Scholars in the courtyard

What surprised him most was the tractor in the field.

He knows the situation in the country very well. Factories all over the country are working hard to research internal combustion engines in order to catch up with other countries.

But can that thing be easily copied?

Even if the imitation is successful, the production efficiency is not high, and domestic demand is in short supply.

But what he saw here was that the obsolete steam engine, installed on the tractor, actually burst out with powerful power.

Those steam tractors that had to work for a while and had to add coal were very popular on the farm. Moreover, in the northwest, an order for a thousand units is a rare order in the country.

That is to say, a large factory like a steel rolling mill can produce so much.

Looking at Yang Xiaotao's handsome appearance, I remembered the breeding farm in the south of the village. I heard that they raised earthworms and then used them to feed pigs.

When he first heard about this, he found it incredible. Earthworms were just earth dragons. He had seen these things before. They were useful for the land, and they could be seen in large numbers on rainy days.

This is the first time I heard that it can be used to raise pigs.

However, for such a 'ridiculous' idea, the whole village actually approved it. A group of people dug out the big hole on the same day and even bought cement to build the wall. It is simply unreasonable.

When it was done, he also took a look there. A pile of corn stalks was spread on the large pond. From time to time, someone sprinkled water to keep it clear. Below was the soil dug out from the forest. I heard that only the top ten centimeters were thick. layer.

In addition, some pig manure was thrown inside. When he looked at it, he could vaguely see earthworms squirming inside.

It is said that a large pond has been built in Baima Village. The earthworms raised will be used to raise chickens, and then the chicken manure will be returned to the pond to continue raising earthworms.

All in all, this farm was very different from other places he had seen. The people here were not only full of energy and high in revolutionary enthusiasm, but they also had enough food for their bodies and for their children.

Moreover, there is also school.

Looking at the homework in his hands, the math problems and the crooked handwriting made him feel comfortable.

"Teacher Hong, my family has prepared it. Let's go eat together."

While he was lost in thought, Yang Xiaotao came over and said with a smile.

At this time, Yang Xiaotao had figured out that the person in front of him was the Sixth Star in the future.

Ran Qiuye also stood up with a smile. Just now Yang Xiaotao told him that Liu Yuhua had given birth to a daughter, and from now on Little Dragon Boat Festival would also have company to play with.

I am in a good mood and sincerely invite you.

During this time, Teacher Hong gave her the impression that she was a very upright person, and her lectures were humorous and full of love.

It just feels like his man seems to take good care of him.

Although Yang Xiaotao was polite to others, this subtle change could still be felt by the person next to him.

Little did she know that Yang Xiaotao's behavior was not only about his own respect, but also related to the future.

"Eat? Okay!"

When it comes to food, Teacher Hong never sticks to trivial matters.

Besides, he also wanted to talk to Yang Xiaotao, and he had to know some things well.

Teacher Hong stood up, put away the pen, tidied his clothes, and left the office.

Outside, Mr. Yang had already pushed the cart over, and Uncle Jiu and Yang Shitou were carrying wooden buckets with food in them.

It was initially decided that the school would provide lunch, but it was not canceled due to the large number of students. On the contrary, the quality of the meals continues to improve.

All of these are benefits brought by the farm.

When the breeding farms are established, students will have more meat in their lunch boxes.

A few people said hello and walked home.

When he arrived at home, Yang Xiaotao brought out the food, two green vegetables, four salted duck eggs, and a pot of tomato and egg soup. Then there is a pot of Erhe Noodles steamed buns.

The four of them sat down, Yang Xiaotao poured a glass of wine for Mr. Yang, and then prepared to pour it for Teacher Hong.

"No more drinking. We have classes in the afternoon. It's not good for the students to see you."

"Okay, let's save it for tonight."

Yang Xiaotao put the wine bottle aside and greeted him to eat.

After finishing the meal, Ran Qiuye cleared the table and coaxed Xiao Duanwu, the master went to the house to take a nap, and Yang Xiaotao and Yang Xiaotao went out for a walk.

"Teacher Yang, last time you talked about corn, do you have an answer?"

Teacher Hong asked as he walked, and Yang Xiaotao nodded.

Last time the two of them discussed the large-scale planting of corn in the north, but they were short of time and did not go into details.

"Teacher Hong, I think farming is a science. Our ancestors all left down the twenty-four solar terms, which tell when to do what."

"The truth behind this, in modern times, is nothing more than temperature, light, and rain."

"Think about the north, what's going on there? What's the weather? What's the temperature?"

"So, I feel like in some places, if you force corn cultivation, you won't get a harvest."

"Just like if there is insufficient light in some places, the corn will not ear."

Yang Xiaotao said, and Teacher Hong kept nodding his head, obviously in agreement.

If we want to say which nation has the longest history of farming, then there is no one except the Han civilization.

Our ancestors all knew that oranges that grow in Huainan become oranges, and those that grow in northern Huaibei become oranges. Now people know it better.

"Do you think they will succeed?"

Teacher Hong had something to say, but Yang Xiaotao didn't say anything and just shook his head.

The two walked for a while and came to the breeding farm outside the village. They saw Yang Hui leading a few people to sprinkle water into the pond.

The weather is too hot and earthworms like shade, so they need to add water frequently.

"Uncle Tao, Teacher Hong."

Yang Hui came over to say hello and talked about the situation of the breeding farm.

"These earthworms have been growing for a month, and there are many little earthworms in the pond now."

Yang Hui said happily, because these are fertilizers for raising pigs.

Yang Xiaotao nodded, then took the shovel and found a place to copy it. Many earthworms were fished out and fell to the ground struggling.

Squatting on the ground and digging up the soil, there were a bunch of big and small red earthworms inside.

He stretched out his hand and pulled out two large earthworms, one hand long and the little finger thick, with a white ring on the head.

"about there!"

Yang Xiaotao threw the earthworms back into the pool, then clapped his hands and said to Yang Hui, "In another week, they can be fished out."

"Remember, if you put the big ones with white rings back, they will produce little earthworms."

"These are about the same size. Take them out and dry them in the sun. Once they are dry and ground into powder, you can feed them to pigs."

"Put half a catty at a time and mix it into pig food. It's enough for ten pigs!"

Yang Hui nodded aside. Yang Xiaotao had mentioned this to him several times.

But Teacher Hong was keeping it in mind, waiting to go back and write it down.

These are all knowledge and experience.

It will be of great use in the future.

The two then went to the breeding farm to take a look. There were now six sows, about 20 piglets, and eight adult pigs.

After the new year, this number will double.

According to Yang Xiaotao's estimate, it only takes four or five months for him to be ready for the market, and his weight can exceed 150 kilograms.

This is already a high birth rate at the moment.

The two walked around in a circle before going back.

Qinjia Village, the entrance of the village.

Qin Jingru was carrying a bag of corn, looked back at her father, and bit her lip.

Qin's father also looked at Qin Jingru, with sadness and helplessness on his face.

"Jingru, if it doesn't work this time, just listen to dad, okay?"

Father Qin's voice was filled with longing, and he was even a little humble when he spoke.

After hearing this, Qin Jingru just nodded indifferently.

At home, her mother and sister-in-law scolded her every day, making her not want to stay at home all day.

At first they wanted to find a suitable one for Qin Jingru and get her married quickly.

Many people still like Qin Jingru. After all, she is good-looking. Besides, women from the Qin family can have children, so it would be good to marry her home.

But after the news about what Qin Jingru did in the city came back, some people who were originally interested in Qin Jingru lost their minds.

The original talk of getting married was completely ruined.

Qin's mother was so angry that she stayed in bed for a month.

It can be said that Qin Jingru now not only suffers from anger at home, but also dares not come out even in the village.

However, Qin Jingru didn't feel ashamed. She was working hard for her future. What was there to be ashamed of?

That is to say, rural people have no vision and only know how to give birth after dark and behind closed doors, without any pursuit at all.

"Dad, do you still have money?"

"When I go to my sister's house, I can't just bring some sticks!"

Qin Jingru looked at Father Qin's pocket and almost reached for it.

Father Qin sighed, knowing that what he just said was nonsense.

"This is two dollars. I got it back last time!"

"Remember, there are many spendthrifts in the city, girls should be careful..."

"I know dad, I'm leaving."

Qin Jingru was annoyed by Father Qin's preaching, so she took the money and bag and walked towards Sijiu City.

The journey was long and she had to hurry up.

At the same time, he was also scolding Xu Damao in his heart.

When she finds him this time, she will scold him to death. If he dares to disagree, she will find a meeting with a woman.

The village had already thought of this, and sued him for being promiscuous and abandoning him, and for engaging in male-female relations.

As long as Xu Damao still wants to show his face, he must marry her home.

By then, I will live in the city and never have to come back to eat dirt again.

snort!

When I get married, I will make you jealous to death when I come back.

Thinking of her sister-in-law's disdainful eyes, Qin Jingru became more determined in her thoughts and couldn't help but speed up her pace.

In the evening, Yang Xiaotao drove to get ready to leave. He had to go to work tomorrow. If he usually left in a hurry in the morning, but now the workshop was busy, he had to go early to make arrangements in advance.

At the entrance of the village, Ran Qiuye was holding the little Dragon Boat Festival. The little guy looked at Yang Xiaotao, as if he had finally left and no one would compete with him for his mother.

Yang Xiaotao kissed the little face, and the little guy cried twice shamelessly, and then said goodbye to Ran Qiuye, saying that next time he comes on Saturday, he should treat him well, which made Ran Qiuye feel shy and asked him to slow down on the road and pay attention to safety. .

Outside the courtyard.

Qin Jingru put down the bag and looked at the place she had dreamed of many times, with a flash of fire in her eyes.

"Xu Damao, I, Qin Jingru, am not a vegetarian!"

Biting her teeth lightly, Qin Jingru was about to go in, but she saw a person coming out of the door, and she recognized this person.

"Third uncle!"

Yan Fugui felt a little disgusted when he heard this title. His upright Uncle Yan was not some third uncle.

Seeing the person who spoke, Yan Fugui had an impression that he was definitely not from the alley.

Looking at this outfit again, it looked so rustic, and I immediately thought of it.

Isn't this Qin Huairu's cousin, Qin Jingru, who was detained in a hotel with Xu Damao and then arrested again!

This woman is not smart and a bit stupid.

If he wasn't stupid, would Xu Damao coax him to the hotel with a few words?

Gotta stay far away.

"Um."

Yan Fugui responded, turned around and walked home.

"Third uncle!"

Qin Jingru thought that the old man in the courtyard would be able to talk to her, so she was about to step forward to try to improve relations, but Yan Fugui turned around and snorted.

"What third uncle? Now I am the only uncle in this courtyard!"

"Young girl, I'll call you when you figure it out!"

After saying that, he walked back home and lowered the door curtain with a click.

Qin Jingru swallowed the words in her throat and murmured in her heart.

Third uncle? The only uncle?

What happened?

Just as he was wondering, another sound came from behind him.
