Chapter 58 What a great harvest!
No matter how complicated Ji Huai's heart was, he could not stop his parents who indulged their naughty child.
The village chief almost burst out laughing when he heard such an old child talk about his whole life in an old-fashioned manner. Ye Ning couldn't find whether to laugh or cry, so he had to hold her close to him and let her turn the joystick a few times with her own hands.
Then he asked: "How was it? Do you still regret it in this life?"
Cheng Miaomiao had a great time and shook her head happily: "No regrets!"
She touched here, touched there, and finally even wanted to pull the cow's tail to try. Ji Huai quickly picked her up and left to prevent her from being kicked by the cow's hooves. Suddenly, he knew how to be a brother without any teacher.
.
The two of them played the game of chase and catch for a long time.
When we got tired and stopped to rest, we found that the adults had stopped at some point, and their faces were solemn.
At that time, Cheng Erlang counted the last packed bag of grain. He couldn't help but rub his fingers and counted the bags again. He pursed his dry lips and felt surprised, happy and confused. How could this happen?
Woolen cloth?
Ye Ning's expression was also a bit incredulous.
But, this is so shocking.
Seven bags of grain were neatly placed there. These bags were not very big and only filled about 70 kilograms. The total amount was 490 kilograms.
This means that one acre of land contains at least 245 kilograms of grain.
In recent years, even the fertile fields carefully tended by the villagers have produced only dozens of kilograms more grain than this amount.
This is a really good harvest!
Aunt Lin was shocked and subconsciously thought of her own vegetable garden, which was still blooming and bearing fruit. How similar was the situation in front of her!
Zhang Wei counted it back and forth twice to make sure it was correct.
He took a breath and asked in surprise: "Isn't the land you were allocated poor land? How come there are so many?"
Yes, it is indeed poor land.
And this year I didn’t even use any fertilizer.
Cheng Erlang scratched his head: "I don't know, it was just planted like this."
When it was time to harvest, he felt something was wrong. The harvest from the two acres of land he was assigned totaled more than two hundred kilograms, so he was satisfied.
Now what is the difference between this and food falling from the sky?
Zhang Wei's Adam's apple rolled, and he thought about all the guesses that came up in his mind. Throwing away the unrealistic ones, there was only the last possibility left.
Thinking of this, his eyes lit up instantly.
——His grain crops are good!
If, if everyone in the village could use this high-yield grain...
Zhang Wei clenched his fists nervously and suppressed his blush. His eyes when he looked at Cheng Erlang were as warm as if he were seeing his own brother.
Cheng Miaomiao stuck her head out to take a look, and was startled by his somewhat distorted expression.
He asked doubtfully: "Isn't it good to have plenty of food?"
Why don't everyone look very happy?
She opened her eyes in shock, "No way, no way, there's no one who doesn't like growing a lot of food!"
Zhang Wei gasped and said excitedly: "Okay! Of course!"
He stretched out his hand and patted Cheng Erlang's shoulder hard, his face flushed: "Brother, don't touch these grains for now. I'll go to your parents' house first."
As he said that, he couldn't help but ran out quickly.
Cheng Miaomiao raised her head and looked at Ji Huai. The child had not yet learned how to hide his emotions.
You can see her guilty and nervous expression with just one glance.
The harvest in the fields should have something to do with her.
Ji Huai had completely lost his memory and could not yet guess what the village chief's reaction was. However, he rubbed the little girl's head and comforted her: "It must be a good thing anyway."
His tone was very determined.
What the eldest child said must be right! Cheng Miaomiao felt relieved: "Yeah!"
Ye Ning, who heard the conversation between the two, couldn't help but feel dumbfounded.
Ye Ning paused slightly as his eyes fell on the two people who were close to each other. Ji Huai looked more and more like an older brother.
Thinking of this, she suddenly felt a little worried.
It's not good to get along too well, but Ji Huai will leave one day, and Miaomiao will be so sad at that time.
…
The next day, the early morning sunlight shone on Xiaohe Village, and a fresh coolness drifted in the air.
Cheng Miaomiao was covered with a thin quilt and sleeping on the mat with his back stretched out.
She felt the bright light in a daze, and just when she was about to turn over and continue sleeping, her ears suddenly moved slightly, and the noisy sounds outside gradually reached her ears.
"Erlang, does your family really have five shi of food?"
"How can you grow five stones from your two acres of land?!"
"Oh my God!"
…
The people standing at the door were all villagers who came to join in the fun.
That's two acres of land, nearly 500 kilograms! Farmers who have been growing crops for most of their lives, after the drought in the past few years, have already accepted the fact that production is decreasing year by year. I have never seen anyone able to grow so much.
Someone couldn't help but said: "Erlang, don't be so embarrassed and report the numbers randomly!"
Cheng Erlang directly opened the door of the warehouse and said helplessly: "Uncles, you can count. If I declare too much, I will pay more taxes when the time comes. There is no reason to cheat myself just because I want to save face."
Everyone counted them, and their eyes widened in shock.
Some people didn't believe in evil, so they weighed the weight of each bag with their hands, and found that it really added up to five stones?!
Old man Cheng and old lady Zhao also followed everyone here early in the morning to see what was going on.
No one knows the situation of those two acres of land better than them.
If it weren't for the poor harvest, how could Old Man Cheng allocate the fields to Erlang so easily? Their family could only have such a harvest if they had good fertilized fields, so how could they have such poor fields!
Yes, the Cheng family's harvest is no different from before.
After Zhang Wei repeatedly confirmed it, he left the Cheng family in disappointment, but this made it even more obvious how precious the high-yielding rice that Cheng Erlang's family suddenly grew up was.
It may not have been a high-yielding grain before, but it can be from this moment on.
Mrs. Zhao squeezed in from the crowd.
She was so angry that she jumped up and pointed at Cheng Erlang and cursed: "You're going to die! Did you secretly fertilize the fields?! I was wondering why the fertilizer at home was used up so quickly during that time!"
Cheng Dalang couldn't help but said: "Second brother, have you already made the plan?"
The two acres of good land he was allocated amounted to just over four dan.
The expressions on the faces of the Cheng family brothers became a little ugly. How come their harvests were almost the same, but Erlang's two-acre field had a good harvest? How could there be such a coincidence in this world?
At this time, they did not realize that most of the Cheng family's fields were taken care of by Cheng Erlang.
Including these two acres of poor land that they thought were hopeless.
Cheng Erlang looked at him in astonishment and said, "Mom, brother, why do you think so... You obviously divided all the fat in the house..."
"Then who knows if you have used it secretly in private?"
He was interrupted before he finished speaking.
Qian's tone was mean and jealous: "No wonder you agreed without saying a word when my father and mother divided the land. It turned out that you had a back-up plan. You really want your father and mother to give you these two acres of land."
Cheng Miaomiao, who ran out rubbing his eyes, happened to hear this.
She immediately became angry.
This is obviously her contribution!
