Early in the morning, Jiang Youshan took his sprouted rice seeds and scattered them on the ground. When the rice in the paddy field sprouted, Jiang Yue's rice seeds also grew to the height of a thumb.

By the time Jiang Youshan's seedlings had grown up, Jiang Yue's seedlings had grown to ten centimeters high, and it was time to start transplanting.

Jiang Yue and Jiang Youshan carried a wooden board to the field and placed it in the mud field with only a shallow layer of water. The two stepped on the board and the rice seedlings stood in neat rows in the field.

It took one day to work on one acre of land.

Jiang Yue, who thought she was strong, was also tired and had backache. Oh my god, farming is more tiring than hunting. Jiang Youshan looked tired, but worried that the drooping seedlings would die.

As soon as I finished inserting, a drizzle began to fall.

It is said that spring rain is as precious as oil, and this is indeed true. Jiang Yue's seedlings, which were "dejected" at the beginning, became energetic overnight, growing one section a day. After half a month, they were one section taller than those seedlings planted by Jiang Youshan.

Jiang Yue's rice fields are neatly arranged in rows, while Jiang Youshan's rice seedlings are still uneven. They look very different.

Jiang Youshan was still worried about this acre of paddy field, and the people in the village also laughed at Jiang Youshan behind his back for letting his daughter do whatever she wanted. But as they worried, Jiang Yue's seedlings grew tall and strong, and could not be blown down by the wind or bent by the rain. Jiang Youshan was no longer worried, and the people in the village no longer laughed at Jiang Youshan secretly. They all paid attention to Jiang Yue's row of rice.

With all this effort, will the harvest be much or little?

There is no answer to this question yet. It is March now, and there are still more than four months before the rice matures.

Jiang Youshan began to cultivate the wasteland.

Jiang Youshan planted beans, sorghum, corn and other crops on his 80 mu of wasteland and 10 mu of low-quality farmland. No matter how much he harvested, he would always get a harvest.

But even if he and Mr. Cai worked hard all day long, it was probably too late to plant all the crops.

Jiang Yue, who had experienced back pain from transplanting rice seedlings before, didn't want to do it herself this time. She went to the village head's house and asked his father to find a lot of laborers. According to the number of acres cultivated, it was just the right amount of income for the villagers who were facing a shortage of food.

Dozens of acres of land were planted in just a few days. Jiang Youshan also thought it through and decided that he had to listen to his eldest daughter. He should use people when necessary and be generous when necessary.

The two wild boars that Cai had taken care of gave birth to sixteen piglets, which were ready for slaughter. Many of them were bought by villagers, leaving only four. Two were kept at home, and two were left for Aunt Cai, waiting for Aunt Cai to come and take them back to raise. Cai, who couldn't sit still, also picked up twenty or so chickens and kept them next to the pigsty.

As expected, Aunt Cai came with her two children after finishing her spring ploughing work. For no other reason, Cai asked someone to bring a message to her, asking her to help arrange a marriage for Wan Fuhua during the New Year.

There was also Wan Fubao's job, which Jiang Yue took over. Wan Fubao was a good guy. Although he looked a little silly, he was quite manly. He was a man of integrity. She said hello to Shopkeeper He and arranged for Wan Fubao to work in the soap workshop.

The scale of the workshop in the villa has doubled again. The people sent by the Xiao family have a firm grasp on the technology, and other low-skilled work is done by nearby villagers.

As for Wan Fuhua's marriage, Cai only let the matchmaker take the lead. Aunt Cai came this time to visit the man's family.

Hearing that Aunt Cai wanted to marry her daughter, the butcher's family sent many matchmakers to find Cai. Cai refused repeatedly, but Jiang Yue finally got her mother to agree.

"My family doesn't like the butcher's family, but Aunt Cai hasn't visited them yet, right? Besides, the butcher's family is much better off than Aunt Cai's. What if Aunt Cai wants to find a wealthy family for my cousin? Let her take a closer look at their family before making a decision."

"Yue'er, that family is not very good."

Others may not know what the butcher's family is up to, but Jiang Youshan knows it very well. The butcher's wife is involved in this matter, because his black boy has not been able to get close to our family, so he is still trying to get close to us in a roundabout way.

"Don't mess with our family, if my aunt foolishly falls in love with that family, we will just not have any contact with them."

Does he really want to marry his daughter off or does he want to marry into his family? Let's see how Aunt Cai chooses her in-laws.

Cai's heart trembled. Is her daughter trying to test Aunt Cai?

She knew her sister well, and she was not the kind of person who would cling to others. But she hadn't seen her for more than ten years, and she couldn't tell if she had changed. It had only been a few months of quiet life, and if something happened at home again...

Jiang Yue understood her mother's thoughts and said, "Just tell Aunt Cai about the situation over there, and don't give any advice. If they fall in love with each other, I will ruin their relationship."

Cai frowned and sighed, "My girl, this is not good. Are we thinking too much?"

Jiang Yue rolled her eyes towards the south wall and let her mother experience it herself.

Over there, Old Man Jiang and Liu came back for Jiang Changshun's marriage. It was only a few days ago that Old Man Jiang came to see Jiang Youshan, but since he was not at home, he left with a stern face without saying a word.

Cai was shocked and immediately understood that her daughter was doing this for the future stability of the family. How many good things did her family have because of her eldest daughter? A brand new house, cattle and horses, chickens, pigs, and a large piece of land.

If Fuhua is attracted by the butcher's family and wants to marry into their family, then she will be regarded as a greedy woman by the butcher's family and my family will not have any more contact with them.

When Aunt Cai arrived, Cai first told her about the butcher's family situation. Aunt Cai quickly shook her head and said, "With such a good family, there is no such thing as a daughter-in-law. Why are you looking for someone from our mountain valley?"

Cai said, "You should go and have a look. They have approached me several times. I thought the child was three years younger than Fuhua, so I rejected them. But they didn't give up and kept coming back."

Aunt Cai also had some thoughts at the moment, thinking to herself: We haven't even met once, maybe he wants to curry favor with my sister's family. She doesn't care how good the family her daughter marries is, as long as the adults in the family are easy to get along with, the children are steady and stable, and can live a smooth life.

Although she asked Cai to help find a marriage for her daughter, she didn't want her daughter to bring trouble to Cai in the future.

Thinking of this, Aunt Cai agreed: "Okay, then I'll go and take a look."

They went to the butcher's house first. The house had five new tiled houses, and the couple were both strong and muscular. They must have no shortage of money. But as soon as the woman started talking, Aunt Cai rejected her idea. She kept talking about her sister's family. This family was too snobbish. It wouldn't work.

The matchmaker took Aunt Cai to look at all the remaining candidates, compared them, and asked Fuhua what she thought, and finally chose a man from a neighboring village. The child was good-looking, and his parents were reasonable and easy to get along with. He was about the same age as Cai Fuhua.

When she came back and told Mrs. Cai and Aunt Cai about it, they both thought it was a good idea. Mrs. Cai breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately Aunt Cai didn't like the black boy from the butcher's family.

Jiang Yue also had a judgment in her mind.

Jiang Yue was ruthless towards her enemies. She would scold other irrelevant people, but as long as it did not interfere with her own business, Jiang Yue would be humane enough for the sake of Cai's face.

Aunt Cai and her family stayed at Jiang Youshan's house for one night. The next morning, Wan Fubao went to work in the soap workshop. Aunt Cai and Wan Fuhua each left with a piglet in their arms, expressing their gratitude.
