Fight the Giants

  Chapter 521 High Yield

  After months of hard work, the pumpkins finally harvested. Li Shimian and his wife took their daughter-in-law and granddaughter-in-law to pick pumpkins in the field.

  In the pumpkin field, seeing him picking pumpkins, Mrs. Ma became dazed and sighed.

   "Old man, old man!"

   "Huh?" Li Shimian turned his head.

   "Why are you in a daze. You pick the pumpkin back quickly, and it will be beaten by Shuang later, let's see if you don't feel bad."

"oh oh."

Mingjin, Mingyue and the others looked at the big, long, green and red pumpkin, and they were so happy from ear to ear: "Grandfather, this pumpkin has so many knots, this one weighs dozens of catties, we can't even hug it." move!"

  Li Shimian grinned happily: "Slow down, take it easy, put it in the grandfather's arms, don't break it. Your cousin said that this pumpkin can be kept for a long time. If it breaks, it won't survive."

   "Don't worry, grandfather, we will be careful."

   Li Shimian looked at the pumpkins that had been picked and put into a pile, and he was in a good mood. What could be more joyful than seeing such a bountiful harvest?

   Miao looked at the pumpkins that had piled up all over the ground in a short time, feeling happy and worried at the same time.

   "Mother, how can we move with how many of us?"

  All the males in the family have served in the military, should they stay in the field and wait for them to come back? Originally, Dian Shou said that after a few days they would go to the field to collect them together after they stopped serving, but his father disagreed.

   One is afraid that bad people and animals will spoil it, and the other is that the melon will be destroyed by frost.

  The pumpkins at home are only big enough to be fisted when they bear fruit. My parents let the family members take turns guarding them. Seeing is more precious than eyeballs. The nearby villagers learned that unknown things were planted in the Li family's field, and they came to see it curiously. Since the fruit was produced, they have never stopped people. The house is constantly being guarded day and night, for fear that bad people will **** it.

"You idiot, you are still worried when you get so many melons. Why worry about it, we will push them back with a cart one by one in a while, and then we will hold one each, just make a few more trips." Shi reprimanded her.

   Miao's smiling face was full of smiles: "Mother, the melons in this show can really produce seeds. It's only less than one mu of land, and it's more than two thousand catties."

   "That's not true. Can Ning sister be wrong?" Mrs. Ma smiled brightly.

  Li Shimian took his granddaughter-in-law and two granddaughters to pick all the ripe melons and moved them to the open space. He watched happily, his chest agitated.

  If every family grows such a high-yield product, they will not have to worry about being full. Although it is not food but vegetables, even grass roots and bark are eaten during the famine. With such storable vegetables and vegetables to fill their stomachs, the people can always survive.

  The family was worrying about how to transport the melons. The nearby villagers got the news early, and many people rushed over, "Mr. Li, we will help you transport them back." Without any explanation, they helped to put the melons on the cart and pushed them to Li's house.

   Only one trolley can’t hold much, and the others will have one each to help carry it back.

   "Oh, it's so heavy, it must weigh twenty or thirty catties."

   "More than that, probably more than forty or fifty catties."

  The two villagers each hold a long pumpkin, like holding a piglet, looking into their arms while walking. This one is enough for the family to eat several meals.

  With eager eyes, if only they could grow it too.

   Surrounded Li Shimian: "Mr. Li, your family has got such a good thing, don't forget us neighbors, can you share some seeds with us, so that we can plant them next year?"

   "Yes, Mr. Li, the family is in trouble, and we are worried about the next meal. Can you give us some seeds?"

  The villagers were envious of harvesting so many pumpkins in less than an acre of land.

Li Shimian smiled and nodded at everyone: "Don't worry, we will plant together. I will save the seeds for you. Our family can't finish eating these melons. When we finish harvesting, if you want to buy them, we will sell them too." Some out."

   "That's really great! Just say that Mr. Li will definitely agree. Mr. Li and your family are very good people!"

  Li Shimian's voice just fell, and more people rushed to the field to help harvest and carry. When Li Dianshou and others came back, all the ripe melons in the field had been stacked in the cellar of the storehouse, and they had nothing to do.

  The father and son discussed what to do with these pumpkins.

  They originally wanted to try to plant it once, to see the situation, and then spread it. The seeds must be divided, so that everyone can follow along. Sister Ning's painstaking efforts cannot be ruined.

   "Our family keeps half of it, and sells the other half to nearby villagers at a low price, and then gives some to nearby families who are exiled like us."

   "Well, they will plant such a high-yielding thing together next year. It will be gradually promoted at that time, and we will plan slowly."

  The family was very excited.

  In addition to pumpkins, they also planted many other exotic crops. When the time comes, no matter whether the yield is high or not, they can add a few more edible foods to the people, which is also a merit.

  It would be best if he could escape the crime, but if not, it would be good if he could be exempted from the hard labor of the men of his family.

   Within a few days, the families of the exiles nearby all received pumpkins from the Li family, and the Shao Ji family got two. Zhuang took his granddaughter to move them to a dry place in the shade. He was reluctant to eat them and planned to eat them when Luoxue had nothing to eat.

   "I heard that everyone only got one, but our family got two." Zhuang said to Shao Ji.

   "En." Shao Ji nodded, the Li family took care of them everywhere, and he remembered it in his heart.

   Seeing him sitting on the threshold in a daze again, Mrs. Zhuang felt uncomfortable, "Mo think about it, don't we know it in our hearts?"

  A few days ago, they had received a letter from their granddaughter, and learned that her daughter had passed away two years ago. The couple cried a lot, and suddenly they were a few years older.

  Shao Ji suppressed the sadness in his eyes, "I'm worried about Chuxue."

  Zhuang wiped her eyes, "What's the use of worrying. Can we help her or go to see her?"

  Although it was difficult for them, at least their lives were still alive. The daughter and granddaughter were in the mansion in the capital, but one of them died, and the other couldn't live happily.

  The husband and wife were sitting on the threshold lamenting, when the grandson brought a letter.

   The couple saw that it was sent by their granddaughter, so they hurriedly opened it to read it. After reading it, they looked excited and ran to Li's house in a hurry.

  The Li family was having dinner, and they made several dishes with pumpkins. Everyone applauded the dishes, and when they were enjoying themselves, Shao Ji and his wife came to the door. As soon as they met, they bent their knees and wanted to salute them.

  Li Shimian and his wife hurriedly supported them, "How do you say that?"

Shao Ji was too excited to speak, and Mrs. Zhuang took Mrs. Ma and wiped her tears gratefully: "I would like to thank your relatives for their help. If it weren't for her, how could my Chuxue family get a good family? I'm afraid I will have to live in Dongfang The family was ruined."

  When everyone heard the reason, they were all happy for Dong Chuxue.

   "This is great. Your granddaughter has jumped out of the fire pit. She is also the matchmaker of Chang Shibao of the Emperor Taisun's Mansion, and she will have a stable life in the future. Then the Dong family will not dare to hold her any longer."

   "That's right!" Shao Jizhuang and his wife pulled Li Shimian and Ma Shi excitedly. "Thanks to your family, thanks to your family."

  Li Shimian was happy for them and sad at the same time. Shao Ji's granddaughter is out of the sea of ​​suffering, but his granddaughter and grandson are still suffering.

  In the capital city, Zhang Jin has inquired about the Huo family, and met a person who seems to have known him before.
