Chapter 823

Tan Tuo and an Zike went to the potato planting place. Looking at the potatoes dug out one by one, Tan Tuo was a little excited and said to an old farmer with a hoe, "old man, give me the hoe, OK?" Tan Tuo's clothes are very simple. He has two followers around him. He looks like a scholar. He can't see that he is a senior official at all. In the same way, anziko was also very plain.

The old farmer lent his hoe to tan Tuo.

Tan Tuo is really good at farm work, though he is a weak scholar. As soon as you dig, you dig out a complete potato. Looking at the seven or eight small potatoes, Tan Tuo squatted down to pick them up, scraped off the mud and put them in the basket one by one.

Compared with Tan Tuo, an Zike is a stranger in doing this. He dug down with a hoe and damaged several of them.

An Zike put down his hoe and said with a smile, "Mr. Tan, have you ever done farm work before?" Looking at this, I'm not only a farmer, but also an old hand.

Tan Tuo nodded his head and said, "I was born in a rural family. I've been eating in the fields since I was a child. I won't live in the fields without me. " For his birth, Tan Tuo felt no shame.

An Zike smiles and praises.

After half an hour, an acre of potato was dug up. Tan Tuo asked people to weigh the harvest of this mu of land, which is also a good idea. When he heard that the land had collected 1780 Jin, Tan Tuo said three good words in succession. Even if it can't be planted continuously, it can only be planted once every two or three years, which is very good.

An Zike is also overjoyed that these things can fill the stomach and the output is so high, which solves the big problem of people's ration. However, it's a pity to hear Tan Tuo say that this thing can't be continuously planted: "if it can be continuously planted, that's good."

Tan Tuo said with a smile: "the yield in one season is equivalent to the yield of wheat in three and four seasons. It's already good. "

They stayed in the countryside until it was nearly dark, and then they went back to Ho City. If there were not too many things, Tan Tuo would like to live in the countryside for one more day.

The next day, Tan Tuo went to see Yuxi. When he talked about the potato, his smile didn't break: "princess, this potato will be vigorously promoted now."

Yuxi shook his head and said, "I'm going to plant 100000 Mu next season. No more." Seeing that Tan Tuo was puzzled, Yuxi didn't explain too much. Instead, he talked about reclaiming wasteland: "how much land has been reclaimed in the northwest in the past two years?"

"996800 mu," Tan said

Yuxi was silent and said, "it's a pity that there is a lack of water. Otherwise, we can open twice as much land." Tan Tuo told Yunqing that the army can no longer continue to reclaim land. This is not to say that there are a lot of land reclaimed by the army, but there are not enough water resources. No matter how much land is reclaimed, if there is no water to irrigate it, it is useless.

Dams and canals are under construction, but the speed of water conservancy projects is very slow. Up to now, only three dams have been built, and the Third Dam will be completed in May. According to the plan, six more dams will be built, which will take two years. There will be a gold mine there, otherwise Yuxi can't carry it!

Tan Tuo thought about it for a while, and then talked to Yu Xi about the scientific examination: "princess, is the children's examination still in June this year?"

Yuxi shook his head and said, "this year, next year will be in early March." March is the best time for exams.

The imperial children's examination was held in the middle of February. It's nothing to postpone the examination in the Northwest for more than half a month. Tan Tuo immediately nodded: "this is good."

Time always flies when there is something to do. No, it's lunch time in the blink of an eye.

Huo Changqing has something to go out today. This meeting is not in the house. Zaozao didn't want to have lunch alone, so she went back to the backyard to eat with Yuxi and liuer.

Yuxi looked at the wolfed down jujube, can't help but say: "jujube, don't eat so fast, no one with you." This is the drawback of letting her daughter follow a big man. If she goes on like this, she will be no different from a man in the future.

Jujube said: "Niang, I don't want to be like my sister! A meal takes two or three quarters of an hour. " For jujube, Liu er's behavior is a waste of time.

Hearing the words "sister", Liu Er immediately looked up at Jujube with a sweet smile. That stupid appearance, see jade Xi want to help the forehead again.

Even Yuxi thinks it's incredible that liu'er especially likes jujube. The two sisters can't finish talking when they stay together. You know, on weekdays, if you don't guide, Liu Er won't take the initiative to speak. In addition, Liu Er, who is lazy and unwilling to move, often plays with jujube in the yard. Yuxi once murmured to mother Quan because of this. All Mammy to feel very normal, direct sister, and since childhood in a natural deep feelings.

With lunch, Yuxi with two small points in the house around Xiaoshi. Jujube took Liu er's hand in her right hand, pointed to the jujube tree in the yard in her left hand, and said, "sister, you can eat the jujubes on the tree in another three months. When the time comes, my sister will give you dates to eat. "

Liu Er cracked his mouth and said with a smile, "good."

The two sisters talked about the topic of dates. Of course, most of them are from jujube, and Liu Er just inserts a sentence occasionally.

A quarter of an hour later, Yuxi said to the two sisters, "go to bed in the house." Children should sleep more, so zaozao also keeps the habit of taking a nap.

The two sisters are going back to the house hand in hand. When crossing the steps, jujube didn't need the help of the people around her. She helped Liu Er step by step.

The smile in Yuxi's eyes couldn't be concealed. Zaozao was only four years old, so she knew how to take care of her sister. No matter how mischievous jujube is, Yuxi is very happy to have this idea at the age of four. What Yuxi doesn't know is that this is the credit of Huo Changqing. Huo Changqing often told zaozao that she was the elder sister and would take good care of her younger brother and sister. Listen to many, jujube also remember in mind.

On weekdays, Yuxi only sleeps for two quarters of an hour, but now the situation is special. Every time, Yuxi has to sleep for an hour to wake up.

"Bang when..." in his sleep, Yuxi heard a harsh voice, followed by the cry of the child.

Jade Xi Huo's once opened eyes, immediately got up to walk out of the room. Standing at the door, Yuxi saw the blue and white vat of carp playing with lotus in the yard pouring water.

Meiyun carefully said: "princess, the big girl smashed a hole in the VAT and got wet all over. The second girl was scared and cried."

Yuxi went to the ear room. At this time, mother Zeng and mother Quan were changing clothes for the two children. Because she had done something wrong, when she saw Da Yuxi, she shrank her head in a guilty way and called out softly: "Niang..."

Yuxi ignored jujube, went to Liu Er, and asked mother Quan: "Liu er's clothes are also wet?" Liu Er is not well. If she gets wet, she will catch cold.

Mother Quan shook her head and said, "Liu Er just wet her shoes and skirt, but not her clothes. It's jujube. I'm all wet. "“ One of them didn't notice, so zaozao smashed a hole in the water tank.

Yuxi didn't say anything, just went to help Liu Er change her clothes. After changing clothes, Yuxi took liu'er back to the bedroom, but didn't pay attention to jujube.

Zaozao knew that her mother was angry. She changed her clothes and went to the bedroom. To the bedroom, jujube honestly stood in the middle of the room, hanging his head and said: "Niang, I'm wrong."

Yuxi turned his head and asked, "are you wrong? Then tell me, what's wrong with you? " It was sincere and sincere to admit one's mistake, but in the twinkling of an eye, it was sabotaged again.

Jujube looked up at Yuxi and said, "Niang, I just want to see the fish in the VAT." Water lilies were planted in the VAT, and two carp were put in it. Because jujube is too short, usually to see the fish need people to hold it. Today, she didn't want to be held, she wanted to see for herself. So think about it, think about smashing the VAT, the fish will be able to see.

Yuxi is angry and funny: "if you want to see the fish, you can let mother Zeng hold you. What do you do when you smash the VAT?" This girl must be a black sheep when she grows up.

Zaozao shook his head and said, "Niang, didn't you say that fish can't live without water? When the VAT is smashed and the water comes out, the fish comes out with it. "

Yuxi doesn't know what his expression is. After half a sound, Yun Qing said, "I'll write 20 big characters tonight, and I'm not allowed to go to bed without one word." On weekdays, jujubes only need to write five big characters, which is three times the amount.

Looking at Yuxi with an angry face, jujube did not retort, but whispered: "Niang, I'm going to practice in the front yard. If I don't practice well, my grandfather will punish me when he comes back. "

Huo Changqing is different from Yuxi. He is a master who can play hard. If the date does not meet his requirements, light head a bowl of water standing pile, heavy is whipped. Yuxi can't bear to be punished. He can only say: "come back early and write big characters." With the growth of age, the girl's destructive power is also growing.

Every time at this time, Yuxi was very regretful. Let zaozao continue to practice martial arts with Huo Changqing, and it will only intensify in the future. If you want to correct the child, you can't follow Huo Changqing any more. You don't have to think about Yuxi to know that Huo Changqing won't agree.

Looking at the full mother who brought in water, Yuxi said: "Mammy, what do you think this child can do after going on like this?" If it goes on like this, she really can't control the girl.

All mammy said with a smile: "this child is naughty, and so big sensible like." It's a naughty time for a four-year-old.

Yuxi said bitterly with a face: "it's like this now, and it's too big to make trouble outside every day." At that time, she and Yunqing will have to follow in the aftermath.

Mother Quan still had a smile on her face: "you are worrying about nothing. Zaozao, the child, is more curious and energetic. Moreover, you can also think of it from another angle. Zaozao can think of a way to see the fish by smashing the fish tank, proving that she will find a way to solve the problem herself. It's great that a four-year-old can do that. "

Yu Xi sighed and said nothing more, because it was useless.
