Chapter 454: Opening up wasteland
Zhou Weiguo and Wu Dagang have agreed that each of them, the educated youth, can have three points of land.
His three-thirds of land, plus the two sisters', is almost an acre.
Although these lands need to be reclaimed by himself, it is okay. Anyway, he never thought of asking the production team to give him the reclaimed land.
This news has not spread yet. I believe that the educated youth will be very happy when it is announced tomorrow.
Of course, benefiting the educated youth is just incidental, and the real purpose is for oneself.
With this acre of land, he can grow ginseng. Once the ginseng is planted, he will have starting capital.
At that time, even if he cannot sell it in the production team, he can take it back to the city and find a place to sell it himself.
According to preliminary estimates, an acre of ginseng grown on an entire field could be sold for tens of thousands of yuan.
A household worth ten thousand yuan in this era is incredible.
With money, when he returns to the city, whether he wants to start a career or simply become a free man, there will be no problem.
Anyway, it is impossible to work part-time. It is impossible to work part-time in this life.
After walking around the yellow land, Zhou Ziwen turned around and went home.
After arriving home, he put the farm tools on his shoulders, returned to the loess land, and began to cultivate the land.
This wasteland has never been planted, so it requires a lot of effort to cultivate it.
The roots of weeds and trees above are tangled, and the grass roots in the soil are like nets, making it very difficult to cultivate.
It is precisely because the environment of the wasteland is relatively bad, and it is far away from the village and the place is relatively remote, that it has not been reclaimed by the production team.
Of course, Zhou Ziwen’s understanding of planting is also included.
Although he has not yet mastered his planting skills, he is very close to it, and it only takes two or three days at most.
With his planting skills, he also has some understanding of soil quality.
Although he is not very proficient, at least in Dabazi Village, no one can compare with him.
In the following time, Zhou Ziwen began to weed the loess.
Spring is here, and the weeds in the ground have begun to appear, as well as the dead grass from last year, which requires a lot of effort to clean up.
Fortunately, Zhou Ziwen is strong and moves quickly. It only took him one morning to take care of two or three acres of land.
Of course, his care was just a preliminary cleaning of the weeds on the ground. To reach the point where it can be planted, he still needs to continue to plow deeply.
It was almost noon when Zhou Ziwen returned home. At this time, the two sisters happened to be returning home from work.
"Brother Ziwen, where have you been? Why are you still carrying a hoe?"
Chen Qiaoyi asked curiously.
“I went to reclaim the land on the hillside over there.”
Seeing his wife coming back, Zhou Ziwen showed a smile on his face.
"Create land?"
"Brother Zhou, why are you reclaiming land?"
Hearing this, the Chen sisters were stunned, and Zhou Chaoyang and Shen Zhaodi on the side were also a little confused. .
It’s not that they are not smart, but it’s just that they really couldn’t imagine why Zhou Ziwen suddenly went to cultivate land.
After all, he is the leader of the mushroom team. He only needs to run the mushroom house well. How come it is not his turn to cultivate land or something?
"Today I went to discuss with Uncle Wu and the captain. He promised us that we can reclaim the land ourselves and use it as private land. However, each person can only reclaim a maximum of three-thirds of the land, and no more." Zhou Ziwen explained.
"Can we have our own private land?" As soon as these words came out, the Chen sisters and Zhou Chaoyang's eyes widened.
"Yes, this news has not been announced yet. The captain and others will announce it when they gather tomorrow morning." Zhou Ziwen nodded.
It is not a big deal to let the educated youth reclaim their own land, just announce it by the way.
After all, in Dabazi Village, they are only a minority of educated youths, with a total of about thirty people, which is only a drop in the bucket for the Dabazi production team of more than a thousand people.
"Great, we can have our own private land in the future." Shen Zhaodi said happily.
"Yes, I have private land, but I have to cultivate it myself." Although Zhou Chaoyang was very happy about this news, when he realized it, he was not so happy anymore.
You must know that he and Shen Zhaodi ate together, and they used food and money together. Although they worked for their own purposes, they could still be considered a family.
The two of them divided their labors. The land reclamation must be a man's job, and he couldn't let a woman do the hard work.
But with his small arms and legs, even though he has been exercising in the countryside for so long, his physical fitness has improved to a higher level than before he went to the countryside.
But that is reclaiming wasteland. How can this kind of work not be tiring?
Thinking of the coming pain, Zhou Chaoyang turned into a bitter melon face.
"Ziwen, does everyone have the private land you mentioned?" Chen Shiying came back to her senses and asked.
“Well, yes.”
Zhou Ziwen nodded, and then explained, "The villagers will not talk about it. They have their own private land. This news is mainly for us educated youths. After all, we educated youths are also members of the production team. The villagers have their own We should have our own land."
"That's great, Brother Zhou, it's a shame. If it were anyone else, the production team wouldn't agree to it," Zhou Chaoyang said.
He could see this clearly, that is, Zhou Ziwen was the leader of the mushroom team and had a status in the production team.
Because of this, the production team is willing to let them have their own land.
Although this land needs to be reclaimed by yourself.
But without the consent of the production team, there is nothing they can do.
Just like those educated youths before, they could only grow vegetables in their own yards. Because they were not good at growing vegetables, sometimes they could only eat with pickles. Those days were much harder than before going to the countryside.
“It’s going to be lively at the Educated Youth Academy now.” Chen Shiying said.
"Haha, they are always lively there!" Chen Qiaoyi answered with a smile.
In fact, ever since Zhang Wenli and Zhou Qiang raised piglets, the Educated Youth Home has become lively.
Because they were not prepared before, the two piglets they brought back could only be kept in the dormitory.
But the dormitory is not theirs alone, because the existence of Piggy has brought great inconvenience to others.
In the past few days, people in the Educated Youth Academy have had a lot of complaints.
Although one Zhang Wenli and Zhou Qiang are the female educated youth captain of the Educated Youth Academy, the other is the male educated youth captain.
But their captain is just a leader selected by the production team for the convenience of management.
Call them captain when everyone wants to, but if they don't, that's bullshit.
When it comes to your own interests, who cares what you are?
While talking, Zhou Ziwen returned home and put down the hoe first.
Behind him, the Chen sisters and Zhou Chaoyang also followed in.
Suddenly hearing the news about the private land made them a little excited, and they couldn't calm down for a while.
