Chapter 419: Please ask the Gu family for help
After taking those corn home, I have to dig up the longevity fruit again, and I still planted it this year, this thing is so profitable, even if the year is bad, I have to take a piece of land to plant it.
Last year, only 100 catties of seeds were left, and three acres of land were planted, according to the yield, if the harvest is good this year, you can harvest about 1,000 catties of dry long-lived fruits, but the weather is dry, and the yield is estimated to be discounted.
Breaking corn and digging up longevity fruits, the people in the village were stunned, this year's harvest was not good, everyone's work was done very fast, but the Lin family had been busy.
When he got home in the evening, Siqi said, "Grandpa, in previous years, Grandpa Gu's family came to help our family, why didn't you come this year?" ”
In fact, she knew why, because her fifth uncle was an official, and now the Lin family has planted so many new things, and the people in the village were bitter and mean before, but now many people are envious.
The Gu family understands these truths, everyone is staring at it, they don't want to come up at this time, they will be gossiped about, saying that they deliberately posted it to the Lin family.
Lin Dezheng is an honest person, he can't think about it so much, Siqi said it to give him a wake-up call, so many years of friendship, you can't be divided because of these things, the Gu family is indeed not good to take the initiative to come up to help, but if the Lin family goes to them to help, it will be different.
She guided Lin Dezheng to think of this, and Lin Dezheng was embarrassed, "What can I do about this?" ”
Wu said on the side, "Old man, our family is indeed very busy, tomorrow you will go to Second Brother Gu's house, talk to them well, and ask them if they can come over to help." ”
"Our family has collected a lot of things this year, these things can be eaten, this year's harvest is not good, there will definitely be a shortage of food in the coming year, we will not be hungry, take this opportunity to give some to Second Brother Gu's family, our family had nothing to eat back then, they helped us a lot."
Siqi listened to these words, and couldn't help but praise Wu in his heart, sure enough, grandma is smarter, after she said it understood, grandma immediately thought of a solution, and it was quite perfect.
Lin Dezheng listened to the Wu family very much on weekdays, and after the Wu family said it, he felt that there was no problem, so he nodded and agreed, and after dinner, he went to Gu Pingzhang's house and told them about it.
Gu Pingzhang said, "I won't tell you, seeing that your family is so busy, I have long wanted people to help, but it's really not good to take the initiative to pass, now this year, everyone knows what next year will be like, your family is doing well, I go over now, I don't know what it will be said to be." ”
Lin Dezheng felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, "Second brother, blame me for not thinking about it before, I didn't come to you because I was afraid of troublesome you, I helped a lot before, but I didn't take care of this layer, the relationship between our two families, these kind words don't need to be said again, if it wasn't for your family's help before, our family might not be able to survive so many people, where am I ungrateful?" ”
"This year's loss to her son, she thought of a way to make me nod, so our family planted so many good things, now it seems that the harvest is really good, if it goes on like this, next year's food is there, as long as our Lin family has a bite to eat, it will not make the second brother's family hungry, you can rest assured."
Lin Dezheng smiled, "I still have to break corn in a few days, this work is very tiring, our family is really busy, and we have to ask the second brother's family to help." ”
Gu Pingzhang was very moved and sighed, "God is playing tricks on people, I don't know how many people will be hungry next year, if your family's food is really enough, I really have to be cheeky and stretch out my hand." ”
Lin Dezheng hurriedly said, "Second brother, don't say that, this is all as it should be, if Qi'er and Tiankuo become a family in the future, our two families will become a family." ”
After this matter was decided, Lin Dezheng breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, blaming him for not thinking of this, otherwise the relationship between the two families would have been ruined by him.
On the way back, he kept thinking, his granddaughter is really smart, thinking back to these things this year, if there is no son, where can it be so beautiful?
He didn't have the courage to make these decisions at the beginning, if it weren't for his son begging him all the time, and his family helping him to speak, he would not have been able to agree.
Lin Dezheng is a little embarrassed, he has lived most of his life, and he thinks he has seen a lot of things, but in the end he is not as good as his granddaughter.
The rest of the corn will start to break in early August, and at this time of the year, we have already begun to raise rape seedlings, dig trenches, prepare to plant beans, plant vegetables, and do all this work.
This year is completely different, the field is as dry as a stone, who can dig it? God doesn't rain, even if you dig the fields hard, you won't be able to plant the rape by then.
Now it seems that if this weather is all the time, it will affect not only this year's harvest, but also next year's harvest.
The Lin family asked Gu Pingzhang's family to help with the work, and the seven or eight acres of corn were broken in two days.
This work is very tiring, Tian Yuan and the other young people have done a lot, and they have been scratched a lot, and the Wu family feels very sorry for them.
Tian Yuan said with a smile, "Grandma Lin, it's not a big deal, we have rough skin and thick meat, and it will be fine in two days, but this thing is really cost-effective, and we actually got so much back." ”
Siqi is also quite satisfied with this harvest, this year's drought has been affected, otherwise it can be harvested more, and there will be more than 4,000 catties after these are dried.
This sounds like a lot, in fact, the yield is already low, after all, after planting nearly ten acres of land, only more than 4,000 catties were harvested, and one acre of land was only less than 500 catties.
In the previous life, those corn varieties were good, fertilizers and pesticides were used a lot, and there was no shortage of water, and at most one acre of land could produce about 2,000 catties, which showed the difference.
But even such a harvest can help a lot, and this is a year of famine, how many people have to fill their stomachs with these things? If you rely on rice, you will only be hungry.
In the coming year, if the wind and rain are smooth and there is more time, she will take good care of it, and there will be no problem with a yield of nearly 1,000 catties per mu.
There is a lot of work at this time now, but because it doesn't rain this year, a lot of work has been delayed, and everyone has nothing to do, so they can only look at the sky and sigh.
The Lin family has a lot of things, and after the corn is recovered, the corn kernels have to be taken out, which has to be done by hand, purely manual, and there is no machine, no way.
still asked the Gu family for help, they have a lot of people in the family, and they come to the Lin family every day to help remove the corn kernels, so that the work can be done much faster.
The Lin family didn't dare to delay, they could dig sweet potatoes in September, but they were big heads, and they couldn't be sloppy.
