When the mother and daughter returned home, dinner was already prepared. Today's staple food was sweet potato porridge. The dishes included cold appetizers and meat, which was fried bacon with dried bamboo shoots. The bacon was the same wild boar meat from last time.
The aroma of dried bamboo shoots plus the aroma of wild boar meat, the Su family is also generous with the use of oil, salt and seasonings when cooking. The taste is so delicious that it is almost soul-stirring.
Wu Guixiang said to Li Xiulian, "Everyone's been tired from the spring plowing lately. The meat at home can be eaten now. Don't be stingy. The weather will soon get hot, and the meat won't keep for too long."
Spring here is always short, and the temperature often rises before we even notice it. Even if the wild boar meat is pickled, it cannot be preserved for long in hot weather. Instead of letting it be spoiled in the end, it is better for the family to eat it first.
"Okay." Li Xiu Lian nodded in agreement.
Zhang Xinlan felt a pang in her heart. In the past, she was in charge of all the kitchen matters. Why did it become her sister-in-law's turn now?
When it was under her care, although Wu Guixiang kept a close eye on her, she always found opportunities to secretly take some food. That little bit of money accumulated over time and could help support her parents' family. Now that even this little bit of benefit is gone, how could Zhang Xinlan feel good?
Others didn't notice her grievances at all, but even if they did, no one would speak up for her.
"By the way, Mom, I'm thinking of taking a day off from work tomorrow and going to the county to see Sisi. After all, she's pregnant, so as her mother-in-law, I should go and see her." Li Xiu Lian thought for a while and suddenly said.
Wu Guixiang nodded and said, "It's indeed time to go."
"Then I'll ask for leave from the captain tomorrow and go."
"Don't bother inviting me, just go directly." Wu Guixiang said, "I'll just tell Youfu." After all, she is Youfu's aunt. Putting aside other partialities, she can still do such a thing as delivering a message.
"good."
Zhang Xinlan felt even more jealous when she heard this. Why could her sister-in-law take leave whenever she wanted? She went back to her parents' home and was still being treated with disdain.
She felt like she had no one to confide in her heart for her pain. Even her own man thought it was her fault. Even if it was her fault, was he still thinking about it? Why was it so difficult for her?
No one knew what Zhang Xinlan was thinking. As everyone discussed the fourth generation of the family, their faces became increasingly cheerful.
Su Qingyun was still pondering his idea in the afternoon, whether the concept of a small seeder was feasible. In fact, if you think about it carefully, the structure and production of a small seeder are not complicated. The key is that it requires specific practical operation, and the current spring plowing is the best time.
She thought about it and decided to ask Ji Yue's opinion first to see what he said.
During the break on the second day, Su Qingyun told Ji Yue about his thoughts.
"I think it's great." Ji Yue thought carefully and said, "Agriculture is the foundation of our country. The seeder can facilitate sowing, improve labor efficiency, and reduce the pressure of farming. It's a very good idea."
"Have you got an idea?"
Ji Yue asked. He knew that Su Qingyun would not bring it up if he didn't have a specific idea.
Sure enough, Su Qingyun's eyes sparkled. She took the paper and pen from the table, flipped to a blank page, and began to draw. "My general idea is this: a small seed drill doesn't need to be very large. It's best if one person can operate it. It saves time and effort, and it's light and easy to operate. Look, let me draw this..."
As Su Qingyun spoke, the outline of the machine appeared in his pen: wheels, armrests, a row of neatly arranged funnels...
She drew a simple small seeder. The advantage of this seeder is that it is easy to operate. You only need to pour the seeds into the hopper of the seeder, and then push the seeder to move in the field. The seeds in the hopper will be evenly scattered in the soil in the trenches. There is a metal chain at the back that can automatically bury the sown soil during the sowing process.
By operating this seeder, a large field can be sown in a short time. It is not only highly efficient, but also has a very low production cost. It does not require oil, gas or electricity, and is economical and practical. Therefore, even after many years, there are still farmers using it.
Now they can forget about any large automatic seeder, it is simply unrealistic. Su Qingyun is very clear-headed and thinks that this simple and practical device can be made.
Ji Yue looked at the picture, listened carefully to her description, and nodded repeatedly, "I think it's very practical. This kind of equipment can greatly reduce the pressure on farmers when sowing. The production cost is very low, and it won't be a burden."
"Then do you think this can be our final work?" Although Su Qingyun really wanted to do this, they were partners after all, so she had to ask Ji Yue's opinion.
"Okay, I think it's good." Ji Yue nodded without hesitation.
"Okay, then let's do this!" Su Qingyun made the final decision.
Since it was decided that the final work would be this small seed drill, the two of them started to work on it. After some discussion, they perfected the design drawings, and then they started the actual production.
Su Qingyun thought for a moment and said, "This seed drill isn't that complicated to make. Why don't we go to Uncle Wang and see if there are any parts we can salvage?"
The first thing she thought of was the scrap recycling station. There was no other way. At this time, the scrap recycling station was the best place to buy things on Taobao.
"Okay." Ji Yue nodded in agreement.
After school, Su Qingyun asked Xia Qiu and made sure that she would not go with them, then he and Ji Yue hurried to the waste recycling station.
Wang Zhihua was a little surprised when he saw the two of them. "You two haven't been here for a long time?"
