In August, the saplings planted in early spring were full of vitality, sprouting many tender buds. They were growing vigorously.

What Director Niu is most concerned about now is whether this jujube grove can be revitalized.

If their farm experiment is successful, it will be a major breakthrough, demonstrating that crops can be grown on such barren land.

The cornfields near Blackwater Pool are already bearing tender corn.

It is evident that the He family's method of soil improvement was remarkably effective.

Director Niu is becoming more and more assertive when he goes to meetings in the county, and he has been praised by his superiors many times.

"Comrade Li Ying, and Comrade He Jianguo, you two keep up the good work! Whether we can harvest fruit again next year is crucial to the county's production decisions!"

He Jianguo used to be the head of the family business, but he had never been as nervous as he was now because of a single sentence.

They were afraid they wouldn't do a good job.

"Director Niu, don't worry, we'll plant jujube trees using scientific methods. You can expect to eat jujubes the size of eggs next year!"

Director Niu knew it was impossible for an egg to be that big, but it just sounded nice.

"You two continue, I have something to do."

After Director Niu left, He Jianguo reminded him, "How could you boast like that? If Director Niu took it seriously and we can't grow this fruit, who will take the blame?"

Li Ying now completely trusts her daughter-in-law, and does whatever Yu Lian says.

"Lianlian said yes!"

He Jianguo shook his head. His daughter-in-law was capable, but she wasn't an agricultural expert. Even agricultural experts wouldn't dare say they could grow red dates as big as eggs.

"Lianlian is capable, but we have to be realistic and not brag."

Li Ying grew impatient and sat down under the shed to avoid the sun.

"Okay, just you wait and see, I'm sure it will work!"

Li Ying, who had confidence in her son and daughter-in-law, never expected this.

Right now, in the room where the child is fast asleep.

Yu Lian was in the space, looking at the eggs and red dates that were as big as eggs, which were nourished by the spiritual spring water.

She only dared to say it jokingly after she had tried it herself.

The amount of spiritual spring water will not affect the crop yield. As long as the land uses spiritual spring water, the nutrients can be continuously supplied, making it an exceptionally fertile field.

This was something she had heard from her father.

Now, basically, the farmland where she worked has been improved.

Take a bite of a fresh red date, and you'll find its delicate aroma mingled with its sweetness—it's absolutely delicious.

Hearing the child crying, Yu Lian quickly went out to check the situation.

After more than a month of careful care, Manman's weight gain is not as fast as her two older brothers, but she is definitely growing.

The doctor said that as long as the weight changes are normal, there is no need to worry too much.

Meanwhile, He Xinglan's literacy class, after more than a month of adjustment, was gradually getting into a stable state. These children had caused her a lot of trouble, but overall, she had managed to keep some of the unruly children in check during class.

The He family's life is getting better and better, and the farm's production is also constantly climbing.

This thriving trend continued for two years.

"Today, the President of Country X will be visiting China in November. This is the first time in decades that a leader of that country has set foot on this land..."

Li Ying came over and turned off the radio.

She glared at her husband with dissatisfaction. "I sent you to watch the kids, but you were listening to a recording and fell asleep! The kids are all lying on the floor, sleeping like they're dead!"

After saying that, he kicked it.

He warned in a low voice, "Keep your voice down and go back to your room to sleep."

I don't know how long my granddaughter slept on the ground; it would be bad if she caught a cold.

She immediately wrapped the child in a blanket.

After the autumn harvest, the farming season begins.

Besides grinding flour and repairing irrigation ditches, everyone chopped firewood and stored supplies for the winter.

This year also marks the first harvest of fruit from these seedlings, with an astonishing yield per acre.

This time, Hongxing Farm has become famous throughout the country.

Leaders came to inspect the site several times, as did reporters from the newspaper.

Director Niu has been improving everyone's meals for several months now.

Because of their outstanding performance, the He family's current political status can be said to be greater than before.

Through his own efforts, he improved his living environment, and his situation went from hell to heaven.

Even now, Li Ying still can't believe how easy her life has become.

The treatment they received back then was nothing compared to the two years of exposure to the wind and sun in the jujube grove.

"Mom, what are you cooking?"

He Xinglan came straight over after class; now she's become her sister-in-law's specially appointed "child king/queen."

All she had to do was look after the children and supervise her nephews' meals when she wasn't around, and she could earn thirty yuan a month.

He Xinglan naturally accepted the job without hesitation, after all, as a young girl, she had many expenses.

However, she often felt uneasy about earning this money.

For no other reason than that my sister-in-law has raised her child so well.

At an age when she couldn't even speak clearly, she could sit neatly and orderly at mealtimes, and eat independently under her brother's command, without needing anyone to take care of her.

They will also express any needs they have, and except when they are sleeping at night, they will usually tell the adults the moment before they poop.

So when she got back, she lay down on the wooden chair to grade homework, and since the children were sleeping, she could finally have some peace and quiet.

These little rascals are great in every way, except they talk too much. I seriously suspect they were mute in their past lives.

After a good afternoon nap, the children woke up from their own beds.

An'an was woken up by the noise and belatedly got up to help her younger siblings get dressed.

"Thank you so much."

"Thank you, brother!"

Hehe and Suisui speak in sync and look almost the same.

My younger sister, Manman, is not speaking very clearly because of her development.

You're welcome.

Six-year-old An'an is now a big, talkative, and capable child.

Her personality hasn't changed much; she's still as sensible and likable as ever.

"Grandma, Mommy wants Mommy."

When Manman opened her eyes and couldn't see her mother, she started looking for her.

He Ning'an coaxed softly, "Mom will be back soon, little sister, put your clothes on."

Li Ying recalled that the child had probably woken up in the middle of the night and couldn't find his mother, so he was too sleepy to stay awake and fell asleep on the floor.

"Come here, Manman, come to Grandma's. Let's warm up by the stove and drink some sweet egg soup, okay?"

Upon hearing that there was something sweet to eat, the little one immediately stopped looking for his mother.

I hurried over, climbed onto the stool, and sat next to my grandmother, waiting to be fed.

As a grandmother, I can't be biased; everyone present gets a share.

Just as everyone was sitting around the stove to warm themselves, Yu Lian returned.

Just now, she led the female educated youths of the production team to send express delivery and fertilize the less desirable plants. In recent years, Yu Lian has not only relied on the spiritual spring water.

I bought many books on agriculture to study, and even wrote to agricultural experts at the address in the agricultural newspaper to ask them questions about soil conditions.

I gained a lot of useful knowledge.

It can be said that Yu Lian is now the top expert in agricultural knowledge and planting on the farm.

"You're back. Quickly have a bowl of brown sugar and egg soup. Did He Lin say how long he'd be back?"

Yu Lian was unaware that He Lin was currently riding high on his popularity.

Since resuming production, he has traveled to various places to learn and exchange ideas, and the tractors he has been using have become more and more powerful with each iteration.

I heard that the last stop of this speech was Yuncheng. I wonder how he felt about returning to his hometown.
