Chapter 35: Busy time during harvest time
In order to thank Shen Yi for his help, Su Tai secretly left ten kilograms of wheat for him before leaving.
Shen Yi didn't realize it until Su Tai was far away, and couldn't laugh or cry.
When Su Chunlin got the soybeans and peanuts, it was as if he had got extraordinary treasures. He started sowing according to Su Tai's instructions.
Su Tai was just a layman, so she relied on the seed shop owner to teach her, and she felt very guilty.
The family planted soybeans and peanuts and began to look forward to the harvest.
After the busy spring plowing, April arrived in a blink of an eye.
There is still no sign of rain, but the water flowing from Dongmen Village to Zhongmen Village not only meets the farming needs of the two villages, but also has a surplus.
At this time, Gao Zhi, who was dying, had to lower his attitude and come to Dongmen Village to apologize to Su Changxi in person, hoping that Su Changxi would be accommodating and allow their village to divert water.
Su Changxi took Qiao several times, and finally let go after letting out the bad breath he had at the beginning.
Villagers from other townships knew that Dongmen Village had water and came to buy water one after another.
This time, Su Changxi confiscated everyone's money and only limited the amount of water everyone could fetch. Everyone who received the favor from Dongmen Village praised Dongmen Village for its righteousness. All the young and old girls in Dongmen Village who had not yet discussed marriage were married. A delicious pastry.
On this day, Su Changxi's daughter Su Yan came over to ask Su Tai to go into the mountains to pick wild vegetables.
Su Tai wanted to earn virtual coins and agreed without hesitation.
The two sisters carried rattan baskets into the mountains. Su Tai was focused on the wild vegetables and herbs and accidentally got separated from Su Yan. When she turned back to look for someone, she suddenly heard Su Yan calling for help and hurried to follow the sound.
The injured Su Yan was found in a mountain stream.
"Are you okay?" Su Tai stepped forward nervously and looked at Su Yan's calf.
Su Yan had tears in her eyes and a bruised face, "I was bitten by a snake. Fortunately, I was discovered by a passerby. He helped me get rid of the snake and found herbs for me."
Su Tai took Su Yan's hand away and saw that her wound was really covered with herbs, so she hurriedly said: "Let's go back first."
The two helped them down the mountain, and Su Tai also understood what happened.
That evening, Mrs. Han hurried home. When she saw Su Tai, she asked about Su Yan, "Xiao Tai, please tell mother carefully about Su Yan's injury."
Su Tai looked puzzled, but she confessed honestly, "I came over when I heard her shouting, and I didn't see the rescuer."
Han sighed and said, "Your uncle Changxi went to inquire about it and said that it was Sang Rong from Fufeng Township who saved him."
"Sangrong, Fufeng Township? Why did the people over there come to us?" Su Tai was even more confused.
Mrs. Han frowned, "I heard that I came here with the villagers to collect water. Seeing that there was water in our village, I wanted to go into the mountains to see if there was any game, but I didn't expect to meet Su Yan."
This reason makes sense.
"Mom, if this is the case, Uncle Changxi and Aunt Huang must thank me." Su Tai said.
Mrs. Han looked at her innocent daughter sadly and sighed silently, "I'm afraid things are not that simple!"
It turned out just as Han said. Within a few days, news spread in the village that Su Yan was going to marry Sang Rong.
Su Tai was shocked and wanted to visit Su Yan, but then she realized that she had nothing to offer. After thinking about it, she went to see Mrs. Han, "Mom, let's raise some chickens at home! At least I can give my brother some food, so I can give him gifts when I go out." It’s also convenient.” “Yes!” Han agreed without hesitation.
Su Tai then went to Su Yan's house with a pair of flowers.
Su Yan's injury has healed and she can walk freely. When she saw Su Tai coming over, she was as happy as a flower.
Seeing how happy she was, Su Tai immediately took out the flower in her hair and asked, "I heard you are going to marry Sang Rong?"
Su Yan's face instantly turned red, she bit her lip in embarrassment, her eyes filled with autumn water, "How do you know? But did my aunt tell you?"
Su Tai nodded, a little worried, "Sister Yan, do you really want to marry him? You don't even understand him."
Su Yan nodded decisively, "Do you know how scared I was that day? I thought I would die there. It was him. He showed up and saved me. He is my savior, Xiao Tai. They all say that there is no life-saving grace." I thought I could only repay him with my body. Don’t worry, he is so kind, he must be a good match!”
Su Tai blinked hard, not really understanding Su Yan's logic. Looking at her sinking look, she knew that no matter how much she said, it would be useless.
It happened that the one-acre vegetable plot she had in Tu Shikong was ready for harvesting, and she couldn't care less about Su Yan.
All that was recovered was cabbage. After deducting the half that Earth Time and Space had taken away, she ended up with more than 6,700 kilograms. She sold them all to the automatic trading cabinet and got 2,250 virtual coins. She was rich again!
The soil space-time also collected 10,000 kilograms of crops this time to unlock level three. The paddy fields and fertile fields doubled again to four acres. The next upgrade requires the soil space-time deducted crops to reach 100,000 kilograms. It's getting harder and harder.
Although this amount made Su Tai depressed, the upgraded land made her extremely happy.
In order to hide her golden finger, she couldn't take it out openly no matter what she planted, so this time she planted cabbage and rice. She planted cabbage because it has high yield and is easy to take care of, and she planted rice because it is the most suitable for paddy fields. , and is of greatest use to her.
It wasn't until she finished her business that she found out that Su Yan was engaged to Sang Rong.
Su Tai could only wish.
In midsummer, the sky was still clear without a trace of cloud, and the earth was scorching. The situation in Dongmen Village was better, but the situation outside was getting more and more serious. The villagers began to worry and got up before dawn to water the fields. , each one was as tired as a skinny monkey.
At this time, Su Tai collected all the cabbage in the field and sold 20,000 catties for 6,000 virtual coins.
With the money, she hired gophers directly to do the work this time.
One acre of land requires two gophers, and the annual reward for one gopher is one thousand virtual coins. She can hire six gophers to be responsible for three acres of land, greatly reducing her workload.
With the help of the gopher, she planted a new batch of cabbage in just one day.
With these gophers, the two acres of rice can be harvested.
The gopher worked hard for three days, and finally the rice that fell into her hands was 1,200 kilograms. The price given by the automatic trading cabinet was three coins per kilogram, and she sold it for 3,600 coins.
They continued to raise seedlings and sow seeds without stopping, and she didn't put in any effort at all.
Having tasted the benefits, Su Tai spent another two thousand coins to hire two gophers. In this way, she only had to be responsible for four acres of land and left all the heavy work to the gophers. She would wait until she earns more virtual coins in the future. Eight were hired to take care of the remaining land, and they all worked together.
After she finished all these things and sat down to chat with her family, she heard Su Chunlin yelling about going to Shenjiazhuang.
"Dad, do you have anything to do with Brother Shen?" Su Tai asked curiously.
Su Chunlin frowned, "I heard that the Daxun River has stopped flowing again. If the water is cut off at this time, it will cost lives! I have to go see if there is any place that can help."
Su Tai couldn't sit still anymore and said hurriedly: "Dad, I'll go with you!"
