Chapter 145 A ray of hope
Jun Moye knew nothing about farming, so he looked at Su Hanchu hopefully.
After listening to this, Su Hanchu pondered for a moment and spoke slowly.
"The Thousand Withered Grass poison is difficult to cure, and even if it could be cured, the price of the antidote would be quite high. This land is the origin of all things, and it also has the ability to regenerate and replace organisms.
This way, with the Yan family's compensation this year, it won't affect everyone's livelihood if they don't plant rice next season. Let's just leave the rice fields as they are this year! We should be able to plant rice again next year."
Zhou Lizheng nodded slightly and spoke after hearing this.
"For now, this is the only way. Let's just treat it as a long vacation for everyone this year and have a good rest. But we've been used to farming all year long, and suddenly there's no work to do. I guess everyone is still not used to it."
Su Hanchu smiled and spoke when he heard this.
"Isn't it easy to work? Uncle Zhou, let everyone rest for a few days. Who knows, I might need your help in a few days. Of course, Uncle Zhou, don't worry, I won't ask for your help in vain."
Zhou Lizheng spoke quickly after hearing this.
"Look at what you're saying, kid. We're all happy to help the Jun family, even without any reward. The money you've earned for us by coming here is more than what we could earn by working for them for several years."
At this time, outside the carriage, there were still many villagers following behind the carriage. After all, the carriage could only seat a few people, but everyone had a smile on their face as they walked, and every step was full of energy.
"Our village is blessed to have the Jun family."
"Who says it's not? Ten times the compensation is equivalent to the silver we earned from selling the rice we planted for five years. This time, we've turned a disaster into a blessing."
"We have to thank the Jun family for this. We made a profit last time when the Yan family compensated us for our medical expenses. Now they are asking the Yan family to buy this season's rice at ten times the price. This young couple is really capable."
"Yes, from now on, we must listen more to the Jun family. Our lives have become better since they came to our village."
"Let me tell you, the Jun family is much more powerful than the county magistrate. Today, I saw that the county magistrate clearly wanted to favor the Yan family. Fortunately, the Jun family was well prepared."
The person next to him immediately reached out and pulled the sleeve of the person who was speaking, and reminded him in a low voice.
"Be careful with your words. Don't say this casually in the future. Don't bring trouble to the Jun family. They are kind enough to help us."
The person who spoke was aware that he spoke impulsively.
"What I know is, I'll just say it in front of our own people."
When they passed by the town, everyone was happy. They still had the silver compensation from the Yan family, and their families were considered a little richer. They all agreed to buy meat and some cloth or household items.
Su Hanchu and Jun Moye were waiting for everyone. It was not realistic for everyone to go back together in a carriage, but they could help everyone bring their belongings back.
Zhou Lizheng also went shopping. The Jun family often came to the town to do shopping, and they would come to the town again tomorrow to look at the shops. They didn't need to go shopping today, mainly because they wanted to leave space in the carriage for everyone to put their things.
Jun Moye gave Liu Shan a few instructions, then whispered a few words to Jiang Like, then got off the carriage and stretched out his hand to Su Hanchu.
"Chu Chu, everyone's gone shopping. It'll probably take some time for them to come back. It's boring to just sit here. Let's go for a walk over there. I remember there's a lake not far away."
Su Hanchu put her hand in his and let him help her get off the carriage. The two of them walked away hand in hand.
There is also a rice field by the lake. When the breeze blows, Su Hanchu's hair flutters slightly.
The bottom of the lake reflected the blue sky, white clouds and golden rice, and the mood of both of them became better.
Jun Moye reached out to tuck the loose hair behind Su Hanchu's ears, then put his arm around her waist.
"Chu Chu, can the thousand-blighted grass in the rice fields really disappear on its own? You have a solution, right?"
Su Hanchu looked up at him when he heard that.
"As expected, it's Jun Moye who understands me best. In fact, the Thousand Withered Grass can't exist forever. It will fade away with time. Of course, it won't take just one year. Basically, this incident has destroyed almost all of the rice fields.
The main problem is that the drain is blocked. The thousand-bone grass and lime water have soaked the soil thoroughly these days, but it doesn't matter. Have you forgotten what's in my space?"
Jun Moye chuckled and held her in his arms, his arms around her waist.
"So Chuchu is going to use the spiritual spring water in the space for the people? Isn't this a bit of a waste?"
Su Hanchu leaned in his arms, letting the breeze brush across her face, enjoying this rare moment of tranquility.
"For the sake of the people, there's no point in talking about waste. Besides, the spiritual spring water in my space can be produced. It's not like it will disappear once it's used up."
Thinking about the curved plow developed by Su Hanchu before, how many people would save labor in the future because of it, and now it has solved so many problems for the people of Guanping Village, Jun Moye's face was full of pride.
"Chu Chu, you are a blessing to the people of Northwest China."
Su Hanchu looked at him with a smile and spoke playfully.
"Then you should say that the people of the Northwest should be grateful to you for marrying me, otherwise I would not have followed you to the Northwest."
Jun Moye looked at her playful giggle and bent down to kiss her forehead.
The two of them walked slowly around the lake again, and when they thought it was about time, they walked back.
Soon everyone bought what they wanted.
Zhou Lizheng even spoke with a smile.
"Mo Ye, Han Chu, when you go back today, the whole family will come to my house for dinner. I bought a lot of food specially."
Zhou Lizhen was holding a lot of vegetables and meat, and several people around him were holding chickens and fish, as if they were helping.
Jun Moye did not refuse. After all, he had been very familiar with the Zhou family after spending several months with them.
"Then I'll bother you, Uncle Zhou. It's just that we have a large family."
Uncle Zhou smiled and put the things on the carriage.
"Don't worry, there's enough food."
Because the villagers bought a lot of things, there was not much room left in the carriage. Jun Moye helped Su Hanchu sit outside the carriage, and then drove the carriage himself.
Jiang Like handed a lot of candied haws he had bought to Jun Moye.
Jun Moye put the candied haws away and waited to share them with the children when he got home.
When they arrived at the village, the villagers said goodbye to the Jun family warmly. Zhou Lizheng repeatedly urged the two to bring the Jun family to visit, and Su Hanchu and Jun Moye agreed with a smile.
After returning to the Jun family, Jun Moye took out two strings of candied haws and asked Liu Shan to take the rest and distribute them to the children.
Su Hanchu went to check on the mushrooms he had planted. Chuntao Qiukui took good care of the mushrooms. Unbeknownst to him, the mushrooms had already formed small umbrellas that were grayish white in color.
Su Hanchu smiled and sprinkled some more water on it. Finally, the planting was successful. Thinking that the villagers would have nothing to do in the next six months, maybe he could let everyone grow mushrooms, and then find a way to sell the mushrooms.
Jun Moye walked in and handed her the candied haws.
"What are you thinking about when you laugh like that?"
