Chapter 89 Going to the Countryside
The day before the ten girls left, Master Li Motuo gave them 50 taels of silver as a start-up fund.

The girls took the horse-drawn carriage bus from the county government. They were going to Qingzhou County, and they had to go further when they left Fucheng. The horse-drawn carriage bus from Songjiang County could not go that far. After arriving in Fucheng, they had to hire a car to continue on .

He took the first horse-drawn carriage bus from the county government office, and there were two carriages including luggage. Li Mo specifically confessed that these two carriages did not carry other guests, because of those gossip women who uttered unpleasant words.

From getting in the car to leaving the garment factory, Ah Hong kept lifting the curtain on the carriage, just wanting to see that figure that gave people a sense of security.

I hope she shows up, they are all leaving, and they will never come back in this lifetime, so I can take another look before leaving.

And I don't want her to appear, she is the god on the top of the snow mountain, guarding the common people, she shouldn't pay attention to the mundane affairs, just let this beauty be hidden in my heart forever, and remember the happy face during our training.

The other girls had the same mentality. They agreed to leave, but couldn't help but look back, hoping to see that slender figure in the next moment.

A girl couldn't help asking Ah Hong: "Sister Ah Hong, do you think the adults will come to see us off?"

Ah Hong's bright autumn eyes blinked: "My lord, she is very busy."

The girl knew that it was impossible for a county magistrate to come and see them off. She was busy with business and the garment factory was outside the city.

It is one thing to know in the heart, but it is another thing to actually find out that this is the case, and I can't help but look forward to it. Everyone sat listlessly in the carriage, letting the carriage sway.

Liu Fang's injuries are already healed, and she is driving the car today. Hearing the conversation inside, I can't complain anymore. How much love debt do you owe, my lord?

Suddenly, an exclamation came from the carriage next to him: "Look, it's my lord."

Ah Hong opened the curtain of the car with a snap, poked her head out to look back, and saw the person she was thinking of sitting on the horse, waving at the direction they were leaving.

When I said I was sad, why did my eyes turn red with tears? It was because I loved you too much, knowing that it was impossible, but I couldn't keep my heart.

The carriage had gone a long way, and the figure on the horse was no longer visible, so the girls reluctantly put down the curtains. Whether they were reluctant or sad, they said goodbye today, and they would never see each other again in this life.

What the girls didn't know was that there were six government officials behind the carriage, who would escort them to Qingzhou County together with Liu Fang.

Qingzhou City is far away from Songjiang County, at least three days away, the girls originally planned to take the county government's carriage to Fucheng, and then hire another car to go to Qingzhou County, who knew that Li Mo had already made arrangements.

In mid-April, Songjiang County is full of greenery. At this time, only some vegetables can be marketed, and rice and other crops have already been planted. I hope this year will be another bumper harvest year.

Often at this time, it is the days when the crops are not harvested. During the day, they have to work on the crops, and when they return home, there is no rice to cook.

The situation in the villages of Songjiang County this year is better than in previous years, especially if someone has entered a clothing or cosmetics factory, or someone is working in a government office.

Needless to say, the sweet potato flour workshops are all the immediate family members of the village chiefs. Of course, they are also the people of Songjiang County, and they are hardworking, so there is no need to criticize them.

The field is full of busy people. In this era without herbicides, weeding has become an important task. The grass in the field grows wildly. Before the weeding is finished on one side, it has already grown taller on the other side.

Adults and children are not idle, even the elderly have to sit on the dry land with a small bench and weed the grass.

A three or four-year-old child who knows what pulling grass is, sees a butterfly flying by, sneaks a glance at his parents, finds that their attention is not on him, and hurriedly chases after him.

Accidentally fell down in the field, covered in mud, in exchange for a burst of nagging from my mother and a burst of ridicule from my brothers and sisters.

Li Mo came to Yejia Village first. This village is very close. If there are no special circumstances, he must visit first every time.

Yejia Village is the birthplace of sugar cane in Songjiang County, and it is also the village that grows the most sugar cane. As long as you are not a lazy person, the family land will never be idle.

"My lord, you're here again!" The child's crisp voice suddenly sounded, and when I looked around, I saw a little girl with braids standing not far away looking at her, beside her were five animals grazing leisurely. Lamb and a calf.

Li Mo knew this little girl as Ye Fan's younger sister, but Li Mo didn't know her name.

Xiao Niu came back on credit from the county government. Ye Fan's family conditions are not good, and if he wants Da Niu, he may not be able to repay the debt.

The children of the poor have long been in charge of the family, and she is only eight or nine years old, and she has already started to herd cattle and sheep at such a young age.

"Little sister, why are you alone?"

"My brothers and mother have gone to work in the fields, sir, are you here to do something in our village?" The little girl blinked her big eyes and looked up at Li Mo.

Li Mo: "Nothing, just come and see, where are your brother and mother?"

"I'll take you there." After the little girl finished speaking, she tied the cattle and sheep under the tree, and then bounced ahead to lead the way.

Surrounded by villagers, not far away, so not afraid of being stolen.

Turning a corner, the little girl shouted: "Mother, brother, the magistrate is here."

Ye Fan, mother and son were pulling weeds in the rice field, when they saw Li Mo approaching, they ran up from the field.

The trousers of the mother and son were covered with mud, and Ye Fan's mother hurriedly put down the trousers when going to the field, and put on the cloth shoes on the edge of the field.

Only then did Li Mo remember that the ancients paid great attention to these things, and only their husbands could see a woman's feet.

After a year, the Ye Fan brothers grew a little taller again, and Ye Fan looked at Li Mo with bright eyes: "My lord, do you have anything to do with us?"

Li Mo: "It's nothing, just look around."

"Is this all your family's rice field?" Li Mo pointed to the field that Ye Fan just came up to.

Ye Fan: "No, the little bit beyond belongs to my uncle. Our family only has this small piece of land and the two acres to the east of the village, a total of three acres of land, and another three acres of dry land."

This does not include land reclamation.

There are four people in Ye Fan's family, and there are only three acres of rice fields. If the time is good, it will only be a little over 1000 rice. What else is left besides paying taxes?
Li Mo felt bad. The brothers and sisters were as thin as bamboo poles, they still lived in a thatched house, and it was impossible for them to go to school.

Ye Fan's father had passed away for several years, and his mother single-handedly brought up his brothers and sisters. There was no man in the family, so when basically every household was weaving bamboo products, their family didn't have one, and their lives were more difficult than others. hardships.

When the reservoir was being built, Ye Fan's 12-year-old brother went to work with a group of adults. Only he could understand the hardships involved.

When the county government announced the opening of the training class, they also wanted to go, but considering the difficulties at home, it was impossible to leave all the work to their mother alone. Besides, the two brothers were young, so they dared not go. Sign up.

The six taels of silver that Ye Chen's family accompanied had already spent another tael without knowing it, and the remaining five taels had to be saved.

Li Mo: "How many acres of land has your family reclaimed?"

Mrs. Ye Liu: "My lord, there are a total of [-] acres, all of which are planted with tea trees."

Ye Fan: "My lord, my family raised five more lambs."

Li Mo smiled and said, "I have seen it just now."

For such a family, Li Mo really wants to help them, what should I do?
Li Mo asked Ye Fan: "Do you want to set up a stall in the county?"

When Ye Fan heard it, his eyes darkened: "I think so, but we have no craftsmanship, and the family has no money."

If you want to set up a stall, you have to buy goods first. If you have nothing to sell, what kind of goods should you buy?What are you selling?This is really a problem.

Li Mo touched his chin: "I don't know if you can bear the hardship, but I have a good idea here."

"We are not afraid of suffering."

"Then teach you how to make fried dough sticks and tofu flowers."

This is what I taught Ah Hong to make a few days ago. At present, these two kinds of snacks have not appeared in Songjiang County. Li Mo thinks this can work.

Ye Fan's family didn't have enough staff and funds, so they could only start by setting up a small stall.

Ye Fan was more clever: "My lord, why don't you go to my house first."

If you want to learn something, you must have real things, so hurry up and invite the county magistrate to your home, otherwise what if he changes his mind?
It is not easy to make fried dough sticks and tofu flower. To make tofu flower, you have to soak soybeans and grind them into pulp.

Li Mo: "Don't worry, you prepare these materials first, and I will come over tomorrow and teach you how to do it."

After Li Mo told them what to prepare, he gave them back five taels of silver.

Mrs. Ye Liu waved her hands again and again: "We can't take your money."

Ye Fan whispered to Li Mo: "My lord, we still have five taels of silver from the money we lost last time. My mother said that I would save it for my brother's marriage."

After speaking, he winked at his elder brother, making his elder brother flush with shame.

Li Mo: "..."

If I remember correctly, his elder brother is only 13 years old this year, and he is about to talk about marriage. In modern times, he only entered junior high school at this age, and many pampered ones can't even wash their clothes.

"My lord." The voice of Village Chief Ye came from afar.

When Village Chief Ye came to Li Mo, he was out of breath.

When Ye Changchang heard the villagers say that the county magistrate came to visit the field unannounced, he was so frightened that he forgot to put down his trousers.

"It's really a crime not to know that the adults are here."

Li Mo: "Mr. Ye, I'm just here to take a look. You don't have to be nervous."

Village Chief Ye: "My lord, how about I walk with you?"

"it is good."

Li Mo signaled Ye Fan's family to go back and prepare these materials first.

The seedlings in the rice fields can already see the difference at this time. The seedlings with enough fertilizer are green and shiny, while the seedlings with insufficient fertilizer are yellowish. If the fertilizer is not properly topdressed later, the harvest of this season will definitely decrease again.

After visiting the rice fields, I went to see the pond again.

Li Mo asked Village Chief Ye: "Are there any fish in the pond?"

Village Chief Ye: "Yes, all the big fish are sold, and all the small fish are kept."

Li Mo is most concerned about sugarcane and tea trees. The villagers have no experience in planting them. The tea is fine. Crazy Chen is watching. Sugarcane is the focus of this time.

Regarding sugarcane, everyone doesn't know how to plant it, and can only let it grow freely.

After casually looking at a few sugarcane fields, Li Mo discovered the problem.

He said to Village Chief Ye: "Cillage Chief Ye, let me know that these extra buds need to be pulled out. Too crowded can't do it, it will affect the growth."

Village Chief Ye: "My lord, I'll call someone over right now."

He was afraid that he could not remember clearly, so he called all the villagers together. If they had any questions, they would ask them by themselves, so that they would not have time to complain.

The villagers were basically working in the fields. Once the village chief struck the gong, all the villagers who could come came within a quarter of an hour.

After that, he walked all the sugarcane fields and pointed out the problems that need attention.

In the two stages of attacking seedlings and leaves, fertilization is carried out in the initial stage of sugarcane growth to pave the way for subsequent growth.

At present, the main stem of sugarcane is small, and fertilization is urgent, but the amount of fertilizer absorption is small, so the amount of fertilization should be small, and the interval between fertilization should not be too long.

Appropriate fertilization promotes the growth of sugarcane large roots, large leaves, and long stems.

In the later stage of sugarcane growth, the growth potential of the main stem slowed down, and the fertilizer absorption was weakened.

Applying a small amount of strong tail fertilizer to keep the sugarcane still vigorous is not only beneficial to the high yield of sugarcane, but also beneficial to the growth of the perennial sugarcane in the coming year. It is important to pay attention not to apply too much or too late strong tail fertilizer, so as not to affect the maturity and maturity of the sugarcane. Reduced sugar cane juice quality.

In ancient times, there was no chemical fertilizer, and the fear was that the villagers would bring manure water over to irrigate, and the manure water would burn the sugarcane to death if the manure water was too salty.

Village head Ye felt: "No way, it's so difficult to grow sugar cane."

Li Mo raised his eyebrows: "Then what's not difficult?"

Someone worried: "Master, can sugarcane really make money?"

Li Mo: "How much is a catty of sugar you buy now?"

"It's very expensive. I've never bought a catty."

"I haven't eaten candy yet."

"No way, you are so miserable."

A three-year-old child looked at his mother: "Mother, what does candy taste like?"

The young mother wiped her tears and hugged her: "Candy is sweet, and I will bring it back to you when my mother goes to the street after a while."

Li Mo will continue to follow up in the later stage, how to fertilize, how to peel sugarcane leaves.

Just when Li Mo was about to leave Yejia Village, a young man ran up to him.

"Village chief, help." The man said anxiously.

Village Chief Ye: "Ye Rong, what's wrong with you?"

"My wife is having a difficult labor, can you lend me some money, I will go to the town to find a doctor."

"Didn't you already hire a steady wife?"

"Wen Po said that her feet were down and she couldn't give birth. She had to go to the doctor immediately and hang her with ginseng."

"Ginseng, how much money does that cost?"

Ye Rong: "No matter how much money it is, I will save my wife."

Village Chief Ye: "Okay, how much do you want?"

Ye Rong: "Twelve taels."

Village head Ye was in a dilemma: "I don't have that much money."

Life is hard for everyone, where you can take out ten taels of silver at once, even if you can take it out, it is impossible to give it all to you. You cannot say that others are selfish, this is human nature.

Ye Rong: "Then what should I do? What about my wife?"

Li Mo took out ten taels of silver and gave it to him: "Take the money and ride my horse."

Ye Rong: "Big, big, man, I can't ride a horse."

Li Mo: "You stay at home and watch over your wife, I'll go get her." At this time, the mother most needs her husband by her side.

And told the village chief to wait for her here, because she didn't know where Ye Rong's family lived.

Fortunately, Dr. Chen, the only doctor in Songjiang County, was in the pharmacy. Li Mo explained the situation, and as soon as Dr. Chen packed up his things, he set off immediately, and the round trip only took a quarter of an hour.

When I arrived at Ye Rong's house, I heard the heart-piercing cries of the parturient mother from afar.

Ye Rong turned around in a hurry, his mother folded her hands together and kept praying.

Dr. Chen: "What is the state of the pregnant woman now?"

Ye Rong hurried forward and held Doctor Chen's hand tightly: "Doctor, hurry up, hurry up."

The parturient has not yet given birth, so the doctor can come in at this time.

Li Mo didn't leave, and stayed in the yard the whole time.

After a while, Dr. Chen came out, looked at Ye Rong, then at Li Mo, then at Ye Rong's mother, and sighed: "Bao Da or Bao Xiao?"

Ye Rong said without hesitation: "Bao Da."

His mother: "Bao Xiao."

Li Mo couldn't help but take another look at Ye Rong. In this era, there are men who are so infatuated.

Dr. Chen: "If you are a big baby, you may not be able to have children in the future, are you sure?"

Ye Rong: "I'm sure."

"I disagree."

"Mother, Hua'er is your daughter-in-law, how can you bear it?"

"My son, if you don't think about it, if you grow up, you will be the last one in the future."

"The last will be the last."

"You, you pervert."

The final result was Baoda. Dr. Chen received a definite answer and went to prescribe the medicine, which will be boiled in a while, at least a quarter of an hour.

Li Mo wanted to say that a caesarean section can save any size, but this is ancient times, can Ye Rong accept that a man sees all his women?

I hope that Dr. Chen's medical skills can be superb and save the pregnant woman.

However, the voice in the delivery room became smaller and smaller, and Mrs. Wen shouted inside: "It's not good, the mother is dying."

When Ye Rong heard this, his face turned pale with fright, and he rushed in without thinking.

Dr. Chen was also dumbfounded: "This medicine doesn't work?"
