Scholar’s Sweetheart - Chapter 439
The warmth of the two did not last long, but they were interrupted by the cries of the twins.
Two people directly push the door and enter, excitedly rush to Lu Yunkai, quickly climb on his body, chattering.
“Dad, you’re back.”
“Dad, we miss you so much, so much, so much.”
“Dad, we’ve been waiting for you for a long time, and you don’t go home. We’ll come to you with our mother, sister, grandmother, Daya and Huahua.”
“Guess what I brought you, Dad.” Huajuan sits on the side of Lu Yunkai’s hand, with a mysterious face.
Lu Yunkai has smelled a spicy smell of dried meat, “it’s dried meat.”
“Eh, Dad, how can you guess all of a sudden? It’s really boring.” Roll helpless show hand.
“Dad is the smartest man in our family. He must have guessed it all at once.” Song Xintong sat up and held the steamed bread in his arms. Did you wake up? ”
The steamed bread was leaning against song Xintong’s arms, and his little face was flushed when he just woke up. “I heard them say that my father came back, so I woke up.”
“Dad, my brother and I made this jerky for you. You can taste it.” Take a roll and feed it to Lu Yunkai’s mouth, “is it delicious?”
“Delicious.” Lu Yunkai looks at his wife. You make delicious food.
Song Xintong smiles helplessly, “they both ate a lot all the way.”
“It’s delicious.” Huajuan looks delicious to the extreme, “Dad, you eat more.”
“Well, it’s time for dinner. Don’t eat more.” Song Xintong let go of steamed bread, “take my brother out to play.”
Steamed bread brother got out of bed, reached for his brother, “brother, let’s go together.”
“Oh.” Huajuan followed the steamed bread out for a few steps, and then turned back: “Dad and mom, you don’t have to sleep in secretly any more. You’re ashamed.”
Then he ran out with his legs.
Song Xintong helpless smile, “more and more skin.”
“I’ll teach him later.” At the moment, Lu Yun was happy, and he was able to play with huajuan, “let’s get up and have dinner.”
“Well.” Song Xintong lifted the quilt, put on his shoes and got out of bed. They walked out of the house hand in hand.
Shahe county is windy and sandy in the evening, but the fire clouds in the sky are as beautiful as a picture.
The whole family, master waijialin and two agricultural officials from the capital, sat at a table full of excitement. A table full of dishes is full of color, fragrance and taste, which makes Lin shiye and others who have been staying at the border for a long time and can’t have a good meal enjoy themselves,
“Madam, you don’t know that we haven’t had such a big meal since we came to the border. Today, we are in the light of adults. Otherwise, I’m afraid we’ll have to go back to Beijing many years later to taste such delicious food.”
Song Xintong was surprised: “didn’t you bring a cook?”
“Then the cook can only cook well. Madam, the cook you bring is good.” Master Lin said, “besides, there is no food here.”
“So it is.” Song Xintong opened a dish for Lu Yun. Looking at his thin face, he thought that he would make some delicious food to mend his body in the coming days.
Lu Yunkai is not a man who is greedy for pleasure. In addition, he is really busy these days, so he has lost a lot of weight.
After dinner, Lu Yunkai talks to Lu’s mother for a while, and then checks the homework wennuan and the twins have done on their way. They don’t go back to the house until it’s completely dark.
Song Xintong, who had just combed and washed, only wore comfortable long clothes and trousers and leaned back on the chair, letting the night wind outside the window blow his hair with a sense of tide.
“There’s sand in the wind.” Lu Yunkai gently closed the window and picked up a dry cloth towel to wipe song Xintong’s hair. “Tomorrow, let people sew cloth on the doors and windows to avoid sand pouring in.”
Song Xintong said, “I’ve just brought some gauze. Tomorrow I’ll make it into window screen and hat enclosure.”
The geographical environment of Shahe county is a bit like Xinjiang in the West. The weather is very dry, the ultraviolet radiation is very strong, and there is a little sand in the wind. When you go out, you need to do more protection.
“I heard the following people say that after the spring snow, you often go out to survey, but there are ways to deal with it.”
“For tens of miles to the north and East, the land is poor, but there is plenty of water and some grain, but there are still more sheep.” Lu Yun opened a pause, “the west is more sand, although there is water, but it is also turbid.”
Song Xintong thought that such a wide area of land could not be cultivated, and it was really wasteful: “if we can turn these abandoned land into arable land, then the whole Xinzhou and even the surrounding military camp’s grain and grass will not have to be transported from other places.”
“Hard.” In fact, at the beginning of spring, Lu Yunkai ordered people to reclaim two mu of wasteland for experiments. Even if the water supply was sufficient, wheat and rice were not growing well, not as well as wild grass.
“It has to be adapted to local conditions.” Although song Xintong is not an expert in planting, he also knows some truth about South Orange and North orange. Moreover, the per mu yield of rice is not high at present, and the dry land here is certainly not good. “It’s feasible to plant rice and wheat in the South with fertile soil and water, but it’s not suitable for planting here. I think we should think about other arable land.”
Lu Yunkai nodded, “I know, but people live on food. There is a lack of staple food here. If we only depend on raising sheep and grazing for a living, we may be even poorer in the future.”
Song Xintong knew Lu Yunkai’s idea, but if he could not plant it, he could not plant it hard. “Then think of other ways.”
What did song Xintong think of Gansu, Xinjiang and other places in his previous impression? Watermelon? Grape? Dry Fruits? potato? Cotton?
Seeing what she seemed to think of, Lu Yunkai asked, “but what do you think of?”
“I think about a few, but they are not food. I don’t know if they are OK.” Song Xintong said: “if we can’t grow staple food with large yield, we will try to grow other staple food, and then we will change it into money and then grain. Such a cycle can also stimulate the domestic demand economy. ”
Lu Yun was a scholar, and he really didn’t know much about business. Song Xintong said that he was surprised. “The people here used to sell sheep, but the money they earned is still not enough for family use. If they can rely on planting subsidies, it’s also a good way.”
“This matter has not yet been determined, we will let you know after confirming that it can be produced.” Song Xintong road.
Lu Yunkai nodded, “I will arrange someone to do it tomorrow, but the seeds may have to go to Xinzhou to buy first.”
“I’ve brought a lot of seeds, but there are still some missing. I’ll write a list for you to buy.” Song Xintong wanted to write down all the crops he could think of suitable for this kind of environment.
“Thank you, madam.” Lu Yunkai holds song Xintong’s hand. If his wife hadn’t come here, he might not have thought of these methods for the moment.
“Song Xintong replied with a smile:” I’m just talking about it casually, and you don’t think I’m talkative
“I never think you’re talkative. I’m afraid you’ll talk to me soon.” Lu Yunkai pinched song Xintong’s white hand. “The more you talk to me, the happier I am.”
Song Xintong eyes with a warm smile: “curse you also happy?”
“Happy.” Lu Yunkai picked up song Xintong’s cheek and approached him intimately. “I’ve missed you and missed you for more than half a year.”
Song Xintong whispered: “me too.”
As soon as the voice fell, she was picked up. Lu Yunkai took her to the big bed.
The lights are dim, shadowy and ambiguous.
