Chapter 208 Life is tough

She clearly sensed that her master was interested in her suggestions, but he always refused. So, he must have some concerns.

Her master was unwilling to tell her, and she didn't ask, but that didn't stop her from doing things for her cheap master.

When Liu Shile returned home smoothly, Grandma Wang was eating. When she saw her, she almost dropped her bowl on the table.

“You silly child, you’ve been gone for so long. If I hadn’t sent a telegram to let you know I was safe, your second brother would have quit his job to come find you.”

Grandma Wang looked the little girl over carefully and said with some heartache, "It's only been a short time, and you've already lost so much weight. You can't do this again."

Grandma Wang felt sorry for the girl she had known for so long. Seeing that she had lost weight, she went to the kitchen without saying a word to make her some noodles.

She's quite frugal when she's alone, and with the summer heat, the food she cooks is only enough for one person. Now that Liu Shile is back, she has to start cooking again.

Feeling touched by Grandma Wang's sincere concern, Liu Shile happily followed her to the kitchen to help, chatting with Grandma Wang as they went.

Well, mainly Grandma Wang asked her what she had been doing over there, how things were going there, and then she brought up the situation at her home.

The situation affected a large area, with some houses collapsing even in their county. Fortunately, there were few casualties, and the organized rescue and arrangements were timely.

"Did my second brother go home to check?" Upon hearing this, Liu Shile's heart stirred, and she quickly asked about it. Although she had her own mother, she still cared about the situation at home.

Grandma Wang's eyes flashed with a smile when she heard this. She knew this girl was kind-hearted, and that's why she thought of home as soon as she heard about the situation here.

She nodded and smiled, "Your second brother went back to check and found that there was nothing wrong at home, so he came back to continue working."

Grandma Wang said with worry, "Even so, I think the crops have probably all been damaged today, and I'm afraid everyone's life will be difficult."

Thinking about all this, Grandma Wang's joy at seeing Liu Shile return faded. If things were like this in their relatively good area, what must it be like in the more serious places?

The crops were all soaked by the rain, and all the grain that should have been harvested rotted in the water. How are we supposed to survive?

Liu Shile frowned slightly upon hearing this. To be honest, she was deeply shocked by what she saw on this trip, especially when she saw the soldiers and civilians risking their lives.

She used to think that many people in this era were foolish, knowing they might lose their lives for people and things that weren't very important.

But when she saw the sincere eyes and genuine gratitude of the people she had rescued, she suddenly understood why they had done what they did.

She used to think that after she came into this world, she could just live her own little life. But when she saw her older brother, who still had a head injury, going to build this world, she wavered.

Yes, her farm is somewhat useless. It has neither the spiritual spring water of other people nor any high technology, and she herself has no other abilities besides her martial arts skills.

However, she had experimented and found that the farm's seeds were high-yielding and extremely resilient. If they could be widely promoted, they might not change the world, but they could certainly feed more people.

But everything has a source. Where did she, a young girl studying medicine, get such high-yield crop seeds?

Don't say she brought them back from abroad. At this time, seed production in foreign countries is not high. The most important question is, where did she get the seeds from foreign countries?

"That's true. All I've seen along the way are destroyed fields. I don't know if the rain will stop. If it doesn't, we can at least try to replant some."

Liu Shile saw quite a few destroyed farmlands along the way, which was a real pity. Under normal circumstances, the rice would be ready for harvest soon, but now many of them were soaked and ruined, so it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that there was no harvest at all.

Grandma Wang nodded in deep agreement and added, "Who knows? I hope it won't rain anymore. Fortunately, the G family is now settled, otherwise life would be even more difficult."

Grandma Wang lived through the ravages of war. Back then, she even repaired an airport during a bombing raid by the Soviets. Life was much harder then than it is now.

Therefore, Grandma Wang feels that the peaceful life she has now is really good, and she hopes that it will be even better in the future, and that there will never be any more natural disasters like this.

But she knew that this was just wishful thinking, so she could only sigh like this. As an old woman, there was really not much she could do besides donating some food to help Z District.

"Then can't we plant some green manure in those destroyed fields?" Liu Shile thought of the green manure she had planted on the wasteland, and realized that she could make all sorts of things out of it.

Anyway, those things look pretty ordinary, it's just that some of them aren't local, but that doesn't matter, we can just grow local ones, right?

In paddy fields, you can plant water hyacinth, duckweed, and the like; in the soil, you can plant purple clover, vetch, and the like. This way, you can increase grain production next year.

Grandma Wang choked upon hearing this. She didn't know much about these things. She was already lucky to be able to grow some vegetables in the yard. As for green manure and such, she really didn't know anything about it.

However, she didn't pretend to know what she didn't. She shrugged and said, "Girl, I don't know anything about that. Come on, eat something to warm your stomach first, and we'll talk about the rest later."

Although she didn't understand, she guessed that Liu Shile's "green manure" was something like fertilizer. She wondered how the girl came up with that idea.

However, she immediately thought that the child loved reading and lived in a town, so she guessed that he had heard about it from someone or read it in a book.

She read quite a few books back then, so how come she didn't see these things?

Liu Shile didn't stand on ceremony and said sweetly, "Okay, I knew you were the best to me. I haven't had your cooking in so long, I've been craving it so much."

Her skin was thicker than a city wall. Back in Yizhou, she had eaten plenty of delicious food made by Master Du and her master. Now, she was coaxing the old lady without blushing at all.

Seeing her like this, Grandma Wang's smile grew even wider. After all, who doesn't want to hear compliments?

In fact, Liu Shile was really hungry. As soon as she finished speaking, she started eating without any hesitation.

She ate with such relish that Grandma Wang couldn't help but finish all her own food. Originally, some of the food was meant for Miaomiao, but now it all ended up in her stomach.

After the two finished eating, Grandma Wang exclaimed, "Girl, the way you eat is so appetizing! I've eaten all the food, and Miaomiao will be hungry."

As she was speaking, Miaomiao gracefully approached Liu Shile, leaped lightly into her arms, and affectionately nuzzled her hand.

Grandma Wang's lips twitched as she watched. She had been feeding and caring for the cat well all this time, but it had ignored her. Now, as soon as its owner came home, it started to fawn over her.
