Chapter 774 Experimental Field
After the spring plowing season, half of the staff outside were withdrawn and brought back.
Currently, less than 20% of the irrigation and drainage ditches in Songxian Village have been dug. It is unknown how many years it will take to complete the project.
Tang He showed her, "The most difficult part right now is these stones. It will take at least half a year to carve these stones. Once this part is over, the rest will be quick."
Zhou Guo nodded. She didn't know much about this, but she thought the progress was already very fast. "Engineer Tang, you can handle this. Just withdraw money from the account if you need anything."
The projects in other counties are progressing faster than here.
She felt that within two years, these places would be able to grow not only crops but at least pasture.
Erpang planted some alfalfa in several experimental fields on the farm. Now, there are dots of new green, and there are indeed many more sprouts than last year.
She simply settled down in Song County again and sowed the rice seeds she bought.
These are late rice varieties she bought specially. The spring plowing had passed so long ago that she didn't consider whether they would bear fruit if planted at this time. As long as the rice could take root, sprout, grow and survive, she would be successful.
I also scattered some rice seeds from my home on the land. After all, rice is the king of yield in this era. If it can take root in this land, it would be amazing.
Seeing this, Tang He asked, "Can this be grown?"
Zhou Guo explained, "I don't want it to be planted now. Even if it doesn't bloom and bear fruit, it's good enough to be alive. If the rice seedlings can grow and survive, they may be able to survive in these fields next year."
Tang He didn't know any of this, so he nodded in confusion. It seemed that this method worked.
Under her meticulous care, the rice seeds sprouted a few days later, and there were quite a lot of them.
The first step was successful, and the next step is to cultivate these seedlings well.
Just at this time, news suddenly came from the border that the Hu people had retreated!
As soon as the news came out, the North was in an uproar!
People rushed to tell each other that this was the most fierce and longest war with the Hu people in all those years.
These days, everyone has been unable to eat or sleep well, for fear that the barbarians will break through the border one day. For the entire spring, no one even dared to go out.
Now when people heard that the Hu people had retreated, the streets were full of people.
The street vendors that had disappeared came out and the streets returned to their former bustle.
Zhou Guo was also very happy. General Xu was truly amazing, and the Xu family army was even more amazing. With their own strength, they had managed to make Yannan Pass impregnable.
The soldiers have a hard time, she has to ensure they have enough food to eat.
Every day he stays at the farm and looks after the few acres of experimental fields as if they were his own little eyes.
Li was afraid that she would be as hungry as before, so she called the maid who used to cook for the family over and asked her to cook exclusively for Zhou Guo.
She walked around the farm and frowned, "This is too simple. Do you live here?"
Zhou Guo lived in the same place as everyone else, with each person having their own room, all in a mud and thatched hut.
She said, "It's not bad. When we first came here, the house wasn't as good as this one. We've lived here for so many years. It's enough to have a place that's not exposed to the wind and rain and is warm. This isn't a home, so having a nest is enough."
Li was silent, thinking that when her daughter was at home, she had to have the best bed, the best clothes to wear at night, and the best food to eat. Now there was no fat at home, and the stable in the backyard was separated from the house by a wall, so even the smell could not be smelled.
In fact, she is sometimes very particular, but when she can't be particular, she can just make do.
He sighed, "I'll stay too."
Zhou Guo said, "No need, mother. I am fine except for the poor diet. Besides, it is a busy time at home. A large number of goat mushrooms and flower mushrooms are picked and transported to various prefectures and counties every day. People come and go, and we can't make mistakes. You should go back."
Li hesitated, and this was also the truth.
Zhou Guo continued, "If you are really worried, I will leave Granny Deng here. Although her cooking skills are not as good as yours, they are much better than most people. With her around, you will finally feel relieved, right?"
Li said, "You just had your period, so I can keep an eye on you."
Zhou Guo held her arm and said, "You taught me, how can I not learn this? Don't worry, if I really can't do it, don't I still have Granny Deng? Even if I can't do it, she will, right? Besides, I'm not the type to compromise myself, I will definitely use the best of these things."
When Li heard this, she also felt that it was right. Her daughter was not the type to like to suffer. She would definitely give herself the best within her ability.
"Then I'll go back?"
"Go back. You are more needed at home now. I can take care of myself here. If you stay here to take care of me, isn't that a waste of your talents?"
Li fixed her hair, which didn't really need to be fixed, as her hair was tied up on top of her head like a man's. She sighed and said, "You are the most important to me. The rest, like fat man, goat mushroom, flower mushroom, mountain top, are all dispensable to me. I don't ask for great wealth, as long as we have enough food, clothes and a family together, that's enough."
But in the past two years, the children's pace has become faster and faster, and she has been carried forward.
Zhou Guo said with a smile: "I know, my mother is the best, the best mother in the world. I wear men's clothes and show my face in public all day long, and I am more unruly than my brothers, but you are reluctant to scold me!"
Li also laughed and poked her forehead, "You also know that you look more like a boy than your brothers, right? Go out and look for a girl like you in any family. There is none like you."
Zhou Guo said: "That's why I said you are the best mother in the world. No one can compare to you. Other girls want to be like this but their mothers won't allow it. Since you let me out and raise me as a boy, I will definitely be like my brothers. You don't have to worry too much. After all, I am your 'second son'."
Li walked around the farm and then left. Especially when he saw the acres of green experimental fields, he said nothing and left with peace of mind.
Her daughter was even more capable than she had imagined, much more capable than her brothers. What did she have to worry about? Mrs. Deng was there to take care of her daily life.
……
The refugees have been here for so long that they have already adapted to the new environment and no longer need to eat together.
Despite this, every time it was time to eat, Zhou Guo would still go and get a bowl to try, squatting in the crowd and eating with everyone else.
Everyone is happy. The host eats whatever they eat without any airs. Where can you find such a host?
If they do a good job, they will be paid. But they are refugees. Who would pay refugees? It’s good enough if they have something to eat.
The harder we work, the faster our progress.
