Crossing the Unknown Country

Chapter 216 Su He and the others are busy on the farm

Su He smiled and said, "One acre of rice field only needs to raise a thousand fish, and about fifteen ducks. Don't worry, ducks mainly eat weeds and pests, and fish mainly eat aquatic plant seeds and zooplankton in the water. Fish can mainly be carp, crucian carp and grass carp. I also read this in a book, don't worry! Someone has done it and there is no problem."

Wang Zhuangtou smiled and said, "Young master, you know a lot. Fish are easy to buy. There are several fish farmers nearby. I will go buy some fish fry. There are also duck fry sellers. Once the fields are fenced and watered, I will send someone to buy them."

Su He smiled and said, "Don't wait until the rice is planted, otherwise what will they eat?"

Wang Zhuangtou slapped his head and said with a smile: "Look at my brain, why didn't I think of this!"

Village head Wang said enviously, "Young master has a good brain. How come he has arranged everything so well? The farm will be different in a few years after planting these fruit trees. And with the rice fields, what else does our farm lack? We will have chickens, ducks, fish and meat. Our lives will get better and better next year."

Su He's father smiled and said, "Just follow my lead. Next year, everyone will be able to eat good food and live a good life."

Su He and his friends in the village built a noodle workshop with everyone else. Five people were selected from the village to learn how to make noodles from Wang Dashan and Su He's father. Su also taught Wang Zhuangtou's two daughters-in-law, Dahua and Erniu, how to make vegetable juice. They would be responsible for these tasks in the future.

Su He's father had already told them that everyone would have a separate salary, 30 cents per month, and a bonus at the end of the year. These people were very happy, the salary was not less than that in the city, and they were all servants who had to work even if they were not paid.

Taking advantage of the season, Wang Zhuangtou and his men have been planting all the fruit tree seedlings they bought. Su He also asked them to find a piece of land to plant the seeds he brought. If any seedlings emerge, they will be transplanted and raised into seedlings before being planted in open space.

Su He knew that she couldn't rush this. As long as half of them survived, she would be lucky. She hoped that some uncommon seeds could be grown. Su He thought of mushrooms and herbs and could try them back in the village, so that the villagers would have another way out.

Looking at the rows of saplings that were finally planted, Su He seemed to see all kinds of fruits growing on the branches in a few years. Of course, there are also more than a dozen mature trees here, otherwise there will be no fruit to eat next year. These big trees are planted alone in an open area. They need to be watered and fertilized frequently, and they may bear fruit this year.

Su He also asked someone to find two grape seedlings and plant them in their yard, hoping that they would be able to enjoy the coolness under the grape vines and eat grapes in the summer in a few years. By then, they could make a rattan chair and put it under the tree, drink tea, eat fruits and snacks, and enjoy the fragrance of fruits in the breeze. How pleasant it would be.

In his previous life, Su He had thought that when he earned enough money, he would find a village with simple folk customs and buy a small yard to grow vegetables, raise fish and chickens. It would be even better if he could have an acre of land, so that he could live the rest of his life in a self-sufficient way. As for love, it is my luck if I get it, and my fate if I lose it. I will not force it, just go with the flow.

It is best to have one child, whether born or adopted, otherwise there will always be some regrets in life. I hope there will be someone to accompany me when I am old, and I don’t want to live alone.

Although she herself knew that people in modern society were indifferent to each other, and the same was true for family and friendship, as a mortal she could not escape from this world.

Maybe God took pity on her for her shallow love in her previous life, and let her come to this loving family in this life. Her grandparents and parents all gave her warmth and care. She also had four brothers who loved her in this life, and based on these, she felt that coming here was right.

In fact, sometimes being poor is not terrible, what is terrible is being without love and hope, which can really make people numb and suffocate. Fortunately, Su He met the Su family in this life. They have no money but have the character of literati, and the family always loves each other.

Su He was able to start a new life with them without any worries and use her knowledge to change the environment at home. It was all because of their love and protection that she could boldly try.
