Her steps were shaky all the way, and she was really worried that she would fall into a ditch or the cow dung on the roadside. The cow dung was fresh and steaming. Nance just saw with his own eyes that a cow was right there.

He raised his tail under his eyes, and then plopped a big lump on the ground.

It's so inappropriate to let a beautiful girl have her face buried in cow dung.

Nance looked back at the girl's swaying body, slowed down and walked side by side with her, so that he could hold her in time if she was about to fall.

"I have a shadow, no need for uncle to worry!" Li Qingxian took a long breath and stretched.

She was wearing a dark blue and rose red coat with a romantic feel, and blue trousers.

Her forehead is fair and her lips are delicate and cute, but her eyes are always lazy, which is a pity for the youthful energy that is almost overflowing in her body.

"Why didn't you have lunch just now?" Nance asked her.

Li Qingxian cleared his throat and said boringly: "The rice cooked by my mother is too terrible. I don't want to eat it. I want to eat dry fried chicken, hamburger beef patties, raisin soft cakes..."

"These things are high in sugar and calories, so eat less of them." Nan Si said earnestly, "At your current age, you should eat more nutritious food so that you can grow up better."

"Long-winded uncle." Li Qingxian muttered in a low voice.

"I think you need to be considerate to mom..." Nance thought about Mrs. Li's behavior last night and was about to say something to her. However, Li Qingxian preempted him and asked him: "What did you and my mom do last night?"

?”

"..."

Li Qingxian looked at him suspiciously: "My mother is too enthusiastic about you, which is obviously beyond common sense!"

"It's indeed a bit beyond common sense." Nance smiled and said calmly: "It's not that I'm quibbling, but because of what your mother said last night, it makes it hard for me to shirk it. It's a long story to explain, but anyway.

, summed up in one sentence: She asked me to take good care of you sisters."

"take care of?"

"That's right, just taking care of her. She was afraid that the fire at your city gate would harm you and your sister, two fishes in the pond, so she asked me to take you away."

"Funny." Li Qingxian curled his lips indifferently.

"It's pretty funny," Nance admitted.

"Hey, are you attracted to my mother?" The girl put on a very mature look, shook her head and said: "I tell you, although I hate my father, I don't want to replace you as my stepfather.

! All adults are like this, no one likes them..."

"...How are you talking!"

Nance gave her a big mouthful.

The beating was very light, just to teach him a lesson.

"It's so funny!" Li Qingxian said the last sentence, and then he ran forward with the thermos box in hand, chasing Susha's back and yelling: "Sister Su, let me tell you, uncle is a wife man, he looks at it

Fucked my mom..."

Nance shook his head helplessly.

Alas, she is really a troubled girl and needs to be disciplined.

The weather was cool and clear, and from time to time the chirping of birds would pierce the air sharply.

After leaving the town, they were surrounded by snow-covered farmland, with some straw roots popping up in the snow. The three of them headed towards the mountains to the north. There were some thatched houses scattered among the fields.

The dilapidated house made people worry that it would be blown up into the sky by a strong wind.

A plastic greenhouse appeared at the foot of the mountain in the distance.

Nance walked through the field path and stepped onto a single-plank bridge over the creek. The cold wind blew on his face.

Winter is not a suitable season for farming.

Li Ting has always disliked winter.

After moving to Nanwan Town with his family, he likes to stay in the house every winter. He writes some handwritten articles on agriculture and publishes them online for free. In addition to the principles of agriculture, he also discusses physics and philosophy with people online.

...His life in Nanwan Town was extremely fulfilling, but he occasionally felt a sense of dissatisfaction and resentment.

This winter has been extremely cold and long.

Dark clouds enveloped the land and quickly covered the water with a thin layer of ice. The climate suddenly surpassed the soil eroded by natural disasters and became the number one enemy of agricultural production.

Early this morning, Li Ting put on his big boots and coat and went to inspect the experimental field. He waded through the icy stream that was dazzling in the sun, sometimes stepping on the ice, and sometimes sinking into the snow.

This plastic shed located at the foot of the mountain is where he devoted his life's efforts.

When he opened the door, the workers who came to help had not arrived yet, so he first went to check on the livestock.

The cows had been put into the paddock, their coats shining, basking in the sun and mooing to the grass.

Li Ting stared at the group of cows with admiration. He knew their situation clearly, when they gave birth, when they were in estrus, what type of bull they liked... He broke off a branch, opened the calf's fence, and looked at the cows.

With a smile on his face, he drove these little guys away and let them go to bask in the sun and exercise.

The calves born this winter are exceptionally good.

According to Li Ting's estimate, the slaughter period only takes a little more than a year, which is three to five months earlier than the current mainstream beef cattle in the empire. Moreover, the nutritional quality of the meat is not bad, but the taste is a bit poorer. In terms of breeding, this breed of beef cattle

It will also save costs, as only dry roughage is mixed with a small proportion of soybean meal, and a small amount of protein is added.

Such beef is destined not to be recognized by upper class society.

But if they can be successfully promoted and cultivated on a large scale, their meat can cut the current price of beef in half and become the most important source of nutrition for the residents of the empire.

Li Ting took out hay feed from the barn and sprinkled it in the trough to feed the calves.

The wooden fence next to the trough was broken. He planned to call the carpenter to repair it yesterday, but unfortunately the carpenter was called by the town government to repair the fence and was not available to help. He had no choice but to plan to do it today.

After finishing the work at hand, you can stay and repair by yourself. It doesn't matter if you go home late.

The sun gradually rose, and the nearby peasant women came to the experimental field to help.

Li Ting had no wages for them, but promised to share some grain with everyone during the harvest.

In such a remote town, having food is already very good, so many housewives who are idle at home are willing to come over and help. Moreover, Li Ting also promised that in addition to keeping some of these new varieties of food seeds for research,

, the rest are distributed to everyone for free.

Some of the townspeople who were originally envious of the high-yielding grain crops in his experimental fields were now willing to work for him.

A large group of peasant women and scattered old men were busy reclaiming wasteland.

The shovel dug into the hard soil, making a strange vibration that broke the tight air.

Li Ting searched in the warehouse for a long time, then ran out and shouted: "Aunt Mary, I told you yesterday that the harrow needs to be repaired. You must know that today we have to harrow the fields."

"ah?"

A peasant woman raised her head in surprise.

"Didn't you ask me to repair it today?"

"What I'm talking about is that I asked you to repair it yesterday. Your ears are really hard to use..." Li Ting yelled, but thinking that it was useless to get angry now, he stopped mid-sentence and just sighed: "Come and repair it quickly, you can rake it."

One point at a time, don’t waste everyone’s time.”

Aunt Mary hurried into the warehouse.

Li Ting turned to another farmer woman and asked: "What happened to the six acres of land that was raked yesterday?"

"I've asked Vasily to go over and plant the seeds. At least three acres of land can be planted today."

"Why can't they all be sown?" Li Ting shouted.

"The shed over there hasn't been erected yet, and the ground is covered with snow..."

"Okay, hurry up and take a few people to build a plastic greenhouse. Don't let the low temperature delay the harvest."

"immediately!"

The peasant woman waved her hand and immediately led a few people to the warehouse to get wooden stakes and plastic.

Li Ting was a little annoyed and went to help.

Even if only half of the six acres of land are planted, the seeds are sown under the ice and snow without even building a shed. The harvest will definitely be affected, and these few acres of land will be wasted.

"Why are there so few people?"

"Everyone is busy with their own things."

"What?"

"Five people are planting potato seedlings, four people are feeding eggs and ducks, and, No, look..." The speaker pointed to the dairy shed, "It takes three people to milk the cows..."

Li Ting glanced at the dairy barn.

Three gray-haired old men, wearing fur boots and thick bloated coats, were working slowly.

"Why!"

Li Ting waved his hand angrily.

Really, it would be great if there were enough labor force on such a clear and sunny day.
