With great excitement, he came to Xie Zhengchuan's house. Just as he was about to knock on the door, he saw that it was locked. He thought that he should be at Old Xie's house, so he turned around and knocked on the door.

"Wife Zhengchuan, is Wife Zhengchuan at home?" Waishan rubbed his hands together, his face flushed with excitement.

He held a meeting with the team members for a whole day and did not even have time to eat lunch. Everyone argued endlessly and finally decided by voting. The majority of people were in favor of the election.

The main reason they were able to do this was that this was their old trade. All they had to do was mark out a piece of land, plant the seedlings, and then set up a few big pots.

That's brown sugar! As long as they plant sugarcane, they can make the scarce brown sugar. Now every family wants to make more money. To accomplish this, they need strength. If the country people lack this strength, they also lack money.

This year's harvest has given every household some meat, but farming is a matter of fate, and if the weather is not good, everyone may have to flee.

Who doesn't want to save money to buy some meat for the children and wife at home? Everyone wants to live a good life after working hard, so most people support the idea of making sugar. A few are afraid that it can't be done, but the can of brown sugar brought from the outside mountain is too attractive, not to mention there is a ready-made technician.

Oh! They have been willing to give Su Li the position of technician, to guide them to learn the skills, and the salary and benefits are to be determined first. Now the team has no money, and they dare not say what promises they can make.

Xie Zhengyang heard someone knocking on the door. He opened the door and saw that it was Waishan. "Village Chief, why are you here?"

"I'm here to look for Zhengchuan's wife. I just saw that the door of her house was locked, so I wondered if she was here?"

Xie Zhengyang said: "No, Village Chief, my brother's wife went to her mother's house and hasn't come back yet!"

"What? Then when can she come? I have something to talk to her about." He asked anxiously. He wished he could plant the sugarcane seedlings today so that they would be ripe tomorrow and he could bring his people to make sugar.

Xie Zhengyang glanced at the direction where the sun was setting and said, "It's almost time. Judging from the time, it will probably be here soon."

Waishan couldn't wait any longer, he wanted to see where to mark out the land, "Then I'll go first, Zhengyang, wait for Zhengchuan's wife to come and help me tell her that what she said is done, I'll come to find her tomorrow."

Having said this, he left in a hurry.

"Oh! Damn, village chief." Xie Zhengyang raised his hand and scratched the back of his head. Why did he say it so mysteriously, like a secret code for a meeting?

Su Li rode her bicycle back home when the sun was about to set. Su Li brought a bag of dried vegetables, a pound of bacon, and thirty vegetable dumplings to Old Xie's house.

As soon as he entered the door, Xie Zhengyang told Su Li stealthily that the village chief came to see him and said that the matter was settled.

She knew that the village chief was talking about brown sugar, but the way Xie Zhengyang spoke sounded like Ling Lingqi.

Su Li: “…”

He handed the thing in his hand to Xie Zhengyang, "Second brother, this is what my mother asked me to bring home. You can ask her to cook it. I also have two kilograms of brown sugar and red dates at home. I will ask Tiedan to bring them over later. You can give a few to my second sister-in-law every day."

"Hey! What's the meaning of this, sister-in-law, you always give me things, I don't know how to thank you, hehe..."

"It's okay, second brother. When my second sister-in-law gives birth, I'll get her two pig's trotters and stew them with soybean and pig's trotter soup to increase her milk production."

Xie Zhengyang was so moved that his eyes were red. When his wife was giving birth, she couldn't buy meat during the confinement period, so she bought a pound of brown sugar on the black market with great difficulty. The old hen at home could only lay an egg every two days, so it was very difficult for him to eat an egg with brown sugar.

At this moment, Xie Zhengyang felt that the third son’s wife was glowing all over. If Su Li knew what he was thinking, she would tell him that it was the light of righteousness.

Su Liyu has been very busy these days. She follows Xie Waishan to see the experimental fields every day. She is busy all day without a day of rest. Not only Xie Zhengchuan but even the children look at her with resentful eyes.

She could only cook more food at night to comfort them. Xie Zhengchuan also understood her hard work. He helped to get the notes for the tiles needed for the Su family to build the house, and also contacted a tractor to help deliver them. Therefore, he did not bother her at night these few days and let her have a good rest.

A total of twenty acres of land were designated for growing sugarcane. This land was a wasteland at the foot of the mountain. Su Li looked at it and decided not to occupy the brigade's planting land, mainly because he was afraid that everyone in the village would know.

In addition to a few trustworthy people in the team found by Waishan, even the secretary's son Daniu came. Su Li recommended Xie Zhenghe, Xie Zhengyang and Tian Laoshi. Waishan didn't say anything, but still repeatedly told the participants to keep it confidential.

In just two or three days, twenty acres of sugarcane seedlings were planted.

Su Li specially found a day to go to the county town and asked someone to help drive a bullock cart to bring ten bags of fertilizer, which was the black soil in her space and 5 barrels of spiritual spring water. She told the people who were planting that it was a nutrient for sugarcane.

The next thing is a matter of time, but Su Li also told Waishan that she would read more books and tell Xie Zhenghe any methods to increase production. After all, Xie Zhenghe's academic performance was really good in the past. Su Li felt that she could ask Xie Zhenghe for help. If this business became large-scale in the future and Xie Zhenghe learned this skill, she would feel more at ease about her family when she did business in the future.

Waishan felt that this sugarcane field was planted scientifically. Seeing the seedlings growing well, Waishan was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling. He told Su Li and Xie Zhenghe that their work points were calculated based on ten work points.

Things on the sugarcane field were going smoothly.

The mission pigs from all the villages in the county were also brought here. The Xie family’s pigpen finally welcomed six little masters, and the children were very happy.

They had never seen piglets so closely before. The pigs in the team were very precious, and usually the children would give the grass they cut for the pigs to the adults who were responsible for feeding them.

Apart from the children, the happiest person was Xie Zhengyang. Su Li felt that Xie Zhengyang's eyes were shining when he looked at the piglets, and the look in his eyes was as if they were two plates of braised pork.

Su Li put two bags of feed and some wheat bran bean cakes in the woodshed next to the pigpen.

"Don't worry, sister-in-law. I will raise the piglets for you until they are plump and white. I remember all the feeding methods you mentioned, and I will clean the pigsty every day."

"Oh, second brother, I also harvested 200 kilograms of sweet potatoes. You can chop some sweet potatoes and put them in when you cook pig food every time."

"Aunt San, I...I will also help raise the piglets." Xie Lai Fu also said. He was a little afraid to look people in the eye now, for fear that they would scold him as a motherless child. When there were children in the village who talked about him, he no longer fought with them as fiercely as before, because the other person's mother would come looking for him.

He couldn't cause trouble for his father, but Xiangzhi would curse people viciously. Now some children said that Xiangzhi was a shrew and no one would marry her when she grew up.

She was very fierce in front of others, and Xie Laifu had never seen his sister be so fierce, but he secretly saw Xiangzhi crying with her head covered with a quilt, and he thought his sister must be missing her mother.

"My child, now that Third Aunt knows about this, Lai Fu will have to work hard." Su Li rubbed his little head.

Xie Laifu's ears turned red.
