Movie: Get Alpha Dog at the start

Chapter 249 Self-reliance
It was dark early in the countryside, and there were no entertainment items, so I didn't know what to do after dinner. Ning Yu and his group went to the Datong shop, but none of them could fall asleep, and they chatted there.

"Oh, what nonsense to build a countryside, I think, this is what sent us here, look at the environment here, there is not even a light." A buddy complained.

Ning Yu also sighed straight away: "Let's not talk about anything else, just not having enough to eat is a big problem. When you came, you found out that the nearby mountains are bare, and there are no decent trees. There are also those dirt ditches, tens of meters deep, if they fall, they may die.”

Everyone talked to each other. The enthusiasm before coming here has long since disappeared. The ideals are full and the reality is very skinny. At this time, these children from the big courtyard began to miss the days in the capital very much.

"Hey, brother Hao, what are you thinking?" Ning Yu found out that Qin Hao was not asleep, so he asked curiously.

Qin Hao shook his head: "I'm thinking about how to open up the situation. Maybe we'll have to stay here for several years. It's not the way to go on like this."

Hearing what Qin Hao said, Ning Yu and the others became interested, and their eyes fell on Qin Hao.

"Brother Hao, do you have any ideas?"

Qin Hao waved his hand: "It's too early to talk about it now, let's talk about it tomorrow after getting familiar with the environment here."

After speaking, Qin Hao covered the quilt and closed his eyes to sleep.

When Ning Yu and the others saw it, they also lost interest in continuing to chat. After a while, there were repeated snoring sounds in the room.

The next day, Qin Hao woke up before dawn. It was because he went to bed too early yesterday, and Ning Yu and the others were the same. The movement of Qin Hao waking up woke them up, wiping their eyes one by one. , yawning and asking what time it is.

Qin Hao glanced at his watch, it was only a quarter past five, and he got up to wash his hands. When he was squatting on the steps in front of the small courtyard and brushing his teeth, he found that Qin Ling was babbling and practicing vocal music on a small slope opposite. , The two looked at each other, and they both did their own things.

After Qin Hao finished washing, Ning Yu and others also got up. At this time, the sky was still gray and foggy, and the weeds on the roadside were covered with dewdrops.

Perhaps the only advantage here is that the air is clearer than in Beijing.

Qin Hao led Ning Yu and his entourage to the hillside behind the house. Looking around, there were yellow soil slopes one by one. Except for some farmers and weeds, there were almost no decent forests on it. It was a gray and desolate scene.

Bending down and grabbing a handful of loess from the ground, rubbing it, it was very hard. The northern Shaanxi plateau is dominated by chestnut soil, and the soil fertilizer content is low. In addition, northern Shaanxi belongs to a temperate semi-arid continental climate, with little precipitation. Long-term cultivation has accelerated soil erosion, and the land is actually very poor.

After Ning Yu and the others listened to Qin Hao's analysis, they all had a bitter face. This is simply the beginning of hell.

"Brother Hao, what should we do then?"

Qin Hao didn't answer, but continued to wander around, observing the cultivation of the cultivated land in the village. It was almost eight o'clock when Ning Yu and the others were so hungry that they returned to their residence.

As soon as I entered the yard, I could smell a scent. The little girl Zhong Ling who I just met yesterday complained, "Where have you been? Our food has been cooked for a while."

"Hey, didn't we go on an inspection trip?" Ning Yu and his fellows didn't show any politeness at all, and went straight to the kitchen to serve porridge.

Millet porridge + pickles is the standard breakfast here, not even a bun. Qin Hao just drank a bowl of porridge, and the pot bottomed out.

One and a half children complained: "This is too little. It's just such a thin porridge. It sloshes and disappears in less than two hours. Why don't you cook a little more?"

Zhong Ling glared at him: "Our ration is only so small, we have to plan to eat, with your appetite, if you eat it openly, we will all have to drink the northwest wind before the middle of the month."

Ning Yu hurriedly said to Qin Hao: "Brother Hao, you should quickly think of a way. It's hard to say whether we can return to the capital alive if this continues."

At this time, the group of children in the big courtyard no longer have any illusions, and the only thought now is to survive - to go home!
Qin Ling also looked at Qin Hao curiously: "By the way, I saw you walking around just now, did you gain anything?"

Qin Ling is a smart person. From Ning Yu's obedience to Qin Haoyan's attitude yesterday, she realized that among this group of people, Qin Hao is a well-deserved leader.

To convince Ning Yu and the others so much, Qin Hao must have some extraordinary ability.

Qin Hao put down the bowl and chopsticks, and said slowly: "There is only one way now - self-reliance!"

"Self-reliance?"

Everyone's puzzled and astonished eyes fell on Qin Hao's face for a moment.

"What do you mean?" Zhong Ling asked innocently.

Another female educated youth pulled her whip and scolded with a smile: "You little fool, don't you understand this? It means that we don't want the rations provided by the educated youth, and we farm the land to support ourselves. Am I right?"

Qin Hao nodded: "That's right."

"But, can this work?" Ning Yu saw that all the children in the big courtyard were staring at him, and quickly explained: "Brother Hao, I don't doubt you, what I mean is, can the village and the Educated Youth Office agree?"

Qin Hao smiled: "If it's a few years later, maybe you won't agree, but when is it now? Thousands of educated youths go to the countryside, there must be a set of models at the top, right? Is there anything better than educated youths going to the countryside without waiting or relying on them?" , Self-reliance, is it more positive?"

"As for the village, I wish we could get rid of our burdens."

Although the Educated Youth Office is responsible for the rations of the Educated Youth, the policy is subject to change at any time. What if the Educated Youth Office no longer provides rations?Who can explain this kind of thing clearly, the village naturally hopes to get rid of this burden.

Hearing what Qin Hao said, everyone looked at each other and felt that this was the truth.

However, Qin Ling poured cold water on everyone at this time: "Do you know how to farm? There are so many experienced farmers in the village who can only make ends meet. Can we do it?"

After what Qin Ling said, the lively atmosphere just turned cold in an instant, and several female educated youths were already retreating. They had already participated in collective labor, and the village still took care of them. This also makes them so tired that they doubt life.

Ning Yu and the others also looked at Qin Hao. They had never done farm work, and they didn't know the hard work of doing farm work, otherwise they would probably be the same as the female educated youths.

Qin Hao said unhurriedly: "Farming the land will definitely be very hard, and everyone should be mentally prepared for this, but in fact, whether we farm the land by ourselves or not, we all have to do farm work. The difference is that if we do it ourselves Fuck, if you have a chance to have a full meal, if you hang out with the group, you can only be like this, and you can only drink porridge to one-third of your full."

"How to decide, you choose."

Ning Yu and the others looked at each other for a long time, then gritted their teeth: "If you go all out, what's the point of living without enough to eat?"

"That's right, Brother Hao, tell me what to do, we all listen to you!"

Several female educated youths saw that the male educated youths were all on Qin Hao's side, and the youngest Zhong Ling was also persuaded, and then all the female educated youths except Qin Ling also expressed to obey Qin Hao's arrangement.

Qin Ling saw that in just a short while, Qin Hao unified everyone's opinions, and couldn't help but look at him with admiration.

"Well, since everyone believes in you, I have nothing to say."

Qin Hao first talked about the disadvantages of the environment in northern Shaanxi, and everyone felt cold after hearing this.

Ning Yu smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Hao, according to what you say, aren't we looking for a dead end when we farm the land?"

Qin Hao smiled unhurriedly: "Planting land also depends on the situation. What to plant and how to plant are all particular. In the early stage, we will not grow grain, but soybeans."

"Soybeans?"

"That's right, the reason why the grain yield in northern Shaanxi is not high is largely due to the lack of fertilizers, and the roots of bean plants have rhizobia symbiotically. Rhizobium is a nitrogen-fixing bacteria that converts nitrogen in the air into nitrogen-containing nitrogen that can be absorbed. Ions, increasing the content of nitrogen fertilizer can effectively make up for the lack of fertilizer in the land, we can plant a season of soybeans first, and then plant a season of grain, so that we can grow the land while planting, and the output of grain and soybeans is definitely enough for us to eat."

Qin Hao took the bowl of porridge he just drank, took the bowl of water, moistened his throat, and continued: "And soybeans can also be made into soy products such as soybean oil, tofu, and dried tofu. Exchange some necessities of our life, such as meat, cloth and so on."

After listening to Qin Hao's analysis, everyone who was still depressed at first became alive in an instant, as if they were living the happy life described by Qin Hao.

"Brother Hao, what are we still doing here? Let's do it, I can't live through this shitty life for a moment."

"That's right, let those fellow villagers who look down on us see that we educated youths didn't come to play with them!"

Seeing that everyone had no objections, Qin Hao led them to find the village party secretary.

Before Qin Hao finished speaking, the village party secretary shook his head vigorously: "You little children are really whimsical. There is no such policy here."

Qin Hao interrupted directly: "Old Party Secretary, we will apply to the Educated Youth Office for the policy from above. You don't have to worry about this matter. We will bear the policy risk."

The village party secretary still shook his head: "Even if there is a policy from above, the land in our village is owned by the collective and distributed to you. Wouldn't that be a small group? If everyone is like you, wouldn't it be a mess?"

A few children from the big courtyard with a relatively hot temper, seeing the village party secretary push back and forth, wished to hang this guy up and beat him up.

Qin Hao gave a warning look, stopped them, turned his head and continued to say to the village party secretary: "We don't want the land in the village. I checked it this morning. There are still a lot of wasteland in the village that has not been reclaimed. Just give us these wastelands. Well, it will not affect the area of ​​cultivated land in the village."

In fact, at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, in order to encourage wasteland reclamation, there was a policy to reclaim wasteland and obtain the right to use the wasteland for a period of time. This is not a violation of discipline.

The village party secretary looked at Qin Hao with some surprise. At first he thought it was the group of educated youths who wanted to do something on the spur of the moment. Hearing what the young man in front of him said, he was actually well-founded and took care of both the policy and the actual situation. I can't help but sigh with emotion, as expected of the children of the big courtyard, there are two brushes.

"Your name is Qin Hao?" the village secretary asked.

Qin Hao nodded.

"Okay, I will call the village cadres to study this matter, and I will give you an answer at that time, but let's talk about it first, you have to get the consent of the county educated youth office first." The village party secretary emphasized his position and took risks. He doesn't do things.

"No problem, let's go to the county to ask for policies." Qin Hao also knows that this is a routine operation in the officialdom. Don't underestimate a small village party secretary. In this closed environment, this is the Tudi Emperor. A set is also very skilled.

After returning to the Educated Youth Courtyard, Qin Hao was ready to go to the county. Let alone the village and the county in northern Shaanxi, even the villages are separated by dozens of miles. He went to the county every once in a while. It will take a day or two at least.

"Well, let Ning Yu go with me. There are too many people going, and the Educated Youth Office thought we were going to force the palace." Qin Hao said.

Ning Yu laughed so hard that he couldn't close his mouth. Although the other children in the big courtyard were envious, they didn't say anything. After all, there was no donkey cart to go to the county this time, and they had to rely on two legs for the whole journey, so it was not an easy job.

Just when Qin Hao was about to leave, Qin Ling stood up and said, "I want to go too."

"No, what are you going to do?" Ning Yu asked impatiently before Qin Hao could speak.

Qin Ling ignored him, but said to Qin Hao: "The great leader said that women hold up half the sky. Don't look down on women. Since everyone is petitioning together, we female educated youths should also contribute."

"That's right, you are not allowed to look down on people!" Zhong Ling pouted and stood beside Qin Ling, and the other female educated youths also echoed.

Seeing this, Qin Hao could only agree to take her along: "You can follow along, but there are three chapters in the contract, you have to keep up with our rhythm, if you can't bear it halfway, no one will send you back."

"Hmph, don't look down on people, I have walked more mountain roads than all of you combined." Qin Ling raised his chin proudly.

In this way, the group of three took simple luggage and set off for the county. At the beginning, everything went smoothly, but as they walked, Ning Yu began to complain.

"What kind of broken road is this? It's so close at hand, but it's such a big opening. It takes a detour of more than ten miles to get here. Grandpa is exhausted."

Qin Hao slapped him angrily: "Don't be ashamed, the lesbians didn't say anything, you are the only one complaining here."

In fact, Qin Ling couldn't bear it any longer. After walking the mountain road for more than [-] miles, no one would be exhausted.

Seeing this, Qin Hao had no choice but to stop: "Then rest here for 10 minutes, eat something and then go on the road."

Ning Yu and Qin Ling were relieved when they heard the words, and they didn't care about getting dirty, so they just sat down on the ground. The main reason is that Qin Hao walks too fast. If he wants to keep up with him, he will consume more energy than walking many.

The two of them took out dry food from their backpacks and were about to eat it when they smelled a tempting aroma. Looking along the scent, they found that Qin Hao was holding half a salted duck in his hand, and his saliva almost dripped on the dry food.

Qin Hao shook his head with a smile, divided the salted salted duck into three, and handed them a portion for each person.

"Brother Xie Hao." Ning Yu and Qin Hao have lived together for a long time, and they are not so polite, so they hugged him and started to chew.

Qin Ling felt a little embarrassed, Qin Hao stuffed it into her hand directly, and said with a smile: "Okay, don't be too polite, eat, let's try to have meat every day in the future, and if we get tired of eating, we will lose weight. It's the life of a man!"

"Pfft..." Qin Ling couldn't help covering his mouth and chuckling: "What are you talking about, is it boring to eat meat? You still eat to lose weight, even if it's not the life of a god."

No wonder Qin Ling didn’t understand. In fact, it can be seen from some old photos that in the 60s, there were basically no fat people in the streets and alleys. During this period, even if a wealthy family could eat enough, there were only people like chefs and buyers. Occasionally, one or two fat people will be born in special occupations.

Qin Hao just smiled and didn't speak, he lowered his head and gnawed on the duck. Qin Ling was also attracted by the aroma of the salted duck, and started to gobble it up. At this time, he didn't care about his manners, the real thing was to eat it in his stomach first.

After eating and drinking enough, the group of three went on the road again and did not arrive at the county seat until dark.

However, since the Educated Youth Office was off work, the three of Qin Hao could only stay in the county's hostel for one night. Fortunately, all three of them brought their Educated Youth Cards with letters of introduction from the village, otherwise they would have to sleep on the streets.

These days, if you want to live in a hostel, you must have a letter of introduction, otherwise you won’t be able to live there if you have money, and the service in the hostel is extremely poor.

Seeing that Qin Hao opened two rooms at once, Qin Ling didn't blink his eyelids when he paid the money, so he couldn't help but look at him twice.

"Then you go to bed early, we're next door, so shout out if you have something to do." Qin Hao also noticed Qin Ling's gaze, but he knew very well that Qin Ling was more curious about him.

"Well, thank you." Qin Ling felt a little embarrassed when he was caught, and entered his room with his head down.

This time Ning Yu slept soundly, took a shower, and fell asleep as soon as he lay down on the bed.

Ning Yu rubbed his eyes until the next morning, when Qin Hao asked him to get up for breakfast.

Qin Ling looked at the breakfast combination of white flour steamed buns + porridge and three big fried dough sticks on the table, and was a little dumbfounded for a while.

"Sister Qinling, why are you staring blankly, eat!"

Ning Yu has just turned 16 years old this year, and Qin Ling is already, so it would be appropriate to call her sister.

After Qin Ling sat down, he didn't move his chopsticks, but said worriedly: "This will cost you too much."

"Hey, what's that? I think we're in the capital, and Brother Mo, Quanjude, and Donglai Shunhao all took us to eat. A few fritters are nothing." Ning Yu was not polite.

Qin Ling shook his head: "But now it's not the same as before, we still need to save some money."

Qin Hao smiled indifferently: "It's not short of breakfast, eat it quickly, we have to go to the educated youth to do it after eating."

Maybe it was because the aroma of deep-fried dough sticks and white flour steamed buns was too enticing, Qin Ling was persuaded, bowed his head and began to drink porridge.

After eating and drinking enough, the three of them checked out the room and went to the Educated Youth Office.
