Chapter 43 Doubt
Jiang Defu stayed for a while and then came out.

It’s noisy inside!

According to the customs in the countryside, when a woman dies, the woman's natal family must be notified first.

But Li Laosi’s daughter-in-law Liu’s family is from out of town. She bought half a bag of grain when his father was working outside in the early years. As for where her mother’s family is, after Li Lao’s death, basically no one knows .

Liu's funeral was naturally meant to be simple.

It's just that Mrs. Liu was not yet thirty, so she died so early, and she wouldn't be able to dig out the coffin for a while.

There were some kind-hearted old people in the village who voluntarily gave up their coffins so that Mrs. Liu could use them first.

Li Laosi had no money, and those people didn't talk about money. They only said that they would wait until the funeral was done. If there was no money, they could go to the mountains to cut some good wood and return it to themselves.

Even though Li Laosi was dumbfounded, he still took his children to kneel down and thank people, causing all the soft-hearted people to shed tears.

Giving up coffins is actually not uncommon in rural areas, but most people won't let it go if they don't have a particularly good relationship.

In rural areas, it is also a custom to prepare a coffin before a person dies.

In the final analysis, it is due to the limitations of natural conditions in this era, coupled with today's underdeveloped medical treatment, that people's life span is still relatively short.

Especially the elderly, they left without knowing when.

In Jiang Defu's previous life, he often heard his grandfather nagging him, saying that someone in the village was enjoying the cool in the fields and died in his sleep without suffering much.

In the eyes of my grandfather's generation, dying suddenly and quickly is because of the great virtues accumulated in one's life. They think it is good to die without illness or disaster.

In fact, that kind of death is also a disease. Many elderly people died of cerebral hemorrhage or other emergency diseases. It’s just that the medical conditions in that era were not up to standard, and people didn’t have it.

Health-conscious people simply do not realize that the so-called old people who die of natural old age also die of diseases.

Because of this situation, when many elderly people in rural areas reach the age of 50, if conditions permit, their families will help buy a coffin first, which is referred to as a longevity coffin.

The implication is to prepare a coffin, and one more year of life is a year of gain.

Gradually, coffins have also become longevity coffins, and it is even said that people who have longevity coffins will live longer.

Therefore, it would definitely be considered a great favor if someone could release his coffin.

It's just that the people in the village were so eager to help, but from beginning to end, the Li family, especially the head of the Li family, Li Laoer, never showed up.

Li Lao San and Li Lao Wu's family also disappeared without a trace.

Jiang Defu was very worried about this kind of thing, and he couldn't stand the way the Li family was doing it. Seeing Liu Mulin's panic earlier, he now became more familiar with funeral matters, so he came out.

"Third brother, I haven't seen enough! Why did you come out?"

When Jiang Defu asked his family to go back, Jiang Dehua was still a little unhappy.

"Let's go! There is still a sweet potato field that needs to be plowed. Let's go back and cook early. We have to get up early tomorrow!"

Zhang Guilan pulls Jiang to get flowers.

When the matter became such a fuss, the whole afternoon passed, and by now it was getting dark.

The next day, Jiang Defu had breakfast and went to work in the fields with his family.

It is now the end of July, and the peanuts and corn in the fields are growing very well.

Even though Jiang Defu has never farmed, he found that his corn grew much better than others. Although the corn stalks were not particularly tall, they were all thick. Although the corn kernels had not yet matured, the cobs were larger than those of others. Doubled.It seems that those chemical fertilizers really work!

He applied nitrogen fertilizer during the seedling stage and used potassium fertilizer some time ago. Especially after using potassium fertilizer, the sticks grew more obviously.

The same goes for the peanuts planted. They don't grow as tall as other people's seedlings, but they have thick green and black leaves and many and solid roots rooted in the soil.

"Defu, your crops are really growing better and better. How do you grow them?"

Shi Changsheng walked over with a hoe on his back and said with some envy.

Behind him was Shi Laiwang, who was standing at Jiang Defu's house inspecting the corns with a solemn face.

"Maybe I did a better job fertilizing this year!"

Jiang Defu said with a smile.

In fact, he was a little worried these days, that is, he was worried about what to do if the crops grew too well!
It is natural to worry if the crops do not grow well, because it is related to the problem of having a full stomach. No one does not want the crops to grow well.

But looking too good can easily attract attention.

The peanuts have taken root and have not grown yet, so they cannot be seen.

Some people saw that their peanut trees were relatively small and said that their peanuts were not growing well.

In these days, people still have an old traditional concept when planting crops, that is, if the seedlings grow tall, the results should be good. Therefore, many farmers will apply a lot of farmyard manure when planting crops.

But what they don't know is that in the later stages of crop growth, the taller the seedlings grow, the more nutrients they will compete for, which will affect the growth of the fruits.

Not long ago, Shi Laiwang's family was applying farmyard manure to their corn fields. Jiang Defu wanted to persuade him, but Shi Laiwang said that this was the legacy of his ancestors' many years of farming experience, and that their corn was not growing very vigorously.

It just rained a little a few days ago, and many people's corns fell down. However, their corns are growing strong, and the cobs are getting bigger and bigger now!
"Defu, don't say that your family fertilizes well. Some time ago, when everyone was fertilizing, your family did not fertilize. Originally, your corn plants were too short, but now they are thick and green. The longer they are, the better. You will Tell your second uncle what’s going on!”

Shi Laiwang took a puff of dry cigarette and said leisurely.

He had long seen that this boy was extraordinary, of course in terms of knowledge and force in fighting. As for this kind of crops, with his decades of experience in Shi Lai Wang, he didn't think there was anyone in Shi'ao Village who was more experienced than himself.

Even that old boy Liu Mulin, despite being a small figure in this Shi'ao Village, has been very polite to see him these years. After all, Shi Laiwang is an expert in farming in this village, and ordinary people can't compare to him.

Many families in the village grow crops for their own homes.

Even the arrogant Li family did not dare to attack Shi Daniu directly. In the final analysis, they had some abilities that made those people feel less daring to offend.

Even though his Shi Laiwang family is getting worse and worse in Shi'ao Village, he still has some respect here.

But now it seems that he is going to be defeated by Jiang Defu.

Based on his many years of experience, he can tell that Jiang Defu's corn cob production will exceed his own this year.

"Second uncle, I won't hide it either. When you applied farmyard manure before, I already said that when crops grow to the later stage, it is usually the time when they grow fruits. You only use farmyard manure to help the seedlings grow!
As the seedlings grow taller, the energy available to the fruit becomes smaller, and the cobs of corn naturally become smaller! "

Jiang Defu didn't hide it either.

"Sanwazi, didn't you join the army? Why are you so skilled at farming?"

Shi Laiwang suddenly looked directly at Jiang Defu and asked.
