In the 1960s, a woman dressed as a man and a general came to give birth to a baby

Chapter 142 There are many sweet potatoes in the mountains

Zhang Yu said, "Uncle, this is what I think. These people have no able-bodied men in their families. Just like the lady just now, they will do anything for food. I heard that in some places, they will create a piece of wasteland in the mountains and grow crops like sweet potatoes to make a living."

The captain listened to Zhang Yu's words and felt that this was a bit risky, so he said: "Xiao Yu, it's good that we have the bean dregs you exchanged. We can't afford to take such a risk."

Zhang Yu said this, sighed, and then continued: "Uncle, to be honest, it may be difficult to buy bean dregs in the future."

When the captain heard that the village's life-saving food, bean dregs, was about to run out of stock, he said anxiously, "Xiao Yu, what should we do? If there is no bean dregs, not to mention those who have lost their able-bodied men, even those who still have able-bodied men will starve to death. What should we do? What should we do?"

As he said that, he grabbed Zhang Yu's hand and said, "Xiao Yu, you have to think of a way for the village."

Zhang Yu sighed and said, "Captain, do you need to tell me this? I will definitely not ignore the villagers."

The captain was relieved at this. He asked, "Xiao Yu, what can we do?"

Zhang Yu repeated his story of clearing wasteland in the mountains and planting sweet potatoes and potatoes.

This time, the captain did not object violently. He said, "Will this work? There won't be any problems, will there?"

"Uncle, as long as the whole village participates, everyone in the village will have food to eat. I don't think anyone will dig their own grave in this world."

The team leader thought for a long time and said, "Xiao Yu, if our village does this, there will be no seeds."

Zhang Yu saw that the captain was relenting, so he said, "Captain, since I've said this, I'm prepared. The seed issue will be my responsibility when the time comes."

Hearing this, the team leader slapped his thigh, stamped his feet and said, "Xiao Yu, since you have prepared the seeds, then we in Zhangjia Village will do this. I will call a clan meeting later. Once the elders agree, I will hold a village meeting to discuss this matter at the beginning of the year."

After saying this, Zhang Yu said goodbye.

As a result, he was stopped by the captain, who said: "Xiao Yu, you haven't told me about Shengli's wife yet."

Zhang Yu smiled and said, "Uncle, according to what you said, Shengli's wife is also a strong-willed person. If she can have food just by looking at herself, would she still do this?"

The captain suddenly realized something and said, "Yes, yes, yes, you see, I am getting old and confused."

After saying this, after sending Zhang Yu away, he asked his wife to call Shengli's wife over and talk to her about the matter. As expected, she readily changed her mind and promised to behave herself in the future. If anyone knocked on her door, she would beat that person to death with a hoe.

Not only that, she also provided a list. Although she didn't say it explicitly, the captain knew what was going on at a glance.

So the captain found excuses to call out the people on the list one by one and gave them a scolding. Finally, the captain also specifically mentioned the relationship between men and women, and several people were frightened to death.

After the matter was dealt with, the village elders gathered together that evening. It is said that they discussed the matter all night long, and after returning home, they all looked solemn, except for the team leader who was in high spirits.

On the other hand, when Zhang Yu returned home, he met a thin but energetic-looking man squatting in the main room with a restrained look on his face. Zhang Yu looked at him inquiringly.

It has to be her own wife. Ma Luoying looked at Zhang Yu standing there in a daze and quickly explained: "This is my eldest cousin, Sun Dayou"

Then, Ma Luoying pointed at Zhang Yu and said, "Dayou, this is my boyfriend, Zhang Yu, you can just call him brother-in-law."

After hearing Ma Luoying's introduction, Sun Dayou called him "Brother-in-law" as agreed, and then squatted on the ground awkwardly again.

Zhang Yu looked at Sun Dayou in front of him. If he hadn't said this, he would have thought that this man was in his 40s.

He said, "Dayou, stop squatting, sit down."

"Brother-in-law, I can just squat."

Zhang Yu really couldn't stand the way he looked, so he pulled him up and made him sit on the stool.

Looking at Sun Dayou, who looked even more restrained, Zhang Yu signaled to Ma Luoying with his eyes that this person is really your mother's nephew.

Ma Luoying understood Zhang Yu's meaning at a glance, nodded, and said: "Xiaoyu, Dayou came here mainly to see my mother, but you also know that something happened in my mother's family, so he came to our house."

As she spoke, she pointed to the two boxes next to it and said, "My grandpa and uncles asked Dayou to bring these here."

Zhang Yu took a look at the frame and was delighted. This was really a pillow sent to him when he was dozing off. He had just said that he had contracted the sweet potato seedlings in the village, and now the owner had arrived.

I saw that Sun Dayou’s two baskets were full of sweet potatoes.

Zhang Yu asked, "Dayou, are there a lot of sweet potatoes there?"

Seeing this well-dressed brother-in-law asking himself questions, Sun Dayou nervously replied: "More, more melons, hehe"

Zhang Yu said again: "Of course. Don't be nervous, what else do you have?"

This time, Sun Dayou was silent for a moment and said, "Only sweet potatoes grow a lot. Other mountains don't grow them."

Zhang Yu said happily: "Dayou, are you selling your sweet potato seedlings?"

"Ah~" Hearing Zhang Yu talking about selling sweet potato seedlings, Sun Dayou stood up and shook his hands frantically, saying, "This is not allowed. It's illegal. We dare not do this."

Zhang Yu slapped him on the stool and comforted him, "Dayou, what are you talking about? Brother-in-law will teach you a lesson. Private to private is called speculation and profiteering, which is illegal. This is public to public, which is a normal transaction in the village. Do you understand? It is allowed."

As he spoke, Zhang Yu took out his work ID and said, "Look, I'm the buyer of our county supply and marketing cooperative. Now you can rest assured, right?"

Sun Dayou didn't expect that when he came to his aunt's house, he didn't see his aunt, but only met a few cousins ​​and his cousin's husband's family.

What he didn't expect was that his cousin's boyfriend was actually a purchasing agent of the supply and marketing cooperative, who was paid by the government. For Sun Dayou, a kid who had just left the mountains for the first time, this was the highest-ranking official he had ever seen. Zhang Yu's image instantly became taller. If he returned to the village, this would be enough for him to brag about for half a year.
