Chapter 1736 My Family Has a Son 3

Feng Qingxue was wondering whether to go to Jiang's house for a meal or to the cafeteria when she saw Xibao coming.

"Mom, my sister-in-law asked me to call you home for dinner."

Xibao is already half a head taller than his mother. Feng Qingxue has to raise her eyes when talking to him. It's because the original owner was malnourished when he was young. At the age of eighteen, he was only 1.56 meters tall, short and thin. It was only after Feng Qingxue traveled through time that he worked hard to supplement his nutrition. Before his height was fixed, he grew 6 or 7 centimeters. Now he is only 1.62 meters tall. Fortunately, the size of the clothes he wore was a little larger when he was made.

Xi Bao looked down and saw the envious look on her mother's face and her gesture of comparing heights. After thinking for a moment, she understood and was immediately in tears and laughter. "Mom, you can grow taller if you eat more at noon."

Feng Qingxue patted his arm and said, "Do you think I'm a child? Wouldn't it be a joke if I grow up again at this age?"

Xi Bao put her arm around her shoulders and said, "Even if you don't grow taller, you still have to eat. Mom, let's go. Your eldest son has cooked several dishes himself today. Come and give your opinions."

Feng Qingxue said happily: "My son cooks, so I can eat half a bowl of rice more."

"Only half a bowl? Shouldn't you eat two more bowls of rice?"

"You want to stuff me to death, you evil-minded boy?" Feng Qingxue scolded, but she could not hide the relief on her face. "Other families live frugally and eat a certain amount of food every day. If I eat two more bowls, I will suffer and others will think it is unfair."

Xi Bao whispered: "When will the planned economy be abolished?"

Feng Qingxue was startled, and quickly looked around. When she found that no one was passing by, she gently pinched his arm, "Why are you saying these things? If someone hears you, you will definitely get into big trouble. Why do you think so?"

Xi Bao sighed, "I have carefully observed the past two years and it is harmful to continue. If we do not abolish the planned economy, we cannot promote economic development and we cannot raise the morale of all walks of life. Continuing to engage in collective production will only make most farmers cheat and act cunningly. Even with our strict management, we cannot avoid this situation. The grain output of private plots has always been higher than that of the collective."

"Don't say this to outsiders, don't reveal a single word." But when her son mentioned this, Feng Qingxue also remembered the situation in her hometown and asked, "How is the harvest in our brigade this year? We spread chemical fertilizers."

Xi Bao was cheered up. "Mom, fertilizer is really a good thing. The yield of crops that have been fertilized with fertilizer has almost doubled. While others haven't reacted yet, my uncle organized people to buy fertilizer in his busy schedule. He even asked my godfather to approve the purchase. He is now the second in command of Huaihai City. If fertilizer can be promoted and food production can be increased, it will definitely alleviate the current situation."

Feng Qingxue was also very happy, "That's good, that's good, food is the most important thing."

Although some people say that fertilizers have harmful effects on crops, and the decline in Chinese people's physical fitness is obvious to all, who cares about these things in the face of hunger? Eating a full stomach is the dream of everyone nowadays.

"With my grandfather's permission, I wrote to my old leader and specifically mentioned this matter. My grandfather wrote back to me saying that he was going to bring this up for a meeting and that a fertilizer plant would be built in the future." Xi Bao was beaming with joy. "The benefits are huge. The establishment of a fertilizer plant can create many jobs, and the fertilizer produced can increase grain production. The subsequent benefits are endless."
