Traveling through ancient times, the spy princess had everything going smoothly
Chapter 223 Checking the Crops
Everyone chatted for a while about gossip, mostly ordinary things, except for the matter of the Chu family, which surprised them a little.
After the Chu family was punished, Chu Laosi was not punished because the family was divided, and Chu Qingmei was not punished because she was a married woman.
The affairs of the old Chu family have been made public, and Chu Qingmei's life in her husband's family is becoming increasingly difficult.
After Lin Xiucai and Lin Mingze recovered from their injuries, they continued to study at home. The burden of supporting the Lin family fell on Chu Qingmei and her mother-in-law.
Lin Mingze regretted more and more that he had broken off the engagement with Qinghe out of his own accord. Now Qinghe had not only become a princess but also the princess of Daxia. He had given up on such a powerful figure.
If I had not broken off the engagement, I would have no worries about food and clothing now, and I wouldn't have to listen to my mother and Chu Qingmei quarreling about their livelihood every day at home, which was really annoying.
After the Chu family was exiled, Shen became increasingly dissatisfied with Chu Qingmei. Not only did she abuse Chu Qingmei every day, forcing her to do endless chores, but she also planned to divorce her because of the Chu family's affairs.
So, under Shen's persuasion, Chu Qingmei slipped and fell while washing clothes by the river, and she miscarried.
After Chu Qingmei had a miscarriage, her physical and mental condition became extremely poor.
She lay on the cold bed, her eyes empty and tears flowing silently.
When her mother-in-law, Shen, saw this, not only did she not show any sympathy, but she insulted her even more severely, thinking that she was an unlucky person who brought bad luck to the family.
Although Lin Mingze felt a little guilty towards Chu Qingmei, he was more helpless about the current situation and regretted the past.
Chu Qingmei lay on the sickbed for a long time before her body slowly recovered.
Listening to Shen's abuse every day, her heart was already broken and she had lost hope in life.
I do all kinds of heavy housework numbly every day, like a walking corpse.
What she didn't expect was that this was not the worst thing.
While Mr. Lin and his son were recuperating, the Lin family had little savings. Not long after Chu Qingmei recovered, Shen sold her to a brothel for fifteen taels of silver.
Everyone was sighing when they heard this. They all said that the Lin family was not a good family. Qing He did not comment on this, but could only say that you reap what you sow.
After everyone talked for a while, Qinghe finally remembered to distribute the gifts he brought back from the capital to everyone. There were some small accessories, special snacks, etc. The villagers accepted them with great joy.
At this time, the village head remembered something and said:
"By the way, you must not know how the crops in our village are growing while you're away. After you have a good rest in the next two days, go to the fields and take a look. Our new crops are growing well, and it looks like we will have a high yield this year."
When Qing He heard what the village head said, he smiled and nodded, "Okay, Grandpa Village Head, we also want to see how the crops are growing."
Everyone chatted for a while and then went their separate ways. Qing He and the others went to pack their things. They hadn't been back for a long time, and the tables and chairs at home were covered in dust.
The embroiderers who worked at home came to help clean up the house, and it was cleaned up in an hour. After cleaning up, Baili Ye and Qinghe went up the mountain together, planning to hunt for something to eat.
They walked along the path and soon came to the mountain. The air on the mountain was fresh and the birds were singing happily on the branches, which made people feel happy.
The two walked around the mountain and found some traces of small animals.
Baili Ye picked up the bow and arrow, aimed at a hare, shot an arrow, and the hare fell to the ground.
Qinghe ran over happily, picked up the rabbit, and gave Baili Ye a thumbs up.
Afterwards, the two hunted some pheasants, goats and robes. They had a good harvest and prepared to go down the mountain.
After returning home, everyone was very happy to see so many prey. Qingli and Qingyue insisted on going up the mountain with them next time.
Shangguan Jing's hands and feet were healed now. He said to the two children with a smile: "Next time, Dad will take you to the mountains and teach you how to hunt."
As he spoke, he took the prey from Qinghe and Bailiye's hands, and quickly skinned the prey with his knife.
Qin and her mother-in-law were delighted to see so many prey. These prey could be made into a sumptuous dinner for everyone to enjoy.
In the evening, everyone sat around the dining table and enjoyed a delicious dinner together.
On the second day, Qinghe's family and some villagers went to the fields to check the crops.
I saw that the new crops were lush and full of vitality, and they were growing well just as the village head had said.
The corn has grown to half a person's height. The corn has grown to half a person's height. Its broad leaves are swaying in the breeze, as if showing its vitality to people.
Qinghe walked into the cornfield and gently stroked the corn stalks, feeling their thickness and toughness. She saw that small corn cobs had grown on the corn ears, and her heart was filled with joy.
Shangguan Chengwei stood beside Qinghe and said, "Qinghe, what kind of crop is this? I have never seen such a crop in Daxia."
Qing He smiled and said, “Grandfather, this is corn, a new crop discovered this year, and the potatoes and sweet potatoes over there are all crops that we are trying to plant this year.
The yield of these crops is several times or even dozens of times that of rice. Judging from the current growth trend, we will definitely have a good harvest this year."
Shangguan Chengwei was shocked when he heard this and said excitedly:
"Since it can produce high yields, we can also plant it in the summer, and people's food and clothing problems can be solved."
Shang Yajun also echoed:
"Such a high yield can save people from disaster! Qinghe, can you leave some of these crop seeds for Daxia?"
"It's fine to be a human being. I'll ship some to Daxia next year." Qinghe said happily.
The villagers who were working nearby saw Qinghe and his friends coming and greeted them and thanked them.
"If it weren't for He Yatou, our life would still be difficult this year. With these crops, at least we don't have to starve."
"Yes, these new crops really bring us hope." The villagers also echoed.
Qinghe and his family continued walking along the ridge of the field and saw that other crops were also growing well.
The rice has already headed, and the heavy ears of rice have bent the rice stalks; the bean crops have also blossomed and borne fruit, and clusters of bean pods are hanging from the branches.
The village head said with emotion: "This year's rice is growing much better than last year, thanks to the method of raising fish in rice fields taught by He Yatou."
Shangguan Chengwei asked curiously: "What does it mean to raise fish in rice fields?"
The village head smiled and explained to Shangguan Chengwei the principles and methods of raising fish in rice fields. Shangguan Chengwei felt that he had learned the planting method from his granddaughter.
He was happy and eager to tell the people of Daxia about this method.
"Xiaohe. Your efforts have not been in vain." Baili Ye looked at Qinghe gently and said with appreciation.
"Yes, as long as we keep working hard, we will be able to live a better life." Qinghe said confidently.
