Chapter 385: Reward Given to the Wrong Person (5)_1
Chunks of red sweet potatoes were dug out and piled on the ground. The abundant harvests formed mounds. Some even made slicers to slice the sweet potatoes right in the field and dry them in the sun there. The sunlight was better in the fields than at home, and once dried, the slices could be ground into flour to stave off hunger.
The yield of red sweet potatoes for each household was not low, and the autumn crop was even more abundant than the summer one, signifying a successful harvest. Especially for the Wang family and Chang’s house, each owning two hundred acres of mediocre quality land, but since sweet potatoes aren’t choosy about soil, they reaped a massive harvest.
Wu Dongsi was anxious! The higher-ups were awaiting the performance report!
Pei Qin organized the data and delivered it to the County Government Office.
After reviewing it, Wu Dongsi immediately revised the petition once more, requesting rewards for Pei Qin, as well as writing a letter to Elder Shen, seeking his own career advancement. He sent it off as quickly as possible.
Meng Dinglun did not dare to interfere and immediately expressed his support by forwarding the petition to the higher levels.
The Shen family initiated the planting of sweet potatoes, and there were not many who dared to obstruct the petition, for Shen Bi was well aware of this as well.
Shen Songming obtained a copy of the data from Pei Qin and took it directly to Shen Bi, hoping to secure a greater reward for Pei Qin. With such a reward, marrying her would be much easier!
