Chapter 197: Spring seed
Chapter 197 Spring Seed
Before the first month was over, the spring rain began to fall as it wiped its tail. Except for a short sunny day on the day when Erlong raised his head in February, it was raining or brewing for the rest of the time.
This spring seems to come very early and very fast.
When the spring rain came, and the spring breeze blew again, the grass in the ground grew like a nutrient that Keke said. It was obvious that the weeds on both sides of the road only appeared a little before Manbao went to bed. He woke up on both sides of the road. It is already a piece of emerald green.
Then Man Bao carried her little bookcase and an umbrella that was not much larger than her to go to school.
The Zhou family brothers did not have such a good treatment as her. Although there was drizzle in the sky, they had to go to the ground.
Put on the clothes, carry the **** and plow, and go down to the ground.
Even Lao Zhoutou wore a suit and a straw hat together, so Saturday Lang would naturally go there too.
The Zhou family has a lot of fields, it is difficult to do the meticulous work that Keke said, even the rich white landlord can’t do it.
All fields with good water and soil are planted with rice, the next ones are planted with wheat, and the non-fields, which are dry land, are planted with various beans and fruits.
For example, winter melon, zucchini, pumpkin, etc. which Manbao doesn't like to eat very much.
Zhou’s family has a lot of land, but also has a lot of labor.
Plowing the land is almost a man’s business, but occasionally the little Qian and the others will carry their hoes together to level the ground.
In addition to the good fields for the family this year, the three wastelands they have opened should be more elaborate, because the valuable **** and yam to be planted there.
Especially ginger, even the newly-introduced Wed Lang had a great experience. For several evenings, he went to the ground in the dark to spread fertilizer, trying to raise the ground a little fatter before planting.
In order to curb the growth of grass in the ground, Wednesday Lang and the others sprinkled a thin layer of straw on the wasteland.
This is the secret discovered when Manbao was planting **** and yam last year.
Last year, because of the fluctuating temperature, they sprinkled a layer of straw on the ground to keep it warm after planting, and finally found that there were not so many weeds in the area covered by the straw.
So they did the same this year, and then when they planted, they would pull the straw away from the planting area, and it would be exposed after planting.
In this way, the **** pieces sprout and grow out, but the weeds have not yet grown, so they bought them a lot of time.
After all, this time is busy in spring, they are really busy.
This year, the family has another 20 acres of land in Chulang, so they may not be able to do part-time jobs at Baidizhu’s house.
This means that they will lose an income in the beginning of the spring. Of course, with the reduction of income now, when the wheat, beans and rice are harvested in the fall, they will get a higher income than in previous years.
In theory, if God looks good enough, this year can be as smooth as the past three years.
But the weather this year is indeed a bit strange.
In the beginning of spring, it rained continuously, and the water in the field gradually increased. Old Zhou had to take his sons to release the water, and when he looked sadly at God, the sky was clear after two days. .
Lao Zhoutou hardly dared to neglect, and immediately took his family to plant the seedlings. Even Ertou and Erya were given to the field. The whole family except for the four small ones, Manbao, Santou Sanya and Sitou. Besides, even the Qians are so busy.
Because everyone in the family goes to the ground, she naturally has to bear the housework. Even if she can’t do heavy work, it’s okay to cook and clean the yard.
In addition, there are a few small helpers from Man Bao. In this way, one sick and four young children can help the family.
Grabbing seeds in spring is as tiring as harvesting in autumn. Family members lose weight at a speed visible to the naked eye. Man Bao feels distressed. He opens his money box and counts the copper plates inside and counts out twenty liters to buy. Meat.
She thinks that although pork meat is not as delicious as lamb, it is cheaper.
In the long run, it is more cost-effective to buy pork meat, but I feel a little embarrassed. After all, she will sell mutton at the Sisao’s house in the future, and the two meat stalls will be together.
The big head who took the money and was responsible for buying meat obviously also knew this. Every time he went to buy meat, he would ask Chu Lang if he had anything to tell him.
Thursday, Lang Chun was too busy and tired. He didn't have the brain to think about more things. Hearing this, he pulled a bunch of wild flowers from the side of the road and gave him, "Give it to her for me."
Man Bao likes to put flowers, flowers, and grasses in his own room. When there are no flowers, weeds can be placed. Even Da Ya and Er Ya are also a few. Every day he pesters his brother to make bamboo vase flower arrangements for them.
So Chu Lang came to the conclusion that girls like flowers and plants.
He doesn’t have anything else, but there are many flowers and grasses. They are everywhere on the road and on the mountain.
When the people on the road are torn up by him, he will pull some beautiful flowers from the mountain when he is working and resting, and let Man Bao pick out the remaining pots to soak in the water, and the next day, he will fill it with water. Big head, let him bring it to Fang Xiaoniang when he goes to buy meat.
So, since the spring is busy, Datou has to go to the big market every day to buy meat. Most of the time, he buys pork meat and occasionally lamb.
But no matter what kind of meat he buys, he will replace the fourth uncle to send a bunch of flowers to the future fourth aunt.
Don’t talk about the Fang family, but the entire Dali Village knows it. Everyone said after dinner and, “Don’t say, this week, the four boys still value the second girl very much. The second girl’s husband-in-law is a good choice.”
As for the Zhou family’s behavior of going to the meat stall next door to buy meat, some people murmured in their hearts, even the Fang family felt a little uncomfortable in their hearts, but after more than ten days, everyone was only comfortable in their hearts. .
As for not buying meat from Yue’s family and running at the meat stall next door, everyone also expressed their understanding from the bottom of their hearts.
On the one hand, everyone feels that Zhou’s conditions are not as good as those of Shang’s family, so they can only choose cheaper pork meat, but on the other hand, there are not many people in this rural area who can afford meat every day.
At least the head of Dali Village is not willing to eat this way.
In such a comparison, it seems that the Zhou family's family background is pretty good.
Anyway, the Cheng family felt relieved a lot. She said, “Although their family only buys meat every day during the busy farming period, there may not be many people doing this. Obviously, they still have a family.”
At least not worse than the ones they had seen before. The families of those families looked thicker than Zhou's, but they seemed unwilling to eat meat every day on such days.
Fang’s family is the butcher. The villagers in several nearby villages want to buy meat, and most of them come to Dali Village.
So they don’t know the best of whose family background.
Fang Butcher arrived: "It's only been two months. I will go out as soon as the spring busy is over. During this time, let her go out less and cover it. Maybe she can cover it a little bit. I see on Thursday. The kid is fine, just that face and that mouth are okay."
Obviously, Fang Tuhu also wants his daughter to match Chu Lang from the appearance.
The comment area is closed. I want to see everyone’s comments.
