As soon as the carriage arrived at Shangao Village, the children who saw the carriage became excited and ran after it, laughing.

Seeing how happy they were, Qinghe asked Baiyi to stop the carriage.

"Do you want to get in the car and sit for a while?" Disbelief flashed in the ignorant eyes of several children.

Can I ride in this carriage? I was already very happy just to follow the carriage, but I never thought that I would have the opportunity to ride in a carriage.

After confirming that Sister Qinghe invited them to get on the carriage, they all nodded excitedly.

"Oh, I want to ride in a carriage!"

"Thank you, Sister Qinghe."

"Sister Qinghe, I want to ride in a carriage too."

The children rushed up, excited to get on the bus.

"Let's get off the car and take a walk!" Qing He said to Bai Li Ye, who smiled and said, "Okay."

The two got off the car, and Qinghe said to the children with a smile:

"Come up quickly, one by one, don't be in a hurry."

The children cheered and climbed onto the carriage impatiently. They touched and looked around inside the carriage, their faces full of curiosity and joy.

"The cushions on this carriage are so soft. It's so comfortable to sit on!"

“And there are beautiful embroidered tapestries, so pretty!”

"Oh, there is an incense burner on this car, no wonder I can smell the fragrance."

"Look, there are tea sets and snacks here. They look delicious."

The children looked at things they had never seen before and kept talking about their new discoveries.

Qing He listened to their conversation and said, "You can eat the snacks inside. You're welcome!"

Although the children were very greedy, they still followed the rules and did not eat the food.

"Sister Qinghe, we can't just eat other people's food."

Qing He smiled and said, "I invited you to eat this. I still have a lot. Don't be polite. Your parents won't blame you. Eat it!"

Several children said excitedly: "Thank you, sister."

After saying that, he boldly picked up the snack and started eating.

The carriage moved slowly forward. The children sitting in the carriage were chattering and eating snacks. Their laughter was as clear and sweet as silver bells.

Qinghe and Baili Ye walked side by side beside the carriage. From time to time, they met some villagers on the road. Everyone came forward to chat with them enthusiastically and asked how they were doing recently.

Before they knew it, a group of people had arrived at Qinghe's house.

Shangguan Jing and Qin saw them coming back and happily welcomed them in, and invited the villagers into their home.

After settling everyone down, Qinghe and Baili Ye went to the backyard to meet their grandparents.

In the backyard, the head of the village and Shangguan Chengwei were playing chess. Shang Yajun was watching from the side, smiling from time to time.

The three of them saw Qing He and Bai Li Ye and said with a smile: "He girl, you are back."

Qing He and Bai Li Ye stepped forward and saluted the three people:

"Grandfather, grandmother, village chief, we are back."

Shangguan Chengwei looked at the two of them and asked:

"What have you been doing recently? He just sent a letter back saying that he had to go to the capital for something."

Qinghe looked at his grandfather, took out two bags of tea, and said with a smile:

“Grandfather, after we made the tea we collected here, we shipped it to the capital and opened a teahouse.

We came back just after it opened and became stable.

Here, this is the tea I prepared for you and the village chief. Would you like to try it and see how it tastes?"

The village head declined, "No farmer would drink such expensive tea. Grandpa can just come and drink some when he is free."

Shangguan Chengwei looked at him and said, "Just take what the child gave you. It's not like a grandfather can't drink his granddaughter's tea."

The village head couldn't refuse, so he accepted it with a smile and said, "Then grandpa should try it too." He took it with a laugh.

Shang Yajun took Qinghe's hand and said with a smile:

"We have been discussing when you will come back these past two days. The rice in the fields is almost ripe, and there are fish here. The village head and everyone are wondering what to do with them."

Qinghe smiled and said:

"Grandfather, grandmother, village chief, we came back this time because of rice. We raised fish in the rice fields before. Now we have drained the water from the fields and fished out the fish. In two or three days, we will be able to grow rice.

It is July now, and in another three or four months the temperature will be suitable for rice growth, so I started growing rice seedlings with rice seeds in advance.

So, I plan to plant a second crop of rice in my own rice fields so that I can harvest an extra crop of food this year.

Grandpa Lizheng, if anyone in our village wants to plant a second crop of rice, please tell me and come to me to get the rice seedlings. "

The village head's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said excitedly:

"Oh my, girl, are you telling the truth?

This is a good thing. If we can plant one more season of rice, the harvest of our village will be greatly increased!

He girl, don't worry, everyone in our village will follow your lead in planting.

I think we still have time today, so I will arrange for everyone to go to the ancestral hall and release the water to catch fish today."

Qinghe nodded in agreement:

"Okay, Grandpa Lizheng, please go and hold a meeting for everyone.

Remind everyone to bring fishing nets, buckets, and large basins to catch fish.

After the fish are caught, the fields have to be dried and everyone has to sort out the rice stubble. Once that is done, the second crop of rice will be planted immediately.”

The head of the village heard this and said impatiently, "Okay, okay, I'll make arrangements right now and catch all the fish today."

After saying that, the head of the village took the tea sent by Qinghe home and went to get the gong to call the villagers to a collective meeting.

After the head of the village left, Shangguan Chengwei and Shang Yajun looked at Qinghe and Baili Ye and asked excitedly:

"He girl, can the second crop of rice you mentioned really be planted?"

Qinghe smiled and said:

“Grandfather, theoretically it is possible, as rice is usually planted from April to July.

The temperature during these three months is suitable for rice growth. The temperature in Shangao Village from July to October is about the same as it is now, so I think I can give it a try. ”

Shangguan Chengwei said with relief and joy:

"He girl, if the trial planting is successful, you will have solved the food problem for the people of the world.

Grandfather has a request for you, girl. After the rice planting trial is successful, can you bring these methods and the newly discovered crops in Dasheng to Daxia for planting?

The people of Daxia are also hungry and insecure, and my grandfather also hopes that the people can live a good life."

"Yes, He girl, your grandfather and I have been trying to find a way to ensure that the people have enough food to eat since the truce with Dasheng, but after so many years, it has not been realized.

After we arrived, we found out that Dasheng had several new crops that could fill our stomachs.

Grandfather and grandmother hope that you can also help the people of Daxia."

Qing He listened to the two elders' requests and felt that they were both kings and queens who cared about the people. She looked at them and said with a smile:

"Grandfather, grandmother, it's too polite to ask for help.

Several crops I found are not suitable for planting this year. I originally wanted to wait until this year's harvest is over before telling you about planting them in Daxia.

My granddaughter grew up in a farming family and knows what life is like for farmers. She also hopes that people all over the world can have enough food to eat and can eat meat and buy whatever they want on weekdays. "
