Wei Chenglan's eyes turned to the rice field on the edge of the lotus pond, when he came last year, there were still sparse alfalfa, and he couldn't even cover the land, but now, the rice seedlings are green and strong, no accident, there is no 10,000 catties of rice this year, and he can be harvested for eight or nine thousand catties. How many people do you have to feed, he thought of the people in Weijiawan who were tortured by hunger.

"If only I could improve that sandy field into a rice field." This thought kept in his mind, and his blood immediately boiled.

Weijiawan is on the river beach, don't worry about running out of water, like Wen Jin, get a big stone dam, and then build a canal to the river, with a water wheel to drive water, why not worry about not planting rice? He stood on the edge of the pond and couldn't help but be stupid.

Wei Chenglan is an anxious child, has ideas, and can't do it immediately. But, what about my sister's house? Rely on brother-in-law? Although I am not lazy in my work, I have no work in my eyes, and I can't count on it at all. Wen Han and Wen Jin are too small. Tossing and turning, Wei Chenglan didn't fall asleep in the middle of the night, and suddenly a flash of inspiration occurred in his mind, and he couldn't help grinning.

The next day, Wei Chenglan said hello to her sister, and went back to Weijiawan, bringing someone at noon.

Ge Shi was anxious when he saw it, and pulled the man to ask in a low voice, "What are you doing with the dumb man?" ”

"Get to work."

"We all eat for nothing, and you still call the dumb man, how can he eat."

"But he's just alone, the two of us work, the family eats, Lianggong and Liangqing are still studying, which is more expensive?"

Ge Shi was speechless, but her face was a little angry, it was easy for the family to eat and drink, and her son and daughter could still go to school, but the man wanted to toss again, how much did the family pay for his people.

The Qian family didn't know Wei Chenglan's plans, seeing that the person he brought was a mute, very diligent and capable, so he didn't say anything, anyway, there were too many things at home, and he was always busy.

The mute has weak hearing, and he is also very smart, and he learned the work that Wei Chenglan usually does in a few days.

After breakfast that day, Wei Chenglan talked to Wei Shi while helping to get pig food: "Sister, I want to discuss something with you." ”

"You say!" Seeing his younger brother so solemn, Webster was a little apprehensive.

"I want to go back. Wen Jin can turn a barren beach into a fertile field as a child, and I want to go home and give it a try. ”

Merriam-Webster was speechless.

"I don't say yes!" Ge Shi has been watching her husband's actions, and she has been quietly listening outside at this moment. I saw her rushing in with tears streaming down her face, choking up and saying, "Wen Jin said at the time that Liangxi has a big head and a small body, so she can't eat well, and I also said that children are born like that, but now, it's only been half a year, Liangxi has changed, and people are smarter, and they don't look stupid at all. Not only Liangxi, but also Lianggong and Liangqing, how much they like to read, the two children teach their husband every night, and give the two brothers to learn again, lest there be the slightest mistake, afraid that they will not learn well, live up to the expectations of the two brothers, and live up to the kindness of their aunts and uncles. ”

She wiped her eyes with a handkerchief and continued to cry: "You, you can't take us back again, oh, no, I can go back, Liangxi They are still young, this is not good, you take the child here, I will go back to take care of a few orphaned old people in our clan......"

Wei Chenglan was very surprised at first, Ge's mother's family was also well-off, and before marrying him, it could be said that she had no worries about food and clothing, but since she entered the door of the Wei family, she had never complained or tired, even if she didn't eat or drink, wild vegetables and leaves, and she never complained, let alone had trouble with him, and it was the first time she was like this today.

At first, he thought that she probably couldn't help it, but when he heard the back, he saw that there was not a word of grievance for himself, and his heart was full of three children, and Wei Chenglan was also sad.

Yes, the three children suffered with themselves.

But Wei Chenglan is not a soft-hearted person, he can't forget his father's death, looking at him expectantly, the Wei family is a big family, after the disaster of the Jinhe diversion, there are less than half of the people left, and they are still divided, and there are more than 100 households left with these thirty or forty households, and he really can't leave it alone.

When I first moved to Weijiawan, there were still foreign surnames attached to it, and there were no less than 1,000 people in the village.

Unfortunately, the good times did not last long, and the river flats quickly lost their fertility, and people had to move around.

Ge Shi saw that the man was sad, and his heart was very unbearable, but he was reluctant to let the child suffer, he was embarrassed for a long time, and he sobbed and cried, Wen Han heard it, and hurriedly ran over to find Wen Jin: "What should I do?" Uncle is making a fuss about going back to Weijiawan. ”

"Why?" Wen Jin was also taken aback, and her first reaction was whether she had done something wrong.

"For the sake of the Wei family, my uncle can't let them go."

When the two came to the kitchen door, their aunt was still crying, and Wei Chenglan didn't say a word.

How could he leave on his own and leave his wife and children to his sister to raise? If you don't stay, how can Ge Shi agree? As a mother, she really can't go back to the days when older children can't afford to read, and younger children are malnourished and stunted.

Wen Jin thought about it and pulled Wen Han into the house.

"Second aunt, uncle, aunt, I have something to say."

The three of them didn't think there was anything wrong with her doing this, and now, Wen Jin was as heavy as an adult in their eyes.

"Uncle, if you want to go back to Weijiawan, I don't object to it, but it's not to go back to live permanently, but to make arrangements for the time being."

Wei Chenglan didn't speak, and listened to Wen Jin calmly.

"Weijiawan is not yet ready to grow rice. Although it is close to the river, the old channel is too wide, and now the water flow is very narrow, you want to build a canal, how long is that? There are no ready-made stones there, and if you carry stones from the front of the mountain and add lime, my uncle must have considered the amount of work. ”

"Let's do it little by little, and we can do it one day."

"Uncle, Weijiawan can't develop like this. You should stop cultivating the land, because the river banks will naturally grow barren grass, and the land near the river can be transplanted with reeds.

With them, the situation of the whole old river in autumn and winter can be improved, and after a few years, the reeds can form a swamp, and you can raise ducks and fish. Also, the river beach far away from the river water, it is grown by wild grass, and you can even plant some grasses that are not afraid of water and are drought tolerant when there is a lot of water in summer, and then, you can raise sheep and pigs, sheep manure and pig manure can fertilize the field, and slowly accumulate, the sandy land of the river beach is not so barren, at this time, you can consider planting rice. But from the beginning to the end, you must grasp the principle of more grass and less fields, and also, do not raise free-range livestock, but cut the grass and go home, otherwise the grass will not grow at all, and the sheep will eat it up. Wen Jin is not an environmental protection expert, she can only say everything she knows.
