Farmer’s Little Girl

  Chapter 3351 Extraordinarily powerful sister 6

  Bai Jingxing looked puzzled, "But didn't my father say that the food is high in various places, and the country is safe? How can she still eat badly?"

   Zhou Man stood up and put on his clothes and said, “Good food and full food are two different things. Moreover, although the food in various places is high-yield, it is indeed the country and the people. But who would say that there are no poor people in this world?”

  "It has only been 16 years since the introduction of new rice seeds. If you want to truly be hungry in the world, I'm afraid you have to do it for a few more 16 years."

   "How come, the big cousin clearly said that the yield per mu in the experimental field in Jingzhou is now over nine shi. Is such a high yield per mu not enough for the whole family to eat?" Bai Jingxing doubted: "Aren't they lazy?"

Zhou Man: "There are naturally lazy people in the world, but in addition to laziness, accidents and illnesses can also cause poverty. Also, some people have no land, and they are born poor; some people have land, so they can live that life. There is too much poverty of all kinds and hardships."

   Zhou Man put on her clothes and screamed outside, and then a girl took warm water to wash her up. While calling for water to wash her face, she asked her, "You are interested in this..."

   "It's just strange. If people are diligent, how can they still be poor when food is so high and cheap?"

  Every year, Bai Shan will do a summary of food prices in various places. Bai Jingxing and Xia Mu often get into trouble. In addition to being copied, Bai Shan will be called to copy and summarize the data from time to time.

  In fact, it is to copy the food prices of previous years and this year into a table, so that Bai Shan can see it at a glance.

Therefore, Bai Jingxing knows how the price of food has been declining in recent years. Now, when the price of food in Beijing is low, the price of grain has dropped to two cents and one bucket, and the price of rice is three cents and one bucket, which is better than her father. When the mother said that there was a flood in the hour, when the price of rice was thirty cents per pound, it was much cheaper.

  I can’t get enough to eat here, so if she put her parents aside for a while, wouldn’t she starve to death?

Bai Jingxing looked unconvinced, and Zhou Man said: "You have to be really curious. When you come to the doctor and deliver the medicine, you can ask the poor people what they do each year, what their harvest is, what they do every day, and eat. what……"

  Bai Jingxing: "Isn't this a waste of time?"

   "You are a waste of time if you ignore it and insist on your own prejudices," Zhou Man said: "You don't understand the truth when you should. It's not just your own time that is wasted."

   Zhou Man wiped his hands very generously and said generously: "Okay, go, I can let you do a little less work today."

  When Bai Jingxing really asked, he realized that there are many paths to happiness, but there are many more reasons for people's misfortune.

  She was stunned.

  A little lady who was sent in from the wooden shed No.7 was the same size as her, and she was also ten years old.

  She also has an older brother, thirteen years old, who was also sick and was placed in another wooden shed. Her parents had already died of illness a few days ago.

  The two brothers and sisters will have a hard time in the future.

  But before the epidemic, their family's life was not easy.

  Their family has land, which is her father’s Yongye field. Although only 12 acres are allocated, which is not enough to count, there are four acres of paddy fields. Carefully cultivated, it is enough to feed a family of four.

  Bai Jingxing asked her what she had to do every day, and found that she had to sweep the floor every morning when she got up early every morning, then went to the river to wash clothes, and when she came back, she would go out to beat pig grass and cook pig food...

  Her mother is cooking, feeding pigs, hoeing vegetable fields, planting vegetables, watering...

  In the second half of the day, she can go out and play with her friends. As for food, the gruel in the morning, the multi-grain porridge at noon, and the steamed buns in the evening...

According to her, this kind of life is much better than before. When she was very young, their family only ate two meals a day. It was porridge in the morning and porridge in the evening. It was not the day when she went to the ground. The porridge was very special. , Steamed buns are also made with wheat bran...

Her father and brother are not lazy, but they just can’t save money. They don’t make much money from the food sold every year. I heard that there is no shortage of food outside, so their family is reluctant to sell a lot of food. Three meals, one evening meal is particularly good.

  She feels that eating white rice or steamed buns with white noodles at night is already a very good life.

  Because they can’t save the money, their family has decided to tell her to kiss her. When she is thirteen years old, her brother will marry when she is sixteen, and then take the gift money to her brother to marry a daughter-in-law...

  The little lady looked sad and regretful, "Unfortunately, my parents are dead, I am afraid that no one will tell me to kiss me, and my brother will not be able to marry a daughter-in-law."

  Bai Jingxing was silent and speechless.

  At night, the mother and daughter talked about each other. Bai Jingxing told her story specially, and was puzzled, “Why are the food prices so low? They can’t save money.”

   Zhou Man said: "If there is more food in the world, the price of food will naturally be lower. This is a good thing."

   "But they can't make money."

  "Then ask her, are life better than before?"

  Bai Jingxing: "No need to ask, she has already said it."

   "That's it. Before, their family couldn't save money, but in the future, they will have the opportunity to save money."

   "How to save it?" Bai Jingxing couldn't help but sit up, and asked with piercing eyes: "Mother, are the food prices going up?"

   "Silly boy, if the price of food rises to the point where they can make money, ordinary people will suffer in the end," Zhou Man said: "Don't always stare at the price of food. You want to make money from the price of food."

  She said: “There are so many things that can make money in this world. Didn’t you expect it? With such low food prices, it’s actually better for them to make money.”

  Bai Jingxing looked confused.

Zhou Man said: "Humans, after eating a full meal, they will think about eating a good meal. As I said, it’s not the same to eat well. You touch your head, your symmetrical figure, this is white. Can rice and white steamed buns be raised?"

   "Because my father is tall?"

   Zhou Man: "...Because your mother I give you goat milk, lamb, chicken, and eggs every day. You count it with your fingers. How many good things did you eat every day at home?"

"This is the reason why you can get so good," she said: "People in this world are like this. The grain yield per mu has increased. They finally don't have to use all the land for growing food, and they don't have to put all the manpower on planting. In terms of food, the final harvest is not enough to be full."

  "They can grow and breed other things on the land, and they also have manpower to do other things. These incomes are all money."

  Bai Jingxing slid his fingers to smooth the logic, and finally reacted, "The basis of all this is the increase in yield per mu and high grain yield?"

   Zhou Man nodded.

  Bai Jingxing was speechless, "It turns out that my big cousin is so good, and he did such a big thing."
