Chapter Twenty-Six: The Autumn Harvest
Today, Li Bokang only went to the county government for half a day, and he didn't go to the county government again in the second half of the day.
When he came back from the county office, he saw the mother and son lying on a chaise longue and the other sleeping on a small bed.
He didn't bother them at first, just watched their mother and son at this entrance, and then it was when they asked her to say goodbye in the spring moon that Yang Xue found out about him.
However, although she spotted him, she didn't do anything.
At this time, she was lying on the recliner and didn't want to move at all.
Li Bokang didn't bother them, and after going to the room to change his clothes, he came to their mother and son's side.
In fact, he didn't sit with them in the yard for long, because the sun soon reached them.
The sun was a little strong, and it was a little sunny, so they packed up and went back to their rooms, and it was almost time for lunch.
Lunch wasn't too grand, it was about the same as usual, and the highlight of the day was mainly in the evening.
In fact, it's not a big deal, and I don't plan to do a big deal about them, so there's no big play or anything like that.
However, today Li Bokang also gave An An a long-prepared gift, and this gift was decided after the two of them discussed it before.
The gift was a set of silver jewelry worn by a child, a longevity lock, a pair of bracelets, and a pair of anklets.
It's not that they are reluctant to give An An a set of gold jewelry, and they are not bad money at present.
In June, they got another share from Yipinju in their money bank account, and this time it was more than the previous one, nearly 10,000 taels.
So, they're really not bad for money right now.
This time it was Yang Xue's decision to give An An silver jewelry, because she had heard that wearing silver jewelry could help the excretion of toxins from the human body.
She had heard that there were many benefits of carrying silver jewelry with her, and she went out of her way to check it out, and learned that sterling silver can speed up wound healing, treat infections, purify water, and preserve drinks.
In addition, it is also said that it has a calming effect, so the benefits of wearing silver jewelry for children are much better than gold jewelry.
Therefore, she finally decided to give An An a set of sterling silver jewelry for him to carry, and it is best for children to bring this.
Li Bokang would never argue with her about these, so as soon as she said it, he agreed.
This time, in addition to giving An An jewelry, Li Bokang also bought a lot of things for her, and he was never stingy with her.
Even though she doesn't usually wear it much, it never hinders Li Bokang's enthusiasm for buying things for her.
Moreover, he also bought it for An An this time, there is no reason not to prepare for her, she has always been the most important in his heart.
Today's dinner was very good, and everyone added several dishes, even if it was to celebrate the full moon of An An.
In this way, An An's full moon passed.
In the following days, An An also grew up with changes day by day, and Li Bokang's work began to become more and more busy, because the autumn harvest was approaching again.
This year, because Li Bokang was still thinking about the notice he had issued earlier about manure, and now that the autumn harvest was coming, he also wanted to see what the result was.
He still had a lot of uncertainty in his mind, and he didn't know if anyone would go back and try the methods he said.
Autumn received it, and Li Bokang decided to go to each village and town to see it in person this time to test his previous results.
Speaking of which, this autumn harvest is not much different from usual, but because Li Bokang has something on his mind, he deliberately has more.
Every time he went to a village or town, Li Bokang would personally ask the people in the village if anyone had used the manure methods he mentioned.
Li Bokang also made some preparations for this matter, he told Yang Xue at home before, and they discussed it a lot.
But, in the end, he still had a lot of hopes, he wanted someone to use the methods he said, and he hoped that those methods would have obvious results.
In this way, he will be able to convince more people that these methods are useful, so that their harvest will increase in the future.
Even if you can't add a lot by then, you can still let those ordinary people eat more, which is also very good.
This time, in fact, Li Bokang was not too disappointed.
Because, all the way down from every village and town, Li Bokang also knew that there were indeed some people who used the methods he said.
Although there are very few people in this part, there are also people who use it, right?
What's more, what is even more gratifying is that those who have used those methods of manure have a relatively obvious effect on this year's harvest compared to before.
After confirming that there is an effect, Li Bokang believes that in this way, many people will gradually use these methods.
In this way, it can be regarded as a good start for him to improve the current situation of Miyang and let the people of Miyang live a good life.
The most important thing is that after this incident, he believes that the people will have a lot of trust and enthusiasm for what he will do in the future.
At least not like she did when she first started, without the slightest bit of trust in him.
Because there are still very few people using his method this year, the increase in production has been done by individual families, and for most people, there is still no difference.
After returning from the township, Li Bokang told her about the situation of the people this year.
Li Bokang never deliberately hid anything from her, even after she became the county magistrate in Miyang.
He will often bring the affairs of the county back to discuss with her, Li Bokang never thinks that women are inferior to men, especially women like her.
Even, in many cases, he thinks she is better than many men.
Of course, this doesn't mean that she's a tigress and really doesn't treat her as a man.
She also needs to be cared for!
This is just to say that she has a lot of opinions that are more unique than ordinary men, and many times Li Bokang will have a feeling of being ashamed.
Actually, this is normal, after all, she has been living in modern times for so many years, even at the bottom, but she still knows something in general.
Although, in life, she is indeed better than many men, sometimes Li Bokang feels that she can live well without herself.
However, he also knew very well that she would become like this, and that was also because she had lived too many hard lives that no one could rely on before, and she became like this.
Because of this, he will feel more sorry for her, be good to her, and will not do anything to be sorry for her.
It is undeniable that sometimes she is also a little scared and worried.
He was afraid that if she did something that made her sad, she would leave him behind.
It's just that he never said these things to her, or expressed such thoughts.
