Chapter 82 The days of hunger are gone
When Kong Yingda explained in detail how he used a quill pen to bet on the ins and outs of the competition with Master Li Gang, Wu Puguang and Wang Yan couldn't help but smile dumbly and sighed at the same time.
The ears of rice have begun to turn yellow and become fuller, indicating that the rice harvest season is about to come.
Lin Ran sat on the top of the field, looking up and squinting at the fiery sun overhead.
I picked an ear of rice and kneaded it vigorously, and soon the milky white rice grains appeared.
Lin Ran threw it into his mouth and chewed vigorously.
Soon, the mouth was full of a faint smell of rice.
As long as there are a few days of fine weather, the rice can be harvested completely.
I finally completed the harvest of rice before the arrival of the locust plague, which has to be said to be an extremely lucky thing.
Of course, all thanks to his mastery of history and the control of the ripening time of rice, with the blessing of the right time, place and people, he has completed an almost impossible thing.
At present, there is an extremely important problem that Lin Ran needs to solve!
That is, these rice ears are ripe, and even if they are sown and transplanted, they will not yield much.
Then Lin Ran, a forestry expert, was needed to cross-breed rice, so Lin Ran deservedly became the pioneer of hybrid rice research.
On the day of the rice harvest, the whole village came, and the villagers looked at the heavy ears of rice, and their faces were full of shock and shock.
"Village Chief Lin, this ······ How could this rice ear grain be so full that even the rice seedlings were bent over? ”
Lin Zhengliang asked excitedly.
"Uncle Zhengliang, this is a variety that the younger generation has improved by himself, I didn't expect it to be successful, the nephew is purely by mistake, next year the nephew will continue to improve the rice seeds, and the days of hunger in our Linjia Village will be gone from now on."
Lin Ran looked around at the fiery eyes of the villagers and replied.
The villagers finally understood why Lin Ran would pay such a high rent to rent all the land in the village.
Such a high output is where he has the confidence to rent land at a high price.
"Village Chief Lin, just now you said that the days of starvation in Linjia Village in the future are gone, could it be that in the future, in addition to collecting the rent of the land, we will also have rice to eat?"
Tie Dan's words resounded in the crowd, and they also represented the doubts of the villagers.
Yes, now the land of the entire Linjia Village is in Lin Ran's hands, and he gives the villagers a high rent every year, why should he give the grain to the big guys?
In the end, the villagers were not allowed to use the rent he gave to buy his rice again.
"Brother Tiedan, you're right, not only will I still settle the previous rent and wages to everyone, but from today's harvest, every household in our Linjia Village will have a bucket of rice every ten days. Everyone can come directly to the camp to receive it, no matter what sky-high price the grain is sold outside, this rule will never be changed in the future, and if it is changed, it will be increased on the basis of one bucket. ”
Lin Ran watched everyone respond loudly.
All the villagers at the scene were stunned by Lin Ran's words.
This kind of surprise came too suddenly, so that every family could receive nearly four stones of rice from Lin Ran every year, which was equivalent to their entire output when the year was bad.
Everyone looked at Lin Ran with an incredible look, and the young man in front of them had brought them too many surprises.
Nowadays, their children can read and write, and sometimes they go home and teach their parents how to write their names, and when happiness ripples on the faces of every child, the hearts of adults are also warm and sweet.
"Village chief, why are you so kind to us?"
Aunt Osmanthus in the east of the village mustered up the courage to ask.
"Aunt Osmanthus, the younger generation remembers that at dusk in early spring, I went to the back mountain to collect medicine and was bitten by a poisonous snake and fell off the cliff, but you and Uncle Zhengguo came to save me together. Compared with the life-saving grace of the villagers, what do I count as these rice, not to mention that this is what I should do. Now I am the head of this Linjia Village, as long as I am still in Linjia Village for a day, I must not watch the villagers go hungry. ”
Lin Ran's impassioned words sounded in the sky above the rice fields, bringing tears to the eyes of the villagers.
Linjia Village is about to usher in the most glorious moment, because of the existence of this young man in front of him, it will not be long before Linjia Village will become the existence that nearby villages look up to.
"Village Chief Lin, let's take a task, how to harvest rice? I'm still waiting for the decimeter. ”
Aunt Osmanthus said with tears in her eyes.
provoked everyone to smile but wipe their tears.
"Okay, next task. Start harvesting ······ today"
With Lin Ran's order, handfuls of rice seedlings were uprooted by the villagers, because Lin Ran had explained that the rice seedlings were still very useful, so the villagers were very careful and careful.
Sun looked at today's scene with a big belly and joy, and she was deeply proud of her son.
A grateful child is exactly what she wants to see.
What's the use of having more money and food, if you lose the most basic family and human affection, you will lack a taste in the world.
"Little one, you were blessed when you were born, because you have such an excellent big brother." Sun stroked his bulging belly and whispered.
"Mother, didn't you say that you won't be allowed to go to the ground? Wouldn't it be nice to let your younger siblings work in the fields before they were born? ”
Lin Ran walked up to Sun's side and said with a smile.
"Stinky boy, if my mother didn't come, how could I hear what you said just now, it's my mother's good son, and I didn't disappoint my mother······"
Sun reached out and pulled Lin Ran into his arms, and was about to open his hands to hold it.
"Mother, so many people are watching? Besides, I've grown up, and now I'm also a village chief, so you have to keep a low profile in front of the villagers······"
Lin Ran looked at his happy mother and said solemnly.
"Stinky boy, no matter how old you are, you are also my son, it is a natural thing for me to hug my son, and the little kid still knows that he is shy······ Okay, mom knows. The head of the small village of Linjia Village ······"
Sun tapped his finger vigorously on Lin Ran's forehead, and said with a smile.
Later that day, the villagers received fresh rice at the camp.
At night, over the entire Lin family, curling cooking smoke rose one after another over the Lin family village.
This is a phenomenon that has not occurred for a long time, and now that there is rice, adults are willing to grab more handfuls into the pot·····
On this night, every household in Linjia Village tasted the taste of new rice.
I don't know how many villagers' tears are mixed with that sweet smell······
Tears of emotion and happiness slid down his cheeks and fell into the steaming grains of rice······
