Chapter 330 It’s not easy for farmers
It seems that there are still many benefits to reading more and contacting others. Today, Yu Yang has a much larger vocabulary than before.
The scenes are vividly described, and I believe that writing compositions will not be difficult for him when he reaches senior grade.
Taking her children to school in Jinan, although having more relatives brings more troubles, there are also many benefits. Chen Hong has no regrets at all.
Yu Yang's guitar is now improving very quickly, and his calligraphy is quite satisfactory. According to the teachers, his son not only studies very hard and conscientiously, but is also very talented.
If you can stick to it for a long time, you should be able to achieve quite a bit of success.
Yu Yang's learning progress has far exceeded that of children of the same age, and the teachers are already formulating a new learning plan for him.
The teachers attach great importance to their son's learning, devote themselves to his son's courses, and put in more effort than expected. They treat Yu Yang as a closed disciple to educate and tutor him.
Although they do it out of their original intention of loving talents, they give care regardless of gains and losses.
But as a parent, Chen Hong cannot pretend to be confused and ignore the sincerity of the teachers.
Every week when sending Yu Yang to class, Chen Hong would prepare some small gifts for the two teachers.
Sometimes it’s a bag of various fresh fruits, sometimes it’s a variety of seafood, river fish and shrimp.
They don't look worth much, but they are also valuable. The key is that if you have money, there is nowhere to buy them.
And they are all fresh food, which makes it difficult for teachers to refuse, and they are reluctant to refuse.
Only after eating the fruits, fish and shrimps presented by Chen Hong did they know that there are such delicious fruit ingredients in the world.
The two teachers also spent a lot of money to buy imported fruits and seafood from abroad in the supermarket, but when they went home and ate them, they were very disappointed.
High-end goods that are imported and exported are like selling dog meat over sheep's heads. According to them, it is a commercial method used by foreigners and domestic businessmen to inflate prices.
In fact, they are all deceiving those people who have a mentality of worshiping foreigners. Who makes them stupid and rich? The key is that they love to compare with each other, love to show off and need face?
These so-called imported foreign things are not as delicious and flavorful as our domestic local specialties.
In their view, those who regularly consume imported food have money to burn.
Our country has a vast territory and a complex and diverse climate, which is suitable for the growth and survival of most animals and plants in the world.
How many agricultural and sideline products are there that we don’t have in China? Instead of spending money abroad, it is better to spend it at home, which is more affordable and affordable.
After listening to the two teachers complaining behind each other's back, Chen Hong couldn't help but snicker. She couldn't say, and she didn't dare to say that the ingredients she gave away were not ordinary ingredients produced in China.
They don’t read Tomato’s novels, and they certainly don’t know that there is a popular saying in the Internet literary world: if it is produced in space, it must be a high-quality product!
…………
Chen Hong has been very busy during this time. The village chief called and told her that the autumn harvest had begun at home.
Plowing peanuts, harvesting millet, harvesting soybeans, plucking mung bean seedlings, and digging sweet potatoes. The crops that should be harvested are all taken home one after another when the season comes.
They also plowed the land again. In addition to planting less winter wheat, they also cleared out all the land of Chen Hong's family, built a small shed, and planted a lot of vegetables.
This autumn, the village chief and Uncle Erhu planted another batch of Laiyang pear saplings dug out of Chen Hong's field.
And without her having to worry about it, they pressed a new batch of branches. At the latest, the year after next, Xiaohao and Wang Xin's family would be able to allocate Laiyang pear saplings for planting.
By that time, the Laiyang pear trees owned by the village chief and Uncle Erhu should also be able to bear a small amount of fruit.
Within five years, Laiyang pear will become a relatively stable source of income for them.
Chen Hong didn't have any free time. She found a large agricultural machinery company in Jinan and finally bought a multi-functional threshing machine that satisfied her.
Since the beginning of autumn, Chen Hong went to the Yellow River to catch tortoises in the morning and chatted with fishermen to exchange fishing experiences.
In the afternoon, I went to the villa to tidy up the vegetable plot, and went into the space to cut millet, rice, corn, and soybeans, mung beans, and peanuts.
After harvesting, they lay them out in the ground to dry in the sun. At night, they pull the wires into the space and connect them to the thresher for threshing.
After working for more than ten days, Chen Hong harvested more than [-] kilograms of peanuts, [-] kilograms of soybeans, and more than [-] kilograms of mung beans.
In addition, she harvested more than [-] jins of corn and more than [-] jins of millet. What pleased Chen Hong most was that she harvested more than [-] jins of rice.
This is her first time growing rice in space, and she has not paddy fields yet, but only planted two acres of upland rice.
Judging from the fullness of the upland rice ears, a lot of rice has been harvested, which is relatively a bumper harvest.
She also pinched a few grains, chewed them and tasted them. The rice smell was pretty good, but she didn't know how the cooked rice tasted.
The characteristics of good rice are not only its fragrance, but also its ability to drink water, and its texture and chewy texture after cooking. This is truly good rice.
Chen Hong used the method of breaking things into parts and drove a Mercedes-Benz, hauling only fifty or sixty kilograms of each kind of grain at a time, and traveled to more than a dozen villages on the outskirts of the city.
Finally, in the grain processing workshops in these villages, the grain harvested this time, except for the seeds left out, was processed into cornmeal, rice and millet.
On the night after it was processed into finished products, Chen Hong’s family ate the food grown by themselves.
She steamed a pot of steamed buns mixed with bean and corn flour, cooked a pot of millet and mung bean porridge, boiled six salted duck eggs, and stir-fried Chinese cabbage and stewed pork.
The couple had a pure farm meal, and Yu Yang repeatedly praised the delicious food: "Mom, didn't you say that corn is a coarse grain and is used as feed for pigs and chickens and ducks?
The steamed buns made from cornmeal are very delicious. The more you chew them, the more delicious they become. I can eat two of them instead of dried vegetables. They are much more delicious than white flour steamed buns.
After drinking a bowl of oily millet porridge, I feel very comfortable in my stomach!
Mom, did I eat too much? No wonder people say people who do hard work eat more!
In fact, this is wrong. Corn, millet and whole grains are so fragrant that people can’t help but eat too much. "
Chen Hong chewed the steamed bun slowly, savoring the wonderful flavor produced by the mixture of newly harvested corn and soybeans. The strong bean aroma and the sweet corn aroma blended together, which was indeed very fragrant.
"Son, this is the smell of new grain! When my mother was a child, every year when new grain came out, every household would rush to grind and process the grain.
I just want to take a bite of the taste of new grain. This is not only the smell of new grain, but also represents the harvest of farmers’ hard work for a year.
It is the most difficult thing for farmers. In the past, they had to rely on the weather to make ends meet. They worked hard for a year, plowing the ground, sowing seeds, weeding and pest control, and finally harvesting.
If God gives you a long face, you can get a good harvest. If God turns against you and a year of hard work is wasted, it is not uncommon for you to have a poor harvest!
When my mother was a child, she always dreamed of working in a factory as a worker when she grew up. She would have a guaranteed harvest during droughts and floods, and would receive wages every month.
Unexpectedly, before we grew up, all the workers in the factory would be laid off, and it would be time to apply for exams and sign contracts.
There is no future as a worker, but it is fashionable to make money by doing business. Rural people are in a difficult situation. They need capital but no capital, and they need connections but no means.
Earning some money isn’t enough to go around and give gifts! Living in the city, you can't compete with city dwellers. People who can open up situations are either ruthless or extremely smart.
But there are so many such talents, most of them have become like your grandpa, who are working in the eyes of the city people.
It makes people look down on me, and I have to wait at the end of the bus queue for fear of getting dust on others. "
