On this day, Li Rui returned home from the field, Ye Lan also cooked, Ye Lan saw him tired, and couldn't help but feel distressed: "Xiaolin, sister-in-law knows that you are in a hurry, but no matter what, you have to eat well, you see that you have lost a lot of weight in the past two days." ”

Li Rui smiled: "Sister-in-law, I'm fine, don't worry." ”

In the past few days, Li Rui really hasn't slept well, he has checked all the soil, water sources, fertilizers, microorganisms, pests and diseases, but still hasn't found out what went wrong. Although Li Rui is a rare scholar in Jiangmen University in the past 100 years, after all, he is not a bachelor born in agriculture, and it is normal to be overstretched when he encounters special professional problems.

"Xiaolin, sister-in-law knows that you can do it, but you have a specialization in the art industry, you can't force yourself to do anything, right?" Ye Lan sighed and said: "Others don't understand you, but my sister-in-law knows you very well, I can see at a glance whether you are good or not." ”

Saying that, Ye Lan went into the kitchen and brought out a bowl of pork rib soup from it, and said with a smile: "This is the pork rib soup I stewed for you this morning, you can drink it." ”

Li Rui glanced at Ye Lan, and his heart suddenly warmed. Although, Li Rui has always regarded Ye Lan as his sister-in-law, but as the two of them come into contact more and more, this relationship has become more and more delicate.

Ye Lan knew that her husband Lu Guangyou would never come back, but the traditional concept of marrying a chicken and a dog and a dog had always fettered her, so that she never dared to think about Li Rui, the "little uncle".

Li Rui took the pork rib soup and said with a smile: "Thank you, sister-in-law." ”

Ye Lan glared at him and said, "Stinky boy, you are still polite to your sister-in-law." ”

Li Rui grinned and said, "With my sister-in-law's bowl of soup, I promise to find out all the problems." ”

"Mmmm, sister-in-law believes in you!" After seeing Li Rui drink the pork rib soup, Ye Lan said with a smile: "Okay, you are busy with your affairs now, and my sister-in-law has nothing to help, I can only try to make good food and make up for your body." ”

"Sister-in-law, don't work so hard, I can take care of myself, but you, you should pay attention to your body, don't work so hard, there will be me at home in the future." Li Rui said.

When Ye Lan heard this, her heart warmed, and she thought how good it would be that the person she married was Li Rui.

At this time, Lao Lu and his wife also came back from the field, and when they saw Ye Lan talking to Li Rui with a ruddy face, they also guessed a little bit of Ye Lan's thoughts in their hearts.

Lao Lu recognized Ye Lanzai's daughter-in-law very much, and it can even be said that after Lu Guangyou was imprisoned, he treated her as his own daughter-in-law, and never treated her as an outsider. And all along, deep in their hearts, the old couple also agreed to Ye Lan's remarriage. But in addition to Ye Lan's own reluctance to remarry, aside from the old couple's extravagant hope that their son Lu Guangyou will come back one day, another important reason that bothers them is that the old Lu family is indeed too poor.

Remarriage needs to bear the economic cost, once Ye Lan leaves the old Lu family, it will not only be as simple as losing a labor force, but it can even be said that the pillar of the pillar has fallen. At the beginning, the old couple also put forward the idea of "pulling a gang". The original meaning of the so-called "gang trap" refers to a form of carriage tethered to a horse trap. The general carriage is composed of a horse and a horse that pulls a string of horses, and the position of the string set of horses is directly in front of the horses, which is called a set of one main and one hanging, also called two sets of carriages. If there is a lot of weight or the road is not easy to walk, in the case of one main and one hanging two horses not moving, it is necessary to hang another pair of sets on the outside of the skewers, and then add a horse with a sheath. In this way, this carriage has become a set of "one master, one hanging, one gang", also called three sets of carriages, and the horse in this set of carriages, it is "pulling the gang", helping the meaning of the set. In some poor places, when the husband is seriously ill and cannot support his wife or support the elderly, after obtaining the husband's consent, he or she finds a good-hearted man to take care of the whole family, and after the husband dies, he becomes a formal husband and wife and continues to live, which is called "".

In the suburbs, where people are like cattle and horses, it is not easy to live. After experiencing the rule of "red pockmarks", the suburbs of Shanghai have been in dire straits. Despite the peace and recuperation of the suburbs in recent decades, poverty has never really been far away. When the Third Reich was first established, the suburbs were still full of hunger, and people had to bear heavy taxes, but also had to be forced to perform all kinds of labor and military service, and they could die at every turn. At that time, it was common for more than half of the families in a tribe to be widows, and even if the husband was lucky enough to be alive, the proportion of people who were disabled was more than 70%. Therefore, from that time on, old customs such as "gang set", "transfer marriage", and family exchange were very common. The so-called "transfer marriage" generally means that the elder brother dies early and the younger brother marries the sister-in-law, or the younger brother dies early and the elder brother marries the younger sibling. "Changing relatives" means that due to lack of economy and inability to marry a daughter-in-law, they let their own daughter exchange with another daughter-in-law.

At that time, the "gang" family was in the tribal area, but it was more recognized than the Ming media being married. When a woman is unable to sustain her children because of her husband's disability, old age, or poverty caused by natural and man-made disasters, finding a able-bodied man to help support the family is often tacitly approved by people out of sympathy.

Although Lao Lu and his family spent a lot of effort to persuade Ye Lan, Ye Lan resolutely disagreed with the "gangster" and ran the whole family alone. Lao Lu saw it in his eyes, and it hurt even more in his heart. However, now that Li Rui is here, not only has the economy of the old Lu family improved greatly, but also driven the entire tribe to make a fortune.

Lu's father and Lu's mother have been worried about Li Rui's lifelong affairs, but after talking about several girls, Li Rui just didn't look down on them, and slowly, the old couple focused on Ye Lan. At the beginning, Lu's mother did not agree to match Li Rui and Ye Lan, after all, the two planned to treat Li Rui as their son and provide for them in the future. Now that the conditions of the old Lu family are good, it will not sound good to talk about "transfer marriage" again. But then Aunt Pu's words made her change her opinion. Aunt Pu said that since Li Rui has arrived at the Lu family, and Ye Lan does not plan to remarry, she simply recognizes Ye Lan as her goddaughter and recruits a son-in-law, so that she will neither mess up the seniority nor violate the etiquette system, the key is that Ye Lan and Li Rui can be filial piety in front of the old couple, why not.

"Mom and Dad, you're back." Ye Lan turned around and smiled at Lao Lu.

Lao Lu nodded and smiled, and said, "I'm back, Ye Lan, you're tired from a day's work, so rest for a while." ”

"Dad, I'm not tired, the meal is ready, let's eat."

Immediately, everyone ate together, and after eating, Li Rui was going to go to the field, but at this time, Liu Jianmin called over and said with a smile: "Brother, my brother has invited an expert to you, he is holding a seminar in the past two days, and he will probably arrive the day after tomorrow." ”

Li Rui smiled when he heard it and said, "No, I didn't call you, how do you know that the matter on my side hasn't been resolved?" ”

Liu Jianmin smiled: "I don't know what kind of virtue you kid have?" You've always reported good news and not bad news, but fortunately you called me warmly yesterday afternoon, otherwise I wouldn't know. ”

"Hey, this warmth is really good."

"Don't blame her, anyway, the expert has already made an appointment for you, so let him see it."

"Cheng, then I'll wait for the agricultural experts you invited then."

Just after hanging up the phone, Niu Dasheng and Xi Qing came to his house.

"Xiaolin, I invited you an expert from the agricultural station of the factory, and they promised to come tomorrow." Niu Dasheng said with a smile.

Li Rui was originally very depressed, he knew that these were all well-intentioned, but he was a little caught off guard by inviting agricultural experts to come over without his consent.

However, when he heard that it was Hong Ji from the agricultural station of the factory, Li Rui felt better, after all, he had a good feeling about Hong Ji, an agricultural expert, and it was the Morinda that Hong Ji suggested he planted.

After chatting at home for a while, after sending Niu Dasheng and Xi Qing away, Li Rui didn't go to the field anymore, and went directly to take a nap.

The next morning, Hong Ji arrived at the Nong 2 tribe, and for Hong Ji, he was very willing to help Li Rui.

After going to Li Rui's house, after a few people greeted each other for a while, Li Rui took Hong Ji to the field, Hong Ji looked at the growth of Morinda in the ground, and was also surprised, and studied in the field for a long time, and Hong Ji came out of the field.

"Teacher Hong, what's wrong?"

Hong Ji shook his head and said: "Your situation is also very strange, there is no problem with planting row spacing or something, but I am curious, the fertility of your soil is much higher than other surrounding soils, why is this?" ”

Li Rui said: "To tell you the truth, I specially improved the fertility of the soil before planting. ”

"I see." Immediately, Hong Ji sighed and said: "Actually, I haven't figured out the situation yet, otherwise I will stay here for the next two days and then observe the situation." ”

"Done!" Li Rui nodded.

Immediately, several people returned home, and Li Rui asked his sister-in-law Ye Lan to arrange a place for Hong Ji.

The next morning, Liu Jianmin personally drove two experts to the tribe, and after some introductions, everyone went to the field.

I have to admit that the experts invited by Liu Jianmin are very different from the experts in the factory, and these two guys brought some instruments with them after they came.

When they arrived in the field, Li Rui and the others did not bother, and after more than two hours, they waited for them to take a look before leaving the field.

"Brother, I'll tell you the truth, the two of us studied in the field, and we didn't see anything wrong."

Everyone felt even more weird when they heard it, after all, even Liu Jianmin spent a lot of money to invite experts and didn't see anything wrong, it seems that these Morinda are innocent and hopeless.

"Brother, don't be discouraged, since there is nothing wrong with the others, we have taken some soil samples from your field, and when the time comes, we will take them back for testing, it is very likely that the problem will be here."

At this time, Wen Wen asked: "How many days will it take for the results to come out?" ”

The two looked at each other and said, "It will take five or six days at the earliest." ”

"I definitely can't rely on these guys, it seems that I still have to figure out my own way." Li Rui thought in his heart, if it was five or six days, his cultivation seedlings would almost be finished.

However, no matter what, it can't be in vain, so at noon, Li Rui invited these experts to have dinner at the hotel in the factory area. After they were full of wine and food, Li Rui prepared a few pheasants for everyone, which made them very embarrassed.

"Brother, to be honest, we're a little ashamed to accept these things from you, and we didn't solve the problem for you when we came over." An expert said.

Li Rui waved his hand and said with a smile: "Teacher Gao, you can't say that, at least you can come to help me, I'm already very happy, and I've worked hard for you, this little thing is nothing, you can bring it." ”

The expert thought that this guy was really doing a good job, so he sighed and nodded and said, "Brother, let's do this, after we go back, this soil test result will come out as soon as possible in these two days." ”

"Yes, we'll get it out as soon as possible, so that we can rest assured that we can take what you sent." The other said with a smile.

"Then thank you two teachers." Li Rui said with a smile.

Immediately, several people walked out of the hotel, and at this time, Liu Jianmin whispered beside him: "Brother, don't worry, they have all said so, and they will definitely get the results as soon as possible, and I will urge them when I go back, and strive to give you the results in these two days." ”
