Chapter 44 Envy

But unfortunately, Shen Yuling's ideas were completely different from those of Shen Laosi and his wife. She could not convince her biological father, nor could she convince her biological mother, so the matter ended up being nothing.

The days went by like this, and it seemed that in just a blink of an eye, it was the end of the year again. Because this year's crop harvest was not very good, almost all of Fang Youshun's allowance was spent on food, so he could not buy a new home for any of the Shen brothers and sisters.

Yishang, reluctantly bought some candy in order to reward Shen Yuxiu and Shen Yulin for getting into the top five. After dividing it between the two, the remaining pieces were equally divided among Shen Yuwen's brothers and sisters like last year, and these pieces of candy were also

This has become the only sweet spot for these brothers and sisters this year.

After the New Year, everyone became one year older. At the beginning of February, a child's wails sounded in the Shen family's yard. Shen Yuxiu had a younger sister from then on.

Her father named this sister Shen Yusui, the ear of wheat, because it didn’t snow too much last year, and her father hoped that the wheat would be better this year and still produce good ears of wheat.

Shen Yuxiu was stunned when she heard this.

Is the name chosen so casually? Just to have a good harvest?

Shen Yuxiu looked at her baby sister who looked like a red monkey and couldn't help but ask Grandma Fang: "What about me, why am I called Shen Yuxiu? What does this sleeve mean?"

"What does that mean? It's that when you were just born, you could wrap it up with a sleeve of your mother's clothes. Your father thought you were born weird, so he called you Xiaoxiu." Grandma Fang said with a smile.

The origin of her name.

Shen Yuxiu grinned when she heard this. She couldn't believe that her name was chosen so casually.

Fortunately, when she was in school, she was very proud of her name. After all, her name was very eye-catching among the eldest nies, ernies, Zhaodi, Laidi, and flowers in the village. But it turned out that it was just because

When you were born, you were small enough to be covered with one sleeve?

Isn't this too casual?

Shen Yuxiu was a little unhappy, but children are forgetful, so she forgot all about it within a few days. At the same time, another shocking news came from the village.

One night, her father Shen Jinggui and her grandparents suddenly started talking at the dinner table.

It is said that the farms in the east have been mechanized this year, and several tractors and water pumps have been introduced. Now the farms in the east are diverting water from the Yellow River for irrigation.

It is said that with these machines, even if there is another drought in the future, as long as there is water in the Yellow River, the crops will no longer be short of water or even die from drought.

Although Shen Yuxiu was confused and didn't know what these things called machines looked like, she could see how excited and envious her father was.

Of course, Shen Jinggui is not the only one who is envious of the east farm, but almost everyone. Who doesn't envy the good thing that you can water your crops without waiting for rain?

Although the tractors and water pumps were from other people's farms and had nothing to do with the villagers like them, people still couldn't help but talk about them for a long time. Some people were even secretly calculating how much harvest their team would get.

, How many days of frugality can I afford to buy such a machine?

If their own team also has these two things, will they no longer have to look at God's face to eat?

And this news stirred the hearts of not only adults, but also the children going to school who were chattering excitedly every day.

They imagined what the so-called tractor looked like and what the water pump looked like, but even after exhausting their imagination, they could not come up with the specific appearance of those things.

As the days passed and people were tired of talking about this big news, the weather became dry again. The seepage pit behind the village where people drew water could no longer feed the whole village, and even the Yellow River was full of water.

The flow is cut off. Fortunately, even if the flow is cut off, the water in the river is still enough for people to eat. Otherwise, the people here may not even have water to drink.

At the time of wheat harvest, because God did not provide enough moisture for the wheat to form ears, the summer grain production of each team and brigade was seriously reduced. On the contrary, the summer grain harvest in the farms to the east was a bumper harvest, with strong and plump wheat ears.

I suddenly donated a large batch of patriotic food when there was drought everywhere.

Not long after the summer grain collection, the commune issued a notice disbanding the canteen.

After this notification, each team quickly distributed the food to each household according to the method of one person working seven times three times. From then on, people no longer had to touch a spoon in a big pot.

At the same time, each team also allocated some private land to the members. The commune strongly encouraged and supported people to open up wasteland in those idle wastelands, striving for each team to plant more land and harvest more food.

In this way, Shen Yuxiu stopped digging wild vegetables and brought them to school every day, and instead went home for lunch after school.

Fang Youshun, who originally planned to run away with his children again during the summer vacation because of the poor harvest this year, also concentrated on cultivating his own land.

The basin of melon vines in the yard that he brought back last year produced dozens of kilograms of sweet potatoes in the fall. The yield was much higher than that of wheat and other grains. But at that time, because he had to eat in the canteen, there was no private land.

I didn’t dare to plant too much, so I only left a few pieces of sweet potatoes as seeds, and let the children eat the rest.

But now that the canteen has been disbanded and he has his own land, he must plant as much as he can. Of course, in order not to delay the planting season, he did not wait for the sweet potato seedlings to slowly grow branches, then pinch them out and plant them in the ground.

Instead, he directly rode a three-wheel to the place where he had bought sweet potato seedlings and bought three rounds of sweet potato seedlings. He then planted them in the private plots of his family and his daughter-in-law's family.

Fearing that the sweet potato seedlings would be damaged by drought, Fang Youshun always got up early every morning and took pots and jars from home to the Yellow River to water the fields, hoping that the sweet potato seedlings would be more successful and produce more sweet potatoes.

Early that morning, Fang Youshun had dinner and rode a tricycle to bring water to the Yellow River as usual. After dinner, Grandma Fang asked Shen Yuxiu, brother and sister to lock the door when they went to school, and went to her daughter's house.

While going to hold Shen Yusui, who was about five months old, he called Shen Yujun so that the couple could take their two eldest children to work.

Now Shen Yuwen and Shen Yuzhen can earn five work points. Today's work points are no longer as useless as when they ate in the canteen. One more work point now means more food, so why not go?

Now Fang Yan, his wife and the children no longer have breakfast in the Fang family yard, mainly because Shen Yusui still needs to breastfeed, and Fang Yan is very tired from taking care of the children all night, so she is not willing to rush here so early in the morning.

Moreover, Shen Jinggui knew how to cook, and Shen Yuzhen was pretty good at cooking. They would simply eat at home in the morning. When they were full, they would send the two little ones to Grandma Fang, or Grandma Fang. After picking up the two children here, they can go directly to work.

Shen Yulin didn't know what was going on today. After the two adults left, he wolfed down a few mouthfuls. Seeing that Shen Yuxiu was still eating leisurely, he told her to finish eating later and go to school. He walked away in a hurry.

This kind of thing has happened more than once, and Shen Yuxiu has long been accustomed to it. She looked at his back as he left in a hurry and continued to eat his meal slowly.
