The couple in the last days traveled to ancient times, farming and storing grain and meat in the war

After all, they now feel that their family is the focus of the gods. Maybe one day the gods will get angry again and make them paralyzed like the Li family, or even kill them.

They are really afraid of this.

So, they really became a lot more honest.

Only Li, upon hearing this, became furious and started cursing. Jiang Facai and the others were so anxious that they quickly took the rag and covered her mouth with it.

They were also afraid that Li would bring disaster to them.

Although their mud brick and thatched house was not yet fully built, it was already a quarter of the way there and could not be destroyed. Otherwise, they really didn't know when they would be able to live in the house.

Shen Chunhua and Jiang Eran now have an attitude of not being jealous of Jiang Ningning and not provoking them.

Shen Chunhua knew that she couldn't afford to offend Jiang Ningning and the others now. Jiang Eran was still scared by what Jiang Ningning had done to him, and he still had a trauma and was very afraid of Jiang Ningning.

So Shen Chunhua and Jiang Eran didn't feel anything about Jiang Ningning setting up another school.

Jiang Er'an was still lazy and gluttonous. Even though there was another murderer in his family, he didn't take it too seriously.

Only Shen Chunhua thought a little more.

Moreover, during this period, every time Shen Chunhua washed clothes, she would hear gossips saying that she and Jiang Eran, a single man and a widow, were living under the same roof. Anyway, the meaning of that was to imply that there was something unclear between her and Jiang Eran.

Naturally she was angry.

However, because the gods had been angry before, the gossips did not dare to speak carelessly and were very restrained. They were afraid that they would end up like Li, so no one said it openly.

Even if there is a gossip who can't help but talk about other people's gossip, she will just say half and leave the other half for others to think about, so that she can't scold others on the spot.

I can only sulk myself.

But we can't continue like this, otherwise I don't know how many people will think so.

And indeed, with no one else at home but her and Jiang Er'an, gossip would easily spread...

Thinking of this, Shen Chunhua said to Jiang Er'an: "I will ask Matchmaker Wang to ask your future in-laws if they can let you marry your daughter-in-law in advance."

"Why?" Jiang Eran didn't understand.

"We're going to get married anyway, and besides, haven't you heard the gossip about us out there? They say we're a single man with a widowed wife... Anyway, those rumors won't stop until your wife is married. And we already have a murderer in our family, and your future in-laws haven't come to cancel the engagement. I'm sure they'd be willing to marry the girl off early if we brought it up."

Jiang Er'an snorted, "Not only is she an old maid, she's also an old maid who's been abused. To be able to marry me, I don't know how many lifetimes of good fortune that old maid has accumulated. And they're breaking off the engagement? Even if there's another murderer in our family, they won't break off the engagement."

"It's already been decided. It doesn't matter whether you marry her sooner or later. Just marry her sooner."

"Okay, okay, I'll get married early, I'll get married early. As long as you don't make me work, I can get married tomorrow." Jiang Er'an said impatiently.

Shen Chunhua ignored him and went to find matchmaker Wang.

Logically speaking, a good family would not let their daughter marry before a full year of engagement, for fear that marrying her early would cause a lot of malicious speculation, but the family actually agreed.

Shen Chunhua and Jiang Eran didn't care. They just thought that the girl had been abused and had no reputation left.

Shen Chunhua began to prepare for Jiang Eran's marriage.

……

The results of the provincial examination would take half a month to come out, and before the results came out, the rice in the 20 acres of paddy fields of Jiang Ningning's two families could be harvested.

The people in the surrounding villages were all stunned.

Their paddy fields have just recently begun to produce ears of grain, but other people are in a better situation and can harvest them soon.

If we can harvest so early, then we can plant three crops instead of just two.

Jiang Ningning and her family had clearly leased all the land to Uncle Zhou's family, but people from the surrounding villages couldn't help but rush to help harvest the heavy rice ears that were about to droop to the ground.

Because there were so many people helping, it took less than a day to harvest all 20 acres of rice.

After drying, they weighed the crops and found that the yield per acre was eight or nine times higher than what they had achieved even during bumper harvests in the past.

Even Jiang Ningning's family's paddy fields, which had only been reclaimed for two years and were extremely barren, had such a high yield.

It was obvious to the naked eye that Jiang Ningning's twenty acres of paddy fields were definitely productive, but the people in the surrounding villages did not expect such a high yield. They were even more shocked and their mouths were wide open for a long time.

If they could also grow this kind of rice, would they still be afraid of starving to death?

After all, this kind of harvest is equivalent to the output of several years of planting!

If you plant for one year, then even if you can't grow any food in the next few years, you don't have to worry! The yield is really too high!

Thinking of this, everyone was shocked and asked excitedly:

"Ning girl, can we trade you some of this rice for seeds? If not, we can sell it. We can accept a higher price, and we're willing to buy it. After all, with such a high yield, even if we only grow it for one season, we won't have to worry about starving to death in the next year or two."

Although it seems that a lot of rice has been harvested and can all be used as seeds, it is still far from enough for this world.

Of course, these seeds cannot be scattered for the time being. They must all be concentrated in her hands so that she can produce more seeds.

It will be better utilized in the future.

This was what she and her husband had planned. They were preparing in advance to be on the safe side.

But the words cannot be said so bluntly.

Jiang Ningning smiled and said, "I won't exchange or sell it for now. This is because it has just been cultivated, and we don't know what the characteristics of the offspring of this rice will be. What if this rice is used as seed and it doesn't grow a high yield? What if all the rice that grows is shriveled?"

Wouldn’t that harm everyone?

We must cultivate stable traits and ensure that it can produce consistently high yields before we can grow it for others.

So I planned to plant it one or two more times to make sure."

"Right, right, right." Everyone nodded frantically, as if suddenly awakened. "You're the one with a clear mind. Unlike us, we tend to get confused when we get excited. So it's no wonder we can't figure this out, but you figured it out as soon as you thought about it."

Everyone was really praising him without asking for anything in return, but Jiang Ningning, who was being praised, didn't feel anything at all.

But the four Sun family members were so praised that their faces were about to burst with laughter.

……

Finally it was August 29th, the day when the results of the provincial examination would be announced.

Since Xiao Yan ranked first in the college examination and had a high chance of passing the imperial examination, the four Tian family members wanted to go together to see the results.

There was nothing wrong with going there, so Xiao Yan naturally had no objection.

Jiang Ningning happened to be free too, so she went along.

Xiao Fuhua asked Xiao Ming to go with Xiao Yan and the others, and if he really passed the exam, he would let Xiao Ming come back and report the news immediately. He thought this was a big event for the clan.
