The Green Lotus Peasant Girl - Chapter 58

No one from the Yang family came at the time of the measurement, it was the village head.

Li Qinghe was surprised when she heard that it was the Yang family. She and the Yang family were actually unfamiliar, and only Yang Lanrou was the one she knew best.

“That piece of land is not as good as yours.” The village chief lowered his voice, “But in this village, it’s a relatively good barren slope.”

Yes, Yang’s side is already a slope.

The side that Li Qinghe previously measured was flat. In the past, it was a slope, and there were bamboo forests on that large slope. Bamboo is not that simple to root out. It can grow far away, and it is Li Qinghe. Bamboo has grown everywhere in the chicken farm.

“I will be neighbors in the future, get along well.” Before leaving, the village head left such a sentence.

To be honest, Li Qinghe really didn’t think about the problem of getting along with the two families. Her house is away from the Yang family’s land, and the acre of land in the middle is a barren forest where chickens are raised. There is only a small path past. Don’t go by yourself.

It’s spring plowing now, and Li Qinghe is busy here, so he can’t take care of the Yang family. She and Zhou Chengkang went to the town to buy seeds again, and they still planted barley like last year. It is worth mentioning that there was an extra thing called sweet potato in the seed shop this year.

The black long strip, Li Qinghe’s eyes lit up when he saw it, and asked the guy, “How do you grow this?”

The man took a look and said hurriedly, “Just bury it in the ground. I heard that the yield per mu is very high. Do you want it?”

His attitude was a bit wrong. Li Qinghe looked at him suspiciously. Normally, many people in the village didn’t buy seeds and kept them for themselves. Because she didn’t have seeds, she had more land this year, so it has only been in the past two years. Want to buy.

Farmers generally do not buy seeds if they have no surprises. However, no matter the grain shop or the seed shop, the ordinary farmers will ignore them. After all, they are poor at first sight and can’t buy anything.

His attitude is so enthusiastic now, there should be something in it.

Li Qinghe asked curiously, “Anything to say?”

The guy glanced at the inner room and said in a low voice, “This new seed is a quota given by the county. Each shop must sell 500 jin, but I heard that this thing was in the next county last year… If you buy it, I’ll help you make it cheaper. Normally five wen per catty, I’ll count three for you. How much are you, I’ll do the calculation for you.”

Li Qinghe tentatively said, “Two mu.”

The guy was a little surprised, “This thing is very weighed, and you may not be enough to bring all the five hundred catties back.”

Li Qinghe thought for a while and said, “It’s 30 catties.”

Man understood, this was taken back and tried to grow, without much words, he neatly installed it for her, and the two put the wheat seeds in the wagon and went to buy some meat before returning home.

Along the way, he took a few people from the village. Zhou Chengkang didn’t ask for their copper plates, so he took it as a help. The sweet potato was at the bottom, but no one saw it.

“What is this for?” Zhou Chengkang pointed to the bag of sweet potatoes, “Want to try to grow it?”

Li Qinghe laughed, “Is it too late to ask now?” Don’t you want to plant, isn’t it just asking when you are in the shop?

Zhou Chengkang took a small piece and broke it open, revealing the white and red meat inside, “Anyway, you want to buy it. I think this is probably still edible.”

In fact, he has seen this and knows how to eat it. Someone in the village did plant it in his previous life, but there are too many seeds for this flower. Basically, one hundred catties of seeds can harvest two hundred catties back. That is all good luck. So she wanted to buy it, but he didn’t stop it, so she would eat it herself.

Li Qinghe laughed and approached him mysteriously, “I will plant this.”

She leaned close, and exhaled the heat to Zhou Chengkang’s ears, blowing his heart and mind, and quickly said, “Madam, what kind of this, you have something to say, I promise to make it right for you.”

The two spent half a day burying the piles of sweet potatoes in the ground, lined up one by one and covered them with soil. It was hard to say anything. When Zhou Chengkang saw it, he couldn’t help but said, “We have so many land, or wasteland, not afraid of waste, why should you squeeze it together?”

Li Qinghe smiled and shook his head, “I’ll talk about it later.”

The two were busy with spring plowing. When they were looking for someone to clean up the land this year, Li Qinghe asked them to take out a wide and narrow row, leaving a road for about two feet. After the wheat seeds were sprinkled, they could still walk in a clear way. The big difference that others sprinkled on it seemed like a waste of land.

Although some people think this is wasteful, they don’t bother to say that it is wasteland. Besides, Li Qinghe doesn’t know how to farm. Isn’t Zhou Chengkang still not?

A few days later, when the wheat was planted, the Yang family over there was already processing their wasteland. They don’t have anyone who can farm the land, so they still hire people. Unlike Li Qinghe, they owe wages when they hire people. They say they pay them after the autumn harvest.

Li Qinghe asked a person for fifteen pens a day and one meal at noon. Yang’s family had no meals at noon, but gave twenty-five pens a day. The wages can be said to be very generous, and there are more people working. More than 20 people came in at once, but within a few days, all five acres of wasteland were cleared.

Now the village looks at the original waste grassland, first here is a large flat land with Li Qinghe’s house in the middle, and then looking outside the village, you will find a piece of weed grass in the middle, and then a large strip of land in the middle. A flat ground with a slope. Ignoring the chicken weeds left in the middle, it looks much better than the original barren.

The fields of the Yang family were also sprinkled with barley. It is worth mentioning that the Yang family is already looking for someone to move the blue bricks over, and it seems that they have to build a house. Moreover, their family built a courtyard wall to separate them at the boundary between the two houses, leaving only a road in the outermost place.

It’s good to have a courtyard wall. Originally, Li Qinghe’s side close to Yang’s house was used to raise chickens in wasteland. Before, she asked Li Kui and the others to help them by weaving bamboo sticks to stop them. Nowadays, there are tall courtyard walls. Of course better.

As for the original intention of the Yang family seminary wall, regardless of him, Li Qinghe did not intend to get close to the Yang family anyway.

The seeds have been planted before and after, and it has reached the beginning of February. Everything recovers, and the weather gradually warms up.

The sweet potato that Li Qinghe planted earlier had grown lush and lush. After seeing it, she began to pinch it from the root, and then went to plant it with Zhou Chengkang.

Seeing the pinched seedlings, it really didn’t even have a root. Zhou Chengkang took a **** to dig a hole, hesitated several times, and his expression was difficult to express.

Can this live?

The seedlings are almost the same when used for cooking.

Except for the vegetable field, all the land they have had been planted with barley. The pits dug now are all the trails that were originally set aside. It is equivalent to planting in the barley area.

Li Qinghe saw his expression, “Do you think we are in vain?”

Zhou Chengkang wanted to nod, but he was afraid of hitting her, so he tentatively said, “This doesn’t even have a root…” And in his previous life, he knew that there were people in the village planting this. It was really uneconomical, but he had never seen this kind of method.

Li Qinghe squatted on the ground and pushed the sweet potato seedlings into the dug pit, “The roots will be established in two days.”

The two of them had been busy for nearly half a month before they planted all the trails that were set aside. During this period, they had to rest for two days because of a pinch that did not grow out.

After finishing the work here, it was the end of February. After the villagers finished planting in spring, they started to chop wood more diligently or went to the town to find day laborers, but Li Qinghe was busy raising pigs again. Pork can be eaten and sold, and the most important thing is pig manure. Right now, only that one can fatten the land.

She didn’t even have a pigpen if she wanted to raise pigs, so she started making bricks again. This pigsty is different from building this house. Blue bricks are used to build the house, but the blue bricks are too expensive and the pigsty can’t be used. They usually use adobe bricks. This takes a little effort and does not cost money to buy.

The land of the Li family was really planted by Li Fu himself this year, and the Qian had been lying down, helping to sow the seeds and never went.

Occasionally, Yu Yan would come to talk to her, and even said that Qian was lying all day long, not to mention going to the ground. That was not even cooking. Li Fu went back after finishing work. Most of them cooked something to deal with, Qian took that. She can actually be used to eating. Recently, she has been busy in the field. It is said that her father has also learned to cook.

Her illness is not over yet.

Li Fu Annoying Li Qinghe didn’t know, but she was willing to accommodate the Qian family because she and her father had a good time, helping him with cooking and laundry. Someone asked if it was cold or hot. Now that she doesn’t want to be better, there are more ways.

Li Qinghe asked Zhou Chengkang to personally invite Li Fu over to help make the pigsty, starting with building bricks.

Li Fu was too busy to help his daughter because he was too busy to help his daughter. Now he was busy in the field. He just went here to invite him. The next day he changed his clothes and came over. When Zhou Chengkang went there earlier, he asked for breakfast. Come here to eat and will be prepared in advance.

When Li Fu arrived, the thick porridge was cooked, and it was delivered to him steamingly. There were two delicious side dishes. After eating, he started to work. At lunch time, the steamed buns were still added with fine noodles. The meat, vegetables and soup are all hot and tastes good. They are indeed the craftsmanship of my daughter.

Tasty is delicious, and I can’t help but say, “Will it be too wasteful?”

Li Qinghe smiled, “No, it’s a shame to eat.” Anyway, Li Fu doesn’t need any wages, she can afford to just eat some food.

Li Fu didn’t speak any more, but his hands became rounder when he was playing the bricks.

In the evening, the food was still as good. Li Fu felt very comfortable. If you are tired, you should be tired, but you can eat comfortably. The farmers work hard, so that you can eat well.

He works here. On the contrary, the Qian family at home…

She slept too much during the day, and she couldn’t fall asleep at night, and did not fall asleep until dawn. When I woke up, the sky was already bright outside, and there was no one at home, but the chickens in the backyard were so hungry that they cried so hard that they couldn’t sleep.

She listened carefully to the movement of the kitchen, and it didn’t look like someone for a while. Not only the kitchen, but the front and back yards seemed to be empty. She closed her eyes again and there was no one in the house. That should be going out.

She looked at the sunlight outside the window. At this hour, it was time to come back for breakfast, so she closed her eyes again.

She couldn’t sleep either, and she didn’t know how long it had passed. Seeing the sun getting higher and higher, it seemed like it was time for lunch.

Thinking that Li Fu would always come back to cook lunch, he kept listening to the movement outside, but after waiting for a long time, the sun began to set, there was no movement outside, and the chickens in the backyard seemed to fly out.

Qian couldn’t sleep anymore, and sat up. At the moment, I really felt a pain in my stomach and he was hungry!
