And they heard that Shen Jianwan and the others were repairing the house and came to help.

So, with the six He Song brothers and their six nephews joining in a group of 12 people, Shen Zhan and his house repairing process can be described as moving forward.

Seeing that Shen Zhan had more time to think about making squat toilets, knowing that Shen Jianwan and the others were going to do squat toilets, He Song, who was originally leading the team to help people build houses, couldn't help but brighten his eyes when he heard about it.

No, he discussed with Shen Zhan how to operate it.

For a while, Shen Jianwan would remind them from time to time, Shen Zhan is even more clever, and He Song is also a good house builder, so they figured out how to make this squat toilet in a long time.

As for the women's family members doing embroidery work, Mrs. He and Mrs. Meng also joined them to do needlework together. Shen Jianwan and the others also accelerated their embroidery work a lot.

What's worth mentioning is that seeing Shitou and the others studying with Shen Xuan, and knowing that Shitou and Shen Jie will go to a private school to study in a few days, Mrs. He couldn't help being envious, and then slapped her thigh and decided to let the seven-year-old Zhuzi Also follow Shitou and the others to the private school.

Speaking of studying, in fact, at the beginning of spring this year, Zhuzi had already attended a private school in the village.

But because he didn't like reading, he didn't go to school for three days, and the child ran back by himself.

And because Zhuzi is a single seedling that He Song and Meng's couple got for many years, He Song and his wife and dozens of members of the He family doted on him very much, so they didn't force the child to grow up again when they saw it. to read.

Originally, Mrs. He and the others planned to wait until the spring of next year, when Zhuzi was more sensible, before sending him to a private school, but now that Shitou and Shen Jie were going to a private school this year, Mrs. He had the idea of ​​sending him together. Children are also accompanied.

Of course, what she didn't say was that seeing Shen Xuan, the former desk chief, enlightening Shi Shi and them, she also had the idea of ​​letting Zhu Zi learn something from Shen Xuan.

Mrs. He felt that Shen Xuan, as the former head name, must have his extraordinary ability. It is probably a great thing that her grandson can practice calligraphy with him.

And the reason why their family is so enthusiastic about Shen Jianwan and the others is that apart from Shen Jianwan saving Zhuzi, the main reason is that they are also optimistic about Shen Jianwan and the Shen family's character and Shen Jianwan, Shen Xuan's children are all Literate and intelligent.

It has to be said that Mrs. He has more foresight than ordinary rural old women in being able to bring up six sons as a widow.

The rare thing is that Zhuzi didn't lose his temper this time and readily agreed when he heard that he could go to private school with Shitou and Shen Jie.

Seeing that he agreed to go to the private school, Mrs. He and the others couldn't help being overjoyed. After asking, Zhuzi found it fun for Shitou, Shen Jie, Da Ya, and Er Ya to study in the room together, and he also wanted to join.

Therefore, the next child Shen Jie will teach has another pillar.

Two days passed in a blink of an eye, and after four days of land reclamation, more than 390 acres of wasteland were opened up by everyone.

This speed surprised Shen Jianwan and the others, it was three days earlier than they expected.

After the wasteland was opened, the most important thing for Shen Jianwan and the others to do was to fertilize the land and plant soybeans.

As the saying goes, every flower in a crop depends on fertilizer.

The reason why no one cares about the several hundred acres of wasteland that Shen Jianwan bought is that the end of the village owned by the Shen family is a little far away from the village, and the most important thing is that this wasteland is too difficult to develop and too barren. .

As for land reclamation, Shen Jianwan and the others had already opened up the land, so there was no need to worry about it.

Now the most difficult problem they have to face is to solve the problem of barrenness in this land.

And this problem is also the most important reason why Second Uncle Shen and the others have been worried and disapproved of buying this wasteland.

Fortunately, planting soybeans requires less fertility than ordinary crops, and even planting them can make the land fertile.

If it is well managed, even a few crops of soybeans can be planted, and the barrenness of the land can be greatly improved.

So this kind of soybean is a little trick for raising land.

As for how soybean planting can improve the barrenness of the land, people at this time are not very clear. Only veterans like Uncle Shen understand a little bit, but they only know that planting soybeans does not have high requirements for the land, and it seems that in the coming year The other types of land will be more fertile, but I'm not sure about that.

So at this time, no one thought of planting soybeans to fertilize the land. Of course, the most important reason is that soybeans are not well accepted by people, and everyone ignores them, let alone use precious land to grow them.

However, although growing soybeans has relatively low requirements for soil fertility, the basic fertility is still required to make soybeans harvest in this way.

I don't see that after the wasteland was opened, Second Uncle Shen and the others nervously came to ask Shen Jianwan where to get the fertilized land.

As for this question, Shen Jianwan already had an idea.

So, she asked everyone to bring rotten soil and rotten leaves from the mountains to the wasteland as fertilizer, and even invited someone from the village to offer a price of five yuan for a load of rotten soil or rotten leaves.

Then, Shen Jianwan asked Uncle Shen and the others to dig a simple big pit to speed up the decomposition of fertilizer.

For three days in a row, it really achieved remarkable results. The garbage and manure that would have been decomposed for a long time actually decomposed several times faster in the pit made by Shen Jianwan than Uncle Shen and his usual methods.

Uncle Shen and the others couldn't help but be amazed when they saw the farmyard manure fermented in three days, which was several times faster than their composting method in the past, and it was more abundant.

And seeing Shen Jianwan's series of well-organized fat land plans, Uncle Shen became more and more convinced of her this time, nodded to Shen Jianwan's ability, and said that the fat land method was his I can't think of anything to do with crops.

When solving the fertilizer problem, Shen Jianwan and the others also hired someone to help with planting.

This time they paid [-] Wen to plant an acre of soybeans. For this price, it was expected that the people in the village would still rush to come.

And when Shen Jianwan and the others were planting soybeans in full swing, at some point in the village there was a disdain for their soybean planting.

Many people said that it was nonsense for the Shen family to sell the useless wasteland for hundreds of taels of silver, and now it is even more stupid to use the hard-earned land to plant soybeans that no one grows or wants.

For this, everyone disdain Shen Jianwan and the others for planting soybeans.

However, Shen Jianwan didn't take these rumors seriously, as long as they didn't mention them in front of her, no matter what others said.

But along with the rumors, another piece of news from the village caught her attention.
