The Female Officer Became a Farmer After Getting Reborn

It's early spring in a blink of an eye. The spring is bright and clear. There is not even a cloud in the blue sky. The wheat fields have also changed from dark green to emerald green. The breeze blows through the emerald green wheat seedlings and creates emerald green waves.

Now that there were people working in the fields and farms, Li Yu put down his hands and concentrated on taking care of the woolen fabrics. He sorted out the weaving methods from his previous life and taught them to Mr. Liu and Mr. Lin. The female workers also created some weaving methods and techniques of their own. Some other styles of fabrics.

In late March, Li Mei was diagnosed to be three months pregnant. On the day of the diagnosis, Liu Changmin was so happy that he cried and laughed. From then on, Liu Changmin almost stopped confessing Li Mei.

After seeing this, the Zhaodi sisters were secretly worried. They said to Li Yu, who was sitting in a rocking chair, drawing drawings and watching the rain: "Cousin, my father keeps saying that my mother is pregnant with a younger brother every day. I'm afraid that if my mother is pregnant with another brother, she will be pregnant again." She’s a younger sister, I’m afraid something will happen to her then.”

Li Yu looked at the drizzle of light rain and said, "Yes! My uncle and aunt are really thinking about having a son. With things like this, let's not ask for trouble. We can only ask God to be merciful and give your parents a son."

After hearing the news, the two sisters Zhaodi clasped their hands and prayed to heaven: "Please God bless me and give my parents a son."

After the two sisters finished praying, Laidi looked at Li Yu and said firmly: "Cousin, I will not marry anymore. I will be like Brother Jixiang and be the boss for you and my cousin-in-law."

Li Yu looked at her and laughed, "Okay! Then you first learn the abacus from Ji Xiang, oh! You also need to learn to write."

Laidi pouted, "But writing is so difficult! Ah Qing always dislikes me and says that I can't even lift my handwriting up if I lay on the ground."

"You still want to be the boss, but you write like an earthworm. You don't know how to keep accounts, and you know how to make an abacus. You don't know how to do either of them, and you don't have any whims." Zhao Di teased her.

"Hmph! I'm going to see Uncle Zhou and ask him to teach me abacus." After Laidi said that, she ran away with her umbrella. Zhaodi and Li Yu talked and chased after her.

After the sisters left, Li Yu fell back on the recliner, thinking in his mind about how to select seeds and how to use wild rice and domestic rice for hybrid breeding.

Li Yu's head hurt when he thought about it, and then he remembered that his father in his previous life used salt water to select the seeds, and then soaked them in lime water after selecting them.

Soaking seeds in salt water? With so many seeds and salt so expensive, the gain is not worth the loss. Is there any economical way to select seeds? Li Yu fell into deep thought.

Zhou Jia came from next door with a food box and saw Li Yu lying on the rocking chair. He stared blankly at the canna in the corner with his brows furrowed and motionless. He was startled and walked quickly to Li Yu's side, asking repeatedly: " Yu'er, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Li Yu looked up at Zhou Jia's worried look, smiled and pulled him to sit on the stool, "I'm fine, I was lost in thought just now."

"Oh! I was shocked," Zhou Jia opened the food box and handed it to Li Yu, "Try the wontons cooked by Aunt He."

"It smells so good!" Li Yu opened the food box and the smell hit his nostrils.

Zhou Jia went to the kitchen and took out two bowls, rolled the wontons into the bowls and handed them to Li Yu, "Yu'er, tell me what you're worried about?"

Li Yu took the bowl and said, "I'll tell you after I eat it so as not to affect my appetite."

"Okay." Zhou Jia responded with a smile and sat down next to Li Yu. The two of them held bowls and ate wontons while watching the drizzle.

"The wontons made by Aunt He are delicious." Li Yu praised.

Zhou Jia nodded, took the bowl and sent it back to the kitchen. When he came back, he looked at Li Yu seriously, "Tell me! Let me hear what problem is making you worried?"

Li Yu explained to Zhou Jia the method of selecting rice seeds by soaking in salt water, and watched him spread his hands, "Right! Salt is so expensive, and we have so many seeds. For the time being, let's use winnowing to select rice seeds! I'll go there later. Ask Carpenter Chen to make a few wind grain machines."

Zhou Jia looked at Li Yu and said softly: "I have seen those long-term workers soaking seeds before. They just soaked them in water for a while and then spread them. Your method is already very good. I hope it will be available in the shop later." We will save the salt coupons and give them to you for soaking your seeds."

"Forget it! That salt is enough to buy rice," Li Yu smiled and picked up the drawing. "I have already drawn the drawing of the wind grain machine. Let's go find Carpenter Chen to make the wind grain machine."

Zhou Jia took the drawing and looked at it, "The Fugu machine you drew is different from the one at home in the East Village. Yours should look better."

Li Yu looked at Zhou Jia in surprise, "Did your family have a wind valley machine when we were in the East Village? Why haven't I seen anyone use it in the West Village?"

Zhou Jia opened his umbrella and hugged Li Yu and walked out, "I call it a fan truck. There are drawings on the Tiangong Kaiwu. Besides, these things are not cheap. How can those farmers and tenants spare the money to make them?"

Li Yu nodded in agreement, "Yeah! You say that's true, then let's make a few more."

The two of them walked outside and looked at the vast expanse of green under the drizzle, and at the green mountains and forests in the distance shrouded in clouds and mist. Li Yu took a deep breath, "Well! The air in the rain has a sweet smell. "

Zhou Jia looked at Li Yu's charming look when she raised her head and was intoxicated. Seeing that no one was covering Li Yu with an umbrella, he secretly kissed her on the cheek and said, "Yu'er, you are so beautiful!"

Li Yu blushed and pinched Zhou Jia, "Don't be ashamed, it would be embarrassing if someone saw you!"

Zhou Jia held up the umbrella in a flattering manner, "Yu'er, I was wrong, but I also noticed that there was no one."

Li Yu pursed his lips and smiled, "Seeing that you have a good attitude in admitting your mistakes, I will forgive you this time."

The two arrived at Carpenter Chen's house, and Zhou Jia gave the drawings to Carpenter Chen. After reading it, Carpenter Chen smiled and said, "When I first started working, I and my master made two sets for Huang Yuan's family. They looked a little different from Mr. Zhou's. "

"Uncle Chen, can you make it?" Li Yu looked at Carpenter Chen and asked.

"If we can do it, I'll make one for you before the end of the month, and the others before harvesting the wheat."

"Okay, let's settle the bill together when we're done." The two of them came out of Carpenter Chen's house and went back to work separately.

In mid-March, Li Yu asked the long-term worker to fertilize the wheat once. In early April, the wheat began to enter the jointing stage. Li Yu and the long-term worker began to level the thirty acres of rice fields, open the seedling beds, and spread a ditch. After layering the retting manure, he raked it carefully to mix the soil and fertilizer evenly. It was not until late April that the rice fields were sorted out and water was put in, and a separate area was opened to sow the wild rice.

In late April, the wheat began to ear, and Li Yu's village was also built. When you walk into a two-door house, you will find a large drying yard, a row of warehouses, and a row of houses for long-term workers. You can enter through the hanging flower door. In the inner courtyard, there are five main rooms in a row, three east and west wing rooms, and a cellar dug under the kitchen room.

At the beginning of May, Li Yu took Zhao Erya and several women to expose the rice seeds to the sun for several days, used a wind machine to blow out part of the grain, and then soaked it in water and washed it to fish out part of the grain. Mrs. Liu looked at the grain. Sighing at Mrs. Lin, "Sister-in-law Lin, look at the girl, she's still in the wind. There's still so much grain after soaking. No wonder our seedlings are not good."

Mrs. Lin looked at the grains in the basket, "We only thought that the grain seeds were selected in advance. Who knew there were such grains? The girl cultivates the land much more carefully than we do."

"If you don't do it carefully, you won't have a good harvest," Li Yu looked at the two of them with a smile, "You put the lime into a gauze bag and I'll mix it with water."

Li Yu weighed the lime that Liu packed and mixed it with water at a ratio of one to ten. After the lime dissolved, he filtered it and poured the seeds into a bucket to start soaking them.
