Following the natural order is of utmost importance.

Winter wheat is planted in the fields, and he shou wu (Polygonum multiflorum) is planted in the ground.

She remembered that wheat could also be made into sugar. Flour was a refined grain, and wheat yield was not high, so maltose was not cheap. However, she could buy high-yield wheat seeds from the mall.

We've already 'discovered' high-yield potatoes, so if we grow high-yield wheat too, it'll be too conspicuous. Well, we'll just plant the village's wheat seeds, mixed with some wheat seeds bought from the mall, and then secretly sow some high-yield wheat seeds in other people's fields under the cover of darkness.

In Shanshui Village, the crop seeds are all saved by the villagers themselves. When harvesting, they select the plump, large, and abundant fruits and the tall and sturdy crops to store as seeds for the following year.

This batch of high-yield wheat seeds was sown and mixed in the wheat fields of each household. When it was time to harvest, the large and numerous ears of wheat were particularly noticeable. Everyone in the village was skilled at farming, so it goes without saying that they would pick them out and keep them for seed.

Every household does this, so it's not unusual for one's own family.

Next year, the wheat yield of the entire Shanshui Village will increase. What special things do the villagers recall about it?

There's nothing special about it; it's just that some of the wheat that grew exceptionally well were mixed in with the normal wheat. If I had to say what's different from before, it's probably that it's different because of the flood and because the soil from the mountain was dug up.

Thinking about this, Shuiqing felt that this winter would be a good opportunity!

The best time to improve wheat varieties.

With potatoes and wheat, she didn't need to think about other high-yield crops—as long as she cultivated these two well and worked diligently, having enough to eat would be no problem at all.

Furthermore, she cannot take out all kinds of high-yield crops, as that would be too risky for her; protecting herself and her family has always been her top priority.

She was ultimately not a very noble person...

In the courtyard, Hu Wenhua asked his nephews and nieces, "I also brought some snacks for your Aunt Jiajia, and I'm going to deliver them to her now. Does anyone want to come with me?"

Secretly, he would prefer to take his three nieces with him. They are quiet and well-behaved, making them easier to take out, and since they are all girls, they seem normal to the villagers.

As for the three rivers and lakes, they were too noisy; he found them annoying and they gave him a headache.

"Me! Me! Me!" The quick-witted Fan He was the first to raise his hand.

The simple-minded Fan Jiang was the second, and at the same time kindly suggested: "Uncle, we know the village well, so why don't we make the trip for you? You don't need to go, just rest at home!"

They had just received a bag of five-colored candy balls from their uncle, so it was only right that they run an errand for him.

Hu Wenhua took a deep breath, feeling that his nephew was talking too much!

Sure enough, my head started hurting again.

As the eldest sister, Yan Qiu was quite thoughtful. Seeing her uncle's headache, she spoke up to help him out: "It's good for Uncle to walk around the village more. Come on, let's go with Uncle."

Hu Wenhua was deeply moved.

No wonder he's always doted on his two nieces since they were little, there's a reason for it!

Finally, Hu Wenhua led Yan Qiuxing back to Wanxia. Surrounded by rivers and lakes, a large group of people walked happily toward the Ding family's house behind the village.

When Hu Wenhua first appeared in the village, his imposing physique and rugged, fierce appearance caused the children to automatically avoid him, not even daring to look him in the eye.

But today, upon seeing him, the children were not afraid at all; instead, they took a few steps closer and followed them at a comfortable distance.

Rivers and lakes look back in bewilderment.

Strangely, no matter how they explained to the village children that their uncle was a good person, they still didn't believe them.

Why did you take the initiative to follow me today?

The final sight Ding Jiajia saw was: the burly and strong Hu Wenhua, followed by a long string of little kids, marching towards her in a grand procession.
