Farmer’s Little Girl

  Chapter 121 Open up wasteland

In the first month of the year, the country folks are the most idle time. Even Tue Lang, who has been busy weaving bamboo baskets and bamboo baskets, stopped his actions. Except for the Lantern Festival, he took the boss and the third to set up a stall in the county. Outside selling bamboo baskets, it's hardly busy.

  Man Bao took the opportunity to propose to the eldest sister to open up wasteland.

Before Zhou Xi could refuse, Zhou Dalang hurriedly cleaned the bowl of rice and said, "It's okay. When we run out of breakfast, we will go together. I have visited the land that Manbao selected. It is not very big. There aren’t even trees, it’s easy to open up."

  Qian glanced at the eldest daughter who wanted to refuse, nodded and said, "Well, this matter is all up to you."

   said to Zhou Xi again: "Even if that piece of land belongs to you, you will hold it yourself in the future."

   Zhou Xi felt a little uneasy, bowed her head and responded.

  After eating, all the children went to the field, and even Lao Zhou headed back and took a look. Qian called Zhou Xi and said, "Since studying, your sister has become smarter and we don’t understand many things. Since she said that you should grow ginger, you should grow one kind carefully. Anyway, it will cost more. Strength, the ground comes out, and the last thing our family lacks is people."

Zhou Xi has been home for more than ten days, and she has noticed the difference. In her impression, Man Bao is a weak and weak young girl, but after returning home for a long time this time, she found that the family still spoiled her as before. But there are many differences.

  For example, when she chose grain seeds two days ago, Lao Zhou called Man Bao to the front and asked her to figure out how many kilograms of grain seeds should be spread on the farm at home.

  For example, a few days ago, during the Lantern Festival, the second child was going to sell bamboo baskets in the county town, and he asked if Manbao was going.

Man Bao hated that the weather was too cold, and her husband’s assignments were not good, so she did not go, but let the fourth, fifth and sixth child go. After returning home, the second child gave all the money to Man Baoshu. , How much he has paid for his father, and how much he has left, Man Bao can be counted clearly.

   Zhou Xi looked at him, her face was calm, but she was shocked in her heart. At night, she couldn't help thinking, is it because the daughters are all Xiao Da, and Dad is smart, so the daughter is so smart?

  Now that her mother mentioned this, she couldn't help but sit beside her and asked: "Mother, Man Bao is so smart, what should I do in the future?"

  Qian's hand while doing needlework paused slightly, and then said: "It is a good thing for a child to be smart, what should I do?"

   Zhou Xi wanted to say something more, Qian said: "You also go to the ground to see, in the end it is your land, you can't just make your brothers and sisters tired."

   Zhou Xi responded and got up to chase Zhou Dalang and the others.

  Man Bao and Da Tou Daya and other children rushed to the forefront, screaming and plunged into the weeds.

  Zhou Dalang couldn't help but scold them, and stabbed back carefully.

  Manbao, no, it should be said that the piece of land chosen by Keke for Zhou Xi is next to the piece of land on Chulang, but there is a stone in the middle.

  Lao Zhoutou took a look and found that this piece of land was very small, only about two minutes, but there were a lot of weeds growing in it, because just after winter, the long weeds were withered and yellow, but some grass buds were emerging on the ground at this time.

  He hoeed a **** and found that the soil was okay, and there were no big trees or big rocks in this area. Although it was a bit small, two points were enough.

  Lao Zhoutou gave the **** to Da Lang, nodded and said: "Okay, just this piece, cut the grass first."

   Then he went to say Chu Lang, "Look at you, and then look at your sister, what kind of land you chose, trees and rocks, and it took two months to open up wasteland."

  Thursday Lang said unconvinced: "My big one!"

  Lao Zhou snorted, "What's the use? The land is not fat, can you grow something?"

   Speaking of this, Lao Zhou was angry and said: "You are not allowed to take fat from home in the future. If you want to get fat, you can refill it yourself. See how much fertilizer you picked in the field some time ago? Don't farm at home in the Spring Festival?"

  This is Chu Lang's guilty conscience, he lowered his head.

  Man Bao, who was happily picking up rocks and throwing them out, listened and ran away because she asked the fourth brother to pick the fat.

  Xiao Qian obviously knew that it was her idea. Seeing her rushing over, he stretched out his finger and nodded her forehead.

  Many people open up wasteland faster, not to mention that Zhou Dalang, Tuesday Lang and Wednesday Lang are good at work, much better than the three younger brothers, and there are Xiaoqian and the others mowing grass and picking stones.

  They all took a corner and hoeed it directly, and they turned out the land in one day.

  Of course, it’s not enough to turn it out. Tomorrow, you have to knock out the grass roots and other soil, break the mud and turn it over again. It is best to sprinkle a layer of fertilizer to raise it.

  However, Lao Zhoutou is now very stingy, and he does not allow anyone to touch the fat of the family. In his opinion, nothing is more important than planting seeds in spring, but that is the family's one-year ration, which should not be overlooked.

  So Zhou Dalang planned to go to the mountains to dig out a layer of mud for Zhou Xi and spread it out.

  But they obviously didn’t choose a good place. The dug soil was covered with a lot of unrotten leaves. Man Bao looked disgusted and said, "How can you plant the land like this?"

   Zhou Dalang smiled and asked Man Bao, "Then what do you say?"

  Man Bao squatted on the ground and asked, "Can’t you pour it up like you do at home?"

   "This is not fat." Zhou Dalang said. The manure in the house is made of manure and water mixed with wheat straw, rice straw and river mud.

  Digging the soil with leaves from the mountain was the first to start with Manbao, but Zhou Dalang is a good farmer. He has seen that the layer of mud that is dug out is indeed a little fatter than the soil that was left out of wasteland.

  That’s why he was willing to do this.

  Man Bao did not have his idea of ​​solidification. She felt that since Keke said that the fallen leaves can increase the fertility of the trees, it means that the fallen leaves are also fertile.

Didn’t Keke just talk about it? The black soil under the tree is the fertility added to the soil after the fallen leaves have been corrupted over the years, and the reason why the grass and trees in the mountain forest can grow so well without anyone fertilizing it. The reason is that falling leaves and falling flowers will add fertility to it.

  In this case, they would use them to fatten up, because isn't fattening just to speed up the process of corruption?

  Of course, she can't fatten up, so this kind of thing should still be left to the eldest brother and them.

   Zhou Dalang asked her, "Is it written in the book? How is that fattening?"

"I don't know," Man Bao said, "I haven't seen a book like this yet, but don't worry, big brother. Water the river, let’s sprinkle more leaves in."

  Zhou Dalang:……

  The first time I heard that you don’t want to make fat and water, but instead sprinkle leaves.

  He didn't trust Man Bao very much, but she was really annoying. She had no choice but to take her brothers and dug them a big hole next to the ground, and poured all the soiled leaves dug from the mountain into it.

  　 These chapters are written relatively quickly, so there are typos, if you find out, remember to tell me under the book review, and I will correct it
