Chapter 386 382. Climb up by yourself
The video is naturally the CCTV agriculture report.
While playing the video, Yang Bingcheng explained it to his parents.
"Now there are peas that don't need to be planted in winter..."
"Specially cultivated garden peas..."
After speaking a few words, he was interrupted abruptly by Old Man Yang.
It's clearly stated in the report.
When I heard that the yield per mu was 300 kilograms, twelve crops could be harvested in one round, and one kilogram was sold for six yuan.
Old man Yang was so excited that he forgot he had guests at home. After playing the song once, he tapped the screen and played it again.
Although he is not well educated, he still has some insight.
As a member of the Southwest F4, he immediately realized how much money he could make by selling peas these days.
Finished playing the second time.
Yang Bingcheng took the time to mention, "This is the new variety cultivated by Luo Ge's company."
Old man Yang was awakened by this, and quickly stood up, wiped the table and poured water, with a smile on his face, "This, ah, this is all because of this, Mr. Luo, Teacher Ling, old man, ah, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, you, thank you, thank you..."
His already hunched back bent even lower, and he apologized and thanked over and over again, but his speech was incoherent and he didn't know what to say.
Yang Bingcheng felt bad watching his father like this.
Luo Yihang and Ling Tongjie quickly stood up and helped Old Man Yang sit down.
"Uncle, don't say that, and don't thank me yet. If you want to thank someone, thank you for having a good son. If he hadn't sent us messages repeatedly, first persuaded the Agricultural Technology Station, and then wrote a long letter to convince us, we wouldn't have come."
No one can praise you better than his child.
When Old Man Yang heard this, his face lit up and he couldn't stop smiling.
Beside the bed, Yang's mother happily held her son's hand tightly.
The red face ends.
It's time for Luo Yihang to put on a bad face.
"But, can our seeds be planted by your family? There are some conditions I want to ask."
Hear the words.
Yang Bingcheng immediately became serious and broke free from his mother's hand.
He walked a few steps towards Luo Yihang and stood respectfully.
Like a student being called upon to answer a question.
Luo Yihang waved for him to sit down.
"First question, when I came here, I saw the road conditions here and the distance from the city. Peas are a very fragile vegetable. Even if you grow them, how are you going to sell them?"
This is very realistic. The main consumer market for peas is still in cities, especially large cities. In addition, peas are eaten as tender sprouts, which are not durable in storage. They are generally only grown around cities, and at least have convenient transportation.
But Yang Bingcheng's house is not close to anything.
Yang Bingcheng seemed to be well prepared for this and immediately replied, "I can take the train to the mountain city to sell it."
"Train? Selling vegetables?" Luo Yihang was surprised.
Taking the train to sell vegetables doesn't sound reliable.
Yang Bingcheng explained, "We have a train that sells vegetables here. One of the stops is right at the foot of our mountain, just over five kilometers away. I can pick vegetables in the morning, carry them down, get on the train at noon, and arrive in the mountain city in the evening, just in time to sell them when I get off work. Then I can find a place to stay for the night and come back early the next morning."
"Is there such a thing? Someone who specializes in selling vegetables? Can he carry a load on the bus?" Luo Yihang asked.
"Yes." Yang Bingcheng nodded affirmatively. "It can carry loads and sheep. There are carriages for vegetables and livestock. People along the way take this car to the mountain city to sell vegetables. The ticket price from my place to the mountain city is only 16.5 yuan."
Luo Yihang just thought that this was too magical. The world is so big that there are all kinds of things.
The first problem is solved.
"Then the second question is, this is a test field after all. I need experimental data. Who in your family can record it?"
"I..." Yang Bingcheng agreed immediately.
But Old Man Yang had been on guard against him. He directly covered his son's mouth with his hand and agreed first: "I'll do it. I can do it."
Yang Bingcheng pulled his father's hand away and said, "You can't even read, how can you record it?"
“Uh…” Old Man Yang was speechless.
It turned out that Old Man Yang was illiterate. Luo Yihang immediately changed his opinion of this old man and admired him. It was difficult, very difficult, for an illiterate old man to train a college student.
It’s difficult to have this concept.
"Boss Luo, may I ask you, is it difficult to record?" Old man Yang asked nervously.
Luo Yihang looked at Ling Tongjie.
Ling Tongjie replied, "It's not difficult. Record the weight of each harvest, and record the time and amount of each fertilization and watering. I will also provide a sensor that will be inserted into the soil at multiple locations in the field every day to record the readings above, and take photos of the growth of the surrounding plants. Also record the daily temperature and weather. I will give you a template, just fill it out according to it."
Old man Yang breathed a sigh of relief, "My daughter is capable. She is in middle school now and can read."
"Okay." Luo Yihang nodded. "The third question, you just heard it, growing peas here is very laborious, can you do it?"
Yang Bingcheng has learned his lesson this time.
He stood up, took a big step back, and said loudly, "I can apply for a leave of absence!"
The words have not yet fallen.
Old Man Yang jumped up, his hair standing on end with rage, and shouted, "How dare you!"
If you take off your shoes, you will be beaten.
Yang Bingcheng hurriedly stepped back and said quickly, "Dad, listen to me. It's okay for me to take a year off. I can continue next year and graduate a year later at most. You can't handle it alone. You're exhausted. I'll go with you for just one year. Let's clean up the house and let Mom recover. Then I can study with peace of mind."
Old man Yang didn't listen at all, "Go away, go back to school, I can handle it."
Yang Bingcheng also became anxious and shouted at his father, "You can't do it! You still have to work part-time, how can you have the energy to plow the land? If you plow the land by yourself, how will Mom treat her illness and take medicine..."
Speaking of it.
Yang Bingcheng was suddenly stunned.
He also overlooked one thing.
The family is still able to make ends meet now because he worked three jobs at school and lied to his father about borrowing a teacher's medical insurance card so that he could buy medicine cheaper.
Old man Yang relied on himself to do odd jobs in the nearby villages and sell random vegetables grown in the fields. The money he earned was not enough to pay for his mother's medicine, let alone support his younger sister.
If he dropped out of school and came back, without those three jobs, the family would be even worse off, with one more person to feed.
Before the peas could be planted, the whole family starved to death.
The father and son stopped quarreling and stood face to face with the same expression and frowned brows.
The whole house was dead silent.
a long time.
The silence was broken by the low sobbing sound coming from the bedside.
The Yang family father and son turned their heads stiffly to look.
Mother Yang lowered her head and tears fell.
She clenched her hands into fists and pounded them on herself. "It's all my fault. It's all my fault. I deserve to die. Why can't an old woman like me die?"
The sound is like crying blood.
The father and son of the Yang family stopped arguing and were no longer stunned. They strode to the bedside at the same time, one holding his wife's hand, and the other wiping away his mother's tears.
At the same time, he kept comforting her, saying "It's okay, it's okay..." over and over again.
Misfortunes never come alone.
One suffering often leads to a series of sufferings.
People are allowed to advance, but they cannot advance; people are allowed to retreat, but they cannot retreat either.
No matter which direction you go, the only destination is the abyss.
Luo Yihang felt uncomfortable when he saw this scene.
Alas, I came here because I was moved, and now it’s time to take action.
Throw a rope into the abyss.
Let them climb up on their own.
Luo Yihang then said: "How about I give you an idea..."
