Chapter 232 What should I do if I make a mistake?
These people looked at Wei Ruo with hostility.
The faces of the ladies who saw this scene showed surprise expressions.
Looking at the villagers in front of him who were full of hostility towards him, Wei Ruo explained again: "Your rice seedlings may have already suffered from bakanae disease, and they showed the symptoms of bakanae disease: the leaf sheaths are longer, the leaf color is yellowish, and the knots are too thick. The spacing is too large, and the nodes are slightly bent and exposed outside the leaf sheath. If you don’t deal with it in time, it will affect your harvest this year. It is still too late to replace the seedlings and re-grow seedlings.”
"You are scaring people with nonsense! What is Bakanae disease? Where did you hear it?" The old man at the beginning asked angrily.
"I read it in a book about farming." Wei Ruo replied.
She can only say this, and she cannot say that it is the knowledge she acquired in her previous life, knowing that this is a plant infection.
"Nonsense! I've been farming for thirty-eight years! I've never heard of bakanae disease! I don't care what book you read."
Several other villagers nodded.
"Uncle Jiang is right. Farming is the business of our farmers. It has nothing to do with you, and it has nothing to do with your book. Just don't curse us."
"It's from a little girl's family. Why are you talking so viciously? Curse us for not having a good harvest this year. Accumulate more virtue!"
Under the angry eyes of several villagers, Wei Ruo got up and left, returning to the team.
"Ruo'er, what's going on?" Yun asked with concern.
"It's nothing, let's go on." Wei Ruo said.
"Qing Ruo, they didn't hurt you, did they?" Madam Tongzhi stepped forward and gave Wei Ruo a concerned look.
"Thank you, madam, for your concern. I'm fine, but I have some disagreements with them. Let's move on." Wei Ruo said.
After hearing the words, Mrs. Tongzhi didn't ask any more questions.
After Wei Ruo left, the villagers pointed at Wei Ruo's back and cursed a lot.
Arriving at Mrs. Tongzhi's farm, the long-term workers here are also busy in the fields.
Wei Ruo also observed the seedlings in the field, and found that the situation in the Zhuangzi was the same as that in the field outside.
Wei Ruo looked at Mrs. Tongzhi beside him again, and after thinking for a while, he said to Mrs. Tongzhi, "Ma'am, I think there is something wrong with this batch of rice seeds. The seedlings grown from it may have been infected."
Madam Tongzhi looked at Wei Ruo, remembering what she had said to the farmers outside.
After pondering for a while, he said to his wife, "I know the accounts of the farmer very clearly, but I don't know how the crops in the field grow well. Why don't I call the steward of my farm in a while, and I will trouble Miss Qingruo with you. He told me how to deal with these damaged seedlings and how to remedy them."
Wei Ruo looked at Mrs. Tongzhi in surprise: "Madam doesn't doubt what I said? What if what I said is wrong?"
Mrs. Tongzhi smiled: "First of all, you have no reason to deliberately tell such a lie. For you, if you are right at this time, you will not get half of the benefits, and if you are wrong, you will suffer embarrassment in vain. Secondly, even if you It doesn’t matter if you are wrong? Although I don’t know much about farming, I know it’s still early and there is still time to change the seedlings, and it doesn’t take much effort to change a wave, and I don’t need to do it myself.”
Madam Tongzhi’s words made Wei Ruo’s affection for her increase a lot.
At the same time, Wei Ruo also breathed a sigh of relief: "Then Madam will take me to meet the steward of Zhuangzi, and I will explain the remedy to him in detail."
After Wei Ruo finished speaking with Madam Tongzhi, Mrs. Yun pulled Wei Ruo over and questioned in a low voice:
"Is the bakanae disease real? Could it be that you are talking nonsense? Or maybe the book you read about rice is unreliable, what should you do if you make a mistake?"
Wei Ruodao: "Don't worry, even if something goes wrong, the one who lost is mine. If Mrs. Tongzhi is angry, it's me alone. I won't implicate you and the Wei family."
"What are you talking about? You are the eldest daughter of the Wei family, and your words and deeds represent the Wei family. When did you become so clear?" Yun was dissatisfied with Wei Ruo's words.
"Even if you can't tell the difference, there's nothing you can do. I've already said it. You can either choose to believe me once, or continue to worry about it." Wei Ruo said.
Anyway, you can't take back what you say. Even if Yun doesn't believe it, she can't change anything now.
Wen Yan Yun was a little dissatisfied, but he really had nothing to do with Wei Ruo.
What she is dissatisfied with is her daughter's attitude towards herself. She is her mother, just ask her a few words and she will explain it well. Such a gesture really does not take her mother seriously.
Could it be wrong for a mother to ask her daughter a few words?
If it weren't for the presence of so many outsiders today, Yun would have talked to her in a good way anyway!
While Mrs. Yun was talking to Wei Ruo, Mrs. Tongzhi had sent someone to call the nanny in charge of the Zhuangzi.
Then Mrs. Tongzhi really asked the nanny in charge to ask Wei Ruo about the broken seedlings.
Wei Ruo told the nanny in charge that the seedlings might be sick and needed to be replaced, and how to re-select and re-raise seedlings to avoid such a situation from happening again.
The nanny in charge is Mrs. Tongzhi's confidant, so she can naturally figure out Mrs. Tongzhi's thoughts.
Carefully wrote down what Wei Ruo said, and said that he would seriously follow Wei Ruo's instructions.
After the episode, everyone wandered around the Xu family's farm for a while, and then drank tea in the pavilion arranged by Madam Tongzhi in advance.
I talked about outings and caring for farmers, but I also know that they are all the female relatives of powerful families who are used to rich clothes and food. It is impossible to really make them tired, and even walking more is not enough.
So the form of this trip is greater than the actual meaning, it is just to gain a reputation.
Wei Ruozi knew the truth of this, so it was not surprising to see everyone sitting down after walking for less than a cup of tea.
Wei Ruo sat down leisurely with the crowd, sipping tea and basking in the sun, while taking a look at the scenery.
Then Wei Ruo saw all the Anzhou students riding past in the distance.
It seems that they are having a riding and shooting competition, and the venue is the open space of Xu's farm.
They set up archery targets in the open space, rode over, opened their bows and shot arrows to see if they shot the most accurately, so as to distinguish between good and bad results.
Wei Ruo was watching, and Mrs. Tong Zhi said to Wei Ruo half-jokingly: "I heard that they were going to ride and shoot when I was having lunch just now. It happened that there was an open space on the farm, so I asked them to practice on the open space. It just happened to be given to me. Let's watch the fun and relieve boredom."
"En." Wei Ruo responded.
Then Mrs. Tongzhi pointed to the man in the green clothes in the crowd and said: "The man in the green clothes and the brown horse is the dog. Now he is studying in Anzhou College like your brother, and he will take the provincial examination this autumn."
