Chapter 785: Fifty-year-old sister-in-law (18)

As the team leader, Fu Rongxing thought he had to take the lead. He learned from Xu Yin because he didn’t know how to grow vegetables. After he learned it, he became more interested in it than the other team members. He often ran in the fields and vegetable fields, taking care of both ends.

Every once in a while, he goes to the city to report on work without stopping. After the meeting, the working meal is dry steamed buns. The captains of other teams eat slowly with boiling water before leaving. Only Fu Rongxing carries the steamed buns. Eating the steamed bun and hurrying on the road.

Other captains of the reclamation team were puzzled:

"What are you busy with, Lao Fu? You have to take time to hold a meeting? Are you in such a hurry?"

 “Is their distant mountain team unwilling to work well without the captain watching over them?”

"Compared with this, our team is relatively worry-free." Zhou Hengchang looked at Fu Rongxing's hurried back and hurriedly tried to improve his team's favor. "Although the progress is not very fast, at least it can be the same whether the captain is present or not."

Someone said something to him: "It's true that both people here and there love to work hard."

 “Hahahaha…” Others laughed.

Zhou Hengchang turned black from laughing.

I thought angrily: Just look! We’ll know which team is more powerful when we wait for the autumn harvest! Isn’t it that the Yuanshan team had a member with incredible strength that stole the show? But what is the reclamation team competing for? It’s reclaimed wasteland! It’s the harvested food! It's not like anyone is stronger than anyone else. Wolves don't appear every two days. Just having a handful of brute force is useless!

 Fu Rongxing knew nothing about the discussions and speculations of other teams.

He hurriedly went to have a meeting, then hurriedly returned to the base camp, watered the vegetable field before sunset, and then cooked dinner with the team members on duty.

If we were to choose the best cook in the team, Xu Yin would have to be the one chosen.

Even if there are no ingredients, just a simple wild vegetable, she can make it both delicious and delicious.

If she had less strength and less efficient work, Fu Rongxing would have no problem leaving her at the base camp to be responsible for cooking.

But the key thing is that her performance in the reclamation mission is also the best in the team. Without her, there would be no current results.

Coupled with her record of single-handedly challenging thirteen wolves, with her here, the reclamation team felt like they had a needle to stabilize the sea. Especially the female comrades, they felt particularly at ease when reclaiming wasteland in the desolate wilderness.

As a result, Captain Fu was certainly reluctant to leave Xu Yin at the base camp to cook full-time.

 The food cooked by others, including him, is a bit unpalatable, but after all, the task of reclaiming wasteland is the most important, so let’s make do with it.

 When the team members of the land reclamation team came back from work, they squatted or sat down with bowls in hand, and held a meeting while eating to exchange views on the progress of the land reclamation and convey the spirit of the meeting.

"Comrades, today I went to the city for a meeting. In addition to reporting on the work, the organization also gave us a few suggestions: First, as the weather gets warmer, the water consumption for field irrigation increases, and the reclaimed wasteland is getting closer and closer to the water source. It is far away, so we need to dig more canals; secondly, the ear-bearing period is about to come, so we need to be on guard against wild boars and gophers. In addition, the abominable U.S. imperialists have sent planes to invade many places in northern my country, spreading insects carrying viruses and bacteria, and organizationally We are called upon to actively eliminate all kinds of pests while opening up wasteland and growing food. Regarding the second item, do comrades have any good suggestions?"

“Captain, most of these insects are flying in the sky, how can we get rid of them?”

 “Smoke with a torch?”

 “They will run away.”

 “Catch with a net?”

 “Where can I get so many networks?”

Captain Fu was at a loss. From the corner of his eye, he caught sight of Xu Yin who was thoughtfully thinking. His eyes lit up: "Xiao Xu, have you thought of any good ideas?"

 Xu Yin: “…”

 No, she was just thinking—the United States really always likes to use germ warfare.

However, since the captain asked, she thought carefully and then suggested: "How about we try the trapping method?"

 “What kind of trapping method, please tell me in detail.”

  Xu Yin talked about two physical trapping methods that are applicable to the current situation.

 One is sweetener trapping, and the other is soapy water trapping.

 It's just that nowadays, sugar and soap are two consumables that people are reluctant to use themselves. It is too luxurious to use them to catch mosquitoes and flies.

Xu Yin then suggested going to the mountains to look for wild beehives and honey locust nuts. "Captain, I know acacia nuts, and I also know how to get honeycombs. Let me go!" Xu Yinmao recommended herself.

If these two things are not available on the mountain, they are available in her system warehouse.

Captain Fu hesitated and said: "Hewozitun is far away from the mountains. The nearest mountain top requires an oxcart to walk for a long time. Just driving back and forth would take a whole day, let alone looking for these two things. Let's spend the night in the mountains. It's not like that. Safety…"

"I am a fast runner. If I go out early in the morning, I will definitely be back before nightfall."

Captain Fu thought of her skills and if she could go and return on the same day, her safety would be guaranteed, so he agreed.

But he didn't let Xu Yin walk. How long would it take to walk? He came forward and asked the village to borrow an ox cart, and drove the ox cart to accompany Xu Yin.

 It is also good for two people to take care of each other when they are walking together.

 Early the next morning, as soon as it dawned, the two men set off in an ox cart.

They didn’t eat breakfast either. Each of them took two woofou, which were so thick that they cut their throats, and took a few bites when they were hungry.

Just like this, we hurriedly and slowly reached the bottom of the mountain. It was already noon.

Xu Yin jumped off the bullock cart, stretched her wrists and ankles, and said, "Captain, why don't you just wait for me here, and I'll go up the mountain directly from here, so I won't waste any time."

“But it’s so steep here, how can we climb it?”

 “It’s okay, I’m good at climbing mountains.”

After Xu Yin finished speaking, she picked up the bamboo basket and nimbly ran into the forest. After a while, she was obscured by the dense trees.

 Fu captain: “…”

After reacting, he quickly shouted: "Xiao Xu, please be safe! If you really can't find it, just forget it! Let's think of other ways!"

"receive!"

Xu Yin's reply came from the mountain, echoing far and wide.

 Captain Fu had to take care of the bullock cart, and it was inconvenient to go far, so he had to wait for her where he was.

“Lao Niu, Lao Niu, let’s pray together that Comrade Xu Yin will go and come back smoothly, and nothing will go wrong...”

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　

The old cow swung its tail, gnawed the grass on the ground, and gave him a snort.

Over there, Xu Yin used Qinggong and quickly walked through the mountain forest, looking for wild beehives and honey locust trees along the way.

I did see a few groups of wild bees, but I didn't see a hive nearby. Fortunately, a few bees finished their circling task of picking flowers and seemed to be planning to return to the hive. Xu Yin followed them. The bees flew and she ran, ran, ran, Suddenly there was a burst of gunfire in the distance.

 The wild bees were frightened and flew around.

Xu Yin stopped, quickly climbed up a nearby tree, put a camouflage uniform on herself, took out her binoculars, and looked in the direction of the gunshot.

In the jungle, three soldiers of our army wearing military uniforms were being chased by a group of gun-wielding gangsters.

“Old Lin, leave quickly! Gangzi and I will cover you!”

 “Let’s go together!”

 “Stop nagging! Leave quickly! If you keep nagging, no one will be able to leave!”

"But…"

 “Let’s go!”
