Era: I was a farmer at the foot of Yaoling Mountain

Chapter 58 Rescuing People in the River
this day.

Fang Wei and his elder brother went into the mountains early and harvested soybeans in the valley.

Soybeans can be grown three times a year locally, and the growth cycle of one season does not exceed 90 days, approximately 75 to 80 days.

Fang Wei specially adjusted the attribute values. The soybeans this season will mature in about 48 days.

It took the two brothers two days to harvest the soybeans and transport them home.

Next, it needs to be dried and threshed, and only after these processes are completed can it be weighed.

In the end, a total of 112 kilograms of soybeans were harvested from half an acre of land, which is equivalent to 224 kilograms per acre.

The average yield of local soybeans per mu in a season is about 150-160 kilograms, but now it exceeds 200 kilograms, which is still very good.

"Third brother, these soybeans are preliminarily screened and we use them for seed."

Fang Ping is very experienced. These soybeans all come from strong plants, and the seeds selected from them are of higher quality.

Fang Ping nodded, turned back and screened again, selecting a total of 20 kilograms of soybeans for seed.

"Brother, these soybean seeds need to be stored separately. It's best to separate them from other crop seeds. Don't mix them."

These 20 kilograms of soybeans are equivalent to the first generation of seeds cultivated by Fang Wei, among which the accelerated growth property is the most obvious.

In order to maintain the purity of the seeds, they must be isolated from other species to avoid any contamination caused by insects or wind.

"Okay, I understand."

Fang Ping didn't think his third brother's request was too high. He himself was not very educated and just wanted to be obedient.

Now everyone in the village likes to call his third brother "little scholar", and he agrees with it from the bottom of his heart.

Fang Wei smiled, didn't explain much, and then went to the experimental field.

Soybeans occupy a very important position in his mind. Nowadays, people's protein intake is seriously insufficient. As soybeans are rich in plant protein, it cannot be overemphasized.

"Third brother, are you here?"

When Fang Wei walked to the edge of the field, Zheng Hu came forward to meet him.

"I came to check, is there anything wrong?"

"What's the problem? It's growing well. Third brother, we caught some snails today. How about we stir-fry them tonight?"

"Okay, let's go to Uncle Guan's place tonight."

The two of them walked around the experimental field while talking.

Just as Hu Zi said, what meets the eye is a thriving scene, and from time to time you can see six ducks foraging in the rice fields.

These days, the ducklings are growing up, especially Fang Wei's six ducks, which look a lot bigger than the ducks in the production team.

The dozens of ducks in the production team were usually raised in the fields, while his own six ducks were raised in the experimental fields and they were never mixed together.

Every morning, Taotao and Tingting would drive the ducks to the experimental field and then drive the chickens at home to the foot of the mountain.

In the afternoon, the chickens and ducks will return to the poultry house on their own.

Just feed the chickens and ducks some feed around dusk every day, and they are mainly free-range.

"Third brother, are we going to dry the fields these two days?"

Seeing that Fang Wei didn't mention the follow-up arrangements, Zheng Hu took the initiative to ask.

"Of course you need to dry the fields. There's no need to ask me about this kind of thing in the future. Just arrange it yourself."

Fang Wei will keep an eye on everything in secret, but will not always interfere with Zheng Hu's work.

Now it seems that his approach is correct. The other party is also growing rapidly. Zheng Hu has a clear idea of what to do and when.

night.

A group of friends gathered at Guan Chongyang's place to eat snails. Snails don't have much meat, but they all taste the same.

It’s a pity that there is no wine. Snails and wine are a perfect match.

"Old Third, why don't you call Old Wu over to eat the snails?"

Uncle Guan was enjoying his meal very much, but suddenly he thought of Wu Maosheng and wondered why he didn't come today.

"Mr. Wu doesn't eat this stuff, including frogs and loaches. He won't eat anything."

Zheng Hu quickly responded. They all knew Wu Maosheng's eating habits, so they didn't call him. A large plate of fried snails was quickly devoured. Everyone helped clean up the mess and agreed to go bathe in the river together.

As the weather gets hotter, more and more people are bathing in the river. After all, bathing at home is not very pleasant. The river water level has not dropped this year, so everyone is having a great time.

When they got to the river, a large group of adults and children had already arrived.

There were quite a few women, but their bathing areas were far apart and they wouldn't gather together with the men.

Fang Wei can swim and is quite good at it, but it was already dark and he didn't go to the middle of the river.

It’s not like I’m not wearing anything anyway, so I’m not afraid of being seen by others.

Only children would just play in the river without any care, while others still had to cover up their ugliness.

Fang Wei hadn't been so relaxed for a long time. He lay on the water with his head tilted back, gently sliding on the waves.

Stars twinkled overhead, the sound of flowing water came to my ears, and I unknowingly walked away from the crowd.

"Wenfu, where have you been, you little brat?"

"Wenfu. Wenfu"

Fang Wei was enjoying a pleasant time when he suddenly heard someone shouting.

He quickly turned over, treading water in the river, and looked around.

The visibility was very good tonight, so he was shocked when he saw it.

Not far away, a little guy was struggling in the water. It seemed that he could not hold on any longer, and his hands and feet were becoming weaker and weaker.

He swam over there quickly, but he did not rush to lift the little guy. Instead, he seized the opportunity and grabbed one of the other's feet.

Then he swam back to the shore dragging the little guy backwards.

"Third brother, good job! Quick, lift Wen Fuzi upside down, he's choking on water."

Zheng Hu and others often went to the river to catch fish and shrimp. They ran over first, gave Fang Wei a thumbs up, and began to provide first aid.

It was not until this moment that Fang Wei saw clearly that "Wenfu" was a little boy of six or seven years old. He was held upside down by Hu Zi and the others. He vomited a few times and then burst into tears.

His heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally settled down.

At this time, Wenfu's mother ran over, and Zheng Hu put the child down and handed him to her.

The child's mother was so nervous that she held her son in her arms. She cried while checking him. When she found that he was fine, she slapped his little butt hard several times.

"You little devil, you scared me to death."

Then she remembered Wenfu's savior and knelt on the ground facing Fang Wei and others.

"Thank you, little scholar! Thank you everyone!"

"Sister-in-law, please get up quickly. This is not allowed."

Fang Wei quickly moved away, and a group of women who arrived later came to persuade Wen Funiang.

He took the opportunity to leave the scene, picked up his belongings and clothes, and turned back home.

the next day.

Zheng Xianfa urgently convened a meeting and scolded Wen Funiang harshly at the meeting.

"What's the use of being a woman like you? You can't even take care of a child. This little brat is too naughty. I must teach him a lesson. Let's see if he dares to go into deep water next time.
Here I want to praise the young scholar. He saved Wenfu's life, which is equivalent to saving Wenfu's family.

From now on, when you go to the river to bathe, you must pay attention to safety, especially keep an eye on your children."

He then praised Fang Wei and emphasized safety precautions.

After the meeting, Fang Wei went to the experimental field.

Speaking of which, this incident was really a coincidence, and it was Wenfu's destiny.

When he heard the screams, he happened to find the child not far away and saved his life.

If Wenfu was far away, he might not be able to spot the child even if the visibility was good at night.
