Chapter 225 Mid-Autumn Festival is coming
"We have to work harder and not let Jiang Xue down!"
……
Soon, the neighboring villages also heard that Jiang Xue was going to lead the villagers to grow potatoes. The news spread quickly, and nearby villagers came to Jiangjia Village to help.
"I heard that you are going to grow potatoes here? Our village also wants to join in the fun!" said a villager from the neighboring village with a smile.
"That's great! There's strength in numbers!" Jiang Xue warmly welcomed them. "If we all work together, we can definitely grow better potatoes!"
As a result, villagers from neighboring villages also joined the planting. The fields were crowded with people, and everyone exchanged planting experiences and shared their experiences.
"Look at these potato seeds. You have to choose the big and plump ones!"
"Yes, yes! And the amount of fertilizer must also be controlled, not too much and not too little."
"When watering, you have to pay attention to the time. It's best to water in the morning and evening so that the roots are not easily damaged."
……
"Oh, aren't these potatoes grown in our village?" A villager pointed curiously at a pile of potatoes in front of him, with surprise written all over his face.
The villager's name is Chen Er, and he is one of the farmers in Chenjia Village who grows potatoes and sweet potatoes.
When Jiang Damao heard what Chen Er said, he quickly came over, stared at the potatoes carefully with wide eyes, and asked doubtfully: "Are you serious? The whole village is planting them?"
Chen Er nodded and said affirmatively: "Yes, if you don't believe it, you can ask other people. Now almost every household in our village grows potatoes. This is all thanks to Miss Jiang. Not only did she bring us potato seeds, she also taught us how to plant them."
After hearing this, Jiang Damao's face immediately showed a look of surprise and joy. He couldn't help but sighed: "This is really great! The clan leader is really a blessing to our village. I was always worried that this piece of land would be abandoned, but I didn't expect that such good crops can be grown here now. Your entire village has planted it, which means that these seeds must be top-notch products."
Chen Er also nodded in agreement and said, "Yes, Miss Jiang is really amazing. Not only does she grow potatoes very well, but she also often comes to the fields to give us guidance and help us solve various problems. With her help, we have more confidence in growing potatoes."
While the two were talking, other villagers gathered around and asked curiously about the potato planting situation.
It is already late September and the Mid-Autumn Festival is just around the corner.
At this moment, the vast fields are golden and the heavy ears of rice are bathed in the sun, just like a golden gift that nature has specially presented to welcome the reunion festival.
As the breeze blows gently, the rice fields create waves like a golden ocean, and the fragrance of rice fills the air, refreshing the heart.
Looking into the distance, the hardworking farmers are gazing at the endless sea of rice with smiles on their faces, their faces filled with joy and satisfaction of the harvest.
This beautiful time not only means a bumper harvest of rice, but also implies that families are about to reunite, share the beauty of the bright moon, and spend warm time together.
"After the Mid-Autumn Festival, we will harvest this season's rice!" Jiang Xue announced in a loud voice while standing on the edge of the field.
Before he finished speaking, the villagers cheered and their excitement was beyond words.
This sentence spread quickly to the surrounding villages like a spring breeze.
For a time, every village was in an uproar, and people's reactions were exactly the same, full of anticipation for the harvest and longing for the future.

"Grandma, I would like to ask you to prepare more salted duck eggs these days." Jiang Xue said to Jiang Chen as soon as she entered the door, with a hint of anticipation on her face.
"Okay, I'll arrange someone to do it right away." Although Jiang Chen was a little curious about why her granddaughter suddenly wanted so many salted duck eggs, she didn't ask any more questions and just agreed readily.
"Grandma, I want to prepare more salted duck eggs these days, especially the egg yolks. I have a special use for them." Jiang Xue further explained her needs.
Jiang Chen nodded to show that she understood: "Okay, I will tell you to pay attention to this. But, are there any special arrangements?"
Jiang Xue smiled and said mysteriously, "Yes, grandma. I plan to hold an event in five days, and I need these salted duck eggs and some other things. I plan to bring the women from the neighboring village to participate, which can not only enhance our friendship, but also let everyone experience the fun of making together."
Jiang Chen listened to her granddaughter's explanation. Although she was still a little confused, she saw Jiang Xue's confident and expectant eyes and decided to fully support her granddaughter: "Okay, I will arrange everything in five days, you can do it without any worries."
In the past few days, the butcher Zhang's servant frequently delivered goods to the meatball factory, so Jiang Xue asked the servant to take a few pieces of pork on the way back from the delivery. She used the pork to design some new food recipes and drew a few drawings for some skilled elderly people in the village to make them. At the same time, Jiang Xue also drew a few drawings to guide them in making various exquisite and practical bamboo baskets.
The next morning, the two teachers and children in the school were on holiday, so Jiang Xue took Jiang Chen and a group of women from the village to work overtime in the factory to make mooncakes. Molds of various shapes were neatly placed on the table, and everyone worked busy and orderly.
At this time, Feng Qingyu walked into the factory and was attracted by the busy scenes and various molds in front of him. He asked curiously, "Miss Jiang, what are you doing?"
Jiang Xue looked back and saw that it was Feng Qingyu. She was a little surprised: "Mr. Feng? Why are you here?"
Feng Qingyu smiled slightly and pretended to be dissatisfied and said: "I told you, call me Qingyu from now on."
Jiang Xue also smiled: "Oh, Qingyu, why are you here suddenly?"
Feng Qingyu shook the package in her hand and said, "Isn't it almost Mid-Autumn Festival? I came here specially to give you a gift."
Jiang Xue took the package curiously and opened it. Inside was a beautiful box with an exquisitely carved jade hairpin. She said in surprise, "Wow, this jade hairpin is so beautiful! Thank you, Qingyu."
Feng Qingyu looked at Jiang Xue's happy expression, and a trace of joy surged in his heart. He smiled and said, "Miss Jiang, you're welcome. I heard that you are preparing for the Mid-Autumn Festival celebration. If you need any help, just ask."
Changing the subject, Feng Qingyu continued, "Oh, by the way, I also had some books and study supplies sent to the academy. Just consider it as a small token of my appreciation."
