Chapter 217: All Grateful
Yun Xi looked at the two of them in confusion. What did her second brother promise Lu Peixiu? When did these two become so familiar with each other?
But I have some important things to do right now, so I’ll ask my second brother later.
Yun Xi came to the front yard, found Yun Huaiyuan, and told him that she was willing to provide early rice seeds to the villagers for free.
Yun Huaiyuan asked, "Xi girl, no one has ever planted early rice, and I don't know if they are willing to do so."
Yun Xi was not worried about this. "Dad, whether or not to plant this early rice will not affect the next season's sowing time. Even if it doesn't grow, at most it will delay some labor. If it grows, we can harvest one more season of grain."
Before, she had thought about planting the crops first and then talking about it. But the fact is that even if she didn't say anything, the villagers would definitely rush to plant them first.
But on second thought, even if everyone doesn't follow suit and plant rice this time, the rice fields will just be empty there. It's better to follow suit and harvest more food, so that everyone can live a better and more secure life.
Just like their own home, at first they were worried that she wouldn't be able to grow rice, and they said they would try a few acres of land first. But now they plan to plant rice in all the rice fields.
Yun Huaiyuan nodded, "That's right. I'll gather everyone together and tell them now."
Old Man Yun pinched his few remaining beards and followed him out.
"I'll go with you."
This is a good thing, and even this old man like him also went to say a few words.
As soon as the two people left, Yun Yan took people to move the grain seeds to the front yard.
Yun Huaishan couldn't wait to open the bag and check. He scooped a few handfuls from the bag, picked up a few more, crushed them with his thumb and index finger, and finally put them in his mouth to taste.
His brows immediately lit up with joy, and he showed his white teeth.
"Oh, Xi girl, this grain is great, much better than the grain we had before. The grains are big and full, and the taste is delicious. If it weren't for this grain, I would have wanted to cook two bowls right away."
Lu Peixiu on the other side just listened and swallowed his saliva spinelessly.
She looked around and luckily everyone's attention was on the rice seeds, so no one noticed her. She secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
But her little action did not escape Yun Yan's eyes.
Yun Yan thought to himself, this girl is really inferior to his younger sister in every way. Not only is she unruly and unreasonable, but she is also extremely greedy.
Yun Xi heard what Yun Huaishan said and said with a smile, "Uncle, it's okay. We still have the grain. If you want to eat it, just eat it. Let the kitchen staff pound a bag of rice tomorrow."
Yun Huaishan waved his hands hurriedly, "That's impossible. No matter what, we can't eat the grain seeds."
Yun Xi knew how important grain seeds were to farmers, and that they would never eat the grain seeds, so she didn't say much.
I decided to go to the city to buy some rice someday and then exchange it for the rice in the space.
Let’s get back to business.
"Uncle, these rice seeds only need to be soaked for one or two days. Arrange more people to turn the soil manually in these two days and turn the soil out as soon as possible."
Originally, she wanted to soak the seeds in the space well water, which would only take one night at most.
But then she thought again. In the future, this early rice technology will be promoted in the suitable places in the south. Others don't have space water. If they soak it overnight like she did, it will definitely not work.
Yun Huaishan was still checking the food bag by bag, feeling very happy.
"I think so too."
As they were talking, Grandpa Yun and Yun Huaiyuan came back with a group of villagers.
Everyone had actually heard about the Yun family's plan to grow three crops of rice a long time ago. Although they thought it was incredible and didn't quite believe it could be done, with such a little hope, everyone was willing to give it a try.
As soon as Yun Huaiyuan mentioned it, everyone immediately expressed their willingness to try planting crops. Even if the harvest was poor or there was no harvest, it would only be a waste of effort.
If the crops really grow, it would be great if we could harvest a few dozen more kilograms of grain.
When they heard that the rice seeds were provided free of charge by the Yun family, everyone was even more grateful.
Although other families didn't have much land, they still needed seven or eight kilograms of grain seeds per mu. Each family had to provide at least ten or twenty kilograms, or even more. In total, the Yun family had to give out a lot of grain seeds.
The Yun family usually takes good care of everyone, and everyone remembers it.
Today, everyone was grateful but also reluctant to take advantage. Everyone who came to collect grain and seeds carried a basket and brought some things to the door.
Or a few eggs, a piece of pork, or just a few pounds of fine grains. Some families who didn't have much good stuff brought two bundles of firewood as a token of gratitude.
Yun Xi felt very relieved when she saw that the villagers were all grateful.
My help and efforts to everyone have finally paid off.
