I guess Zhang Chunhua came here for this reason!
No, I must talk to my family when I get home, and visit Shuiqing's house more often to build a good relationship.
Zhang Chunhua limped back, supporting her arm.
Only after she had walked away did the men say to Shang Shuiqing, "I think Chunhua can do the work, but she's not very efficient. If we need to hire someone in the future, we'll have to be more careful in our selection."
"Medicinal herbs are precious, so we can't be careless."
Shui Qing immediately realized that they had misunderstood Zhang Chunhua and were trying to build a relationship with her because she was recruiting people for medicinal herbs.
However, she didn't intend to clarify, and went along with it, saying, "Okay, I'll remember."
The men came not to see Hu Wenhua, but to see Fan Jin.
The old village chief and the village elders discussed and decided to use the soil from an abandoned, barren hillside to fill the topsoil in the fertile fields that had been washed away by floods.
The soil on the barren slope is not as fertile as the soil on the top of the paddy fields, but it is much better than the bottom layer of compacted soil. In addition, most people in the village now raise rabbits, resulting in a lot of rabbit droppings.
The manure, when mixed together and composted, can be used to fill the soil and improve the harvest to some extent.
The old village chief is right. The disaster has already happened, and all they can do now is try to minimize the losses.
Moreover, their village is much better off than others; at least they have high-yield potatoes and kudzu roots from the mountains.
This is hope!
Now there's one more thing: selling rabbits.
"The old village chief said that most of the nearby barren hills belong to the villagers, but that barren slope is a bit far away. If your servants get up early tomorrow, they'd better come with us so they don't dig the wrong land."
Fan Jin had no objection, "We'll listen to the old village chief, but we're going out tomorrow, so there should be more people when we come back."
They need to go out and buy a donkey.
The men in the village didn't ask too many questions. After chatting for a while, they got up and went back together.
Their lives are increasingly different now than before.
In the past, it was normal to be so busy during the busy farming season that our feet barely touched the ground. The off-season was generally quite leisurely. But starting last year, it was all mushroom picking across the mountains and fields, then peeling water chestnuts, then raising rabbits and planting potatoes, then helping Old Man Bai deliver potatoes, and in between delivering potatoes, I was also building a fence. Before I could even catch my breath after finishing the fence, I was off selling rabbits…
We're busy during the off-season and even busier during the busy season; the main goal is to ensure that no one is ever idle!
However, it must be said that even though they are so busy they barely have time to breathe, they are very happy and feel more at ease and at ease than ever before.
Otherwise, with the endless impact of the floods, I don't know how we'd go on living.
In the evening, Shuiqing takes stock of her belongings—this is her favorite part.
Counting money and taking stock of household income items.
Last year, those who made money included He Shou Wu (Polygonum multiflorum), calligraphy brushes, and rice wine. The online store also sold mushrooms, chicken head rice, and the biggest project, fish maw, which brought in a lot of money. This year, most of them are just living off their savings.
The rice wine is completely unsellable, and when it will be available again is unknown.
Calligraphy brushes, on the other hand, did not sell. After the flood, there was little demand for high-end luxury items like calligraphy brushes that could not be eaten or drunk, and most students were also frugal, using the old ones they had.
Li Huyu couldn't come to the online store for a while, so the biggest source of income—fish maw—was gone.
The flood not only caused great damage to the fields, but also dealt a devastating blow to the aquatic plants in the lake. The nearly mature chicken rice plants were completely wiped out, along with their stems.
This year's water chestnuts are simply out of the question.
