    ?

    Zhang Hongmei dug a pit next to the sweet potato kang, and the cut potatoes should be placed in the pit, similar to the sweet potato kang, where sprouts will grow.

    Suddenly remembered that there are still a lot of film in my home, so I covered the potato ridges. This time, I don¡¯t need to erect them, just cover them on the ground, and I can plant them earlier, which is much easier than the sweet potato kang.

    "What a mess Hongmei is!"

    "Do you know if you try it? I seem to have read in a book that the film can not only retain water, but also prevent weeds from growing, and the yield is high. Besides, I have a film at home and don't need to buy it."

    "Isn't it possible to buy the ones at your house?"

    I was choked instantly, yes, this is also bought with money.  But let¡¯s try it, what if it¡¯s really productive?

    Zhang Hongmei decided to ignore Liu Erya and just tell the truth.

    Li Cuihua came over at this time, "Why did the potato sprouts grow so early?"

    "Mom, Hongmei wants to cover the potato ridges with plastic film. She said that the seeds can be planted earlier."

    "Yezhong, Erya will go pick up the ashes in a while and roll all the cut potato pieces in it, so that they will germinate well."

    "Third Mother can still do this?"

    "Yes. I'll pick some sand for you to cover the potatoes, and remember to water it." Li Cuihua picked up the baskets and went out after she finished speaking. She has great strength, and one trip is enough.

    After Zhang Hongmei had dug the cold pit, Erya had already rolled the potato cubes into ashes, and the two of them worked together to lay the potato cubes flat in the pit.  Just wait for Li Cuihua to get sandy.

    It was useless for Li Cuihua to come back, and Zhang Hongmei and the others spread the sand directly, sprinkled Zhang Hongmei and Lingquan water on it, and took out a film to cover it directly, and it was over.

    Before leaving, tell Zhang Hongmei to cover the sweet potato kang and the potato kang with straw curtains to keep warm when it is dark.

    After she returned home, Zhang Hongmei and Erya went to Mengtuo Ridge again.  There is not much work to do, and the two of them worked together on more than half an acre of land to catch the dark and it was over.  Tired Zhang Hongmei couldn't even straighten up.

    However, after the two of them finished working, looking at the film ridges in the yard still gave them a sense of accomplishment.

    Potatoes were supposed to be planted in mid-April.  If I do this by myself, I may really be able to do it.

    Erya helped her cover the straw curtains in the warehouse, but it was not enough, so the two of them had no choice but to borrow from Erya's house.

    "Third Mother, I don't have enough straw curtains in my house, can you use yours? Don't let me borrow them."

    "No, Jianguo, you push the cart back to Hongmei."

    "Zhong, Hongmei, how many dollars do you still need?"

    Er Ya spoke, "I think it's still three yuan, brother, why don't you push two more yuan, so you can't push it back?"

    "In the middle, can the wicker on your sweet potato kang hold up to the straw curtain?"

    Zhang Hongmei was dumbfounded for a moment, and looked at Li Cuihua in confusion.

    "It can withstand it, but Jianguo, you go and insert another one on the outside of the film, so it's safe."

    "Middle, get the wicker from our house, I'm afraid her house doesn't have one, so I have to come back and get it."

    "Middle, it's getting dark soon, or I won't be able to see in a while."

    Liu Daya is lighting a fire in the kitchen, and now the spring is planting.  Tired of work, everyone eats three meals a day.  Hearing what they said, she was furious. She was kinder to outsiders than to her daughters and sisters. Grandma said that her mother valued Zhang Hongmei's pension. She didn't admit it at first, but now it seems that her mother is really like this, hum!  Don't spend them when you have money.

    The three of them pushed the cart to Zhang Hongmei's house. The man was the quickest worker. He inserted the wicker in three or five strokes and covered the straw curtain.  The remaining two straw curtains were not pulled back, and they were all covered on the potato kang.

    This potato kang does not need to grow seedlings, just germinate, so if the temperature is enough, it can germinate in a few days.

    Therefore, water must be sprinkled when the temperature is high at noon.  With the blessing of spiritual spring water, Liu Erya found that the potatoes had germinated when she was feeling angry on the third day.  The two quickly put aside other things and planted potatoes.  Plant the potatoes first.

    But the two of them felt afraid to plant, Erya went to call Li Cuihua again.

    "It's not troublesome to plant potatoes. You need to make buttonholes on the film, and the distance of three forks (about 60 cm) is enough. I buttonholes, Erya, you put potato seeds, and the buds must be placed upwards. You cover the red plums with soil, and the soil can be used  The sand and ash in the potato kang are mixed together."

    "It's better for me to mix the cover soil for you first, so you can hurry up." Li Cuihua went to pick up all the sand, put it in a box, and carried it to the backyard.  Shoveled a few shovels.

    The three worked together and finished planting in two hours. Li Cuihua checked the work of the two and felt that they were doing well.

    "Mom??Is there a cage of potato sprouts left?  "

    "Third Mother, plant the rest in your house. I have film here, and the three of us will finish planting it in a while."

    "Come on, let's go, let's plant it at our house and try it this year. If the yield of thin-film potatoes is high, we will continue to grow them like this in the future."

    Da Ya was in the house, heard noises outside, went out to have a look and then went back to the house, her mother was just messing around.  I don't care about work.

    The remaining potatoes were planted in two ridges.

    "Hongmei, eat at home before leaving."

    "It's no big deal, I still have a lot of food left, I'd better go back, I'm too tired to do anything. I'll go back and take a bite and go to bed."

    "Zhong, go ahead. Check it out (often), if it dries up, you need to water it at noon, it doesn't need much."

    "Understood San Niang, I'm going back, will your house be overturned tomorrow? Shall I come to help?"

    "I don't need you, it's not much. Tomorrow your elder sister will finish reading in one day, and you and Erya can just read the book."

    Liu Daya threw all the pillows on the floor angrily in the room.  Why do you do it yourself?  Some people know how to order themselves before they catch up with them.

    Zhang Hongmei went home and fed the sheep. The lamb has grown a lot in the past half a month. It seems that after the spring planting, someone has to make a sheep pen. Besides, it is too warm to put in the woodshed.

    Zhang Shouyi rewarded himself with stewed yellow chicken and steamed rice for dinner, this life is too extravagant, as for the leftover steamed bread at noon.  Forget it, I keep my throat loud while eating, if there are no outsiders talking about it, I won't feel wronged.  Thinking about the forty tons of rice in my own space, I feel full of confidence.

    There is nothing planted in the space, and I feel that the land should also rest.  Besides, I can only grow soybeans. This time, part of the crop straw has been consumed, and part of the land has been vacated, so I can grow vegetables on it, which is enough for myself.

    The next day, Liu Erya still didn¡¯t come in the morning, so she turned over the vegetable bed in the front yard, thinking about planting three rows of beans, and covered them with film. My mother used to plant film-mulched beans, and the beans could be grown more than ten days earlier.  .

    As for cucumbers and eggplants, you still have to ask Hongmei and Li Cuihua. In my impression, it should be planting seedlings, and you have to plant a bed of leeks and a bed of cabbage.  I have to ask Li Cuihua for seeds for these, and it is not easy to take out my own, so it will be fine during the Chinese New Year.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
