Chapter 938 A Dream in the South (19) (Update 66)
Xiao Chengjin listened to Su Ruanruan's story in silence and told her about the situation he had asked.
The Xiao family's situation is even worse than that of the Su family.
The Xiao family was divided. Xiao Chengjin's current father, Xiao Yougen, only got four acres of land, but he had to raise five children, so the family of seven lived a tight life.
Xiao Chengjin has four sisters. The oldest one, Xiao Danniu, is thirteen years old this year. The younger one, Xiao Sanniu, is eleven years old this year. Xiao Siniu and Xiao Siniu are twins and are nine years old this year.
When the Xiao family divided up, Xiao Yougen only got four acres of land because he had no son.
Four years after the separation, Xiao Yougen and Xiao Wangshi had Xiao Chengjin.
Xiao Yougen and Xiao Wangshi had been married for many years and had four daughters before they had this son. Naturally, they loved him as dearly as the apple of their eye.
But the family conditions were there, and they were not the kind of people who would starve their daughter to raise their son. No matter how much they loved their son, they would just give him more thick food, and they and their daughter would drink thinner food.
After knowing the conditions of the two families clearly, Su Runruan and Xiao Chengjin both frowned.
After a while, Su Ruanruan spoke first, "I think we should find a way to solve the problem of obesity."
Hearing Su Ruanruan's words, Xiao Chengjin immediately thought of the fertilizers in Su Ruanruan's treasure space, and hurriedly said seriously, "Ruanruan, you can't take those out. We can't explain it clearly."
"I know." Su Ruanruan certainly understood this, "So is there any other way?"
Xiao Chengjin thought for a long time and finally shook his head.
If there really was another way to make fertilizer, his grandfather Xiao Dashan would have used it long ago. How could he worry about manure all day long?
After sitting in silence for a long time, the two of them had no choice but to give up the idea of making fertilizer.
If we can’t start with grain production, we have to think of other ways.
Su Runrun immersed her mind in the treasure space, rummaged through the things inside, and her eyes suddenly lit up.
There are watermelon seedlings and strawberry seedlings in the treasure space! These are the extra seedlings that Granny Chen planted in the backyard. Because there was no place to plant them, Su Ruanruan simply put them in the treasure space, thinking of using them the next year.
But by the second year, before she had time to take them out, Su Aimin had already grown the seedlings. Not only were there enough, but there were also quite a few left over. She could only secretly put them away in the treasure space again.
After accumulating for several years, she had stored quite a few seedlings of the two types.
Fortunately, the treasure space can preserve freshness, and the things inside will never go bad, otherwise the seedlings would have died long ago.
Su Ruanruan took out two seedlings and showed them to Xiao Chengjin. "Chengjin, look, these are watermelon seedlings and strawberry seedlings. We just need to plant them, and when the watermelons and strawberries grow up, can't we sell them for money? I asked about it at noon. There are very few fruits here, and they are very expensive. With these two, we should be able to improve our lives."
Xiao Chengjin's eyes lit up when he heard this, "But how can we take them all out and get our family to agree to let us plant them?"
Su Ruanruan thought for a moment and put away the two kinds of seedlings. "Let's go hunt a few more pheasants and sell them in the county town tomorrow. Then we can take the opportunity to get the seedlings and say we bought them. By then, the money will be spent, and the family will definitely find a piece of land to plant them."
Xiao Chengjin felt that Su Runrun's idea was a good one, so he agreed.
