After returning home, the two brothers also gathered around the car for a while, and what was rare was that after Ling Zhi asked about the price, he didn't show any distress, let alone nag her for spending money, and even accepted it happily. In view of the fact that the family had purchased a large item, seeing that the weather was a bit gloomy, he helped her carry the car under the front building to avoid getting wet in the rain.

After eating, Song Hongguo looked through the dried kudzu powder. After crushing it with her fingers, it was white and fine. She brewed a bowl, mixed it with warm water first, then added boiling water, stirred in one direction, and gradually became It turns into a light yellow and transparent gel with a high degree of adhesion. When put into the mouth, it will dissolve quickly and has a light refreshing and wild ginseng flavor. She has heard people say that good arrowroot powder can be used even without adding sugar or puree. Even with honey, you can taste a slight sweet aftertaste. She tried it but didn't taste it.

It seems that the local area is indeed not suitable for the growth of kudzu. Even if it exists, the quality is not very high. Fortunately, what people pay attention to now is not the taste, but as long as it can satisfy their hunger.

If you add some osmanthus sauce, it will look even better.

Mother and son ate the bowl in equal parts. Song Hongguo was no longer interested, but the two little ones ate it with gusto. They also curiously asked her about the health effects and uses of kudzu root.

Song Hongguo had nothing to do. While using the light of the kerosene lamp and splicing the cushion covers with cloth ends, she taught the two of them a lot of science, not only kudzu but also yam.

After hearing this, Ling Zhi reminded her, "The open space outside has been leveled. When will we plant yams?"

Song Hongguo said smoothly, "Let's do it tomorrow morning, but it's a pity that it won't rain, so we have to carry water to irrigate the ground, which will be troublesome."

Ling Zhi added, "The vegetable seedlings in the backyard have also sprouted. I see they are quite dense. Are they transplanted or thinned?"

Song Hongguo goes to work every day and only goes to the backyard a handful of times. However, she has noticed that the vegetable seedlings are still too tender not long after they came out. "It's still early, we have to wait until they have about three or four leaves." Transplanting and those that need thinning will take a few more days. It would be a pity to pull them out now. They will be able to make do with a meal when they grow up."

Ling Zhi nodded, and then told her about the things in the private plot, "The wheatgrass in the plot is pulled out every day, but it can't be pulled out cleanly. It won't take long for a crop to grow out, which is a good thing. You can feed the pigs, but the grass on the plot is not clean." Nothing is growing anymore, I think it would be a waste to leave it empty, do you want to sprinkle some seeds?"

Song Hongguo thought for a while, "It's definitely not good for growing vegetables. Why don't we grow some melons, and take the land next to the weir with us."

Ling Zhi was worried, "Can I plant melons?"

Song Hongguo said, "Let's try it if it works. Whether it's melons or watermelons, they all have vines. When the time comes, let the melon vines climb up the weir without occupying an area. If you use some fertilizer, maybe they will be able to bear fruit." "Young master, when the weather gets hot, soak the melons you picked in the water from the well. In just an hour or two, the flesh will become ice cold. Then take a bite..." The more she talked, the more fascinated she became. , couldn't help but sigh, "That's the most correct way to open summer."

Ling Zhi didn't understand and didn't refute her.

But Ling Yuan blinked and asked, "Mom, is watermelon sweet?"

Song Hongguo thought that he probably hadn't eaten it before, so she touched his head with pity, "It's very sweet. I'll let you eat as much as you like when the melon is ripe."

Ling Yuan laughed and asked curiously, "Is that watermelon sweet or melon sweet? It should be melon sweet, right? Otherwise, why is it called melon?"

Song Hongguo also raised the corners of her lips, "You will know the answer to this question when you eat it."

"hey-hey……"

After sewing two mats, Song Hongguo felt her eyes sore from tiredness, so she put away her work, told the two little ones a bedtime story to coax them to sleep, and then turned off the lights.

At night, it really started to rain.

This is the first rain of the year. They say that spring rain is as precious as oil. However, the rain this time was really light. The drizzle made no sound at night and stopped by the time of dawn.

The air was fresher after the rain, and there wasn't much pollution these days. It was a natural oxygen bar next to a long stretch of mountains. Song Hongguo stood under the front building and took a deep breath, almost feeling like she was about to transform into an immortal.

The vegetation in the yard, nourished by this drizzle, made the green branches and leaves more stretchable and verdant, especially the clump of bamboo. It could be seen from the constant screams of the system in her mind. , it loves this fresh and elegant small forest scenery very much, but what Song Hongguo is looking forward to is the two peonies. As if overnight, they have become more lush and spectacular, with buds faintly visible among the dense greenery. Just waiting for a flourish.

The ring of rose cuttings has also obviously grown a lot taller. Raindrops are rolling on the leaves, which will never fall. They are fresh and moving. The same is true for other flowers and trees. They are so clean after being washed with water.

The water in the pond showed no trace of rising, only the surrounding stones were washed clean, and the flower seeds she had scattered before quietly emerged from the soil in the spring rain, stretching her delicate body to the fullest. Especially in the vegetable patch in the backyard, the vegetable seedlings have transformed from immature children into energetic young men, just waiting to grow up.

Song Hongguo walked around the fence, holding a bouquet of apricot flowers in her hand. When she walked around the pig pen, her eyes washed by the beautiful scenery after the rain finally saw Mi Tai.

No matter how diligent she was in cleaning, the pig pen was still dirty, and when it was soaked by the rain, that scene...

The pig stayed happily inside, squealing and rolling in the mud. The goose flapped its wings, urging her to let her out and run her legs. The three chickens also chirped at her, complaining about their hunger. Wronged.

Song Hongguo's eyelids jumped.

Fortunately, Ling Zhi came quickly. He first poured the mixed pig food into the stone trough, then opened the surrounding fence and let the impatient geese come out, followed by a few chickens.

They will forage for food by themselves in the yard. The disadvantage is... they will create garbage anytime and anywhere.

Ling Zhi doesn't dislike it at all, he just dislikes that there are less produced, and it's all fertilizer.

Song Hongguo put the flowers into the bottle, tidied them up a little, and then went out to plant yams. Apart from the ones she dug last time, there were still a few yams left, so she cut them into small pieces and could plant a lot of land.

The light rain also has its advantages. When working in the fields, you don’t have to worry about pulling out your feet, and you don’t have to water them specially, which saves you a lot of effort.

Song Hongguo dug a hole, Ling Zhi buried yam pieces inside, and Ling Yuan followed behind to cover the soil, planting a section every forty centimeters or so. It was not much trouble to plant, and within an hour, the yam was almost used up. There is still a little bit of ground left.

Ling Zhi was idle and asked her, "What else can I plant?"

Song Hongguo thought for a while, "How about planting a few sunflowers? I can see the flowers and crack the seeds at the same time."

"...Okay, I'll listen to you."
