Chapter 442: Unattainable
After harvesting potatoes and corn before, the villagers were already very happy, and when they harvested sweet potatoes in September, everyone was even happier this time.
This sweet potato is only produced a lot, just a few vines, I didn't expect there to be so many sweet potatoes underneath, and after digging it up, it was placed on the ground, if there were fewer people picking it up, it would be too late.
Sweet potatoes are the most convenient to grow, and there are few seeds, so every household grows quite a lot, and the least has two acres of land.
This year's year is very good, carefully planted, one acre of land can produce two thousand catties, even if it is only planted two acres of land, then you have to harvest three or four thousand catties home.
There are also by-products in this, sweet potato vines are also useful, after drying, they can be stored to feed pigs, fresh can also be fed, and they are not afraid of bad after drying, there is nothing to feed in winter, and these are boiled in water and pig food.
If there are more in the coming year, your family can raise two more pigs, so are you afraid that life will not be good?
Everyone happily went to their cellar to pick sweet potatoes, one by one they were very happy, Gu Kaiming has been in good health these days, he can go to the front yard to walk, seeing his family pick sweet potatoes in the cellar behind one by one, he is also very interested, and wants to go to the field to see.
Even if he can walk, his legs and feet are inconvenient, where can he walk outside for a long time? It happened that Tianyou was resting at home, so he helped him to go to the ground.
The land in the village is a large piece of land that is connected together, and this large piece has different owners, this one belongs to this family, and that one belongs to another family, so there are many people working in a field, and everyone is very happy to see the old man come out, and they all talk to him.
Gu Kaiming, as the ruler of this Tongxin Village, saw that the villagers were beaming, and he was in a good mood.
He knew that all this was because of the Lin family, if the Lin family hadn't taken out the seeds of those crops, how could there be a bumper harvest for everyone now?
This drought is thanks to the Lin family, their contribution is too great, much greater than the Gu family.
He couldn't stand on his legs and feet, so he walked outside for a while and was about to go back, and Tianyou kept supporting him, and he didn't dare to dazzle, for fear of falling his grandfather.
Slowly walked to the door of the house, but I didn't expect to meet Gu Pingyong, Gu Pingyong saw that his eyes lit up, put down the hoe, and hurriedly came over to help him, "Dad, why did you come out, what if you fell, how good is it, and the second child is too, can't you pay more attention?" ”
Gu Kaiming glanced at him and said angrily, "Didn't you see it?" Tianyou has been supporting me, I didn't do my homework in the morning, and I was with me all the time, which was not enough. ”
Gu Pingyong said, "God bless a child, what does he know?" I'm worried about my father's body. ”
"Okay, okay, I'm fine, don't worry about it, the second child's family is very attentive to me, and I live very well here with the second child."
He glanced at the hoe that Gu Pingyong had placed at the door of the old mansion and asked him, "What are you doing in the morning?" Everyone in the village is busy harvesting sweet potatoes, what are you doing? ”
"Dad, the work at home is very busy, now it's time to order beans and wheat, and in the morning in the weir soil."
Gu Kaiming didn't speak, sighed, and paused before saying, "You help me go back, God bless, go back to the house and do your homework, let your mother make some sweet potatoes at noon, I ate it very well yesterday, and I still think about it today." ”
Tianyou knew that this was grandpa deliberately breaking him away, he must have something to say to grandpa, of course he wouldn't follow on purpose.
He nodded and said with a smile, "Okay, when my mother comes back, I'll tell my mother, let's steam it for grandpa to eat, I think it's sweet to steam." ”
Gu Kaiming said with a smile, "Okay, just eat it steamed, I also like to eat it steamed." ”
At this time, there was no one else in Gu Pingzhang's house, even the children were taken to the field to play, and only Tianyou was at home to take care of Gu Kaiming.
Gu Pingyong helped the old man back to the backyard, he went back to the house to do his homework with peace of mind, and listened to Gu Pingyong leave for a while, and then went to the grandfather's house.
When he arrived in the backyard, Gu Kaiming went back to the recliner in the house and sat down, and asked Gu Pingyong to move a stool to sit next to him, and the old man raised his eyes to look at him.
"You have as much land as your second child."
Gu Pingyong nodded in response, "It's the same." As soon as he heard that the old man was mentioning the land, he was uncomfortable, and he always felt that the old man wanted him to take some land out for the second child.
"This year, the second child's family planted eight acres of sweet potatoes, ten acres of corn, and two acres of potatoes, what did you plant?"
Gu Pingyong paused, and honestly said all the things he planted at home, the fields of each family are planted with rice, and they are replaced by rape in autumn, and the soil is generally all kinds of beans, millet, sorghum rice, wheat, sesame, and there is nothing left.
After he said this, Gu Kaiming said again, "Do you know how much grain the second child has to collect this year?" ”
Gu Pingyong didn't speak, Gu Kaiming said directly, "Six or seven hundred catties of corn per mu of land, two thousand catties of sweet potatoes, how many are these alone, can you figure it out?" ”
Gu Pingyong still didn't speak, Gu Kaiming was directly annoyed, and patted the handrail, "Last year, the Lin family asked the villagers to get seeds and come back to plant, so many people went, why didn't you go?" If you grow all this food in your home, can't you try to grow something new? Now that you're seeing that it's good for others to grow these, you don't have any idea in your mind? ”
This review Ping Yong finally reacted, and said a little unconvinced, "Dad, is it possible that you asked me to ask Lin Dezheng?" It's like that before, you don't know, if I go, how will the people in this village laugh at me? ”
Gu Kaiming said angrily, "Even if you don't go to others, you have to laugh at you, laugh at you for being stupid, laugh at you for being stupid, stupid, you can do something to sell your granddaughter, why can't you bow your head in this matter?" You go and get the seeds, this is what the Lin family said they would give, where can you hurt your face? ”
Speaking of Qiu Ling, the old man was a little sad, sighed and said, "Poor Qiu Ling, she married so undignified, fortunately, her in-laws' family treated her well, otherwise I really couldn't let it go, and I couldn't even look at it when I died." ”
"Dad, what are you talking about, this is also something that can't be helped, how can the years of famine be so decent, everyone comes over like this."
Gu Kaiming waved his hand, "Okay, this matter has passed, and I don't rarely talk about you, but I have to say a few words about this kind of land, although those lands are planted by you, they are also the ancestral property of the Gu family, I can't watch you occupy these lands but don't make good use of them, how many generations of our Gu family have worked hard to earn this family business, and now it is in your hands, but it is wasted, I am really heartbroken." ”
Gu Pingyong was stunned, is this going to give his land to the second child?
