The peasant widow is famous all over the world

Chapter 299

Helpless, Tang Mian could only take back the banknote.

Fortunately, Doctor Wu left some food such as chickens and ducks.

Another year passed in the blink of an eye. Lu Yanjin was fifteen years old. Just after the Lantern Festival, Tang Mian packed his bags for him.

"Grandpa, grandma, mother, brother, there's no need to send them off. It's cold outside, go back to the house quickly."

Outside the gate of the Lu family, Lu Yanjin, with thick eyebrows and a square face, led a horse with two bundles hanging on it and held a sword as she bid farewell to Tang Mian and others.

The family looked at Lu Yanjin with reluctance. Tang Mian stepped forward to tidy up his clothes. He slightly raised his chin and looked at the eldest son who was a head taller than her. He said earnestly, "Yan Jin, mother knows that you are great. Mother." I believe you will have a good future, but I hope you take good care of yourself when you are away from home.”

"Mom, my son knows. Don't worry, I will do it." Lu Yanjin nodded and solemnly agreed.

"Brother, have a nice trip. We are waiting for your good news." Lu Yanxiu raised the corners of his lips, made a fist with his right hand and raised it forward towards Lu Yanjin.

Lu Yanjin smiled and reached out to make a fist, touching Lu Yanxiu lightly, "Don't worry."

Putting down his hands, he greeted his family again, got on his horse and was about to leave when the voices of Lu Guang and Lu Ming's family rang out again.

They knew that Lu Yanjin was leaving today, so they came here specifically to see her off.

After exchanging farewell greetings, Lu Yanjin whipped the horse on the buttocks and walked away in the snow.

"Now that I'm gone, I don't know when we will see each other next time." Mrs. Li sighed as she wiped the tears from her eyes and looked at the retreating figure.

It was the first time for her eldest grandson to travel away from home, and she began to feel worried about him as soon as he left.

Lu Zheng patted Mr. Li on the shoulder to comfort him, "It shouldn't be long. We can just wait for his return with peace of mind."

"Third brother is right, third brother and sister, don't worry, this kid Yan Jin is capable." Zhao continued.

Lu Guang and others also gave a few words of advice and then left.

"Dad, Mom, let's go back to the house." Tang Mian said when he saw everyone leaving.

Lu Zheng and Li nodded, and the family of four returned to the house together.

A few days later, Lu Yanxiu also packed his things and went to Wansong Academy, and Tang Mian also started to be busy. She had previously asked her brother-in-law to get some rice seeds from the Jiangnan area, and planned to carve out a field of nine-tenths of an acre for planting. According to the method described in the book, the two varieties of rice were artificially controlled and pollinated when they bloomed.

This is the first time she has done this, so she can only wait and see what the outcome will be.

The county government officials, either because they listened to their brother-in-law's instructions or because they didn't talk much, just did whatever Tang Mian said and never asked why.

Only when encountering planting problems did he ask Tang Mian for advice and discuss them.

This saved Tang Mian a lot of trouble.

After Yu Mingzhi reported the increase in rice production, the imperial court also sent six farmers to learn Tang Mian's new method of growing rice.

Tang Mian was already familiar with the new method of growing rice. He explained it in detail to the farmers sent by the imperial court, and answered any questions as soon as possible.

In addition to sending six farmers to study, the rewards this time were also much richer than the last time.

Not only were there gold, silver, jewels, silks and satins, but he was also rewarded with a reward from the county government upon entering the house, and was given the title of pavilion master.

Although the pavilion owner has the lowest title and has no use other than a good name, he can still bluff people in the countryside.

When people in the village saw Tang Mian, they suddenly became respectful, and Li Zheng became more sincere towards their family.

Tang Mian had no time to pay attention to their changes. He was busy non-stop, even at noon, in the fields under the scorching sun.

Her actions made the farmers living in the village both ashamed and admired.

It's a pity that Tang Mian's hard work was not rewarded, and the hybrid rice was not successful.

Grain produced through artificial pollination is not as good as grain produced from existing grain seeds.

Seeing some flat grains on the ears of rice, Tang Mian knew that she had failed in her first battle.

Although I had expected it, I was still a little frustrated.

However, she was not depressed for too long. After she recovered her mood, she discussed it with the farmers and took the time to look for reasons in the book, hoping to make progress next year.
