After he and his mother-in-law separated, he built a house and stocked a warehouse full of grain and

This year’s skirt mushroom season is exceptionally short.

In the past, it started appearing in March and disappeared at the end of May.

It was only available in early April this year and disappeared in mid-May.

The villagers in Shanshui Village felt sorry, but they also knew that there was nothing they could do.

Then I thought about the abundance of bamboo mushrooms in June. Unlike April, which is a busy farming season, and with lots of rain in June, there are also many bamboo mushrooms. As long as you are not afraid of hard work, you can still pick up more mushrooms.

At the end of May, the busy farming season ended early, and the mushroom season also ended. It was the most leisurely time for villagers in the first half of the year.

The Shuiqing family decided to start harvesting potatoes.

"Dad, the Shui Qing family has decided to harvest potatoes!" Wang Guifen hurried home to tell her father-in-law.

When other people in the family heard this, Li Wu, the second child, asked first, "Didn't you say it won't be collected until June? Why did it come earlier?"

Shuiqing's family started farming in the tenth year of the first lunar month. Later, their family traded work for planting. They went to help with the planting in late January as early as late January and started planting in late January or early February.

"Yes, it was said before that potatoes will be harvested in four months, but it is less than four months in full. Maybe the harvest will be better if we harvest it a few days later." The third child, Li Qiang, frowned, with a look of distress on his face.

Farmers have been working hard for months, plowing the fields, sowing seeds, pulling weeds, and applying fertilizers, just waiting for the final harvest.

The harvest would have been much better if it was just a few days late, so it hurts to harvest it early.

Wang Guifen had just returned from chatting with Shui Qing and told Shui Qing what she was thinking: "Hey, aren't you afraid of heavy rains and floods?

Shui Qing said that potatoes should not be soaked. Once soaked in water, they will rot or sprout. A few months ago, Mr. Fan and his family ate sprouted potatoes. You all know how miserable it will be.

Their family just thought of taking it back home and storing it earlier, and the harvest would be almost impossible. "

The old village chief sat on the recliner and remained silent for a long time.

The three sons and three daughters-in-law all looked at their father.

They don't know about the old people in other families, but their own father really believes that 'having an old man in the family is like having a treasure'. No matter what, he is the backbone of the family!

"Dad, do we also need to harvest early? Our family plants later than his family." Li Qiang asked nervously.

They have a large family and can endure hardships. After planting potatoes for Fan Jin's family during the day, they spent half the night digging in the ground. Fortunately, growing potatoes during the day is not physical work, and it is not tiring for them at all. Otherwise, they would have to do physical work day and night. My body may not be able to bear it.

In early February, the whole family went to the fields and planted everything before mid-February.

However, this was more than ten days later than the Shui Qing family.

The old village chief frowned and asked his eldest son, "Boss, have you visited the fields in the past few days?"

Li Wen hurriedly replied: "Why didn't you go see it? I wish I could see it several times every day."

"Then have you dug it out and looked at it?" the old village chief asked again.

Li Wen opened his mouth, looking at this and that, and said stutteringly: "I, how dare I? Digging it out before it has grown is not a waste of food."

The old village chief looked at his three sons and ordered: "The three of you go to the field, and each of you digs a portion of the potatoes and goes home;

Remember, don’t be lazy and dig it back as quickly as you can. "

Although the three of them didn't know what their father meant, they sighed obediently, ran to the yard, picked up hoes and bamboo baskets, and ran towards their potato field.

An hour later, the three of them carried the bamboo basket back to the yard, panting.

Wang Guifen and three women quickly ran forward to help.

Seeing the full bamboo basket, Wang Guifen whispered: "Dad only asked you to dig one part of the land each. You didn't dig three parts of the land by yourself, right?"

Li Wen grinned, the joy on his face could not be concealed: "My dear, this is a piece of land!"

"Sister-in-law, we really only dug a portion of the land each!" Li Qiang's face was filled with the joy of a good harvest.

The old village chief heard the noise in the yard and came out on crutches.

He first checked the size of the potatoes in the basket, then estimated the weight, and finally estimated the time.

Then he said: "The biggest potato is smaller than the one you got back from Jin Boy. It seems that it hasn't reached its end yet.

According to the time it took the three of you to dig potatoes just now, each person can dig up to one acre of land in a day. It will take time to pick them up and transport them back.

Our family has planted fifteen acres, and it will take five to ten days at the earliest to get it all back.

This basket is estimated to weigh one hundred and thirty fifty kilograms. If this is the harvest, I will be satisfied and there is no need to take risks and wait any longer. "

Heavy rain waits for no one, often flooding fields overnight.

Wang Guifen, Zhang Hui and Zhao Lan were shocked when they heard that one basket weighed more than 100 kilograms.

This is just one share of land. Doesn’t that one acre of land produce a harvest of more than 1000 kilograms?

Their family only cultivated fifteen acres of land. Wouldn’t it be possible to harvest more corn than they could from dozens of acres of land in the past?

Swallowing, Zhao Lan murmured regretfully to herself: "I should have been more diligent and planted more acres of land!

No, if all the land planted with corn is used to grow potatoes, won’t our family be unable to harvest more? "

Li Qiang also followed his wife and said, "It would have been good to plant a few more acres of land."

Wang Guifen was the eldest sister-in-law and was much calmer than the others below her. She smiled and said, "Don't be greedy. Who knows then?

Let's take back what's in the fields, didn't Shuiqing say? We can plant another season in September, so we can plant more by then! "

The few at the bottom nodded like garlic.

Wang Guifen's natal family is also from the same village. When they first planted potatoes, her parents and brothers also went to Shuiqing's house to help clear up wasteland for a few days under her persuasion. Although they did not plant much, they still had five acres of land.

She turned to her father-in-law and said, "Dad, I will go back to my parents' home and tell my parents to see if they will accept it in advance."

"Yes." The old village chief nodded.

The old village chief's family and the Wang family were in Shanshui Village. News that the two families were going to harvest potatoes in advance spread to every household.

When they heard about the yield, people who didn't grow potatoes were even more shocked.

After returning home, my intestines were so regretful that I couldn't help but sigh.

Several other families who grow potatoes, no matter how many acres they have, are also beginning to worry.

After harvesting, even if the yield is a little less, it is several times more than the corn!

If you don't collect it, if a heavy rain comes, it will all be gone.

After only struggling for one night, several other families also made up their minds to harvest potatoes!

On the second day, Shuiqing's family let out the news: Her family is recruiting people to collect potatoes, and they can pay for it with copper coins or potatoes. Those who are willing can just sign up.

After learning about the yield of potatoes, other people were worried about how to grow potatoes. When they heard that they could use potatoes in exchange, they immediately became excited.

Sign up!

Be sure to sign up.

Potatoes are delicious, better than black noodles, and not worse than corns, but they have a large yield.

In front of output, everything else is just a cloud.

For a time, the people in Shanshui Village became busy again.

Those who grow potatoes harvest potatoes, and those who don’t grow potatoes help Shuiqing’s family harvest potatoes.
