Chapter 42 The naughty kid comes to the door

Uncle Aniu took a deep breath and then said, "What did you use in your field? Why do potatoes grow so fast?"

His family obviously planted potatoes on the same day as the Su family, but the potato leaves in the Su family's field were almost full.

As for his family, they are sparse.

Those who didn’t know better thought his family was being lazy.

Food is related to the family's rations. Even if it is just a little more harvest, the family can have more food to eat.

Su Youmin thought a lot, but he didn't expect that Uncle Aniu asked about how to grow potatoes!
  Seeing that Su Youmin didn't speak, Uncle Aniu thought he didn't want to say anything.

"Since you don't want to say it, I won't force you."

Su Youmin came to his senses and quickly told the story about seed mixing.

Uncle Aniu looked shocked, "Is it that simple?"

Su Youmin nodded proudly, "Uncle Aniu, don't think it's so simple. Using plant ash, these potatoes have fewer pests."

Uncle Aniu recalled that insects were rarely seen in the Su family's fields.

"Youmin, how did you come up with this idea?" Uncle Aniu asked in surprise.

"My youngest saw it in a book, so I came to try it. This is my first time doing it," Su Youmin said modestly.

When he heard that it was Su Dahe who came up with it, Uncle A Niu showed a look of understanding.

Su Dahe has been smart since he was a child. If that hadn't happened, he would have been the first official in Taoyuan Village.

The matter of seed dressing is related to the increase in potato production. Uncle Aniu did not dare to delay, so he immediately went to the village chief's house and explained the whole story.

After hearing this, the village chief dragged Uncle Aniu to the Su family's field.

After seeing that Su's potatoes were the best in the village, he immediately came to Su's house.

After talking about potato seed dressing, the village chief assured Su Youmin happily.

"You people, we are waiting to harvest potatoes at the end of June. As long as the yield is higher than before, I will tell the government about it and ask for a reward from you."

This is a good thing that benefits the country and the people. If it really comes true, not only Su Youmin, but even him, the village chief, will be proud of his face.

Su Youmin's eyes widened.

He only thought that the potato harvest would be good and his family would have enough to eat, but he never thought that he would be rewarded by the government.

Su Youmin smiled so hard that he couldn't even see his eyes, "Listen to the village chief."

Several people were talking and talking about farming.

After saying that corn should be planted in a few days, Su Youmin's face became solemn.

"Village Chief, I have something to tell you."

Su Youmin told the story of corn seedlings in a few words, and then took the village chief and Uncle Aniu to the backyard to see the corn seedlings growing.

As expected, the village chief and Uncle Aniu were stunned on the spot.

It took the village chief a while to find his voice, and said tremblingly: "Youmin, are you sure this can really increase corn production?"

Su Youmin nodded heavily, "I'm sure."

He originally planned to tell the village chief about this after the corn was harvested.

When the time comes, the output will be there and the persuasiveness will be high.

But since there is no problem with potato seed dressing, corn seedlings must also be grown.

If you plant it earlier, everyone will have enough to eat.

Hearing the affirmation, the village chief's heart nearly jumped out of his chest with excitement.

Almost instantly, the village chief thought about how the increase in corn production would shock the world.

In an instant, the village chief looked at Su Youmin with a burning look, as if he were looking at a golden pimple.

Thinking that time waits for no one, the village chief immediately called the whole village to the ancestral hall and told them about potato seed mixing and corn seedling raising.

The Su family's potatoes grow in the ground. People in the village have long noticed the difference these days, so no one has any objection to the seed mixing.

Only corn seedlings.

Seeing how each of them lowered their heads and said nothing, the village chief didn't know what they were thinking.

"There is no need to force corn seedlings to be raised. Anyone who wants to raise seedlings can go to Youmin if they don't know."

As soon as these words came out, Zhao Xiaoshan immediately stood up.     "I believe there is an uncle, and my family wants to raise seedlings."

Then Uncle Aniu and several family members also came forward.

In the next few days, people came to Su's house from time to time to seek advice.

Everyone who came was either carrying vegetables or firewood. In short, no one came empty-handed.

Seeing this, Su Youmin also taught them seriously.

Originally, two families were determined not to raise seedlings, but seeing that everyone in the village was raising seedlings, they had no choice but to bite the bullet and come to Su's house.

These two families are none other than Zhang Laosan’s family and Wang Baogen’s family.

Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Liu were sitting on pins and needles. After listening, they left without looking back.

Looking at the backs of the two of them, Mrs. Su spat angrily.

None of them are good!

Two days later.

All the Su family's corn seedlings were transplanted into the ground. After two days of hard work, the Su family was about to take a break when Su Meihua came with her son Qi Xiaobao.

Da Ya cried and threw herself into Su Meihua's arms, shouting: "Mom..."

Su Meihua hugged Da Ya tightly. When she saw that Da Ya's neck was completely healed, she burst into tears with excitement.

After crying for a while, Su Meihua took Daya and Qi Xiaobao and walked forward and knelt down.

"Mom and dad, eldest brother, sister-in-law, second brother and sister-in-law, thank you for taking care of Da Ya."

Mrs. Su quickly helped Su Meihua up and said angrily: "You are already a mother, why do you still kneel down? Besides, Da Ya is my granddaughter, what's wrong with taking care of her for a few days?"

Su Meihua smiled gratefully and pushed Qi Xiaobao forward.

"Xiaobao, call grandpa and grandma quickly."

Qi Xiaobao shouted reluctantly.

Mrs. Su smiled so hard that she narrowed her eyes and reached out to touch the top of Qi Xiaobao's head.

"Xiaobao has grown so big? Let grandma see."

Qi Xiaobao is one year younger than Da Ya. He is the only grandson of the third generation of the Qi family, so he is very precious to this only grandson.

Except for when Su Youmin and Mrs. Su went to Qi's house to see him once when he was just born, everyone else saw him for the first time.

Unexpectedly, the next second, Qi Xiaobao pushed away Mrs. Su's hand.

"Don't touch me!"

Su Meihua's expression changed greatly, "Xiaobao, this is your grandma! Apologize to grandma quickly!"

"She is not my grandmother, I don't have a grandmother, I want to go home!" Qi Xiaobao said and burst into tears.

Seeing Su Meihua raise her hand angrily, Mrs. Su quickly stopped her.

"The child is still young and doesn't recognize people. It will get better in the future."

Although Mrs. Su felt uncomfortable with Qi Xiaobao's words, she thought that Qi Xiaobao had never seen the Su family in these years, so it was normal not to know them.

Su Meihua sighed helplessly and asked Daya to take Qi Xiaobao to play in the yard while everyone else came to the main room.

As soon as she sat down, Mrs. Su asked, "Where is Yonggui?"

The last time Su Meihua came back, Qi Yonggui didn't come with her, and he didn't come again today.

Su Meihua's face was full of bitterness, "Yonggui is sick."

"Pah!" Mrs. Su slammed the table hard, "Every time he comes back, he gets sick. Does he think the door of my Su family is not suitable for him to enter?"

"Mom, the Qi family is so bullying. Why don't the second child and I go and bring Qi Yonggui." Su Dahai stood up and said angrily.

Mrs. Su glared at him angrily, "I brought it this time, but what about next time?"

This Qi family clearly looks down on the Su family!

Su Dahai choked and sat back gloomily.

Su Meihua quickly smoothed things over and explained the purpose of coming.

"Mom, I came here today to take Daya back."
