  Chapter 50 Eight Zero Best Sister-in-Law (49)

Of course, those two families feel good about it. Being an apprentice has the convenience of being an apprentice, and a helper has the benefits of a helper. No matter what old father Xu plans, they all want to send their children over. As long as they can stay by his side, they will learn a lot one day. His melon growing technique.

   But Xu's father was not at ease: "Girl, you planted so many at once, what if you can't sell them?"

   "No, the melons we grow, even the Melon Seed Optimization Research Institute thinks they are good, if they are shipped out for sale, there is absolutely no need to worry about no business."

  Xu Yin has absolute trust in the melon seeds produced by the system.

  Therefore, there are two seasons of melons this year, and a lot of melons have been reserved for planting. Even if she couldn't make it back from school in the future, the melon seeds she collected would be enough for her father to grow seedlings.

  The system did not fail her.

A year later, the super-large watermelon grown in the 20 acres of sandy land contracted by the old Xu family was advertised in the newspaper by the Melon Seed Optimization Institute as a case in advance, and was kicked out when it was not on the market. Buyers from all over the world sold out and made a lot of money.

   That's another story.

   Right now, we have only reached the step of contracting.

  In Xujia Village, there are about 20 acres of barren sandy land that no one has planted, and it has been left there.

  Before the field was divided into households, because it was a collective property, what was earned was work points, and some people were arranged to grow some sweet potatoes. The output was not high, but it was better than wasting it there.

  But when it comes to dividing the land, no one cares about this land, and drawing lots is useless. I would rather have the muddy land by the river beach, at least I can grow some taro, water chestnuts, and citrus mushrooms, which can be used as staple food and vegetables. At least take it to the city, it's much better than sweet potatoes.

  The village collective had no choice but to leave it empty.

  Hearing that Xu Yin’s family wanted to contract these sandy lands, the old branch secretary ran over excitedly: “Guo Shun, do you really want to contract those sandy lands?”

   "It's me who wants to contract. It's my daughter. She is addicted to watermelon research. She insists that the sand produces good watermelons. Let me contract it."

   Father Xu said, took the old party secretary's pipe and filled him with some tobacco leaves.

   "This tobacco leaf was brought by my daughter from Tongcheng, you smoke it."

  The old branch secretary took a puff and his eyes lit up: "This tobacco leaf is good, isn't it cheap?"

   "Expensive or not, that's all. They'll be gone after smoking. My daughter won't let me smoke more, saying it hurts my lungs."

  The old branch secretary glanced at him, thinking that the old guy was showing off, thinking he couldn't hear that he was showing off.

   Taking a puff of cigarette contentedly, he turned back to the topic: "So, your family contracted these sandy lands to grow watermelons? It's more than 20 acres, can you grow them?"

   "My daughter asked me to contract it first, and then hire someone if I can't grow it."

   "Then there's no point in contracting now, right? There's still time for contracting in the spring of next year, and it can save half a year's contracting fee."

"That won't work. Yinyin said that if the sandy sweet potatoes are to grow delicious, it's better to add some pond mud. Since there is not much work in the field now, I will pick more pond mud to fertilize. Please ask me, which strong young man can get If you are empty, come and help me pick it up, and I will give you 20 cents for a load of 100 catties of pond mud."

  Twenty cents is a lot, and many young men came to sign up after hearing the news.

  They were responsible for picking mud from the pond, Mr. Xu took two apprentices to fertilize, and Mrs. Xu sat in the shade of a tree wearing a straw hat and was responsible for paying for it.

  Xu Yin exchanged five bags of watermelon seeds in one go, spent all the energy points accumulated some time ago, and harvested 10,000 system brand watermelon seeds and a "Sandy Watermelon Planting Skills Manual".

   Perhaps because the energy points were spent generously, the system mall also posted a free "Mountain Fruit Tree Planting Skills Manual" for a limited time.

  Seeing the mountain fruit trees, Xu Yin couldn't help but think of her uncle's house, so she quickly clicked to buy.

   No money to get rich skills book, is there anything more affordable than this? !

  The pond mud retting method is described in the "Sandy Watermelon Planting Skills Manual" given by the system, and Xu Yin copied it down and explained it to her father one by one.

Unexpectedly, Mr. Xu has a good understanding of farming knowledge, whether it is pond mud retting or nutrient soil preparation, it is very good to operate with two apprentices, and there is no need for Xu Yin to follow and guide him step by step .

  Xu Yin didn't care about the melon fields any more, she took some time to go to her uncle's house, and told him the techniques of planting fruit trees in mountainous areas.

  Uncle Geng was worried that the peach trees in Ziliu Mountain were not growing well. Seeing apricots being planted in other people’s homes, he wanted to uproot the peach trees and replace them with apricot trees.

  After listening to the planting method taught by my niece, I decided not to pull it out, and continued to grow peaches. After all, it cost a lot of money to buy peach tree seedlings, but if there are other ways, who would want to waste money!

   Isn’t it just a matter of spending a little time to fertilize, delete branches, and care for it carefully? Shannon is afraid of wasting time? How will you know if it works if you don’t try it! This trial produced the first ten-thousand-yuan household in Da'ao Village.

  Back from her grandmother's house, Xu Yin continued to make clothes for the villagers to earn pocket money. In addition to the tuition and living expenses for the next semester, she also wanted to save some money to go to the imperial capital to see what supplies could enrich her small private treasury.

   During the busy period, the days passed by the end of August.

  The remaining acre of late-ripening watermelons has matured, and the improvement of the 20 acres of sandy land is also on the right track.

  Xu Yin is about to embark on a study trip and set off for the imperial capital.

  This month, she received two letters from Fu Lingling, one was delivered to her home by the postman, and the other was just recently, when Xu Jianjun passed by the post office and brought it back.

   "Who is this? I live in the county and write to you?"

   "Former classmate."

"That means we know each other? I thought it was a pen pal. Since we know each other, why don't we talk about it at home? It takes at least two or three days to go from the mailbox in the county to the mailbox in our town. It takes several hours to ride a bicycle. Gotta write a letter?"

  Xu Yin glanced at him: What do you know!

  Xu Jianjun rolled his eyes: "Okay! I don't understand, you girls like literature, art and romance."

   "How do you know it's a girl?"

   "You can tell by the handwriting. If this is written by a man, I will be fined for picking up the dung bucket for three days." Xu Jianjun pointed to the envelope.

   "..."

  Xu Yin didn't bother to talk to him.

  But I still have something to trouble him, so I didn't hate him.

   "When you go to the county someday, tell me."

   "What? You want to go too? I'm going tomorrow. A few teachers from the evening school bought five hundred catties of rice at my house, and I have to send it to them."

   "That's right, help me bring something to my classmates."

  Xu Yin prepared several sets of children's clothes for Fu Lingling, the newly harvested rice at home, a set of college entrance examination materials carefully sorted out, and a few collections of prose and poetry bought by her sister-in-law in Tongcheng Bookstore.

  Fu Lingling said good news in the letter: This month the provincial newspaper opened a column asking her to write essays, and the fee for the manuscript was much higher than before.

   In this way, the income is higher than going to work in a factory, and she has free time, so she can take care of the twins at home with peace of mind.

   Also said that her sister-in-law is pregnant, and sometimes looks at the twins with dark eyes. She is worried that her sister-in-law will not like the twins after she has a son, and she has moved out with the twins recently.

  Living in the old house of her grandma, the house is a bit old, but it is quieter, and there are not so many miscellaneous things in the house, which is very suitable for her writing.
