Chapter 186 Beautiful Shihe Village

When Chen Yousheng saw his name, the breath he was holding in his heart suddenly came out. Finally, there was no worry or tension in his heart, and instead he was filled with joy and excitement.

"Third sister-in-law, it's me, that's my name, I won the prize."

"Dad, Mom, I won, I won, I won the scholarship~~~"

Chen Yousheng ran towards Chen Defu and the others excitedly.

Having heard Chen Yousheng's shouting a long time ago, Chen Defu was so happy that he felt overwhelmed.

Mrs. Chen Wang was so happy that she burst into tears.

When Chen Yousheng returned to Chen Defu, he knelt down towards his parents.

Then he kowtowed three times to his parents solemnly.

Mrs. Chen Wang wiped the tears on her face and said excitedly: "Okay, okay, okay, our family will be a scholar, a scholar."

Then Shen Zheng returned to his house to clean up and prepare small gifts.

Shanchang Pei on the side did not expect Mr. Shen to be so rude. He wanted to refuse but now he was too embarrassed to refuse.

Commander Pei was a little embarrassed, "Let's wait outside the city."

Shen Zheng: "I just heard from Mrs. Chen that she was going to the market to do some shopping. Are you planning to hold a banquet for Yousheng?"

Although Chen Yousheng is now a scholar, he still bowed politely when he saw the Academy Headmaster.

Bai Taotao: "Yes, if Mr. Shen and Mr. Pei Shan are free, they can come and join in the fun."

"Okay." Shen Zheng agreed, and then said to Bai Taotao: "Mrs. Chen, you are busy first. We will see you in the village later."

Mrs. Chen Wang: "Yes, yes, yes, let's go. Let's go shopping. We must give our family a big feast."

Shen Zheng said to Chief Pei Shan, "Then I'll go back and get ready. Will we meet outside the city later, or will we meet directly at Shihe Village?"

Chen Yousheng responded: "I will work hard as long as I live."

"Then let me go and ask for a small drink."

Bai Taotao: "Let's go, while it's still early, let's go to the market to buy some vegetables and go home. We are a scholar. We must entertain the villagers to celebrate."

"Mrs. Chen, it turns out it's really Mrs. Chen. There were so many people just now, so I didn't notice that Mrs. Chen was also here to see the list. I'm sorry to welcome you from afar." Shen Zheng's voice suddenly sounded behind Bai Taotao and the others.

After all, the county magistrate has gone, and it would be too disrespectful for him not to go, "Then I will go along and join in the fun."

Shen Zheng was already thinking about every banquet hosted by the Bai Taotao family. When he was invited to attend, there was no reason to refuse.

As soon as he saw the county magistrate, Chen Defu was about to kneel down, and Shen Zheng hurriedly stepped forward: "Hey~~~, Mr. Chen, you can't do this. Now your eldest son is a general who is pacifying the general, but he also has status. You are exempt from courtesy when you see me. Besides, there is a scholar in your family now, so you are not allowed to bow down to me."

Bai Taotao turned around and saw Shen Zheng and the headmaster of the academy.

"Silly boy, get up quickly." Chen Defu helped Chen Yousheng up.

Pei Shanchang looked at Chen Yousheng and nodded with satisfaction: "Yousheng, you did very well in this college examination. I hope you can continue to work hard. I hope you can try the next imperial examination."

"Chief of the mountain, your lord the county magistrate."

Bai Taotao and the others went to the market to buy things. When they returned, they stopped by the small noodle stall and told the Bai family to join in the fun.

As soon as Bai Dashan heard that Chen Yousheng had become a scholar, he immediately prepared to close the stall and go have a wedding banquet.

There is a student who is admitted as a scholar, and Bai Dashan doesn't know how happy he is to follow him. From now on, if his grandson wins the lottery, he will laugh his teeth off.

Bai Taotao and the others had to go back to prepare the banquet first, so they packed a lot of vegetables and headed back to the village.

Once they returned to the village, Master Shen and the others arrived before them.

As soon as they arrived, the news about being successful had already spread throughout the village.

When Chen Wang and others came back, everyone in the village had already started to help.

Big red flowers are hung on the eaves of Chen Defu.

The whole village was in a state of joy.

While the villagers were still preparing for a banquet, Shen Zheng led Pei Shanchang to the tea mountain.

Standing in the pavilion on the top of the mountain, Chief Pei suddenly thought of an idea.

"Tell me, if I talk to Mrs. Chen and lend her tea mountain to students for study tours, will she agree?"

Shen Zheng replied without hesitation: "No."

Shanchang Pei didn't believe it: "Why?"

Shen Zheng simply replied: "Because she is Mrs. Chen."

"You can just make an appointment with her when the time comes. But this is indeed very suitable for students to come for study tours. The experiments here are spacious, the scenery is good, and the summer is cool. You can see the folks working down the mountain."

Chief Pei nodded: "Yes, we can let the students take a good look at this situation."

Suddenly, Pei Shanchang discovered that the rice fields were surrounded by a large circle, and curiously asked: "Why are the rice fields in Shihe Village surrounded by bamboo pieces?"

At this moment, Shen Zheng gave up and said, "The secret of this matter must not be revealed."

Pei Shanchang: "Have you noticed that that field is different from other rice fields? Isn't that kind of rice? It's only June, so the green and yellow areas don't mean that the rice is about to mature, right?"

Because we were standing on a mountain, the top of the mountain was a little far away from the rice fields of Baitaotao's family. It was not very clear whether it was a rice field or not. We could only see green and yellow grass leaves.

Shen Zheng smiled: "That's exactly what we planted. The green and yellow phases are when the rice is about to mature. It will be ready for harvesting at the beginning of next month."

Pei Shanchang looked shocked: "Is that really rice? How can rice be mature at this time? Doesn't it mean that we have to cultivate seedlings and transplant them in February?"

Shen Zheng: "Originally, Mrs. Chen did not allow anyone to tell the public first, but now it seems that the double rice is a success this year, so I might as well tell you about it."

"This is the double-cropping rice experimented by Mrs. Chen. That is, two crops of rice can be grown in one year. The earliest crop is called early rice."

"Early rice needs to start growing seedlings in mid-to-late February, and transplanting around mid-March. The second season is called late rice, and late rice needs to start growing seedlings in mid-June."

"Have you seen that empty rice field? It looks empty from a distance. In fact, it should be the seedlings that have grown late rice there. It's just that they have only been growing for a few days."

"Wait until the rice is harvested around mid-July and then plant the late rice, so that the late rice can be harvested from the end of October to the beginning of November."

After listening to Shen Zheng's words, Pei Shan said: "If so, wouldn't that delay the planting of winter wheat?"

Shen Zheng: "After planting double-cropping rice, you can't plant winter wheat because it will be too late in February next year."

Pei Shanchang: "Wouldn't that be a waste of several months? It's the same as changing winter wheat to rice. There's not much difference."

Shen Zheng: "Who said you can't plant anything else after harvesting the late rice? Have you eaten radish crisps this year?"

Shanchang Pei nodded: "Well, it tastes great and is very suitable for drinking porridge. I heard that this is a product of Mrs. Chen's workshop."
