Hard times have room

Chapter 410 Curiosity

This year, as long as there is a piece of open space in front of and behind her house, all the places where things can be planted have been dug holes and planted. Not to mention the vegetable fields, they are all sweet potatoes, and in the corners, ginger, garlic and peppers are planted. .

Except for these places, pumpkins and winter melons are all grown in other places. They are easy to support and can grow a lot and big ones without much care. Well, in most cases, this is indeed the case.

Pumpkins are mainly grown at home. She remembers that when she used pumpkin seeds and grass ash to raise seedlings, about [-] or [-] seedlings grew out. In twos and threes, about ten holes were dug at some distance apart. Going down, it is growing very well now, the vines are two or three meters long, and some are blooming.

I searched carefully, and I could still see small pumpkins as small as fingers hanging on the pumpkin vines. This is hope, the hope of being full.

There are fewer winter melons at home, but there are more than ten or twenty seeds, and five pits have been dug. Now they are growing very well, and the vines are also two or three meters long, but she has not seen the flowers yet. Maybe the winter melon is a little slower. Have to wait.

Now, as long as Pauline is at home, she will go to the pumpkin and winter melon vines whenever she has time every day. If there are bugs, she will have to do it herself.

The big ones are fine, just grab them out and crush them to death with one foot, but the small ones are densely packed, giving people goosebumps, and they are covered with a whole piece of leaf, so special methods must be used, such as boiling water in a pot. , put it aside, pick off the leaves covered with insects, put them in the water, and scald them all to death.

Originally, the most useful and most commonly used method was to spray lime water, but how could ordinary farmers like them get it easily? The price is a bit high and not worth it. Most of them do it by themselves. For crops, what they need most is time and patience. .

When Paulin made the sweet potato porridge and brought it to the dinner table, neither Su Hongying nor Wang Jiandang came back.

Paulin is not in a hurry. At this time, she can already wear a long-sleeved single shirt, especially at noon, when the sun is shining, wearing a short-sleeved shirt feels just right, so now it's okay to put the porridge on the table to dry.

She went back to the kitchen and took out the wild fruits she picked. The red ones were bright red, and some of them were ripe. They were already purple in color, and they were alluring to look at.

There are soft and short fluff in the gaps of the small pulp on the raspberries, and some raspberries have a little water droplets on them. She has just washed them, and they look delicious.

She was lucky to be able to pick these raspberries this time. She encountered a clump of raspberries that had not been touched by the little doll. They were already red. Although most of them were not yet ripe, they were not too sour to eat. To be precise, , is sweet and sour, and she feels very good when she eats it.

Well, it's been a long time since she ate fruit, and now this wild fruit with good taste in her mouth is definitely delicious.

As for the grapes and pomegranates in her space, she bought them in the county town last year, and now she has not eaten one-tenth of them in the space, so she is not willing to eat them. The price of a bite, you have to consider and reconsider, distressed.

Well, she's stingy, always thinking that it won't be damaged in the storage space anyway, and it will be gone after eating it. If you don't eat it, it will always be there.

Every time she wants to eat, just eat a little bit, just taste it. Grapes are eaten one by one, and pomegranates are eaten by breaking them into five or six pieces. One can last for more than half a month. , that's why it eats so slowly.

As soon as Paulin put the gourd scoop on the table, she heard movement from outside, and saw that she took her small bowl unhurriedly, took some pickled cabbage with chopsticks, turned around and walked a few steps, leaning against her. At the door of the main room, waiting for Su Hongying and Wang Jiandang to approach.

"Mom and dad, it's time to eat." When the others walked seven or eight meters away from her, Paulin tapped the edge of her bowl with chopsticks and said with a smile.

"Hey, your dad and I will come as soon as we wash our hands." After speaking, Su Hongying walked over to Bao Lin, walked sideways into the main room, and put the hoe and sickle in her hands in the corner.

Afterwards, he patted his dusty hands, opened his door, walked in, and went to the kitchen from the back door of his house.

When the family of three stayed neatly in the same room, Su Hongying and Wang Jiandang served bowls for dinner, and it was already 3 minutes later. During these 3 minutes, Pauline had already finished her meal, and she always ate very fast , mainly because the rice was a bit unpalatable, most of it was bitter, and she just poured it into her mouth without waiting for it to be hot.

There are only three people in her family, and there are not so many rules. Usually, if she prepares the meal first, and her parents don’t come back, she doesn’t have to wait. beat rice.

Usually, she doesn't eat much, just porridge for one night. When she is hungry, she will take food out of the space herself.

"Paulin, the raspberries you picked are delicious. Although they are a bit sour, they are not bad." Su Hongying quickly finished her bowl of porridge in confusion. Then, instead of going to the kitchen, she stood on the table. From the gourd scoop, I took out two raspberries and stuffed them into my mouth.

The little porridge I ate in the morning was not enough for hunger at all, and the work was quickly digested. Afterwards, I filled it with water. The water in my stomach, when I was working, swayed and made a loud noise.

"Really? Then I'll try it too." When Wang Jiandang heard Su Hongying's words, he couldn't bear it anymore. He picked up two and ate them.

When he was drinking porridge before, he glanced at the raspberries more than once, but he was embarrassed to do it in front of his wife and daughter.

After all, Paulin didn't eat it, and his wife didn't eat it. If he ate it by himself, wouldn't it be obvious that he was very greedy. This is not good, it will affect his image, well, he can't hold that face.

"It was picked from the Houshan Peach Grove. Behind a big rock, there are still some fish that slipped through the net. They may not have been found. That's all, I picked them all back."

"Before, when I was washing, I ate it. This point on the table was specially reserved for you. You should eat more."

After speaking, Pauline originally wanted to go back to her house, lie down and rest, but she suddenly remembered something: "Mom and Dad, before the pest control was to turn in at least three sparrows or mice a week, the flies and How are mosquitoes counted?"

After so long, she only remembered it now, but she just asked, to satisfy her curiosity and help, she probably won't be able to help.

Although, she has space, but it's not very useful. She can collect living things, but if she needs to touch and touch with her hands, if she can react so quickly, if she can touch flies and mosquitoes, then she doesn't need it. If you have space, you can shoot them to death directly, but unfortunately, you don't have that ability!
