Chapter IV
When Mrs. Su came, Yun Niang's stewed meat happened to be on the table, Su Changlin helped the old man to the main seat, and the family started the first "family banquet" in this world in September around a table.
Because it was difficult to see meat, a large bowl of meat and even the soup were eaten by five people. During this period, Yun Niang also sandwiched more chicken legs for September. It made September sad for a while, and she will have a mother's child in the future......
After eating, September wanted to help Yun Niang clean up the dishes and chopsticks, but Mrs. Su hurriedly stopped her. "Nine girls, you might tell me about the rice that your father said just now?"
September lowered her head and thought about the experience of following her grandparents to the field in her previous life. Old lady Su, I don't know when she took out the dry cigarette, and smoked it, her eyes were extremely solemn. At the end of the smoke, knock the cigarette bag and pot clean. Asked in a deep voice, "It's less than May, would you like to try the first section of rice planting?"
Daddy Su and the others were also curious, but they didn't expect the old man to value it so much. Although I still feel that there is little hope in my heart, I still look at September with expectant eyes.
September knows that success or failure is here. Whether or not we can get everyone's support in the future, this rice planting must be successful. "Grandpa, I'm willing, if you don't worry, give me half an acre of land to try planting, if it succeeds, then grandpa will talk to the village chief and grandpa about planting a large area."
The old man looked at his granddaughter's little person, standing there unhurriedly. He looked at him with indescribable certainty in his eyes, and then said, "It's so decided, tomorrow the sun will be good, and the nine girls will wear a few more clothes, and the land at the foot of Rabbit Mountain is by the river, which is just right." What kind of charter, you say, let Dad and Uncle do it. “
September responded with a smile, and remembered how poor the family was, and I didn't know if there were rice seeds. "That's... Rice......? “
"You don't have to worry about this, tomorrow I will go to the village chief's place, if the old boy knows about this, he will definitely be more anxious than me." Old Lady Su thought of the village chief, and there were a few more wrinkles on her smiling face.
September smiled and smiled, "When the time comes, I will have to thank my grandfather for taking care of me more, you know more than me."
……
With a simple word, the family decided on a major event that would be earth-shattering and benefit the people for the Lao Su family and even the entire family.
September didn't ask the old man why he would risk losing more than half a year's rations for the family to support her in doing this. The old man didn't say anything, but September knew that if the final result didn't meet expectations, she had other ways to keep the family fed and clothed. Of course, what if it succeeds......
The next day, September, following the old lady's instructions, I simply had breakfast and went out.
The most beautiful April day in the world, this is not false at all. There is no slight cold in March, no heat in May. Walking to the field, the breeze blows, and the fragrance of wildflowers comes to the nose, which makes people feel refreshed. Sujia Village is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and the largest mountain in the west is called West Mountain, because there are many wild animals in the deep forest, basically no one goes to that mountain, and everyone often goes to the Rabbit Mountain in the north. September's house is at the north end of the village, and behind the house is Rabbit Mountain, and most of the people in the village responded to the call of the yamen at this time
When the road was repaired, there were also people who bent over and worked in their fields.
In September, I walked all the way according to what Yun Niang said, and sure enough, I saw the familiar figure of Daddy Su, in addition to Lady Su, there was one more uncle, probably in September. Su Jinghang was rushed by Father Su to repair the road early in the morning, and he could only come back at noon.
"Grandpa......" September shouted as he walked, because the deliberately accelerated pace along the way made the little face who had just been sick dyed with a trace of blood.
When they got closer, as the old man said, they were close to the water source, and after a morning of Daddy Su's rectification, this experimental land was indeed used to grow rice.
"Nine girls, why are you disobedient, let you wear more clothes, you just see good, don't catch a cold anymore." Old lady Su looked at Jiu Jiu with a look of blame.
"Grandpa, it's okay, walk out and sweat more, I'll be warm. You can rest assured. After speaking, he didn't forget to smile sweetly at the old lady, and the old lady also laughed.
"Jiu'er, can you do this method? Uncle came to turn the ground early in the morning. You can't let the uncle down" Su Changsheng's white teeth almost blinded September's dog eyes. September's uncle, and his face, is somewhat similar to Daddy Su. Daddy Su, kind eyebrows and kind eyes, a good man, compared to Daddy Su's honesty, Uncle Su Changsheng is a little more shrewd.
Uncle doesn't believe Jiu'er, he should also believe in grandpa." September smiled calmly.
The half acre of the Su family's land has been turned over and has been broken to the extreme, and the old lady even personally pulled up his trouser legs to drain the fields. Several people were busy, and most of the time passed, and in September, they also personally soaked rice seeds and fine seedlings. The busy Yun Niang shook her head and sighed again and again. "This kid, the illness is getting better, how can the body stand running around every day!!"
Since September recovered from her illness, Yun Niang's family has gradually become familiar with the current September, regardless of the original temperament, after these few days of getting along, September has slowly let her family accept her changes.
Half a month later, the tiny seedlings were finally sent to the edge of the paddy field in person in September, and the villagers who saw it asked to understand, what two more crops of rice did the Su family plant, and the people who heard it were curious and disdainful, and they didn't see it in September. When the first crop of rice is out, there is no need for her to explain, and it is estimated that the old lady will also come forward.
Sujia Village belongs to the Nanling Continent of Daqing, with high mountains and far waters. The people live in relative poverty, and even worse, they can't eat japonica rice several times in their lives. Not to mention how rice is planted with your own eyes.
The old village chief, who had heard the news early, rushed over in person, and squatted on the edge of the ridge with the old lady of the Su family, smoking a dry cigarette while staring at the seedlings that had just been set up in the camp.
Three inches of a plant, six inches apart a ridge. Under the gentle breeze of the spring breeze, the tender green figure is swaying. It's so fragile and seems to contain endless life.
The old village chief frowned tightly with a few white eyebrows, inexplicably solemn, and his expression faintly revealed a trace of piety and hope. said in a deep voice to Old Lady Su, "Brother, I will hand it over to you before the harvest, if it is done, our two old men will not live in vain." “
Old lady Su got up and didn't speak, patted the village chief on the shoulder, and let out a long breath, everything was silent.
