Chapter 292 New Grain Varieties

Upon hearing this, everyone felt as if they had woken up from their morning drowsiness.

What good news does the old lady of the Wang family have for them this time?

Actually, they had long felt embarrassed because ever since Ayu came to the Wang family, their entire village had been carried along by the Wang family.

Putting aside the initial life-saving grace, let's talk about the grain seeds. Not every household in the village rented land from the Wang family, so some people's harvests were far inferior.

Even so, after the "divine rain" and with the composting recipe given by Grandma Wang, their harvest was much better.

Insufficient than above, more than below.

I borrowed some more from other neighbors who had extra money, and this year I'm not struggling at all.

The villagers all remember this kindness. If they hunted and only caught one animal, they would eat it themselves. If they had two, they would share half with Old Wang's family.

If you have a lot stored up and want to sell it in town, you have to send half of it to Old Wang's house first.

Regardless of whether they need it or not, I will still send my regards.

Many of the wives, when making shoes and socks, would include Xiao Ayu's share, and when someone went to town, they would have someone take it with them.

Old Wang's family accepted everything, and sometimes they would even pack a few steamed buns or mantou for them. They couldn't bear to eat or take it for free, so they would sell it to them or give it away for free.

That's why people say the Wang family is kind and generous.

Even when Wang Jia Dalang was getting married, the girls from Dahe Village were chosen by the villagers after they had subtly inquired around the area.

They were afraid that if the Wang family went by themselves, the matchmakers would hold a grudge and wouldn't tell them the truth.

Aunt Hu was the leader among them, running around the most enthusiastically, which Old Wang's family was unaware of.

She was considered a very good girl in the surrounding villages. In their eyes, she was pretty, clever, and from a decent family. She had even attended school for two years. She was good enough to marry off to the sons and grandsons of a landlord.

"Sister-in-law Wang, what's the matter? Is it about Dalang's wedding?" the village chief's wife asked.

There are only two major events in their family right now: one is that Wang's second son, who is in school, and his grandson are going to take the imperial examination in the spring, and the other is Wang Dalang's wedding.

Grandma Wang said, "We'll talk about Dalang's marriage later. What I want to talk about today is the seeds for next spring's harvest." Upon hearing this, everyone was no longer sleepy.

Grain seeds!
The Wang family's grain crops resulted in a bumper harvest!
The crops in the fields are still growing lush and green, and it looks like another bumper harvest is on the horizon.

"Auntie, do you have any better grain seeds?"

They had already made plans to select some of the better grains they had grown as seeds, so they wouldn't need to buy them from grain and oil shops.

It can save a lot of money.

“There are better ones, but they’re not the ones that everyone’s planting now. They’re some new beans that we’re not growing in our village,” said Grandma Wang. “I’m just mentioning them to see if you’d like to plant them. I’m not forcing you.”

Each family made money, but they still couldn't bear to use it to buy land. They first paid off their debts, then repaired their houses, and used the money to treat the sick. There wasn't much left.

Therefore, the Wang family still needs to rent their land.

Someone said with difficulty, "Is it a good crop? Aunt Wang, it's not that we want to find fault, it's just that we were afraid of being poor before."

“Yes, I understand. You can plant whatever you want on the land you rent. The rules will still be the same as before, it doesn’t matter.” Old Mrs. Wang even thought about buying up all the land in the village, but then she abandoned the idea.

Even the tallest tree catches the most wind; we must also leave something for the villagers to remember.

The Wang family bought it all. Now, if the villagers want to buy other land, they won't have anywhere to buy it, which will inevitably lead to resentment and enmity.

Even with the land that the Wang family already owns, Old Mrs. Wang plans to reduce her holdings and buy more land from other villages.

Or you could buy some along the way and build a separate estate there later.

The village chief's family also cultivates Wangjiadi land, but not much, only about one mu.

She smiled and said, "Over the years, Aunt Wang has never let us suffer any losses, so I trust her. How about this: besides the one mu of land we rent, we'll set aside another six mu to grow the new grain varieties you mentioned. The rented land will be sold according to the rules, and we'll buy our own land at the price of the grain varieties. What do you think?"

Grandma Wang smiled and nodded: "Of course."

She's definitely the kind of person who could be the village chief's wife; she's not stupid.

It's 2:30 AM now. I'm typing too slowly, so I'll stop here for now. I have to work tomorrow. Goodnight.
