Chapter 245 Let’s continue to grow vegetables and grains! !
"Dad, I'm back!"
Chi Sheng returned home and went straight to his parents' room. Seeing that no one was in the room, he immediately became worried: "Dad!!"
"Late birth? It's my mother's late birth!! Wuuwu!"
"Mom! You woke up! You were so worried about your son. I thought..."
The old man looked at the mother and son hugging each other and crying excitedly, and he couldn't help but tears welled up in his eyes: "Your mother just woke up, I was worried that she might have some hidden illness, so I just came back from the clinic to have the doctor check her pulse!"
Chi Sheng: "Mom and Dad, I have some good news. I found a job at Xu's noodle shop on South Street. I earn 15 cents a day, and it includes two meals!"
"Fifteen cents a day?" Chi Sheng's mother was surprised and happy when she heard this. Fifteen cents a day would be fine, but the most important thing is that it also includes two meals. This is a great treatment!
She and the old man only earned ten cents a day doing laundry and emptying chamber pots for others, and food was not provided. Sometimes they would come across leftover food or cakes from a banquet hosted by the host, and if the steward was kind enough, they would have the servants take the leftovers away to distribute. When they got their hands on some, they would also have a small piece of cake left over.
At this time, the old man next to him was not as happy as his wife. He was worried that Chi Sheng would not do well. After all, he was only twelve years old before the accident.
Chi Sheng felt that his father seemed a little unhappy, and asked with concern: "Dad, are you worried about something?"
"Chisheng! Listen to your father and stay at home to recover before looking for a job!"
Chi Sheng: "Dad, don't worry about me, I'm fine now. Although I was only twelve years old when I accidentally injured my head, I'm twenty-one now! My mind is clear now. I don't just remember things before I was twelve, I also remember everything that happened after I injured my head."
"So, Dad, you don't have to treat me like a twelve-year-old child. I'm a twenty-one-year-old man!"
Hearing Chi Sheng's words, the couple couldn't help but think of Xu Xiaoju who ran away with someone. Their son had memories of that period of time, which meant that he still remembered Xu Xiaoju.
Thinking of how Chi Sheng liked Xu Xiaoju the most when he was stupid, and protected her like an eyeball, he immediately looked at Chi Sheng, hesitant to speak: "Son! You...you...do you remember that woman?"
"Mom, I'm not stupid anymore, and I haven't lost my memory. Let's not mention that person anymore. It's ok that she ran away with someone, but she almost killed me. I won't forgive her."
"Hey, mother, just don't mention it!"
Alas, I can’t understand why my son Chisheng is so handsome, but that vicious woman ran away with that widower Hu Ge!
That man is ugly, and he looks to be around 48! I heard that his two wives died, and neither of them left any children. I really don't know what that evil woman wants.
After dinner in the evening, Old Man Su and several members of the Su family came to the door to discuss whether to continue growing vegetables on the land where the vegetables were picked, or to keep it for growing grain next month.
Xu Zhiyi: "Grandfather, we grow vegetables and grains. As we don't have that much land, I will buy another 30 acres of land."
Everyone was shocked when this was said. Thirty acres of land? There shouldn't be anything wrong with their ears, right?
Su: "Zhiyi, buying so much land, even if we have mules, I'm afraid we won't be able to handle it!"
Old Man Su: "Yes! You should focus on the business of the shop in town now. That is where you can really make money. Even if you farm for a lifetime, you may not make as much as the shop."
Xu Zhiyi: "That's not necessarily true. If we can't grow enough crops, we can ask the villagers for help! We can just pay them for their work."
"Oh, farming is a loss-making business, and you still have to pay out of your own pocket to hire people to work? Zhiyi, what's the point? After deducting the grain tax, there is really not much grain left from one acre of land! After deducting the labor cost, it's really all in vain!" Old Mrs. Su was afraid that Xu Zhiyi didn't think it through, so she quickly listed all the problems.
"Everyone, listen to me. I can think this way. I must have thought about what you think. Our best one-acre field can produce up to 300 kilograms of grain. But, what if I can double the grain yield of one acre of field?"
"Then as long as the extra money is doubled, isn't it a sure win?"
When everyone heard this, they looked at each other, thinking that Xu Zhiyi was joking? Double? That would be 600 kilograms. How could this be possible? 300 kilograms per acre would be the highest yield in Fenglin Country!
Xu Zhiyi glanced at everyone and knew from their expressions that they didn’t believe it!
"I'm serious. I have the confidence to give it a try. Even if I can't double my weight, I can at least gain another 100 or 200 pounds."
She thought about it. With the spiritual spring water as an aid to soak the grain seeds, the survival rate is super high. In terms of production capacity, she doesn't know whether it will be useful for now, but with the addition of fertilizers, she can also research insecticides. The most important thing is that she can introduce modern farming management methods.
With these steps, it can't be worse than the original, right?
Shen Changan Shen Wuyou: "I believe in my wife, I support you!"
After hearing this, Old Man Su thought about it and thought that maybe his granddaughter really could do it?
"Oh, okay, grandpa supports you too!"
Su: "Mother supports you too, Zhiyi, just go for it! If you need any help from us, just tell us!"
The rest of the people naturally nodded in support!
Xu Zhiyi: "Okay, then I'll go ask the village chief tomorrow if he knows where there's land for sale."
After the Su family went back next door, Xu Zhiyi took a shower and returned to his room to check today's accounts.
After Shen Changan came out of the shower and washed his clothes, he came in and saw Xu Zhiyi was still checking the accounts, so he went behind her and helped her massage her shoulders!
Xu Zhiyi: "You and Wuyou have been managing five shops these days, you must be tired! You should rest more and don't spoil me like this!"
"You are my wife, I am willing, and I feel happy in my heart!"
It's so sweet. As long as he serves his wife, he is very happy!
"Silly, your wife, I feel sorry for you. You have been helping me make cakes all day, and you still have to take time out to help me check the shop bills. Anyone would get tired if they did this every day!"
As he said that, he closed the account book, stood up, and put his hands on Shen Changan’s shoulders: “Husband, can I give you a shoulder massage tonight?”
When Shen Changan heard the word "husband", his heart melted! He hugged Xu Zhiyi and pressed her into his arms: "My wife, you said you are not allowed to beg for mercy tonight..."
"Oh, no, I meant to pinch your shoulders, do you want to... um..."
Shen Changan picked up Xu Zhiyi, put her on the bed, leaned over and whispered in her ear: "Madam, let's try the third page of the book tonight..."
"What... um..."
"Chang'an~"
Page 3? She couldn’t remember which pose it was!!
An hour later.
"Wow! Husband, I'm tired!!"
"Madam, let's change the husband, he is on top!"
"No... come again!!!"
This time, it was not until half an hour later that the two of them actually stopped to sleep.
