Chapter 98 More Than Farming

Hang Jingshu never expected that his whole family would oppose his idea.

Wang Silan and Hang Renshan firmly disagreed, and her brother Hang Chenggang remained silent.

What's wrong with Agricultural University?

Isn't it good to raise pigs, chickens, ducks and geese? You can also breed various new species. If you are assigned to the Forestry Bureau, you can go play with sika deer all day long.

Hang Jingshu just thought that he liked growing vegetables and that this career had great development prospects in the future. Besides, the Agricultural University was a key university!

Wang Silan was also confused: "Girl, we finally moved out of the village, but you worked hard to go to college just to learn how to farm? Why bother with all this?"

Hang Jingshu was silent. How could she say some things?

It is said that in the future the North will vigorously develop vegetable greenhouse and vegetable basket projects?

That our seeds will encounter a crisis in the future?

Or is it that, due to certain factors, our soybean supply is being strangled by others?

Hang Jingshu couldn't tell these things, and even if he did, Wang Silan wouldn't believe it.

Who would believe that green vegetables can be grown in the coldest days of winter with temperatures below 20 degrees Celsius?

Now these are nothing more than Arabian Nights.

But Hang Jingshu knew.

She knew that in the future, people in the north would no longer have to eat poor food, and that they would be able to buy a variety of vegetables in winter, and that the prices would not be so high that they could not afford them.

Every ordinary family can afford to eat vegetables in winter.

Today’s strawberries are still fruits that are available in May, and their skin becomes rotten and soft before they even get home. But in the next few decades, Dandong strawberries will be popular.

There are also strawberry bases in Sichuan and Shu regions where a hundred flowers bloom, which are the result of the continuous efforts of future generations.

In her previous life, Hang Jingshu learned all kinds of information on her mobile phone. Now that she finally has a goal, she naturally doesn't want to give up easily.

Hang Jingshu wanted to explain it to his parents: "Mom and Dad, Agricultural University is not just about learning how to farm."

Wang Silan was so angry that she didn't want to listen to what the lady said: "Don't say these useless things, Ni. Farmers have a hard life. What future can learning farming bring?"

When it comes to farming, only old farmers understand the bitter tears.

When working in the production team, people competed for work points. Every household with many children could not get enough food even if they fought for it.

It was not easy to get the production rights assigned to households, but every year working on this small piece of land is so tiring that I can't even straighten my back.

She didn't understand why this university also had an agricultural university. Why did one need to learn farming?

The girl must have been fooled.

Farming requires work all year round.

Plough in spring, weed in summer, harvest in autumn and dry grain in winter.

It’s not enough to pay the public rations, you also have to pay the retention fee!

If I don't work regularly, I will still be in debt just by farming!

The potholes and holes in the mountains make it difficult to plant crops. The tree roots and stones have to be deeply plowed every year, and the crevices between the girls' fingernails are filled with mud all year round.

At first, my face got sunburned and red, then it turned charcoal-black and never came back.

No matter how pretty a young wife is, after working in the fields for two years, she will become a mother!

The girl finally managed to go to school and her skin became fair and tender, but how could she go back to her old age? !

On the surface, Wang Silan seemed to disapprove of her daughter going to Agricultural University, but in fact, she really loved her child.

The children of the Hang family did not have to do much farm work. The Hang couple were in good health, and there was no shortage of food at home during the production team period.

When the property was distributed to each household, the couple worked day and night.

Wang Silan was tall and strong, with broad shoulders and a thick back. She worked happily and skillfully. Before her sisters got married, they were well-known for their capabilities in the neighborhood.

Hang Renshan was also in good health. Not only was he good at doing housework at home, but he was also an expert at repairing reservoirs in his early years.

The couple raised four children willingly.

But she didn't want her daughter to suffer.

Hang Chenggang has a good relationship with his sister, and seeing that his parents are against it, he can only turn around and comfort them.

"Mom and Dad, let your little sister tell you what she thinks first. What if it's a good thing?"

Seeing Wang Silan frown, Hang Chenggang quickly added, "Isn't our current business at home just because my younger sister reads newspapers?

The girl has grown up and has her own ideas. I am not someone who can be easily fooled."

These words hit the nail on the head for Wang Silan. After hearing what her son said, her expression softened a little and she was no longer as excited as before.

Hang Jingshu also quickly struck while the iron was hot and explained to his parents: "Mom and Dad, I have briefly learned about it these two days. The Agricultural University in our province is a key university. If you are lucky, you can be assigned a job in the Forestry Bureau or the Agricultural Bureau. I want to be closer to you two, but I don't want to forget my roots."

Wang Silan had never thought that her daughter would think this way. Her eyes were surprised at first, then slightly reddened, and her voice choked up: "Silly Ni, what's the benefit of being close to your parents? Your parents would rather you fly as far away as possible."

This is really against my will.

Just look at the two girls Wang Silan married and you will know that she was reluctant to let her girls marry far away.

Both of my sisters got married not far away, and they could get there in an hour by bike.

What's more, she had previously thought about introducing herself to the people in her village. She simply didn't want her daughter to marry far away and suffer!

And in this life, Hang Jingshu was unwilling to leave his parents too far.

What's wrong with her just liking being a mommy's girl?

"Mom~" Hang Jingshu held Wang Silan's hand and said coquettishly, "It's because I don't want to be too far away from you. I'm afraid I'll miss home. Besides, Agricultural University is not as simple as learning farming. It's about studying fertilizers and pesticides to help us increase production!"

Wang Silan softened her heart when she heard what the lady said just now. Now after listening to her detailed explanation, she realized that she had misunderstood.

I also thought about how the child didn't repeat her studies because the family had no money. If she hadn't worked hard on her own, her life would probably have been over.

For a moment, Wang Silan felt a strong sense of bitterness in her heart again.

"Ni, it's not that I don't agree with you going to college, I just don't want to see you suffer anymore. I'm not educated, you can go ask your class teacher about these things. If you can really do it, I support you!"

Hang Renshan naturally followed his wife. As long as Wang Silan agreed, he had no objection.

After listening to his sister's words, Hang Chenggang also expressed his support.

Hang Jingshu hugged Wang Silan with emotion: "Mom, you are so kind."

Now that the family business is gradually getting on track, Wang Silan no longer has to work in the fields, and her complexion has become fairer and tenderer.

My hands, which used to crack every winter, have now healed a lot, and life at home is getting better.

After hearing what her daughter said, Wang Silan also came to terms with it.

The daughter of a noble family can learn whatever she wants, because her family will provide for her anyway!

Even if studying agriculture has no future, my parents can still make sure my daughter lives comfortably!

Seeing that everyone at home supported his idea, Hang Jingshu felt relieved and planned to go back and concentrate on reviewing.

There are still more than four months until the college entrance examination!

In the afternoon, while it was still early, Hang Jingshu slowly walked towards the Yan family. When he arrived at the door, he was stopped by Mr. Hou.

"Xiao Hang, oh, I finally see you. Here's your letter!"

"Thank you, Master Hou!"

Although Hang Jingshu was puzzled, he still took the letter. Could it be that the letter written by his third brother was missed by the post office?

But she was excited when she saw the mailing address, because it was from the publishing house she had sent it to before to test the waters!
