The old man over there was showing off in the village, and Liu Haizhong was no less impressive here. When he returned to the courtyard, Liu Haizhong didn't even care that Liu Guangqi was already fifteen and they were engaged, and without saying a word, he hugged Liu Guangqi and started lifting her up.
Seeing Old Liu like this, Liu Guangqi felt that if he beat him now, Old Liu would praise him for his civil and military skills.
After finishing the lift, Lao Liu, who was still feeling excited, took his whole family out to a restaurant. This was the first time Liu Haizhong took his family out to a restaurant since Liu Guangqi was reborn.
In the evening, according to the rules, Liu Haizhong invited the gentlemen in the courtyard to have a meal again. Looking at Liu Haizhong who looked so embarrassed, these gentlemen felt for the first time that the meat no longer tasted good. Thinking about Liu Guangqi and then thinking about his own son, he suddenly felt heartbroken. How could there be such a huge gap between two people?
One can learn without worrying and win glory, while the other can do nothing but make trouble and make people angry.
It's uncomfortable to have a son, but it's even more uncomfortable to have a son. If you have a son, you can get a beating when you go home, but if you don't have a son, you can only endure it. The more the gentlemen thought about it, the more awkward they became, and the more they thought about it, the more they couldn't eat. They left before finishing the wine. This was the first time since they moved to the courtyard that the gentlemen had leftover food after drinking.
For several days, the courtyard was a lively place. As soon as the ladies had some free time, they would sit together and start talking about Liu Guangqi. This was no exception in school and on the street. No matter whether they knew each other or not, when they saw Liu Guangqi, they would give him a smile. .
However, everything has a shelf life. Although people would still talk about Liu Guangqi from time to time after a week, they had lost the excitement at the beginning and started looking for other topics.
Liu Guangqi also returned to his old life again, but the influence of the song "My Motherland and Me" did not weaken over time. Instead, it spread wider and wider. Without Liu Guangqi's knowledge, it spread all over the country, even across the Yangtze River. separated by North Korea.
Another weekend came in the blink of an eye, and Liu Guangqi did not plan to go to the medical clinic again this weekend. Counting the weekend occupied by the choir, Liu Guangqi had not returned to the village for more than 20 days.
How could Liu Guangqi, who had just got engaged, bear this? Even if he could only hold hands and kiss mouths when he went back, he couldn't do anything real, but it would be better than staying in the city and looking at the faces of his uncle and aunt. Strong.
Because the food eaten in this era is rough, people's masseter muscles are very developed. Both men and women have a face with a Chinese character. It's okay for a man to have a Chinese character face, and he looks grand. If a woman has a Chinese character face, it's okay. That face is really hard to describe.
Coupled with the fact that malnutrition leads to missing and crooked teeth, most women these days are not very good-looking. Only those ladies from wealthy families who grew up eating fine grains will have good-looking faces.
For girls from rural areas to be as outstanding as the three Qin Huairu sisters, it is really like smoke rising from their ancestral graves.
Riding the bicycle borrowed from Bai Mei, Liu Guangqi returned to the village smoothly. Naturally, he was interrogated by the Bai family when picking up the bicycle.
It was the end of the autumn harvest at this time, and most families had already taken away the crops in the fields. Only a few families were still busy in the fields.
Looking from a distance, the whole land is golden and vast, it is the harvest season. The road leading from the town to Liujia Village has also been repaired in advance under the leadership of the village chief. Although it is still a dirt road, it is much better than the previous bumpy roads. At least you can ride a bicycle quickly on it.
"Guangqi, you're back."
Liu Guangqi had just arrived at the entrance of the village. He didn't know who had such sharp eyes. He immediately saw Liu Guangqi and shouted to the village. Before Liu Guangqi could react, the villagers who were playing with the crops immediately put down their hands. Something happened to the guy inside, and a crowd of people surrounded him. Liu Guangqi was so frightened that he thought he had done something outrageous and almost turned around and ran away. However, before he could make any move, he was surrounded by villagers.
"Guangqi, what did the teacher tell you?"
"Guangqi, is the teacher following..."
…
When Liu Guangqi heard that it was because of the teacher, he once again put on a professional fake smile on his face and happily answered the villagers' doubts.
After spending a long time, Liu Guangqi finally asked the enthusiastic villagers to return to his home. As soon as he entered the house, Liu Guangqi once again received the highest level of treatment. The old man came to the door to greet him in person.
The old man was also very interested in the photo of him with the teacher. Although he had already heard Liu Guangxiao tell it once, he still pulled Liu Guangqi to start asking questions. Although he had answered it many times, Liu Guangqi still kept a smile on his face for the sake of his personality. I took the trouble to tell the elders in my family what happened.
"Uncle, have all the crops in the fields been harvested?"
After talking about the teacher, Liu Guangqi asked about the autumn harvest at home.
"The harvest is all over. This year is a good harvest year. One acre of land can produce three hundred kilograms of grain."
Liu Haizhu lit a cigarette that his son brought back from the city and said happily
"Three hundred kilograms. Didn't my elder brother say that one acre of land can weigh four hundred kilograms? Why is there so much less? If we pay public grain again, will this food be enough?"
One acre of land is less than 100 kilograms. Liu Guangqi and his family of nine have land, with a total of 18 acres of land. This is more than 1,800 kilograms of grain. This much grain is enough to feed a family of four for a year. .
"Your elder brother knows nothing. He has only been farming for a few years. If the harvest is as he sees it, there will be bumper harvests every year. The crops can grow, but our land cannot support it. But don't worry. , the food is enough to eat, our family has not been as rich as this year in many years, the food is enough to eat, if you don’t want to spend money to buy food, just ride home and take it home, anyway, we have two acres of land for you."
As soon as he said this, Liu Guangqi understood what was going on. It was still a problem with chemical fertilizers. It wasn't that the crops couldn't grow so many sticks, but that the fertility of the ground couldn't support it.
When Liu Guangqi and Liu Guangxiao looked at it, they only saw that the corn stalks were all covered with cobs. However, before the cobs were full of ears, there was no fertility in the field, and many of the cobs were still empty. Just cobs without corn kernels. The harvest was naturally much less than Liu Guangxiao expected.
Liu Guangqi originally planned to wait until next summer's harvest to plant the corn cobs he had specially left in his space as seeds in his mother's two acres of land to see if he could have a bumper harvest.
Now that I think about it, I am still too naive. If the ground is not fertile, no matter how good the seeds are, it will be useless. Even if I increase the yield, it will not increase much. An extra one hundred or two hundred catties will be as big as the sky, but the consequences will be for the next season. Grain production decreases.
The reason why Liu Guangqi could harvest 1,800 kilograms of corn even if he didn't take care of it in his previous life was because too much chemical fertilizer was used on that land in the past few years, and all the unabsorbed fertility remained in the land.
In this era, the land does not have so much residual fertility. Its limit is a yield of three hundred kilograms per acre. Without chemical fertilizers, even if you want to, you can't get a higher yield. Unless you are determined to stop farming for a year to let the exhausted land breathe, and then use farmyard manure to cultivate and cultivate fertility, you may be able to gain 700 to 800 pounds.
But what will we eat if we stop farming for a year? We won’t starve to death, so this is an endless cycle. To break it, we must take a comprehensive approach from multiple aspects such as seeds, fertilizers, farming methods, weeding and insecticides. A single attack is not enough to break this vicious cycle and increase production.
"No, we have enough food. Just take care of grandpa and yourself. Don't worry about us. Grandpa, I'm going to her house to see her. I haven't come back to see her for a few days because of that matter. If I don't go, this little girl should Blame me."
"Let's go now. Let's have a meal at home before we go."
Liu Haizhu stayed.
"No, I went to her house to have a meal. I gave her so much food, so her family wouldn't even be willing to give me a meal, hahaha,"
"Okay, okay, go early"
"Then I'm going, Grandpa"
"Well, go ahead."
The old man nodded after hearing this.
After talking to the old man, Liu Guangqi rode his bicycle to Qinjiazhuang. The two villages are so close. It is impossible that the villagers of Qinjiazhuang would not know about such a bad thing in Liujiazhuang, let alone this matter. The protagonist is still the son-in-law of their village. When it comes to enthusiasm, other villages are naturally more enthusiastic. Some good people even went directly to Qin Huairu's house to ask about it.
