Chapter 24 Father's Trust

Chapter 24 Father’s Trust

"It's true. I don't dare to lie about this. If my father doesn't believe it, I can experiment with a small piece of land first. If it works, I can then carry out large-scale planting."

After answering, Wei Ruo looked at Wei Mingting, and she was not sure what Wei Mingting's attitude would be.

Wei Mingting's expression was serious and his tone was stern: "Ruo'er, do you know how big a deal it would be to grow crops on saline-alkali land?"

"I know. Father, I went to the north of the city a few days ago. On the way, I saw many farmers and fishermen turned into beggars. They looked haggard and had no food to eat. All of this was due to the poor harvest of food in Xingshan County in recent years and the loss of land.

Barren and limited.”

"Father, I know this is a big deal, but if it happens, it will be a good thing for the family and the people. It will not only bring income to our own family, but also increase the cultivated land in Xingshan County and increase food production. When the time comes, we can

Feed more people; I hope my father will give me a chance, and if I fail, I am willing to accept the punishment."

Wei Ruolai's words made Wei Mingting look surprised, and he looked at Wei Ruolai again.

Wei Ruo stood there, not dodging or hiding. She had already expected that such a situation would happen when she decided to discuss the matter with the Yun family in the wasteland south of the city.

"Okay, very good." Wei Mingting, who had always been serious about his words, suddenly said "ok" twice in a row.

He was a strict father and rarely gave praise to his children. Even Wei Yichen, who excelled in academics, rarely gave such clear praise.

This made the Yun family on the side couldn't help but be surprised.

Wei Mingting said to Wei Ruo: "It is very rare that you have such an idea. My father will talk to the county magistrate about this matter. No matter whether it can be done or not, it is always good for you to have this intention."

Wei Ruo raised his head, looking surprised.

She had never expected that Wei Mingting would agree so readily, and she had already made plans to communicate with Wei Mingting again.

"What's wrong? Don't you have confidence?" Wei Mingting asked.

"No, I have confidence."

"Then go ahead and do it. I heard from your mother that you still miss the farming life in the countryside these days when you are back home. You also grew a lot of vegetables in the yard."

"yes."

"Although farming is inelegant, it is by no means shameful. Our country has always attached great importance to farming. It is a good thing to be able to cultivate good land and serve the country and the people."

Unexpectedly, Wei Mingting gave high praise to Wei Ruo's behavior.

"My daughter knows."

"Well, it's getting late. You should go back and rest first. I will send someone to inform you when the matter becomes clearer."

Wei Mingting looked very tired, so he didn't let Wei Ruo talk more, and let Wei Ruo go back after finishing what they wanted to talk about.

On the way back, Wei Ruo thought about Wei Mingting's words.

Wei Mingting didn't appear much in the original work. Firstly, he was busy with official duties, secondly, he had such a personality, and thirdly, he died early.

Therefore, Wei Ruo didn't know much about him at first.

But the conversation just now gave her a different understanding of Wei Mingting.

After Wei Ruo left, Yun helped Wei Mingting change his clothes and bandage his arm again.

"Husband, if Ruo'er is a girl after all, if she goes to the fields all day long, I'm afraid it will be bad for her in the future..." Mrs. Yun told Wei Mingting her worries.

"Ruo'er, this child, has grown up in the countryside. If you insist on her being like Wanwan, it will be too difficult for her."

"I don't expect her to be as knowledgeable and sensible as Wanwan, but if she acts like a peasant woman all day long, that's not acceptable." Mrs. Yun said worriedly.

"Madam, in the past few years in Xingshan County, you should have seen the suffering of the people. How miserable are the people at the bottom? Why talk about immorality? Only when people have enough food can they be in the mood to consider issues of immorality. If

If you don't even have your life, how can you talk about good or bad?"

Wei Mingting's views were different from Yun's. In the past few years in Xingshan County, he had seen a lot of life and death, as well as a lot of poverty. He felt that in the face of these, the tricks played by the dignitaries in the capital had no practical significance.

"What your husband said is true. For the people, having enough food and clothing is the most important thing."

Yun didn't expect that Wei Ruo's thoughts coincided with her husband's thoughts. She had been married to her husband for many years, and she couldn't quite understand what her husband thought about many things.

"Husband, it's better not to think about these things. It's rare for you to go home and have a good rest. You don't even say that you are injured."

Yun didn't want Wei Mingting to worry about these trivial matters anymore.

I knew that my husband must not have had a good rest in the military camp, so he was so tired and injured. Although the wound was not deep, if it was not treated properly, it would leave the root of the disease.

Wei Mingting really needs to rest and will go back to the military camp early tomorrow morning.

However, he was still concerned about Wei Ruoti's matter.

Before going to the military camp the next day, he went to the magistrate's office and talked with the magistrate about the wasteland in the south of the city.

When the county magistrate learned that the Wei family wanted to try farming the wasteland, he agreed immediately.

It wasn't that he didn't agree with other people to do this, but he was worried about allowing other people to enter and leave the South City Gate, for fear that some collaborators and traitors would appear and bring out the defense plans of Xingshan County or something like that.

But the Wei family didn't need to worry, so they agreed readily.

After getting the results, Wei Mingting sent someone to deliver a letter home.

Seeing that her husband was so concerned about this matter, Mrs. Yun had nothing to say.

Yun called Wei Ruo to her and told her the good news: "Ruo'er, your father has already sent a letter about the matter in the south of the city. You can start planting in a small area there. If it is effective, it will be a great success."

pieces.”

Having said that, Yunshi has no hope that Wei Ruo can succeed.

"Okay." Wei Ruo was also very happy. He didn't expect Wei Mingting to be so helpful and get the matter done so quickly.

"Your father also said that you don't need to be too stressed. It doesn't matter if you don't achieve results. There won't be much loss."

"Yeah." Wei Mingting's attitude made Wei Ruo feel a little moved.

Yunshi then said: "But Ruo'er, you are not young anymore. You should be studying at this time. I originally planned to let you go to the magistrate's house to study with Wanwan and the others after you have learned the rules from Grandma Li.

, the county magistrate’s wife also agreed to this matter.”

Wei Ruo: "I don't want to go to the magistrate's house to study. I'm not from the same family as them. It would be very difficult to force them to study together. Why don't you let me do something I'm good at."

Yun: "Ruo'er, you need to change some of your old ideas. As the daughter of the Wei family, you should learn to be a well-educated, sensible, beautiful, and wise young lady. Of course, because you have been eating in the countryside in the past few years,

Kutou, I won't be too demanding on you, and I won't ask you to be as knowledgeable as Wanwan."

Wei Ruo: "But I may not be able to keep up with the teachings of Mr. Fu from the magistrate's office. If you really want me to learn, I don't want to go to the county magistrate's office to learn."

Not being able to keep up was an excuse Wei Ruo made for himself. The main purpose was not to be with Wei Qingwan, Qian Zhilan and the others.
