Chapter 18
By the time Lin Yu came back from the village entrance, the sun had already set in the sky.
Huang Cui did not go to work today, so she cooked dinner. As soon as Lin Yu stepped into the door of her house, she heard Huang Cui murmuring: "My Erya has made such a great contribution, why haven't the rewards from the commune come out yet? Could it be that they were embezzled by the leaders?"
Lin Yu couldn't laugh or cry after hearing this: "The leaders are all fair and just people, how could they swallow such a small reward? Maybe it is a little slow because it needs to be handed over to experts for further analysis."
Huang Cui heard that it made sense and immediately felt relieved. The main reason is that when she goes out these days, she always hears other people talking: "That roller made by Erya is not easy to use, so the superiors don't give rewards——"
But it has obviously helped their village so much, how could it not be useful?
Although the loosening of the soil here has ended, even though spring has arrived further north, some ice and snow have not completely degraded. So the land there is still very solid. With the help of this machine made by Erya, the soil in those places will be loosened faster and sowing can catch up with the normal time.
As usual, it takes until April to loosen the soil and plant seeds. Most of the most important season of the year has been missed...
"I don't know what those leaders were thinking for so long..."
Huang Cui kept mumbling while moving her hands, carrying a bucket full of fertilizer and moving it to the corner of the yard, so that the odor would not drift into the front yard during the composting process and taint their mood for eating.
Lin Yu came over and took a look and said, "Mom, can you find some shells or bones, grind them up and sprinkle them in?"
Huang Cui wondered: "Why did you put those things in there?"
Lin Yu didn't bother to explain it to her from a scientific perspective and said: "There are many trace elements in bones and shells that can make these fertilizers more nutritious." When the time comes, she will add some rotten leaves and plants, and it will be even more nutritious!
Huang Cui doesn't understand this, but they have been heaping fertilizer like this for generations. But Lin Yu had an idea, so she was a little hesitant.
"If you say this suddenly, I won't be able to find those things for you..."
Boss Lin pushed open the door and walked in with a basket full of weeds. When he heard these words, he asked directly: "What do you want?"
"Your daughter said she wanted to break some bones or shells into pieces and put them in the compost..."
When Lin Jiancheng goes out these days, he is praised for his daughter's potential, praised for his good upbringing, and told that it's time for him to enjoy happiness. When I think about it, Erya is indeed a capable person and has read a lot of books. The few books that Da Ya left behind were turned over and over again, and they were almost torn by Er Ya.
"Since Erya has an idea, just listen to her. If something goes wrong, let's pile some fertilizer. Go to the county tomorrow and have a look..."
Nowadays, all land is owned by the public, and fertilizers are also provided by the public. The few buckets of fertilizer they piled up were only used on their own vegetable plots and some of their own land. There was nothing they couldn't try.
Huang Cui agreed when she heard that her daughter was now a promising person, and she was indeed going to the county tomorrow.
Erya made such a big thing, so he had to go to the county to express his congratulations to Da Ya.
"Now that the family is divided, it's time to let Daya know."
Huang Cui put the bucket aside and closed the lid, waiting to go to the county tomorrow to see if she could find the things Erya wanted. There is a food processing factory in the county, and there is a village near the sea in the distance. You should be able to find those shells at the food processing factory, but I don’t know the price?
Lin Yu looked at his parents who were discussing their trip to the city tomorrow and asked, "Mom, are you going to my eldest sister's place tomorrow?"
"Yes! Your eldest sister has been married to the city for a few months. She can't always come back to see us. We have to go and see her too. Your dad and I are planning to go to the city to buy some things... along the way." Is there a vegetable patch? Bring some good food to Da Ya, but it’s really not possible to go next door to exchange for some eggs.
If they don't buy some whole grains, their whole grains will be at the bottom due to Erya being so busy.
Lin Yu remembered that he had been cooking hard rice every day recently, and he was a little embarrassed and did not participate in the discussion.
I thought that my parents couldn't bring nothing to my eldest sister's place, but the house was empty, and even the vegetable patch had few edible vegetables.
But in the past few months, my eldest sister brought back a lot of good things, including candies, eggs, and snacks from the supply and marketing cooperative. Although they all went into the mouths of those people, compared to some of the vegetables that Grandma Lin asked her to take back, they were really stingy.
If her father hadn't secretly stuffed her with a few dollars, her sister's mother-in-law would have turned against her a long time ago, right?
Huang Cui was still talking at this time: "If your sister hadn't been good at reading and good-looking, she wouldn't have been able to marry into the city. So Erya, you should read the books your sister left behind often! Don't just read them one day. forgotten!"
Lin Yu was helpless: "Mom, I know!"
At this time, Lin Fei ran back from the door with a small slingshot. He was dirty, but his face was full of happiness. He was different from the timid appearance before, and he was much more cheerful.
Lin Yu went over and touched his little head: "Did you have fun today?" Lin Fei's face was full of joy, his eyes were sparkling, and the slingshot in his hand was deliberately raised, making Lin Yu take a closer look: "Happy! This was given to me by Uncle Ju’s little treasure to play with!”
"What about your little one?"
"...Let's play different." When he said this, Lin Fei glanced at Lin Yu with some uneasiness.
Lin Yu smiled and said, "You can make your own decisions about your toys."
Seeing that Lin Yu didn't mean to blame him, Lin Fei showed a big smile: "Thank you, sister!"
slingshot……
Lin Yu narrowed her eyes, pushed Lin Fei towards her parents and said something, then opened the door and left: "Mom and Dad! I'll go out first and come back later. You don't have to wait for me to eat!"
When Huang Cui turned around, Lin Yu's figure had disappeared. The sun is setting in the sky, its dim light is scattered across the village, and smoke is rising in the distance.
"Every household is preparing dinner now. Where is Erya going?" Huang Cui muttered, but Lin Jiancheng didn't care about so much. He concentrated on getting these buckets of fertilizer and put them away, and then said: "Erya She’s a big kid and she has a mind of her own.”
Captain Lin said that enlightened parents should not care about this child's actions. A sensible child like Erya naturally has what she wants to do.
Lin Yu didn't know that after she made the roller crawler, the parents above her head felt more at ease with her and allowed her to run around outside near dusk.
She knocked on the door. Old man Zhou was about to make dinner. I was a little surprised to see Lin Yu when I opened the door. Why did this baby come to his place during dinner if he didn't go home at this hour?
