Following her parents' demotion, she married a soldier and became a relative of the chief of th

The person who screamed was Zhang Xiaoyan.

As soon as she turned her head, she noticed Xu Nuannuan watching her from a distance, so she fell forward and leaned into Jiang Ye's arms.

But he underestimated Jiang Ye's quick eyes and hands. He dodged it with just a slight move. Zhang Xiaoyan fell into a pile of thorns. The thorns pierced her skin, and she grimaced in pain. She called for Zhang's mother to come and pull her up.

"Mom, mom, it hurts, please pull me up quickly."

By the time Zhang Xiaoyan was pulled up by her mother, the four members of the Jiang family had already left. They met Xu Nuannuan. Jiang Ting walked up to Xu Nuannuan with a sense of grievance and complained to her on behalf of her eldest brother: "Sister Nuannuan, it's so pitiful, my eldest brother is so pitiful."

"what happened?"

"My eldest brother, he... someone came to my house yesterday and forced a young man from a good family to marry her granddaughter. My eldest brother is so pitiful that he was forced to marry a woman he didn't like."

"Well, then he is indeed quite pitiful."

"That's right, it's so pitiful." You should go and comfort him.

Xu Nuannuan glanced at Jiang Ye, remembering that he was almost forced to marry Zhang Xiaoyan. Was the person he was forced to marry Zhang Xiaoyan?

She walked over and asked Jiang Ye, "Are you okay?"

Jiang Ye felt warm in his heart as he looked at the little girl's concerned expression.

"I'm fine. I won't let them succeed."

"The person Tingting just mentioned forcing you to marry must be Zhang Xiaoyan."

"Yes, her grandfather came to our house yesterday and insisted that I marry her. He even threatened the friendship between our two families. We have decided to break off our relationship with them and will no longer have any contact with them."

"There's really no good in this kind of relationship. It's better to break it off."

The Zhang family mother and daughter looked at the couple's retreating figures with resentment. Zhang Xiaoyan said, "Mom, you saw it, they are together again."

"Once she knows that Jiang Ye has a health problem, she will no longer like Jiang Ye."

The four members of the Jiang family were all from the third team, while Xu Nuannuan was from the first team. When they reached the edge of the first team's field, Mei Xiangcao said to her eldest son, "Nuannuan is a girl and not good at farm work. Ah Ye, you can help out a little. As for your tasks, we will help you complete them."

Jiang Ye just agreed when Xu Nuannuan rejected him: "No, no, Auntie, my workload is not heavy right now, I can finish it by myself. You guys go do your work, don't worry about me."

She received the other person's kindness, but after all, she had a machine-like helper like Tuanzi, and letting Jiang Ye stay would be a waste of manpower.

"This?" Mei Xiangcao didn't like to force Xu Nuannuan: "Okay, come over when we're done. If you haven't finished, we'll help you."

"Okay, thank you, ma'am."

Xu Nuannuan’s job today was to weed in the cornfield. The corn stalks were almost as tall as a person, so it would be less likely for her to be discovered if Tuanzi was working for her.

When she got inside, she put Tuanzi in the room. Tuanzi ran in front, wagging his tail, and she followed slowly behind. After walking for a while, she sat down to rest.

Tuanzi said, "Nuannuan, you can go into the space and take a look. The food inside has been collected."

Xu Nuannuan immediately used her consciousness to enter the space to check and found that the crops that had been planted there before had indeed been harvested, and the seeds that had been planted earlier also showed signs of germination.

Next to the fields, small hills of grain have been piled up, all thanks to Tuanzi.

She looked at the small mountains of grain and asked Tuanzi, "Can you measure the weight of this grain?"

"Yes, wheat yields 1,500 catties per mu, so the total yield of 100 mu is 150,000 catties. Corn yields 2,000 catties per mu, so the total yield of 100 mu is 200,000 catties. 1,500 catties per mu, so the total yield of 100 mu is 150,000 catties. Soybeans..."

Xu Nuannuan was simply stunned by Tuanzi's report. The crops grown in her space not only grew much faster than those outside, but also had a higher yield.

It would be a waste to harvest so much grain at once and just pile it up in space. It seems she needs to take some time to sell the grain at the black market in the county town.

After finishing her morning work, Xu Nuannuan was about to leave early and return to the educated youth site. As soon as she walked out of the field, she met Yu Guobao, who was in a hurry and walked very fast.

He came up to Xu Nuannuan and said, "Xu Zhiqing, I just went to the commune, and the fertilizer our brigade applied for has been approved."

"Oh, then I'll give the money to Uncle Yu now."

She directly took out twenty Great Unity notes from her bag and gave them to Yu Guobao.

Yu Guobao hesitated for a moment before taking it.

I expressed my gratitude to Xu Nuannuan again.

"Thank you so much, Xu Zhiqing."

"Nothing, Uncle Yu. The most important thing is to get the fertilizer back as soon as possible."

"Yes, yes. Tomorrow I'll have Jiang Ye accompany me to the county agricultural station to bring back the fertilizer. Xu Zhiqing, why don't you come too?"

Xu Nuannuan was just about to go to the black market to sell grain, but it seemed inconvenient to follow the team leader. It didn’t matter. She would go and see if Mo Wuwei had finished writing the manuscript. If he had, she would help him mail it out. If not, she would just treat it as a trip to the county town for fun.

"Okay, Uncle Yu, I'll go with you then."

Yu Guobao looked at the two hundred yuan in his hand and was excited from the bottom of his heart. Ever since he was elected as the team leader, he has been full of enthusiasm and wanted to make sure that the members of the Qingpingwan Brigade and the educated youth have enough food to eat.

Seeing a group of sheep from the village not far away, he thought of the animals that could work in the fields. Their team now only had one cow. When the grain production increased, there would definitely be more work, and they would need to buy back the cows and mules that had been sold before.

But now... He looked at the money in his hand, which was only 200 yuan for buying fertilizer, and it was given by someone else.

When I have money in the future, I will buy the animals back.

He and Xu Nuannuan walked towards the village together. When passing by the flock of sheep, Xu Nuannuan found that the sheep dung on the ground was basically not formed, and the sheep's stomachs were flat and they looked listless.

There was a boy about ten years old herding sheep nearby. When he saw Yu Guobao coming, he quickly ran over to him and said, "Uncle Yu, the sheep are all having diarrhea. Can you take a look at what's going on?"

Yu Guobao quickly chased after the sheep's buttocks to observe and asked the boy, "Guadan, what time did you drive the sheep out to graze? Didn't I tell you to wait until the dew is gone before letting the sheep out to graze? Sheep will definitely have diarrhea if they eat dewy grass."

"I waited until the dew dried before driving the sheep out. While they were in the pen, they ate the grass I cut yesterday, but they still had diarrhea."

"Do they eat anything else? Like sweet potato vines?"

"No, I wouldn't let them eat the sweet potato vines. That would destroy the crops. I didn't eat them."

"What's going on?" The captain was so anxious that sweat almost broke out on his forehead. He raised his hand and wiped his already smooth forehead.

Their brigade had a poor grain harvest, but fortunately they still had these twenty sheep and three pigs. Whether they could eat more meat during the New Year depended on whether they could raise these sheep and pigs well. If there was anything wrong with the sheep, not only would they not be able to meet the quota, but they would also not be able to eat mutton.

Xu Nuannuan went to check the feces of the sheep, and observed the grass where the sheep were grazing for a while, and soon understood what was going on.

He said to the anxious Yu Guobao, "Uncle Yu, I know why these sheep have diarrhea. They ate poisonous grass, which caused the diarrhea."

"Poisonous grass?" Yu Baoguo was surprised that Xu Nuannuan knew about farming. He frowned and asked Xu Nuannuan, "There are grasses everywhere here. Which one is poisonous?"

In the past, when the team was grazing sheep, if the sheep had diarrhea, we thought that the sheep had a cold stomach, or had eaten grass covered with dew, or had eaten some plants with too much water and a cool nature, which would cause diarrhea.

But I never thought that sheep would get diarrhea from eating poisonous grass.

Xu Nuannuan pointed to a kind of grass with white flowers on the ground and said, "This grass is called poison hemlock. Sheep will have diarrhea if they eat it."

She asked Guadan, "Did you go somewhere else to herd sheep just now?"

Guadan nodded. "It seems like there's something like this over there too. I saw the sheep got diarrhea from eating the grass over there, so I drove them over here. I didn't expect them to eat the poisonous grass here anyway."

Xu Nuannuan said, "There's more than just this kind of poisonous weeds. There are other poisonous weeds, such as rye and poisonous vegetables. Sheep will suffer from varying degrees of poisoning if they eat these, usually manifesting as diarrhea."

Guadaner scratched his head in confusion.

"It turns out there are so many things sheep can't eat, but I don't even know what those poisonous weeds are."

Yu Guobao slapped his head heavily.

"No wonder the sheep in the team often suffer from diarrhea. Diarrhea affects the growth of sheep, and some even die after prolonged diarrhea. If we had known earlier that sheep cannot eat these grasses, we would have removed them or stopped grazing sheep in areas with these poisonous grasses, and we would have avoided diarrhea."

He looked at Xu Nuannuan and said, "Xu Zhiqing, I didn't expect that you not only know how to make farmyard manure, but also know about animal husbandry. Compared to you, I feel like I've been a farmer for decades in vain."

Xu Nuannuan smiled and said, "I read this in a book."

"Oh, it's good to read a lot. You can understand everything." He immediately told Guadan'er, "From now on, you are not allowed to graze sheep in the place where there is only one person. Or you can pull out the poison hemlock on the ground and let the sheep graze there."

Guadan'er nodded quickly, "I know, I know. But what if the sheep eats other poisonous weeds?"

Xu Nuannuan hadn't seen any other poisonous weeds in this area yet, and it was difficult for her to describe them to Guadan'er. Yu Guobao said, "Xu Zhiqing, this kid can't recognize poisonous weeds. Why don't you follow Guadan'er and herd sheep, and teach him about those poisonous weeds."

Xu Nuannuan agreed without hesitation.

Although she had Tuanzi's help when working in the fields and didn't have to exert much effort, she could only stay in the fields and felt a little bored.

If you go herding sheep, you can drive the flock around and take a stroll to see the scenery in the mountains.

"Okay, Uncle Yu, I'm willing to herd sheep with Guadan'er."

She counted them and found that there were only twenty sheep in total, including big and small ones. It was really easy for two people to herd twenty sheep.

"Well, let's put it this way. You and Guadan'er will herd sheep together this afternoon. I'll mark you down six centimeters every day. Is that okay with you?"

"Of course, Uncle Yu."

She doesn't care about the centimeters, as long as it's easy.

"I'll ask Scratcher to tell you how to get to the sheepfold later. You can find him there this afternoon."

"Okay, Uncle Yu."

After Yu Guobao left, Xu Nuannuan and Guadan chatted for a while. When it was time to get off work, they drove the sheep back to the sheepfold together.

Yu Guobao walked to the land of the fourth team. Qin Yuping was working in the land at that time. She saw Yu Guobao and since there was no one else around, she ran up to Yu Guobao, acting delicate, pitiful and fragile, and winked at him.

"Captain, I'm still feeling a little unwell. Can I leave work early and go back to rest?"

As he spoke, his body became limp and he was about to lean towards Yu Guobao.

Yu Guobao quickly took two steps back: "Qin, Qin Zhiqing, you have to hold on."

Qin Yuping didn't know whether Yu Guobao was too honest and afraid of being seen by others, or he was deliberately hiding from her.

She leaned towards him again, "Captain."

Yu Guobao retreated again, his face cold: "Qin Zhiqing, you'd better be really sick. If you are not sick and are pretending to be sick, I will punish you."

Qin Yuping saw that she could not seduce Yu Guobao, and now she would definitely be punished if she admitted that she was not sick, so she had no choice but to continue pretending.

"Captain, I really feel unwell." This time he stood still.

Yu Guobao was ready to show some mercy to her: "Since you feel uncomfortable, go back and rest. Come back to work when you feel better."

Yu Guobao left after he finished speaking, walking very quickly, as if he was afraid that Qin Yuping would catch up with him again.

Qin Yuping spat at his back: "Like an old monk, humph, I can't seduce you, and I can't seduce your men either."

Anyway, she has beauty and a young body, so she must try her best to gain benefits for herself.

When Xu Nuannuan returned to the educated youth site, she heard the female educated youth discussing something.

"No wonder he's not in a hurry to find a wife even though he's so old. It turns out he's lost his fertility. The woman in the field made it sound so convincing, saying he was injured in the past."

"Keep your voice down. It's not nice for a grown-up girl to talk about this."

"I know, let's just talk about it among ourselves."
