When he came back from the village branch, his elder brother and sister-in-law were still waiting for Li Shaoan to come to the table for dinner.

"Why are there so long? Are there many people doing business today?" Tan Hongxia asked with concern.

"There are not many people, but I heard important news." Li Shaoan said.

"What news?"

"After the New Year, the new poverty alleviation policy above is below 3 yuan per mu of paddy fields and 1 yuan per mu of dry land."

Li Shaoguo, who had been eating for a while, couldn't help but raise his head, swallow the food in his mouth, and asked, "Where did you hear the news? Is it reliable?"

Li Shaoan whispered: "It was told by Mr. Zhao from the village that the news is absolutely reliable."

Tan Hongxia thought it was very strange. Zhao Xuemei has always been a famous beauty. She didn't talk much to anyone in the village. How could she tell Shaoan this?

"Shao'an, why would Mr. Zhao tell you this?"

Only then did Li Shaoan realize that once he talked about this, his relationship with Zhao Xuemei would inevitably attract attention. However, he still tried hard to make up a lie and covered it up: "At that time, I was outside the door and heard that Zhao Chuan and Huang Yunlong talked about this, so I found out by accident."

Tan Hongxia did not have any doubts. She believed what Li Shaoan said. The more important thing at the moment was to decide the next step.

"Shaoguo, what Shaoan said, should we contract a few more acres of paddy fields?"

Li Shaoan also said: "I heard from them that there are about 40 acres of paddy fields in the village now. Once this policy is implemented, contracting a mu of paddy fields is only 1 yuan more expensive than dry land. Everyone will definitely be rushing to ask for it, and we have to start first."

Li Shaoguo lowered his head and said nothing, looking like he was thinking. As the head of a family, the final decision was in his hands.

"Young Kingdom, what are you thinking about? We can't just miss such a good opportunity."

"Yes, brother, no matter what, I have to contract another ten acres of paddy fields."

Tan Hongxia and Li Shaoan were both trying their best to persuade Li Shaoguo.

Li Shaoguo is a typical honest farmer. He usually thinks that just by plowing one acre of three parts of his land is enough. If he wants him to take the initiative to acquire more land, it is really a matter that requires making up his mind.

"It's good, but I'm worried that I'll really have to take over it, who will plant it?"

Li Shaoguo expressed his concern. In his thoughts, the eight acres of paddy fields on hand will definitely be planted by himself and his wife next year. Li Shaoguo did not think that Li Shaoan could endure the hardship of farming, and he did not want to see Li Shaoan endure this hardship.

Based on previous years of farming experience, it is already the limit that the couple can reach to grow the ten acres of land. No matter how much they have, they will not have the energy to manage it. Although this opportunity is good now, even if they contract and don’t have the energy to plant and manage it, the harvest will be as terrible as the end of the day.

"If we don't contract ten acres, we will contract two acres. Haven't our two acres of dry land been given to Shaomin's family? We will get two acres of paddy fields to plant them the same as in previous years."

Tan Hongxia obviously had a different idea from Li Shaoguo. She didn't know that the firewood and rice were expensive if she was not in charge. She arranged the Li family, and of course she knew that the family needed money very much. Even if it was two acres of paddy fields, it could bring a considerable income.

Seeing that the eldest brother was still hesitating, Li Shaoan took the initiative to stand up this time and was bound to say, "Brother, if you don't want this field, I will also contract it myself."

"Then tell me, how do you plant this field?" Li Shaoguo sighed.

Li Shaoan said confidently: "You, me, and my sister-in-law, the three of us will plant it! At that time, the eighteen acres of land will be the best for three years in a year!"

"Shao'an, then you should talk to your brother and sister-in-law about your thoughts, at least let us know if this matter is feasible. If there is a clear idea, then my sister-in-law will support you unconditionally, and I believe your elder brother is the same." Tan Hongxia trusts Shao'an very much and tries to mediate between the two brothers, wanting to get Li Shaoguo to agree.

"Shaoguo, you are showing your opinion!" Tan Hongxia pushed Li Shaoguo with her elbow.

Li Shaoguo rarely spoke and said helplessly: "Okay, your sister-in-law is right. As long as this is indeed feasible, then your sister-in-law and I will fully support you."

Li Shaoan applauded and said excitedly: "I'm waiting for this sentence from my elder brother."

In order to make Li Shaoguo and Tan Hongxia feel confident, Li Shaoan said his plan in detail.

Tieshan Bay is located in the mountains with a high altitude, low temperature, poor planting conditions, and slow rice growth, so the farmers here can only plant rice for one season a year, plant rice in April and harvest in October. During the rest of the time, the fields are used to plant other crops. Even so, the idle rate of the fields is very high.

In order to solve the problem of idle farmland, Li Shaoan thought of changing the first season of rice to second season of rice, planting the seedlings at the end of February, harvesting early rice for about 100 days, and then rushing the farming time to plant the late rice again. After waiting for about 120 days, the late rice can be harvested again. After harvesting the late rice, planting rapeseed in the fields and harvesting rapeseed for one season, is also a considerable profit.

"Two seasons of rice?" Li Shaoguo was not very confident and said, "But our Tieshan Bay has always been planting one-season rice. The temperature here is too low, not as good as the plains outside. How can we plant two-season rice?"

Li Shaoan smiled steadily and said, "Brother, although the temperature is cold, we can transform it and create a warm environment for the seedlings to grow."

"How to create an environment?" Li Shaoguo was very curious, wondering if his younger brother had any new ideas.

"Isn't there a wood-room behind our house? It's full of debris. I want to transform it into a cultivation room."

Rice grows from a seed into seedlings. First, breed them and then breed them. According to the Tieshanwan method, select one acre of farming first, and cultivate all the rice seedlings to be planted in this acre of farming. When the seedlings grow, they will be divided into each acre of fields. Usually, this time is in mid-March, and after about ten days, the seedlings can start planting in separate fields.

According to Li Shaoan's idea, the utility room was transformed into a cultivation room, and artificially created a warm environment to allow the seeds to sprout and grow here. When the temperature outside rises, the seedlings were planted in the field.

"You said this method sounds good, but can it really work?" Li Shaoguo was not sure, after all, he had never done this before.

Li Shaoan smiled and said, "Brother, don't worry, these are the advanced knowledge I learned in school, and they have all been experimented with, so there is absolutely no problem. As long as we can grab this time, we can plant two seasons of rice in our land."

Tan Hongxia said at the right time: "Shaoguo, I think what Shaoan said makes sense, why don't we give it a try?"

"Well, it's true. If you can plant two seasons, it will definitely be much more harvest than the harvest in one season. But these eighteen acres of land are not easy." Li Shaoguo seemed to be a little moved, but he was still a little worried.

Tan Hongxia urged: "Don't worry about it. At worst, the couple will be tired at that time. If they can get more harvests of ten acres of land, our family will be able to live a better life next year."

Li Shaoguo finally made up his mind and made a decision: "Okay, then let me listen to you, hurry up and contract the ten acres of land."

Li Shaoan was relieved. As long as he explained it to the elder brother, there would undoubtedly be backing and support for this matter.

"Sister-in-law, help me get a hundred yuan. I will go to the county town to buy seeds in a few days."

"Okay, wait, I'll get it for you now."

Tan Hongxia entered the room and went to get money for Li Shaoan. She discussed the 300 yuan she had placed last time with Li Shaoguo, and kept it for the time being for Li Shaoan, and took it out when he could use it.

Li Shaoguo lit a cigarette, and there was no expression on his vicissitudes of life, and he said, "Shaoan, since you have an idea, my brother will support you with all his strength, let it go."

"Brother, thank you." Li Shaoan was very moved.
