Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Great Plan for Grain Varieties (II)
As the head of a village, what a great credit it is to feed the people in his village, and Village Chief Yun has already thought of the smiling faces of the villagers when they have a bumper harvest a year later.
"Da Jiang, give you the money to your uncle, let's go back." The village chief put away the excitement on his face, asked the eldest son to give the silver money to Yun Yi, Yun Yi confiscated it, turned his head to look at his father, Yun Old Man looked at the silver money given by Da Jiang, and took four silver coins (400 Wen) from it, and let the other party put it away, the village chief knew that his cousin took care of his own family, and he didn't say much, this friendship The village chief remembered it in his heart, thanked his son and walked out of the house with his things.
"Hey, brother village chief, are you leaving? Don't go, my daughter-in-law has finished cooking, and I will leave after eating, and when I come to the house, can my sister-in-law send you a meal? Mrs. Zhao came out of the stove room and saw the village chief and his son walking towards the gate with things on their backs, and hurriedly said goodbye.
"No, sister-in-law, my family's meal is also ready, I'm not in a hurry to eat seeds, I came in a hurry without eating, I'd better go back with Dajiang to eat, if I don't go back to cook more, the old woman will change her mind to talk to me~ haha." The village chief smiled and politely rejected Mrs. Zhao.
"Haha, that's okay, then my sister-in-law won't keep you." Mrs. Zhao knew that this was a joke by the village chief.
After saying goodbye to Mrs. Zhao and Old Man Yun, the village chief and his son walked to his house, the excitement in his heart has not gone down yet, he has to hurry back to have lunch, and then plant the seeds in the ground with his son to feel at ease.
.......
All the families in the village, some people who saw the seeds brought by the old man Yun in the field today, went back and told the people in the family about it, some felt that this matter was a good thing, and those who had never seen the world felt that they spent money in vain, and the seeds were like that, how could it be possible to double the grain?
Of course, there are many sober people, and basically several families come to the Yun family with food and silver money in the evening.
In the past few days, the seeds of the Yun family have almost changed, and the onlookers saw that at least more than 50 families had planted the new grain seeds of the old man Yun's family, and some of these onlookers couldn't sit still, so they hurriedly took the silver money and seeds to the Yun family, but the total of the four kinds of grain of the Yun family was only 480 catties, and about 300 catties were exchanged for about 50 households in the village, and the remaining 100 catties were more than 100 catties.
The Yun family's twenty-five acres of land have been planted one after another during this period of time, and the rice in the paddy field has also been harvested, and the old man Yun originally wanted to take some rice seeds and let Yunxi "cast the spell" and plant them in the five acres of five fields that had just been harvested, and then remembered that there was no rice in the seeds that let Yunxi "cast the spell" before, if the rice that their family harvested next year is different from the people in the village, it is easy to make mistakes, and finally these five acres of paddy fields still use ordinary seeds.
The other twenty-five acres of fields were planted with soybeans, cotton, wheat and corn (millet), and Yunxi used each of the seeds improved by the ability to plant one acre more than other people's families, so that the people in the village who had seeds were more at ease, after all, if the Yun family did not have enough seeds, it is estimated that basically all of them would be planted with new seeds.
Of course, this is just on the surface, in the land of the village next door, Old Man Yun arranged for Yun Yi and Yun Bo to go to the town to find a tooth shop to come forward, recruit some people who are not from nearby villages, and go to Taolin Village to farm.
In mid-August, a few days before the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15, Yunnan, who had returned home after a long absence, and his wife Tong took the carriage arranged by the shopkeeper Tong to Yunjia Village.
In the carriage, a man was wearing a cotton yellow overlapping dress, with delicate embroidery on the dress, with a few good-looking beaded flowers on his head, curved willow eyebrows, big almond eyes, a straight nose, just the right lips, and a hint of girlish coquettishness on his face, which was very good-looking and cute.
This woman is Yunnan's wife Tong, who looks sixteen or seventeen years old, and her expression is a little nervous, as if she is worried about something.
"Brother Nan, do you think our mother won't like me, after all, I didn't serve in front of my mother-in-law, what if my mother-in-law gets angry with me?" Tong looked nervously at Yunnan opposite.
Yunnan gently patted Tong's hand and said softly: "Yu'er, don't worry, our mother is not that kind of person, although we went back to the town after we got married, you don't have much contact with your mother, but our mother is good to you, twice a year, as long as the second brother goes home to study in the county, our mother will let the second brother bring something to us." ”
"Hey, it's not that I don't come back often, I'm afraid that my mother-in-law will be angry." Tong listened to Yunnan's words and felt a little relieved.
Tong Shi seemed to think of something again, and then asked Yunnan again: "Brother Nan, you said that you don't do the work in the town anymore, will our mother blame you?" ”
"Hey, Yu'er, don't think too much, I don't work under my father-in-law, it's because I want to do something by myself, my parents and grandparents are enlightened people, you don't need to worry about it, good." After Yunnan finished speaking, he also touched Tong's head.
This remark made Tong's face red, his face was as red as if he was about to drop blood, and he said coquettishly: "Oh, I'm ashamed, you...... Hmph, ignore you. ”
"Cloud account room, there is Yunjia Village in front, how do you think I should go?"
At this time, the coachman outside the carriage asked Yunnan out loud, and Tong, who was still shy, was no longer embarrassed, and hurriedly signaled Yunnan to answer.
Yunnan Junlang's face still had a smile that he didn't have time to retract, so he immediately restrained his expression, pulled the curtain of the car, and said to the coachman: "Uncle Li, just walk along the village road after entering the village." ”
"Hey, okay." After Uncle Li answered, he drove the carriage to the village.
……
The Yun family, these days, the old man Yun took Yun Yi and Yun Bo, but within two days of planting the family's fields, the old man Yun and his two sons were also tired enough, if it weren't for Yunxi to put some spiritual springs in the well water from time to time, it is estimated that the three of them would be tired and out of phase.
During this time, Yunxi would come to her father and grandfather and uncle every day with her father and grandfather and second uncle, and give her mother the mung bean soup that she got up in the morning.
When Yunxi first delivered mung bean soup to her grandfather and second uncle, she found that the plow pulled behind her old ox was a little different from the knowledge she had learned in the book in her previous life, and her grandfather had a lot of trouble using it.
The wheat straw left in the field at home is still underground, and several people in the family first turned over the ground, and then turned over these, and some of the wheat straws buried in the soil turned out, the family bought a cow, and when sowing the seeds, the old man Yun led the cow in front, Yun Yi controlled the "straight plow" in the back, and the second uncle Yun planted seeds in the back, and when this cage of land was cultivated to the ground, when he returned, this "straight plow" was very inconvenient and needed to be lifted by two people and turned around to be used again.
When Yunxi came to deliver mung bean soup, he found that this thing was a little different from what he had learned before the end of the world, and he remembered that there should be a more convenient farm tool such as "Quyuan Plow".
However, she didn't know what it looked like, and she couldn't help her grandfather and her father, but fortunately she had cattle at home, and she planted the land and seeds in a few days.
When Yunnan and Tong entered the house, they saw that Yunxi was sitting in the courtyard with his little head in his hands, as if he was thinking about something, and he didn't notice the two of them.
"Sister, what are you thinking?" Yunnan looked at this sister who was fourteen years younger than himself funny, and his eyes revealed doting, although this sister does not meet often, but Yunnan still likes this sister very much.
Yunxi was thinking about the "Quyuan Plow" when he heard a nice male voice overhead, which was both familiar and unfamiliar.
Yunxi came back from his thoughts, raised his head, and saw a young man about one meter eight tall, wearing a blue shirt and a handsome face, from the other party's big eyes that were extremely similar to his father, Yunxi shouted in surprise: "Big brother, are you back?" ”
Yunnan was a little surprised, this sister actually recognized herself at once, he thought that the child had a bad memory, and he hadn't been home for a long time, Yunxi must have forgotten himself, but in Yunxi's surprised little face, Yunnan's heart warmed slightly.
