On the way, Goudan's face was swollen. Chen Tan was afraid that Qin Wuqiang would hit his head, so he gave him half a pot of spiritual spring water to drink.
Goudan drank with a look of satisfaction and envy. The water in Aunt Tan's pot must have been added with sugar.
After sending him home, Chen Tan went to Wei's house to see Liang Yujin again and made her a bowl of noodle soup with spiritual spring water.
After Liang Yujin finished the noodle soup, she hugged Chen Tan and cried for a long time, "He didn't touch me, Chen Tan, he didn't touch me."
"I know," Chen Tan said softly, hugging her. "If he threatens you, you must tell him and we can solve it together."
Liang Yujin raised her misty eyes with tears in her eyes. She wanted to tell Chen Tan, but she was afraid that Qin Li would find out and go after Qin Wuqiang. If Qin Wuqiang told her about what happened today, Wei Xiao would definitely not let Qin Wuqiang off.
Things will get worse and worse.
Forget it, I still can’t tell you.
"No, it's nothing. Go back. I'll be fine after a good sleep."
Liang Yujin lay back on the bed, looking like he didn't want to talk anymore.
Chen Tan had no choice but to leave and return home. It was almost evening, and she did not tell Qin Qiuniang about what happened today.
I was afraid that she would get angry and go to the Qin family to settle the score.
All her wild vegetables, wood ears and snails were scattered and lost along the way.
I can’t eat snail noodles anymore.
She cooked some vegetable porridge, added some diced bacon, and made five corn cakes.
Qin Li came back tonight. After dinner, he took Chen Tan to the mountains.
This time, the two took a shortcut and arrived in two hours.
The valley seemed to be a replica of a breeding farm, with one hundred chickens, ducks, and geese, thirty pigs, and fifty sheep.
As soon as he saw the variety, Chen Tan's mouth twitched.
They are exactly the same varieties as those in the brigade’s breeding farm, except that they don’t grow as well.
They are really brave.
When she was helping Qin Li cook pig food, she added some spiritual spring water and said, "Brother, once this batch is sold, don't raise more."
Her tone was light, but her expression was extremely serious.
Qin Li looked at him with struggle in his eyes.
From the fifth day of the Lunar New Year to now, more than a month, he has hardly stayed at home. For a wife, this is really unacceptable.
But he really had no choice but to raise these.
"I'm sorry, I..."
"Instead of saying sorry, why not give me an answer?" Chen Tan thought of Liang Yujin. She always felt that the only reason why Qin Wuqiang could threaten her was because of this valley.
"With our current income, we have enough to spend. Even if we want to eat meat every day, it's not difficult. Why take this risk?"
"It's not just for the three of us, but also for Wei Xiao and Song Che. It's mainly for Song Che's side. You know, there are a lot of people over at Chashan..."
Before he could finish, Chen Tan continued, "I know that there are more than 300 people in the tea mountain. They have no income and not enough food. The pigs in the brigade can't be raised, so naturally they don't get to eat. But these problems can be solved."
In the past, she was always obedient and gentle, and she hardly ever refuted Qin Li. But today, her seemingly calm words were actually sharp.
Qin Li was very surprised and shocked. He had no idea that his little girl had such a strong side.
He wanted to know what she thought about the problem that hadn't been solved for so many years.
"How to solve it?"
“Increase food production!”
From ancient times to the present, food has always been the top priority for the country and the people. As long as there is enough food, all problems can be solved.
Qin Li chuckled a few times when he heard this. "The seeds our brigade sows every year are all the best seeds that Secretary Fang gets from the seed station. Compared to other places, the yield is already very high."
“That’s the problem!”
Chen Tan took out the small notebook and pencil he carried with him, sat down in front of the small, broken table in the cave, and wrote down a string of numbers.
"If rice and wheat yields were over 1,000 kilograms, and potato and sweet potato yields were over 5,000 kilograms per mu, wouldn't that solve the problem?"
"Hahaha, silly girl, you are dreaming."
Qin Li rubbed Shen Tan's head with his big palm, and then slowly helped her smooth it out. "One acre of land can produce 500 kilograms of rice. It's a gift from God. Don't think about it. I'll take you to see the rabbits. They have given birth again."
His little girl is getting dumber as she grows up, luckily he is just talking to her here.
If others hear this, they will laugh like crazy.
"Brother, I'm not kidding. I'm serious. As long as we're willing to spend time researching, nothing is impossible."
Chen Tan stood there without moving, with a slightly cold expression on his face.
"Dr. Yao gave me a lot of vegetable seeds last time. I planted them in the backyard, and as you can see, they are growing better than our previous vegetables.
You should know that those seeds come from agricultural bases, right? Since they can research and develop high-quality, high-yield crops, why don't we give it a try? "
Qin Li paused holding the pig feed bucket. Seeing Chen Tan's serious expression, he began to take her words seriously. "You want to conduct an agricultural experiment?"
"Didn't Sister Yuting send me a few medical books? They only contain a few general sentences about hybridization, but there's a very important sentence in there. It says that hybrid seeds can combine the advantages of two different crops. For example, hybrid wheat has the cold resistance of the north and the high productivity of the south. If you interweave them together, their next generation will be both cold-resistant and productive. Planting them in our climate will increase the yield per mu."
Next, Chen Tan provided additional explanation on hybrid farming using crops such as rice, soybeans, sorghum, sweet potatoes and potatoes.
After listening to this, Qin Li's eyes sparkled, and he looked at Chen Tan with not only doting, but also admiration and surprise.
"I will tell Secretary Fang what you said. If he agrees, are you willing to do it?"
His intuition told him that his little girl could accomplish what she said about hybrid seeds.
Chen Tan is not afraid. After all, she has the spiritual spring water as a cheat. As for the future, the country will develop excellent seeds in a few years. Even if she does not use the spiritual spring water to increase production, crops can still have high yields.
"Of course," Chen Tan followed him to the cave where the piglets were raised. "After you finish raising this batch, don't raise any more. After we move over to Chashan, we can build them a pigpen and chicken coop, so they can raise them openly. Wouldn't that be better?"
Qin Li knew that she was strongly opposed because she was worried about him.
If he had no other choice, he wouldn't do this.
But what the girl said was not without reason. Now he was going to get married, and he and the girl would have children in the future. He couldn't let her and the child live in fear all day long.
Besides, there is no telling when the future will end, and he can't take care of all of them forever.
He said solemnly, "Okay, I won't raise it for the second half of the year."
After raising this batch and selling them, they will build a big house for the girl. Next year, they will have puppies at home. He will not go anywhere and will hug her to sleep every night.
The more Qin Li thought about it, the more he became biased, and his eyes became hot again.
He hurriedly fed the little animals and pulled Chen Tan into the cave where their belongings were kept.
He hugged the person onto the wooden box, so that their eyes were level.
The kerosene lamplight was dim and their intertwined shadows were reflected on the huge cave wall, like the most beautiful landscape painting.
