After fifteen, Xuan's and Zijun are going to the county seat again, this time I don't know when I will be able to come back, and when I leave, I told the children to be obedient at home and not to cause trouble.

Several children were very reluctant to her, holding back tears, and even Zichen didn't cry, "Mother, I will definitely be good at home, you come back early." ”

Xuanshi hugged him, "Okay, as long as my mother is not busy, I will come back immediately, Zichen wants to read more and learn to write with my brother." ”

"Well, I will."

After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, even if the year is over, everyone began to sigh again, because God has not rained yet.

The situation is not optimistic now, if you continue to do this, then when will it be the end, it has not rained for more than half a year.

Gu Kaiming, as the person in charge of the village, is now so anxious that he can't eat, can't sleep, if there is a drought for two consecutive years, the people in the village will not be able to survive.

As soon as the first month is over, it is spring ploughing, and the work in the field is about to start one after another, but what can I do now? The grain I planted last year didn't grow, and now I don't even have vegetables to eat, so I have to go up the mountain to get wild vegetables to eat.

Siqi is also very anxious, it is time to plant potatoes in February, she planned to plant more this year, and she can harvest a lot in June, and it will be relieved at that time.

But who knows if it's not raining at this time, so what should I do now? In March, it's time to plant corn and peanuts again, and if the corn can't be planted, the loss will be great.

The people have been looking forward to it, and God can't stand it, so at the end of the first month, there was a solid rainstorm, which made everyone happy, and it was still cold, and many people ran out of their homes directly.

This is the rain after a long drought, since the last rain in May last year, how long has it been now, and finally it has rained again.

Many people were afraid that it would no longer rain, so they hurriedly moved all the large tanks in the house to the yard to receive water, and connected them all, as many as they could.

The Lin family is the same, all the water tanks in the family have been moved to the yard to receive water, and after the water is connected, it can be eaten, so that the water in the well can be saved.

The Lin family's well is in the yard, and it used to be made at a high price, and it was quite deep, so even if it was dry for so long, it could still produce water, but it was not much.

It rained all night, and when they got up the next day, many people went outside to see that the two weir ponds in the village had been filled with a lot of water.

This is a good thing, with this water, spring ploughing is not afraid, after all, there will be no delay in planting food, if two successive ploughing are affected, then I don't know how many people will starve to death.

Planting potatoes will start in February, Siqi taught the Gu family how to plant potatoes, and now they have taken some potatoes out to sprout, just waiting to go to the field.

She suddenly thought that instead of using these things from her own family to help the villagers, it would be better for everyone to use their own land now and plant some potatoes to satisfy their hunger in the future.

Nowadays, many people don't have enough food at home, potatoes grow fast, they can be dug in June if they are planted in February, and they can be used as a staple food, which is particularly useful.

It's the same with sweet potatoes, if everyone plants them, they won't have to worry about it later, the seeds are taken out by them, and the people in the village will remember the good of the Lin family.

She was really stupid, she had always thought of using the sweet potatoes and potatoes she grew at home to help the villagers tide over the difficulties, but she didn't expect to take out the seeds and let them plant them too, so that it would be easier.

If you only rely on those things in your own family, where will nearly 100 families in the village be able to feed?

Siqi couldn't help but knock his head, it was so stupid.

She hurriedly went to Lin Changyuan to discuss this matter, and Lin Changyuan also felt that this idea was right, and the father and daughter went to Lin Dezheng together.

After Lin Dezheng understood, he nodded, "That's good, but it's not good for us to make this decision." ”

Siqi opened his eyes wide and asked him, "Grandpa, why?" It's almost February, and it's just raining, so we have to start planting now, and we have to explain it to the villagers, or they won't believe us. ”

"This is very laborious, if you want to be more diverse, you have to take out the land at home, many people in the village only have less than ten acres of land at home, they are probably unwilling, we have to hurry up."

Lin Dezheng said, "What you said is naturally right, I also want everyone in the village to agree, but this Tongxin Village is the Gu family in charge, and everything has to be decided by the old man Gu, let's go to the Gu family and talk to the old man Gu, as long as he comes forward to explain it to everyone, everyone will nod, and it will be more convenient for us to do things at that time, and then come, so that it is not too much to exceed the rules, do you understand?" ”

Siqi didn't think of this just now, and after Lin Dezheng explained it to her, she nodded and said with a smile, "Well, I know." ”

Lin Dezheng and Lin Changyuan went to the Gu family together, they didn't take Siqi there, Siqi was a little girl after all, and it wouldn't be good if the people in the village knew that these were her ideas.

Gu Kaiming was thinking about Tongxin Village all his thoughts, Lin Dezheng and his son went to him, and after explaining this matter, the old man was very happy, and he coughed several times in excitement.

"Okay, just do it, this method is really good, but in this way you will suffer some grievances, this thing is not easy to get, if you grow it yourself, you will have to earn a sum of money in the future, and now everyone has it."

Lin Dezheng said, "Uncle Gu, we are all croppers, who doesn't understand the hard work, the past two years have not been good, and seeing that life is going to be unbearable, who still thinks about this?" ”

"These crops were originally tried to be planted, and then the seeds were to be planted for everyone, and someone had to try them first, and let people take out the land and plant these things that they had never seen for no reason, who would want to? If this is planted well, it will be planted in every village in the future, and more food will be stored at home, so that even if there is any disaster, you will not be hungry, which is a good thing. ”

Gu Kaiming couldn't help but nodded, "It's best for you to think like this, okay, I know about this matter, I will gather the villagers tomorrow and explain this matter to everyone, what it should be is what it is, if you want to, go to your house to get the seeds back, if you don't want to, don't force it, what do you think?" ”

Lin Dezheng said, "Uncle Gu has to call the shots, so things will be much more convenient." ”
