Travel through time and become the wronged stepmother

In the blink of an eye, the next morning came and Jiang Luorou got up early.

I feel very good when I see the rising sun. Such good weather is perfect for raising sweet potato seedlings.

After Jiang Luorou had breakfast, she went to the bamboo forest by the river, cut down a few bamboos and dragged them home.

I was just about to move a bench and sit in the yard to handle the bamboo, but my hands didn’t even have time to touch the bench! There was a knock on the door outside.

Jiang Luorou had no choice but to stop what she was doing, come to the door and open it.

When he looked outside, he was quite surprised to see that the person coming was Lao Wangtou. He hurriedly went to the house and sat down to ask why he was there.

"It turns out it's Lao Wangtou! He's not at home to hold his grandson, and he came all the way here to find me. He must have something important to say."

When Lao Wangtou heard Jiang Luorou's question, he did not dare to hesitate and replied quickly: "It's not an important matter to go back to my employer.

Last year, about 200 acres of radishes and cabbages were planted in Zhuangzi, but the land was still empty. It was spring time! Let’s ask the owner what he wants to plant?

There is also the fact that the previous owner did not leave any cattle behind, so the young people cannot start farming. Please ask the owner to buy a few more cattle. "

We have 200 acres of land, which can be used to grow sweet potatoes.

Thinking of this, Jiang Luorou said: "I want to plant all 200 acres of land with sweet potatoes. If I want to farm cattle, I will take you to the market tomorrow to pick some."

When Lao Wangtou heard the word sweet potato, he asked tentatively: "Isn't this sweet potato a crop that is rumored to have a yield of more than a thousand kilograms per acre?"

"Yes, that's the one." Jiang Luorou replied affirmatively.

When Lao Wangtou heard this, instead of being happy, he persuaded Jiang Luorou to give up the idea.

Jiang Luorou asked very puzzledly: "Shouldn't you be happy to have this crop that can produce more than a thousand kilograms per acre? Old Wangtou, why did you persuade me not to plant it? What's the reason for this?"

Lao Wangtou sighed softly and said: "I'm not saying that this crop with a thousand kilograms per acre is not good, I wish this was true!

But who has seen this kind of crop that can produce over a thousand kilograms per acre? I'm afraid someone didn't make it up to deceive people.

We tenants are different from those who own land. Only one-tenth of the harvest from each acre of land belongs to us. We really cannot afford to gamble! "

Jiang Luorou understood the cause of the matter and felt that Lao Wangtou's concerns were reasonable.

It seems that he needs to be given a dose of reassurance.

"Old Wangtou, you don't have to worry about the yield. I discovered these sweet potatoes from the mountains. You can't lie to yourself!

If you are really worried, I can make a written statement in public.

If the sweet potato yield does not exceed a thousand kilograms per acre, I am willing to provide you with 150 kilograms of wheat per acre. "

When Lao Wangtou heard this, he stopped persuading her.

"Old Wangtou, you came at the right time, we just have to raise sweet potato seedlings today.

Come and familiarize yourself with the process, so that I don’t have to go to Zhuangzi to demonstrate it again. "

Lao Wang said "Hey" and brought a stool to join Jiang Luorou in splitting bamboo in the courtyard.

In the blink of an eye, it was already noon, and Jiang Luoren and Lao Wangtou had already split the bamboo.

It was lunch time, and it was very inconvenient for those who were short of food and vegetables at home.

He simply took Old Man Wang to Lao Ma's construction site to have lunch together.

The moment the meal arrived, Lao Wangtou looked at the three dishes, one soup and white rice in his hand and couldn't help but sigh, "Is this really for those of us who work as coolies? Landlords and rich people are just like this."

Jiang Luorou looked at Old Wangtou and smiled casually and said: "Where is Old Wangtou? As long as the people in Zhuangzi work hard with me.

I guarantee that you will be able to eat meat every day from now on, okay! Lao Wangtou, eat it quickly! The food will be cold soon. "

Lao Wangtou didn't say anything anymore and just quickly picked up the food in his bowl, not even letting go of the grain of rice on the edge of the rice bowl.

After chatting here for a while after dinner, Jiang Luorou took Lao Wangtou and started the afternoon work.

At this time, Ningtang, who had gone to the county town to do some shopping, also returned to the workshop. He had just had lunch and said hello to Mrs. Zhao and rushed to Jiang Luorou to help plant sweet potatoes.

Jiang Luorou and the other three first selected some large, good-quality sweet potatoes to make seed potatoes.

The collected plant ash is then ground into powder and filtered through a sieve to remove large particles.

After doing all this, the three of them went to the vegetable field and started planting sweet potatoes under Jiang Luorou's command.

First, divide the sweet potatoes into several rows according to different varieties and place them neatly in the field.

Then sprinkle a layer of plant ash evenly and cover the sweet potatoes with soil.

Then pour water carefully, use the prepared bamboo slices and oil paper to build a simple shed on top of the sweet potatoes.

The sweet potato seedlings were now completed, and the three of them went to the yard to fetch water and wash their faces.

Jiang Luorou raised her head and looked at the sky. There was a hint of red clouds in the west.

This place is quite far from the road to Zhuangzi, and the mountains are high and the forests are dense, and wild animals often appear at night.

It's too late for Lao Wangtou to go back. What should I do if there is an accident on the way?

Then he said something to persuade him to stay, "Old Wangtou, you see it's getting dark now, why don't you stay here for one night and come back tomorrow?"

Unexpectedly, Lao Wangtou insisted on leaving and refused to stay no matter what.

Jiang Luorou looked at the sky and said, "That's all. I'm going to Zhuangzi to cultivate sweet potato seedlings tomorrow and the next two days anyway."

It doesn't matter if it's a day early, so I just put all the sweet potatoes and remaining oil paper in the vegetable cellar on the oxcart.

He turned to Ning Tang, who was about to go home, and said, "Fourth brother, I have something to do at Zhuangzi.

I'm afraid I won't be able to come back in the next two days, so I'll ask you and your sister-in-law to take care of the workshop.

When Ningtang heard that there was no one who refused, he quickly shouted to reassure Jiang Luorou and told Jiang Luorou to be careful on the road.

Seeing that it was getting late, Jiang Luorou didn't stop any longer.

After bidding farewell to Ningtang and locking the door, he greeted Lao Wangtou and went to the oxcart.

He raised his whip and lightly whipped the cow's back, shouted "da" and the oxcart drove away.

Facing the sunset, I rushed up to Zhuangzi. I didn't reach Zhuangzi until the moon was bright and the stars were sparse.

Lao Wangtou took the cow rope and tied the cow to the backyard cowshed, fed it with water, and added clean fodder to the cow trough.

Then he came to the front hall and said: "Back to the owner, the cattle have been arranged, but there is no food prepared in the main house.

I also asked my host to appreciate the honor and have a meal in the humble house first. "

It's really a bit deserted to eat alone, so it would be better to go to Lao Wang's house to chat about home affairs.

So he took out some sweet potatoes and followed Lao Wangtou to his home.

As soon as he entered the hospital, he saw a little boy of four or five years old rushing out of the house, holding Lao Wangtou in his lap and shaking.

"Grandpa, did you miss Bo'er when you were out all day? Did you buy something delicious for Bo'er?"

Lao Wangtou said impatiently: "Let's go and play first. I didn't see any guests coming! I don't have any eyesight at all."

The little boy said "Oh" unhappily and went into the house to play with the puppy.

After seeing Po'er entering the house, Lao Wangtou smiled and said, "Hey! My grandson's ignorance makes my boss laugh."
