Chapter 197 Spring Seeds
Before the first month was over, the spring rain began to fall as it wiped its tail. Except for the brief sunny day that the dragon raised its head on February 2, it was either raining or brewing rain.
This year's spring seems to come particularly early and extremely fast.
As the spring rain and the spring breeze blew again, the grass in the ground grew up like the nutrients mentioned by Keke. Before Manbao went to bed, only a little weed on both sides of the road was revealed. When he woke up, the green on both sides of the road was already covered with green.
Then Manbao carried his own small bookcase and went to school with an umbrella that was much bigger than her.
The Zhou brothers were not as good as her. Although it was drizzling in the sky, they also wanted to go to the ground.
Put on a straw raincoat, carry a hoe and a plow and go down to the ground.
Even Old Zhou was wearing a straw raincoat and a straw hat, so Zhou Liulang naturally went there.
The Zhou family has a lot of land, so it is difficult to do the meticulous work that Keke said, and even the rich Baidizhu family cannot do it.
Rice is planted in all fields with good soil and soil, while wheat is planted in the second place, and various beans and fruits are planted on the ground where it is dry.
For example, Manbao doesn’t like to eat winter melons, squash, etc.
The Zhou family has a lot of land, but also labor.
Plowing the land is almost a matter for men, but occasionally Xiao Qian and the others would carry hoes to the ground to level the land together.
In addition to the good fields at home this year, the three wastelands they have opened should be more careful, because the valuable ginger and yam are planted there.
Especially the ginger cube, even Zhou Sanlang, who had just entered the industry, felt very good about it. He went to the ground to spread fat in the dark for several evenings, trying to raise the ground a little fatter before planting.
In order to curb the growth of grass in the field, Zhou Sanlang and his team sprinkled a thin layer of straw into the wasteland.
This is the secret that Manbao discovered last year when planting ginger blocks and yam.
Last year, due to the heavy temperature fluctuations, they sprinkled a layer of straw on the ground to keep warm after planting, and finally found that there were not so many weeds in the area covered by straw.
So they did the same this year, and then when planting, they peeled off the straw in the planting area and exposed it after planting.
In this way, the ginger pieces grow after germination and the weeds have not yet grown, which has bought them a lot of time.
After all, spring is busy during this period, and they are really busy.
This year, the family has another twenty acres of land from Zhou Silang, so they may not be able to do short-term work at Baidizhu's house.
This means that they will reduce one income in the beginning of spring. Of course, now the income is reduced. By the time the wheat, beans and rice are harvested, they will get higher returns than in previous years.
In theory, if God is good enough to appreciate his face, this year will be as good as in the past three years.
But the weather this year is indeed a bit strange.
It started to rain continuously in spring, and the water in the fields gradually increased. Old Zhou had to take his sons to release the water. When he looked at God with a sad face, the sky cleared in two days.
Old Zhou almost did not dare to neglect, and immediately took his family to plant the seedlings that had been raised. Even Ertou and Erya were put into the field. Except for Manbao, Santou and Sanya and Sitou, the whole family was busy all the time.
Because everyone in her family went to the fields, she naturally had to take on housework. Even if she couldn't do heavy work, it was OK to cook and clean the yard.
In addition, Man Bao and a few young people helped, so one is sick and the other is young, and one is sick and the other is young, so they can help the family.
Catching planting in spring is as tiring as catching harvest in autumn. The family members lost weight at a visible speed. Manbao felt so distressed. He opened his own money box, counted the copper plates inside and counted twenty cents to buy meat.
She thought that although the dolphin meat was not as delicious as the mutton meat, it was cheaper.
In the long run, it is more cost-effective to buy pork, but I feel a little embarrassed. After all, her fourth sister-in-law's family sells mutton in the future, and the meat stalls of the two families are placed together.
Datou, who received the money, obviously knew this, and before going to buy meat, he would ask Zhou Silang if he had anything to tell him.
Zhou Xilang Chun was so busy that he had no brains to think about more things. He heard this and pulled a bunch of wild flower stuffings from the side of the road to him, "Give it to her for me."
Manbao likes to put flowers and plants in his room. When there are no flowers, the weeds can be placed on it. Even Da Ya and Er Ya are the same. Every day they pester their second brother to make bamboo vases for them to arrange flowers.
So Zhou Shilang came to a conclusion that girls like flowers and plants.
He doesn't have anything else, but there are many flowers and plants, and there are everywhere on the road and on the mountain.
When he was torn away on the way, he would pull some beautiful flowers from the mountain while he was working and resting, so that Manbao would pick the rest of the food and throw it into the pot to soak it in water the next day. The next day, he would give it to Datou and ask him to bring it to Xiaoma Fang when he went to buy meat.
Therefore, since the busy spring, Datou has to go to the market to buy meat every day, most of the time, he buys pork meat and occasionally mutton.
But no matter what meat he buys, he will give a bouquet of flowers to his future fourth aunt on behalf of his fourth uncle.
Not to mention the Fang family, even the entire Dali Village knew about it. Everyone said after dinner, "Don't say, the four boys in the Zhou family still value Erniu very much. Erniu's husband is well chosen."
As for the Zhou family's behavior of always buying meat at the next meat stall, someone muttered in his heart in the first few days, even the Fang family felt a little uncomfortable, but after more than ten days of giving the flowers, everyone felt comfortable.
As for not buying meat from Yue’s house and going to the meat stall next door, everyone also expressed their understanding from the bottom of their hearts. After all, the meat sold by the two companies is different and the prices are very different.
On the one hand, everyone thinks that the Zhou family is not as good as the Fang family, so they can only choose cheaper pork. But on the other hand, there are not many families in this countryside who can afford meat every day.
At least the village chief of Dali Village is reluctant to eat like this.
By comparison, it seems that the Zhou family is still in good condition.
Anyway, Cheng was much more relieved. She said: "Although their family only bought meat every day during the busy farming period, there may not be many families doing this, obviously they still have their own assets."
At least it is not worse than the few they have seen before. The families of those families seem to be thicker than the Zhou family, but they seem to be reluctant to eat meat every day on such days.
The Fang family is a butcher. The villagers in several nearby villages want to buy meat, and they basically come to Dali Village.
So they know the best about whoever is in the family.
Fang Butcher Fang arrived: "It's only been two months since I was over. I'll go out as soon as Chunfu finished. During this period, she'll go out less. If she covers her, she might be able to cover her whiter. I think that boy would be fine on Thursday, but that face and mouth are okay."
Obviously, Butcher Fang also wants his daughter to match Zhou Silang in terms of appearance.
