Start as a farmer from an ordinary world

Chapter 46 Back to the Door
Only those who are afraid of hunger know how important it is to fill their stomachs.

Although from the memory he received, Wang Manyin knew that people in this era didn't have enough to eat, but he didn't have a deep understanding of it himself.

After all, in later generations, the word famine has become a legend.

And after he was reborn in this world, he didn't really go hungry for a long time.

So Wang Manyin couldn't really understand Lanhua's thoughts, but just comforted him: "Don't worry, you don't have to worry about food. As long as you have money, you can definitely buy pigeons in the market."

Of course, he didn't intend to tell the woman about having space. This is probably a secret that needs to be hidden for a lifetime, even from the closest people.

In another month or two, the rice planted inside should mature.Judging from the current growth trend, the output will not be too low.

That's right, Wang Manyin no longer has any doubts about whether the space is suitable for the growth of crops.

This can be seen from the earliest wheat planted.Due to the weather outside, the growth cycle of winter wheat has reached more than 200 days.

Planted in fall, they don't mature until late spring and early summer.

Benefiting from the unique environment of the space, Wang Manyin only planted these for more than two months, and now the wheat shoots have turned yellow.

In a few more days at most, the harvest should be ready.

This growth rate seems a bit alarming, but considering that the growth cycle of spring wheat in the outside world is only about [-] days, it feels normal.

Wang Manyin heard from an old man in the village that Guanzi Village used to grow about [-] grains of wheat per ear.If there is a drought and insufficient fertility, the wheat grains will become shriveled and thin like a sparrow's tongue, and they will not be able to be punched out at all.

The wheat produced in space is different. There are about sixty grains in one ear, and the ears are heavy and full of grains.It is almost as good as the two ears of the outside world, and it is already comparable to those fine varieties of later generations.

This discovery made Wang Manyin very excited. There are hundreds of ears of wheat planted in the space. If all of them are mature, hundreds of grains can be left for planting, which is barely enough to grow a piece of land.

If this continues, the family will definitely not be short of food in autumn.

In addition to wheat, there are also crops such as corn and millet. These are also growing gratifyingly, and it is time to harvest.

In short, Wang Manyin never worried about the food problem at all.He is confident that his mother-in-law and aunt will have enough to eat, and every meal will be fine grains and white noodles.

Two packs of biscuits, two catties of fruit candy, and a hare, these are the gifts Wang Manyin prepared for returning home.

Seeing that the snow was falling now, the two of them didn't delay.

Lock the door directly and set off with the rhubarb.

The heavy snow filled the ditches and ridges on the roadside, and many familiar signs could not be seen at all, so the two of them were cautious when walking.

If you are not careful, you will fall into the knee-deep snow nest.

The two villages are separated by a few miles, and it took half an hour to work in a daze.

Not far from the entrance of the village, I saw people watching from the side of the field.

Then came a shout: "Brother-in-law, sister, it's them, they're here!"

The two little adults stumbled and ran wildly in the snow.

"It's Lan Xiang and Shaoping, they're here to welcome us." Lan Hua happily waved to the other side.

Running close, the two little guys were a little timid.

"Why, I haven't seen you for two days, don't you know me and your sister?" Wang Manyin smiled and rubbed the heads of the two children, finally letting them relax.

"Brother-in-law, you still carry a rabbit, did Rhubarb catch it?" Shaoping asked excitedly after seeing clearly what was in his brother-in-law's hand.

"Well, let's eat rabbit meat at noon, hurry up and grab it." Wang Manyin said, stuffing the hare into the little guy's hands.

When they walked to the side of the field, the old father-in-law's family, together with Sun Yuting and his wife, came forward to greet them.

Sun Shaoping took the initiative to report that his brother-in-law brought a hare.

The little guy now worships his brother-in-law to the extreme, and brings them delicious food every time he comes.

"Mom and Dad, Uncle Yuting, Auntie, we're back!" Wang Manyin greeted.

"I'm back, let's go into the house, the kang is already hot." Old man Sun also responded enthusiastically.

"Brother-in-law is here," Sun Shaoan nodded.

After entering the cave, Wang Manyin greeted the old lady of the Sun family, and was ushered into the kang.

A few men chatted and smoked around, while the women made lunch.

In order to welcome the new son-in-law, the Sun family also cut two catties of meat.

But with this hare, noon will naturally be more substantial.

The four men were completely awkward chats, mainly because Sun Yuting was talking.

He thought he had a higher vision than his elder brother, and he was an elder, so he took the initiative to take the responsibility of educating Wang Manyin: "Manyin, don't just think about making money, you must always learn to correct yourself. Especially if you can open a consignment point, This is the trust of the village and the supply and marketing cooperatives. If you don’t study, you might have to go to class. Relatives will be affected..."

Shao'an scratched his head helplessly, and couldn't help interjecting: "Second Dad, this isn't a meeting in the village, so please stop talking."

"Why, isn't what I said reasonable? We are poor and lower-middle peasants. How can we not be active in what the higher ups call for? Man Yin, do you think what Second Dad said is unreasonable?"

For someone like Sun Yuting, Wang Manyin was also quite speechless.

This person belongs to the same category as his predecessor, and he has lived his own life as a coward, but he is particularly keen on the collective affairs of the brigade.

I like to study newspapers when I have nothing to do, and there are many principles.

If it weren't for the old father-in-law's help all the time, it is estimated that even the few children in the family would not be able to support them.

As a result, when his predecessor was sent to a labor camp for selling rat poison, he immediately drew a line with his old father-in-law's family.I usually go to my old father-in-law's house to play the autumn breeze when I have nothing to do, but instead I call "brother" across the road.

Listening to the other party's question, Wang Manyin nodded with restraint: "I heard that my second dad worked in a steel factory when he was young, and he has seen the world, so it is reasonable. But... Second dad, you work in a steel factory Okay, why are you back farming?"

"Oh..." The eloquent Sun Yuting stopped suddenly, holding back his words.

Old man Sun turned his face away, and smoked the dry cigarette vigorously.

With his son-in-law in front of him, he wanted to save some face for his younger brother.

It was Wang Manyin who took the initiative to change the topic: "Dad, Shao'an is not young, and he should marry a wife in two years. Last time I wanted to say, what a beautiful cliff our house is, I didn't think about hitting it a few more times." Kong kiln?"

"Hey, it's easy to dig a kiln. The key is that our family still owes the production team money and food. Shao'an and I have to earn work points, so we don't have much time. Besides, even if we drill two holes in the earth, where will the money for the doors and windows come from? The wood is too expensive .”

"Take your time, there will always be a way. Sooner or later, you have to think about Shao'an. If you are short of money, Lanhua and I can help out a little. We have to work to earn work points on sunny days, and we can dig kilns on rainy days..."

"Yes, Dad, you can also ask Man Yin to help when digging the kiln." Lan Hua, who was lighting the fire, also interjected.

"Let's talk about it in spring." Hearing what the son-in-law said, Sun Yuhou was also a little tempted.

That's right, the eldest woman is done with her mental arithmetic, so it's time for her son to think about it.

Then, everyone discussed about digging kilns.There is nothing taboo about this topic, but it makes the atmosphere more heated.

There were no outsiders at noon, and the whole family gathered around to eat, and the atmosphere was quite lively.

During the time of eating, the snow was heavy again.

When Wang Manyin and Lan Hua returned home in the afternoon, the snow on the ground was already thirty centimeters deep.

When he got home, Wang Manyin was still thinking about catching hares, so he let Lanhua stay at home to rest, and took rhubarb by himself to continue searching in the fields.

In this bad weather, the hares are hiding in the snow nest, and the imprints cannot be seen in the snow.

However, for rhubarb with a keen sense of smell, it is a rare opportunity.

Sure enough, just after finding a few fields, Rhubarb groaned towards a snowdrift.

Wang Manyin moved closer to inspect it carefully, and found a fist-sized hole in the snowdrift, and there was a faint puff of heat around it.
