Farming and reading lady

Chapter 169 She is a double-faced person

With their bellies full of delicious food, everyone started to draw their own cakes and smell the smell. When they were full and had drawn enough cakes, the piles of green and juicy sweet potato seedlings were loaded onto the carriages and were waiting for them.

Everyone was walking around the carriage, their eyes full of hope and eagerness. At this moment, a figure came flying over. It was a young man under Liao Xing. He said to Li Dong, "Manager Tong, the county lady said that we are going to plant seedlings this afternoon. If the guests are willing, it would not be too late to stay and observe for an hour before going back."

Tong Lidong turned to County Magistrate Yan and asked, "What do you think, sir?"

County Magistrate Yan was a little hesitant: "But the seedlings have already been loaded onto the truck. Will they wilt over time?"

This question spoke to the thoughts of everyone present. It would be best if they could observe it, but this seedling was damaged...

The visitor waved his hand and said, "The seedlings are fine. Our county lord said that our seedlings are very strong and will not be affected by their survival rate if left for three or four days."

"That's good, that's good. In this case, it would be best for us to go and learn on the spot." County Magistrate Yan also waved his hand, and a group of people headed towards the fields again.

No matter what is done in Guizong City, three shifts are implemented. There are people working in every period. Don't say that Gu Xixian is harsh on them. It's just that these people are too hardworking. During the busy farming season, they are reluctant to rest for a moment. Even under scorching sun, they don't take a break. There is no other way, Gu Xixian has to force them to combine work and rest in this way.

This time Lidong took them to another place. There were two people, one long and one long, both half-bent over, holding the seedlings in one hand and covering the soil with the other. Their familiar movements showed that they were all good at planting.

The young man who came to report did not leave, but followed them here. He pointed at those people and said, "The county lord said that you can form groups of three and follow one person to watch. If you don't understand something, just ask directly. Our people will answer all your questions. If possible, you can also plant a few plants to see how it feels. In this way, you can go back and teach other people in the village as teachers."

"Good, this is a good idea." County Magistrate Yan clapped his hands and said, "The county lady has really thought very carefully."

Instead of bringing people back, it is better to let them learn how to be thoughtful. After all, bringing people back is a burden, not to mention other things. The county owner is not big, but he is thoughtful in everything.

Under the arrangement of County Magistrate Yan, each village sent three people to learn, and the county magistrate himself also went with his master to learn. From a distance, you can only see people pointing and talking. When you look closer, you can see that everyone has an extremely serious expression on their face, and their eyes are fixed on the person demonstrating, fearing that they will miss some important points. If they don't understand something, they will ask again and again to confirm, so as to achieve the most accurate planting goal. The people who ask are sincere, and the people who answer are also serious. They are not impatient with repeated questions, but give the most detailed explanations.

All the people who came were experienced workers, and with such a detailed explanation, after an hour, the key points of planting were memorized by all the observers. In fact, many people had memorized the methods long ago, but they were afraid that they would not learn them well enough, so they waited for an hour before returning in groups of two or three. When they came to the carriage loaded with seedlings again, they came to their senses and said that they had driven the ox cart here, but they were afraid of dirtying the streets in the city, so they parked the ox cart outside the city.

As a result, Manager Tong waved his hand again: "Our county lady said that this time we will send you directly to your destination, which can also be regarded as a way to familiarize you with the route. We have loaded the carts according to the needs of each village, and the drivers are also veterans who are familiar with sweet potato planting. We will stay in each village for two days. If you don’t understand something, you can ask questions in time. Of course, you don’t need to be responsible for food and lodging. They all bring their own dry food. They are all people who are used to eating and sleeping in the open air. They can sleep directly in the carriage at night. You don’t have to worry about having another burden. If there is really a bold person, you can come to my Guizong City to report him."

Everyone's eyes were red after hearing these words. They had always been afraid of officials. They never expected that the county lord would be so considerate of them, always thinking ahead of them and arranging everything in a thoughtful and warm manner.

County Magistrate Yan felt his eyes dry, he looked up at the sky, the sky was high and the clouds were light, clear and bright. He took a deep breath and said to everyone: "Since it is the county lady's kindness, you should accept it, but you just need to know what to do next."

The dull farmers stammered and said nothing, but their eyes were full of gratitude.

A hundred horse-drawn carriages and more than a hundred ox-drawn carts formed a mighty convoy, winding out of Guizong City. Gu Xixian stood on a high sentry post and watched them gradually go their separate ways in the distance, with a slight smile on her lips. The first step to popularize sweet potatoes in the northern border has been taken, and at the same time, her first step in farming has also been taken. She is not Grandpa Yuan, and research and invention are not her strong points. What she can do is to carry forward her meager knowledge in this world and slightly improve the lives of the people here. Even if it is a little bit of nostalgia for the country she once lived in.

Gu Teng reached out and rubbed the top of her head: "You are just a child, don't be so serious. Family, country and the world are not your responsibility. You just need to be happy and don't force yourself."

Gu Xixian: Is it true that people here like to be patted on the head? Why does everyone like to pat her head? Fortunately, she doesn't like a head full of pearls and jade, and only uses a headband to tie her hair, otherwise she would have to comb her hair several times a day.

Thinking about all these things, she could only laugh at the words of the ancestors in her heart. The reality was: "These are all things I like to do. I don't force myself, ancestor."

Alas, she is the kind of person who is two-faced, right?

"Good, you have ambition." Gu Xu gave her a thumbs up and grinned at her.

Gu Xixian was ashamed: I have no ambition, my ambition is to be a salted fish.

She chuckled twice again and smiled brightly: "Thank you for the praise, old ancestor. Xian'er will continue to work hard."

The two ancestors of the next generation were both very happy, so what's the point of having so many sons? A good girl is worth a hundred.

The three grandparents, holding hands, walked slowly along the city wall, and lived a very comfortable life. They had no idea that other people in the capital were busy as hell, no, flying all the time; some were crying and reflecting deeply; and many more were struggling to raise money.
