Chapter 271 Shen Wanxue's Decision

Lin Yuru was reluctant at first, but after Xia Juanjuan said a few words to her, she finally obeyed.

As people age, they are more likely to suffer from osteoporosis and calcium deficiency. Dairy products can supplement calcium, and drinking them is definitely good for you.

The lactation period of a dairy sheep is seven to nine months, and it can produce more than one kilogram of milk every day, which is enough for a family.

Even if it is occasionally insufficient, there is always enough goat milk in the space to replenish it.

Also, the hens we raised last year have become old hens this year, so we can raise a few more this year. This time we don’t need to find someone to hatch the chicks, as the old hens can take care of the nests themselves.

Xiaowen, Xiaowu and Beibei took Yanyan, Yeye and Yaoyao to the chicken coop every day to see the old hen brooding in the nest. When the chicks broke out of the shells, the six of them were so excited that they stayed up most of the night.

The regulations stipulate that a family cannot raise more than ten chickens. Lin Yuru was reluctant to raise old hens that could still lay eggs, so she could only raise fewer new chicks. So she raised four more chicks. The other newly hatched chicks were sent to the commune and exchanged for work points.

By March, Beibei also started going to school with a small schoolbag.

The three little kids Yanyan, Yeye and Yaoyao cry every day and ask to go to school with their older brothers and sisters, and Xia Juanjuan is helpless.

If you cry and make a fuss about going to school now, don’t cry and make a fuss about not going to school later!

Humph! Things change over time, and her mother will have to wait and see what happens next.

Lin Yuru and Xia Juanjuan had no choice but to take the three younger ones to the village entrance every morning, and then bring the three younger ones back.

After the triplets were taken away last time, Lin Yuru now basically dares not let the triplets out of her sight.

Xia Juanjuan is no exception.

Because of this, she hasn't used space to go to the county town or Beijing, or to do business with Luocheng for a long time.

The workers from the two factories in the county town could visibly see the quality of the food in the cafeteria declining rapidly, and they couldn't help but scold the cafeteria chef and purchasing manager.

The purchasing manager was also helpless. They wanted to buy, but the seller was busy and couldn't sell it for the time being. What could they do? They were scolded and had to buy some on the black market, but the quality was nothing compared to what they bought from Xia Juanjuan.

But all he could do was sigh and wait for Xia Juanjuan to resume trading.

Spring corn, sweet potatoes, cotton, peanuts and other crops are gradually planted.

In addition, regarding the ginseng planting matter mentioned earlier, Secretary Zhao secretly gathered all the reliable people from the three villages in the commune and held a meeting. Everyone signed a document and contributed money, and they all voted unanimously to do this.

Therefore, within a few days, they went to the black market and found the person who was pretending to be selling ginseng seeds, whom Xia Juanjuan had asked the people in Luocheng to help, and bought the seeds back.

This time, Xia Juanjuan specifically asked them to help, so Luocheng did not make any money from it. Otherwise, ginseng seeds are not cheap. Even if the villagers wanted to plant them, the cost of buying the seeds alone would be enough to discourage most people!

Anyway, the seeds were purchased successfully, and everyone secretly selected a place in the mountains and planted the ginseng.

The rest is up to the land and time.

The mountains here are suitable for ginseng growth, and the ginseng seeds in Xia Juanjuan's space are all top-notch, so they sprouted very quickly.

The villagers were overjoyed and if the weather was too dry, they would go to the river to fetch water for watering. In short, they took good care of the plants, even more attentively than they did their crops!

After all, this was the first time for the village to grow ginseng. Xia Juanjuan grew it in a private room, so she didn't have any experience.

She thought about it and introduced Yang Qiushi to Secretary Zhao.

Yang Qiushi was born into a family of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners. In addition to running large pharmacies across the country, his family was also a well-known herbal medicine merchant in the past. Moreover, his family also has large tracts of land and forests for growing various herbs.

Yang Qiushi has been influenced by this since he was a child. He is an expert in everything from planting to harvesting, identification, processing, and even the final diagnosis and prescription of medicinal materials.

Secretary Zhao was not a pedantic, ignorant, or blind follower, so he did not dare to be too blatant on the surface, but he still secretly asked Yang Qiushi for help. Of course, he would not let anyone help him for nothing, and Secretary Zhao promised that he would at least give the people in the cowshed more work points and food in the future.

Yang Qiushi did not refuse and agreed.

Seeing this, Xia Juanjuan felt relieved and no longer paid much attention to growing ginseng.

Anyway, in two years at the shortest, three to five years at the longest, or even six years, ginseng can be harvested and sold. Ginseng on the black market is a life-saving medicine and is sold at a very high price. Selling one or two ginsengs can earn more money than selling hundreds of kilograms of grain.

She is still busy tending to her own vegetable garden. This year she planted similar varieties of tomatoes, cucumbers, lettuce, beans, green peppers, lettuce, etc.

Anyway, vegetables and fruits are most abundant in spring and summer, and children also need to supplement vitamins, which must not be interrupted.

In addition, you can also pickle sauerkraut, make chili sauce, dry beans, dried pickles, etc. to eat in winter.

Every day is busy.

Li Zhan sent a telegram back saying that the Fu family wanted her to take the children to Beijing to live for a while, but Xia Juanjuan refused on the grounds that the farm was busy with spring plowing.

Not to mention that she was not familiar with the Fu family after all, even if she was familiar with them, she would not go if Fu Qingye was at the Fu family!

The incident of Liu Lan taking away the triplets has made her reflect deeply and she is still afraid of it.

Fu Qingye could only be more vicious than Liu Lan, otherwise, he would not have framed Shen Wanxue before returning to the city two years ago!

She must be crazy to run to the Fu family and put her children in danger!

Li Zhan read his reply and replied to Fu Nanzheng without saying much.

Lizhan was still trying to think of a way to transfer Rong Zhenbang back to the countryside near Beijing.

Even if I can't be with Shen Wanxue, we can go to the commune where Qingshui Village is located. At least, if we are near Beijing City, life will be much better!

Li Zhan had a comrade who was assigned to a department in charge of this after he retired from the army, so he secretly asked about it. Of course, he didn't tell the truth, but said that a relative in the village asked him to help him ask.

The comrade replied that it was not impossible to do it, but he still advised him to be cautious and not to be too enthusiastic and to not stand out too much for someone who had nothing to do with him. Moreover, he should submit the application himself so that they could handle it impartially.

Li Zhan nodded and wrote a letter back, asking Xia Juanjuan and Shen Wanxue to talk about it.

However, before Xia Juanjuan received the letter, Shen Wanxue had already taken the initiative to submit an application.

However, she did not apply to transfer Rong Zhenbang back, but to transfer herself to where Rong Zhenbang was.

After hearing this, Xia Juanjuan felt very uncomfortable and asked secretly, "Mom, why didn't you discuss it with us before making the decision? Li Zhan just wrote to me and said that he was thinking of a way to transfer Dad here to be with you..."

After hearing this, Shen Wanxue quickly grabbed Xia Juanjuan and said, "Juanjuan, this is what I'm afraid of. Write back to Lizhan and tell him not to do anything stupid. His father and I have already let him down. If I hurt him again because of this, I will hate myself to death..."

"But..." Xia Juanjuan couldn't bear it.

The Shen Wanxue in front of him was only fifty years old, her hair was already gray, and although she still exuded the temperament of a lady from a noble family in her old days, she was visibly older and more haggard.

It would be heartbreaking to let her go to the west where the wind and sand are raging and the conditions are harsh.

"It's nothing... Zhenbang has been there for several years. I've actually always wanted to apply to accompany him there, but I just couldn't let go of the thought of finding my son, so I've been delaying it. Now, my son has been found, and he's living a good life. He married such a good wife like you, and gave birth to three such lovely sons. I As a mother... I am so relieved! With you by his side, I am not afraid of him suffering... Although I also want to be happy as a family, but the situation does not allow it, I have to settle for the next best thing. You and the children will stay with him, and I will stay with Zhenbang... I believe that one day, our family can always be reunited!

After hearing these words, Xia Juanjuan felt sad.

But even if she had her own personal space, this is the pain of a generation, and it is not something she can change alone. She can only sigh.

"Yes. This day will come, and it's definitely not far away! Just like the names you and the master gave to Yanyan, Yeye and Yaoyao, a spark can surely turn into the brightest dawn." Xia Juanjuan said firmly.

There are only four years left until that year. Although it may take several more years to react after that year, by then, we will already be able to see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Xia Juanjuan held Shen Wanxue's hand, smiled with tears in her eyes and said, "However, we still have to talk to Li Zhan about this. Then, let's see if he can come home. If he is rejected, he will leave soon. Before you leave, try to see him again!"

Shen Wanxue couldn't help wiping away her tears and said with a smile, "Oh! If we can meet him in time, that would be great. But don't let him miss work. Also... do you have any photos here... No, forget it. What if someone sees it..."

Xia Juanjuan said softly, "I have. When Lizhan comes back, we will take some family photos. I will think of a way to bring them to you later. It's just... a pity that we can't take photos together as a family now."

"Oh! When the time comes, his father will be here too, so we can take the photo together!" Shen Wanxue said softly.
