Chapter 170 Ye Zhen has a bad taste!
The mountains and forests are layered, the autumn wind is cool, the sun is warm, and the climate is no longer as humid and stuffy as in summer, bringing the unique coolness and joy of harvest in autumn.
Working in the fields is no longer boring. Except for a small part of the relatively open and flat fields in the village where rice is planted, most of the villagers are planted with watermelons and strawberries.
As the climate gets cooler, the strawberry yield begins to decline, and it is expected that after the final harvest, we will start clearing the land and leaving seedlings for planting the next crop.
The watermelon fields have winding vines and small yellow flowers blooming. This kind of watermelon is cold-resistant and moisture-resistant. It has been improved several times by Ye Zhen. The watermelon is highly optimized and especially suitable for planting in Shanbei Village.
The watermelons are growing rapidly now. Ye Zhen practices every day and has a clear understanding of the growth of the plants. It is time to sprout and pinch the side vines.
After asking Father Ye to tell the village chief about the watermelon planting techniques, the village loudspeakers were turned on early in the morning, and the village chief's loud voice rang out:
"All villagers who grow watermelons, if you want to get a high yield of watermelons, you need some planting skills. Let's learn how to pinch the side vines in Ye Minghai's watermelon field in the village. Start at 8 o'clock sharp! ..."
Zhang Shuiying immediately brought the tools, and Ye Chen and Ye Tao ran over breathlessly, "Grandma, let's go too."
They followed their grandmother's example and cultivated an acre of land. Zhang Shuiying helped them cultivate the land. The brother and sister bought watermelon seeds with their own savings. After that, they cultivated the seedlings and learned how to plant them in the fields little by little from Zhang Shuiying during the summer vacation.
Watermelon seeds are not cheap. The two siblings only have enough money to buy one acre of land. If they had more money, they would have planted all the empty fields at home. When they asked Huang Xi'e for money to plant more, Huang Xi'e frowned and drew her eyebrows with money:
"Why farm? Don't follow your grandmother's lead, or you'll be toiling all your life! Just study hard, get into college and work in an office. What's the point of farming?"
Still farming? If the village chief had not disagreed with renting land to outsiders, she would have rented her own land to Wanmao Supermarket. She really doesn't know how to make money.
"Okay, okay, I have no money. I used it all for your studies." Huang Xi'e waved her hands impatiently.
"My dad just sent me living expenses. We didn't spend that much, so we have some left..." Ye Tao didn't give up. She could make a lot of money growing strawberries in her village now. She was studying outside, and her classmates knew that her village was where Gaotang strawberries were grown. They all wanted to buy them, but they were too difficult to get online.
He also said that Gaotang strawberries are all exported, the price is very high, and they are very popular among rich people.
Everyone in the village who grows strawberries has a smile on their face. She knows that several of her good friends have planted strawberries at home and are planning to settle accounts with the village during the New Year to build a big house and buy a car.
She didn't know why her family didn't plant strawberries. They obviously had a field and the seeds were not particularly expensive. If they planted strawberries, they could earn a lot from one acre of land, no matter how much, and her father could come back from working outside.
Now that we finally have watermelon seeds, every family in the village who didn’t grow strawberries before has filled their empty spaces with them. Who would say that seeds are expensive now?
Only her mother goes to the county to play mahjong every day and doesn't care at all. Now her father has obviously agreed and sent money back, why does she say she has no money?
Ye Tao was about to cry with anger. Her family was not well off to begin with, and her father had to run business in the hot weather every day. Her mother didn't care about the family at all. Why did she have to do this!
The little girl asked with tears in her eyes, "Dad agreed to let us grow watermelons and sent money over. Why is there no money? Did you lose it all playing cards?"
"You didn't give us any living expenses last month. Grandma paid our tuition for the new semester, and you spent all the money and didn't give us any..."
Ye Tao was so angry that she couldn't stop crying. The more she thought about it, the more wronged she felt. If it weren't for her grandma, they wouldn't even have enough money to pay for tuition!
Ye Chen stood by. He had grown up. The money in the family was given by his father to his mother to prepare their living expenses. Who knew that the school had not given him the money yet? He even called his father to ask, and he was very surprised:
"I transferred your tuition and living expenses to your mother last week. Didn't she give it to you?"
Ye Chen was silent, thinking back to the entire summer vacation when his mother often went to the county to play cards and was not home. Now he understood everything.
His father works hard and doesn't earn much, but he still has to spend money on his mother. He probably sends all his salary to her for tuition and living expenses.
He smiled bitterly, but was afraid that his father would worry, so he could only reply: "Maybe my mother forgot, I'll ask her later."
Unexpectedly, when he asked his mother for money, she turned her face away unnaturally and stammered: "This money... is all because your father doesn't know how to make money. He hasn't transferred it yet. It's really useless..."
At this point, even she believed it, and she felt more justified. If she didn't know how to make money, would she have lost all the money for her children's tuition? If she had money, what would this little money mean?
It's because men are useless!
Ye Chen quietly watched his mother blaming his father and couldn't help but ask: "But my dad said he has transferred the money!"
Huang Xi'e was exposed in front of her children, and she was so embarrassed that she threw the jar into the ground:
"I don't have any money. I've spent it all. Anyway, you're already this old and your grades are average. Why don't you just stop studying?"
The more I think about it, the more it makes sense. Why do rural people need to study so much? They should have gone out to work and earn money long ago.
As for passing the college entrance exam to work in an office? Forget it. Not many people in the village can pass the exam.
It's just a job anyway, so you can earn more money if you leave earlier.
"Your sister is a girl. There is no point for her to read so many books. She will belong to someone else's family in the future anyway. Just go out to work with you." It saves money.
Ye Chen was chilled by what his mother said. He had long lost hope in her and was extremely disappointed. He did not expect that he would be even more disappointed now.
He didn't want to bother with his mother anymore, so he turned around and left.
"Hey, hey! I haven't finished what I'm saying yet. You have to send back the money you earn from working. You're still young and don't know how to save money."
Finally, Zhang Shuiying found out that her grandchildren had not registered for tuition and living expenses, which were also provided by Zhang Shuiying. She was so angry that she went to Huang Xi'e's house and wanted to scold her.
Unexpectedly, the other party had already gone to work in the county at that time.
Now the village is concentrating on planting strawberries. You need to buy the seeds yourself and register with the village how many you want to plant. Ye Chen called his father Ye Yong to tell him about it, but he didn't expect that the money would also be spent by Huang Xi'e.
Ye Chen was so angry that he was gasping for breath, and his mother was still nagging:
"Now that you have been given books to read, why do you still want to do something else? Why waste the money on studying by wanting to farm? You can save money by farming at home."
This is their mother, and the brother and sister no longer have any hope.
The two of them saved money to buy seeds for one acre of land. After registering with the village chief, they followed Zhang Shuiying to learn how to open the fields and pull weeds.
Normally, Zhang Shuiying helps to look after the two of them when they go to school. Now that they are back from vacation, as soon as the radio sounds, they subconsciously follow and learn, so they go to their grandmother's place to go together.
They also need to earn money. Mom can't be relied upon. If they earn money, Dad won't have to work so hard. Next year, Dad will be able to stay at home and grow crops in the village without having to go out.
Zhang Shuiying brought her grandchildren, and along the way other villagers came and greeted each other and went to Ye Zhen's fields to learn.
After a while, it was eight o'clock and many people came. Father Ye stood by the field and taught the people who were gathered in a circle:
"There are many flowers blooming now. After the bees pollinate, they pinch off the heads, leaving seven leaves from the bottom upwards. It looks like this side vine..."
Father Ye followed Ye Zhen's instructions and explained the techniques to the people around him over and over again. Some villagers who didn't know how to do it asked:
"Then how do you tell if there's pollination?"
Father Ye smiled and replied, "Pollination is almost complete now. You can see how many bees and butterflies come here every day since the flowers started blooming. Don't worry, just remove the first buds in the morning."
"That's right. The field is full of bees and butterflies, and no other insects. It's really rare."
That's for sure, she had set up a special formation for them. Ye Zhen stood with his hands behind his back, holding his head high and proudly outside the crowd.
"Yes, there are so many bees. How much honey will there be if we find a beehive? Ye Facai, your beehive has produced a lot of honey this year, right?"
Ye Facai has been raising honey in the village. There are many wild flowers on the mountains, and he can earn a lot of money every year by raising bees. This year, the village planted some crops, so there is no shortage of pollen, and the bees at home produced a lot of honey.
Hearing this, he smiled modestly and said, "It's okay. If you buy honey from my house, it must be good honey." He took the opportunity to advertise again.
People around started talking about all kinds of things, such as whose fruit trees had a good harvest, and whose vegetables were growing well in the vegetable garden. Among them was Ye Wubo, a mountain runner. He and his two sons were also mountain runners. This year, there were many good things on the mountain, and they carried them home in large and small bags every time, and made a lot of money every day.
Someone suggested going back to pick mountain products and tea seeds, and immediately many people agreed to go together.
The teaching gradually went off track, and Ye's father cleared his throat and interrupted, "Everyone knows how to do it, right?" His mouth was almost dry from talking.
Ye Zhen handed over some water in a timely manner to moisten Ye's father's throat.
"I know, I know! We'll try it first and won't ask you. Thank you!" The villagers laughed loudly and expressed their gratitude one after another.
After the teaching, Ye Zhen praised his father and gave him a thumbs up:
"Dad, you are so powerful now. Look, everyone believes in you."
Father Ye rolled his eyes at her. Didn’t he know who the villagers really believed in?
He turned around and called his younger brother Ye to start working. The weather was not hot, so in addition to taking care of the watermelons, he also had to weed the watermelon field.
There is abundant spiritual energy and plants grow fast. Each family in the village is responsible for their own land and they all work diligently in the fields to weed and apply fertilizers. The fertilizers they use are all farmyard manure.
The smell was a bit unpleasant. Ye Zhen had sharp senses and immediately created an aura shield for himself. He shook his hands and worked hard, sorting the watermelon sprouts and weeds into piles.
But it was tough for little brother Ye. He ate too many spiritual things at home. Although he had not practiced spiritual cultivation, his five senses were much more sensitive than those of ordinary people. For a moment, he was almost suffocated by the smell.
"vomit"
Applying fertilizer to a single field is fine, but applying fertilizer in a centralized manner across the entire village would simply be a giant stinky bomb that could make a person’s soul leave their body and make them go to heaven!
But the other people around him seemed not to notice. They were all smiling and working very diligently, which made him look out of place!
"Ugh" He was about to roll his eyes because of the smell.
"What are you doing? You're just pulling some grass and taking your time. You can't even catch up with your grandfather and the others." Father Ye raised his eyebrows.
"It stinks. I don't want to either." Brother Ye said aggrievedly.
He felt the stench going straight into his head, and his clothes and skin were all smelly.
"Come, let me give you some orange peel to smell. I brought you a mask." Ye Zhen's family affection surged and he rarely showed any conscience.
There was no other way. Everyone in the family had been cast under a spiritual shield by her. She gave the mask to Ye Xiaodi to protect him, and then gave him another spiritual shield.
When Ye put on the mask, he could no longer smell the stench. He happily thanked:
"Sister, you are still good to me."
Ye Zhen turned his head. Could she say that she deliberately gave Brother Ye the spiritual energy shield after a while?
Nothing else, just bad taste.
