Before planting the rice, the old Zhou family sowed wheat and bean seeds in the ground. After the seedlings were transplanted, the wheat and bean seedlings in the ground had grown. Exhausted weeds.

So busy in the spring to enter the second stage - weeding.

This kind of work is suitable for men and women, young and old, that is, Manbao follows the weeds in the nearest fields.

There are basically two methods of weeding, one is extensive and the other is meticulous.

The former, with a hoe, gently hoeed it all the way, hoeed the grass on the ridge by its roots, and then covered the grass in the seedling ditch with soil.

Not only can some grass be removed, but also more soil nutrients can be provided for wheat or bean sprouts.

As for the latter, he used a small hoe to hoe all the grass in the furrows bit by bit, and also to transport them out.

Even if the old Zhou has a lot of family members, he can't do everything in detail.

They will make their choices based on how well the seeds are broken and how fertile the soil is.

The land with the best seedling rate, the soil with more fertile soil is meticulously planted, and the rest depends on the situation.

Of course, Lao Zhoutou doesn't know how to do extensive and meticulous farming. These are all terms that Man Bao heard when discussing with Keke. Old Zhoutou only has decades of farming experience. The villagers in the village are dozens of hundreds of years old Come to do this.

Unlike the peasants outside who became tenant farmers or refugees after losing their land, in Qili Village, even in the large village of Baimaguan Town, very few peasants completely lost their land.

Therefore, there are not many people who can cultivate and meticulously cultivate the land under their name. Basically, local farmers have to make choices. Therefore, the fertile land will gradually become more fertile, while the barren land is also difficult to improve for decades.

Because human energy is always limited.

However, with the end of spring seeding, although it is still a busy stage of spring, the family is not so busy.

Man Bao is not like before, sleeping with his eyes open, he may not be able to see his eldest brother and second brother.

Because often, when she opened her eyes, they had already gone to the field, and after dinner, when it was dark and she was about to fall asleep, they might still be busy planting rice in the field.

The copper plates in the treasure-filled money box were almost used up. The five beautiful gold nudes could only be placed on a pile of copper plates before, but now they are quietly sitting at the bottom of the box.

So Man Bao was reluctant to pay any more money to buy meat.

Thinking that May is coming soon, Qian's family became frugal and naturally reluctant to spend money on meat.

No way, Xiao Qian felt distressed for her husband, thinking of what Man Bao said that tofu is similar to meat, although she knew it might be fake, she still soaked beans to make tofu.

There are many wild vegetables that can be eaten in spring, but there are very few vegetables in the vegetable garden.

Although there is no shortage of vegetables in the countryside, there is a shortage in the city. It is said that a handful of bitter vegetables can be sold for a high price of five cents.

Of course, it is impossible for the Zhou family to sell vegetables. Their family has a large population, and the vegetables in the vegetable garden are only enough for them to eat.

But they can sell tofu.

Think of the accumulation of so many beans some time ago.

Xiao Qian's family simply soaked a little more with his two sisters-in-law. In addition to eating the tofu at home, he also asked Tuesday Lang to take it to the county to sell it.

No way, Daji is basically bartering, and few people will use money to buy tofu, and this thing can only be taken to the county seat.

Xiao Qian cut the tofu into very large pieces, and asked Zhou Yilang to take out for a penny. If they couldn’t sell it, he would consider switching to beans.

Basically, a family can eat for two cents.

Because Xiao Qian was making tofu in the morning and cooking for the school, he had no time to take care of the work in the field.

Man Bao heard a few words from his father that the grass in the field was growing like crazy, what to do with the wheat and beans this year, he volunteered to go to the field to weed after school.

Of course, she wasn't alone, she brought Bai Shanbao with her.

Bai Shanbao, who has lived in the countryside for more than a year, of course can't tell the difference between wheat beans and weeds, so he played a game with Manbao with relish, but he was not happy to come the next day.

He thought it was too hard, and he also thought that if he was weeding, why would he come to Manbao's land, and his land would also be weeded.

Man Bao:  …

The two friends parted ways, and Man Bao could no longer deceive free labor.

After the first wave of grass has been removed, the crops are growing upward, so it is time to fertilize. After the fertilization is finished, the month of May is almost here.

The two families had chosen a date a few years ago. Mrs. Qian went to the Taoist temple on the mountain in Dali Village to ask them.

After the first day of May, the next good day is May 23rd.

Of course, the Qian family likes the first day of May, and the Fang family also knows this and is naturally considerate, so when reporting the date, the Fang family also chose this date.

The bride price has already been given to the Fang family, but before the wedding, it is necessary to announce the good news to the wife's family. Naturally, there are wedding cakes, wedding candy, etc., as well as gift meat, etc. in and out.

The remaining two taels of silver borrowed by Qian Shi and Zhou Xi came in handy.

The Zhou family posted a lot of happy words, and Man Bao was so happy. Every day after school, he ran after the big head and the big girl's ass, throwing his studies aside.

This provoked Bai Shanbao to run after him.

Qian Shi looked at the two chubby children, especially the two children who looked more and more like the boy who was sitting down against the black head and two heads, and she couldn't help but move in her heart.

Qian pulled Man Bao in front of him and asked with a smile, "Man Bao, your fourth brother is married, can you roll him out of bed?"

Man Bao's eyes brightened, "What is a rolling bed?"

"It's just a boy who rolls the bed, roll around on the new bed, and let Master Tianzun bless your fourth brother and fourth sister-in-law to have a daughter as smart as you."

"Okay, okay!"

Qian Shi looked at Bai Shanbao and asked with a smile, "Do you want to be a bed-rolling boy?"

Bai Shanbao nodded fiercely.

Qian Shi laughed, and brought a wedding gift to Bai's house that day.

Liu was slightly surprised when he heard the servant's report, and quickly got up and took his daughter-in-law out to greet him.

Although in terms of the seniority of the two children, they are a generation apart, but they are actually about the same age, and Qian's appearance looks older than Liu's.

Liu's and Qian's have met several times, not to mention a lot of exchanges between the two.

Not to mention that Man Bao either came to Bai's house to do homework and study with Bai Shanbao, or that Bai Shanbao went to play behind Man Bao's butt, just talking about the things you sent to me from the two families, it could be called a close relationship.

But it was the first time for Mrs. Qian to come to the door, so Mrs. Liu was very serious.

Knowing that Qian was going to invite her grandson to be a bed-rolling boy, Liu hesitated for a while, but it was not unwilling, but, "Mother Man Bao, I will not hide it from you, in my heart, Shan Bao is naturally a thousand treasures. It's good, but he lost his father when he was young, so he became a bed-rolling boy..."
