Chapter 426: Enlightenment and Thought
The people in the village decided very quickly, and as soon as Old Man Gu said it, someone went to Lin's house to get seeds.
The Lin family also discussed, and the family gave seven or eight catties of potatoes, thirty catties of sweet potatoes, and ten catties of corn.
You can't grow many potatoes, and if you save a little, you can plant two parts of soil, the most important ones are corn and sweet potatoes, which are the two that have a high yield.
These sweet potatoes can be planted on about two acres of land, corn can also be planted on two acres of land, corn can be harvested in July, sweet potatoes can be in September, before that potatoes can be topped, potatoes confiscated can only eat grain.
They have all calculated it, so that they can overcome this difficulty, and when the rice is harvested at the end of July, life will not be worried.
The Lin family has already taken out so much, but they still have to take care of their own family, if everyone in the village comes to receive the seeds, then they will have to spend a lot of things.
A lot of people came on the first day, and the adults of the Lin family planted these for the first time before, and they didn't understand it very clearly, so they still had to think about it.
After those people took the seeds, they all listened very carefully, and only after making sure that they understood it did not take their things home, as long as the people who came, they all believed in the Lin family, and when they left, they were very grateful, not to mention how grateful.
There will be fewer people coming the next day, and some people are waiting and watching, for fear that they will suffer a loss.
There are also people who come to get seeds, but I heard the Lin family say that as long as they take the seeds back, they must be planted, and they can't be left at home and not used, and they can't be eaten directly.
Siqi saw the true side of human nature this time, she originally thought that they were willing to take out the seeds, and the people in the village should be very enthusiastic, and they would be very grateful to them, who knew that it would be such a result.
Although most people choose to believe them, but that small number is still very skeptical, Siqi doesn't quite understand that kind of doubt, obviously you are doing good deeds, but others always think that you are trying to make money and kill people, which makes her very uncomfortable.
Lin Changyuan looked at her face and knew that she must be mindful of this matter in her heart, and persuaded her, "You don't have to think about it, how can you easily believe us if no one has ever seen something?" We're doing good deeds, but no one says that as long as you're doing good deeds, others have to believe in you. ”
Siqi sighed, "But these are obviously good things, we don't want to make the people in the village hungry, but we have to be considered by others as having ulterior motives, I think it's quite aggrieved." ”
Lin Changyuan smiled, "When you told me that these were good things, do you know what I thought? ”
Siqi looked at him and shook his head, "What do you think?" ”
Lin Changyuan said, "Actually, I don't believe it, son, you are just a little girl, you have grown up in this place since you were a child, how many worlds can you see?" Although there is the old woman in your dream, but this kind of thing is illusory, and you can't easily believe that the land is the lifeblood of the croppers, and you want to take out the land to plant those crops that don't know what it is, do you think I can not hesitate in my heart? ”
Siqi didn't understand what he was thinking until this moment, and said with some curiosity, "Why is Dad still willing to listen to me and help me persuade my grandparents?" ”
"Because you are my daughter, you want to try, I can't bear to let you down, so I am willing to help you, and at the same time, I am afraid that the final result will be bad and the family will blame you, so I said that I meant, and at the same time, it is also to protect you and not let people know that you are smart."
Lin Changyuan touched her hair, "I'm your father, so I'm willing to protect you, but this villager is not related to us, how can they easily trust us?" Do you feel much more comfortable thinking like this? ”
"Dad knows that you are for everyone's good, and you don't want everyone to go hungry, so you will be in a hurry, but these things are very good crops, and everyone will naturally know after planting, and every household will plant them in the future, don't be in a hurry At this time, we did what we should do, and we don't have to think about anything else."
Siqi was a little stunned after hearing these words, she always felt that she was an adult, and she had seen more of the world, and when she came to such a poor and backward mountain village, she would definitely be able to rely on her own wisdom to make her family live a good life.
She has always been very confident, thinking that she knows a lot, but what Lin Changyuan said just now made her a little shocked, and she couldn't understand such a simple truth.
She thought about it herself, those words just now were very right, she really couldn't ask others to trust her unconditionally, why should others accept her kindness?
In her previous life, she was a rich girl, she had no worries about food and clothing, and she didn't know what it meant to be hungry, and for her, the bad father-daughter relationship with her father was already a big problem in her life.
But at this time, people are facing far more than that, they will go hungry, they will die, there will be famine, and there will be people who will be fed in order to live.
She knows that corn and sweet potatoes are good things, but people don't know, those lands can grow millet and sorghum rice, they can fill their stomachs, they are more sure, and they have never heard of corn and sweet potatoes, if they make a wrong decision, they may kill the family, and where do they dare to make such a decision easily?
She really thought about it wrong just now, but after Lin Changyuan dismissed her, she figured it out, so she laughed, "Dad, I understand, thank you." ”
Lin Changyuan smiled, "It's good that you understand, what our family is doing this time is a good thing, we should be happy, don't be sad." ”
Siqi smiled, "Okay, I understand, it won't be like this again." ”
After three days, the number of people who were willing to receive the seeds was almost gone, and by this time the potatoes were ready to be planted, and all the families were turning the ground and trying to plant them in the ground as soon as possible.
The potatoes have not yet sprouted, and they have to be left outside to sprout, and they will have to be planted in a few days.
There are still several families in the village who have been watching, including Gu Pingyong, he actually wants to plant, but he can't erase that face, with such a relationship with the Lin family, let him take the initiative to go to the Lin family to get seeds, how embarrassing, so many people are watching.
So he's in a hurry now, and he doesn't know what to do.
There are also a few families who have a good relationship with him, and they also look at the meaning of their family, if Gu Pingyong goes, those families will also go, including Gu Zeliang and Gu Chao.
Both of them have been put back, and now they are in the village with their tails between their legs, and they don't talk to others much, and they are in prison, which is a shameful thing, and the people in the village are not willing to deal with them.
After that incident, the two of them still have a good relationship with Gu Pingyong, which is also a helpless thing, and now they can only follow Gu Pingyong.
