Chapter 19 Public Regeneration Rice

The most intuitive result of this cutting method is that Shen Qingyan and Shen Yixiu's rice cutting speed has plummeted. Shen Yixiu felt like he was back to the first time he did farm work. He couldn't even grasp the sickle and cut two rice fields. I feel tired and have backache.

But Shen Yixiu did not complain, but kept working hard.

Because the eldest brother said it was asked by my sister-in-law.

There must be a reason for his sister-in-law to do this, and he believed in her.

The Shen brothers did not stop cutting until sunset, and only the small piece of land that covered Liu Yue was left.

Shen Ling'an came back tired from playing long ago and sat next to Liu Yue to eat the nougat that Liu Yue gave her in the afternoon.

Her sister-in-law gave her a total of fifteen pieces of candy. She gave them to Orchid and Peach Blossom, and ate three pieces for herself. She also left one piece for each of her eldest, second, and third brothers, so she could still eat one, twenty-seven pieces!

Liu Yue saw Shen Ling'an counting her candies over and over, finding a branch and drawing on the ground to teach Shen Ling'an to recognize Arabic numerals. When Shen Qingyan came over from his work, Shen Ling'an was squatting on the ground writing one to nine in a painful way.

My sister-in-law is usually very gentle, but why did she become so serious when she started teaching? She just wanted to eat a piece of candy before learning. As a result, my sister-in-law confiscated all her candy.

After calling Shen Qingyan and the others, they were done, so Liu Yue temporarily suspended her teaching duties.

"Are you done?"

"Well, let's go home."

In ancient times, the main lighting methods were oil lamps and candles, both of which were not cheap for lower-class farmers. Therefore, Yuhe Village strictly adhered to the principle of "working at sunrise and resting at sunset", and everyone stopped their work at this time. Get ready to go home.

The fields where the rice had just been cut were all bare, but the Shen family's field with half of the roots still looked particularly eye-catching.

Shen Qingyan did not publicize the matter of regenerated rice, so the people in the village didn't understand what the Shen family was going to do, and they all talked in low voices.

"What is the Shen family doing?"

"I don't know. This is not the first year that the Shen family has been busy with the autumn harvest. They don't know how to harvest rice."

Shen Qingyan's father used to be the only scholar in the village. He opened a private school in the town and lived a relatively prosperous life. Therefore, although the Shen family also farmed before, they always hired long-term laborers to do the work. Knowing that his parents had died of illness one after another, In order to treat his illness, Shen Qingyan sold most of his family property, leaving only a brick house and five acres of land. Naturally, they could not afford long-term workers to help them work, so Shen Qingyan put down his pen and paper and began to learn farming.

At first, Shen Qingyan's eyes darkened and he didn't know where to start. There were many people in the village waiting to see his joke, saying things like "A useless scholar" every day, but the twelve-year-old Shen Qingyan insisted on He gritted his teeth and learned how to farm, and even managed his own fields better than those in the village who had been farming for many years.

"I'm afraid I suddenly became stupid. If I weren't stupid, I wouldn't marry a sick wife."

"I don't think so. The eldest son of the Shen family is the most shrewd."

“I’m afraid there’s no way to harvest rice like this.”

Old Li Tou was the most enthusiastic and had a good relationship with the Shen family. He walked over and asked, "Xiaoyan, why do you keep such long rice stalks?"

When people in the village saw someone taking the initiative to ask, they all listened to Shen Qingyan's side of the story.

Shen Qingyan had long expected that this cutting method would attract the attention of the villagers. He had already made up a rhetoric in his mind, but when he looked at Old Li's shriveled and thin face, he hesitated and struggled for a long time.

, still told the truth: "I want to try to see if I can grow regenerated rice."

They were all digging in the soil, and he knew very well how important the harvest was to the people in the village. Old Li Tou had helped his family a lot in the past few years, and he didn't want to lie to him.

It was obviously the first time Lao Li Tou heard this statement, and he was a little stunned: "Again, regenerated rice?"

He has been doing farm work all his life, but he has never heard that rice can regenerate.

Liu Yue took the initiative to explain: "I asked Qingyan to do this."

Shen Qingyan's behavior of changing the circumcision method was very sudden. The only variable was her arrival. Even if Shi Liuyue didn't admit it, a smart person could guess that it was her idea.

It's better to admit it openly from the beginning.

As for the reason for doing this, Liu Yue had already compiled it.

Liu Yue looked embarrassed and explained in a slightly shocked tone, "I have seen in a journal that some rice roots can sprout again, so I wanted to try it. After all, Uncle Li, you also know the situation in our family."

"

As for why I didn’t try it after seeing it before? Her character is that of a down-and-out wealthy businesswoman. There was no need to farm before, right?

The matter of regenerated rice is a bit contrary to common sense. Liu Yue's solemn promise that it will be successful will definitely arouse others' suspicion. Instead, it is better to attribute the matter to the fact that their family is too poor, so it is easier to win people's trust if they make a whimsical statement.

Sure enough, the villagers accepted this statement very well and expressed their own personal opinions on it.

Little Mrs. Zhang sneered: "I and I have never heard of any saying that rice can regenerate. I'm afraid Mrs. Liu is just daydreaming."

Because Liu Yue "charmed" Liu Ershi at noon, Xiao Zhang suddenly became the person who hated Liu Yue the most in Yuhe Village.

This time, few people agreed with her.

Even Zhou, who must have been on the opposite side of the Shen family in the past, hesitated: "Is what Liu said true?"

"I don't know, I've never heard of such a thing before."

"But if it turns out to be true, our harvest this year will be much better."

"If it doesn't work, who will you turn to to redress your grievances after wasting so much time? The Shen family will not be responsible."

Most of the villagers were skeptical about this matter, but they couldn't resist the temptation of doubling the harvest.

Old Li Tou was a little moved, and wanted to get some confirmation from Liu Yue: "My wife, Xiaoyan, how sure are you that this will happen?"

The people in the village held their breath and waited for Liu Yue's answer.

Liu Yue didn't dare to guarantee anything, so she said vaguely: "You have to try to find out."

The cultivation of regenerated rice also involves a series of issues such as fertilization and irrigation in the later stage. She is not a professional. If she takes over the task in a hurry, she will not only get little benefit, but it will also be easy to follow the instructions.

Anyway, she has said the method, and it is up to you whether you want to try it or not.

Liu Yue let Shen Qingyan push her wheelchair away without any psychological burden.

It's almost six o'clock, and it's time to feed the pups again.

The villagers were still hesitating in the fields.

You may say this is a lie. The Shen family has taken the lead in trying it and actively shared the method. You may say it is true, but Ms. Liu said she does not know exactly how many new ears can grow.

Can this thing be done?

If they try to plant regenerated rice, they will have to go up the mountain to dig wild vegetables and prepare food for the winter. If they fail, who will make up for their losses? But if they don't plant it and someone else does it, then thanks

ah.

No one in the village could decide what to pay attention to. After hesitating for a long time, they decided to ask Li Zheng, who had the most say in the village, to make the decision.

When Li Zheng took a puff of dry cigarette, he would think of the bright eyes that looked at each other at noon, and he would say with final words: "Plant!"

I always feel that Miss Liu is not a creature in the pond.

I've been too busy with things in the second dimension recently (I went home to take care of my sister, and the little brat consumed my energy too much). In addition, I revised all the previous novels today, so the update is a little slow.
