Chapter 110
Shang Nanchen watched his son snatch his daughter's stroller from him and push it away, and then he took his son from the guard. He always felt that his son seemed to like his sister more.
At night, Shang Nanchen secretly told Jing Xian about this.
Jing Xian thought he was sick: "Your family is full of stinky little eggs, and suddenly a sweet little girl came. Will you still like a brother who is the same age as your sister?"
Shang Nanchen thought for a moment and said, "That seems to be the case."
"Can you please pay more attention to your sons in the future? They are your biological sons. People who don't know would think you picked them up." Jing Xian turned over, with her back facing Shang Nanchen, and covered the two little guys with a quilt.
It's still a little cool at night.
Xiaowu is a boy with a lot of firepower. He would kick the quilt away if he wasn't paying attention. It would be even more amazing if he could roll over. If you aren't paying attention, this guy will run away.
Jing Xian made a very long and tall cloth bag out of sorghum husks and placed it on the edge of the kang to prevent the two children from rolling to the ground at night.
It’s not a big deal if you fall down. Everyone has children who fall down a few times. But it would be troublesome if you hit the back of the head.
Ever since the child learned to crawl, Jing Xian has never been at ease. She would wake up at the slightest movement in the night to see where the child is.
Shang Nanchen said: "How could I not pay attention to the child?"
"What are you concerned about?" Jing Xian lowered her voice, not wanting to wake up the two kids. She turned over and poked Shang Nanchen's mouth, "Just touching your upper and lower lips means you care?"
Shang Nanchen was speechless after being rebuked.
He grabbed her hand, put it to his mouth and kissed it, but after two kisses, things became boring.
"I will change it later." Shang Nanchen admitted his mistake without thinking twice.
Jing Xian thought that he was so busy that he had no time to take care of the children. However, taking care of the children was a big deal. If he didn't take care of them now, it would be difficult to take care of them in the future.
Children have grown up, and if they make mistakes, you can't just hit them with a stick and solve the problem.
"I think that even if all of the children can join the army in the future, at least two of them can. You have been taking them to do exercises for the past few years, and the basics should be almost there. You should teach them the other things they should learn as well."
"I know."
"Oh, by the way, Dad said that Grandpa Damao should be fine now. After the autumn harvest, I plan to take the children to the capital to live for a while. One is to see my dad, and the other is to let the two children see their family."
Jing Xian still can't forget the way Da Mao and Xiao Mao wanted to go to the countryside to find their grandfather at the same time.
These two seemingly calm children actually have such great strength hidden deep inside.
She once cared more about the two boys than Tiedan and Fusheng, and was afraid that the two boys would have problems.
If the old man had not returned at the right time, Jing Xian could only think of a way to delay and wait until Damao came of age before letting him go.
But if she waits until the children grow up, and if the old man can't hold on and passes away, and the two children are not seen, will he hate her for the rest of his life?
Jing Xian thought a lot and fully understood how difficult it was to be a stepmother.
If this were my own son, I would have no psychological pressure no matter what I did.
"How long do you plan to stay there?" Shang Nanchen felt a little uncomfortable even before the person left.
It’s not that he didn’t want Jing Xian to go, but he was used to having Jing Xian by his side, and he felt empty inside when she left.
"How long can you go? At least a month, right?"
"What? A month?"
Shang Nanchen thought half a month was enough, but it turned out that the other party planned to stay for at least a month.
"One month, is that not okay?" Jing Xian asked him.
The word "no" came to my lips, but I just couldn't say it.
Shang Nanchen gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, but try to come back as soon as possible."
"I know. I won't run away. What are you worried about?" Jing Xian noticed that someone was unhappy and whispered a few words in his ear. He then picked up Jing Xian and walked outside.
Jing Xian: “…”
She didn't even know how she came back from beating herself.
Anyway, when I opened my eyes again, I found myself sleeping on the kang wearing clean clothes. The child was gone. I guess he had been taken away by Shang Nanchen.
Jing Xian changed her clothes and went downstairs. She saw a note on the cabinet. The familiar handwriting said that he had taken the child away and asked her to mind her own business. He also told her that breakfast was in the pot.
There is a jar of warm soy milk in the pot. It is placed in a teacup and can be drunk directly after being taken out.
There were also two steamed buns, stuffed with Chinese cabbage, with some chili added to suit Jingxian's taste. It was a little spicy, but not too spicy, so even the kids at home could eat it.
Jingxian usually eats one bun, except in special circumstances.
I ate two this morning and drank a large cup of soy milk before going out.
As the temperature rose, only a few varieties of vegetables were left in the greenhouse, including a lot of cucumbers. Leeks were harvested one after another, and those that could not be eaten in the army canteen were sent to the food factory to be sold.
This is especially true for cucumbers.
The soldiers in the army were fed up with eating thousands of kilograms of cucumbers a day.
Stir-fry cucumber, cold cucumber, stir-fry in different ways.
The soldiers who were eating all had pale faces.
It is sold every day in the grocery factory, and everyone in the military district has had enough of it.
The farm manager approached Jing Xian about this matter, and Jing Xian said, "Can we supply it to the food factories in the city? Ask the manager to contact the people in the city about this matter. If it is feasible, we can build a few more greenhouses. Next year, we will be able to supply vegetables to the entire city."
The farm manager's eyes lit up and he went to handle the matter himself.
If this succeeds, they will have a stable income.
With the money, the lives of the people on the farm will be better. When the time comes, they can buy pig feed to raise pigs and buy more fertilizers. What's the point of not having a good life?
Before, they all had not enough to eat, but now they all have enough to eat.
I can eat meat every day in the future.
Jing Xian just made a suggestion and started studying the seeds again.
When she came back from the field, Shang Nanchen had also arrived home.
The two children were playing with their brothers in the east room. Jing Xian was cooking while she said to Shang Nanchen, "I'm planning to go to Xi City."
"What are you going to Xi City for?" Shang Nanchen frowned when he heard that Jing Xian was leaving.
Jing Xian did not hide it from Shang Nanchen: "My cousin married to Xi City. She told me that there is rice in Xi City. The rice is different from the rice in the south. It is cold-resistant, which is what we can grow here. But the yield is not high. The hybrid rice yield in the south has increased by 20%, and some areas have begun trial planting. This means that we don't have to go hungry in the future. I thought, since the rice in the south can increase yield, can our rice also increase yield?"
"Isn't it good that you are now studying corn and wheat?"
"That's great, but I plan to let Xiaolin be in charge of things here." Jing Xian didn't want to say that she didn't have solid basic skills, and that she was able to successfully cultivate high-quality seeds entirely relying on her supernatural powers.
One cannot cheat all his life.
This is all she can do now. To increase corn production further, she will have to rely on other professional talents.
"If rice production can be increased, the entire north will benefit. Further north, the black soil is so fertile. Would you be willing to leave the land in the north barren?"
The climate in the north is even colder than here.
They all live on the mountains.
Life here is even harder than it is here.
Jing Xian felt sad that such good land was wasted.
Shang Nanchen knew he couldn't stop her, so he let her pass.
Before Jing Xian left, she sent Song Ning away first.
After seeing Song Ning get in the car, she drove straight to Xi City herself.
The person in charge of Xi City received Jing Xian and found that the expert sent by the higher-ups was actually a very young girl. Many people thought that the higher-ups were making a fuss. As Jing Xian asked questions,
"I'll go to the nursery to take a look."
Jing Xian looked at the seedling base in the simple shed and said nothing. After she returned, she handed over the greenhouse technology she had learned to the person in charge.
Person in charge, let them build a simpler seedling base.
Jingxian used her supernatural powers to check all the seeds.
Once a day.
A few days later, when the seedlings grow to eight centimeters, we start transplanting them.
Jingxian followed the entire planting process, and this time she brought a man named Xu Weiliang with her. Xu Weiliang followed Jingxian carefully, and he wrote down everything Jingxian said in his notebook.
When transplanting rice, strictly follow the standards.
Many people were not convinced and shouted: "Where did this expert come from? He knows nothing at all."
"How can we expect a good harvest if we just give orders blindly all day long when we are so far away?"
"Hey! Won't this mean we won't have any food to eat this year?"
"Forget about the corn, sorghum is also fine. At least it can fill your stomach. One acre of land only produces 120 kilograms of this stuff, what can it do? It's not even enough for two days."
…
When those people were performing their tricks, they didn't care whether Jing Xian was there or not. They just wanted Jing Xian to listen on purpose.
Xu Weiliang followed Jing Xian and knew that Jing Xian had real skills, but Jing Xian had never studied rice. It stands to reason that someone who knows how to grow corn may not be good at growing wheat. Not to mention rice.
He didn't really believe in Jing Xian's abilities.
But he had one thing in mind, which was that he never said anything he shouldn't say. He would do whatever Jing Xian asked him to do. He would write down everything Jing Xian said, even if it was useless.
Regardless of what the villagers said, Jing Xian went straight to the person in charge of Xi City and asked them to communicate with the people below.
“We planted them strictly according to the standards.”
That’s all Jing Xian said.
She actually wanted a breeding field, but this would not be possible until she showed her real ability.
Fortunately, there are researchers following along.
Jing Xian felt that the difficulties she encountered were not that difficult.
After she finished her work, she went back to take notes.
Next is the most important thing. This period of seedling growth is very critical. Weeding is necessary, and pest control is the most important.
Jingxian went to several places before she found the right pesticide.
Some people think the cost is too high and grumble about it.
When the seedlings grow the first rice stem, it is also called the tillering stage, and fertilizer is needed at this time.
Fertilizer is expensive, so many people are reluctant to buy it and feel resentful in their hearts.
Jing Xian still ignored other people's opinions and asked them to do what she asked. Jing Xian was watching every step.
She is even busier than when she was in the military area.
The rice seedlings were nurtured by supernatural powers, and Jing Xian did nothing afterwards, just letting the rice grow naturally.
After the drainage period, it’s time to harvest.
Everyone was getting nervous, except Jing Xian who remained calm.
