But it's a pity that Shen Yuling's thoughts are completely different from the thoughts of Shen Laosi and his wife, she can't convince her father, and she can't convince her mother, and the matter is finally over.

The days went by like this, it seemed that it was just a blink of an eye, and it was the end of the year again, because this year's crop harvest was not very good, and Fang Youshun's allowance almost bought food, and he was unable to buy new clothes for any of the brothers and sisters of the Shen family, so he barely bought some sugar in order to reward Shen Yusleeve and Shen Yulin for being admitted to the top five, and after the two of them were divided, the rest was divided equally among Shen Yuwen's brothers and sisters like last year, and these pieces of sugar became the only sweetness of these brothers and sisters this year.

After the New Year, everyone was a year older, and at the beginning of February, a child's cry sounded in the courtyard of the Shen family, and Shen Yusleeve had an extra sister since then.

Her father named this sister Shen Yusui, the ear of the ear of wheat, because it didn't snow too much last year, her father hopes that this year's wheat can still produce good ears of wheat.

Shen Yusleeve was stunned at that time.

Is the name so casual? Just to have a good harvest?

Shen Yusleeve looked at her sister who looked like a red monkey in swaddling clothes, and couldn't help but ask Grandma Fang: "What about me, why am I called Shen Yusleeve?" What does this sleeve represent? ”

"What does that mean? It's when you were just born, the small one can be wrapped with one sleeve of your mother's clothes, and your father thinks that you are born strangely small, so it's called a small sleeve. Grandma Fang smiled and said the origin of her name.

Shen Yusleeve grinned when he heard it, and he couldn't believe that his name was so casually named.

It's a shame that she was very proud of her name when she was in school, after all, her name is very eye-catching among the flowers and plants in the village, such as Da Ni, Er Ni, Zhao Di, and Lai Brother, but it turned out that it was only because she was born with a small sleeve that could be wrapped?

That's too casual, right?

Shen Yusleeve was a little unhappy, but the child was forgetful, and she left it all behind after a few days, and at the same time, there was a sensational news in the village.

One night, her father Shen Jinggui and her grandfather suddenly started talking at the dinner table.

It is said that the farms in the east have been mechanized this year, with the introduction of several tractors and several pumps, and now the farms in the east are being diverted to irrigate water.

It is said that with these machines, even if there is a drought in the future, as long as there is water in the Yellow River, the crops will no longer lack water or even die of drought.

Although Shen Yusleeve was ignorant and didn't know what these things called machines looked like, she could see how excited and envious her father was.

Of course, the people who envy the farm in the east are not just Shen Jinggui, but almost all of them, so that they can water the crops without waiting for the lord to rain, who doesn't envy it? .

Although the tractors and pumps are all farms and have nothing to do with the villagers, people still can't help but talk about it for a long time, and some people are even privately calculating how much harvest their team needs to have, and how many days they can afford to buy such a machine.

If their own team also has these two things, won't they have to look at God's face to eat anymore?

And this news stirred not only the hearts of adults, but even the children who went to school were excited every day.

They imagined what the so-called tractor would look like, and what the water pump would look like, but they couldn't come up with what it looked like.

And as the days passed, when people were tired of talking about the big news, the weather was dry again, and the seepage pit of the people behind the village could no longer be used by the whole village, and even the Yellow River was cut off, but even if the flow was broken, the bottom of the river was enough for people to eat, otherwise, the people here were afraid that they would not even have water to drink.

When the wheat was harvested, because God did not supply enough water when the wheat was headed, the summer grain production of each squad and brigade was seriously reduced, but in the farms in the east, the summer grain was harvested, and the firm and full ears of wheat were born here when there was a drought everywhere, and a large batch of patriotic grain was sacrificed.

Not long after receiving the summer grain, a notice was issued in the commune to dissolve the canteen.

As soon as this was announced, the various teams quickly distributed the food to each family according to the method of seven labors and three people, and from then on, people no longer had to touch the spoon in a big pot.

At the same time, each squad also allocated some self-reserved land to the members, and the commune strongly encouraged and supported people to open up the wasteland that was idle, so that each squad could have more land and collect a little more food when the time came.

In this way, Shen Yusleeve ended the days of digging wild vegetables and bringing them to school every day, and changed it to go home from school at noon to eat.

And Fang Youshun, who was originally planning to take his children away again in the summer vacation because of this year's poor harvest, also concentrated on tinkering with his own land.

The pot of sweet potato seedlings he brought back last year in the yard produced dozens of catties of sweet potatoes in the autumn, and the yield was much higher than that of wheat or something, but at that time, because he still had to eat in the canteen, he didn't have any land for himself, and he didn't dare to plant too much in the yard, so he only left a few sweet potatoes as seeds, and the rest were all eaten by the children.

Of course, in order not to delay the planting season, he did not wait for the sweet potato seedlings to grow and branch slowly, and then pinch them down and plant them in the ground, but directly pedaled three rounds to the place where he had bought sweet potato seedlings and bought one or three rounds of sweet potato seedlings back, and planted them in his family and his daughter-in-law's own land.

Afraid of drought with these sweet potato seedlings, Fang Youshun always gets up early in the morning every day, and brings the pots and pots at home to the Yellow River to bring water to the ground, hoping that these sweet potato seedlings can compete for more energy, and when the time comes, more sweet potatoes will come out.

Early in the morning, Fang Youshun had dinner and pedaled a tricycle to the Yellow River to bring water as usual, and after eating, Grandma Fang instructed Shen Yusleeve's brothers and sisters to lock the door when they went to school, and went to her daughter's side to pick up Shen Yusui, who had been five months old, and called Shen Yujun by the way, so that the couple could take their two eldest children to work.

Now Shen Yuwen and Shen Yuzhen can already earn five jobs, and today's jobs are no longer as useless as when they ate in the canteen, and now one more job will give them one more food, so why don't you go?

Now Fang Yan's husband and wife and the children's breakfast is no longer eaten in the Fang family's yard, mainly because Shen Yusui still has to feed, Fang Yan is very tired from taking care of the children overnight, and she is not willing to rush here early in the morning.

Moreover, Shen Jinggui can cook, and Shen Yuzhen's skills on the stove are also okay, so they simply eat directly at home in the morning. When they are full, send the two little ones to Grandma Fang's side, or Grandma Fang comes here to pick up the two children, and they can go directly to work.

Shen Yulin didn't know what was going on today, he devoured a few bites after the two adults left, and saw that Shen Yusleeve was still eating unhurriedly, and asked her to go to school by herself after a while, so she hurried away.

This kind of thing has happened more than once, and Shen Yusleeve has long been accustomed to it, looking at his back in a hurry with no anger, and continuing to eat his own food slowly.
