Chapter 87: Writing Articles and Fertilizer

When Old Lady Ji came back, Shen Ruoqing was curled up in her room.

Old Mrs. Ji walked in and saw that Shen Ruoqing was writing something.

"My dear, haven't you finished the exam? What are you still writing here?"

Seeing Old Lady Ji coming, Shen Ruoqing stopped writing and said a little embarrassedly: "I'm writing an article. I want to try to submit it to the newspaper."

Mrs. Ji slapped her thigh hard immediately and said, "Why didn't I think of this before? My dear, you should write well and seriously. My dear is so smart, and the article he writes must be very good. If it can be published in the newspaper, it will be a great honor for our family! My dear, just stay in this room and write peacefully. I will tell them not to disturb you."

"Mom, I just have nothing to do, so I want to try writing some articles. People may not appreciate my writing, and my level may not be enough to be published in the newspapers."

"My dear, don't feel burdened. Let's give it a try. My teacher at school once told me that you write good essays. It doesn't matter even if no one likes it. Mom supports you." Old Mrs. Ji didn't want to delay Shen Ruoqing from writing, so she left the room after she finished speaking. She also told the children at home not to disturb Shen Ruoqing, which made Shen Ruoqing feel embarrassed.

Originally, Shen Ruoqing had no idea of ​​submitting his work. However, because of Liu Xinyi's conspiracy, Shen Ruoqing felt that submitting his work would improve his social status. This way, when facing Liu Xinyi, the villagers would not blindly take sides with him.

There were several copies of Dazhong Daily on Shen Ruoqing's desk. This was a relatively well-selling newspaper in the provincial and county towns. Shen Ruoqing read a few articles and found that most of them were about hard work, self-reliance and the like. Shen Ruoqing also decided to start from this aspect and write more content in response to the call, perhaps he would be selected.

It was almost finished, Shen Ruoqing polished it and decided to send it out tomorrow.

She stretched herself and the meal was ready by then.

Wang saw her coming out and couldn't help but said sarcastically, "You are really a young lady. You still need to be treated to meals."

"Second son's wife, you are being naughty again, aren't you? I've told you that my darling is writing articles and doing big things in the house. Who is like you? You are lazy every day and slack off at work, but you are more active than anyone else when it comes to eating." Old Mrs. Ji scolded.

After scolding Wang, Old Lady Ji turned to Shen Ruoqing with a smile on her face and said, "My dear, I specially asked your sister-in-law to make you a bowl of brown sugar dumplings. Come and eat it quickly."

Looking at the food that was only for her, Shen Ruoqing sighed helplessly. She always told Grandma Ji that there was no need to prepare a separate meal for her, but Grandma Ji never listened. This partiality was really extreme.

"Mom, you eat too. I've finished this and can't eat any more. I want to eat something else." Shen Ruoqing handed the half-eaten glutinous rice ball to Grandma Ji.

"Why do you have such a small appetite, kid? You can't even finish this." Old Mrs. Ji took the glutinous rice balls and started eating.

"Oh, are you eating?"

The door to the yard was not closed, so Captain Tang walked straight in.

Captain Tang took a look at the Shen family's meal, which consisted of steamed bread made of cornmeal, a large plate of scrambled eggs, and a few vegetarian dishes. It tasted quite good.

"Third brother, hurry up and get a set of bowls and chopsticks for Captain Tang." said Old Mrs. Ji.

"No, no, I came here to eat. I just want to ask, how do we get the fertilizer that Miss Ruoqing mentioned before?" Shen Ruoqing had mentioned the fertilizer to Captain Tang before. Captain Tang went back and thought about it, and felt that with fertilizer, the output of the land would definitely increase. With more food, farmers' lives would be better.

"Captain Tang, what I said before is that we should make organic fertilizer ourselves. Organic fertilizer is made by composting human and animal feces, weeds, wood ash, straw, etc., and then fermenting them. Another kind is inorganic compound fertilizer. It is made by fermenting organic fertilizers such as feces and peat and adding chemical fertilizers, humic acid and other raw materials." Shen Ruoqing said, "Both of them can evenly supply crops with several nutrients at the same time, give full play to the interaction between nutrients, and achieve effective yield increase. But the effect of inorganic compound fertilizer is better."

Captain Tang said: "I understand what you said, but the question is how can we get inorganic mixed fertilizer?"

"I'll figure out the chemical fertilizer and humic acid. Captain Tang, just go get the organic fertilizer ready."

Shen Ruoqing did not do this on a whim. She knew from chatting with Wang Aihui before that Wang Aihui's lover worked in a fertilizer factory.

"Okay, Ruoqing, I know you are capable, so I'll leave this to you. If you do a good job, the brigade will also reward you. You can't refuse this time." Last time, Shen Ruoqing helped the village to get in touch with the supply and marketing cooperative, and Captain Tang wanted to give Shen Ruoqing some rewards, but Shen Ruoqing refused. If Shen Ruoqing can get fertilizer for the brigade this time, they will have to hold a meeting to praise Shen Ruoqing.

After Captain Tang left, Old Lady Ji looked at Shen Ruoqing with a distressed look on her face: "My dear, why are you trying to show off your abilities? Our family is doing well, but you insist on looking for work? Do you think you can get fertilizer just because you say so? All production teams are keeping a close eye on fertilizer tickets, and there isn't much left."

"Mom, don't you still believe me? If I say I can get it, I can definitely get it." Shen Ruoqing smiled. After selling grain to the country, Shen Ruoqing became much bolder.

"Who do you really think you are? You can get fertilizer just by saying you can. Do you know how popular it is?" Wang couldn't help but speak again, "Every year, the production teams fight to get a little fertilizer. Do you think you can get a permit just because you know a small employee of the fertilizer factory? Sister-in-law, you should face reality! Don't think that you are powerful and everything will be easy just because you have connections with the supply and marketing cooperative. Fertilizer is not something you can get approved just by giving a few gifts."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Although what Wang said made some sense, Old Lady Ji was unhappy when she heard that this was pouring cold water on her beloved child.

"Since Guaibao said so, she will definitely be able to do it. Since the words have been spoken, Guaibao must be included in it. As a sister-in-law, you don't even cheer her up, and you're still mocking her here. Is there any sister-in-law like you? Guaibao took on this important task for the sake of the team and our collective. Do you think everyone is as selfish as you? My Guaibao is very conscious! People like you can't understand!"

"Thank you for your support, mom." Shen Ruoqing smiled sweetly.

"Mom, I'm not selfish, but everyone should always think about their own family first. If this thing is done, it won't do much good to our family. If it fails, we still have to take responsibility. Isn't it a waste of time for our family to do this thing that has no benefit?"

Shen Ruoqing didn't want to explain so much to someone as stupid as Wang. She was helping the brigade in order to make the whole village richer, so that her family wouldn't be so conspicuous. Wang wouldn't understand this.
