Chapter 391 Smart People Know What to Do and What Not to Do
Lin Mo handed the note to Xu Mengxian, who was waiting anxiously, and said, "She's fine. She'll be here tonight!"
Xu Mengxian took the note with an excited look on her face. It was not that she did not trust her sister-in-law, but she was worried without confirming it herself.
After confirming that her sister was really okay, Xu Mengxian finally breathed a sigh of relief:
"Great, my sister is fine!"
Liu Ying, who was holding the child beside her, also nodded:
“It’s good that you’re okay.
I'll go get some pomelo leaves and wait for her to come back so she can bathe in them to get rid of the bad luck."
After saying this, he hurried away holding the child.
Lin Mo shook her head. Her mother was very impetuous now and did whatever she said.
But it's also good this way, it's energetic.
"I'll go help Aunt Ying." Xu Mengxian smiled at her, turned around and chased after Liu Ying:
"Aunt Ying, wait for me. I'll go with you."
Lin Mo shook his head.
Xu Xianyu is fine, so I can focus on doing my own thing.
Because of Xu Xianyu's matter, many things have been neglected in the past two days.
Old Song just sent a message saying that they were already plowing the soil and would finish it in a few days. He sent me a message asking what I wanted to plant.
So she has to go over and take a look now.
After calling Zhao Mu, Lin Mo walked out of the village.
But after taking a few steps, Jia Kun came over from the side.
He glanced at Lin Mo, hesitant to speak, and finally gritted his teeth, "Mrs. Xu, can I talk to you for a few minutes?"
Lin Mo paused, his expression calm, "I don't have much time, so let me make it short!"
Jia Kun nodded, his face serious:
"Jia Jie is dead, and the villagers pushed me to be the village chief. You..."
"I have no objection." Lin Mo interrupted him and looked up:
"I only have one request. Keep the Jia people under control and don't let them mess with me."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
Jia Kun frowned and turned away.
Even without her saying anything, she would have ordered them not to provoke her.
After they walked away, Zhao Mu looked at Lin Mo, "Young Madam, why don't you find one of our people to be the village chief?
It would be more convenient for us if our people were village chiefs!"
Who knows if these people with the surname Jia will cause trouble again in the future!
"No need." Lin Mo shook his head:
“Most people in Beijia Village have the surname Jia. If we assign someone from our group to be the village chief, I’m afraid they won’t accept it and cause trouble for us, so there’s no need for that.
Moreover, Jia Kun is also a smart man. As the village chief, he naturally knows what to do and what not to do.
If he is stupid, we can replace him later."
At this point, Lin Mo paused, "Remember to arrange for people to keep an eye on the surrounding areas of the village, and never let something like this happen again.
We also need to arrange for someone to guard the top of the mountain, so that if there is any major movement, we can know something in advance."
Lin Mo's face was gloomy. This was their base camp, and there were old people and children here. They must not be careless.
Zhao Mu nodded, "Young Madam, please rest assured. Everything has been arranged."
Lin Mo nodded and stopped talking, striding forward.
Soon he found Lao Song.
At this time, Lao Song was working in the fields with other people.
With the help of the cows, the land was turned over quickly.
When Old Song saw Lin Mo, he immediately handed the work in his hands to someone else and walked towards Lin Mo, "Young Madam, you are here."
Lin Mo nodded and observed the turned over ground.
Although she had never farmed before, she had studied a lot of agricultural science books during this period, so she naturally knew that when plowing the soil, it must be plowed deeply.
And the ground in front of me was indeed turned deep enough.
It can be seen that Lao Song and his colleagues are very dedicated.
Lin Mo turned to look at Lao Song, "You sent me a message saying that you didn't know what to plant.
Can't we do the same as the villagers next to us? Whatever they grow, we grow the same?"
"Of course." Old Song smiled bitterly:
"It's just that they grow soybeans, which have a very low yield. They're worried that if we follow suit and grow soybeans, we won't be able to survive the long winter with this little food."
"Where is the rice?" Lin Mo frowned.
"Almost no one is planting. I asked the locals, and they said it's hard to get water in this area. If it's dry and there's no rain, the rice will wither. It's too far to fetch water for irrigation, and there's so much land that it's impossible to carry enough." Old Song shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"So the people in this area grow drought-resistant crops."
The water problem is indeed a problem. Lin Mo frowned as he looked at the black soil under his feet.
There are several types of land, black soil is the best, and it would be a pity not to grow rice on such good land.
Moreover, there is a big river not far away. If used well, these lands can become fertile fields.
Lin Mo also noticed that there were few rivers and canals in this area.
Yes, the canals are also dry and there is no water at all.
There is water in the big river, but the river level is very low and the water cannot flow to higher places.
If you want to grow rice, you must ensure that there is enough water for irrigation.
Lin Mo gritted his teeth and said, "Old Song, all these lands will be used to grow rice. I will find a way to solve the water problem."
Old Song opened his mouth, but finally nodded:
"Okay! Everything is up to you, Madam."
Lin Mo nodded, chatted with him for a few words, and then left.
As soon as she left, others immediately gathered around:
"Old Song, why don't you just explain it to the young lady? It's difficult to bring water in here."
"And there's the matter of grain seeds. Why didn't you tell us? It's so hard to buy grain seeds here. Even if there are any, the price would be ridiculously high. We simply can't afford it."
"Old Song, you have to tell the young lady this. I don't want to fail to grow anything and betray her trust."
…
Old Song shook his head, "I know what you are worried about.
But we should believe the young lady. If she said so, there must be arrangements. We should just do as she says.
If I can't buy the seeds, I will ask the young lady for help.
Now the most important thing for us is to turn the soil over and apply fertilizer. Once the soil is turned over and fertilized, we can plant anything, right? "
Old Song quickly calmed the man down.
After he calmed the man down, he left in a hurry.
He also needs to find someone to ask where to buy the seeds.
The noise here soon reached Lin Mo.
Is it difficult to get grain seeds?
Lin Mo frowned and took this matter to heart.
But the most urgent thing is how to bring the water up.
If we can't bring the water up, everything is in vain.
Lin Mo thought of the great craftsman Zhang Deping.
So she rushed back without stopping and went straight to find Zhang Deping.
Zhang Deping was stunned when he heard this. "Young Madam, do you want to divert the water from the lower reaches to the higher reaches?"
Lin Mo nodded, "That's right. I thought about digging a canal before, but digging a canal is not something that can be completed in a day or two, and water for crops is imminent.
So I wondered if there was any way to bring water from low places to high places.
"Master craftsman, you are very knowledgeable. Do you know how to do this? Or do you know someone who can do this?"
Zhang Deping shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Young Madam, you really flatter me. I really can't do this. But..."
At this point, Zhang Deping hesitated and looked up:
"I've seen others transport water from a low place to a high place, but I don't know if he can help."
This person has a strange and eccentric temper and doesn't like to interact with others. I met him by chance when I went to help him repair his house.
Besides, it’s hard for people he doesn’t welcome to get close to where he lives, so I’m afraid your trip will be in vain.”
Lin Mo's heart moved. She asked Zhang Deping for the address and left.
No matter how difficult it is to contact her, she has to go there. It is so crucial.
If water could be transported to higher ground, all the land nearby could be used to grow rice.
Thinking of the golden scene during the autumn harvest, Lin Mo felt a little excited.
However, Xu Dapeng knew that she was going out for three days and objected on the spot:
"Young Madam, I don't agree. It's too dangerous for you to go out alone.
If you want to hire someone, I can do it for you!"
The situation outside was unclear, and no one knew if there was someone watching them in secret, waiting for them to be left alone.
So Xu Dapeng didn't agree with her going out.
Especially the place she was going to was even more dangerous, it was a famous restricted area in Mo City.
If something happens to the young lady when she goes here, how will she explain it to the young master?
Lin Mo shook her head. "The other party has a strange personality. If I don't go there in person, I'm afraid I won't be able to persuade him. Going there in person represents our sincerity in asking him for help, so I have to go this time."
"But Madam..."
"Okay, don't worry about me." Lin Mo interrupted him directly:
"I'll send a message to Old Xu, asking him to rush over and join me. You don't have to worry about his safety.
On the contrary, here in Beijia Village, there are many people working here, and they are very talkative. I would like you to keep a close eye on them and prevent them from causing trouble."
Xu Dapeng knew that he couldn't persuade her, so he didn't say much, but just asked Lin Mo to bring a few more people!
Lin Mo shook her head, indicating that she would only take Zhao Mu with her.
She brought Zhao Mudu with her because she was afraid she wouldn't know the way, otherwise she would have set out alone.
After packing up her things, Lin Mo said goodbye to her mother and left with Zhao Muting.
After she left, Liu Ying's originally indifferent expression instantly fell.
Momo is out again, please don’t get into any trouble!
Xu Dapeng turned his head and said, "Mrs. Lin, you were so calm just now. I thought you weren't worried!"
Liu Ying smiled bitterly, "How could I not be worried?
I just want her to be assured that she doesn’t have to worry about us anymore!”
Her daughter has her own ideas and thoughts, and as her mother, all she can do is to let her have no worries!
