the cavalry, the naval ships setting off rockets to burn Chengmai County, the flight of tens of thousands of officers and soldiers, and even the naval battle of Baisha Shuizhai, which he had never participated in. The villagers all listened with great interest.
Then someone asked about being a soldier. Fu Fu boasted a lot - people usually beautify their situation - he had three meals a day, every meal was delicious, and he boasted about his experiences in marching and fighting in various places. It's said that all the local boys are itching to go out and serve as soldiers to see the market. As for being a soldier and having to train and support agriculture, everyone doesn't think much of it. Doing farm work at home is just as hard and tiring. Several people immediately asked about the requirements for joining the army and how to sign up.
Everyone was talking bustlingly when Fu Buer came back with Wan Lihui. Since Fu Buer has become a "model", Meiyang Village has become one of the few villages that can still often receive direct guidance from veteran agricultural technicians. Now most of Tiandihui's customers can only receive guidance from naturalized technicians, and only complex and important ones can receive guidance from naturalized technicians. Only if the problem arises will the elders guide you.
Wan Lihui is not averse to frequent visits to Meiyang Village - since the Fu family renovated their house, their living conditions are much better than before, almost on par with those in Dongmen City. I also have a very cute daughter to take care of me. It is a very enjoyable thing to stay here for a few days and provide guidance on technical issues. When he went to the countryside this time, on the one hand, he promoted the planting of winter wheat, and on the other hand, he guided farmers to engage in courtyard economy and promote "planting ten sides"-especially the use of various open spaces to grow castor and flax. Both crops are urgently needed oil crops in the Lingao industrial system.
