Chapter 34 Reading different books
The Zhou family was very happy to be allocated so much mountainous land and wasteland.
More land means more food.
But in this way, everyone will have to work harder, especially in order to catch up with spring planting, which is life-threatening land reclamation...
"If it's too late, leave the wasteland empty first and wait until spring planting is over," Mrs. Chen couldn't bear the hard work of her man and son and couldn't help but said.
"How can that be done? It's just a year's worth of food being wasted. The wasteland is quite big, it has to be two or three acres, and it can even be used to grow taro and peanuts," Zhou Yougen said, shaking his head.
"But the eldest son is not at home, and the fourth son is not good at farming. The paddy field at home is almost ready, but we still have to plant it," Mrs. Chen said sadly.
Zhou Xiang scratched his head and said: "Mom is right, no one in the family can open up wasteland, and planting paddy fields is also very tiring,"
Zhou Rong came back and knew that they were arguing about the wasteland, so he said: "Let's get the paddy fields ready first, and then we can cultivate the dry land. No matter how much we plant, we won't suffer any loss!"
This is equivalent to additional harvest.
This sentence made everyone suddenly realize.
"Lao Si is right, we can't put the cart before the horse," Zhou Yougen said in agreement.
Seeing that he was convinced, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, fearing that the old man would persist to the end and would not want to waste it...
"Is your rice... sterile?" Xi Yao listened for a long time and vaguely felt that something was wrong, so he subconsciously asked.
"What is seedling cultivation?" Mrs. Chen stared at her and asked.
In fact, not only her, but also the rest of the Zhou family felt something, and they all looked at it, including Zhou Rong.
Zhou Rong felt that his books might be read in vain again.
"Just sprout the rice seeds first, and then plant them when they grow to that length," she said with a gesture.
She really didn't know how rice was grown here. After all, when she was in the capital, her stepmother never let her go out. It was only this time that she escaped, able to breathe and see the mountains and rivers outside so freely...
The Zhou family looked at each other in confusion. Finally, Mrs. Chen hesitated for a while and asked, "Is this also what I read in the book?"
"Ah!" Xi Yao responded vaguely.
As a result, Zhou Rong was targeted by everyone in the Zhou family.
The meaning of this was only felt by Zhou Rong himself.
He seems to be disliked by his family.
Because Xi Yao made Quyuanli before, everyone subconsciously believed what she said this time.
"You have read books for so many years, why don't you know this?" Chen couldn't help but ask.
Zhou Rong took a deep breath, not wanting to feel aggrieved.
The books he reads seem to be in conflict with those read by Xi Yao...
"Mom, the fourth brother is reading books about official career. I have a daughter, and all the books he reads are miscellaneous stories. Naturally, the fourth brother has never read it." Seeing the other person's speechless look, Xi Yao found it funny, but was afraid that the other person would become angry, so he just
I endured it and explained it to others in a serious manner.
The Zhou family suddenly understood, but Chen still couldn't help complaining: "This book on official career is not useful for casual discussions!"
Confused, Zhou Rong gave Xi Yao a cold look and thought she was very weird.
He knew that all the surrounding villages had always farmed in this way, including some wealthy families.
Many wealthy families had contacts with the capital, including his master.
