And Ning Ning and her three sisters have a very fulfilling year, immersed in the sea of words every day, either memorizing or reading, either reading or writing. In the next time, the You family was embarrassed to ask Ning Ning when they had something. However, Old Master Song is very open-minded and sets certain tasks every day, and Ning Ning can play freely after completing it. After all, most of such a large family business is supported by Ning Ning, if Ning Ning is only allowed to study at this time, then the control of these businesses at home will decline day by day. Mr. Song wanted to accept a closed disciple, but he didn't just want Ning Ning to be able to read and write.

This winter is indeed very cold, but the people of the entire Qingshui Village are making money in full swing, and each family has saved a lot of money, and the family has money to burn the kang to buy grain and meat. Not a single old man or child froze to death all winter. No wonder Li Zheng's face is flushed every day these days, although Qingshui Village is developing so well now, most of it depends on the business of the You family, but there is also a small credit to him for doing Li Zheng. When the village chiefs of the ten miles and eight villages around the beginning of spring are gathering together to discuss the major matters of spring ploughing, this is the talking point that can be taken out. Maybe he'll be able to go up a liter more.

Where could you have thought of such a thing before? In his vision, the best-case scenario would be for him to rise in another twenty years. It's right, it's good, but it's not even a official. I have to say that he is also a person with small ambitions.

After the coldest days, the following days became warmer and warmer day by day. Ning Ning's several layers of fur and clothes were also taken off one by one. At this time, Ning Ning's second cousin Wu Lu's research Qu Yuan Plough finally made progress. In fact, it was not difficult for the second cousin Wu Lu to make this Quyuan plow, after all, Ning Ning had already given him the rough drawings, and the most difficult part was mainly in the iron to be used. The Great Li Dynasty had a very strict control over salt and iron, and ordinary people like them were not qualified to obtain large quantities of salt and iron. So the research was stalled until there until Mrs. Song secretly sent a batch, and the problem was solved.

On the day when the Quyuan plow was really done, the entire You family gathered in the yard and looked at the strange-shaped plough carefully. Especially the old man who has the deepest feelings for the land, he has been digging in the soil for almost his whole life, and no one knows the hardships of farming better than him. Although the ordinary people know the truth of deep ploughing in spring, they have no oxen or plows, so they can only dig by themselves with a hoe and a hoe. After working for such a day, my waist was tired, my hoe was worn, and my strength was spent, but the effect was not great. You Laohan actually has a very serious back disease, which is a common disease for croppers who dig in the soil, but for them, these cannot be regarded as diseases at all, and can only be said to be a small problem that everyone will have.

When the people around them have such small problems, everyone is used to it, but even if they can bear hardships and stand hard work, they are also human beings, living people. Every time I farm, which family's young and strong laborers are not tired and out of breath, and they don't even want to move a finger when they return home?

It's so hard to farm! There is no one who wants to plow the ground more quickly and efficiently than the old man. So after hearing that his granddaughter had come up with such a strange mechanism that could greatly increase the speed of spring ploughing, You Laohan and the others immediately stopped all the work in their hands and hurried to watch.

After staring at the mechanism for a long time, Old Man You stretched out a finger and carefully touched the part containing the fine iron with Ning Ning's encouragement, and then suddenly took it back. Ning Ning felt strange, and when she looked up again, she found that her grandfather's eyes were full of tears.

"Grandpa?"

Ning Ning didn't quite understand why Grandpa was so excited. Only Grandma You, who has been with him for decades, knows what the old man is thinking at this time. She wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and then patted her old man's back comfortingly.

"Leave him alone. This old man is just so excited. ”

"Ning Ning, you are young, you probably don't know how tiring you are during spring ploughing. When your grandfather was young, he relied on the strength of his two arms to plough the family's dozen acres of land. At that time, he was so tired that when he got home, he couldn't even say half a word, and when he got to the door, he lay down, and I dragged him to the bed. ”

Although there were complaining words in her mouth, Grandma You's expression and tone were full of tenderness. She seems to remember the hard work and struggle times when she was young, although she was very tired, but the days when the husband and wife supported each other and snuggled up to each other were really warm. Even after decades, it still shines brightly in Grandma You's memory.

Hearing her grandmother's explanation, Ning Ning seemed to understand a little. She smiled and stretched out her hands and hugged Old Man You fiercely.

"Grandpa, you believe me! Our days will get better and better! I will also let more people cross the better, don't have to work so hard! ”

You Laohan looked down at his sensible and caring granddaughter, and the smile made an old man feel relieved, and he couldn't help but rub his granddaughter's hair vigorously.

"Okay, grandpa knows! Grandpa is waiting to see with his own eyes, Ning Ning will definitely do a good job! ”

When everyone calmed down, Wushan raised the most important question that needs to be paid attention to, that is, whether this curved plow can be used.

At this time, Ning Ning directly said, why don't we go out and find a piece of land to experiment?

Just do it, and everyone is waiting to see if the newly made Quyuan plow is as easy to use as Ning Ning said. simply borrowed the horse from Wushan to pull the curved plough and walked to his own cultivated land. The horse seemed to have understood that he was going to be reduced to the use of ploughing cattle today, although he was a little dissatisfied, but under the gaze of Wushan, he still followed everyone to the plough quite honestly.

In this process, it naturally attracted the attention of those people from Qingshui Village who came out to act. They looked at this vast family and felt strange. Winter has just ended, the weather has just warmed up, this family is so neat, what are you going to do? And Mr. Wu's horse was pulling a strange thing. Those who are curious can't help but ask.

"Brother You, why are you going?"

You Sifang glanced at Ning Ning and saw that Ning Ning did not object, so he said it neatly.

"Ning Ning and her second cousin have come up with a rare gadget, and it will be faster when plowing the land. Didn't I just get this out, I thought I'd try it, but did it work as well as I said? If it's really easy to use, won't it save a lot of time and energy when it's time for spring ploughing? ”
