Chapter 151 A Real Difficult Situation

"You three islands are so selfless! This vegetable cultivation technology is a lifesaver for our islands, it's absolutely crucial!"

Shi Xia turned her head and received a nod from Chief Wei.

"As a resident of an island, I know all too well the difficulties of growing vegetables on an island. To improve the seeds of water spinach, our entire village worked together, day and night, just to research a vegetable that could be grown in freshwater. In fact, we had already figured it out before the strong winds, but unfortunately..."

"However, we are not afraid of difficulties. Every difficulty makes us stronger. No matter what winds come from all directions, we will remain steadfast. We will start from scratch, without fear or apprehension. As long as the islanders and soldiers can have this vegetable, it will all be worth it."

Chief Wei was so moved he was almost in tears, his face filled with gratitude.

Director Lin looked left and right, then suppressed a smile with decades of perseverance.

If Shi Xia hadn't traded "rice collected from three islands" for bricks before, he might have believed it.

"Comrade Shi Xia, you are truly the most selfless and dedicated comrade I have ever met!"

Director Lin joined.

At the meeting room door, the three men began complimenting each other.

A few minutes later, Director Lin decided to go to Haisan Island in person to see the water spinach being grown. Once he saw the finished product, he and Chief Wei would report Haisan Island to the authorities, and they were sure to win the honor.

The three of them walked out of the factory, and Shi Xia suddenly stopped.

"what happened?"

Director Lin turned around, and Chief Wei suddenly realized that he had forgotten something.

Shi Xia smiled sheepishly.

"I forgot to mention the important matter."

Wasn't that important business just now?

Director Lin is muddle-headed; solving the vegetable problem is the most important thing to him.

"That's a big deal, but there's another important matter. Let's go to the port first, and I'll tell you about it."

Factory Director Lin nodded and followed Shi Xia.

I took a few steps and then stopped.

"You picked up ten boats?"

"Correct."

"Picked it up?"

"Yeah, the sea is so big, what's wrong with retrieving a boat?"

what happened?
Who would be so foolish as to leave their boat at sea?

"Yeah, Comrade Shi Xia was a bit luckier, is that so wrong?"

Chief Wei stood beside him with a look of agreement, watching Lin's father with Shi Xia.

Lin's father wasn't stupid; this was a case of "picking up" someone who had already passed through a famous place.

"That's great, I just envy people who are lucky."

Lin's father accepted it calmly.

"Shi Xia, the sea is so vast, do you think we could find something like a production line?"

Chief Wei tilted his head: You old Lin, even a monkey can't climb up a pole as fast as you.

Shi Xia chuckled softly.

"That depends on luck."

"Yes, yes, it depends on luck. If you see it someday, just pick it up."

"it is good."

The two talked as if no one else was around, and soon they arrived at the port.

The port was crowded at this time.

"Ten ships? Where did they come from?"

"I don't know, the characters on it don't look like they're from China."

"It's alright. Didn't the patrol boat just say that these are coming through legally, not illegally?"

"This big ship is wonderful!"

"My family's small fishing boat is gone. If only we had a big boat."

"Come on, those big fishing boats belong to the village, work units, and collectives. What does it have to do with you personally?" Lin's father saw ten boats.

That's a great find!

The ship has been spotted; it's time to get things done.

Lin's father once again acted as a middleman, taking Shi Xia to the county leader's office.

Chief Wei did not go with them; he was not allowed to interfere with land management. He had just gone to visit his comrades, so the nature of the visit was different.

County Leaders' Office.

The county leaders looked at Shi Xia.

"You've collected ten boats; you need to hand them in."

"Yes, I'm a fisherman too, and I know all too well that a group isn't limited by large fishing boats. I was thinking that if ten boats were distributed among ten groups, that could also solve the problem of self-sufficiency for some of the groups."

Shi Xia spoke simply, and the county leaders understood, realizing that the fishing boat couldn't have been found.

“County leaders, this is not the first time I’ve picked up a boat; this is the third time.”

"What a blessing."

The county leader smiled, recalling the information about Comrade Shi Xia from before.

That long list of honors is very eye-catching.

"Comrade Shi Xia, are you sure we don't need to look for the owner?"

"I don't think so. I found the foreign ship in our own waters."

Do I still need to pay it back?

Nobody wants to pay it back, mainly because they're afraid of trouble from the other party, like international disputes.

But then I thought, you've already come to our house for a stroll, we're in the right, what are we afraid of!
I picked it up!

"Comrade Shi Xia, on behalf of all the people of the county, I thank Hai Sandao for...good luck and hard work."

In short, the matter is settled, and the credit goes to Hai Sandao.

Ever since Shi Xia learned that the researchers at the research institute all thought that Shan Yuancheng was too smart to teach him, she wanted to turn Hai San Island into a fortress.

A fortress that is both red and expert, the kind of place where one's name can be hung, an existence that no one can touch.

She ambitiously wanted to transform the three islands into a vast paradise, and her backyard was the expansive sea.

Shi Xia left the county leaders' office, and then Lin's father mentioned hydroponic vegetables, something that would benefit the country and the people and add to the county leaders' achievements, so the county leaders also wanted to go.

And so, the group went to the port together and boarded the ship.

At the same time, the boatmen who came along took over ten fishing boats.

While Shi Xia was dealing with matters, Cao Ping and the others had already sold all the fish they had caught. In addition to the fish from the ten ships, the harbor's fish storage area was soon full.

There's absolutely no problem with everyone in the county having enough fish to eat, or rather, that's more than enough. We should start thinking about how to make salted fish.

The intervention of Hai Sandao directly resolved the temporary difficulty of the lack of meat on the mainland.

The fishing boats from Hai San Island returned to Hai San Island, and Chief Wei followed them, along with Political Commissar Li and Battalion Commander Cheng.

A large group of people arrived at Hai San Island.

Uncle Cao on the island already knew someone was coming because Little Eagle had returned with a message. He quickly hid the cement and, upon seeing a group of leaders arrive, pretended to be panicked and uneasy.

Shi Xia secretly gave a thumbs up: Great acting skills!

Uncle Cao: Thank you for your guidance!
After a brief exchange of glances, Uncle Cao led a group of people to see where the water spinach was grown.

Based on Shi Xia's assessment, when they resumed production, the vegetable they planted most often was water spinach.

When a group of leaders saw the lush green water spinach fields, they felt healed by the greenery.

When they walked in and saw that there was really no soil at all, and it was all grown in fresh water, they were filled with excitement.

"Comrade Cao, how did you manage to cultivate this successfully?"

Uncle Cao thought hard for a while.

Dig a hole, lay down waterproof material, lay down woven mesh grass, scatter seeds, and let it grow wild.

It's all done!
As for how it succeeded, he really didn't know, because the seed just grew by itself after being thrown in.

However, the cunning Uncle Cao would never say that.

"This stuff is so hard to grow!"
