The farmer has a mall

Chapter 705 is about to give birth

Wei Hong discussed with the Seventh Grandfather about ancestor worship. Gu Nanyan didn't understand these things, so he listened quietly from the sidelines.

The seventh grandfather's name is Wei Liang, and he is the seventh in the family. The brothers and sisters in front of him have passed away in the early years, and he is the only one left in this generation.

Wei Liang only gave birth to two daughters and one son, and Wei Houdong who came with him today is the son of his only son.

Wei Houdong was only twenty years old, honest and honest, with a shy personality. He sat on the guest chair with his back stiff and didn't say a word.

It was rare for Ning Tianlu to see an elder brother who was about his age, and he wanted to get closer to him, so he found a topic to talk to him.

"I heard from Grandpa Seven that you rented two acres of land in the suburbs of the capital. I don't know what to plant. Is it enough for food and clothing?" He asked Wei Houdong in a gentle tone.

"At the beginning, I planted some corn and soybeans, and I can still... have enough food and clothing."

Wei Houdong scratched his nails nervously, his dark face turned red, and he secretly glanced at Gu Nanyan after he finished speaking.

Ning Tianlu immediately heard the key point in his words.

"Oh?" He looked curious.

"Then what did you plant after that?"

Wei Houdong licked his dry mouth uneasily, and replied cautiously: "Later, the government issued improved wheat seeds, and let every village grow some."

He secretly glanced at Gu Nanyan again.

Gu Nanyan felt it, raised his eyes and looked back, and met his gaze.

Wei Houdong was startled, and hurriedly looked away.

He lowered his head and muttered: "At that time, the land in our village was already planted with crops, and no one was willing to shovel the original seeds. Only my grandfather heard that it was the high-yield wheat seed given to Anyang by the princess. So they pulled out all the corn that had sprouted, and planted wheat on the two mu of land."

After finishing speaking, he boldly raised his head, and smiled honestly at Gu Nanyan: "Thanks to you, our family had a good harvest last year, and I even wore new clothes during the Chinese New Year."

Wei Houdong lowered his head and touched the not-too-thick cotton coat on his body, looking very cherished.

Gu Nanyan also looked at the clothes on his body.

The cuffs and elbows, the places that are most prone to wear and tear, are still patched, but he says they are new.

Gu Nanyan guessed that his so-called new clothes should only have changed the cotton wool inside.

It seems that after General Wei's accident, the life of each branch of the Wei family is really difficult.

At least that's how she saw this one.

Gu Nanyan picked up the teacup and took a sip before asking, "Is this winter also planting wheat?"

"Yes, my grandfather saw that the harvest was good, so he rented an extra acre of land and planted all of it with wheat."

"Then how much impact will this snow disaster have on the farmland?" Gu Nanyan asked again.

Wei Houdong hesitated for a moment, then glanced in the direction of his grandfather.

Wei Liang was talking to Wei Hong and didn't pay attention to their side.

"We are also planting wheat in winter for the first time. It is not clear whether the impact will be significant. I am afraid it will take a few days to see."

Speaking of this, Wei Houdong was very worried.

Their whole family relies on these three acres of land to support them. If there is no harvest, the whole family will starve.

Seeing that he was depressed, Gu Nanyan thought for a moment to comfort him: "There is no need to worry so much, winter wheat is extremely resistant to cold, so it shouldn't be a big problem."

"And the snow is actually good for the growth of wheat. Maybe this year will be a bumper harvest."

In modern times, there is a saying that goes, "In winter, the three-layer quilt is covered with wheat, and in the coming year, you will sleep on your pillow with steamed buns."

Snow can not only enhance the cold resistance of wheat, but the cold snow water is also a natural insecticide, so snow is actually good for wheat crops.

Gu Nanyan glanced at Wei Houdong.

In the final analysis, Wei Liang's lineage is also the Wei family. Before the old General Wei's accident, he lived a life without worrying about food and clothing.

Before Old General Wei dismissed the side branches, every household had given some money. In the first few years, Wei Liang's family could have a full meal relying on this money, and never thought that they would be reduced to farming in the countryside.

It's just that in the past few years, forced by the situation, he has lived the life of Tian Sheweng.

As for farming, they are not good at it.

Otherwise, it would not have been possible to grow soybeans, which are an excellent food to feed, but not many people are willing to eat.

With Gu Nanyan's guarantee, Wei Houdong finally let go of a heart that he had been carrying for many days.

He looked at Gu Nanyan with some admiration: "I didn't expect the princess to know this."

It's no wonder that people can grow wheat with such a high yield per mu, and they know how to farm land better than the villagers like them.

Ning Tianlu smiled and said, "Brother doesn't know. Sister Nan also stayed in the village for a few years, and the products produced in her plantation base are also sold in Anyang. Now even Daliangguo is preparing for a branch."

With some complacency, Ning Tianlu praised his cousin fiercely.

Gu Nanyan, a woman whose nerves are thicker than her fingers, has always been guilty of boasting.

When it comes to farming, she is just a mouthful. All her experience is read from books, and then she hires veteran farmers to help her with the work.

She herself has no actual combat experience.

Gu Nanyan was afraid that the simple and honest man across from him would ask her about farming, so she hurriedly smiled dryly and perfunctorily.

"Princess, miss, please go to the backyard." A fifteen or sixteen-year-old maid trotted in and said to Gu Nanyan anxiously.

Wei Hong, who was sitting at the top, heard the words and asked: "What happened, but Miss is not feeling well?"

Wei Hong was taken aback by the flustered look of the little maid, who thought Liu Zhenzhen was not feeling well.

"Master, it's... the tiger brought back by Miss seems to be giving birth." The little maid said.

……

When Gu Nanyan arrived at the backyard, Liu Zhenzhen was guarding beside the tigress anxiously.

The tigress was lying on the ground with a thick quilt under her body, and her breathing was a little short.

Perhaps because of the unfamiliar environment, the tigress is very vigilant.

After hearing the footsteps, it immediately looked up and saw that it was Gu Nanyan who lay back down again.

"Sister Nan, come here quickly." Sitting on a small wooden bench, Liu Zhenzhen beckoned to her anxiously.

"Huhu's daughter-in-law seems to be about to give birth, please show it quickly."

It's no wonder that Liu Zhenzhen was so anxious. She was also very nervous about giving birth as a pregnant woman. In addition, the tigress was very defensive and would never let others approach her. Liu Zhenzhen did not dare to call a doctor for it.

Hearing that Gu Nanyan was in the front hall, he had no choice but to invite her over.

Upon hearing the words, Gu Nanyan approached without slowing down with his hands behind his back.

Huhu was also watching by the side, seeing Gu Nanyan approaching, Hu Hu's eyes flashed surprise, he ran to Gu Nanyan's side with a whimper, picked up the hem of her clothes, and dragged her towards his wife.

"Scatter it, you will pay if you bite it!" Gu Nanyan angrily pulled back the hem of the clothes, and gave Huhu a brain jump.

Huhu was obviously absent-minded, instead of baring his teeth at Gu Nanyan as usual, he whined again.

This sound was full of anxiety, and he looked eagerly at her and then at the tigress, stretching out his big paws to grab Gu Nanyan's trouser legs.

Gu Nanyan flashed past deftly, rolled his eyes and squatted down beside the tigress.

Seeing her reach out to touch her stomach, the tigress let out a tight growl and stared at her hand defensively.

"Take care of your daughter-in-law, bite me and skin you." Gu Nanyan threatened her tiger while pressing her stomach lightly.

It is impossible to bite her, for fear that it will explode suddenly and hurt or frighten Liu Zhenzhen who is beside her.

Liu Zhenzhen still has two things in her belly, if she gets scared, who will compensate her little nephew?
Huhu tilted his head when he heard the words, and after he figured out what Gu Nanyan meant, he quickly lay down and licked the big head of the tigress comfortingly.
