These past few days, Zhao Yanli came over to help, and the Li siblings also came over. They started planting sweet potato seedlings.
To them, this kind of work is really nothing.
They finished it in two days, and every day, Shaoguang was responsible for unveiling the straw mats.
Next was the cotton seedlings, but they didn't plant much. The three families discussed it and decided on three acres per family, enough for their own use.
However, within two days, Ma Changshun came over to inform them of a mandatory task from the local authorities: each household must submit three hundred jin of processed cotton by the end of the year. And the price offered was not low, at one yuan and eighty cents per jin.
The three families were still okay with it; Su Yuanyuan had cotton seeds, so they didn't need to buy from the seed station. They started planting cotton seedlings again, with each family having enough for three acres.
"Yuanyuan, why is there a mandatory task?"
