Chapter 14 Waiting for the next year

PreviousBack to directoryNext
Poor people can't even light a light at night, let alone engage in entertainment activities. The only place to go in the dead of night is to go to bed.

When he first came to this world, Yunjing still missed the mobile phone network in his previous life. However, as more than a year passed, not to mention getting used to this kind of day when he went to bed at dark and got up at dawn, he missed it even more.

Already...

How fun is it to sleep with a mobile phone?

It's a pity, don't even think about that thing.

During the night, Yun Jing fell asleep in a daze when he was awakened by a strange sound. He was speechless and continued to sleep pretending to be asleep without opening his eyes.

With so much work every day, where does my father get so much energy?

Gee, I don’t know when I will have a younger brother or younger sister.

Fortunately, the strange movements subsided not long after, and after some rustling, the night became quiet again.

As for what the strange movement was, Yunjing was still a baby, so he didn't understand and didn't dare to ask...

There is no mobile phone network to stay up late, and with enough sleep, Yunjing wakes up at dawn the next day with a hundred times more energy.

Obviously, my parents and grandpa were very concerned about the use of farmyard fertilizer last night, and they got busy early in the morning.

Because there are no livestock such as pigs, cows or sheep at home, all that can be used is chicken and duck excrement. Fortunately, chicken and duck excrement has no practical use in the past, and a lot of it has accumulated in the livestock shed over the years.

So, when the sky was just turning white, Yunlin and Yunshan started shoveling shit in the livestock shed, scaring the chickens and ducks in the shed.

They put the chicken and duck excrement into baskets, covered it with something, and then sneakily picked it into the fields before it was completely bright.

In Yun Lin's words, it's just an attempt now and there's no need to make any publicity. It's not that I'm afraid it won't be successful as expected, but I'm afraid that it will make a joke with these feces.

"Xiaojing, do you think it can really increase food production?"

Looking at the backs of her husband and father-in-law who were gradually leaving with chicken and duck droppings in the morning light, Jiang Susu held Yunjing's hand and asked softly.

Although she was asking Yun Jing, it seemed more like she was talking to herself.

She is just an ordinary woman with little knowledge. She cannot make the decision on big things like the future of her family, but it is what she yearns for that the family can live a better life.

This family is everything to her, she doesn't think too much about other things, and she doesn't understand what changes her husband and father-in-law's actions at this time will bring about in the future.

Looking at the vigorously growing vegetable seedlings in the vegetable garden not far away, Yunjing replied in a childish voice: "Yes."

"Xiao Jing said it can be done, then it can be done," Jiang Susu said with a smile as she touched his head.

No matter what, life still has to go on. Yunlin and Yunshan are busy with their preliminary experiments, and Jiang Susu also has her own work to do.

There is no such thing as breakfast in a poor farmer's family, so she fed Yunjing, then carried him on her back, carrying a basket, a hoe and a sickle, and went to work in the fields.

Farm work is always endless.

Following her mother to work in the fields, Yunjing looked back at the thriving vegetable seedlings in her vegetable garden under the morning light, with a sincere smile on her face.

Those vegetable seedlings grow silently. They may be insignificant, but they represent the beginning of endless hope!

Because he was still too young, Yunjing, who came to the fields with his mother, couldn't do any work and couldn't help. He could only look at the landscape, the plants showing new buds, the misty clouds, and the slow breeze.

The rising sun...

Perhaps the plan to improve family living conditions has taken the first step successfully. His heart is full of hope for the future, and he is happy both physically and mentally. Yunjing seems to feel that the world he sees is different from before.

Breeze, red sun, clouds, mountains and rivers, new buds, birds chirping, insects chirping...

Everything is so natural and harmonious.

Spiritually happy, the world in his eyes also becomes beautiful.

Away from the hustle and bustle, away from intrigues, he was unconsciously intoxicated between heaven and earth, forgetting his troubles and sorrows, his mind empty, his mind calm, in line with nature, he seemed drunk but not drunk, seemed awake but not awake, drifting

As if in the clouds, the spirit seems to be jumping for joy...

"Xiao Jing, go home"

I don’t know how long it took, but Yun Jing’s call brought Yun Jing back to reality.

Although I really like the state of letting go of everything, life is real. Yunjing is not annoyed when his mother interrupts him. He responds cheerfully and goes home with his mother.

Along the way, my mother hummed an unknown song, which echoed in the mountains, adding a touch of joy to the quiet and tiring life.

That night, Yun Lin and Yun Shan came back and chatted. They said that they had spread chicken and duck feces on a paddy field at their home and mixed it with the muddy water. No one would notice it. At most, they would smell it if they got close.

Not a very strong smell.

They also said that the seeds will be planted in a few days. I really want time to fly by faster and see the test results...

Although life is hard, it is full of hope and expectation.

Time passes day by day, and the cloud scenery grows day by day.

Jiang Susu took him to see the scene of sowing at home. How should I put it, it was just spreading the seeds in the field. There was no process of raising seedlings and transplanting, and there was no intensive cultivation. It was clear that the seeds were just allowed to grow wildly.

It’s amazing that such a high yield can be achieved.

Seeing such a scene, Yunjing knew that he still had a long way to go to completely change his family's living conditions, but there was no point in rushing. He could only make changes slowly and little by little.

Fortunately, he is still young and has plenty of time.

Because of this calm and neither arrogant nor impetuous mentality, and because he couldn't do anything at a young age, when he was bored, he would empty his mind and look at the world and everything, and taste the beauty that he had never discovered before.

A grass, a flower, a cloud...

As long as you stop and observe carefully and savor them, they can always bring you a different kind of beauty and spiritual pleasure.

Perhaps it was with this mentality that as he grew up day by day, he felt that his spirit was quietly becoming fuller, more cheerful and more agile...

We have gone through the spring when all things are flourishing, jumped over the sweltering summer, and ushered in the fruitful autumn in a blink of an eye.

When harvesting the rice that had been fertilized with farmyard manure, Yunjing's family remained silent until the harvest was completed and they returned home, revealing their excitement at night.

Not surprisingly, the experimental field had a bumper harvest, a real bumper harvest. The harvested rice yield increased by about one-third compared to previous years, and the original harvest of two hundred kilograms reached more than three hundred kilograms!

This kind of increase in output was unimaginable in the past. It increased the output by a full third. If all the paddy fields in the family have such a harvest, it means that even if the taxes are paid, there will be no need to go hungry next year!

After the excitement, endless annoyance and regret followed. My intestines almost turned green with regret. I regretted why I didn’t fertilize all the paddy fields in the first place? How much food would have been lost...

However, there is no use regretting it, I can only wait until next year.

The past is over, and with the hope of fertilizing all the paddy fields to increase production in the coming year, the Yunjing family is no longer as lifeless as in previous years even when it comes to paying heavy taxes.

Watching all this, Yun Jing thought to himself: What the hell is this? It's just farmyard manure. If there were hybrid seeds, deep-rooting with plows, plus the seedling raising process, and insecticides and pesticides, I'm afraid that

Wait until the production volume is enough to scare you...

After the autumn harvest, there is a tough winter.

Yunjing slowly grew up while savoring the natural beauty of heaven and earth. In the blink of an eye, another year passed...
