Chapter 196 Agree
Seeing that Jinhua was still pestering him, Mrs. Du rolled her eyes at her:
"Okay, who is as shameless as you?"
Having said that, he put down the clothes in his hands and left the room.
Jinhua chased for a few steps, but didn't dare to get too close. She felt nervous and anxious.
In the evening, Mrs. Du took Ye Daquan to the old couple's room to discuss.
Mrs. Du originally wanted to name her Ye Caiping, but then she changed her mind and realized that her daughter was her own. It would be fine if she lived a good life in the future, but if not, she was afraid that she would be associated with other people and make her sister-in-law embarrassed.
So I didn't shout.
In the room, Old Man Ye was smoking a water pipe: "I have found out everything. You are Jinhua's parents. You can decide the marriage by yourselves."
Old Mrs. Ye nodded.
Mrs. Du pushed Ye Daquan: "Say something."
Ye Daquan glared at her: "What the hell, I didn't like that pretty boy from the beginning to the end. If I don't agree, will you not let her marry?"
Mrs. Du sneered: "Humph, do you think I don't know what you are up to? What you mean is: you don't like the Zhou family, but you don't want to stop them. If they don't end up well in the future, it's all my responsibility, right?"
Ye Daquan: “…”
Mrs. Du: "Whether you agree or not, tell me."
Ye Daquan said angrily: "I don't agree, but she wants to get married, what can I do?"
Mrs. Du: "Hey, why didn't you say so earlier? I thought so too."
Ye Daquan: “…”
Old Lady Ye: "Why are you talking about drama here? Can you be serious?"
Du Shi, Ye Daquan: "..."
The four discussed it for a while and finally agreed.
Just as Ye Daquan said, they didn't like the Zhou family, but they couldn't find any fault with them. Jinhua herself liked them, so she had no reason to object.
Jinhua had been standing at the door looking out, and when she saw the door open, she hurried back to her room.
But before she could close the door and put the bolt on it, Mrs. Du pushed the door open and walked in.
"Mom..." he cried out awkwardly.
Mrs. Du said unhappily, "Send a message to Manager Yao tomorrow and tell him that we agree. Let the Zhou family propose marriage!"
"Really? Thank you, mother." Jinhua smiled happily, and her uneasy heart finally settled down.
"But before you get engaged, you are not allowed to go to the cloth shop or see him again, otherwise people will think that our daughter is worthless and keep clinging to her! Well, go to bed early!"
"Um."
After Mrs. Du left, Jinhua wrote the letter overnight.
The next day, she spent three cents and asked a little boy in the village to deliver the letter to the cloth shop for her.
But after the letter was sent, it fell into oblivion, with no response at all.
Jinhua waited for several days and became very anxious. She kept asking the boy who delivered the letter: "Did you really deliver the letter?"
The boy was annoyed by the question: "If the letter could be eaten, I wouldn't feel wronged if you suspected me of stealing it. But it can't be eaten, so of course it was delivered to the Jixiang Cloth Shop in town, and Manager Yao personally received it! Sister Jinhua, is that right?"
Jinhua smiled awkwardly: "Yeah, that's right."
The boy sighed, "I happen to be free now, I'll go to the cloth shop and ask for you."
"Thank you, Genzi." Jinhua took out a few coins.
But he didn't take the root and just turned around and ran away.
Before noon, Genzi came back and gave Jinhua a letter written by Manager Yao.
The letter said that Manager Yao had handed it over to the Zhou family on the day he received the letter.
As for Zhou Ziyang, he went to the provincial capital to purchase goods these days. Let Jinhua wait patiently, after all, a day must be chosen to propose marriage!
When Jinhua saw the last sentence, she suddenly became enlightened and her face turned red with embarrassment.
How could I have forgotten that I still had to choose a date!
…
Ye Caiping stood on the edge of the field with her two daughters, looking at the dozens of acres of land and fell into deep thought.
"Mom, it's already April. We have to plant rice early." Ye Jiner said.
Ye Caiping thought for a moment and said, "Let's plant 20 acres of rice and 60 acres of cassava."
Ye Jin'er and her sister were surprised.
Ye Huaner said: "Although cassava tastes good, you will get tired of it after a few meals. It is also troublesome to prepare, so rice is better."
Although cassava has a high yield and is easy to raise, my family is not short of money, so it is better to grow rice, which tastes better.
Ye Caiping said: "I have my own uses."
After hearing this, the two sisters stopped talking.
If my mother said it is useful, then it is really very useful.
After returning home, Ye Caiping turned on the system.
[Host, you are back!] You still have three trading opportunities, and the upper limit of the transaction amount is 50 taels. Please ask the host if he needs to trade. 】
Ye Caiping clicked yes.
[The host has chosen 5,000 jin of yellow-heart bread cassava stem seedlings, which cost 5 wen per jin, a total of 25 taels. Would the host like to purchase it? 】
Ye Caiping chose yes.
Yellow-heart bread cassava is a modern improved variety. It does not need to be soaked to remove poisons. It can be cooked and eaten directly after scraping the skin. It is non-toxic.
Since she reported bitter cassava last year, famine problems in many areas have been resolved.
Moreover, cassava has a huge yield, and mainly because it is not picky about the soil, is easy to grow, and requires little care once planted.
The government also posted notices promoting the cultivation of cassava on thin or wasteland. All villages and towns responded positively and began to grow cassava under the leadership of the village head or village chief.
But the imperial court was too stingy and only gave her fifty taels.
Thinking of this, Ye Caiping sighed softly.
In the eyes of the government, she was just a small peasant woman who "accidentally" discovered how to eat cassava. Although her contribution was huge, it was downplayed because of her identity.
The main reason is that she has no one to look up to!
But little by little, she would accumulate to a lot. If she worked harder, she would be able to become familiar to the group of people above her.
If she wants to keep her business going for a long time, she has to achieve some results.
The yellow-heart cassava she is preparing to push out now.
These sixty acres of cassava are not grown for eating, but will be used as seedlings for everyone when it is promoted in the future.
Besides, after the introduction of yellow-heart cassava, people no longer need to grow bitter cassava.
Not only can it save a lot of trouble, but it can also prevent people from being poisoned by eating cassava. This is a good thing that benefits both the country and the people.
In addition to buying the yellow-heart bread cassava stem seedlings, Ye Caiping also searched for whole plants of mature yellow-heart cassava, as well as the cassava roots that were about to mature.
When Ye Caiping found this thing, she was a little surprised: "The existence of this system is really magical. Even the whole plant with cassava is for sale."
Ye Caiping bought five.
On April 15th, all the workers in the workshop took a break.
Ye Caiping took this opportunity to pile the cassava seedlings purchased from the system into an empty warehouse, and then dragged the five whole cassava plants in sacks to the small vegetable garden beside the house.
Old man Ye was squatting there weeding.
The small vegetable seedlings planted after the Chinese New Year have grown up and have long been eaten at home.
"Hey, Caiping, what are you dragging?" Old man Ye straightened up.
“It’s cassava.”
Old Man Ye walked over and pulled out a few cassava plants: "Where did this come from? Why did you dig out the whole plant? There are still cassava underneath, but it doesn't look ripe yet."
