Chapter 214 Want to start a new era?

Liu Shihua wanted to say something more, but seeing Guangjie's determined look, she said helplessly, "Alright, but we'll need your help again if we need anything in the future, so you can't refuse."

Wang Guangjie breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, and nodded with a smile, "Of course, we're good brothers, just let me know if anything happens."

After receiving the money, the group chatted and laughed as they walked back. They had been exhausted these past few days, and the worst part was that they hadn't told their families about it.

As they parted, Liu Shile suddenly asked, "Brother Wang, are there many people in our town who are reclaiming wasteland?"

Wang Guangjie was slightly taken aback when he heard this. It was a difficult question to answer. As far as he knew, not many people in the town had reclaimed land, but it seemed that quite a few people in the countryside had done so.

However, due to the unfavorable situation this year, a lot has been ruined, and the current situation does not seem to be very good.

"Lele, why are you asking this?" In Wang Guangjie's memory, Lele was not someone who cared about these kinds of questions. If she weren't close to his sister, she probably wouldn't have paid any attention to him.

Could Liu Shile say that what she saw and heard on this trip touched her? Obviously not, so she just smiled slightly and said, "I was just asking out of curiosity. If there are enough, I'd like to find a place to start my own adventure."

"What? Lele, you want to start a new field?" Wang Guangying could hardly believe that Lele had said this. She quickly said, "Lele, starting a new field is no fun. It's exhausting."

When she visited her maternal grandfather's house, she heard her cousins ​​complain about this quite a bit. Besides, who's going to farm the land that Lele cleared? Aunt Zhang? Forget it, she'd never know how to farm!

"It's alright, I'm here. I'll drive it." Liu Shihua didn't mind. Although he had never farmed before, he could still do physical labor.

Wang Guangying rolled her eyes at him and said irritably, "Where do you find the time to clear land? Don't you want to quit your temporary job at the grain station?"

Well, that is indeed a problem, but he was quite quick-witted. After thinking for a moment, he said, "How about we find a place to clear land in the mountains behind the school?"

He could just sleep less. Over the past year, he had learned a lot from his sister, especially the knowledge in textbooks, which he had also been learning on his own.

However, he can't do what his sister does, where he can learn everything after reading a book. Instead, he has to listen to the teacher's explanation and take notes at school to show his sister.

But if his sister really intended to start a new project, he thought he could ask Guangjie to take notes, and then the two of them could look at the notes.

Alternatively, he could listen to his sister explain the problems. After all, his sister seems very capable now and has even taught him her study methods.

Last semester, their school's academic performance improved significantly, and he heard his classmates praise his younger sister quite often.

Whenever Liu Shihua heard people praise his younger sister, he felt sweeter than if he had eaten honey. He felt both proud and honored, which made him happier than if others praised him.

Hearing her second brother's words, Liu Shile was quite surprised. She never expected that her second brother would be so bold as to directly clear land on the back mountain of the school.

The school's back hill connects to deep mountains, so finding a place to cultivate wasteland is a good idea. Anyway, she wants to find a place to experiment with high-yield seeds, so anywhere is fine.

So she thought it was feasible because it would be more convenient for her to do things.

"Lele, Shihua, why do you want to clear land? You're still students, even if you clear land, you won't have time to farm."

Lele, weren't you going to take Uncle Liu to another place to treat his leg? Shihua, you have to work at the grain station on weekends. If you go to reclaim wasteland, are you not going to school or work?

"Is it because you made some money today that you're not planning to study seriously anymore? You're all still thinking about going to university, how can you not study hard?"

Wang Guangjie felt he couldn't understand the brother and sister anymore; why did they keep changing their minds?

Although Lele's grades are good and she has no problem getting into university, why does she still bother to clear land? It's not like she doesn't have money; she just made a lot of money!

If I spend this money sparingly, I reckon it will last me a while while I'm in college. But if I can sell a batch of shisha fruit every year, I won't have to worry about money for college.

"Well, I just feel that the grain yield is too low, and I'd like to get a piece of land to see if I can increase the yield a bit?" Liu Shile thought for a moment and didn't hide anything.

Anyway, if they 'successfully' produce high-yield seeds in the future, they'll know, so it doesn't matter if it's a little earlier.

After saying that, she showed a hint of sympathy and said, "Look at how many fields have been destroyed by this year's heavy rains. Many places have no harvest at all. It's so pitiful."

I was thinking, if grain production increases and every household has enough stored grain each year, then even if we encounter another natural disaster like this, we won't go hungry, right?

Wang Guangjie and Wang Guangying were clearly taken aback by her words. Was this really the Liu Shile they knew? Had she been switched with someone else?

She's not a compassionate person, especially towards strangers; she can't be bothered to even glance at them. Has this girl taken the wrong medicine today?

“You have hurt me so much. You don’t know, but I haven’t actually been in the county town for more than a month. I went to Yizhou instead.”

I saw many people and things there, and I found that everyone was living very earnestly. Unfortunately, natural disasters are merciless, so many people still suffered.

So I thought, if only there were some drought-resistant, flood-resistant, and high-yielding crops, that way even if we encountered a situation like this again, it wouldn't be too bad.

At this, both Wang Guangjie and his sister widened their eyes, especially Wang Guangying, who grabbed Liu Shile's hand excitedly and said, "Lele, you, you went to the disaster relief? Why didn't you take me with you? I wanted to go to the disaster relief too!"

She didn't doubt that Liu Shile was lying, because she knew that Shile would never lie, and she genuinely wanted to go to the disaster relief effort, but her family wouldn't allow it.

Well, the most important thing is that she felt that she might not only be unable to help, but would also be a hindrance, so she was persuaded by her family not to go.

Hearing that Liu Shile had gone there, he was incredibly excited and immediately pulled Liu Shile aside to ask about the situation there.

Liu Shile was helpless. She was talking about reclaiming wasteland, but this girl was interested in the outside world.

"Alright, Ying'er, stop bothering Lele with these things. We can talk about them later. Now, let's talk about Lele. Do you perhaps want to go to an agricultural university?"

Wang Guangjie couldn't stand it anymore. If his father hadn't scared his sister, saying that she was a delicate little girl and would be a burden to others, she probably would have actually gone to help with disaster relief.

It's a good thing Lele didn't tell her when she left, otherwise even if she was a burden, she probably would have gone with her. My sister is getting wilder and wilder!

“Lele is going to medical school, not agricultural school,” Liu Shihua said quietly. In fact, he didn’t know why his sister wanted to reclaim wasteland, but as long as she wanted to do it, he would support her and help her.
