Chapter 41 Growing Vegetables (1)

41
When the mother and daughter returned to the house, Feng Shi heard that Bo Beibei was going to town again, so she couldn't help nagging again, but Bo Beibei insisted on going, Feng Shi could only compromise in the end.

"Hey, I can't help myself!" Feng Shi secretly sighed.

The two children are too determined, and she, the mother, is also very helpless.

Today is not the day to send water and firewood. There is no bullock cart to ride, so Bo Beibei has to walk to town.

As soon as she arrived in the town, she went straight to the study, bought a stack of white paper in the study, ate some fried rice, and then went to the field outside the town to find the lady who planted Chrysanthemum chrysanthemum.

When Bai Beibei came to the field, the aunt was not there. Bo Beibei didn't know if the aunt would come in the afternoon, so she squatted on the ridge of the field and waited.

Bo Beibei waited for a while, and seeing that the aunt hadn't come yet, she began to study the land under her feet.

She reached out and grabbed a handful of soil, put it under her nose and smelled it. The fragrance of the soil mixed with a little smell rushed into her nostrils. The color of the soil is black and it looks quite fat. Chrysanthemum chrysanthemum must grow very well in such a fertile land. .

The two pieces of chrysanthemum chrysanthemum planted by the aunt were made square, and the soil was slightly wet, so it could be seen that they had been watered in the morning.

"Huh, the little girl is really here?" The aunt's surprised voice sounded above Bai Beibei's head, and it was only then that Bo Beibei realized that he was so engrossed in thinking about things that he didn't even hear the aunt's footsteps.

"Auntie, are you here?" Bo Beibei was delighted to see her.

"Little girl, do you really plan to learn how to grow vegetables?" The aunt did not forget how serious Bai Beibei was that day, but she didn't come these two days, so the aunt thought she was just talking that day.

"Ma'am, I really want to learn. I even brought a pen and paper." Bo Beibei raised a stack of white paper in his hand, and took out the two finely ground charcoal sticks from his pocket. come out.

Her brush writing is not good, so she got two charcoal sticks in the kitchen last night for recording.

"Girl, what do you do with a pen and paper when you learn to grow vegetables?" The aunt was puzzled.

"Ma'am, I want to record the steps you taught me to grow this Chrysanthemum chrysanthemum and the things to pay attention to, so that I won't forget it."

"You little girl can still read?" The aunt looked at Bai Beibei in surprise. This little girl didn't look like a child from a rich family, but she could still read.

"Well, I can read a few words." Bo Beibei didn't want to dwell on this topic, so she asked the aunt: "Auntie, can you tell me how to grow this Chrysanthemum chrysanthemum?"

Bo Beibei put a stack of white papers on her knees, holding a stick of charcoal in one hand and looking at the aunt eagerly for knowledge, she looked more serious than when she was studying.

Seeing that Bai Beibei really wanted to learn how to grow vegetables, the aunt didn't want to disappoint her, so she started to talk about soil preparation and chrysanthemum seeds soaking.

Bai Beibei listened and memorized, and when she encountered something she didn't understand, she would ask a few words, and the aunt would speak more vigorously. What's more, she taught Bai Beibei how to grow radishes after finishing the lecture. Come with beans.

It was already an hour after the aunt finished speaking. Bai Beibei looked at the sky and said a little embarrassedly: "Auntie, I seem to have delayed your time too much."

A farmer's time is very precious, a lot of work can be done in one hour!
"It's nothing!" The aunt smiled indifferently: "You little girl is willing to listen to my old woman nagging, and I'm too happy to be happy."

For the first time, Da Niang is proud of being able to grow vegetables.

"Auntie, what you said is so useful to me, how can you talk about it?"

The aunt smiled, looked up at the sky, and said, "Son, it's getting late, you should go back quickly, don't worry your parents, if you are willing to listen to my old woman nagging, come back another day."

Bo Beibei thanked the aunt again and went back to the town.

Bai Beibei asked several people to find a place to sell seeds, and spent five yuan to buy Chrysanthemum chrysanthemum seeds, radish and bean seeds.

After buying the seeds, she went to buy a small hoe, a shovel and ten bamboo baskets.

Bo Beibei moved the things into the space, filled ten bamboo baskets with fertile soil in the space with a shovel, and then rented a bullock cart in the open space behind the street, and asked the driver to pick it up at the entrance of the town in a quarter of an hour. she.

After explaining to the coachman, Bo Beibei went to the entrance of the town first, and took out the bamboo bag full of soil and a small hoe when there was no one around. When the ox cart came, she asked the coachman to help move the bamboo basket To the car to transport home.

Seeing her daughter bring so much mud home, Feng's face turned dark: "Bei Bei, what are you doing with so much mud?"

Can't eat, can't drink, and waste car money to transport it all the way back from the town, isn't this a waste of money?

"Mother, I want to get this soil to the side of our house to grow vegetables." Bai Beibei told her mother her plan.

Vegetables can't be grown on the beach, so she just got some soil back, and she couldn't grow vegetables.

Feng Shi was taken aback: "You want to grow vegetables? Can you grow them?"

Bai Beibei nodded: "Today I went to the town to ask an old lady for advice. She taught me how to grow chrysanthemum and radish and beans. Mom, I want to try."

Feng's lips twitched, remembering that last time when her daughter talked about making shell ornaments, she also said to try, and finally made money. Thinking of this, Feng swallowed back the objection that came to her lips.

Seeing that there was no brother in the room, Bai Beibei asked, "Mother, why haven't you come back when the sky is dark and the warehouse is full?"

"Probably went to Gou'er's house." Feng said, after the elder son ignored her dissuasion and went to sea in the morning, she hurriedly steamed a pot of steamed buns to worship the Sea Dragon King, took three buns full and went to find Gou'er , I didn't come back to eat at noon.

"Mother, sister, I'm back." Just as the mother and daughter were talking, they ran back full of energy.

As soon as Mancang entered the room, he complained that he was hungry. Feng asked angrily, "Didn't you eat three steamed buns at noon? Why did you get hungry so quickly?"

Hearing his mother talking about the buns, Mancang buried his head in his chest as if he had done something bad, and said timidly: "I saw that Brother Gou'er and his younger brother only drank rice soup at noon, so I gave them two buns." , I only ate one bun."

Seeing this, Bo Beibei asked, "Are you full with a steamed bun for lunch?"

Mancang shook his head pitifully.

"You don't know how to come back to eat if you're not full?" Feng Shi was annoyed and funny.

Mancang glanced at his mother cautiously, and whispered, "I'm afraid my mother will scold me."

"Full warehouse!" Bo Beibei suddenly looked at his younger brother seriously, and said, "The dog is your good friend. It's true that you have delicious food to share with him, but you must remember that in the future, you must You have to see clearly whether the other party is worth helping, and you have to weigh whether you have the ability to help, and you have to do what you can, you know?"
