Chunxiao thought about her own dog-like calligraphy and decided this would work. So she took out her brush and ink and watched the village head write as she spoke. The content was exactly what she had said, but she was stumped about the punishment for violating the rules. She looked at the people sitting around the table and asked, "What punishment would scare them?"
"Or we can just fine you. Didn't we agree with the restaurant to fine you? Just say it's a bigger amount."
"What if someone outside is willing to pay a high price to steal our technology? They can afford it."
"Definitely not this year. No one knows about this this year. It's hard to say after this year. It would be best if it can have an impact on future generations."
"If you violate the rules, I think you'll be removed from the family tree and expelled from the village."
When the head of the village said this, everyone was stunned. This, this is too serious. You know, apart from the family tree, we are rootless and floating like duckweed. It is difficult for us to gain a foothold anywhere and we are easily bullied wherever we go. Only the head of the village can say this because he has the right.
Chunxiao, however, felt that the headman's support was a strong deterrent to the villagers. "Besides what the headman said, there's also the fine. Anyway, as long as they don't break the law, these two rules are just empty rules and don't matter."
Without waiting for everyone to express their opinions, the village head wrote down these two points, and finally, the deed template came out.
Chunxiao copied two more copies of the one written by the head of the village, asked the head of the village to sign his name on one copy, and gave the other copy to the head of the village.
"Do you still have these cotton seeds? How about I buy some?"
"We have selected cotton seeds at home, so you don't have to buy them. How many acres of land do you have? Let me see how much seeds you need."
"We have a total of 14 mu of land, 4 mu of which is used for grain and 10 mu is planned for cotton."
Chunxiao asked Dahe to go to the utility room to weigh 40 kilograms of seeds for the headman's family. She told the headman in detail the number of seeds to be planted in the early stage, the distance and depth. If the land is good, you can plant shallower. If the land is like hers, you can plant deeper. As for raising seedlings, it doesn't matter. There is no need to raise seedlings in advance now. The only difference is that the harvest will be a little less and the harvest will be a little later.
After the head of the village left, she wrote down what she had just said so that she could read it to the villagers later.
The rain did lighten up in the afternoon. Everyone else in the family had gone home, but Yan Dashan and Yan Dahe were still busy looking for a long-term worker.
Xingfu and Meiman went to help Zhuangzi. Now they are familiar with each other and can arrange work for themselves. If Chunxiaochu does not make any arrangements, they will agree to let them arrange it themselves.
She had originally thought of taking a nap in the afternoon, fearing she would be too busy every day once the weather improved. However, not long after she lay down, she heard a knock at the gate, and she quickly got dressed.
Unexpectedly, it was the Fang couple and their two daughters-in-law. She hurriedly opened the gate to the courtyard, "Uncle Fuping, Aunt Fang, come in." Chunxiao welcomed them into the house, "My mother said you were in a bad mood these two days. I wanted to go and see you, but I was afraid of making you sad again, so I thought of going to see you in two days. So you came. Come, have a glass of water, it's a little cold." The three women had swollen eyes, they must have cried many times.
Fang smiled sheepishly. "It's nothing to see. Nowadays, most women in the village have swollen eyes when they meet. I don't feel ashamed about it. If things can't be changed, I can only pray to the Buddha every day, hoping that the Buddha will bless them and keep them safe. There's nothing else we can do. We can only leave it to fate. It's not just our family."
"It's best if you can think it through. There's nothing we can do about it."
"I heard from your mother today that you were going to teach the villagers how to grow cotton, and that they had to sign some documents. Chunxiao, could you please tell us more about it? I originally wanted to join you in growing cotton."
It was Tian who had gone to talk to them. She had asked how the village head had been so quick. She had then explained to Yan Fuping's family the expected yield range for cotton grown according to her method, naturally aiming for a lower yield, so that there would be no disappointment in the end, only surprise. She had also explained the relevant terms of the agreement and told them that the village head would be discussing the matter in detail that afternoon.
Yan Fuping asked her to write the deed without saying a word. Their family's current situation was obvious to everyone, and Fang knew a little more than other people in the village, so they would believe it without any explanation.
Chunxiao had already made a few extra copies. After confirming with them, he went back to the room to get the deed and asked them to put their fingerprints on it. He also weighed the seeds for them and told them the details of planting. The family went back happily.
After the Fang family left, Yan Musheng also arrived. Gradually, more people from the village arrived, most with questions. Chunxiao watched the growing number of people outside the door and registered their names. She told them that if the weather was good tomorrow and it didn't rain, she would meet them in the open space outside her yard at the beginning of the day to explain everything. She had limited seeds, so it would be first come, first served. If it rained, they would reschedule the meeting for another day. They could bring their own small stools.
Xu Shizhu was the last to arrive. He said that Dongsheng's mother was not in good condition, so he came over and signed the contract directly.
Chunxiao suggested that they take the baby to the town to see a doctor, as it might not be good if the situation was delayed for too long. However, Xu Shizhu waved his hand and said, "Your aunt has always been like this. She was better last year, but now that Dongsheng is gone, she is depressed and medicine is useless." He sighed and went back.
Happiness and Meiman came back in the evening, both of them with mud on their feet. They changed their shoes at the door when they entered the house.
"How's things at the farm? It's raining today, so I guess we can't do any work." Chunxiao asked casually.
"They've been working in the fields. They were already working when we went there. Everyone brought a bamboo hat. The land there is better than ours. They grow more crops and grow better crops than we do. We also planted an acre of wheat today."
