    That day, the three old people had a really tiring day and finally managed to plant 6,000 sweet potato seedlings on the flat ground of the canyon.

    Corn and pumpkins were also planted.

    Next, Qiao Mu discussed with them again and agreed to take a day off before continuing to plant the sweet potato seedlings. She would find a way to plant the sweet potato seedlings. Although Qiao Fuhua felt a little strange and wondered where Qiao Mu got so many sweet potato seedlings, he did not ask in the end.  , anyway, this is something that is good for their village, why bother to get to the bottom of it.

    So, for the next two weeks, they were really tired. Every other day they had to go to the canyons on the mountains and in some hidden places on the two mountains to plant thousands of sweet potatoes until the two weeks were over.  , they have planted a hundred thousand sweet potato seedlings on the mountain.

    Sixty thousand of them are planted in the flat land in the canyon, filling the flat land, and the remaining 40,000 are scattered and planted in some hidden corners of the two mountains. Those 60,000 are the ones they need to focus on taking care of.  Yes, the remaining 40,000 seedlings are scattered quite scattered, and I really canĄŻt take care of them even if I want to. I donĄŻt have that much energy and time, so I can only let those seedlings be left to their fate.

    After planting the last sweet potato seedling, the three of them slumped down on an oval stone with some fatigue, looked at the sweet potato seedlings all over the ground, and smiled:

    "Grandma, you are right!

    It still hasnĄŻt rained in the past half month, and the ground has been extremely dry. Food is probably really in short supply this season. The canteen was completely emptied two days ago. There is no food at all, so we can only disperse. Now everyone is even  I canĄŻt even water it!

    We are also grateful to you for bringing us a few sweet potatoes every day. Otherwise, we would not have the energy to plant these sweet potato seedlings. These will be life-saving food in two or three months. Our whole village must remember your contribution. This is a great merit!  "

    Ą°IĄŻm not afraid of ten thousand, IĄŻm just afraid of what happens.

    By the way, didnĄŻt you discuss applying for relief from the higher authorities some time ago?  What was the result of the application?  You probably didnĄŻt apply!  "

    Qiao Mu said a few words modestly, and then asked about what the villagers were most concerned about now. Everyone was really about to eat grass roots at this time, so it was inevitable that they hoped that the village captain could apply for some relief from the commune.  , many people in the village have been standing at the end of the village in the past two days, eagerly waiting to hear some good news.

    "Grandma, you are still smart!

    We didnĄŻt apply, but the team leader never dared to say it, fearing that everyone would be even more desperate if there was no hope. The commune said that many places are short of food this year, and asked us to take good care of the food in the fields and pay the food tax this year.  .

    I donĄŻt know how much I will pay!

    I heard that people in Wangjia Village next door have begun to starve to death. God really doesnĄŻt want people to survive.  "

    As he spoke, Qiao Fuhua's voice couldn't help but grow lower, and there was a hint of sadness in his tone. He didn't know whether it was for the villagers or for the man who starved to death in Wangjia Village next door.

    After all, the lips are dead and the teeth are cold!

    Ą°How much does it have to do with God?

    ItĄŻs not like you havenĄŻt seen how lazy the people in our village have been this year. The water in the river has not dried up yet, but look at how many people are fetching water to irrigate the fields. Everyone is waiting for those tens of thousands of kilograms per mu.  The local area is allocating relief food!

    The current completely fair system cannot last long. It is estimated that it will have to be changed sooner or later. Otherwise, how many people will be willing to work hard to farm.

    It doesnĄŻt matter whether you plant it or not!

    Forget it, letĄŻs not talk about this anymore. When reporting grain production this year, we must not follow the example of other villages and report too much. The output per mu is the amount. If we report more, with this yearĄŻs grain output, our village will not be able to report more.  They all have to starve to death!  "

    After Qiao Mu heard Qiao Fuhua say that God would not give people a way to live, she couldn't help but retort.

    Throughout the first half of this year, the villagers did not plant much with peace of mind. They almost planted carelessly and carelessly. Not to mention the drought weather this year, even if there was no drought weather, this kind of farming attitude would not yield much food.

    Ą°ThatĄŻs what you said, grandma!

    But there is nothing we can do about the policies above. We can only follow the policies above.

    ???????????????????????????? But this year we really canĄŻt continue to overreport the grain output. If you want to be dismissed, just be dismissed. As long as it can keep everyone alive, itĄŻs worth it to be dismissed!Ą±

    I have to persuade the captain in a while!

    Ą°We canĄŻt strive for excellence this time. ItĄŻs okay not to have such excellence that costs peopleĄŻs lives.

    ?? Okay, grandma, itĄŻs almost time to rest. LetĄŻs go down the mountain. It will get dark soon!  "

    Qiao Fuhua responded with a few sentences and looked at the sky again, which means that we are going back down the mountain now.

    "The trees don't matter, they will naturally follow."

    She had just come down the mountain and before she got home, she saw someone knocking on the door with a bamboo basket. When she took a closer look, that person was her little girl, Qiao Hua!

    ??Hurry and say hello from a distance:

    Ą°HuaĄŻer, mother is here!

    wait a minute!  "

    With that said, Qiao Mu quickened his pace and walked quickly home. Qiao Hua also heard Qiao Mu's cry at this time. She was afraid that Qiao Mu would fall down if she walked too fast, so she hurried to meet her.

    "Mom, you are not at home at this time, why are you going up the mountain? Don't excuse me, I just saw you coming from the foot of the mountain!

    Is there nothing to eat at home?

    Mom, donĄŻt worry, I brought you some sweet potatoes. I secretly planted these sweet potatoes in the yard. They taste so sweet now. They are all in the basket. I wonĄŻt show them to you now. IĄŻll give them to you later.  Put it in the back room!

    Brother, didnĄŻt they send anything over?  "

    Qiao Hua was worried and complaining at the same time. She was worried about Qiao Mu's physical condition, but she was complaining about her two brothers who didn't know how to bring something to them when the canteen was closed.

    Ą°ItĄŻs okay, IĄŻll go for a walk in the mountains!

    "You see, I didn't come down empty-handed, and I'm not short of food. You secretly planted sweet potatoes at home, and I secretly planted them at home too!"

    IsnĄŻt the canteen closed?  I can't go out all day long and still have something to eat while staying at home. Wouldn't that be obvious to others that I secretly grow things?  Therefore, I go to the mountains every now and then. I donĄŻt go far, I just wander around for a while and then come back, just to show off!

    Ą°DonĄŻt leave the sweet potatoes to me. I donĄŻt have any shortage here for the time being. By the way, come in with me.  "

    As they talked, the two of them walked to the door of Qiao Mu's house. Qiao Mu opened the door in time and went in, and took Qiao Hua into the back room.

    He took out a bag of cornmeal from the original grain cabinet in the back room and said with a smile:

    Ą°The last time I went into the county, I saw someone selling cornmeal, so I bought a lot. This time you happened to come over and take the cornmeal back.

    Give the child a piece of cake to eat if itĄŻs okay!

    IĄŻm not very capable of being a grandma, so IĄŻll just make do with this little cornmeal!  "(Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
