Reborn Ugly Girl Farming to Support the Family

After lunch, everyone rested for a while and then went to the fields with their hoes.

After harvesting one acre of land, Zheng Dashan weighed the sweet potatoes and found that he harvested more than 1,600 kilograms of sweet potatoes per acre on the mountain.

In the village, one acre of land yielded more than 2,000 kilograms of sweet potatoes.

When this number came out, everyone who came to help was shocked.

At a time when an acre of land can only produce three or four hundred kilograms of grain, the output of 2,000 kilograms is simply an astronomical figure.

Yang Changqing stretched out his hand and pinched himself hard. The pain in his arm reminded him that he was not dreaming.

"Second brother, oh my god, this, this is really not blurry, right?"

Zheng Dashan was amused by his actions, "It's all real, this sweet potato is really good."

Old Man Zheng also said with emotion: "If we had this food, the whole village wouldn't have fled because of the famine."

Mao Gen clenched his hands excitedly and said, "Uncle, if we grow sweet potatoes at home in the future, even if we only have two acres of land, it will be enough for the whole family to eat."

If they get seeds from their second uncle this year, the brothers will go to the mountains and open up a few acres of land in the spring of next year and use them all to grow sweet potatoes.

Zheng Dashan also sighed, "If everyone can grow sweet potatoes in the future, there will be fewer people who are hungry."

Everyone agreed with his words. All of them, the farmers, had experienced famine and all of them had tasted the feeling of hunger.

It would be a great thing if everyone could grow this high-yield sweet potato.

Old Man Zheng patted his son on the back and said, "Next year, we will give the sweet potatoes to the people in the village to grow. In a few years, more people will be able to grow sweet potatoes."

After learning about the per-acre yield of sweet potatoes, everyone became more motivated to work.

Within a few days, all the sweet potatoes in their field were harvested.

Looking at the sweet potatoes piled up in the backyard, Zheng Xiaoman felt very satisfied.

When Old Man Zhou and the Zhou brothers left, Zheng Dashan gave them some of the sweet potatoes he had collected and let them take them away.

This year, the Zhou family also planted two acres of sweet potatoes. Together with the ones given by the Zheng family, it is enough for next year's seeds.

Their family also bought more than ten acres of mountain land this year, and will use it all to grow sweet potatoes in the spring of next year.

Zheng Dashan also gave several hundred kilograms of sweet potatoes to each of Yang Changqing and the three brothers of the Mao family. The two families happily harvested the sweet potatoes and were even more grateful to Zheng Dashan's family.

After harvesting sweet potatoes, their family will start harvesting other crops.

This time, those who came to help were all familiar with their family, and the Yang family and Mao Gen still came to help.

Old Mrs. Zheng asked two daughters-in-law with whom she had a good relationship to come and help with cooking, which made things a lot easier for her family.

When it comes to food, Zheng Xiaoman asks his two aunts to cook different dishes every day.

Such as fish soup, bone soup, roasted loach, roasted eel, and occasionally stewed chicken.

As long as it is for health benefits, Zheng Xiaoman doesn't feel sorry at all.

Autumn harvest is the most tiring time. After helping to harvest their fields, everyone has to go and harvest their own fields.

If you don’t keep up with your diet, your body will not be able to handle it.

Therefore, what everyone who came to help looked forward to most every day was what delicious food the Zheng family would prepare for lunch and dinner.

Although the two daughters-in-law’s cooking skills are not as good as Zheng Xiaoman’s, the ingredients provided by the Zheng family are sufficient, so the food will definitely not be bad.

In the end, those who did not come to the Zheng family to help began to envy these people.

Eating chicken, duck, fish and meat every day is much better than what we eat at home.

By mid-October, they had finally harvested all their land.

The front yard of Zheng Xiaoman's house was covered with harvested corn and wheat, as well as soybeans and mung beans.

All the beets planted on the five acres of land on the mountain have been harvested. Zheng Xiaoman boiled the harvested beets into beet juice at home.

Their grain harvest was complete and the family could finally take a break.

These days have been really tiring. Even with all the good food and drink, Zheng Dashan and Old Man Zheng have still lost a lot of weight.

Zheng Xiaoman felt sorry for them and asked them to drink some spiritual spring water every day.

At least, although I have lost weight, I don’t feel uncomfortable anywhere.

At this moment, the villagers had no time to pick acorns anymore. Everyone was busy harvesting crops in their own fields every day.

Acorns are good, but the food in the ground is the most important thing.

This time, Boss Zheng's family did not drag it out until the last minute. Of course, Old Man Zheng went to their house early to watch the two of them work.

Looking at these two lazy guys, Old Man Zheng was so angry that he was jumping up and down all day long.

He was almost holding a small whip in his hand and following them to beat them.

After much hard work, we finally harvested the two acres of land before the heavy rain came.

It was fortunate that the three Mao Gen brothers and the two Zheng Xiaoyu sisters came to help collect the things, otherwise these two people would have to delay for a few more days.

After the autumn harvest, the next thing to do is to prepare for the wedding of Zheng Xiaoyu and Mao Gen.

Mao Gen helped the Zheng and Yang families collect grain these days and earned some money. He found someone to renovate the three thatched houses in his home.

Zheng Xiaoyu had prepared almost everything she needed, and Old Lady Zheng gave her two taels of silver as a safe deposit.

Zheng Dashan and Old Man Zheng also helped to prepare other miscellaneous items needed for daily life, such as cabinets, tables, and chairs.

Zhou Chunfeng, the second aunt, made two new dresses for her and gave her two taels of silver just like Old Lady Zheng.

Zheng Xiaoyu's eyes turned red when she looked at the new clothes and silver in front of her.

"Second Aunt, I..."

She wanted to say something, but didn't know how.

Zhou Chunfeng smiled and stroked her hair, "Good girl, don't cry. When you get married, you have to support the family and live a good life. You can't cry all the time.

I watched you grow up. You have been sensible since childhood. I treat you like my own daughter.

If you get wronged after you get married, come to Second Aunt and she will support you."

Zheng Xiaoyu threw herself into Second Aunt's arms and cried loudly, "Second Aunt, wuwu, thank you."

Zhou Chunfeng also wiped the corners of her eyes and patted her back gently.

Zheng Xiaoduo wiped her tears from her mouth and then pushed the door open and walked in.

The wedding date was set for November 16th. The weather was very good that day, with clear skies and a cool air, neither too cold nor too hot.

Yesterday, another big pig from Zheng Xiaoman's family was brought over for slaughter, and Zheng Dashan also brought more than 20 kilograms of meat to Mao Gen's house.

Mao Gen quickly refused, "Uncle, I can't accept this. I have already bought all the meat for the banquet tomorrow."

The girl has already felt wronged by marrying him, so how can he still take things from her family?

Zheng Dashan smiled and said, "Why are you being so polite to me? Even if I'm not Xiaoyu's second uncle, I'm still your uncle.

Okay, be a man, stop being so fussy.

Be nicer to Xiaoyu in the future, and that will be your way of repaying us."

Mao Gen was touched and he stopped refusing. He reached out and took the meat in front of him.

"Don't worry, Uncle. I promise to treat Xiaoyu well. I swear."

Zheng Dashan nodded with satisfaction, "Okay, go get busy, I'll be back first."
