    ?

    Zhang Hongmei looked at the sweet potato field, "Sister Erya, do you think it is possible to grow cabbage in the field? Even if the core cannot grow, you can pickle sauerkraut, and you can also dry cabbage in the sun."

    "I like it. Tomorrow is still at this point. Let's plant it together, and I will find two more people to carry water."

    "There is cabbage in the radish field, but there is no bucket today, let's talk about it tomorrow, or an hour earlier if it doesn't work."

    "In the middle, I agree. My family's cabbage is rich, and I will pull it out tomorrow morning." Zhuzi first agreed.

    "My family also has them. Hongmei, I'll go look for you early tomorrow."

    Er Lengzi scratched his head, "My family is not rich, so I ate everything. I'll go back and ask others. It would be great if more people came to work."

    The four of them went down the mountain to put their tools home and went to the wheat threshing ground in the village.  There are now a lot of sweet potato chips drying here.

    Last night Liu Mao took a few people on duty for fear of being lost or being spoiled by animals.

    The four of them were a bit late, and the second fool went over to explain to Liu Maocai, and then sent the rabbit to the old man who was cooking.

    After discussing it with Wang Hongxi, Liu Maocai and Wang Hongxi decided that it was okay, so they made a decision with everyone at lunch. Every family in the village will give birth to a half-year-old child. Tomorrow, they will go up the mountain to plant cabbages, and the second fool will follow. After all, he has strength. If it is true  Encountering large wild animals will not scare the children.

    Today I worked overtime and finally cut up all the sweet potatoes.  On the threshing floor, the mats made of sorghum stalks are covered with sun.

    ? Tonight is Wang Hongxi who is leading the staff to be on duty.  Liu Maocai was finally able to go home and sleep soundly.

    ? On the second day, Zhang Hongmei also pulled out half a basket of cabbage, carried a pole, and followed everyone up the mountain with a pickaxe.

    The boy is responsible for watering, led by the second fool.  Girls just dig holes, plant them, and water them.

    After a long time, they were all tired and slumped on the ground, and Liu Maocai brought a few people to deliver food to them.

    Looking at the fruits of the children's labor, I greatly praised them.

    "Although you are children, you have done the work of adults, and today you will be counted as adults' centimeters."

    The children are very happy and more motivated.

    There was not enough cabbage, so Zhang Hongmei and Erya went to the radish field with baskets on their backs and pulled out two more baskets, but in the end there were not enough.  That's all there is to it.

    The children had a whim, "How about we go home and find some spinach seeds?"

    "Middle, this one is fine, spinach is cold-resistant. What other vegetables can I grow?" The second fool seems to be the leader of this group of children.

    "Is garlic okay?"

    "Yeah."

    Hongmei looked at these enthusiastic children and had to remind them.

    "You can grow any of these things, but not too many, as it gets colder and greener, and the green wild vegetables will wither and turn yellow. At that time, we are afraid that the animals will come down and cause harm, so let's stop in moderation."

    Everyone is right to think about it, but spinach can really be grown, just don't hold out too much hope.

    On the second day, the vegetables brought by the children were more abundant, such as spinach seeds and garlic.  Shallots, ginger, spinach seeds.

    The boys used big picks to turn over the furrows and carry water.  Girls sow seeds, plant.

    It took half a day to get everything done, and then the trap was deepened, and the trap in the radish field was also deepened, and two more were dug.  Now it is almost the same as the sweet potato field, and the traps have surrounded the vegetable field.

    When I got home, I was so tired that I slumped on the chair and didn't want to get up.

    The sheep have not been chased out for several days, and they all bleat at themselves.

    I don't know if I have time to herd the sheep tomorrow.  They are stuffed with bean stalks, grass for rabbits, and mixed food for chickens.  After answering all the questions correctly, I entered the space to sleep.

    There are too many mosquitoes in the house, ask what the mosquito repellent grass looks like, move back a few and plant them in the yard.

    The next day I came out refreshed again.  Full of energy.

    Today's job is to turn sweet potato chips.  It's half dry now, ready to be bagged when dry.  You can grind the noodles when you are not eating.

    Liu Maocai meant to wait for the sweet potatoes to dry before removing the sweet potatoes in the village, but seeing that there were too many idlers, he allocated strong labor to cut the sweet potato seedlings.

    This works fast.  Each division of labor, there is no phenomenon of laziness.

    The children were assigned to pack sweet potato seedlings into baskets, which was not easy.  None of them cheated or played tricks.

    Now the villagers in Liujiatun have a sense of superiority, and other villages just want to be so tired that they don't have to work hard.

    ?At noon, the brigade will eat as usual, and everyone has no embarrassment for the five-guarantee households in the village, just workThe question of how much you eat, even the bitter and mean people can't take care of jealousy, and nothing is as important as eating.

    After a busy day, no one complained even if he dragged his legs while walking.

    When Zhang Hongmei returned home to feed the rabbits, she found a rabbit with a bulging belly, and touched it hard with her hand. Is it a cub or a bloated belly?  I'm not sure, but it should be fine to see how happy it is eating.

    Are you lucky?  Can there be unexpected benefits?

    The second batch of beans at home are on the shelves, and it is estimated that the long beans will be around soon.  Should potatoes be removed?  Ask tomorrow, it may take a while longer.

    The bugs on the vegetable leaves are the most annoying, and I didn¡¯t prepare pesticides myself. If I knew I could go back here, I would definitely bring back more herbicides, herbicides, and various insecticides, and I would have to catch the bugs tomorrow morning.  Really, I am not a beneficial insect who specializes in catching pests.

    I didn't eat much for dinner, I ate a bowl of wontons in the space before going to bed.

    A busy day has begun again.  Today there are only five adults and ten children cutting sweet potato seedlings, and the rest of the laborers are cutting sweet potatoes.

    Looking at the nests of sweet potatoes dug out with a pickaxe, although they are not as big as those in the mountains, they are not much different from previous years.

    The women are smiling and transporting to the warehouse, and the old people are constantly chanting Buddha in the warehouse. It is really Amitabha to have such a big harvest this year.

    On the second day, more than a dozen people were left to take care of washing, cutting and drying.

    Now there are no idlers in the village at all, even pregnant women are joining the battle.

    After half a month, the sweet potatoes on the 700-acre field were almost harvested. At this time, everyone was too tired to lift their heads.  It's all thanks to the old ox. If it wasn't for the ox driving the plow to turn over the sweet potatoes, it probably wouldn't be finished in a month.

    The remaining sweet potatoes in the warehouse are good-looking sweet potatoes, and the ones with pickaxe damage and insect eyes are dried in the sun, and the small ones are put into the cellar.

    During breakfast, Liu Maocai told everyone that the total harvest of sweet potatoes this year is 79,000 catties.  Everyone is working with their heads down. Although they know that this year's harvest is good, they still haven't heard the shocking data.

    "We all have something to say. Everyone knows the situation this year. Everyone knows the situation in your natal family, in-laws, relatives and friends, right? It's not that we are selfish, and if we want to be full, we should keep our mouths shut.  .¡± (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
