Chapter 108 Isn’t this enough?
Xia Chan glanced at the team leader, and then said, "Yes, it is definitely too late to plant rice and wheat, but we can plant things that are available in time, such as potatoes, which are harvested in October, pumpkins, which are harvested in November, and that is corn. We can also plant autumn corn and harvest it in time for the end of November, and we can put more weight on things like radishes and cabbages. No matter what they are, as long as we are not hungry, it will be fine. As for food, we must believe in the leadership and the country. The country will not They will ignore us.”
“Mr. That’s it.” The captain continued.
After everyone heard this, they were no longer so worried.
Everyone has hidden food in the cellar and sealed the entrance with plastic sheets. As long as the flood does not enter, there will still be enough food for a while.
And the country will not ignore them, so they can put their hearts in their stomachs.
Seeing that the situation had stabilized, Xia Chan felt a little more relaxed. If everyone disobeyed and caused trouble, it would be difficult for the captain to do so.
"Little rabbit, so cute!"
At this time, a child's voice of joy came out, so the children all ran to the hare-like area to see the little rabbit. Everyone put their heads next to each other and looked curiously at the newly born little rabbit.
The rabbit breeding farm has grown from just a few rabbits at the beginning to more than 300 rabbits now. It is estimated that there will be more than 600 rabbits by the end of the year, and there will be more and more rabbits in the future.
Everyone seemed to have seen new hope, with joyful smiles on their faces. Yes, the food in the fields could not be saved, but everyone saved their lives and the cows, pigs and rabbits in the team. These are amazing. They are the hope of the whole team!
There were too many rabbits, and the food they brought with them when they were transferred could not last for a few days, so Qin Hongmei arranged for people to wear raincoats and bamboo hats to go outside the cave to find wild vegetables for the rabbits, and control the moisture before letting the rabbits eat them.
Qin Hongmei now has rich experience. Even if these rabbits came to a strange place, they did not get sick or appear acclimatized.
The captain of the brigade took his strong laborers to the mountains every day to understand the situation in the village. The water was getting deeper and deeper, and there was no way to get out. He also had no way to go to the commune to find the leader. As for the disaster situation in the town, he was even more concerned about the situation. There is no way to know. Now we can only pray that the rain will stop soon and the water level will go down quickly, so that everyone can go down the mountain and rebuild their homes as soon as possible.
Seeing the captain coming back, Xia Chan went up to him, "Uncle captain, they all say that there will be a great epidemic after a major disaster. If we don't take precautions early, it will be terrible when everyone gets sick. Ask the cowshed where An old man, please see if he is a doctor and ask him to think of a way to help everyone get through the critical moment after the flood. ”
Xia Chan did this to help the old doctor improve his reputation in the production team, so that their treatment would be better in the future.
The captain thought about it and thought it was right. Not only would everything be fine after the flood, but there were still a series of things waiting for him. So the captain went to the old man in the cowshed and asked about it. The old man looked at Xia Chan and saw Xia Chan. He nodded slightly to himself and stood up.
"Captain, when the rain stops and the water level drops, captain, please send someone to buy the medicinal materials I need. I will brew the medicine for everyone to drink. Although the effect may not be that good, it will definitely have some effect." The old man also said I dare not say it so absolutely.
The captain reached out excitedly to hold the old man's hand, "Old comrade, thank you so much. I want to thank you, comrade, on behalf of all the villagers in the production team."
The old man waved his hand, "It is also an honor for me to contribute to the production team."
He didn't say much, and he didn't let others know that he was a doctor, so as not to cause harm to him. After all, the world is not a good place now. Everyone brought food with them when they went into the mountains, but not many people brought vegetables. But if you don't eat vegetables, it is not good for your health. It may also cause constipation, but you can't let too many people go out to pick wild vegetables. , after all, Xia Chan planted a lot of things on the mountain, it would be bad for everyone to find out.
So Xia Chan called a few teenage girls, put on their own raincoats, and took them out to pick wild vegetables. Instead of looking around, she went straight to the area where the water spinach was.
Anyway, no one here knew water spinach, so she just said it was a wild vegetable she discovered accidentally.
After picking the water spinach and handing it over to Aunt Lin, Aunt Lin will call the team leader and deputy team leader of each group and give a handful to each household. Those with a larger family will get a larger portion, and those with a smaller family will get a smaller portion. A little, it’s enough for one meal anyway.
In this way, every day, Xia Chan took the girls to pick "wild vegetables" twice, either water spinach, amaranth, and other wild vegetables. As for the cucumbers, beans, etc. she planted, they were absolutely unacceptable. revealed.
After all, her family lives halfway up the mountain. If she went to pick these things, wouldn't she tell everyone that she secretly planted things on the mountain?
If you can find food, you naturally want to protect your home.
What's more, she has already contributed water spinach and amaranth. Isn't this enough?
On the ninth day of shelter from the rain, the rescue team set up by the army set up a small boat and finally arrived at the Yongan Production Team. They saw that only a little roof was left in the entire village, and other places were flooded. The water flow was a bit fast, and the boat struggled to survive in the flood. Move forward.
As the leader of this group, Xiao Yunfan raised his head and looked halfway up the mountain. The stone house halfway up the mountain stood there steadily, but the way down the mountain was like a waterfall. The water flowed from top to bottom, which made people unable to stand at all. Go up the mountain.
Everyone worked hard to hold the boat and change directions to go up the mountain.
After getting off the boat, everyone tied the boat to the tree trunk and walked all the way up. After a long time, they arrived near the cave. When they heard the voice of someone talking inside, Xiao Yunfan relaxed a little.
He knew she was a smart person and she wouldn't let him down.
Seeing the rescue team coming, several village officials who were talking at the entrance of the cave stood up.
"Captain, are you all okay here?" Xiao Yunfan stepped forward and asked with concern, but his eyes were lowered. When he saw her cooking something by the fire, his uneasy heart was completely relieved.
"Captain Xiao, because Teacher Xia promptly organized everyone to go up the mountain to avoid danger, everything is fine here, and we have no worries about food and drink." The captain said happily.
"Captain, do you want us to move to the temporary resettlement site?" This place is just like home, a hundred times better than the temporary resettlement site. There is food and drink, so Xiao Yunfan did not say that he would take them there, but Ask them if they want to.
After all, it’s pretty good here.
