After Zhao Shucheng decided on the matter of planting himself, he began to look for suitable seeds everywhere, and made some hoes and shovels by himself. The future was to cultivate the land. Others were curious about why Zhao Shucheng did this, so they could only explain to the outside world that he was preparing to teach his children agriculture classes and teach him the secrets of plant growth.
The street also learned about this news, but just pretended that Zhao Shucheng had nothing to do and had fun, so he didn't care.
Zhao Shucheng first purchased a lot of sweet potatoes and potatoes at two o'clock, which can be used as seeds.
It is already summer and it is almost autumn. Sweet potatoes and potatoes can be planted for only one season. When Zhao Shucheng saw that the potatoes he bought had sprouted, he quickly cut the sprouting place and simply dipped them in a bit of wood ash to disinfect the potatoes.
Except for the places where I often go, all the other places in the yard were turned over, and I simply ploughed them. By the way, I divided the plots and made ridges and ditches. The planting officially began.
Hou Kui was very interested in this, followed Zhao Shucheng's butt and learned how to plant it.
Seeing this, Zhao Shucheng said, "Xiao Kui, you put potatoes in the back and dad dig a hole in the front, how about it?"
"That's great, I can do it."
Zhao Shucheng was very satisfied with this. His son Xiaohu was lying on the stroller, watching his father and brother working.
Although Chen Xueru was half-believing and half-doubted about Zhao Shucheng's analysis, she also knew that Zhao Shucheng had been taking care of several children at home during this period. She only thought that Zhao Shucheng was trying to find something for herself, so she turned a blind eye to farmland affairs.
Zhao Shucheng was also worried about whether this would happen. After all, he encountered continuous droughts and although he was in the yard, if there was no water, he would have no harvest at that time.
Fortunately, he finally thought of a solution, which was to buy a few large tanks directly. There were many places in the yard, so he put the large tanks in the corner of the wall. Then he would not waste any rainfall, and collect them all as irrigation water.
Chen Xueru didn't have time to get angry about this. Now she is concerned about the children in her belly, but also about the business of the silk shop.
Zhao Shucheng had originally had a good idea, but he ignored one thing, that is, the rain water was not clean. As time passed, many small insects grew in the rain water in the big tank, which made people's scalp numb.
Hou Kui also saw the little bug and told Chen Xueru directly about this.
Chen Xueru thought it wasn't much at first, so she didn't care, but when she opened the big tank and took a look, she got angry.
"Zhao Shucheng! Look at what you did. Are you disgusting with so many insects? I don't think you have to farm anymore. Just raise insects. Get cleaned up for me quickly. If I see it in the evening, I will smash the big vat directly."
Zhao Shucheng looked at Hou Kui who was covering his mouth and said, "Don't cover it, you don't blame me. I dare not see how I solved this matter."
Zhao Shucheng went out in the afternoon. When he came back, he carried the bucket in his hand. Hou Kui took a look and found some small fish inside. They were all jumping around.
"Dad, why are you buying fish? To apologize to my mom? This fish is too small and not suitable."
"You don't understand now, look."
Zhao Shucheng said as he put one or several small fish in each large tank. The small fish was a little uncomfortable, but when he saw the small insect, he rushed up excitedly and started eating.
After seeing this, Hou Kui found it very interesting and lay on the big tank to observe.
Zhao Shucheng said: "Today I will teach you another lesson, this is called survival of the fittest. The rain produces insects, which is not static. This fish eats insects and people eat fish, which is the biological chain. The insects eat nothing that cannot be seen, but this requires some microscope to see. You can try to observe after you go to school."
After Chen Xueru returned home, she saw fish in the water tank, so she no longer mentioned breaking the big tank, but she still asked Zhao Shucheng to solve the problem as soon as possible.
Zhao Shucheng also knew that things needed to be solved, so he had already thought about it. These large tanks can not only receive rainwater, but also plant lotus. Of course, it must be water lotus for viewing. This can also be regarded as providing fish with other ingredients.
The breeding in Zhaoshucheng's small yard is on track. Except for the lack of traces of fungus, there are signs of potatoes and sweet potatoes. However, there should not be much harvest of sweet potatoes this year. After all, it is too late and it will not grow in a few months. However, the sweet potato seedlings are still good as vegetables, at least they taste good after being burned.
Fan Jinyou's marriage has always been a headache for him. Many people have introduced him to his partner over the years, but he has always looked down on him. Someone from the street introduced him to him. This time the girl is pretty good, and the family is full of workers and she looks good.
He was thinking about a date tomorrow when he saw someone in the cafeteria who was in the lineup. He couldn't stand such a thing, so he just told him through it. Unfortunately, he didn't know that the young man he was talking about could actually be the younger brother of his blind date.
The next day, after Fan Jinyou went on a blind date, the two of them had a good chat. When they were preparing for their day off, they went on a date together.
I met Mr. Niu on the street and specifically thanked him for telling him such a good marriage. Unfortunately, he was so happy that when the girl heard his younger brother's words, she immediately had a bad impression of Fan Jinyou and asked to break up a few times.
Almost everyone in this street knows Fan Jinyou's situation. If they are satisfied, Fan Jinyou will not like him. Fan Jinyou will not like him. If he is more likely to be more likely to be less, he will be a little worried for a while.
Chen Xueru suddenly learned the news and suddenly thought that the cousin of the grain store director had not yet started a family. She said to Fan Jinyou with a tentative attitude:
"Fan Jinyou, I'll tell you about the marriage, I guarantee that I can be satisfied."
"Who?"
"It's the cousin of the wife of the grain store director."
After hearing this, Fan Jinyou said in a daze: "Chen Xueru, are you so sad about me? You can't even look down on those two hundred kilograms. Do you think I can look down on them?"
Chen Xueru smiled and said, "Don't say that. Please let me analyze it for you. The director of the grain store is also an official. If you have a good relationship with him, at least you need food, which is faster than others, right? Besides, the girl has lost weight now, and now she is less than 150 kilograms, but she is a little plump and not fat at all."
"Besides, their jobs are not bad, and they are very helpful to you. You won't be a public manager for the rest of your life, right? Besides, Director Ma and others have a wide range of interpersonal relationships and are very helpful to your future work."
"Besides, what's wrong with being fat? That girl's big ass is guaranteed to have a son. You can't stay married all the time, right? You've seen the girls nearby. Is there anyone more suitable than her?"
Fan Jinyou was stunned. He thought about it and found that this girl was really suitable for him. Even if she was to go further, choosing her was the best choice.
Now he became energetic and went back directly to Director Ma's house with a gift. He saw two hundred kilograms. The two hundred kilograms now looked a little thinner than before. Fan Jinyou looked at them and felt that he was quite satisfied, so he directly proposed the matter of dealing with him.
Although 200 Jin Jin doesn't have to worry about marrying, she doesn't look down on ordinary people. She also knows Fan Jin You a little. She thinks Fan Jin You have a good appearance, but she didn't agree on the spot. Instead, she is going to ask her brother-in-law about her opinion.
Director Ma looked down on Fan Jinyou very much. When there was a problem with the grain turnover in the tavern, Fan Jinyou didn't have a good attitude towards him. So although he was not happy this time, he saw that his cousin was very satisfied, so he couldn't say anything else.
After Fan Jinyou got married to 200 Jin for a while, the others learned about this. They were all guessing that so many people in Fan Jin didn't choose, why did they choose 200 Jin? Is it because they like a rich woman?
After Xu Huizhen and Chen Xueru learned the news, Chen Xueru laughed for a while and almost got angry. She didn't expect that she would say casually that Fan Jinyou actually married 200 jin.
The relationship between the tavern is even more complicated. Fan Jinyou once liked Xu Huizhen, and Cai Quanwu almost got married to Qie Hundred Jin. It would be fine if the two families didn't meet, but if they met, they would definitely feel uncomfortable.
Autumn of 1961.
This year, the north was drought severely, and many places had reduced their grain production and even lost their harvest. There was no food at all, and there were still many people who fled the famine.
In order to avoid starvation, the canteen of the tavern directly started disaster relief. This incident was very popular in the streets, and Chen Xueru was also a little moved.
Fortunately, she still has the brain and knows that her family is in the silk business and does not have the ability to get so much food.
Zhao Shucheng's planting over the years has not been in vain. At least in the past few years, his family can eat and drink enough. Although they eat sweet potatoes and potatoes most of the time, at least everyone can eat and have no hunger and swelling.
Chen Xueru even gave birth to a fat boy for Zhao Shucheng, and now the family has become a situation of two big and four young people. The eldest son Hou Kui, the second son Zhao Suhu, the third son Zhao Sutian, and the fourth son Zhao Suyi. In other words, Hou Kui could not change his name, otherwise he would be called Ruhu and extra wings.
Xu Hui is really pregnant. Since giving birth to a girl for Cai Quanwu, she has been looking forward to having a son, especially when she saw Chen Xueru giving birth to four sons, she was even more jealous.
Unfortunately, their family didn't have enough food, and Xu Huizhi kept asking for relief, and directly forced Cai Quanwu to find ways to get money.
Xu Huizhi and the others did not have the idea of ​​making enough food and clothing on their own. They felt that since Cai Quanwu helped He Yongqiang treat him that time, she had to rely on Cai Quanwu. Cai Quanwu did not dare to refuse, for fear that Xu Huizhen would know about their driving, so she could only look for food everywhere.
This time, he found Zhao Shucheng's head. He didn't dare to say anything else, but said that Xu Hui's cousin's family was almost starving to death and needed some food.
Zhao Shucheng didn't care who he gave him. Anyway, this wasteland was about to pass, and the dried sweet potato he had saved was useless. He gave him dozens of kilograms directly, which was considered to be a job handing over to him.
Cai Quanwu didn't have time to drive with Xu Huizhi this time. He was afraid of wearing it into Xu Huizhen's ears, and it was because he was squandering his food and had no strength to do anything for a long time.
