Chapter 440 Mysterious Brother

Shaanxi is not suitable for growing rice because it is water shortage, but there is no problem with sweet potatoes and potatoes. After the promotion of corn, the Zhou brothers focused on corn cultivation.

After Zhu Youjian exchanged corn seeds, he distributed the instructions on how to cultivate seedlings. As long as he took it seriously and took good care of it, it would not be difficult to harvest the corn.

On the Loess Plateau, two young people and a large group of farm workers were transplanting corn seedlings. This was the first time they had come into contact with corn seedlings and were very careful when doing things.

Zhou carefully picked up a corn seedling and then gently put it into the digging small soil pit. He was worried that the corn seedlings would be damaged, so he did not dare to use tools. Instead, he gently ripped the soil and buried the roots of the corn seedlings with his hands, and then poured some water on it.

At the age of fifteen, he was very experienced in doing things. His originally white and tender hands were not only black but also rough at this time, which was inconsistent with their own age.

He raised his hand to wipe the sweat off his forehead. Zhou Da looked at his younger brother Zhou Tuesday. He saw that his younger brother was like them and was carefully transplanting corn seedlings one by one. He raised his hand to wipe the sweat off his face. The loess on his hands immediately left a trace on his face.

Zhou Da felt a little sad and relieved. Seeing that everyone else was working hard, Zhou Da got up and walked to his younger brother, and used his sleeves to wipe away the sweat from his childish little face.

"Are you tired of your second brother?"

On Tuesday, I looked up at my brother, and my childish little face showed a mature smile that should not belong to him:

"My younger brother is not tired, my elder brother is right. How can you become a good person if you don't endure hardships? How can you experience the hardships of the people if you don't enter the farm?"

"Hehe, good second brother, he is getting more and more mature. We will never grow up without experiencing this hardship. If you water your seedlings, we will work together. This year will definitely be another bumper year."

So the two brothers cooperated to transplant corn seedlings, and their cooperation was very tacit, and their speed was higher than that of those adults. Some adults accidentally looked up at the Erzhou brothers, and their eyes showed admiration.

At this time, a one-armed middle-aged man came from a distance, following them with more than a dozen farm guards, and the guards were carrying two large buckets of water on their shoulders.

Before he could get into the field, the sound of one-armed man came from afar:

"Big Zhou and Xiao Zhou, after you cultivate the corn seedlings, you can give them to the workers. You don't have to go to the fields to work in person. Everyone rest for a while and come and drink water."

Everyone looked up and looked in the sound, and saw that it was their one-armed farmer who had brought water. The workers put down their work and greeted the farm boss with a smile:

"Thank you, the boss, for personally delivering water to us, making us embarrassed to be lazy in work, hahaha..."

One-armed smile is even more refreshing:

"Hahahaha, you're lazy, I'm really worried that you're tired. Brother Erzhou, you guys are lazy, come and have a tea and rest!"

Don’t think that strict or even unkind management can allow workers to do things well and improve work efficiency. In fact, humanized management can often stimulate workers’ potential and fighting spirit.

The farm leader is at the same level as the county magistrate, but Li Xin has no airs at all. He is completely accused of being with the workers. The workers work like doing things for their own homes, and no one has ever been lazy and sloppy.

On Tuesday, Zhouda and Tuesday, he gradually became a farmer, Li Xin, the farmer.

That is, the real second and third leaders of the farm have actually ranks above the ninth rank, but they never regard themselves as officials.

"Come and drink water quickly, and it will be cold when the water is in."

After joking, Li Xin immediately greeted everyone to drink water.

What they sent was not cold water, but soaked tea, which was grown by the farm itself. Although it was not the best, ordinary people still couldn't afford it.

"Brother Two Zhou, please ask first."

Instead of rushing forward, everyone politely asked the two teenagers to invite them first. The two Zhou brothers smiled and hugged everyone, and then walked to the wooden barrel.

The younger brother first made a bowl of tea for his brother, and then he made another bowl of tea himself.

The water temperature is not hot or cold. The two of them drink the tea in the bowl in one breath. It seems that the appearance and actions are no different from those of ordinary people.

"Gudonggudong..."

After drinking the tea, Zhou Da wiped the tea from his mouth and clasped his fists at Li Xin and said with a smile:

"Mr. Li, now everyone knows how to transplant corn seedlings. We brothers go back first. I wonder what you think?"

Li Xin smiled slightly and reached out to pat Zhou Da on the shoulder:

"Go, this is not the place for you to work. If you want to come, you don't need to ask me for instructions."

"Okay, thank you sir."

After thanking Li Xin, the two brothers trotted away from the farmland hand in hand.

Looking at the two brothers' backs as they walked away, Li Xin gradually restrained his smile and sighed softly:

"What a pity, it's a waste of talent..."

Back at the farm dormitory, the two brothers took out the flintlock rifle, stepped onto the war horse and left the farm, and headed straight for the forest in the distance, where they rode horses and practiced guns.

When they first came to the farm, they knew nothing and could do nothing. Soon they grind their feet and their young hands were covered with calluses, but they gritted their teeth and persevered.

After unremitting efforts and their good understanding, we gradually mastered the seedling cultivation and planting of various crops.

Because the farm lacks knowledgeable managers, they were promoted by Li Xin to be a farm technician, mainly responsible for guiding and assisting workers in scientific farming.

After Li Yan and Hong Niangzi met them when they inspected the farm, Li Yan was completely shocked by the knowledge of these two people.

Li Yan was originally a juren, but these two little guys were even more knowledgeable than Li Yan. Li Yan did not hesitate to promote them to the deputy director of the farm, which was equivalent to a ninth-rank official position.

Hong Niangzi also loved the two very much, so she directly accepted them as apprentices and specially equipped the second Zhou brothers with guns and war horses. At this time, their status on the farm was actually higher than that of Li Xin.

But the two were very modest and low-key, and they still did the same thing as before. They were not only very nice to the workers, but also respected Li Xin as before. They could not see the appearance of the vice-chief from them at all.

They practice marksmanship and riding every morning and evening, and teach workers to read and write when they have time, and become indispensable all-round figures on the farm.

Two war horses galloped away, and the two rode steadily on the war horses, making one or two difficult moves from time to time. At this time, a group of birds flew over their heads, and Zhou Er turned his eyes and shouted:

"Brother, let's have a try."

"Bang……"

A gunshot came, and a bird suddenly fell from mid-air.

On Tuesday, I urged my horse to pick up the flying birds. I was about to show off with my brother, but suddenly another gun came:

"Brother, look..."

"Bang……"

As the gunshots rang out, another bird fell before the horse on Tuesday, and immediately raised his hand to admit defeat on Tuesday:

"Brother, you're more skilled in shooting."

Zhou Da didn't think so, and he was still encouraging his younger brother.

"Where, we have similar shooting skills, we just shot a bird."

"Brother, don't comfort me. The flying bird has turned into a frightened bird amid my gunshots. The difficulty of your hit will definitely be higher."
