When attacked and worn as a farmer's daughter-in-law

The experimental land is only a little over one mu, most of which are planted with wheat, corn, potatoes and sweet potatoes, and the rest of the area is planted with a variety of crops.The reason why Fang Tianlin planted so many seeds is actually very simple, that is to save the seeds for his family.

Among the four food crops, except that the harvested wheat is all second-generation improved varieties, the other three have second-generation and third-generation improved varieties. The only difference lies in the proportion of third-generation improved varieties. Among them, potatoes are all third-generation improved varieties.

One mu of land has limited harvests for two seasons a year, and the Shen family has already taken advantage of the chicken farm, so all the harvest in the field belongs to Shen Jiahe Yifang. No one has such a thick skin, even wanting to share a piece of it.

During the busy farming period, you usually have to stay close to the public first, and this time is also the case.When the collection was almost done, Fang Tianlin took the time to tidy up the test site.In other words, only Fang Tianlin knew how much he had received, not even Shen Jiahe, let alone the rest of the Shen family.They still thought that the harvest was similar to that of Gongzhong's field, so no one thought much about it.

The woods were bought by Shen Jiahe in the name of the homestead, so there is no need to pay taxes for the production in the experimental field, and all the harvest belongs to him, which saves him a lot of expenses.

The climate in Guangyan Village can be cropped twice a year, but this is an ideal situation, and the land is limited. Generally, the fields have to stop planting for at least one season every two or three years.Farmers just rely on the prospects of the fields to make a living. It is impossible for all the fields to operate at full capacity one after another, and then all the fields will be closed.The risk of doing so is too high. After all, the loss of a whole season of harvest is equivalent to no income for half a year, which is not much different from a crop failure.

Ordinarily, this should not be the case. As long as it is a normal year, no matter whether the fields are closed in batches or collectively, the utilization rate of the fields is basically the same, and the total harvest is not much different.Indeed, from this point of view alone, farmers get roughly the same benefits, but one point is ignored, that is, the human factor.

Not everyone can rationally arrange expenses, charge more and use more, and charge less and use less. There are many people who hold this idea, and various unexpected factors make this plan unfeasible.

For example, someone borrows money for urgent needs.If the method of closing the fields is adopted, farmers will inevitably save half a year more than usual, which means that they have surplus money on hand. In this case, should people borrow or not?If you borrow it, you will be hungry, and if you don't borrow it, it will be too unreasonable. The relationship between the two families is likely to become very stiff.And resting the fields in batches, there will be a harvest every season, and the life will be relatively stable, and there will be no situation of temporary affluence and financial constraints, which can avoid many unnecessary troubles.

The Shen family adopted the method of resting the fields in turn, and also adopted the method of crop rotation, that is, a piece of land will not be planted with the same crop for two consecutive seasons.As a result, in the second season, the Shen family only had a small half of the land that could be used to grow potatoes, which could not achieve the highest efficiency.

Fang Tianlin felt a little pity, but only one thing.Although the number of three-generation improved varieties of corn and sweet potatoes harvested this time is not large enough to fill the rest of the field, he still has other three-generation improved varieties of crops.The Shen family didn't have much land in the first place, and the little harvest wasn't enough to make people feel heartbroken.

Seeing his daughter-in-law's happy and proud appearance, Fang Tianlin's heart warmed up.A person can still live a good life, but if he finishes his life without a partner or even a bosom friend, it will be a bit sad.He was very fortunate that there was such a caring person as Shen Jiahe by his side, which made his heart no longer wandering and settled down early.

"Jiahe, you go to harness the ox cart. Let's go to the courtyard and bring all the food home." Fang Tianlin carried the triplets to the next room and let Liucheng take care of them.

"Hey, I'll go right away." Shen Jiahe readily agreed, but he was a little confused.The summer grain has just been harvested, and there is not much room to store grain at home, so it can't be put in the bedroom, right?Besides, the food belongs to their house alone, why does he feel that it is not appropriate to put it together with the public's?After thinking about it, he couldn't figure out why his daughter-in-law wanted to bring food home.

Neither of them were procrastinators, so they quickly loaded the grain that was temporarily stored in the courtyard into the ox cart.

Shen Jiahe sat on the shaft of the car, turned his head to his daughter-in-law and said, "Tianlin, are these harvested from our land?"

"Ah."

"The daughter-in-law is amazing!" Shen Jiahe smiled happily.Although he doesn't have the sharp eyesight of his father and the elderly, he can still see that the grain yield per mu is not low, and he doesn't think it is his own credit.

Thinking of the performance of the family's triplets, Shen Jiahe couldn't help but look at Fang Tianlin a few more times.He didn't suspect anything, he just felt that his daughter-in-law was handsome and capable, and maybe she was a fairy like the children!

The more he thought about it, the more he felt it was possible, Shen Jiahe looked at Fang Tianlin and smiled foolishly.

Seeing his daughter-in-law looking out of his mind, Fang Tianlin shook his head helplessly.He didn't bother Shen Jiahe's dream, took over the control of the bullock cart, and hurried home.

The small forest was very close to Shen's house, and the two arrived there not long after.

There are many Shen family members, and everyone weighed all the food after they were busy.

After converting the weight into yield per mu, everyone present gasped.The land in Shenjiahe was reclaimed only last year, and the harvest cost should not be as good as good land, but unexpectedly it was much higher.

"Third daughter-in-law, what do you think?" Father Shen didn't think that his daughter-in-law made such a big show just to show that he was a good farmer.

Fang Tianlin divided the baskets into two piles, one pile contained the second-generation improved seeds, and the other pile contained the third-generation improved seeds.He pointed to one of the piles and said, "Father, after these seeds are planted, the yield per mu should not reach the current level, but it is better than the good seeds last time, and the other piles are the same as the previous ones."

The facts were in front of us, no one questioned this time, and everyone present believed what Fang Tianlin said, but doubts followed.Since Fang Tianlin has the ability to breed good seeds, why didn't he use this ability before?And it's limited to the woods, why not improve the crops at home too?

Father Shen and the others didn't suspect Fang Tianlin, if he was really a monster, he should bring disaster to the Shen family instead of leading them to live a prosperous life.If they couldn't figure out this problem, they directly made up their minds, and attributed the reason for Fang Tianlin's doing so to the fact that it was extremely troublesome to cultivate fine seeds. Now this scale has reached its limit and cannot be expanded any more.

Although Fang Tianlin didn't say it clearly, everyone present understood that the subtext in his words was to let the Shen family use the seeds he provided during the summer broadcast.

Father Shen was much more forthright this time than in the previous response.Now the water in the Shahe River is about to bottom out, and the harvest is still uncertain. If you don’t plant it but it won’t work, the high-yielding variety has become the best choice. Even if a large part of them have never planted it, it is worth a try.

Seeing that his proposal was adopted so quickly, Fang Tianlin was obviously relieved, which saved him a lot of talking: "Father, there are more good seeds now, and our family can't finish them. What are your plans for the extra ones?"

"Take care of your third uncle's house first, as for the others..." Father Shen couldn't think of a suitable distribution plan for a while.

The Shen family has many relatives, but if you only care about them, it's good that the improved seeds will have little effect, otherwise, under the current drought situation, it will easily cause dissatisfaction among other villagers.It's okay in normal times, but if everyone doesn't have enough to eat, the consequences will be really unpredictable.And one more thing to consider is that the seeds are of great importance, and he is not sure how many companies dare to plant them.

After a while of silence, everyone began to express their opinions, and finally, Mr. Shen concluded: "That's the deal. I'll discuss with the village chief later to see which ones want to plant. After confirming this point, we will discuss it with the growers. The number of good breeds will be divided evenly, and those who have a good relationship with our family will give more."

Having seen the matter, Fang Tianlin was about to get up, but he didn't expect Shen Jiahai to have something to say.

"Father, does the uncle's family count?"

"Forget it, just compare the villagers who have a normal relationship with our family." Father Shen sighed, "Your grandpa and grandma are still there, so we can't leave them out."

For this result, Shen Jiahai and others can still accept it.After that, no one had any questions, and soon, everyone dispersed.

Father Shen went to his third brother's house first, and after deciding on the number of species to be planted, he went to the village head.

"You said your family has a batch of fine breeds?" The village chief stood up in shock, "Is it true?"

"Let me tell you, it is naturally true, but will you believe me when I say that?"

"Uh." The village head was choked up immediately, and sat down awkwardly.

Indeed, it would be difficult for anyone to believe it easily, and the same is true for the village chief.

In fact, this is easy to understand. If a villager tells Old Man Shen that he has a new breed of breed in his hands, it will probably be very difficult to persuade him to buy it.

If that was the case, the village chief would not stand up excitedly when he heard the news of the good breed.The reason why he is like this is that he still has a little bit of luck in his heart. If he is really a good breed, at least the villagers can have more hope.

The situation outside is really not good now, the sun above the head keeps spreading heat like it doesn’t need money, the Shahe River has almost bottomed out, and if there is no more rain to replenish it, it is afraid that it will completely stop flowing.However, the rainy season has passed, and there is not much rainfall at this time in a normal year. Instead of paying attention to this, it is better to think of other ways.

Before the disaster really came, no villager would leave their fields empty.At this time, the quality of the seeds is particularly important.Maybe just because of a little more harvest, they can get through the barrier in front of them.

"Village chief, that's the way it is. I can't prove how good the batch of seeds in my hand are, but my crops grow better than others. I believe the village chief has also seen it. The good seeds my family got are of the same quality as this."

The village chief pondered for a long time, but he couldn't make up his mind, so he didn't intend to bother, and sent someone to call the clan elders to discuss together.

After all the people arrived, they looked at the seeds of all kinds brought by Father Shen one by one, and finally agreed to the matter.

How the villagers choose is their own business, and even the village head cannot help them make decisions.However, under the leadership of the village head and clan elders, the villagers who had no interest in this matter began to think about the feasibility of this matter.

There are more than 1000 people in Guangyan Village, and nearly [-] households. The Shen family can provide a lot of good seeds. Even if they are divided equally, each family can get enough for one or two mu of land, of which corn accounts for more than half.No way, different crops require very different quantities to be planted.It only takes about five catties of seeds to plant an acre of corn, and at least tens of catties of sweet potatoes and potatoes.

The Shen family grows the most potatoes, and only two acres of corn are planted.But these two acres of corn, after screening, obtained hundreds of catties of seeds, which alone are enough to plant more than 100 acres of land.Counting other miscellaneous crop seeds, the total exceeds [-] mu.

Of course, it is impossible for every household to exchange grain from Shen Jia for improved seeds.According to the village chief's last statistics, only about a hundred families are willing to take the risk.

Since it is a good breed, the price cannot be cheap.In order not to wear clothes, Father Shen charged a higher fee than the ordinary seeds sold in the seed shop, but the extra part will not be collected for the time being, and will be discussed after the autumn harvest.

If it weren't for this, I'm afraid there will be fewer people planting.

Summer harvest is over, followed by summer planting.This time it was much easier, and the time was divided more loosely, so I didn't have to get up early and work in the dark.

Seeing the fine seeds cultivated by him being planted by the villagers one by one, Fang Tianlin felt a sense of accomplishment.Since he has the ability to benefit the common people, why not do it?

Unfortunately, such joy did not last long.Not long after the summer sowing ended, the crops had just grown vigorously, and the Shahe River stopped flowing completely, leaving only some potholes.It is estimated that after a period of time, even these small puddles will gradually disappear until the riverbed is completely dry and exposed.

In the days that followed, the entire Guangyan Village was shrouded in gloom and mist.

Because the drought was not serious before, every family in the village had surplus food except those who were really poor, so they didn't worry that they would not be able to live without a harvest.But no one knows how long this situation will last. How many companies can laugh?

There are many places in the village that need water, but there are not many options. Apart from a well and a clear spring, there are only two ways, either to go to the mountains to get water from mountain springs, or to go far away to draw water from another big river.The latter two are far away, so it’s okay to pick up drinking water and use it to irrigate the fields.

Seeing that the situation was not right, the Shen family began to consciously reduce the number of chickens. Every time the shopkeeper Fang came, he took away hundreds of chickens.Looking at the chicken farm that gradually became empty, the Shen family felt heartbroken.After selling the chickens, they will not feel much about hatching chicks and then raising them, but if there is no follow-up supplement, it means that there will be no continuous income in the future.

This is something that can't be helped, as the drought intensifies, the nearly thousand chickens in the chicken farm are a disaster, and sooner or later they will endanger the Shen family, so it's better to sell the chickens to make peace.

"Shopkeeper Fang, who is this?" Fang Tianlin welcomed people into the main room, looked at the seven or eight people standing under the eaves, his eyes darkened.

"To tell you the truth, it's not very calm outside now. The county keeps pouring in disaster victims, most of them are concentrated in various towns and cities. Your side is far away from the entrance and exit of the mountain road connecting the two sides of the Shangyang Mountain Range, and it hasn't been affected. It will take a long time. I'm afraid it's unavoidable, so it's better for you to prepare as soon as possible." Shopkeeper Fang looked serious.

"What's going on?" Fang Tianlin's expression darkened.

"Last autumn there was almost no harvest, and this year's summer harvest was not successful, and there was no shadow of the autumn harvest. The drought was so severe that the ground was cracked, and it was so dry that it was impossible to plant seeds." Shopkeeper Fang sighed.The distance between the two sides is actually not far. No one expected that there is only a mountain range between them, and the climate difference is so big.

Unfortunately, Fuyang County is no longer lucky, and the drought is intensifying, but all the smaller rivers have dried up, and only one big river is still struggling.

The people's drinking water is not a problem for the time being, but the shortage of water in the fields is very serious.Guangyan Village is the least water-scarce village that shopkeeper Fang has seen along the road. There are still a lot of fields that can't be taken care of, and only a few half-dead crops grow here and there.

"There is no allocation of funds for disaster relief?"

"Yes, it's just not enough. Otherwise, I wouldn't have waited until now. I'm afraid that some people will flee the famine after the beginning of spring." Shopkeeper Fang swallowed the words that came to his mouth.In fact, although the disaster relief funds allocated by the imperial court cannot relieve all the victims, it would not be so serious if there were no intermediate layers of exploitation.As long as there is food to eat, who is willing to leave their hometown and stay away from their homeland?

The risk of fleeing famine is very high, but not all officials are like the county magistrate of Fuyang County, who only drive the victims away instead of arresting them.Of course, this is done while the number of victims can be controlled. Once the number is too large, the city gates will be closed, and anyone who dares to approach will be shot directly.This is the most helpless move. Otherwise, the city may be destroyed by the victims.After all, most cities and towns are not heavily guarded, and they are easy to be captured under the cooperation of inside and outside. At that time, the unlucky ones will be the officials and the people under the rule.

Knowing this, the victims still did this. It can only show that they have no way to survive if they stay in their hometown.

Since the official road was not very safe, Fang Tianlin sold most of the remaining chickens, leaving only a hundred for his family to eat.Among them, more than [-] live chickens were kept, and the rest were slaughtered and made into various dry flavors.

After sending shopkeeper Fang away, Fang Tianlin immediately went home and told Father Shen the news.On the second day, every household no longer opened their doors wide, and they all went together when they went out.

Guangyan Village is located in the north of Fuyang County, and the mountain road connecting the two sides of Shangyang Mountains is located between the two places, close to the side of Fuyang County.Most of the victims went south, and not many people went north, and the village was relatively calm.

Recently, the Shen family has spent all their energy on taking care of the fields.There are many Shen family members, but they couldn't take care of all the crops, so they gave up some of them.Those crops that were abandoned were all second-generation species. They were dying without watering for a long time, and the leaves were withered and turned yellow, but most of them were still alive.

People's eyes are discerning. As the drought intensifies, the gap between improved varieties and ordinary varieties widens. With the same water, it is obvious that improved varieties grow better.Now no one needs to say anything, the villagers know how to choose.

The villagers who were not optimistic at first, ridiculed and even squeezed out those who bought good breeds suddenly felt their faces were swollen.They are bitter and regretful, but there is no regret medicine to take. They can only watch others spend the same energy but take care of more fields.

"Hey, isn't this Aunt Hua? Hey, I called you, why did you run away?" The woman who was speaking saw Aunt Hua who was not getting along with her family run away, not to mention how happy she was. It doesn't hurt, even the current drought is thrown aside by her.Who asked Aunt Hua to bury her house in the sky, now it's over, it's really bad retribution.

After laughing enough, the woman began to concentrate on the work in the field again. She didn't have much time to waste on irrelevant people.

"Bah, I didn't expect the good thing to be taken by that dead woman. It's really bad luck." Aunt Hua hurried for a while, looked around, and then began to mutter, "Whoever is cheap is bad, why is it cheap for her family?"

There are not many villagers who hate each other like the woman and Aunt Hua, but similar situations appear in many places.Most of the people who bought good seeds before were laughed at, but now it's the other way around.

The Shen family gave all the villagers a chance, and it depends on whether they can seize it. They should have caused the current situation. It will not be so easy to get better seeds in the future.

"Father, here it is." Shen Bi stood on tiptoe, raised a pair of small hands high, and a transparent crystal was exposed in the palm.

Fang Tianlin bent down and said with a smile: "What is this?" After saying that, he took the transparent crystal from Chen Bi's hand.

As soon as the two came into contact, Fang Tianlin's head hurt like a piercing pain. He forced himself to control his figure so as not to be on top of his elder son. Then a groggy.

Shen Bi didn't know what happened, he ran to Fang Tianlin, pulling and pulling, Fang Tianlin still maintained the posture just now, without any movement.Shen Zhang and Shen Huang also surrounded Fang Tianlin and kept yelling, but Fang Tianlin still ignored them.

The triplets immediately opened their throats and began to howl, the cries were sharp and piercing.

"What's the matter, what's the matter?" Shen Jiahe was sitting under the eaves weaving baskets, and when he heard the children's shrill howls, he immediately dropped his things and rushed into the room.Except for the first month of birth, the triplets seldom cried so miserably, Shen Jiahe was extremely anxious.

"Father, Father." The triplets hiccupped from crying, and pointed at Fang Tianlin who was lying on the bed with three hands at the same time.

Shen Jiahe became more and more anxious, the child was crying so fiercely that the daughter-in-law didn't respond at all, so nothing happened.He rushed to the kang in twos and saw his daughter-in-law, who used to sleep peacefully, was now sweating on her forehead, her face was distorted from time to time, obviously suffering from inhuman pain.

Shen Jiahe put Fang Tianlin flat on the kang, then turned his head and said to several people who rushed into the room: "Big brother, second brother and fourth younger brother, you go to the town with me to invite a doctor, fourth younger siblings, please take care of Tianlin for me."

"It will be fine with me and your father here, hurry up and be careful on the way." Mrs. Zhang also had a pale face, not much better than Fang Tianlin who was lying on the bed.
