Chapter 89: New Varieties
When Tong Chuxue just crossed into this world, her heart could only be described as excited.
She was originally struggling in troubled times, but now she has no worries about food and clothing, no natural disasters, no radiation, no endless wars, she thought this was a beautiful new world.
However, when a heavy snow fell, she truly realized that this world also has its cruelty.
The funeral of the old man was very simple, and the people in the village also knew that the conditions of the family were not good.
However, this funeral does not seem to disturb the atmosphere of other people's families preparing for the New Year, perhaps numb, or strange.
Xu Jinniang was afraid that Tong Chuxue would feel uncomfortable, and said a lot, it turned out that this year's winter was colder than in previous years, and there was no way for the poor to heat their homes, and it was normal for the old people who were not in good health to freeze to death, so after a long time, no one took this as a big deal.
After all, who didn't come over like this, maybe one day it will be their turn.
Tong Chuxue's heart weighed more than a thousand catties, and Xu Jinniang saw that her persuasion had almost no effect, so she simply went to Luo's house to call Luo Hui'an.
When Luo Hui'an came, Tong Chuxue was in a daze, and she was lying on the windowsill as usual.
She knew that she shouldn't be so sad, she had seen too much killing and death in the last days, but why she couldn't accept it here.
Seeing that Luo Hui'an was coming, the other party still looked like a scholar, but in winter, he wore a thicker one.
Xu drank Ganoderma lucidum tea some time ago and had some effect, and his face didn't seem to be particularly pale.
"What do you think of growing rice?" Tong Chuxue said endlessly, but she just felt that Luo Hui'an could understand what she meant.
"Very good." Luo Hui'an replied.
"I also want to build roads." Tong Chuxue said again.
"Good."
"Well, that's it." Tong Chuxue made up her mind and regained the light in her eyes.
Luo Hui'an didn't say much, just sat here with her, and sat for two hours.
At noon, Xu Jinniang insisted on leaving people to eat, and Tong Chuxue's mood was obviously much better.
The gloom of the previous days was swept away, and Tong Chuxue threw himself into his busy work again.
She formed a big plan in her mind.
Since God has given her a chance to be reborn and a chance to live in peace, she should not only take care of herself, but should take her own responsibility.
Tong Chuxue didn't go out again in the later time, locked herself in the room, and wrote and painted on paper all day long, fortunately, now Xu Jinniang has recognized some words, and it can be seen that Tong Chuxue is studying road repair.
"Chu Xue, do you really want to build a road for the village?" Xu Jinniang was surprised.
"That's right, mother, there is only one dirt road in and out of our village, if this road can be repaired, it will be much easier for us to come and go, and it will be more convenient for the carriage to walk." Tong Chu Snow Trail.
"How much does it cost to build a road?" Xu Jinniang has no concept of this, but vaguely feels that the amount must be expensive.
"This, I don't know, when the time comes, I'll ask Uncle Lizheng." Tong Chuxue put down the pen.
She now has more than two thousand taels of silver on hand, so she should be able to.
When Tong Chuxue has made all the plans, Chinese New Year's Eve has arrived.
This year's Chinese New Year's Eve was a little more lively, and the two servants of the family, plus Liu Fen, brought Xu Jinniang and Tong Chuxue, a total of five people, to have a home-cooked meal together.
The atmosphere at the dinner table was pleasant and warm.
Xu Jinniang also specially told her to remember to make a wish, and it is said that the wish made at the first moment of the New Year will definitely come true.
Tong Chuxue clasped her hands together and made a New Year's wish, her wish this year is very simple, that is, she wants to build a new house for her family.
And on the Luo family's side, Lin Chunyan is also urging the children to make wishes.
But several children seemed to have discussed it, and they were all silently making wishes, but they refused to say what the promise was.
The happy time is always very short, the ice melts, the willows bud, and spring comes.
This also means that the people in the village are starting to get busy one after another, preparing for the new rice season.
The planting of dendrobium and ganoderma lucidum in Tong Chuxue will also be restarted, and during this time, Luo Changhua has already started to clean up the greenhouse and repair some of the places that have been crushed by the snow.
However, the weather has not fully warmed up, and the time for planting Ganoderma lucidum has to be moved back.
Taking advantage of this gap, Tong Chuxue went to Tong Shan's house.
No one knows what Tong Chuxue talked to Tong Shan that day, only that Tong Chuxue went in in the morning and didn't come out of Lizheng's house until dinner was over.
On the second day, Li Zheng called everyone to the square in the center of the village.
The people gathered in the square saw Tong Chuxue standing beside Lizheng, and they had a plan in their hearts, and there must be something important to say today.
Due to the great changes in the Tong family during this time, Tong Chuxue's status in the minds of everyone can be said to be rising.
Tong Shan cleared his throat when he saw that everyone had arrived, and said, "There is an important matter to announce when you gather everyone here today. As we all know, spring is coming, and the preparation of the first season of rice seeds will begin soon. This year, the village decided to provide a batch of new varieties of rice for free, with a quantity of one mu per family, and the villagers who were willing to plant it came to me to register. ”
When the villagers heard that there was a new rice seed, they were immediately excited, and wondered what the new seedlings would look like, and how it would differ from their own varieties.
"Lizheng, where did you get the rice seeds you said?"
Tong Shan pointed to Tong Chuxue, "These are all provided by the snow girl for free." ”
Although Tong Chuxue's image has improved in the hearts of everyone, she is still a young child after all, and when it comes to farming, it is still difficult for the big guy to trust Tong Chuxue.
"Snow girl, where did you come from, you bought it outside?"
"What's the difference?"
"Since you give it, why don't you be generous, is it a little less to give an acre."
There were all sorts of voices in the crowd, mixed with distrust.
Tong Chuxue understood everyone's concerns and said, "The source of the seeds is not important, everyone must know that the income of the field has a lot to do with the weather. My seeds are drought-tolerant, have high yields, and are resistant to pests and diseases. ”
"The reason why I pointed out one acre to a family is because I don't have a lot of these seeds, and after everyone goes back to plant them, they can leave a batch of seeds to continue planting."
Someone below was curious, "You said the yield is high, how high can it be." ”
Tong Chuxue estimated the yield of the last time, and she used her ability to cultivate the seeds for the second time, "About one mu of land can harvest about a thousand catties." ”
As soon as these words came out, there were bursts of laughter below.
"A thousand catties, this girl must have been deceived by buying seeds, how can an acre of land grow a thousand catties of grain."
