Xie Yanzhi didn't quite understand why he did this, seeing that everyone was looking at him, he thought for a while and said according to his understanding: "I said this, I don't know if you understand it." ”

"A watermelon is like a family, they have six or seven children. However, the annual output of food in the field is limited, and so many children have to be raised, and everyone eats less, eats badly, and has a difficult life, so the children are so hungry that their faces are yellow and thin, and they do not grow tall. ”

When Li Yuan heard his analogy, her eyes instantly lit up.

She didn't even think that she could explain it like that.

Xie Yanzhi continued: "However, if there are only one or two children, there is also so much grain produced in the field, but it is more evenly distributed to the bowls of those two children. When the child is well fed, he will naturally grow white and fat, and he will be tall. So, when necessary, know how to make trade-offs. ”

Since ancient times, people have paid attention to having more children and more blessings.

When the people of Li Jiaao heard this, even if they knew that it might really be the case, their faces were not very good-looking.

In their opinion, the rich and the poor can raise the law, as long as they can pull the child up.

As for those who are rich or not, how can they be compared with their children?

No matter how rich the family is, if you don't even have a child, it's not a dead family?

There are many children, not to mention the ancestors and ancestors, in case which child has a chance?

Because of Xie Yanzhi's words, except for Li Yuan, everyone else present fell silent, including Li Duo, Li Rui and other young generations.

Or a few older generations have a long-term vision, they were silent for a moment, and then muttered to each other for a while, and then Old Man Li spoke.

"Shao'an's words, everyone may feel uncomfortable when they hear it. But the words are not rough, and the gist is true. Besides, we just grow things to sell, and it has nothing to do with having children, and we don't let everyone give away the heirs in the family. If the quality and taste of this watermelon are not good, it will be useless to bear more fruits, and it will not be sold at a high price. So, it's worth keeping one or two, things are good, and the price is high. ”

Old man Li said, looking at Li Qinghua: "Huazi, look at how to arrange everyone to plant these." Since you want sandy land, choose a place that is not easy to be flooded and has a lot of sand in the area around the Liuyun River. There is no land over there, but there is wasteland. At present, everyone only grows sweet potatoes, which is much easier than in previous years to grow rice. ”

Li Qinghua nodded in response, and said: "I plan to wait for the sweet potatoes to be planted in a few days, and then take a few people upstream to see what the situation of the embankment over there is." If it's really not good, everyone should prepare it for me as soon as possible. ”

After the words fell, he looked at the strong laborers and various masters of the clan present, and continued: "Shao'an planned for us early, just for the sake of Yuanniang. If any of you don't appreciate it and procrastinate, and when the time comes, everyone will leave, and you are not ready, then the people will leave you behind. Then it will be up to you whether you live or die, and no one will be blamed. ”

When Li Yuan saw this, he handed the watermelon seed bowl soaked in spiritual spring water in his hand to Li Qinghua.

"Uncle Hua, I just heard people say that I don't know much about how to plant, you are all veterans of farming, and after a little thought, you should know better than me. All I know is that this watermelon is not resistant to waterlogging, otherwise the roots will rot. The water in this bowl is what Brother Xie used to grow vegetables in winter. You put the seeds of the two watermelons in and soak them, and when they are ready, the watermelon seeds are planted, and the water is not poured on the ground, just turn around and pour it into the pond. ”

Everyone in Li Jiaao knows that last winter, Li Yuan relied on the water matched by Xie Yan to grow vegetables and make a lot of money.

Hearing this, their eyes turned to the bowl.

It's just that they were embarrassed to say that they would let Xie Yanzhi give them some too, so after reading it, they silently withdrew their gaze.

They have already received a lot of benefits from Xie Yanzhi, and they can't get an inch anymore!

When Li Yuan and Xie Yanzhi came back, Wang Can had already collected the pumpkin and winter melon, and was shaving potatoes in the field at this time.

Seeing this, Xie Yanzhi spontaneously went to the firewood room to get a hoe to help, while Li Yuan took the basket and picked up the potatoes that were dug out of the ground.

Wang Can didn't rest much, and he was tired at this time.

She took advantage of the time to stop and rest, and said to Li Yuan: "Sister, I'll warm the rice in the pot, you go eat some." I'll just come by myself later, and you can go back after you finish eating, Su Mingshan and she are still waiting for you. ”

"It's not a moment, if Sister Su really can't wait, she will come here directly after eating."

It's just that Li Yuan didn't expect that not long after she said this, Su Mingshan really came.

When she arrived, the pumpkin and winter melon had already been collected into the space by Li Yuan.

Because of the mess in the courtyard, she didn't go in, but stood at the door with an apologetic face.

Without Li Yuan to speak, Wang Can, who was wearing a hat and an old clothes, supported the hoe with both hands, panted slightly, and said, "Miss Su, I have heard everything about you. That, I only have half a bottle left at home, I can give it to you. I don't want any silver, you can buy some rice and noodles and give them to the people in need. Whether it's in my sister's name or your Su Mansion, it doesn't matter. ”

Li Yuan followed Wang Can's words and said: "I'll put things in the house, Sister Su, wait a minute!" ”

When Li Yuan symbolized entering the house to mix the concentration of spiritual spring water, Su Mingshan took a purse from Su Xue with a guilty face and handed it to Wang Can.

"Here is the one hundred taels I promised, you can take it. As for what you said about buying food and giving it to the people, I will do the same. I am greedy, and I know that this thing is precious, and it is difficult to buy it with silver. But Muyang's situation is not very good now, and the Qin family had also spent a lot of money to buy life-saving pills from others before, but the effect was not great after taking them, so I had to make this decision. ”

Wang Can pushed the money bag back: "No, if you say a hundred taels, one hundred taels." You can help me use this money to buy some rice and noodles for the people, and besides, this thing has nothing to do with me, it belongs to my brother-in-law. ”

When Su Mingshan heard this, she looked at Xie Yanzhi, who was also holding a hoe.

Xie Yanzhi always thought that the spiritual spring water was Li Yuan's thing, and when he heard Wang Can say this, he didn't know what Li Yuan and Wang Can said before.

He said, "There is no need to give any additional money, but it will be bought into food for those in need." ”

Su Mingshan shook her head firmly: "Silver belongs to silver, and it can't be mixed up." Besides, marrying the Qin family, I have gained a lot of benefits. This bit of silver is nothing more than a drizzle to me. Take it, I'm at ease. ”

When Li Yuan came out, he just heard this, so he said to Wang Can: "Since this is the case, Canniang, you can accept it." If you think it's inappropriate, then give Sister Su a watermelon you grew and ask her to try it. ”
