Of course, the two families feel that it is good, being an apprentice has the convenience of being an apprentice, and the helper has the benefits of a helper, no matter what Father Xu plans, they all want to stuff the child over, as long as they can stay with him, one day they can learn his melon planting skills.

But Daddy Xu was not sure: "Girl, what should I do if I can't sell it when I plant so much at once?" ”

"No, the melons we grow, even the Melon Seed Optimization Research Institute thinks it is good, and we will ship it out to sell, and we will definitely not worry about no business."

Xu Yin has absolute trust in the melon seeds produced by the system.

Therefore, this year's two crops of melons, a lot of melons have been left as seeds. Even if she can't come back from school in the future, the melon seeds collected are enough for her father to raise seedlings.

The system did not fail her.

A year later, the 20 acres of sandy land contracted by the old Xu family that no one wanted, and the super-grade watermelons planted were advertised in advance by the Melon Seed Optimization Research Institute as a case.

That's another story.

Right now, it's only time to get to the contract.

There are more than 20 acres of barren sandy land in Xujia Village that no one cultivates, and it has been barren there.

Before the field was divided into households, because it was a collective farm, it was a share of labor, and people would be arranged to plant some sweet potatoes, and the yield was not high, but it was better than wasting it there.

But when it comes to dividing the fields, this land is no one's interest, and it doesn't work to catch lots, so I would rather have the muddy land by the river beach, so that I can grow some taro, water chestnuts, and mushrooms, which can be used as both staple food and vegetables. Pull to the city *** sweet potatoes sell much better.

The village collective had no choice but to be deserted first.

Hearing that Xu Yin's family wanted to contract this batch of sandy land, the old branch secretary ran over excitedly: "Guoshun, do you really want to contract those sandy lands?" ”

"What is I trying to contract, it's my daughter, she's addicted to watermelon research, not to mention that good watermelons come out of the sand, let me contract to try."

Father Xu said, took the old branch secretary's pipe, and filled him with some tobacco leaves.

"This tobacco leaf was brought by my daughter from Tongcheng, you can smoke it."

The old branch secretary took a puff, and his eyes lit up: "This tobacco leaf is good, isn't it cheap?" ”

"It's expensive or not, that's all there is to it, it's gone after smoking, and my daughter won't let me smoke more, saying it hurts my lungs."

The old branch secretary glanced at him, and said in his heart that this old guy was full of ostentatious tone, when he couldn't hear that he was showing off.

He took a puff of his cigarette with satisfaction and turned back to the topic: "So, your family contracted these sandy lands to grow watermelons?" More than 20 acres, did you plant it? ”

"My daughter asked me to contract first, and then I hired someone if I couldn't plant it."

"Then you can't do it now, right? It will be too late to contract at the beginning of spring next year, and it will save half a year's contracting fee. ”

"That's not good, Yin Yin said that the sand sweet potatoes should be planted delicious, it is best to mix some pond mud, while there is not much work in the field now, I will pick more pond mud and fertilizer. You help me ask, which strong young man is free, come and help me pick it, and I will give two cents for a hundred pounds of pond mud. ”

Two cents is a lot, and many young men have come to sign up when they hear the news.

They were responsible for picking up the pond mud, Father Xu took the two apprentices to make fertilizer, and Mother Xu wore a straw hat and sat in the shade of the tree on the side to be responsible for digging out the money.

Xu Yin exchanged five bags of watermelon seeds in one go, spent all the energy points accumulated some time ago, and harvested 10,000 system brand watermelon seeds and a "Sandy Watermelon Planting Skills Manual".

Xu is energy points are bold, and the system mall also brushed out a limited-time free "Mountain Fruit Tree Planting Skills Manual".

When Xu Yin saw the mountain fruit trees, she couldn't help but think of her uncle's house, so she quickly clicked to buy it.

What could be more affordable than a book on tips for making a fortune without money?!

The pond mud fertilizer method is what is said in the "Sandy Watermelon Planting Skills Manual" given by the system, and Xu Yin copied it down and told her father one by one.

I didn't expect that Daddy Xu would understand the knowledge of agriculture at all, whether it was pond mud and fertilizer, or nutrient soil configuration, it was quite decent to operate with the two apprentices, and there was no need for Xu Yin to follow him step by step.

Xu Yin stopped caring about the melon field, took the time to go to her uncle's house, broke the planting skills of mountain fruit trees, and told him about them.

Uncle Geng was worried that the peach trees in his own mountain were not growing well, and when he saw that other people's families had planted apricots, he also wanted to pull out the peach trees and replace them with apricot trees.

After listening to the planting method taught by my niece, I decided not to pull it out and continue to grow peaches. After all, it cost a lot of money to buy peach saplings, but if there is another way, who wants to make money!

Isn't it just a matter of spending some time to make fertilizer, cutting branches, and waking up to wait, and the mountain farmers are still afraid of wasted work? If you don't try it, how do you know if it will work? In this trial, the first 10,000 yuan household in Daao Village was tried.

After returning from her grandmother's house, Xu Yin continued to make clothes for the villagers to earn pocket money. In addition to the tuition and miscellaneous fees and living expenses for the next semester, she also wants to save some money to go to the imperial capital to see what materials can enrich her small private treasury.

In the middle of the busy schedule, the days passed by the end of August.

The remaining acre of late-maturing watermelons is ripe, and the rectification of 20 acres of sandy land is also on the right track.

Xu Yin is about to embark on a journey of study and set off for the imperial capital.

This month, she received two letters from Fu Lingling, one was delivered to her home by the postman, and the other was recently, Xu Jianjun passed by the post office and brought it back.

"Who is this? Just live in the county, and write to you? ”

"Former classmates."

"That's the acquaintance? I thought pen pals were there. Since you know something, why don't you talk about it at home? From the county mailbox to the mailbox in our town for at least two or three days, riding a bicycle for many hours, can you write letters? ”

Xu Yin glanced at him: What do you know!

Xu Jianjun rolled his eyes: "Yes!" I don't understand, you girls like literature and romance. ”

"How do you know it's a girl?"

"Just look at the handwriting, if this is written by the master, I will be punished for picking a dung bucket for three days." Xu Jianjun pointed to the envelope.

“……”

Xu Yin didn't bother to pay attention to him.

But there was still something to trouble him, so I didn't scold him.

"Tell me when you go to the county."

"What? Are you going too? I'm going to go tomorrow, and a couple of teachers from the night school bought 500 catties of rice at my house, and I have to send it to them. ”

"That's right, help me bring something to my classmates."

Xu Yin prepared a few sets of children's clothes, her own newly harvested rice, and a set of college entrance examination materials carefully sorted out, as well as a few prose and poetry collections that her sister-in-law bought at Tongcheng Bookstore.

Fu Lingling said good news in the letter: This month, the provincial newspaper opened a column asking her to write essays, and the manuscript fee has increased a lot compared with the past.

In this way, the income is higher than going to work in the factory, and the time is free, so she can take care of the dragon and phoenix fetus at home with peace of mind.

She also said that her sister-in-law was pregnant, and sometimes her eyes were gloomy when she looked at the dragon and phoenix fetus, and she was worried that after her sister-in-law had her own son, she would not be waiting to see the dragon and phoenix fetus, and she had recently moved out with the dragon and phoenix fetus.

She lives in her grandmother's old house, which is a little old, but it is quiet, and there are not so many miscellaneous things at home, which is very suitable for her to write.
