Husband and wife are hot on the kang

"Almanac": "Fifteen days after the vernal equinox, when you fight against the fingers, it is Qingming, when everything is clean and clear, when the weather is clear and the scenery is clear, everything is clear, so it gets its name."

As soon as Qingming arrives, the temperature rises, which is a good time for spring plowing, so there is a saying that "before and after Qingming, plant melons and beans".

But this is talking about the south, and the north is still cold and howling. At most, it will no longer snow for two days or snow for three days.

And it's starting to thaw, but it's not that obvious, but you have to finish eating the food you bought outside, otherwise it will really go bad when the temperature rises.

After returning from visiting the grave, the family resumed three meals a day, because now the days are long, and eating two meals is not enough.

Lying on the kang at night, Yu Juren thought to himself: "You said that I am a Juren, should I build a grave? From now on, it will be the ancestral grave."

"It's okay to build a grave, but it will take three years." Shi Hongda told Yu Juren that it is not always possible to build a grave if you want to. For a new grave, it will take three years at the earliest before it can be repaired, so Brother Jia passed away in less than three years, more than a year at the most, children will not be considered filial piety until the end of the year this year, and the grave can only be repaired after the Qingming Festival next year and before July [-]th.

"Really? I don't even know it!" Yu Juren didn't have this concept at all in the memory of the original owner.

"You are a scholar, what can you know?" Shi Hong laughed and said: "This is all folk customs. You are still young, so it is normal not to know."

Whose lad cares about this?Only the old people know about this custom. The annual exemption is about the dead. Young people seldom know it, and the old people are not afraid of it.

"Then how do you know?" Yu Juren was curious, Shi Hongda is not a few years older than him?

"I want to relocate my mother's grave, that's what Shizhang told me. After three years and three years, she kept procrastinating. At first I was able to talk to my father, but then..., so I know this kind of thing, it's normal." Shi Hongda said calmly, when he mentioned these things, he was no longer as angry as he was when he was a child.

"There must be a reason for moving your mother's grave. If you don't have a good reason, I'm afraid it won't work." Yu Liangji stretched out his arm and patted Shi Hongda: "But don't worry, we will work hard together, and sooner or later our wishes will come true!"

"En!" Shi Hongda hugged him tightly, how could he let go of this person! ?

I want to hold him all my life, or hide him, so that no one can see his goodness!

Yu Liangji had already inquired that the Tongsheng examination was held in autumn, not far from the Juren examination date, while the Xiucai examination was held in the spring.

But that's okay, there is still more than half a year of preparation time, he wrote the lesson plan for a long time, and discussed with the two gentlemen, and finally made a decision, a few older students who were going to take the exam were sorted out, Study alone in the east wing of the school.

What they study is exactly the opposite of what other students study. They practice martial arts in the morning, study literature in the afternoon, and have to recite books when they go back in the evening.

This kind of high-pressure policy is determined by the juniors. Although it is not as good as the college entrance examination in the past, it must go all out.

In the middle of March, news came from Zhou's family, saying that Zhou Bin was going to take the exam for a scholar, and he would go directly to Fucheng to live and would not leave, so he couldn't come over, but he still wanted to say hello, and Wang Cheng followed him to Fucheng to study.

On March [-]th, Yu Juren took people to the county seat. The family didn't have enough seeds, so he wanted to buy some.

At this time, many people will sell the grain left over from last year every day because the money is not enough. Because it has been air-dried, although the weight is light, the grain is absolutely not mixed with water, so the price is not bad.

Yu's family was not short of money, so they didn't sell the food at all, and just saved it. When they arrived at the government's public grain seed station, Xiao Juren got into the seed pile.

He couldn't come out for too long last year, and people in mourning, how should I put it, everyone felt sympathy, but at the same time they felt bad luck, he usually didn't dare to go out.

It’s different now, although he is still dressed in plain clothes, but his demeanor is different. After he came, the person in charge of the seed station received him very warmly and opened the door for convenience. Putting on a big shirt, sleeves and a hood, I went into the seed storage.

There are several warehouses, the biggest of which is of course the grain warehouse, and the leader of the seed station is the eight-pin warehouse manager of this seed station.

He had also heard about Yu Juren, and he knew that he was very good at farming, so it was convenient for him to go in and pick the seeds himself.

As soon as Xiao Juren entered, he fell into the rice jar with the mouse. The first thing he picked was corn seeds. This year, he planned to plant corn and potatoes on the wasteland side, and sorghum and millet on the ripe field side.

There were not enough corn seeds at home, so he picked out a lot of corn seeds. There was no sorghum at home, so he simply bought them from the seed station. Millet had them at home, and the seeds were better than those in this seed station.

Naturally, rapeseeds are also needed, but the rapeseeds at home are all planted in the greenhouse in winter, so this time he bought a lot of rapeseeds back home.

Grain seeds are more expensive, as it should be, and rapeseed is very cheap. Many people save their seeds. Yu Juren asked Liu Wenxi to pay the money happily, and moved five or six bags of seeds to the carriage. The people watching Straightforward!

That's all for food seeds, so many rapeseeds?

Whose vegetable garden is it?But this person doesn't look well dressed!

After buying the seeds, the person in charge was still very happy when he went out to leave. The whole process was almost greeted with a smile, and his attitude was very enthusiastic. He also asked him to come and pick if he needed it!

"Why is he so enthusiastic about me?" Yu Juren was at a loss, he is not familiar with this person, right?

"You have received many awards from the court, how can he not be enthusiastic about you!" Shi Hongda explained to him.

At the end of March, an official came to measure the land. This was to verify and check the wasteland they reclaimed last year, as well as the cultivated fields of other people’s homes. If a person is famous, he will be exempted from this tax and grain, but he only has a tax-exempt quota of [-] mu of land. If he exceeds the tax-exempt quota, he will still have to pay tax.

Fortunately, it is less than Juren's other aesthetic education, and it is still doing well in abiding by laws and regulations, and it is impossible to grow wasteland, so how can I have time for other things?

"It seems that spring planting is about to start. Clear the greenhouse and plant eggplant seedlings and pepper seedlings densely in it. Oh, and yellow claws are also planted! It doesn't matter if it is denser, but it must be planted early!" Yu Juren was standing in the already desolate shed.

"Why?" Liu Wenxi was displeased: "This looks pretty good!"

"It has no stamina, but it's pretty good!" Yu Juren patted the shelf next to him: "It's been winter, and the private seedlings are old, so we just pulled out the seedlings, leveled the land, opened the skylight, and dried them for two days. God, no matter how well you sow the seeds, the seedlings that grow out are half a month earlier than other people's. When the weather is warmer, you take the seedlings and plant them in the vegetable garden, but the vegetables that come down are earlier than other people's. "Less than Juren wanted to advance ten days and a half months. When the time comes, let the villagers see it, and teach them ten days or even a month in advance. The green vegetables in the vegetable garden come down earlier, and they must be reluctant to eat. That When green vegetables are not harvested, they can be sold at a high price when they first hit the market, so why bother to crowd them until a certain time to sell vegetables?

He talked about his plan, and Liu Wenxi thought it was feasible, but he still suggested: "You can tell everyone, but let them do the thinning of the seedlings by themselves. No matter how big or dense our greenhouse is, it will definitely not be enough. If the whole village distributes it to anyone, it will be an offence."

"You're right!" Yu Juren slapped his head, he forgot that this is not the experimental field for him and his mentor.

Xiao Juren started directly, and he had already pulled out some green vegetable seedlings at sunset, and sent them to Chef Huang regardless of whether they were ripe or not. A little homemade Bordeaux solution sanitized and leveled the ground again.

Shi Hongda and the Ba family father and son are starting to compost and distribute manure. The Ba family father and son are very persevering. Since they came to this house last year, they have already cleaned up the horse dung, cow dung, donkey dung and so on, and piled them into piles. After getting hot and composting, there were many cows and horses in the family, and there were also many children. They ate a lot of these things but also pulled a lot, and now they have accumulated almost four dung heaps.

In the past two days, three and a half of the fertilizers were sent away, and the lower half of Li was about to be taken away, so he was stopped by Yu Juren.

Xiao Juren also needs some manure to cultivate his vegetable seedlings. Shi Hongda has already said that he is not allowed not to do it, but she insists on watching!

Liu Wenxi had no choice but to let him stand far away. He asked Shi Hongda and the others for some fertilizer, and went to fertilize it himself. He also asked the little master to stand far away, as long as he watched.

Don't let him do it!

But Yu Juren saw that he was no longer needed here, so he went back to soak the vegetable seeds first, and then sifted through the grain seeds left by his family.

Mrs. Liu Song of Liu Wenxi's family went out for a walk. She did nothing but chat with the housewives of each family, because she was the housekeeper of the family who was younger than Ju, and she was lucky enough to give birth to twins. In people's eyes, this is a blessed woman. After she wandered around, in a few days, all the women in the village basically planted vegetable seedlings in advance in their own homes.

And according to the method taught by Xiao Juren, let your baby pee and settle for a day, take the supernatant liquid and mix it with cold white water, then soak the vegetable seeds.

Everyone knows about the increase in production last year, and Yu Juren is not stingy with the secret recipe. He will tell anyone who asks. Believe it or not, they don't hide their secrets.

After entering April, the weather finally warmed up. After a few days of warming up, green grass appeared and some wild vegetables sprouted.

The livestock raised by Yu's family are laying eggs more frequently, and Yu Juren has been feeding them with peanut shell powder, but there is no lack of calcium.

There were also people who came to the door, the second aunt of the Zhang family, Mrs. Qiao and Grandma Che, wanting eggs, the fertilized eggs, which were going to hatch poultry chicks.

Yu Juren nodded in agreement, pick whatever he wants, anyway, their family doesn’t need much, and Aya also picks, she wants to hatch more chicks.

Incubate ducklings next year, and change to goose cubs the year after.

With such a rotation, there will be no shortage of poultry samples at home.

The family has a three-shared plow, so they are not afraid that the arable land will not be able to keep up with it, but Shi Hongda still led his people to level the family's land a little while delivering fertilizer.

As the weather got warmer and warmer, the river in front finally started to rush. For this reason, Chef Huang also asked someone to buy a lot of Kaijiang fish, and the whole family drank crucian carp on the drought. Soup, stewed grass carp in sauce for lunch, and steamed carp at night.

The next day at noon, I ate another meal of stewed crucian carp with sauce, and the fish I ate these days are all with seeds, which is the most eaten by Juren. He believes that the fish at this time are all natural and not afraid of hormones, so It tastes very delicious.

Seeing how delicious his food was, Shi Hongda simply went to find Che Da, who was the only one in the village who would get off the net, and ordered three to five catties of fish a day with him, no matter what kind of fish, anyway, the bill was settled every day, and then told Chef Huang, He cooks and eats for Xiao Juren in different ways until he gets tired of eating.

In late April, the weather is getting warmer and the apricot blossoms are in full bloom. The fragrance of apricot blossoms is wafting all over the village. Everyone in the village is looking forward to bearing fruit this time, and the children are not allowed to pick apricot branches to play. .
