I Wore It Back After 60 Years

Chapter 83 Raising Sweet Potato Seedlings
"Big Venus? Little Venus? It's a good name. It sounds as good as my name. It twinkles and sparkles."

The price of the stationery is also very cheap, eight cents a cent, and she bought a dollar of stationery and a bottle of blue ink for ten cents.

At the post office, envelopes are even cheaper, eleven per cent.

The prices in the 60s are really low!

After Li Xingxing finished with emotion, he wrote a letter to Chen Goudan at his desk, expressing his central idea simply and rudely: "I have received the parcel letter that I sent, and I am not short of money and things. Wait for Maotai!"

Li Xiuhong laughed when she saw it.

"You are so direct."

"His words are so ugly, and his education level must be average. I'm worried that I write too implicitly, and he can't understand it." Li Xingxing couldn't help but despise Chen Goudan's bad words, which were completely elementary school chickens.

She is different. Although she is young, she has practiced good calligraphy under the strict teaching of her grandfather.

Finish writing the letter to Chen Goudan in traditional Chinese, seal it, affix a stamp, and hand it over to the staff.

Surface mail is eight cents, registered mail is twenty-eight cents.

I wrote a registered letter to Chen Nian'en before, but now I send it to Chen Goudan by surface mail.

It is clear at a glance that the treatment received by the father and son is high and low.

The commune’s materials are limited, and the building is simple, so it’s not easy to cheat. Li Xingxing couldn’t use food to supplement his family. On the supplies, they entered the village covertly, and quickly unloaded them to their homes.

After returning the mule cart, the brigade will not allow villagers to borrow the mule cart.

Because, the whole village started the labor of raising sweet potato seedlings.

It also means that the spring ploughing has begun.

The focus of their Dalizi Village is on spring sweet potatoes. The growth cycle of sweet potatoes takes 160 to [-] days. If they are planted after Qingming, they will have to raise seedlings in February and harvest in October.

Month, referring to the Gregorian calendar.

According to the lunar calendar, it is now the beginning of spring.

The ninth day of the lunar calendar is the beginning of spring, and after the beginning of spring is spring.

But the weather is still extremely cold, the cotton-padded coat is not taken off, and the seedlings will freeze to death when raising seedlings in the open air. They first make a seedling kang, and then carefully select the sweet potato seeds, in order to prevent the warm and cold, and even the old people who are too old to do heavy work prepare vines Strips, weave grass felts, build a shed on the nursery kang, open it when the sun comes out, and cover it when the sun goes down.

It takes a hundred catties of sweet potato seeds per mu of land, which is not a small project. In order to earn work points and for the next year's rations, men, women, young and old go into battle, and no one is lazy.

Furthermore, every household has to raise seedlings for their own plots!
Li Xingxing is very knowledgeable and admires the wisdom of the working people.

Everyone is busy, and Li Xingxing is particularly conspicuous when she is idle. She is a little embarrassed to bring the little radish heads to the eyes, talk to her family, and use the name of visiting friends before she has a chance to enter the city.

However, she has no means of transportation.

There are no mules and no bicycles.

Li Dazhu is very busy. The land of Dalizi Village is distributed in the southeast, northwest and northwest, and there are ten production teams. Although the production team leader and the accountant supervise the labor of the members under him, Li Dazhu is still worried. He rides a bicycle to check it every day. As they sow seeds, set up tents, and turn over the ground on time, they can't be sloppy in every link.

The poor harvest of one production team is the misfortune of the whole team. Li Dazhu never dared to take it lightly.
