I am happy to be a mother in a famine year, I have a system to farm the land

Her old man clearly sensed that something was wrong, but he still didn't mean to ask her or stop her, which was why Zhu Qiuqi was willing to stay in the Zhang family.

Seeing that Zhu Qiuqi had been busy all morning, a fine layer of sweat appeared on her forehead, and the old lady of the Zhang family sighed.

"Give me the hoe, and I'll help you loosen the soil over there. You'd better cut these sweet potatoes yourself!"

The old lady Zhang didn't dare to touch the sweet potato again, especially when she heard Zhu Qiuqi say that the sweet potato could yield a thousand catties per mu, the old lady of the Zhang family consciously stayed away from the sweet potato, fearing that if she touched it, the fractional yield would be reduced. Reduce by half.

At first, Zhu Qiuqi didn't understand why the old lady of the Zhang family hid away. After seeing the sweet potato in her hand, Zhu Qiuqi couldn't help shaking her head and laughing.

But she didn't explain too much about it. She could see that the old lady of the Zhang family seemed to be really afraid of affecting her. Zhu Qiuqi was very moved by this.

Although the old lady Zhang had accepted Zhu Qiuqi's statement that the sweet potato could yield a thousand catties per mu, when they went back, the old lady Zhang still looked disappointed.

This is the first time she has heard of something that can produce a thousand catties per mu.

Although this kind of production made her a little distrustful of Zhu Qiuqi, but thinking of what Zhu Qiuqi had done before, the old lady of the Zhang family felt that she might be able to trust Zhu Qiuqi.

But according to the things that are produced per mu, it is too stimulating for her. The old lady of the Zhang family originally planned to go to the new hospital to help after finishing her busy work.But when she got home, she realized that her hands and feet were a little weak.

Zhu Qiuqi turned around and saw that there was something wrong with Mrs. Zhang's expression. She thought it was too hot and she was sunburned.

Zhu Qiuqi quickly put down the hoe in her hand, and supported the old lady in two steps in three steps.

"Mom, what's wrong with you? If you're tired, take a rest first."

Zhu Qiuqi was relieved to see that old lady Zhang looked normal, with no signs of dizziness or heat stroke.

After waiting for old lady Zhang to sit down, Zhu Qiuqi poured a glass of warm water for old lady Zhang.

I just wanted to ask Mrs. Zhang what happened?Seeing that old lady Zhang's face turned pale, Zhu Qiuqi didn't ask immediately, but gave him a few sighs of relief.

After the old lady of the Zhang family calmed down, Zhu Qiuqi was able to feel her pulse opposite to the old lady Zhang.

"Mom, why are you so worried?"

Seeing Zhu Qiuqi's actions, old lady Zhang couldn't help sighing.She also knew that she couldn't hide her thoughts from Zhu Qiuqi, and she had been pretending to be calm before.

But when she came back and learned that there was such a thing planted in her backyard, Mrs. Zhang couldn't help but worry.

"Qiu Qi, what do you say if the people in the government know about this thing that yields a thousand catties per mu?"

When Zhu Qiuqi came back yesterday, those officers and soldiers were also staying at the new courtyard.

Mrs. Zhang was really worried about what those people would see, and then took Zhu Qiuqi to the government.

Zhu Qiuqi's heart warmed slightly when she heard that Mrs. Zhang's intentions were for her.

"Mother, don't worry. When I came back with Siyuan yesterday, I didn't tell anyone about the sweet potato, not even the doctor Jishitang."

When Mrs. Zhang heard Zhu Qiuqi say that no one knew about the sweet potatoes, she was relieved.

But when Zhu Qiuqi said that that thing could produce a thousand catties per mu, her heart still trembled uncontrollably.

"Qiu Qi, is it true that sweet potatoes can produce a thousand catties per mu? Did you lie to your mother?"

Hearing this, he nodded, "This is indeed what I read from the book."

"If this thing really has such a large output, the people in our mainland will be saved."

Thinking of what had happened, Mrs. Zhang couldn't help but her eyes turned red.

Whether it was the previous catastrophe or the drought this time, it has become something that the old lady of the Zhang family will never forget in her life.

Although she was well protected by her family before, it doesn't mean she doesn't know what's going on outside.

In this drought, their family was also lucky to have enough food to survive to this day. Fortunately, they met such a blessed person as Zhu Qiuqi, and their Xiaozhangzhuang people would not have the same thing that they waited for their children to eat.

"Qiu Qi, you don't know that many people died during the great drought."

Zhu Qiuqi knows that many people will die in natural disasters, but no one can accept when the people she knows really become food in other people's mouths.

Zhu Qiuqi had heard Mrs. Zhang mention the catastrophe before. Although she hadn't experienced it personally, she had watched many documentaries.

Know how small human beings are in the face of catastrophe, and also know how difficult it is for human beings to survive the disaster.

Seeing the old lady of the Zhang family look like this now, Zhu Qiuqi can understand.

"Mother, don't worry, no matter what? There will always be a day when this natural disaster will pass."

The old lady nodded, yes, the natural disaster will pass one day, and the lives of ordinary people will get better.

The old lady of the Zhang family had heard people from Xiaozhangzhuang say that Zhu Qiuqi was a lucky star, but the old lady of the Zhang family had always denied this.

Especially when Liu Susu said that Zhu Qiuqi was a monster, Mrs. Zhang didn't want to hear such remarks.

But he also vaguely knew that Zhu Qiuqi might really have some chance, but the old lady of the Zhang family didn't want everyone to treat Zhu Qiuqi as a different kind.

After all, people are arranged.If Zhu Qiuqi becomes that outlier, one day she will be pulled down from that altar by everyone.

Mrs. Zhang did not want such a thing to happen to Zhu Qiuqi. During this period of getting along, Mrs. Zhang also saw that Zhu Qiuqi was a good-natured person. How could she bear to see this group of kind-hearted children suffer such a tragic thing? ?

Zhu Qiuqi didn't know what the old lady of the Zhang family was thinking at this time, but seeing the worry in her eyes, she knew that the old lady of the Zhang family was worried about herself.

"Mother, don't worry, it won't take long for these sweet potatoes to germinate. If the yield is really good by then, we don't mind dedicating these sweet potatoes to the imperial court."

Mrs. Zhang nodded repeatedly when she heard what Zhu begged.

But secretly made up his mind, no matter what, Zhu Qiuqi's matter, their family must keep it a secret.

Even if they have noticed that Zhu Qiuqi is different from before, in the eyes of Mrs. Zhang, this is her daughter-in-law, and she does not allow anyone to push Zhu Qiuqi into the abyss.

Zhu Qiuqi comforted the old lady of the Zhang family. Seeing that the old lady's complexion improved a lot, Zhu Qiuqi also felt relieved.Went to the new courtyard with Mrs. Zhang, and seeing Mrs. Zhang chatting with Aunt Tian and others again, Zhu Qiuqi was relieved a lot.
