After reading the letter, Village Chief Ning had a plan in his heart.

The letter said that Ning Changrong was going to promote the way of pumpkin planting, and he planned to start from Taixi County, first, most of the grassroots cadres here were his people, and second, because he was familiar with this side and his land was also here.

After reading the letter, Village Chief Ning held the notebook in his hand and held it tightly.

……

After returning home, Village Chief Ning sent someone to summon all the big guys to his house.

Ning Dayou asked, "Uncle Village Chief, what are you calling us for?" ”

Ning Shuiqiang changed one leg to support his body, and the days were getting better and better, everyone had a livelihood, and they had enough money, and they also bought some land, "Everyone has been busy with spring plowing these days, and they are too tired to do it, Uncle Village Chief, you should tell me first if you have something." ”

Village Chief Ning cleared his throat and stomped on the ground with his cane, "Quiet, there's a letter from Evergreen." ”

After Village Chief Ning finished speaking, everyone was quiet.

Holding a booklet in his hand, Village Chief Ning explained, "Evergreen needs our help with something, are you willing?" ”

The big guy is babbling and expressing his determination.

"Then how can you not be willing, it will not be a loss of conscience, the village chief said that if there is something, you can say it directly!" Ning Dayou patted his chest and said.

Ning Shuiqiang also continued: "If there is anything, you can say it!" If I give up this life, I will do it for Evergreen! ”

"Uncle Village Chief, don't hang the appetite of the big guy, let's talk about it." Li Dafeng shouted.

Village Chief Ning was very satisfied with the attitude of the big guy, his son often corresponded with him, saying that he often dealt with officials in the capital, and Changrong took care of him, and he had already made up his mind that Ning Changrong let his family rebel, and he did not hesitate.

"Everyone's land hasn't been planted yet, right?"

Although everyone doesn't live in the same village anymore, the village chief Ning also knows everyone very well, and every family basically bought land, except for the Gao family, she is the only woman who is busy with business and land, so she can't take care of it.

"Not yet."

"Where can it be so fast?"

"It's still early."

"The business in the city has been delayed for the past few days, so I am busy with the affairs of the fields."

Village Chief Ning took out a booklet, which was the one that had been copied from the notes on pumpkin farming.

"Evergreen wants everyone to help free up some land to grow pumpkins." Village Chief Ning said.

In fact, Ning Changrong didn't say that everyone should vacate the land to plant pumpkins, he just said that he would vacate the land under his name and take half of it to plant pumpkins, but Village Chief Ning felt that if there were more people planting pumpkins, it should be able to promote faster.

Ning Dayou breathed a sigh of relief, "What should I be?" Isn't it just half of the land to grow pumpkins? You can use them all to grow pumpkins! The pumpkin is delicious, what are we not eating? ”

"I'm scared to death, Uncle the village chief, that's it? You've been fishing for a long time, and I thought something big had happened. ”

In fact, everyone invariably thought about the bad place, Ning Changrong has become such a big official, they are just ordinary people, what can they do to help each other? It could only be that Ning Changrong had an accident, but fortunately it was not what they thought.

"Ahem, it's good if the big guy is willing, the seeds will be sent over in a few days, you set aside the land first, this is the method of pumpkin planting, everyone comes over to listen to how to plant it after dinner at night, Mrs. Ding, you followed Wanmin Hou Ye for a while in the pumpkin, you are more experienced, and you will help everyone more when the time comes."

Mrs. Ding's face was full of smiles, "Don't worry, don't worry, if you have any questions, just come and ask me." ”

……

"What's this pumpkin? Isn't it a waste to plant crops and melons if you don't use good land? The melon is not full. ”

As soon as the seeds were in place, Village Chief Ning immediately organized the big guys to work.

He personally came to the land of Ning Changrong's family, recruited all the tenants, and asked them to grow pumpkins.

These tenants had never heard much of pumpkins, so they were naturally reluctant to plant them.

"If Master Ning's family grows pumpkins, we will have no food to eat, and there will be not enough food for tax payment at that time."

"Yes, Old Man Ning, it's not that we don't want to, this ......"

The village chief Ning had a straight face, followed by a few strong guys, "I think of beauty, not everyone is qualified to grow pumpkins, I will circle a piece of land, which is specially used to grow pumpkins, only the people with the best crop skills can come and plant, and the selected people don't have to pay food to the main family this year, as long as they pay the tax." ”

Ning Chengrong deliberately planted pumpkins secretly, looking very serious, and the pumpkin planting field would be deliberately fenced to prevent outsiders from seeing, just to make them curious, rather than forcefully letting them plant it.

People are like this, you feed them directly to other people's mouths, and people are worried that your food is poisonous, if you sneak and don't give him food, he secretly grabs it and wants to eat it.

Originally, they were reluctant to plant pumpkins, but when they heard that they had the selection conditions and they could not pay the grain to the master's family after being selected, everyone was immediately excited, and they raised their hands to say how many crops they had planted.

"The chosen person wants to sign a contract with us," Village Chief Ning thought for a while, and finally came up with it, "Sign a confidentiality agreement!" You are not allowed to take out the slightest bit of the contents, and you are not allowed to pass on the art of growing pumpkins. ”

Everyone has entered, this craft will definitely be passed out, but it is a matter of time, and adding this article is also deliberately arousing everyone's curiosity, and the common people will always think that the big families are secretly planting good things.

"I am willing, Old Man Ning, I have a lot of strength in my hands, and I will be busy in the field from the beginning of my work, and all the crops I serve will grow well."

The so-called confidentiality agreement did not discourage everyone, and the fact that the grain planted after being selected did not have to be handed over to the lord's family was too attractive to them.

Village Chief Ning effortlessly selected a few people with kung fu in their hands to be responsible for planting pumpkins, and the others who were not selected sighed regretfully, and then they were a little curious, what is the pumpkin, and so many crop veterans should be selected to try it out, and outsiders will not be allowed to see it.

With a few selected croppers, Village Chief Ning carved out a piece of land and directly asked them to build a fence, and the fence would be slowly built higher and higher to block the view from the outside.

The selected farmers had to go to the fields every day to learn how to handle pumpkins.

Drained a strong laborer, their own work is a little too much to do, but they don't feel hard.

Every day when they came out of the fence that was being built higher and higher, the people around them would be curious to ask what they were doing inside, but the people who had signed a confidentiality agreement and were greeted closed their mouths, no matter what others asked them, they were silent.

Even the people in the family didn't dare to tell if they asked.

The more they learned about it, the more they knew the preciousness of pumpkins.

Such a precious thing, if they talk about it and be learned by others, they will eat it.
