noon.
At the dinner table.
When Cha Jiuzhang announced that he would give one acre of land to Jiang Tiantian to farm.
"puff……"
Cha Chengye turned his head immediately and spat out a mouthful of rice.
“Cough cough cough…”
He patted his chest and couldn't help but smacked his lips and said, "What are you two planning to do now?"
Building a kiln or a stove at home is just an internal matter behind closed doors.
Good or bad, it’s all at home.
But now, they all have to go to the fields outside to do the work?
Then, let their relatives, friends, and neighbors see them embroidering in the field?
It's not that he wanted to discourage the young couple, but Cha Jiuzhang, this bad boy, has never liked working in the fields since he was a child.
No matter how you look at it, Jiang Tiantian doesn't look like someone who knows how to farm.
Farmers cannot bear to see others destroying the land.
Cha Jizu's cheeks couldn't help but twitch, and he looked at Cha Jiuzhang with contempt.
I knew that this brat was useless.
Let him go and persuade, what will be the result?
He has no stance at all, what a wimp.
Forget it, we are all married.
He couldn't control it anymore.
Let them do whatever they want.
Zuo Mingyan felt that Jiang Tiantian was not the kind of person who would act without purpose.
She asked Jiang Tiantian curiously, "Tiantian, why do you suddenly want to farm?"
They do have land, but no one is cultivating it.
Most of it was distributed free of charge to relatives with larger families to grow, and every year when the harvest came, we would just give them some food.
Their family only kept a few acres of land.
Cha Chengye and Cha Jizu would occasionally take care of the farm and grow some seasonal cucumbers, onions, ginger, garlic and other vegetables.
Jiang Tiantian wanted an acre of land all at once, and she had to go to her relatives to explain the reason and ask for it back.
Jiang Tiantian pursed her lips and said aggrievedly: "I'm not here to cause trouble, I'm here to do an experiment."
Hearing this, Cha Jizu looked up at her and asked with a frown, "What experiment?"
Jiang Tiantian looked up at the people at the table and asked curiously, "Have you ever thought about using the fertile land in Chajia Village to grow some high-quality food, vegetables, fruits, etc., and then sell them to the city?"
Cha Chengye was stunned. "Although we have a lot of land in our village, the crops and vegetables we grow are not only for our own consumption, but also for a lot of livestock. In fact, there is not much left to sell."
Jiang Tiantian smiled mysteriously, "Dad, if I can find better seeds that not only produce higher yields but also have better quality and taste, what do you think? If everyone in our village switches to growing better seeds, will we have extra seeds to sell?"
"Since villagers have to farm every year, why can't they grow something better?"
Cha Chengye now dare not underestimate Jiang Tiantian's ability.
He asked quietly, "Tiantian, can you really find better seeds?"
Jiang Tiantian patted her chest and said, "Of course!"
"Dad, believe me, I can definitely find better seeds, but I can't guarantee whether they are suitable for planting in the village."
"So, I want a piece of land, just to try planting it once. If it goes well, next year, the whole village can switch to planting higher-yield and higher-quality grains and vegetables."
"By then, won't our Chajia Village have one more thing as a business card for external publicity?"
“From now on, whenever outsiders mention our Chajia Village, they will give us a thumbs up and say: Oh, Chajia Village, it is a place with outstanding people and beautiful scenery, blessed by the gods. No matter what is produced, the quality is very good…”
Jiang Tiantian was shaking her head and performing with great devotion.
Successfully made the other people laugh.
Cha Jiuzhang raised his eyebrows, and couldn't help but admire this woman in his heart. She was very good at making up stories.
But obvious.
Cha Chengye was persuaded.
He slapped his thigh and said, "Tiantian, I'll make the decision on this matter. I'll decide it for you."
"After dinner, I will go to my aunt's house and ask for an acre of land."
He was touched and excited, "Tiantian, you are doing this for the people of the village. Believe me, Dad. I will fully support you."
After hearing this, Jiang Tiantian smiled happily, "Dad, you are so nice. It is a blessing for everyone in Chajia Village to have a village chief like you."
"Besides, I only grow it for one season, so even if the results are not good, it won't have much of an impact."
After dinner.
Cha Chengye went in a hurry to discuss the return of the one acre of land.
Jiang Tiantian pestered Cha Jizu and kept asking him what kind of crops and vegetables people in the village generally liked to grow.
What kinds of things can be planted at this time of year?
Food must be eaten bite by bite, and grains and vegetables can only be grown step by step.
Let’s deal with the varieties for these four quarters first.
After some understanding.
Finally, for vegetable varieties, Jiang Tiantian chose white radish, tomatoes, and cucumbers, which are resistant to transportation, as well as cabbage and spinach, which can be grown all year round.
For food, we chose corn, rice and potatoes.
After Jiang Tiantian learned about the planting characteristics of several types of vegetables and grains, she returned to the house, took out a small notebook, and began to plan for her one acre of land.
At this moment, several voices calling her suddenly came from the yard.
"Tiantian, Tiantian...are you home?"
Hearing the voice, Jiang Tiantian hurried out and saw that it was a young sister-in-law from the village.
"It's Sister-in-law Xiaoyun, I'm here."
As soon as Cai Xiaoyun saw Jiang Tiantian, she hurried forward to pull her.
"Don't you want to see how a lamb is born? Come on, our ewe is about to give birth."
"Really? That's great, let's go."
When Jiang Tiantian heard this, her eyes lit up. She took Cai Xiaoyun's hand and ran out the door.
"Hey, slow down, I can't keep up."
On the way, Cai Xiaoyun was pulled and ran wildly, almost unable to keep up with Jiang Tiantian's pace.
This girl is not only very strong, but also runs very fast.
Soon, the two arrived at Cai Xiaoyun's sheep pen.
Jiang Tiantian rushed over excitedly, "I'm coming, I'm coming."
"Is it born?"
Cai Xiaoyun's family was gathered around the sheep pen. Upon hearing what she said, they all turned around and looked at her with a smile.
"Tiantian is here, don't worry, it hasn't started yet."
Cai Xiaoyun's father-in-law, whom Jiang Tiantian calls Uncle Cha, pointed at a white ewe that was alone in the corner of the sheepfold, pacing back and forth anxiously.
"See? That one. It doesn't want to eat grass. It's digging the ground with its front hooves. Its belly is bulging. This is a sign that it's about to give birth."
"Yeah." Jiang Tiantian stared at the sheep intently.
A few minutes later.
"Mee-mee..."
I saw the sheep cry twice, then slowly kneel down on its front legs, and the whole sheep lay on the ground with its hind legs stretched out.
"Pay attention, the baby is coming soon."
Uncle Cha opened the sheep pen, started walking inside, and spread an oilcloth under the ewe.
Jiang Tiantian also followed nervously behind.
The ewe lay on the ground motionless, constantly bleating in a low voice.
Jiang Tiantian stood aside without daring to breathe, looking at its huge belly, as if she could hear the pain from its cry.
She turned around and saw a group of sheep behind her, who continued to nibble on grass and drink water as if nothing had happened.
They were eating and drinking, and seemed to be very involved in the fun.
It seemed as if he was accustomed to what was happening in the corner and didn't pay any attention to it.
Seeing this, Jiang Tiantian asked angrily, "Where is the sheep father? Why isn't he standing by?"
