Chapter 262: Opening the Toilet to Welcome Guests

"Dad, Dad, please come out and take a look!" A man ran into an ordinary farmyard with an excited face.

There are four or five mud-brick houses in the yard, and a neat thatched shed with a few bundles of firewood next to it. The yard is spacious, and although things are a bit messy, it is clean and tidy. It looks like a well-off family.

An old man who was weaving hemp ropes was sitting next to the firewood. When he heard his son's shouting, he gently reprimanded him, "You are so grown up, why haven't you learned to be steady?" Although his voice was stern, his expression was gentle and not scary at all.

The young man ignored his father's cold face, pulled his father's arm, and hurriedly said: "Dad, don't talk about me first, something big has happened, come with me to the field to take a look first."

An old woman nearby was shocked when she heard that something serious had happened. She asked hurriedly, "What happened in the field? What happened?" The common people depended on the crops in the field. What if something happened? She was a little anxious thinking about it.

The young man quickly explained: "Don't worry, Dad and Mom, it's a good thing. Come with me to take a look first."

The two old men didn't know what was going on, but since it was related to the fields, they had to go and check on them. Others stayed at home, while others hurried to the fields.

In the fields, two adjacent fields showed different effects. Tender sprouts had already grown on one field, and the field looked like it was wearing a green dress, while the field next to it was still bare with only a few scattered bits of green that could not be seen without careful observation. The difference between the two fields was clearly visible to the naked eye.

"This... piece of land, is..." The old man hurriedly squatted down and looked carefully at the vibrant green sprouts that had just emerged from the ground. They were indeed wheat seedlings. They were full of vitality just after coming out of the ground. They were growing really well.

"Dad, this is the field that has been fertilized. Dad's fertilization really works! It will definitely work. We will definitely have a good harvest." The young man repeated happily.

The old man stroked the newly unearthed seedlings with trembling hands, his eyes becoming brighter and brighter, as if he had regained vitality: "I just know it's right, that's the court, that's the court, what it said must be true, it's all true."

The old lady next to her also nodded, looking at the newly unearthed seedlings, nodding her head. This must be a good harvest!

"Let's go, let's go back quickly." The old man seemed to remember something, and suddenly stood up and rushed home.

"Hey, Dad, what are we going to do back home?"

"Work, what for?" the old man replied unhappily, his pace becoming faster and faster.

Perhaps it was because he was excited, or perhaps he walked too fast, but when he got home the old man's face was still beaming. He went back and gathered his family together to talk about what happened in the fields.

"That's what I told you. That's what the court said. You must be very well-educated, so what they said must be right." A woman with a weathered face said as if she was proud of it.

"Oh, they are all educated people, they must know more than us, how could they be wrong?"

"Alas, we should have listened to the court earlier and watered the fields with manure... no, we should have applied flying... fertilizer. The seeds must have sprouted by now, and we can harvest a lot more grain." A middle-aged man with a simple and honest face said this with a look of regret, as if he had lost a lot of grain and looked heartbroken.

After hearing what he said, the others no longer cared about bragging about the power of the court and the scholars. They all looked regretful and wished they could go back to the past and fertilize all the fields.

"Okay, calm down and listen to me first." The old man put his hands behind his back and spoke with a serious face.

"Now we can confirm that this fertilizer can indeed fertilize the land. I looked carefully at the wheat seedlings and they are very strong. As long as nothing unexpected happens, even if the income does not increase, it will definitely not be worse than in previous years. The difference in the fields is so obvious that people in our village will soon discover it. There are so many fields in the village and there is not enough fertilizer."

"Yes, what can we do? Let's go dig now."

The woman said anxiously that there was a manure pit behind the village. In the past, the villagers didn't care about it. It was okay for women, but men really had to go wherever they went... But usually every family had a manure pit, and if the manure pit was full, they couldn't dig any more, so the village dug a pit at the back, and the feces of the chickens and pigs were all there. Usually no one went there, and although there was a lot of feces there, it was not much to be shared by the whole village.

If they don't hurry up, they may not get a share when the time comes. Thinking of this, they stood up and wanted to go to work. They had to pick more so that the crops could grow well.

"Come back and wait for me to finish speaking," the old man scolded.

"As the village chief, I will definitely inform the villagers. Some villages have more fields, while others have less. The manure pits will be allocated based on who comes first or how much land there is. Don't we still have two acres of land ready for planting beans? You can go pick up the manure and deliver it directly there. Many families in the village have already planted their crops, so it's too late to get fertilizer. This way, there will be enough for the remaining land."

"Also, repair the toilet at home, so that we can use it at home from now on. No one can waste fertilizer outside. Dig a pit behind our house. I heard from the adults that the fertilizer cannot be used directly but needs to be fermented. Our fertilizer will be fermented there from now on. Remember to dig it far away."

After that, everyone got busy. There weren't that many buckets at home, so there was a lot to do, but they all proceeded simultaneously.

The wheat seedlings were growing in the fields, and anyone with eyes could see the difference. Even if no one pointed it out, people soon realized what was going on, and the manure pit that everyone in the village had avoided was now a destination that everyone was flocking to.

Even if they don't need it temporarily, they will still carry two buckets for fear of being at a disadvantage. Therefore, the manure pits that have been visited are basically dug three feet deep into the ground. If it weren't for the faint stench in the air, no one would believe that this is a manure pit and would think it is a dug pool.

There are many more people in the village running home with distorted faces and weird postures...?

In the past, if you could go to someone else's house to relieve yourself, you would definitely follow the principle of proximity, even if people complained about you. And if you were outside, you would try to finish the task before going home, after all, it would be troublesome to clean up these things. But now?

Humph... Even if I'm going to suffocate to death, I can't let others get away with it. There are many families who have built toilets. If they clean the toilets better, maybe someone will come to them to relieve themselves. In the past, people hoped that they would go away as far as possible, but now they can't wait to open the toilets to welcome guests.

The only bad thing is that there is a faint foul smell above almost every village, but I guess no one pays attention to this now because everyone is busy. In addition to people, there are also many chickens, dogs and other things in the village.

The children were told that if they saw any manure on the road, they should use a shovel to shovel out their own manure pits, as it would all be good stuff.

As a result, the children don't want to go out anymore. As a result, the hygiene in the village has improved a lot. They no longer have to worry about stepping on something when going out.
