Chapter 23 The Abandoned Land in the South of the City


  Regarding the abandoned land south of the city, the nanny wrote back to Wei Ruo, telling Wei Ruo that the abandoned land south of the city belonged to land without owners, and the law was government property. 


  In the past, the judges of Xingshan County had not been too caught up in the matter of reclaiming ordinary vacant land. The vacant land south of the city was a land that most people did not want. They have no reason to disagree with planting land that does not produce any crops. 


  However, now is a special period, and Japanese pirates are rampant. Although the southern part of the city was less likely to be plagued by Japanese pirates due to the superiority of its outer terrain, which was a hundred times better than the eastern part of the city, it was still a little risky after all. not allowing ordinary people to exit the south gate. 


  It was free for ordinary people to take a piece of land, but the government disagreed. 


  Ordinary people could not do it, so if it was the Captain's House, was there such a possibility? 


  Although Wei Ruo did not want to get too involved with the Captain House in this matter, the skinny beggar he saw on the street that day appeared in his mind from time to time. 


  Also, what he learned about the situation in Xingshan County in the past few days, natural disasters and man-made disasters might not have much impact on Xiaowei House, he said, but the people living below had already suffered unspeakably. 


  He knows that if something comes to fruition, he can help some people in his abilities, though not all, but at least one can help one, and one can live, it was a fresh human life! 


  And he himself was eager to complete an improvement experiment in the saline-alkali soil. 


  After thinking about it over and over again, Wei Ruo came to the Cangyun Park where the Yun family lived. 


  Yun had just finished checking the account book last month with the store manager. 


  The shopkeeper came out with his front legs, and Wei Ruo entered with his back legs. 


  "Why is Ruo'er here? Wait a minute, I'll deal with this account book first. "Yun did not specifically avoid Wei Ruo, whether it was because Wei Ruo was his daughter or because he felt Wei Ruo could not understand the account books.


  Wei Ruo did not hurry, and stood for a moment looking at the account book in Yun's hands. 


  After reading through a few pages, Wei Ruo discovered that the shop was in a loss-making state. 


  It seemed that the Wei family's economic condition had been really bad in the past two years, not only were the crops in the village unharvested, the shop's income was also less than satisfactory. 


  After a while, Yun finished reading the last account book, put it aside, then dragged Wei Ruo to sit on the next rung of stairs. 


  "Did Ruo'er come to see mom for something?" Ask Yun. 


  It had been more than a month since Wei Ruo had returned to Wei's house, and this was the second time he had come to see her, the first time since he wanted to visit Zhuangzi in the north of the city. 


  Therefore, Yun was able to deduce that Wei Ruo had come to him today for something. 


  "Mother, I heard that the Zhuangzi harvest in the past two years has not been very good, and the grains produced are not enough for the family to eat," Wei Ruo asked. 


  Wen Yan Yun was clearly dumbfounded for a moment, clearly he did not expect Wei Ruo to say that. 


  Sighing a little, she said: "You don't have to worry about this matter, and I don't know which waitress is talking too much, mother should punish her well." 


  Come out," Wei Ruo said. 


  “Oh, right, you have to understand these things,” Yun said. 


  The boy grew up in the countryside, and the one he contacts most every day is farming, farming, so it is understandable that she knows more than young women in general who are raised in deep work rooms. 


  " er, don't worry too much. Our family is not that bad. With your father's salary and a little savings in the family, life's a little hard, but not too bad. It's just that people suffer. , These years Japanese pirates made trouble not easy, and coupled with bad age, it's even worse, and lately it's getting sadder."


  Seeing that his basic work was almost done, Wei Ruo asked about the salt-alkali land in the south of the city. 


  "Mother, the desert south of the city is still empty. If it could be planted, it should be able to solve the problem of feeding many people. "Yun smiled 


  and shook his head:" Ruoer, it's good that you think about your family, but the area outside the empty Land city is so remote that not much weed can grow, either, because the soil there is very bad, and nothing can grow. 


  ” women there who taught me how to grow crops in barren and desolate land. The method of planting crops might be worth it in the vacant lot south of the city." " 


  Barren land conditions are different. Xingshan County is close to the sea, and parents know that land close to the sea is not suitable for cultivation. This is different from the land you had when you were in Mojiashan. 


  " plants in the barren land, we can feed more people. Good deeds that can be achieved are also very useful for the career of the father." 


  When Wei Mingting's career was mentioned, Yun's expression changed. 


  But after thinking about it for a while, I still felt that his eligibility was not high. 


  "Ruo'er, your idea is very good, but this matter is really not that simple ..." 


  "Indeed it's not simple, but mother, even if we fail, we have nothing to lose, and we will tell everyone that our Wei family is working hard so that everyone can eat." Working hard at dinner is another harvest." Wei Ruo analyzed the pros and cons for Yun. 


  Yun Shi thought about it carefully, it seemed that it was. For the Wei family, reputation was of paramount importance. If they can get love and support from people, it will be very beneficial for the promotion of the husband. 


  Moreover, since the anti-Japanese war had not developed much, the imperial court was already quite dissatisfied with the large number of soldiers in Xingshan County, he said, even recently there was news that they would be dismissed from Xingshan County. 


  It also caused her husband to stay away for several days and nights, thinking of ways to solve the Japanese pirate problem day and night. 


  Yun was slightly moved.


  After thinking about it, Yun said to Wei Ruo: "My mother cannot decide this matter. I'll talk to your dad after he gets back and let him make up his mind. " "okay." Wei Ruo also knew that 


  he wanted In terms of development, Wei Mingting had to decide. 


  ### 


  Wei Mingting still did not appear as we dined, He did not share the dinner with everyone for ten days in a row. 


  Counting the first meeting, Wei Ruo had only met him four times so far, and each time he could not say a word. 


  Originally thinking that there was no chance to tell Wei Mingting about the desert south of the city today, but before Wei Ruo went to sleep, Cuiping came to deliver a message to Yun, who was the first to leave the town, told him to go to Cangyun Park, saying that he dad wanted to see her. 


  Wei Ruo was neatly dressed again, went to Cangyun Park, and looked at Wei Mingting whom he had not seen for a long time. 


  He still looked serious and solemn, but he was a little more tired than when we first met, and there was an additional wound on his arm wrapped in a white cloth, he said, and it looks like he has been injured for a few days. . 


  "I just heard from your mother that you have a way to grow crops on vacant land south of the city, but is that true?" Ask Wei Mingting.
