After arranging the engagement for Yuan Qihua and Cui Yuting, Yuan Fengshan and his wife, along with Yuan Qiliang, returned home. They were both very busy with work and couldn't stay in City C indefinitely.
With Yuan Qihua's marriage settled, Han Xiuqin could finally relax and focus on her eldest son's marriage.
The Cui family was naturally very happy to have such a good son-in-law. This was not only a happy thing for their daughter, but also because the Cui and Han families would become relatives in the future, and the two families could take care of each other in City C. This was good for both families.
Of course, it would be more advantageous for the Cui family.
Yuan Qihua's marriage to a wealthy man has left many families feeling regretful. It was quite unexpected that such a eligible bachelor would be betrothed to the Cui family so quickly.
The Cui family became the object of envy and jealousy for many families with daughters of marriageable age.
Han Xiao started a new job and was busy for a while at first, leaving early and returning late every day.
However, with Han Yixian there, Han Xiao quickly gained a clear understanding of the relationships and situation in City C, laying a solid foundation for his future work.
With the autumn harvest approaching, Han Yixian's work gradually became busier, so Han Xiao and his father were leaving early and returning late every day.
Fortunately, Wen Jinyu and He Yuhan were there to keep them company and take care of them, so everyone was relieved.
The Du brothers quickly adapted to school life, living at school during the week and visiting their sister's house on weekends for a better meal.
Du Haifeng also needs to be tested by his sister and study medicine under her.
Du Haichao, on the other hand, started learning kung fu from his brother-in-law in preparation for joining the army in the future.
He Yuhan was very happy to see her two younger brothers working hard for their dreams.
He Yuhan received another letter from Yue Tingshan. Yue Tingshan truly lived up to his high IQ; during his time at home, he had self-studied the first year of junior high school, skipped a grade shortly after starting junior high, and was now in the second year.
After learning that Yue Tingshan had skipped a grade, the Du brothers worked even harder. Yue Tingshan had started later than them, but had already surpassed them, which put pressure on the two brothers.
He Yuhan's belly is getting bigger and bigger, and Wen Jinyu is being even more careful every day.
Every day when Han Yixian came home, he would press his ear against his wife's belly and talk to their unborn son, reading to him and doing a good job of prenatal education.
As autumn arrives and the harvest season begins, farmers enter a busy period.
Because of the autumn harvest, schools also had a harvest holiday, and students from the city also had to go and help with the harvest. Han Yixian also specially sent his two younger brothers-in-law home, one to help with some chores at home and also to let his parents-in-law look after the children, and the other to give his uncle and the Du and Liang families some food.
The autumn harvest is very strenuous for farmers, so He Yuhan asked Han Yi to bring some fatty pork to several families to improve their meals and help them cope with the intense work.
Although it is still a drought this year, the situation has improved a lot.
The grain seeds in Laohewan Village are of good quality, thanks to the high-yield varieties provided by He Yuhan. This year, they also received fertilizer support from He Yuhan, and most of the fields were irrigated, so the crops are growing quite well.
Han Yixian deliberately chose to arrive before noon so as not to delay everyone's work time.
When Han Yixian delivered the items to the Liang family, Liang Shouzhen had just finished lunch.
Liang Shouzhen was very happy to see Han Yixian arrive. "Yixian, you're here. Come in and sit down."
Han Yi entered the house first, put the things on the table, and said, "Uncle Liang, Haifeng and the others are on autumn harvest leave, so I'm taking them home to visit. I'm also bringing you some food."
This is pork. The autumn harvest is hard work, so you should improve your meals.
Liang Shouzhen declined, saying, "You don't need to worry about us. You should take it back to your uncle and the others. We have enough to eat and can work in the fields without any problem. Things are much better now than before."
Han Yixian said, "Since you all have some, please don't refuse. It's not much, just so everyone can have a little more to eat during the autumn harvest."
Uncle Liang, the harvest must be pretty good this year, right?
Speaking of the harvest, Liang Shouzhen immediately beamed and said, "This year's harvest will definitely be better than last year's. We used high-yield seeds this year, most of the fields were irrigated, and we also used fertilizer. I think this year's harvest will be no worse than in previous good years."
"Thanks to Yuhan's support! The villagers definitely won't go hungry this year."
Han Yixian was also very happy, "That's great. The disaster is gradually improving, and maybe next year will be even better than this year, and it won't be so dry."
Liang Shouzhen said, "It's been a drought for several years now, let's see how it goes next year."
The fruit trees that Yuhan brought us have all survived, and most of them have even borne fruit, which is a delightful sight.
The villagers were overjoyed to see the fruit trees bearing fruit. To prevent the fruit from being stolen, we've assigned people to watch over the orchard and even kept several dogs.
This year's harvest wasn't much, but next year it's expected to be plentiful. The villagers are all looking forward to it, and they're taking very meticulous care of the fruit trees.
Han Yixian nodded and said, "Uncle Liang, then I'll reserve next year's fruit with you in advance. When the harvest comes, I'll send someone to Laohewan to collect it. I guarantee you a good price."
Upon hearing this, Liang Shouzhen was overjoyed and said, "That's wonderful! Now I won't have to worry about sales. Next year, Laohewan will have another source of income, and everyone will be able to get a bigger share of the money, making life a little easier."
Han Yixian followed Liang Shouzhen to the field to take a look. The corn cobs on the corn plants were ripe. After breaking them off and peeling off the outer skin, they were indeed a size larger than the corn cobs he had seen before.
Not only are the corn cobs bigger, but the kernels are also bigger and plumper.
Liang Shouzhen held up a large corn cob and laughed, "How is it? Isn't it great? The corn cob is big and the kernels are plump. The yield per mu will definitely be high."
This year, not only the corn, but also the potatoes and sweet potatoes are growing very well, large and with long bunches growing on a single vine. The peanuts, cotton, soybeans, red beans, and other crops are also growing well.
Han Yixian then looked at the other crops with Liang Shouzhen and said, "Uncle Liang, after the village finishes harvesting these crops in Laohewan, don't rush to hand them over to the public grain. I'll make arrangements when I get back. I'll have someone collect the grain that your village is preparing to hand over to the public grain and use it as seeds."
The price paid for purchased grain will also be higher than the price paid for government-supplied grain.
Upon hearing this, Liang Shouzhen said, "Alright, I'll keep them all for you. The grain harvested this year is indeed excellent for seed, mainly because it's drought-resistant and high-yielding. It's good grain."
Thanks to Yuhan's help, although food was scarce in Laohewan, no one went hungry. At least every family had food to eat.
Han Yixian said, "That's because you set a good example and managed things well."
If every village becomes like Laohewan in the future, then the realization of people living in peace and contentment won't be far off.
Liang Shouzhen has always done practical things for the villagers, so he has a high reputation. The villagers of Laohewan Village listen to him and are very united. With the help of He Yuhan, Laohewan Village has achieved such a good situation.
