Chapter 466: Growth and Progress of Team Members
Ye Wan's educational program, like a seed, quietly took root and sprouted within the family. Gradually, the entire team began to become more proactive, especially the adults. No longer content with simply maintaining their current lives, they aspired to become more capable and valuable members through continuous learning and self-improvement. This transformation stemmed not only from Ye Wan's meticulous guidance but also from her unwavering belief that only through education and self-improvement could the team advance further and the family prosper.
Daily life at the homestead gradually became busy and productive. Team members began to learn new skills, some practical and essential, others long-held interests and dreams. Everyone found their own path to growth, and they noticed a significant improvement in their quality of life and self-confidence as they continued to learn.
"This planting class is very important, everyone must listen carefully." Ye Wan stood in front of the simple classroom and looked at the team members with a smile.
Today's class focused on "How to Grow Efficient Crops." As a core component of our homestead, cultivating the land and ensuring food self-sufficiency are crucial to everyone's survival. For those team members who haven't received formal education, this knowledge may be unfamiliar, but precisely because of this, each of Ye Wan's classes is particularly important.
Some of the older members of the team, such as Mr. Zhang, who is over 50 years old, were able to farm in their early years, but due to the unique environment of their home, they were unfamiliar with modern planting techniques. Young Shuisheng was also somewhat uneasy because, despite his youth, he grew up in the city and had almost no agricultural experience.
"Sister Ye Wan, how do we use what we learned today? The crops we planted before never grew well. Can today's technology help?" Shuisheng asked, raising his hand a little nervously.
Ye Wan smiled and nodded. "We'll explain this method clearly in theory, and then you can try it yourself. The key to planting is understanding the needs of the crop and how it works with the land. We can't plant blindly. We first need to understand the soil's pH and fertility, and then choose the right seeds."
As she explained, she pulled out several bottles containing different types of fertilizers and soil samples. "You see, the fertilizer ratio can be adjusted according to the needs of the soil. Crop growth doesn't happen overnight; we need patience and care," she said.
Her words were persuasive, slowly dispelling Shuisheng's doubts. The other members also began to listen attentively, their uneasiness about farming gradually dissipating. They began to understand that with sufficient knowledge and skills, agriculture is no longer simply manual labor, but a highly technical and creative endeavor.
A few days later, everyone finally began the actual work outside the training grounds. Busy figures could be seen beside each plot of land. Wearing straw hats and armed with shovels and spades, they began preparing the soil and planting seeds according to Ye Wan's instructions. Uncle Zhang and Shuisheng worked together with remarkable rapport. Together, they measured the soil's pH and fertilizer ratios, not only following the planting instructions but also reminding each other of the details.
"Shuisheng, the soil here is better than that over there. We need to add more organic fertilizer." Uncle Zhang pointed to a piece of land calmly with a confident look.
"I understand, Uncle Zhang." Shuisheng answered seriously. It was obvious that he was no longer the newcomer who knew nothing about agriculture.
After a period of learning and practice, everyone gradually mastered basic planting techniques, and the vegetables and grains they grew showed significant improvement. The initial feelings of discomfort, hesitation, and fear of failure gradually transformed into a love for the land and pride in their work.
In addition to agricultural skills, Ye Wan also arranged other courses for the team. She placed particular emphasis on promoting medical knowledge, as she knew that in such a relatively closed environment, if illness or emergencies occurred, the lack of basic medical care would put the entire team in a difficult situation.
So she invited Dr. Li, who previously worked at a city hospital, to conduct a series of training sessions on simple first aid and basic medical knowledge. Dr. Li's humorous and accessible lectures helped the team members, who had never been exposed to modern medical knowledge, gradually master how to treat wounds, identify disease symptoms, and use simple medicines and herbal remedies for initial treatment.
"If this wound isn't cleaned promptly, it could become inflamed," Dr. Li explained while working with the first aid kit. "So, cleaning is very important. You can use alcohol instead of the disinfectant here; it's quite effective."
The team members listened and took notes attentively. Several older members, who usually worry about health issues, especially minor ailments and pains that they often fail to address in a timely manner, found this class very useful.
"Doctor Li, can you teach me how to fix a fracture?" asked Brother Zhao, who was in his thirties.
Dr. Li nodded and patiently explained a simple fracture fixation method, demonstrating on the spot how to use a wooden stick and bandages. This technique gave the team members a stronger sense of security. They all expressed that if injuries occurred again, they could handle it on their own for a while until medical resources arrived.
Driven by these courses, team members not only gained a wealth of knowledge, but also gained the confidence and motivation to "I can do it." In their previous lives, they may have been accustomed to relying on others and external help, but now they have learned to be self-sufficient and find reliance and support in their own team.
More importantly, this learning atmosphere has strengthened team cohesion. We are no longer just collaborating partners, but friends who trust each other and strive for common progress. Every evening, when we gather around the campfire to share the day's gains and experiences, the harmony and warmth permeate the air, like an invisible force, giving everyone a deep sense of belonging.
"I'm very happy with everyone's progress during this period," Ye Wan said, watching the busy team members from the sidelines, her eyes filled with satisfaction. "Whether it's agricultural skills or medical knowledge, everyone is becoming stronger bit by bit. I believe that our homeland will be even better in the future."
Xie Linchuan walked over to her and whispered, "You've not only brought knowledge to everyone, but also brought change." He looked at Ye Wan with eyes full of respect and love, "You are the soul of our home."
Ye Wan smiled, patted the back of Xie Linchuan's hand, and said firmly: "Let's work together, not only for today, but also for a better tomorrow."
