Ding Xiaodie squatted on the side to help her father pick up sweet potatoes, and she suddenly found that the sweet potatoes were actually quite shallow, which completely echoed the method of shallow cultivation of dryland crops, cutting off the capillaries of the soil surface, inhibiting soil water transpiration, and enhancing drought resistance.

Although the descendants of Master Lu's family may have just planted it at random at that time, they didn't expect it to inadvertently become such a scientific model.

So these sweet potatoes still exist well, not only are they there, but they are bigger than the other.

She thought to herself, if she buried the sweet potato root back at this time, would it grow small sweet potatoes again?

This idea has been lingering in her heart, but after all, she has no experience in farming, and it is difficult to say it.

But in the end, when his father was resting, he quietly told him what he was thinking.

After hearing this, Ding Gui said: "What if this method succeeds, won't it save people again?" ”

He grabbed the soil and pinched it in the palm of his hand, the mud still felt a little damp, if it was dug flat and cooled for a few hours, then even this little bit of water would evaporate.

"No, we have to try, no matter how hungry we are, we have to keep the seeds, not to mention that everyone has so many sweet potatoes now, and they can't eat those roots anymore." Ding Gui looked at his daughter inquiringly, only to see the little girl nodding affirmatively.

He immediately got up and went to the village chief and told him what he thought.

After listening to it, Laifu felt that it was unlikely, after all, the weather was too dry, and there was little chance of survival, but after thinking about it, he felt that Ding Gui was right, since he couldn't eat the root path for the time being, and it happened to be in the season, why not give it a try?

"Stop." After pondering, Laifu told everyone to stop, and then picked up a piece of sweet potato root diameter and told everyone: "Don't bulldoze every time you dig a pit of a sweet potato, just pick a root diameter and plant it, just that bit of wet soil, hoping to grow another sweet potato." This matter, if Ding Gui hadn't reminded me, I wouldn't have thought of it, so let's do it! ”

Hearing that it was Ding Gui who mentioned it, most people actually agreed with it, after all, Ding Gui is really not what he used to be these days, and the suggestions he put forward are very practical.

However, some people felt uncomfortable when they heard that it was he who put forward the opinion, such as Ding De, the second eldest of the Ding family, was one of them.

I don't know why, once there is a conflict between brothers, they will hate each other more than enemies.

Ding De is in this situation now, how he looks at Ding Gui is not pleasing to the eye, and he can't wait to pick him up, and then drive him out of this desert escape team to feel comfortable.

In his own words, Ding Gui is the most incompetent and stupid of the three brothers of their Ding family.

What is he Ding Gui called, he pretends to be an elephant with onions in his pig's nose.

"I don't agree." Ding De held the hoe in his hand and stood up straight: "Ding Gui was not very good at planting a farmer when he was in the village before, and now why do you want to plant the roots back, there is no water at all, and it is a waste to plant it, why don't you take it back directly and still be worth a meal?" If you want me to say, he just doesn't know how to pretend to understand. ”

Seeing that the two brothers of the Ding family were about to carry it again, some good deeds also joined the fire: "I also think this matter is unreliable." ”

"That's it, Ding De is right, this root can be boiled and eaten when you take it back, it's better than eating tree bark, right? But if you plant it back, wouldn't that be the same as throwing it away in vain? ”

Seeing that some people were gossiping about their opposition, some of the people who had promised before began to be tempted!

After all, whether you can live at the moment is the most important thing, don't look at some sweet potatoes now, but you can't waste it!

Seeing that there are not a few people who support him, Ding De has to sarcastically say two sentences: "Third child, I said that if you don't understand in the future, don't pretend to understand, just what you can know in your brain, don't be embarrassed by the old Ding family." ”

Ding Rong saw that someone supported the second brother at this time, so he naturally chose to take sides, and pretended to speak in a deep voice: "Third brother, your second brother is not wrong, don't embarrass the old Ding family if you have nothing to do in the future." ”

Ding Gui was so angry that he only gritted his teeth, he couldn't bear it anymore, and smiled: "The eldest brother and the second brother didn't embarrass the old Ding family, your face is all for yourself." ”

"What do you say?"

"Third child, do you dare to scold?"

The eldest and second eldest of the Ding family saw that Ding Gui dared to make them unable to get off the stage in front of the big guys, so they paid it back, and immediately took a hoe and stepped forward to beat someone.

"I'll see who dares."

At this critical juncture, Ding Xiaodie turned around and saw the Geng Nursing Home not far away, she quickly ran over and pulled out the knife he was carrying at his waist, and the small figure stood in front of his father, the tip of the knife only pointed at the two fierce people who were about to pounce.

Although she is thin and small, the knife in her hand has no effect at all, but because she knows how to pull the knife to protect her father at a young age, it really scared Ding Rong and Ding De.

This meal gave the village chief of Laifu and Geng Huyuan time.

The two rushed up, one by one, and unloaded their hoes!

"What do you two want to do? Ding Rong Dingde, you two are blind or blind, open your dog's eyes wide, that's your own brother. Do you really want to hold a hoe? Want to kill someone? Let me tell you, if this kind of thing happens again in the future, you two will get out, our escape team in Aozi Village doesn't want you to join the gang, anyway, you have thought about leaving. ”

Lai Fuqi didn't come anywhere, and threw the hoes of the two to the ground: "This sweet potato field can't be dug anymore, I have to ask Master Lu to know if you two are qualified to eat." ”

Ding Rong and Ding De were dumbfounded, they originally wanted to teach Ding Gui a lesson, but they didn't expect to push them into the pit instead, what else can they do now, and hurriedly knelt on the ground and begged the village chief to come to Fu!

Here, Geng Guardian crouched down, stretched out his hand, and said gently, "Fluttershy, give me back the knife." ”

Ding Xiaodie's hand holding the knife trembled a little, in the eyes of others, she was nervous and frightened, but in fact, she didn't expect the knife to be so heavy, and her little withered arm couldn't support it.

At this time, she held the knife in both hands and returned it to Geng Huyuan.

Looking at her young father's actions, coupled with the trembling little hands and tense little face, she felt that she had taken on everything she shouldn't have to bear at such a young age, Geng Huyuan stretched out his big hand and stroked the top of her head with great appreciation: "Don't be afraid, it's okay!" ”

For the first time, a slight smile appeared on that serious and stiff face.

This little girl is really not simple.

At this time, Ding Guicai hurriedly held his daughter in his arms, his eyes were moist, and his body was trembling.

Not because he was angry, but because he was afraid, and when Fluttershy suddenly got in front of him, his mind went blank for a moment, if Ding Rong and Ding De really smashed down with a hoe at that time, what would Fluttershy do?

He feels a pain in his heart when he thinks about it now, and that feeling of fear may not be erased for the rest of his life.
