Reborn Ugly Girl Farming to Support the Family

Zheng Dashan thought for a moment and said, "Let's plant some soybeans. Xiaoman likes to eat tofu, so we should plant more soybeans and make tofu for her when the time comes."

Old Man Zheng had no objection. He decided to plant more of the foods his granddaughter liked to eat.

Zheng Dashan continued, “I want to use the remaining four acres of land to grow sweet potatoes.

The yield of the wasteland on the mountain will definitely not be very high. We promised to give the Zhou family some sweet potato seeds this year, and the rest will be saved for Xiaoman as new food. If there is less, it may not be enough. "

Old Man Zheng hesitated, "But if we plant them in the village, I'm afraid our secret will be lost."

Zheng Dashan knew this, of course, and he smiled and said, "We live in a village, so it's impossible to keep the sweet potato matter a secret forever.

That’s why I wanted to plant more this year. Even if the villagers want to plant, they have to wait until next year when we have more seeds left for them.

Our family will try to make as much money as possible during these two years.

As for my father-in-law, he will have one year next year to plant more.

Besides, Xiaoman said that the family will not rely on growing sweet potatoes to make money in the future, so we just need to listen to her."

Old Man Zheng nodded, "You are right, there is no secret in our village. Once we plant sweet potatoes on the wasteland on the mountain, it will definitely be discovered by others.

Well, since Xiaoman has her own plan, let's just listen to her."

Now everyone in the family is inexplicably convinced by Zheng Xiaoman, and almost no one will refute what she says.

Zheng Xiaoman has been growing sweet potato seedlings at home recently. She put the sweet potatoes in water and waited for them to sprout.

She calculated the time so that the sweet potato seedlings would be ready for transplanting in spring.

Zheng Dashan found someone to clean up the newly purchased five acres of land in advance, so that when the sweet potato seedlings were ready, they could be planted directly.

The weather is getting hotter day by day, and the wheat seedlings in the field seem to be growing taller every day.

In late April, their family starts planting sweet potatoes.

Of the twenty acres of land on the mountain, fifteen acres are used to grow sweet potatoes, and the remaining five acres are used to grow beets.

Their family was definitely too busy to handle it, so Zheng Dashan thought about it and went to Lao Zhou's house to ask his two brothers-in-law to help.

Although he knew that the sweet potato matter could not be concealed in the future, he did not want to expose it now.

When the two brothers-in-law knew that their family was going to start planting sweet potatoes, they immediately packed up their things and came over excitedly.

And not only they came, but also his father-in-law, mother-in-law and eldest nephew came along.

Zheng Xiaoman's house suddenly became lively, and when her grandmother came, she brought her twenty chicks, ten ducklings and five goslings.

Zheng Xiaoman looked at the group of furry little guys in the basket, his eyes full of joy.

She touched the ducklings with her hand, and the ducklings in the basket started quacking in fear.

When her eldest brother came back, she took him to the backyard to build a new home for the ducklings and geese.

First make a cage for them, and then surround them with a cage against the wall of the yard so that they have space to move around.

When the fence was ready, she put all the ducklings in. As soon as the furry little guys landed on the ground, they immediately ran away in all directions.

Zheng Xiaoman cut some cabbage leaves and mixed them with cornmeal to feed them. The ducklings and geese that had just run away swayed their bodies from side to side and ran back.

Twenty chicks were also put into the chicken coop, and Zheng Xiaoman also fed them some food.

Now that there are ducks and geese at home, the position of chickens in her heart has suddenly dropped.

After doing all this, Zheng Xiaoman looked at the furry creatures in the backyard with satisfaction.

There are more and more living things in the house now, and it feels more and more alive.

Because they had to go to farm early the next morning, the family went to bed early after dinner.

Zheng Xiaoman still braised the pork offal for tomorrow's use before going back to bed to sleep.

The next morning, everyone in the family got up early. After breakfast, Zheng Xiaoman, Zhou Chunfeng and Chun Ya stayed at home, Zheng Qingming and Lixia went to school, and the rest of them all went to the wasteland behind the mountain.

When the time came, Zhou Chunfeng drove the ox cart to the town to deliver the goods, leaving only Zheng Xiaoman and Chun Ya at home.

Zheng Xiaoman also has to cook lunch for the family, which is not an easy job.

Chun Ya was very well behaved and helped her sister to make fire. The food at home had been good in the past few months, and the little girl's height had finally caught up with that of other children of her age.

"Sister, what are you going to do at noon?"

Zheng Xiaoman lowered his head and looked at her, "Chun Ya, what do you want to eat?"

Chun Ya thought about it seriously and said, "Sister, Chun Ya wants to eat gaogao."

The cake she was talking about is red date cake.

Zheng Xiaoman smiled and touched her hair. "Okay, but it's too late at noon. Can I make it for you in the evening?"

Chun Ya nodded obediently, "Okay."

Everyone on the mountain was a little uncomfortable at first because it was their first time growing sweet potatoes.

In particular, everyone was extremely careful for fear of damaging the seedlings.

These seedlings were grown by Zheng Xiaoman using spiritual spring water. They are stronger than ordinary seedlings, so there is really no need to be so careful.

By the afternoon, everyone moved a lot faster and was not as cautious as before.

Zheng Xiaoman was not idle at home either. She carried a bucket and went to the river to catch fish.

Spring planting is so tiring, how can we not eat something good?

These days she has been cooking different kinds of food for everyone. Every day it's either pig's trotter soup, fish soup, or big bone soup.

So even though everyone was very tired every day, they didn't lose any weight at all.

The wasteland on the mountain was soon planted, and they began to plant the four acres of land in the village.

Some people saw them farming and came over to take a look. They found that what the Zheng family was growing were things they had never seen before, so they came over to take a look out of curiosity.

"Hey Dashan, what is this thing in your house? Why have I never seen it before?"

Zheng Dashan smiled naively, "Uncle, this is a new food. It's the seeds my father-in-law brought back from outside."

This is something the family has discussed. You can't just come and ask for things that the father-in-law brought.

The old man looked at him in confusion: "What new food? Have we seen it before?"

Zheng Dashan said: "What's that called sweet potato? We don't have it here."

The old man nodded. "Oh, you dare to plant so much of this thing that you have never seen before? What if the harvest is not good?"

"Haha, let's just give it a try. If it doesn't work, we can just plant other ones and it will be the same."

Seeing that he couldn't get anything out of him, the old man left with his hands behind his back.

After that, many people came to ask, but they were all dismissed by Zheng Dashan with the same reason.

Of course, he can do this to those people with whom he has an average relationship.

But looking at Zhao Laosan and his companions coming over, he couldn't just send them away casually.

Zheng Dashan looked at the grinning Zhao Laosan and sighed, "Laosan, I won't lie to you. This is indeed a new seed, and a new grain variety."

When Zhao Laosan heard that it was food, his playful expression suddenly turned serious, "Second brother? Is this really food?"
