A teenager around the age of 11 or 12 had no lack of energy and passion, especially in this age. Whether it was an adult or a child, they all had the courage to fight with the earth and the sky. However, the passion of a teenager lacked durability. If it was just a boring exploration, Long Zaitian could imagine that after two or three days, their " volunteer army " would be liberated!
Long Zaitian had a way…
"This is it." Long Zaitian brought the 'warriors' of the volunteer army to the position he had chosen earlier and pointed at Gao Gang in front of him."Let's build our base here!”
"Building a base?" The little companions were shocked by Long Zai Tian's suggestion. They were puzzled and their interest became even stronger. They all began to chatter and discuss.
"Yes, to build our volunteer army base, we must first build barracks!”Long Zaitian pointed to the high slope and said," The early stage of the revolution is tough, so our barracks will adopt the method of the great revolutionary base Yan 'an, which is to dig caves!”Very good, very provocative. Yan 'an's way, affirmation of the revolutionary nature. After that, the children loved to drill caves. Long Zai Tian's small idea had aroused the enthusiasm of the entire team.
"Alright, since we've said so much, let's get started. However, this place is saline-alkalized land, so our cave dwelling doesn't need to be excavated like other people. We can only modify it. Now, I'll start assigning tasks: Construction. You'll bring seven or eight of your companions to chop down some big trees and branches. Sister Hui 'er took a few people to cut some reeds in the reed pond, so that they could be used to build roofs in the future. The last remaining people will listen to my command.”Long Zai Tian said to everyone.
Under Long Zai Tian's lead, the remaining ten or so people began to dig pits on the sunny side of the high slope, using earth and stone as walls. After more than an hour, they dug five high shed foundations that were about 50 square meters. Then, they used the chopped tree trunks as supports. After setting up the frames, they spread the bundles of reed stems that Long Hui 'er and her men had cut back on them. They then filled the gaps with mud and finally pressed them with thick soil. It took nearly half a day to build three " barracks."
"We don't have many people now. Let's build these five houses first and go home for dinner. In the afternoon, we will level the large piece of land in front of the barracks as the training field for our volunteer army. With our investment, I believe that we will have all kinds of training facilities.”Long Zai Tian gave his friends another big cake.
In the next few days, everyone tidied up the barracks and leveled the field. Everyone was really busy. Soon, this small plot of land became something. Everyone looked at the results of their own labor and was extremely excited.
"Uncle Xiaotian, didn't you say that you want to reclaim our experimental fields?”Long Jianshe asked Long Zaitian in excitement. He thought Long Zaitian had forgotten his original intention after playing the barracks game.
"Yes, we do have to reclaim the wasteland, but we're a volunteer army. We should focus on the military and supplement it with military reclamation.”Long Zai Tian was doing this as a form of publicity.
With the vigorous construction of the volunteer army, it quickly attracted the attention of the young people in the village and the nearby villages. Who would not want to participate in such an interesting and revolutionary operation?
But this time, Long Zaitian was not as unapproachable as when he first organized the organization. He wanted to take the assessment. The assessment method was to burn out an area of about 50 to 60 acres in the east of the barracks. Those who wanted to join the volunteer army had to clear out a piece of land first.
"Haha! The commander has a way. In this way, we veterans can have a large experimental field without moving!”After hearing what Long Zaitian said, they were all extremely impressed.
"Dream on. Veterans also need to be flat. From now on, leveling the land will be a basic task that is second only to training and combat missions. Every day, we have to take three to four hours to manage our experimental fields. Now, we have to go home to eat. I plan that in half a year, which is the second half of September, our volunteer army's rations must be self-sufficient.”Long Zaitian had shattered everyone's beautiful dream.
"What are you guys playing?" The villagers didn't notice it at first, but when the team expanded to more than 50 people, the adults finally noticed it because the village had been really quiet for the past ten days.
"We can play whatever we want. It's fine with Xiaotian around. Besides, it was better than causing trouble in his village.”The adults discussed among themselves.
The " volunteer army " had gradually taken shape. After all, they had to open up wasteland and train. Moreover, the 60-odd mu of land had been leveled by everyone, so Long Zai Tian did not ask everyone to continue the reclamation plan. The experimental fields were also placed in front of everyone.
"Uncle Xiaotian, what should we plant in our experimental plot? In the past, some people had planted corn and some people had planted sorghums, but the harvest was not enough!”Long Jianshe asked Long Zaitian as he looked at the flat experimental field. This kid and his friends had boasted at home that they would be self-sufficient in half a year. At this critical moment, they still didn't know what to plant. They were really a little worried because their father had said it before: "You brats can grow crops on this saline-alkalized land? It's already not bad if you can grow a seedling."
"Let's plant rice. I've already prepared the rice!”Long Zai Tian said confidently.
The most important thing in planting rice was the early management. In that time and space, the wet seedlings had been replaced by dry seedlings. Although Long Zaitian didn't know how to cook, he still remembered the steps. Under his command, he quickly made four two-meter-long seedlings. After that, they would soak the rice seeds to raise the sprouts, refine the seedlings, spread the nutrient soil, and spray the insect-resistant pesticide. These were all similar to the current seedling raising operation. Finally, they would plant the seedlings, cover the well, and cover the platform seedlings. And all of this, Long Zaitian became the commander, commanding everyone to operate. When Gong Shangming covered the plastic bottle, he was in the mood to directly pull the horse and it was over.
There was still a lot of time to go from sowing to transplanting. Anyway, the land had been leveled. When the time came, they just needed to irrigate and transplant the seedlings. Hence, in order to cover his abnormal behavior, Long Zai Tian began to train his " troops ".
