Rebirth begins with the waste wood returning home

Chapter 69 Good day

According to what Xiao Zeng said, he might leave this small mountain village.

If it were the days when he first arrived in Shi'ao Village, this news would definitely make Jiang Defu cry with joy.

After all, at that time, this place was just a place for him, with no food and clothing and no warmth.

Now this home, including this place, is getting better and better step by step under my own management:
Grain production has increased significantly, and the family can't eat enough corn and sweet potatoes. They can exchange money or fine grains, and the problem of food and clothing has been solved.

I raise chickens and ducks at home and have natural eggs to eat;

There are also some game animals caught in the mountains from time to time; in summer there are many fish and shrimps in the river;

The oil we eat at home is pressed by ourselves;

The clothes are all made of cotton and hand-sewn by my family. Although they are a bit rustic, they are really comfortable;
The adobe house at home has been painted and is very clean. The small wild flowers on the mountain are placed in the fired earthenware bottles, which is quite elegant.

There is no hustle and bustle of the previous life, not so much worldly pressure!

Jiang Defu is now used to this kind of life, but he never thought that this kind of life might disappear again.

I don't know why, but he feels a little lost now.

However, the news was only learned from Xiao Zeng's mouth. Xiao Zeng meant that the leader Cong had been promoted and only missed him occasionally.

Knowing that his memory has not fully recovered, he said that he should rest for a while and talk about it later.

Since we’ll talk about it later, maybe one day the old leader will forget to come!
Anyway, unless his superiors force him to leave, he should enjoy the pastoral life here now!

However, while enjoying it, he also had to pave the way for his own home first.

Even if he will leave here one day, he doesn't want the life of this family to get worse just because he is gone. This is not the purpose of struggle.

"Third brother...I...to be honest, I'm a little afraid of getting married again. That Shuanzi has been out there and hasn't come back. He says I'm going to kill him. And my mother-in-law, I...I still like my current life."

Jiang Dehua calmly expressed her thoughts.

"Well, since you think life at home is good, live at home. When our living conditions get better, the year after next, maybe next year we will build another yard. Which one of you and Sister Guilan wants to get married? No, let’s hire a son-in-law!
When you get married, you worry about being bullied by others. If you recruit a son-in-law, he must listen to us! "

When it came to getting married, the topic was a bit heavy. Seeing everyone's serious expressions, Jiang Defu laughed and said.

His tone made Jiang Dehua and Zhang Guilan burst into laughter.

When Jiang Defu heard what his son-in-law said, his expression was not very good.

Regarding the matter of proposing a marriage, they did not directly tell the family of the person involved. They only asked the messenger to say that Jiang Dehua was not in a good mood due to the previous incident and had no idea of ​​​​getting married yet. She would talk about it later.

As the word spread, naturally fewer people came to propose marriage.

……

The life of country people is one after another.

The early sweet potatoes have just been harvested, and the fields have been prepared to prepare for planting winter wheat. The late sweet potatoes and radishes are also about to be harvested.

This year, the late sweet potato harvest in Shi'ao Village has become the most lively scene, even more lively than when Jiang Defu's family harvested corn and sweet potatoes previously.

The reason is that many people still fertilize late sweet potatoes with manure from the village collective manure pit according to the method Jiang Defu said, and the method of planting and fertilizing is also based on what he said.

Everyone was excited to see the status of their sweet potato harvest.

Even a small number of people in the village did not participate.

Although everyone was called upon to participate, only households that pulled manure materials into the manure pits had the opportunity to use manure, and the amount of manure used depended on the amount of materials sent to them.

Some people didn’t participate because they didn’t believe it, and some people said they participated but just pulled a car and stopped going. In the end, they still didn’t believe it too much.Of course, some people gave away a lot, but when they used it, they only tried it in some remote small plots. In the end, they were still afraid that not following their previous planting methods would affect their sweet potato harvest that year.

After all, this is related to the issue of food. Sweet potatoes have high yields and are the winter food for many families in Shi'ao Village.

Therefore, during this harvest, many families are concerned about each other’s sweet potato harvest.

In fact, before the harvest, many people already have a general understanding of the growth conditions of their sweet potatoes when they are pulling weeds and surveying them.

For example, the general results of sweet potatoes are already known, whether they are larger or smaller than in previous years, but many people are still curious about the specific number.

Some of them saw that the sweet potatoes in the small field they were experimenting with were indeed much larger than before, so they wanted to continue going to the collective manure pit to get fertilizer, but Liu Mulin refused.

The collective manure areas are surrounded by high walls and fences, and the doors are locked.

Liu Mulin even hired someone from the village to take care of it.

In fact, those people also sent manure materials, but they didn't believe it too much and only used a small part.

Now I see that the sweet potato fruits in the fields with poor hills are bigger than those in my fertile fields. Naturally, I regret it. I think that there is still manure at home that has not been finished, so I might as well continue to fertilize it.

Liu Mulin naturally refused. Jiang Defu had anticipated this situation at the beginning and warned Liu Mulin.

Liu Mulin told those people that the fertilizing period of manure had passed and it would not work even after fertilizing, so he asked them to give up and they could continue to use it in the coming year. Those people had no choice but to leave in frustration.

Now that the sweet potatoes have been harvested tonight, many people are curious about the sweet potato harvests of other people who have used manure.

Shi Daniu's family has many fields along the roadside of the village. They all fertilize them with manure. After the frost, their sweet potatoes have almost grown, so Jiang Defu asked them to harvest them early.

When their family was harvesting, many people came to see the sweet potatoes. As expected, the sweet potatoes were not growing very much, and they were all round and plump.

Shi Daniu was very excited. Their family was poor and there was always not enough food to eat. His mother was old and not in good health. Shi Daniu had to take care of her, and the farm work in the fields was not as detailed as other families.

This time, one acre of land actually yielded more than 3000 kilograms. They also have more than two acres of wasteland sweet potatoes, which means they won’t be able to eat them all this winter.

Mrs. Shi was so happy that she could hardly close her mouth.

"Big Cowgirl, your sweet potatoes are growing really well! I can't finish the sweet potatoes this year!"

As I approached that store, I saw Shi Daniu’s sweet potatoes, and my eyes were filled with envy.

Their family harvested it two days ago. Because it was a fertile field, they were reluctant to use manure and only used the hillside land.

In the past, their sweet potatoes were much better than Shi Daniu's. They had a large family, and the work was pleasant. The farmland was tidied over and over again, and there was very little grass in the ground.

After Shi Daniu's sweet potatoes were pulled out, there was still a lot of grass, and the yield was nearly half as high as theirs!
This manure is amazing!
"Well, if you can't finish it, put some in the cellar, dry some sweet potatoes for storage, and replace the rest with corn. I, the big cow, also said, replace it with half a bag of white flour. The child will grow taller and will be hungry for white flour!"

Mrs. Shi was thinking happily.

Ouch!

Shi Daniu's family, the poorest in Shi'ao Village, is no longer willing to eat white flour. In the past, corn flour was a rarity in their family. This is really different!

"The Jiang family are really the living gods in the village. If it weren't for them, how would we be able to eat these!"

Aunt Shi was sighing as she ate the fragrant thin-noodle steamed buns.

Shi Daniu was munching the steamed buns happily, unable to lift his head.

"Daniu, you said that the conditions of the Jiang family are so good now. Mom wants to find a wife for Decai. What do you think?"

Aunt Shi suddenly said to Shi Daniu.
