Chapter 7 Fighting the Poor with Diligence
In my memory, the wheat here has a production capacity of 300 catties per mu, which is very good, and if there are 400 catties, it will definitely be a bumper harvest.
No matter how bad it is, they can collect 200 catties, anyway, their family doesn't have much land, a total of five acres, and it can't be much, so it's better to do something else.
After He Dayou heard this, he frowned.
He was taught to farm well from an early age, and he wanted to live in the fields all day. Now his daughter wants him to do something else, how can this be done?
If you don't say that he won't, even if he will, then you can't give up your duty to farm.
"Dad, the crops in this field, it grows like this, fertilizing and releasing water, this is all right, weeding and insect control, it is also indispensable, but it is enough to go and see it once every two days. ”
He Jingjing didn't wait for He Dayou to refute, so she continued to persuade, and she didn't let He Dayou just leave the work in the field.
He Dayou still frowned, "Then who will I go to help? In this village, there are not many people to build houses, and now is not the time to be busy with farming." ”
"Dad, don't worry, look for it, there will always be. This village doesn't, maybe a neighboring village does. In short, let's relax first, live every day in a down-to-earth manner, and the money will always be saved slowly. He Jingjing didn't know what work He Dayou could do, she just wanted He Dayou to let go of the idea of marrying his daughter first.
He Dayou nodded and said in a deep voice: "If it really doesn't work, I'll go and chop firewood and sell it." The people in the city also want to burn firewood, and they should be able to sell it for some money. ”
Zhao looked at He Dayou and said in a low voice: "It's night, let's go to sleep first." ”
It's not a matter of lighting candles, they don't have so many candles at home.
This night, He Jingjing couldn't sleep.
Crossing has become a fact, and now you can't go back to your original world, the only thing you can do is to find a way to make this family rich, so that you can control your own destiny. Otherwise, even if she doesn't marry Niu Dahu, she will marry other hooligans and ruffians in the future.
"How can I make money?" He Jingjing's mind kept thinking about various possibilities.
She has many ideas, but in this poor and backward era, many methods do not work.
In the end, she was in a daze and had some ideas, but she was too sleepy to do so, so she fell into a deep sleep.
The next day, He Xiaoxiao woke up He Jingjing, they had to go to pick some wild vegetables early, and then they could make breakfast for the family when they turned back.
When He Jingjing heard this, she had to get up and look at the sky outside the window, it was gray and not completely bright.
Glancing at He Xiaoxiao, who was already fully dressed, He Jingjing couldn't help but sigh, the poor child was in charge of the house early, and the second sister was only twelve years old.
Awkwardly put on the long skirt, He Jingjing wanted to complain about this dress, it seems that all women in this era wear skirts. To be honest, it is very inconvenient to work in a skirt, but no woman has ever raised an objection, and He Jingjing does not dare to rashly provoke the trend of this era.
"Sister, hurry up. If it's any later, it won't be a good position. He Xiaoxiao pushed open the door and saw that He Jingjing was still wearing shoes, so she hurriedly urged.
He Jingjing put on her shoes, "Come on, you go first, I'll catch up soon." ”
In my memory, there were many girls in the village, and they all went to the foot of the mountain early in the morning to dig wild vegetables. Most people don't eat wild vegetables, and they dig up these wild vegetables for poultry and livestock. The He family is relatively shabby, so they eat wild vegetables.
Because of this, He Xiaoxiao was laughed at by the girls in the village, so every time she went to dig wild vegetables early, and when other girls went, she had already dug and went home.
The two sisters left the He family in a hurry and ran to the foot of a mountain south of the village, looking for edible wild vegetables.
After this search, He Jingjing immediately found some very good wild vegetables. This season, grey grey cabbage grows best and is also the wild vegetable that most people dig up the most.
However, in addition to this gray cabbage, there are many wild vegetables that the people in the village do not know very well, so they are just treated as weeds here, and no one wants to pick them.
"On the third day of March, shepherd's cabbage becomes a elixir. He Jingjing's eyes lit up, and she smiled as she looked at the patches of shepherd's cabbage.
