Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Chapter 37

The fields that Lao Yangtou allocated to the three houses were two acres of paddy fields and two acres of dry land.

Yang Ruoqing hadn't looked at the location of the two acres of paddy fields, so she followed Sun's family to the two acres of dry land of her own.

"Grandpa thinks that I'm too fat, so you have allocated such a long distance to us, so that I can walk more and exercise my muscles and bones?"

Standing on her own dry land ridge, Yang Ruoqing looked around and couldn't help but tease.

Looking at the dry land in front of him, Mr. Sun also shook his head secretly.

This half acre of dry land, at the foot of this mountain, used to be a wasteland.

Lao Yang's family used to grow cotton, but the drought was bad, and the harvest was not good.Later, they changed to soybeans, peanuts and sesame seeds. Perhaps because of the soil quality, the harvest has never been as good as the dry land at the foot of the mountain.

"Qing'er, don't complain anymore, it's better if you can give us this place. If we take good care of it, we can still collect some things!"

Sun shi smiled at Yang Ruoqing, took out the radish and vegetable seeds and pumpkin seeds borrowed from the Osmanthus family, and put them aside.

Yang Ruoqing nodded in agreement, saying yes, something is better than nothing.As long as you work hard and study hard, even if it is just a piece of wasteland, it can still exert its due value!

"Mother, then let's start leveling the ground!"

Yang Ruoqing took her own smaller hoe and stood on the ridge to discuss it with the Sun family. The mother and daughter carried the hoe down to the ground and began to straighten it up.

She was a special agent in her previous life, but Yang Ruoqing was no stranger to farm work.

Why?

For a period of time, in order to carry out her mission, she sneaked into a farmhouse in the branch of the Dabie Mountains.

Ploughing the fields, planting rice seedlings and planting vegetables can't be difficult for her.

At this moment, the hoe turned the soil under his feet, making a crisp sound, just like the sound of the blade cutting on the crispy yam pieces, which was particularly pleasant to the ear.

One hoe after another, he dug down and turned the slightly reddish soil out of the ground.The soil here is very loose, slightly acidic, sandy soil, planting some drought-tolerant crops, corn, peanuts, sweet potatoes, potatoes, etc., are still a good choice!

Yang Ruoqing waved the hoe to level the land, and fantasized about the joy of a bumper harvest in her mind. Every time she digs with the hoe, she is working hard for her own home.

"Qing'er, take a break when you are tired, and drink some tea to moisten your throat!"

Over there, Mr. Sun leaned on his hoe, raised his hand to wipe the hot sweat from his forehead, and smiled at Yang Ruoqing who was here.

"Mother, I'm not tired. Thinking of this winter, we'll be able to eat the radishes we planted ourselves, and we'll be full of energy!" Yang Ruoqing raised her head and said with a smile.

Mrs Sun nodded, and there was a sincere smile in her eyes. She and her daughter thought about it.

"Daughter, let's work hard, level the ground before noon, and plant radish seeds. After a while, the radish vegetables will grow, and our family will have our own vegetable field."

"Yeah!" Yang Ruoqing nodded heavily, no matter whether it was the watery radish or the green radish leaves, the delicious farmhouse food made, just thinking about it was enough to make her salivate.

The energy of wielding a hoe is even more powerful!

When the land is almost leveled, it is time to start planting seeds into the small soil nests that have been leveled.

"Qing'er, mother, bring some seeds, you can just follow behind and water!" Sun shi ordered.

"Okay!" Yang Ruoqing answered cheerfully, following behind Sun, the mother and daughter were busy in an orderly manner.

Mr. Sun bent down and placed two to four radish seeds in each small soil nest. Yang Ruoqing poured some water into the soil nest, and then gently covered it with a layer of fine sand.

Next, the mother and daughter sowed the pumpkin seeds in the same way and planted them next to each other.

If this pumpkin is planted in your own yard or on the wall, you must be ready to put up a support.

But here, there is a forest next to this wasteland. When the pumpkin seedlings grow out, then the roots and vines, let them grow freely on the ground.

"Qing'er, the rest of the work is done by my mother. You go to sit on the grass over there and take a break." Sun said to Yang Ruoqing while covering the soil.

Yang Ruoqing saw that she was almost busy with her work, smiled and said, "Hey", jumped up and down the ridge, and sat and rested on the grass over there.

As soon as she sat down, her palms subconsciously pushed down on the grass beside her, and she was suddenly pricked by something, causing her to take a deep breath.

Looking down, it was a clump of nettles.

The edge of the palm was severely scratched and pulled by the sharp thorns on the skin of the nettle grass. The skin was torn and a little blood oozes out. It was painful, numb and itchy, as if bitten by an ant, and there were some thorns. The child is stuck in the skin.

Yang Ruoqing buried her head and pulled out the tiny barbs that had pierced into the skin one by one. Over there, Mrs. Sun came over after finishing her work, and when she saw it, she said, "In this forest, the elders grow these biting grasses. It’s better to have seeds in the autumn, but in the spring and summer, in the fields and forests, there are clusters of them that even pigs, cattle and sheep don’t dare to touch!”

Yang Ruoqing listened carefully, her head turned.

The villagers here are afraid that they still don't know the benefits of this nettle grass?Although this grass is stinging, like that cactus, the nettle grass in spring and summer has a bad taste, and pigs, cattle and sheep are too lazy to take care of it.

However, in autumn, the nettle grass begins to set seeds, and the smell of sour hemp fades away. It is the most nutritious feed when it is picked and chopped, mixed with wheat bran and rice husk bran and fed to pigs!

Guaranteed within two months, the pig will be shiny, fat and strong!

Thinking of this, Yang Ruoqing suddenly had an idea, she stood up and said to Mrs. Sun, "Mother, I'm going to go to pick some biting leaves in the woods over there!"

Sun shi thought that he heard it wrong, and he was confused: "If you don't eat pigs, people will have no way to eat it. What are you doing, Qing'er?"

"Mother, I won't tell you for now, and you'll find out later!" Yang Ruoqing deliberately sold a trick, she knew that even if she explained it now, the Sun family might not believe it.

After all, the original owner of this body used to be a fool, a fool who couldn't take care of himself!

"Okay, that mother will accompany you to the forest. I just happened to gather some loose fur to take me home. You are not allowed to go inside. Let's look for it at the entrance of the forest!"

Sun shi warned that Yang Ruoqing's move was regarded as a child's playful nature, and he didn't pay much attention to it.

The girls summed up and entered the woods.

This forest was the one where Yang Ruoqing came out to find wild vegetables yesterday afternoon, but it was the other side of the forest.

After entering, she found that what Sun said was true, that the clusters here were all mature nettles.Mrs. Sun gathered the pine hair, and Yang Ruoqing picked nettles. After a while, she filled the bamboo baskets she brought with her.I also picked up some edible wild vegetables!
