Two days later, the members of the Standing Committee of the Board of Directors who attended the Hetao meeting left the Hetao base one after another. In the coming period, the Standing Committee members of the Board Committee, as well as some members, will actively prepare.

The members of the Standing Committee of the Board of Directors have also worked out several sets of plans to deal with various situations that may arise in the autumn meeting. Of course, there are worst-case scenarios, but people don't want things to get to this point.

Li Ming did not leave immediately and continued to inspect the Hetao area. For him, returning to the Hetao is still quite touching, after all, this is where he led everyone to do it little by little.

Now that it is the autumn harvest season, the military and civilians in the Hetao base area have been mobilized, and the banks of the Yellow River are full of busy people. The local garrison also put down their work and went down to the fields to help the local people.

The displaced people who were resettled in the Hetao base area were allocated land in several areas, such as the Houtao Plain, the plain on the south bank of the Yellow River, the Sanhuhe Plain, and the Tumut Plain.

The Hetao area is fertile, the Yellow River runs through the entire plain, and there are few tributaries in this area, and the mountain torrent gullies are the main ones, and the water volume is relatively small. The groundwater quality is very good, and the burial is shallow, and it is located in a temperate climate zone, which is high in heat, which is conducive to the production of crops.

Li Ming also drove away the cadres arranged by the base area, and he took two guards and wore the uniforms of ordinary Far Eastern Army to the ordinary peasant households at the grassroots level to help the local people harvest crops.

These days, he traveled west along the Yellow River, constantly inspecting squadrons of newly resettled displaced people. If you want to know how the local people are doing, of course, you have to communicate with them closely.

If you want to fit in, the best way is to help them work, simple people can't stand the help of others, help them do a day's work, they can treat you as a relative. I can leave you at home in the evening and have a good treat.

Anyway, there are officers and men of the Far East Army in the fields everywhere in Hetao, and Li Ming walked at the grassroots level for a few days, but he did not let the leading cadres at the grassroots level see anything.

Zhao Lianhe was naked, and he and the women of the family were busy in his own field. Having completed their mission in the area west of the Ural Mountains, the troops returned to the Hetao area.

It also coincided with the autumn harvest, and the officers and soldiers whose families were stationed at the garrison were given half a month's vacation. Let them go home and help the family with the autumn harvest. He has been gone for two years, and he is full of guilt for his family.

Although their families are military dependents, local cadres and local garrisons take good care of their families. But let the women of the family stay alone in the empty room every day, the taste is really not declining, and the pain is difficult to describe.

A few acres of land at home are planted with corn and potatoes, and some peanuts and soybeans are planted on the land.

When the corn is ripe, the green skin will turn white, and there are heavy corn cobs hanging on the corn stalks, but you should break off these corn cobs as soon as possible in these days, if the corn skin and the water on the stalks is less. It will become less brittle and more tough, and it will be time-consuming and laborious to break the corn cob.

Li Ming was led by the squadron leader to Zhao Lianhe's field, at this time there was no one to see in the corn field, only the corn stalks in the field were constantly shaking, and the crisp sound of breaking corn in the field could be heard when he was close.

"Lao Zhao, come out ......"

Hearing the shouts of the squadron cadres, Zhao Lianhe ran out of the cornfield. first glanced at Li Ming, and then said to the squadron cadres with a smile: "Squadron leader." What's the matter with me? ”

The squadron leader turned around and pointed at Li Ming next to him, and said with a smile: "Lao Zhao, these are comrades from the nearby troops, and they took the initiative to go down to our village to help with the autumn harvest, so I will bring them to your house." ”

When Zhao Lianhe heard this, he hurriedly greeted Li Ming with a smile. Then he said: "Squadron leader, don't ...... No...... When I was not at home, I caused trouble to the village, and now that I am back, this little work at home is only three to five days. ”

"How's that going to work? Your family in our village is a military dependent, if you don't come to your house, who will go to someone's house, this is a rule issued by the detachment, I still have a lot of things, I will leave......"

Zhao Lianhe wanted to say something more, but the squadron leader had already gone without a shadow. He turned his head and said to Li Ming with a smile: "Brother, then I will work hard for you." I don't need you to do anything, just help, yes, come on...... Smoke...... Smoking ......"

In fact, he is a few years younger than Li Ming, but Li Ming is from modern society after all, and he has also paid attention to maintenance over the years, and in the eyes of people in this era, he does look like a person in his twenties.

Moreover, the rank on Li Ming's shoulders is sergeant, and the two guards around him are only senior soldiers. So Zhao Lianhe decided that Li Ming was younger than himself.

He took out a pack of crumpled cigarettes, enthusiastically handed them to Li Ming, and said with a smile: "I haven't bothered you in the past few years, I have been going for two years, if it weren't for the help of the big guys, my family would have a mother-in-law with two babies, and the days may be hard." ”

Li Ming smiled bitterly and took the cigarette and asked Zhao Lianhe to help light it. Then he asked: "Old squad leader, are you from that unit?" ”

"The Northwest Army's newly built Fourth Cavalry Division has just finished fighting white skin from the Great Northwest, and it has only been a few days since it came back."

"Eh, old squad leader, you fought a good battle, I heard that you have run thousands of miles in a month, and even tens of thousands of war horses have been wasted."

When Zhao Lianhe heard this, his face immediately turned red, and in the past few days since he came back, his home was always full of villagers and grassroots cadres. Zhao Lianhe bragged to them a lot, which made the people in the village fascinated.

Looking at everyone's eyes full of envy and admiration, Zhao Lianhe didn't want to mention how happy he was, so he was willing to tell others some of his glorious deeds when he had nothing to do in the past few days.

"Brother, you haven't fought, haha...... As soon as you look at your fine skin and tender meat, you will know that it is from the rear troops. If you like to listen, brother, I'll tell you about it. ”

After he finished speaking, he looked at Li Ming with a smile, looking like you are begging me to tell me. The two guards behind Li Ming were holding back laughter, and their stomachs were about to burst. Li Ming also had a wry smile on his face, and just wanted to say something, but before Li Ming could speak, the other party had already started to speak.

"Brother, you didn't know if you went, this battle was too enjoyable......"

It wasn't until a cigarette was finished that Zhao Lianhe closed his mouth, but he still had some unfinished meaning. Fortunately, he also knew that there were still large areas of crops confiscated in the field, so he took Li Ming and them to work in the field.

Zhao Lianhe originally thought that Li Ming and the others came here to make a show. Who would have thought that Li Ming and the two guards also took off their coats and followed him into the cornfield to get busy. (To be continued.) )
