Everyday heroes

Chapter 175 The Family Farm
"Thanks to Wu Yazhen's parents for their unique sharing."

The questioning went on for quite some time, and the female teacher quickly interjected while no one was continuing to ask questions.

If Guan Lang was allowed to talk endlessly, how long would it take for this parent meeting to end.

The applause from the audience was thunderous, and this time it was much more enthusiastic than Guan Lang's applause before he took the stage.

"call."

Guan Lang, who got off the podium and sat back in his seat, took a deep breath.

Finally, he ended his speech this time.

The questions just now were not all about the nutritional and dietary knowledge he knew, but also involved his blind spots. Even ordinary questions were enough to make him rack his brains to recall the knowledge he had accumulated over such a period of time.

Just a few minutes of asking questions made him a little dizzy, but fortunately the head teacher interrupted.

After all, he is not a nutritionist who graduated from a nutrition major, and he certainly cannot answer all nutritional and dietary questions.

As the parent meeting progressed, it was almost five o'clock.

But the parent-teacher meeting is not over yet, and there is the last parent-child activity.

Arranged on the third floor of the school's gymnasium.

Guan Lang followed the crowd of parents and went up to the third floor of the gymnasium under the guidance of the teacher.

The students have already arrived here early.

But it didn't take long.

Considering that it was almost time for dinner, under the arrangement of the teacher, only interactive games such as two-person three-legged, running with the ball, etc. were played.

Before six o'clock, the parents' meeting will officially end the dissolution.

Guan Lang and Wu Yazhen, who was holding the cat, walked side by side on the way back.

Now that summer is approaching, the days are getting longer, and the sun has not yet set at six o'clock, and the sky is gray, which is just before dark.

The sidewalk lights gradually came on.

"Aren't you curious about what the teacher said at the parent meeting? Aren't you worried that the teacher said something bad about you?" Guan Lang glanced sideways at his little cousin, and found that she was stroking Qianqiu's back calmly.

Wu Yazhen glanced at him suspiciously, thought for a while, and shook her head.

Guan Lang smiled helplessly.

Really confident.

But the teacher did say it was all her praise.

The shadows of the two grew longer and longer under the illumination of the street lamps.

At ten o'clock in the morning, Guan Lang went to the flower and tree market where he bought potted plants for Qin Yanxi's mother last time.

I picked some plants and called a tricycle to help deliver them to the yard.

Then went to the market for a walk.

At this time, there are plant seedlings piled up on the open space in the yard.

On the southwest side of Guanlang's courtyard, there is an open space of about five or six square meters that can be used as a place to plant and cultivate his small family vegetable garden.

He envisioned planting some vegetables, fruits and vegetables here, which would not only add greenery to the garden, but also make him feel more at ease eating the crops he planted, at least he would not use pesticides himself.

Although Jiangcheng is only a small third-tier city, for a child like him who grew up in a town, the thought of being able to cultivate his own family vegetable garden gives him a sense of satisfaction and a sense of ritual in life.

Plant the crops by yourself, water and fertilize them, and finally harvest the fruits.

It's like playing a realistic farming game.

To this end, he also watched some teaching videos of family farms to enrich his poor farming knowledge.

Guan Lang came over early in the morning and turned the soil back and forth several times with a big hoe, and beat it loose with a small chisel.

Wastes such as fallen leaves and peeled vegetables are mixed in the soil.

However, it is obvious that simply turning the soil is not enough as a soil for planting.

So Guan Lang went to a chicken farm near the market and bought a few bags of sandy soil mixed with chicken manure to fertilize the land.

Guan Lang poured the light yellow chicken manure sand out of the bag into the future farm of a few square meters.

Use a shovel to spread the chicken manure roughly flat in the small farm, and then hold a small manure fork more than 20 centimeters long to plow the chicken manure until it becomes soft again.

He is going to divide the six-square-meter farm into two pieces, isolated from each other.

A small patch of soil is reserved for planting watermelon seedlings.

With the recent popularity of family gardens or rooftop farms in big cities, merchants in the flower and tree market naturally followed the business opportunities and added seedlings of crops like watermelon, eggplant, and tomato as commodities.

It saves the long steps of raising seedlings for those urbanites who are going to plant crops in the garden or on the roof.

Guan Lang bought some crop seedlings today, but due to the small size of his farm, he could only buy some varieties that are convenient for planting.

Most of them are less delicate crops such as watermelon seedlings, tomato cuttings, and eggplant seedlings.

Nearly two square meters of soil are used to grow tomatoes.

Guan Lang listened to the store's recommendation, and instead of buying tomato seedlings, he bought some cuttings, intending to try this cutting planting method.It is said that the new tomato plants that are propagated through the side branches of mature tomato plants and cuttings can bloom and bear fruit in about a month, which is very simple and trouble-free.

This moved Guan Lang very much.

These branches have been soaked in clean water, and many white fibrous roots have grown from the lower ends.

After this treatment, compared with directly inserting the branches into the soil, the growth cycle of the planted crops and the success rate of cuttings will be significantly improved.

Guan Lang buried the green twigs in the soil and planted them in the mood of a good harvest.

The cutting process is very simple. Each seedling is separated by a distance of about [-] centimeters, and the row spacing is one meter, and they are planted along two rows.

According to the tutorial, these cutting seedlings were not suitable for light in the first few days, so Guan Lang used a layer of gauze and bamboo poles to support them and clip them on top of these seedlings to block the sun.

After working for a long time, these tomato seedlings have settled in Guan Lang's small farm safely, and it is unknown how many of these seedlings will survive.

Guan Lang wiped the fine sweat from his forehead and continued his planting work.

Then he planted eggplant seedlings in the vegetable field one by one according to the tutorials he found from the Internet.

The watermelon seedlings he bought have very strong vines, and after planting them in sandy soil, they are also shaded and watered.

He didn't leave some open spaces in the corners unused. After making holes in the ground with a small chisel, Guan Lang carefully buried the onion and garlic he peeled out into the soil.

He hummed softly in his mouth: "I planted a seed, and it finally grew fruit. Today is a great day."

Put a layer of dry straw on the soil where the onion and garlic are planted to keep warm, and then water it thoroughly, and you're done!

Guan Lang, with his hips akimbo, felt a little satisfied as he watched the former open space turn into a small field where greenery was beginning to emerge.

I really hope to harvest fruits and vegetables as soon as possible!

In the future, he will grow whatever he wants to eat.
