Chapter 195 Preparing the dowry 3

Thinking of the word dowry, and then recalling the joke of the person who gave the gift, Feng Qingxue couldn't help but blush.

"Sister, your face is so red!" Feng Qingyun shouted.

Feng Qingxue came back to her senses and said seriously: "Although the busy farming season has passed, the weather is still very hot. I took the train for half a month and was tired all the way home, so it is hot."

Feng Qingyun made a sound, and then said: "Sister, it's a good thing you weren't at home when we were cutting wheat, otherwise you would have been exhausted. I feel tired just looking at it! It's cutting, beating, drying, and drying again. Harvest, many people say that God is not generous. It rained heavily during the wheat harvesting. Why did it rain in the spring but rain in the summer? A lot of wheat did not have time to be harvested, and the wheat grains were not dried in the sun! The ones were covered with straw mats and sprouted in the heat, almost not enough to pay for the public food!”

Hearing what she said, Feng Qingxue frowned. She could completely imagine the busy scene and despair, and asked in a low voice: "Is this year's harvest bad?"

Back when it didn't rain in the spring, everyone was certain that the harvest would not be good.

Feng Qingxue left just before the busy farming season, so she didn't know the situation at home.

"No, everyone said that they will starve again in the second half of the year." Feng Qingyun replied.

Feng Qingxue sighed softly.

"However," Feng Qingyun changed the subject, "Not only the uncle, but also the second uncle was ruthless. No matter what the regulations from above were, he was determined to let everyone grow as many sweet potatoes, corn, and potato seeds as possible. , I also plant them on my own land, and I say these three things have high yields. If I’m lucky, the harvest will be enough to prevent people from starving to death in the brigade.”

It is stipulated from above that only fruits and vegetables can be grown on private land, not crops.

One can imagine the risks Wang Zhengguo and Feng Shuanshao took by doing this.

The people below are not ignorant. Those with larger families are allocated more private land. Planting crops can add a lot of food to the family. They are grateful and cover this matter tightly. Who will come to see their production brigade? When they come to the crops on private land, they say that it is not private land but public land.

Because we can't live without eating vegetables in the winter, every household sets aside some land for growing vegetables. They point to the private land where vegetables are grown and tell outsiders who ask about it that it is private land, so they fool around.

What Wanglou Brigade and Caohu Brigade did was actually the result of a joint discussion between Wang Zhengguo and Feng Shuanzhu.

No one in the Wanglou Brigade died of starvation last year. Feng Shuan was envious and went to ask him personally.

The common people were grateful for the kindness of these two party secretaries, so they were particularly enthusiastic when they saw Wang Fengqiao who came to Feng Qingxue. As a result, Wang Fengqiao did not forget to praise Feng Qingxue when she arrived at Feng Qingxue's house.

Feng Qingxue learned the truth from her sister and pursed her lips with a smile.

After returning with Lu Jiang, she stopped darkening her face, but still put on makeup, revealing only three-fifths of her original beauty.

Three to five points is enough, and a smile blooms like a flower.

Wang Fengqiao took her hand and sighed: "She is so handsome and has such a kind heart. No wonder Lu Jiang can't wait for a moment! No, you just got home yesterday, and his father came to ask for me early this morning. I discussed the wedding dates with you and found three dates, one on June 26th, one on June 28th, the second day of the Beginning of Autumn, and one on the eighth day of July, the second day of Chinese Valentine's Day."

Farmers choose dates for weddings, weddings, and weddings in the lunar calendar, which is August according to the solar calendar.

Today is the eighteenth day of the sixth lunar month, and there are only eight days left to the twenty-sixth day.
