The weather has been good this year, and with the addition of farmyard manure applied to the fields, after the Yunjing family harvested all the grain, although there was no specific weighing, it was estimated that it was at least nearly 50% more than in previous years!
What is the concept of 50%?
It’s not just that the original two hundred kilograms of grain per acre of land has increased to three hundred kilograms, but it also means that even after his family pays the grain tax, the extra grain will no longer have to worry about being hungry in the coming year, and they can eat it freely.
I probably won't be able to finish it all.
Being able to have enough to eat all year round has been the lifelong wish of countless farmers, and this wish has now come true for the Yunjing family.
The grains are returned to the warehouse, there is food at home, and there is no need to worry about going hungry. Everyone in Yunjing's family, except him, sleeps with a smile on their face.
Things that they had never dared to think about actually came true. Yunlin and the others thought they were dreaming. Every time at this time, they went to see the food, and then they felt at ease.
Farmyard manure is really a good thing...
The family is happy, and Yunjing is also happy. As a child, don't you just hope that your family's faces will always be filled with smiles.
However, he was lamenting in his heart that if he could cultivate intensively and improve the technology of pest control and weeding, or even produce high-quality hybrid seeds and add farmyard manure, the family would be extremely happy with the yield.
If that's the case, the family may be more frightened than surprised.
He told himself not to rush, that he could do all these things slowly, and that he would not become a big fat man if he took one bite. He would implement it little by little, so that his family could adapt to it, and their acceptance in the future would be a matter of course.
Grain grows in the ground. Every household in Xiaoxi Village is a farmer, and you can tell the difference between good and bad at a glance. The villagers are envious and are also asking Yunjing's family if they have any farming secrets.
At this time, Yunjing's family did not hide anything, and told the villagers about the wonderful uses of farmyard fertilizer, which made the villagers doubtful. However, the harvest of Yunjing's family was in front of them. If they didn't believe it, they all decided to do the same in the coming year.
Do it.
To be honest, Yunjing was a little surprised that his family shared the wonderful effects of farmyard fertilizer. They should hide this kind of thing as normal operation. After all, not all small farmers think like this.
To be very realistic, who in the world wants to be better than others? This is not because of evil intentions, but because of human nature. Many people express sympathy for the suffering of others, but in fact they don’t know how much they feel superior in their hearts.
this is the truth.
It was Yunlin who made the decision to tell the villagers about the farmyard fertilizer. When he made this decision, Yunshan was anxious and asked why. Why should we tell others the experience we have summarized?
This is what Yunlin said at the time. He said that we were all from the same village and were related to each other. Life was hard, so we could help if we could.
Naturally, Yunshan was not convinced by this reason, and even Yunjing was a little unconvinced.
Then Yunlin smiled bitterly and said, "You think I want to tell others? In addition to the reason of being a fellow in my hometown, it is also because things like farmyard fertilizer cannot be hidden. People who are interested can learn from it if they pay a little attention."
It's better to tell them now when no one knows about it, and it can also be a favor. Hiding it at this time will only offend people. How will you get along with the villagers in the village in the future?
His words completely convinced his family.
Yunjing also had to admire this. Jiang was still very mature. Although Yunlin didn't have much knowledge, he looked at the problem very clearly.
Yunjing knew that things like farmyard fertilizer could not be hidden. Even if his family didn't tell them, the villagers would follow suit within a year or two at most. But Yunlin was a little surprised that Yunlin could tell the villagers so quickly.
All in all, this is a good thing. Not only will it not offend anyone, but it will also end well.
The best proof is that after his family told the villagers about the magical effects of farm fertilizer, even though the villagers had not yet practiced it, when they saw his family members, they all greeted him with a smile, and their smiles were even a bit grateful.
Increased grain production is a matter of ensuring that every household has enough to eat. This is a huge favor. It can be said that it is not too much to support Yunjing's family.
This makes Yunlin go to the village for a walk when he has nothing to do...
But it's so real.
Immediately after the autumn harvest comes tax collection. Because of this year's bumper harvest, Yunjing's family is no longer as sad as in previous years. At this time, the villagers' faces are also smiling more than in previous years. After all, they know about farmyard fertilizer, so there will be more for the coming year.
Looking forward to it.
I have been busy for most of the year, and every household is preparing for the cold winter. There is an endless stream of people cutting firewood every day. Sufficient firewood can ensure that a family can survive the cold winter safely.
The weather has cooled down unconsciously, and when the first snowflake falls, it means that winter has officially arrived.
This year's winter seems to have come earlier than in previous years.
One day, Aunt Wang from the village came to Yunjing's house and brought a complete bear skin. She said that when she went to visit relatives, Yunjing's "father-in-law" asked her to help bring it.
Yunjing's family was not expecting this, and at the same time they felt sincerely cordial to the in-laws they had never met before. They wanted to send something in return to express their gratitude, but looking at the family's desolate situation, there seemed to be nothing they could offer.
Then Yun Lin figured it out and decided to take advantage of the winter to see if he could get some maltose as a return gift. However, it was too late this year. It was difficult to go out due to heavy snow and the mountains were closed, so he had to wait until next year.
The winter this year was really sad. The villagers did not think it was a sign of a good harvest. Instead, they felt that God was deliberately making things difficult for the poor.
I don't know whether it was luck or misfortune, but no one froze to death in the village this winter, but more than a dozen houses were crushed by the thick snow.
Yunjing's family is one of more than ten families whose house was crushed...
It did not completely collapse, but the roof of the outer room where Yun Lin slept was broken by the cold, and the livestock shed next to the main house collapsed. Even so, the family was severely frightened.
"Hey, it's such a winter, I'm freezing to death."
The day after the roof was crushed, Yunshan stood on the ladder, repairing the holes in the roof with straw, and complained, shivering from the cold.
Yunjing, who was warming himself by the fire pit, is now almost three years old. He doesn't need to pay too much attention to his words when he speaks. After all, children of poor people have already become masters. Many children from farm families are already sensible at the age of four or five. He can communicate with adults somewhat normally at the age of three.
It’s barely make sense.
So he turned to look at his father on the ladder and said, "Dad, why don't we build a new house? Otherwise, we won't repair it this year and have it be crushed by heavy snow next year."
"Bah, bah, bah, I didn't know to say something auspicious." Yunshan glared at Yunjing, took a breath and warmed his hands, and then said, "Building a house doesn't cost any money. Where did our family get so much money?"
Yunjing: "..."
"I think it's time to build a new house," Yun Lin, who handed Yun Shan the straw, said suddenly.
Yunshan was stunned, looked at him and said in astonishment: "Dad, why do you say that?"
"You forgot, it's not like our family has no money. We haven't used the money from that time we went to town to sell sugar. We can still afford to build a house, even if it's a brick house, there's even a surplus!" Yun Lin
He stroked his beard and smiled.
Blinking, Yunshan scratched his head and said with a smile: "Don't tell me, I'm used to being poor. I really forgot that our family has a lot of money. After all, the money was hidden by the child's mother at that time, and I didn't even see him again.
"It's over"
"Well, it's settled. We will build a new house during the slack season next year, a brick and tile house." Yun Lin made the final decision and made the decision immediately.
He obviously made his decision after careful consideration, and did not make it solely because of Yun Jing's reminder.
In the past, I didn't know how to spend my money, but now, the house was crushed by the snow, and for this reason, the money was put to good use.
As for farmers, in addition to having enough food and clothing, repairing and building houses is also their lifelong pursuit and dream.
Taking this opportunity, Yunjing simply encouraged him again: "If you still have enough money after building a house, just buy a cow and build the cow pen when you build the house..."
