Chapter 221 Reserves for Winter

The second and second sons are fast-working masters, and the sweet potatoes of an acre of land are harvested and transported home, and they are finished in a day and a half.

Transport all the sweet potatoes to the backyard, start picking, pick out the disabled ones and put them outside separately, and store them in the cellar without damage.

When the land became free, Bai Yunxi asked her son to fertilize the field, and she took out half a bag of chemical fertilizer from the locker, mixed it with farmyard manure, and plowed the land again.

Direct sowing of winter wheat.

The only two acres of land were all planted with winter wheat by Baiyunxi. They only need to be irrigated and fertilized once in the spring of the next year, and they can wait for the harvest.

The family's land has been planted, and the sweet potatoes have been put into the cellar. For the rest of the time, they continue to open up wasteland.

Picking up the rest space, transport the fallen leaves that have been accumulated for several years in the mountain forest to the bottom of the hillside, and pile them together to fertilize them.

The whole family worked together, and it took another half a month to finally open up all the wasteland, and then transformed the wasteland into terraced fields to bring in mountain spring water.

Compared with the slopes of the east mountain and the slopes of the west mountain, the trouble is that there is no need to dig a reservoir. There is a ready-made ditch next to the slope, and it can be irrigated as long as the water is brought in.

Bringing water into the ditch is not only convenient for their family, but also the fields near the ditch can be irrigated.

Although Baiyunxi doesn't like to deal with the villagers, but in order to prevent the villagers from deliberately destroying the water diversion bamboo canal, he can only recognize it with his nose.

After all, this is something that is beneficial to everyone, and no one wants to destroy it.

If it is only convenient for her family, even if they squat down and watch the drain every day, those saboteurs will inevitably make trouble.

After finishing all these tasks, winter will come completely, the leaves in the forest will turn yellow, and when the wind blows, they will fall down with a clatter.

Baiyunxi looked at the tidied up wasteland, first irrigated it with mountain spring water, and then waved his hand,
"We're done with our work. Let's go home and rest for two days before continuing to search for things in the mountains. We must store up enough food before it snows. The more people we have, the more abundant our reserves will be, and the more peace of mind we will have."

Several people listened to Baiyunxi's instructions and nodded in agreement. Only when there is enough food in winter can Maodong feel at ease.

Bai Anyan looked back at the desolate forest, "Mother, the fruits in the forest are all rotten, and I'm afraid there aren't many that can be eaten. Mother must be prepared."

Ever since the family fell into poverty, my mother led them to live with a spirit of fighting spirit.

It's winter now, and the food is not as abundant as in autumn. He is worried that if his mother can't find food, will she be worried and discouraged?
Bai Yunxi looked at them and chuckled lightly.

"What are you afraid of? The fruits on the trees are gone, but the ones underground are just right, especially those foods such as yams and plantains. They are all hidden in the soil. We need to dig carefully."

"The last time I went to Baohetang to sell Qiuli ointment, I already told the doctor that if we dig up wild yams, process them ourselves, and take them to pharmacies, the price will be higher."

Listening to her mother-in-law's reminder, Mrs. Li immediately agreed,

"I know this. Last time, my mother specifically asked the doctor. Before it snowed, we hurried to dig in the mountains. We will definitely not find wild yams."

Bai Yunxi felt a lot more at ease when he saw how energetic these people were.

Talking and laughing and returning home, looking at the shack at home, Bai Yunxi slapped his forehead and almost forgot the business.
