At lunchtime, Lin Changyuan told everyone about what he saw and heard outside this trip, "Dad, don't you know, there are people in Yangma Town who say that the potatoes grown in our village are planted, and some people are planting them, and now they have all been planted, just waiting for the harvest in the wax moon." ”

The potatoes in Tongxin Village have also been planted, and seeing the benefits of potatoes, everyone has planted a lot this quarter, anyway, some soil is to be idle in winter, just to plant potatoes.

Siqi took a bite of shredded potatoes and tilted her head to listen to Lin Changyuan's words, she didn't expect it to spread so far, Yangma Town is quite far away from Wanhe Town.

Lin Dezheng was also quite curious, "How did that get through?" We haven't been planting here for long, where do they get the seeds? ”

"Speaking of which, it still came out of our village, I asked carefully, didn't many people come to the door to beg for food before? Some people in our village were soft-hearted, so they gave it to their relatives, and said that this thing could be planted, so that they could save some if they could, and if they planted it in September, they could harvest it again in the lunar month. ”

"Later, the grain was harvested, and the family was not so short of food, and those people came to the door again, all of them were relatives, so they could naturally take some, and there were relatives in the family, so it was passed around, and it also arrived in Yangma Town, and there were only two families in total, not many."

Lin Dezheng nodded, "This is good, if every household is planted, even if it is in the years of famine, there will not be much shortage of food, at least there will be no starvation to death, we can be regarded as doing a good deed." ”

The people of the Lin family are not selfish, as long as their family is okay, they also have the ability, and they are willing to help others.

Lin Changfu said, "Although there are not many people planting now, there will be more in a few years, and now everyone doesn't have many seeds, even if they want to help others, they can't do it. ”

Speaking of this, Lin Changfu said again, "I saw that Gu Pingyong's family still planted it, it should be a seed given by Second Uncle Gu's family." ”

Lin Dezheng nodded, "I know about this, your second uncle Gu told me, it's nothing, as long as he doesn't come to our family's trouble, he can do whatever he wants, our family's seeds were originally meant to be given to the villagers, and he is also from Tongxin Village, and we will give it when he came to ask for it." ”

Lin Dezheng took a sip of wine, "It's just that the longevity fruit didn't give it to him, and I knew that he didn't want to sell it to our family, so I didn't give it." ”

Lin Changyuan said on the side, "With his temperament, he can find it in the future, and he always feels that he has to go against us." ”

Wu said, "We are not afraid of shadows, we can take as much as we can from the villagers, and we will not let everyone suffer, so that people still have to follow him, then we can't do it, we can't manage so much, let's eat quickly, the dishes are going to be cold." ”

During this time, there was no farm work to be done in the family, so the family began to raise sheep again, and there was not much grass on the hills, and many of them withered, and the children had to change places to herd the sheep, otherwise the sheep would not be full.

Zichen also followed the sheep, he smiled and said, "Sister, if only we could put the sheep on the mountain to eat, the whole mountain can be eaten casually, don't care, we can do something else." ”

Siqi smiled and said, "You think well, this mountain is not our family's, if our family can do this." ”

Zichen tilted his head, and there was another question, "Then why don't our family buy a mountain?" ”

Even Siqi is also ambitious, and he was amused by his younger brother's words at this time, and said with a smile, "You think far ahead, and buy a mountain, it is very rare for our family to buy a few acres of land." ”

"Then why is it difficult?"

Zichen is now at this age, it is the time to be curious about everything, as long as there is something you don't understand, you have to open your mouth to ask, if you are impatient with him, you will be asked irritably.

In the past, Siqi didn't like children, I thought children were annoying, they couldn't do anything, and if they were unsatisfactory, they would only cry and coax, how could they be so tossed.

But after arriving here, with younger siblings, she suddenly felt that it was fun to coax children.

"Because the land is very precious, everyone wants it, so it is easy to buy, and the same is true for the mountain, if we want to buy it, we have to nod the yamen, it is not so easy to buy, and how much silver does a mountain get, I can't afford it if I think about it."

Siqi held her cheeks, looked at the opposite mountain and sighed, this idea is not only Zichen, she has thought about it before, Lin Changqing also sent sunflower seeds back from the south, this is a big profit.

In this era, there are no melon seeds, if they can buy a mountain and plant sunflowers, how much money will their family have to earn?

It's like silver falling from the sky, but it's not so easy to do, think about it.

Before, the family wanted to buy the weir pond in the village, and they went to the county seat to trust the relationship, if it wasn't for the help of Li Zhutou, it is estimated that they would not be able to buy it.

The imperial court sometimes allowed the common people to open up wasteland by themselves, but if there was no shortage of arable land for the common people and the grain produced in the land could make a living, the imperial court would not allow endless wasteland.

Every time we can open up wasteland, everyone will hurry up to open a few acres of land, and after a few years, you can farm normally, which is your own land, but such opportunities are not always available.

Siqi doesn't know how much it costs to buy a mountain, how good it would be if he could buy it, then he didn't have to worry about growing cotton and sunflowers at home, it was good to plant them directly on the mountain.

A few days ago, she also heard Wu and Liu's talk, they were saying that there is no place to grow cotton, the land at home is indeed less, if you want to live a good life, food is not lacking, if you don't plant so much food in order to weave to make money, then the money is there, but the people in your own family have no sense of security, what if there is a shortage of food?

After sitting in place for a while, Siqi took Zichen to pick wild fruits, there were not many wild fruits in this season, and the sisters and brothers came back after shopping for a while, and when the sheep were almost finished, they drove the sheep home.

As soon as he entered the door, he heard laughter from the yard, and Siqi smiled, "It looks like someone is here again, I don't know who is coming." ”

"I'll take a look." Zichen ran in with a smile, entered the courtyard, and saw a familiar person, but he couldn't remember who it was for a while.

He paused, then ran back again, "Sister, I know you." ”

"Who is it?" Siqi drove the sheep into the sheepfold and closed it, and asked him.

Zichen shook his head, "I don't know." ”

Thinking about it, didn't you say you knew "......"?
