Chapter 240 Seeds Under the Corner

The first time she scolded her daughter-in-law so mercilessly, the old lady felt uncomfortable. She was just now frightened by the dense locusts. However, as a head of the family, she must be strong in front of the younger generation, not to show her timidity, and not to let people see her fragility and fear, and hold on with a strong aura.

At this moment, who will poke it, it will be accurate.

Shortly after Jian Ning left, the house was cleaned up and the old lady sat on the threshold, hugging her youngest grandson Baoer and gently shook her to sleep.

The mouth comforted the twins surrounding her knees.

The grandparents and grandchildren were talking when they suddenly heard a buzzing sound again. The old lady turned pale and quickly called a few small ones into the door, closed them from outside, and called the three Deli brothers who were about to go out to catch insects: "Get me a basket."

"Old everyone, the third family... the dog days locusts are coming again. You all come out for me, weave cloth, and cover the dog things that harm the food for me." The old lady's eyes were red and she said viciously.

Never end, come again!

Miscellaneous!

This batch of locusts is much less than that of General, and it should be the last batch. All the good things were eaten up by the previous batch. This batch is not so powerful and flew slowly.

As soon as the old lady shouted, several wives came out, and Li Miaoyin also came out to help weave cloth. When the locusts came, the two of them would work together in groups, and the locusts were caught.

After the last batch of locusts passed, Li Miaoyin's hands were shaking, but she still tried to pick up the locusts wrapped in the weaving cloth. The old lady glanced at her: "You go and see Xiaobao."

"I want to pick it up." Li Miaoyin said unexpectedly to the old lady.

"Okay, I know you are afraid of insects. Our family is not as good as asking you to pick up insects." The old lady bent down and picked up a handful of insects, brushed her legs with the back of her hand: "Go, I'm angry just now, and my words are really ugly."

"Hey." Li Miaoyin pursed her lips and smiled: "I'm not angry with you," I just felt a little aggrieved.

The newly-emerged conflict is considered a complete chapter.

It is inevitable that there will be small conflicts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Once you are angry, you give in and I will take a step back and the knot will be opened.

In the afternoon, Jian Ning drove the donkey cart to the town alone. It was still early when she arrived. She didn't enter the town. The donkey cart was tied by the river and took a nap in the car. In the second half of the night, she went to the commune first, and then found a hidden place to smuggle the buckwheat seeds into the car and return to the village.

The buckwheat planting areas are mainly based on the Loess Plateau, mostly distributed in the northwest or northeastern regions. There are few villages in the southwest growing buckwheat. In the past, Liuzi specially asked the buckwheat seeds in the village to go to the north in advance to buy them back. Now they are in a hurry to get seeds, which will definitely not be possible in a short period of time.

The next day, Wang Anqing stepped out of the door on Chenlu, went to the commune to report on his work, and conveyed what Jian Ning said by the way.

"Hey, isn't that the captain of Shuima Village?"

"Captain Wang, you're here just right, hurry up, come and see, are these buckwheat seeds?"

Before Wang Anqing could step on the door of the commune, he was pulled to a corner of the yard by several commune cadres. One of them pointed to the sacks piled up into a hill under the corner of the wall and said anxiously: "Your village has experience in growing buckwheat. Please help us see if it is buckwheat seeds."

Each village needs to report to the commune after the spring plowing and sowing of spring in each village. There must be a detailed description of which types of grains are planted in the field and how many acres of them are planted. Wang Anqing previously reported that their village had planted thousands of acres of buckwheat, and was severely criticized by commune cadres.

Because buckwheat has the lowest yield among all grains, and G family is short of grain. Of course, the above hopes that more high-yield grain can be produced in the fields. Speaking of high-yield grain, sweet potatoes are the first, but just growing sweet potatoes is not enough. G family wants to save reserved grain, and the shelf life is a problem that needs to be considered. Sweet potatoes have a short shelf life, so the above advocates that they vigorously grow corn and sorghum.

As a result, Shuimo Village did not take the ordinary road and planted hundreds of acres of corn, so sorghum was not planted at all, and half of the land was used to plant buckwheat, which was reasonable to be criticized.

However, the commune cadres never expected that the unappreciated path that Shuimo Village took became the only village in the county and even the province that had been stored in hundreds of thousands of kilograms of grain.

Wang Anqing was a little confused. He grabbed a cluster of seeds from the open sack, spread his hands and looked at it: "It's buckwheat seeds, you..."

He wanted to speak but stopped. Yesterday, Jian Ning brought back a truck of buckwheat seeds, which surprised him. No one planted buckwheat within a radius of hundreds of miles. Where did the seeds come from? Jian Ning's answer was that she was careful of accidents and asked Wei Er to go to the north to purchase a batch of seeds in advance.

But where did the commune come from?

The amount is still so large, and it is probably worth tens of thousands of kilograms of seeds, which is basically enough for more than a dozen surrounding villages to sow the last crop, and harvest a batch of grain when the cold winter comes.

There is a big difference between tens of thousands of kilograms of seeds and tens of thousands of kilograms of grain.

The time of occurrence was also very good, just the second day of the locust plague.

"That's great!" The man almost jumped up happily, took a long breath, slapped his forehead, and said, "Oh, you don't know. We had a meeting until midnight last night and didn't fall asleep when we got back. We were so worried that we couldn't cry. Now, we finally saved it."

A little spark lit up in the darkness.

"Hurry, call people to go to the countryside and ask each village to get grain." The man turned around and ordered: "Today I will go to the countryside and urge each village to sow seeds. It is best to sow the seeds today." As soon as the locust plague came, the first and second leaders went to the county overnight to seek assistance, and the burden fell on his three leaders, and he must do his best.

"Director Jiang, did your grains be sent from the top?" Wang Anqing was really curious. The thing he regretted the most was that he did not leave a few acres of seeds on his own after being plagued by the locust.

"A kind-hearted person, I don't know who it is. The seeds are piled up in the corner as soon as I go to work." Director Jiang suddenly thought of something and asked repeatedly: "Is there any planting in your village? Are there so many? If we don't have enough divisions here, can your village move a little out? Then I will remember the public grain for you, ten times, ten times, and ten times."

A kind person? When a pound of grain is stolen, how good is it to be able to contribute tens of thousands of kilograms of grain for free without leaving a name? A man appeared in Wang Anqing's mind. After leaving a moment of his spirit, he shook his head and nodded: "I have kept the seeds, but it is only enough for our village to plant. Before I come, the whole village has already started to move."

"Okay, at least your village doesn't need to divide seeds, you can save a little bit." Director Jiang couldn't say whether he was disappointed or glad: "You go back and supervise the members to sow seeds. You can't delay it. You also saw that I have a lot of things to be busy with. We have to go to the countryside today. If you don't have any urgent matters about going to the house and catching fire, we will report it in a few days."
