Farmer’s Blessed Girl
Chapter 197 Spring Seeds
Before the first month was over, the spring rain began to fall after wiping its tail. Except for the brief sunny day on the day when the dragon raised its head in February, it was either raining or brewing rain.
This year's spring seems to be extraordinarily early and extraordinarily fast.
When the spring rains and the spring breeze blows again, the grass in the ground grows up like the nutrient that Keke said. Obviously, the weeds on both sides of the road before Manbao go to bed are only a little. It's already green.
Then Man Bao went to school with her little bookbox and an umbrella that was not much bigger than hers.
The Zhou brothers were not treated as well as her. Although there was drizzle in the sky, they had to go down to the ground.
Put on a shovel, and go down to the ground with a hoe and a plow.
Even the old Zhou Tou was wearing a mink robe and a straw hat, so naturally Saturday Lang also went.
The Zhou family has a lot of fields, and it is difficult to do the meticulous work that Keke said, even the rich white landlord's family can't do it.
The fields with good water and soil are all planted with rice, the lesser ones are planted with wheat, and the non-field, the dry land, are planted with various beans and melons.
For example, wax gourd, zucchini, pumpkin, etc., which Manbao does not like to eat.
The Zhou family has a lot of land, but also a lot of labor.
Ploughing is almost a matter for men, but occasionally Xiao Qian and the others will go down to level the land with their hoes.
This year, in addition to the good fields at home, the three wastelands they opened should be more careful, because the valuable ginger and yams to be planted there.
Especially with ginger, even Zhou Lang, who had just entered the business, was very impressed. For several evenings, he went to the ground to spread fertilizer in the dark, trying to make the ground a little fatter before planting.
In order to suppress the growth of grass in the field, Wednesday Lang and the others sprinkled a thin layer of straw into the wasteland.
This is the secret that Manbao discovered last year when he was growing ginger and yam.
Last year, because the temperature fluctuated greatly, in order to keep warm after planting, they spread a layer of straw on the ground to keep warm. In the end, they found that there were not many weeds in the place covered by the straw.
So this year they did the same, and then when planting, they pulled the straw away from the place where they were planted, and exposed it after planting.
In this way, the ginger pieces sprout and grow, and the weeds have not yet grown, which bought them a lot of time.
After all, this time is busy in spring, and they are really busy.
This year, the family has another 20 acres of land for Shirou Lang, so they probably won't be able to go to the landlord's house to do day labor.
This means that they will lose an income in the spring, and of course, with the reduction in income now, when the wheat, beans and rice are harvested in autumn, they will get a higher income than in previous years.
In theory, if God is good enough, this year can be as good as the past three years.
But this year's weather is a little weird.
In the beginning of spring, it began to rain continuously, and the water in the fields gradually increased. Old Zhoutou had to take his sons to release water. He looked at God with a sad face, and within two days, the sky was clear. .
Old Zhoutou hardly dared to neglect, and immediately took his family to plant the bred seedlings, and even Ertou and Erya went into the field. Besides, even the Qian family was very busy.
Because everyone in the family is on the ground, she naturally has to take on the housework. Even if she can't do heavy work, she can do things like cooking and cleaning the yard.
In addition, there are several children from Man Bao to help, so, one sick and four children can help the family.
Harvesting seeds in spring is as tiring as harvesting in autumn. The family loses weight at a speed visible to the naked eye. Man Bao is so distressed that he opens his money box and counts the copper plates in it. Meat.
She felt that although pork meat was not as tasty as mutton, it was cheap.
In the long run, it is more cost-effective to buy pork meat, but I feel a little embarrassed. After all, her fourth sister-in-law's family will sell mutton in the future, and the two meat stalls are placed together.
The big head who took the money and was in charge of buying meat obviously knew this, and every time he went to buy meat, he would ask Shirou if he had anything to say to him.
On Thursday, Lang Chun was so busy and tired that he didn't have the mind to think about more things. Hearing this, he grabbed a bunch of wild flowers from the roadside and stuffed them into him, "Give it to her for me."
Man Bao likes to put flowers and plants in his room. When there are no flowers, wild plants can be placed there, even Daya and Erya. Every day, he pesters the second brother to make bamboo vase flower arrangements for them.
So Thursday Lang came to a conclusion that girls like flowers and plants.
He doesn't have anything else, but there are many flowers and plants, on the road, on the mountain, and everywhere.
When he gets rid of all the ones on the road, he will pick up some beautiful flowers from the mountain while he is resting, and let Manbao pick the rest of the pots and put them in water, and the next day, they will be filled with water. Big head, let him bring it to Mrs. Fang when he goes to buy meat.
Therefore, since the busy spring season, Datou has to go to Daji every day to buy meat, most of the time he buys pork meat, and occasionally mutton.
But no matter what meat he buys, he will send a bouquet of flowers to the future aunt instead of the fourth uncle.
Not to mention the Fang family, everyone in Dali Village knew about it. After dinner, everyone said, "Don't say it, the four boys in the Zhou family still value Er Niu very much. Er Niu is a good husband-in-law."
As for the Zhou family's behavior of always going to the meat stall next door to buy meat, there were still people muttering in their hearts in the first few days, even the Fang family was a little uncomfortable, but after the flowers were delivered for more than ten days, everyone was only comfortable. .
As for not buying meat from Yue's house and going to the meat stall next door, everyone also expressed their understanding from the bottom of their hearts. After all, the meat sold by the two companies is different, and the price is also very different.
On the one hand, everyone felt that the conditions of the Zhou family were inferior to those of the Shang family, and they could only choose cheaper pork meat.
At least the village chief of Dali Village is not willing to eat like this.
From such a comparison, it seems that the Zhou family's family background is quite good.
Anyway, Cheng was relieved a lot. She said, "Although their family only buys meat every day during the busy farming period, there may not be many people who do this. Obviously, they still have some wealth."
At least it's not worse than the ones they looked at before. Those families looked thicker than the Zhou family, but they didn't seem willing to eat meat every day on such a day.
The Fang family is the butcher. The villagers from the nearby villages basically come to Dali Village to buy meat.
Therefore, they know best about whose family background is.
Butcher Fang arrived: "It's only two months away, and she will go out as soon as the Spring Festival is over. During this time, let her go out less, cover it up, maybe cover it up a little bit, I think it will be on Thursday. Don't worry about anything else, just that face and that mouth."
Obviously, Butcher Fang also wanted his daughter to match Shirou in terms of appearance.
