Qiao's father paid special attention to the cotton field, and he had to go around twice a day.

Cotton seedlings grew well after transplanting, only a few died, but fortunately, there were still excess seedlings that could be replanted.

However, the seeds that did not germinate were removed, and the remaining seedlings were not enough to replant, and finally soybeans could only be replanted, and the current growth is acceptable.

If you have to say that there is anything bad about the cotton field, one is the water source, and the other is that there are too many weeds.

In the newly opened land, there are not many grass roots, tree roots, etc., and after a rain, they take root and grow again.

So every few days, the children of the fourth team would form a team to weed in the cotton fields.

Moreover, there are many insect pests this year, and cotton is easy to be targeted by pests at the seedling stage, and the cotton field has not escaped this catastrophe.

If the pests are not treated in time, it is possible that a small area of insect pests may spread to a large area, and it may also affect the growth of cotton and delay its development.

Others will lose their growth points and become male cotton, or break their stems and cause headless trees.

Qiao Jiayue still bought a cotton planting manual from the system mall, Bai Ruosheng's expertise is not here, and it is impossible to deal with all the problems in the cotton growing season.

With the planting manual, if there is any problem, just look through the book, which is a lot more steady, at least you will not lose all your money.

Every few days, the members of the club would take homemade sprayers and spray homemade insect control solutions in the fields.

In particular, the members of the club take care of the cotton fields more carefully, and as long as they are successfully planted, the benefits brought are unimaginable.

At this time, Qiao Jiayue and Qiao Hongliang almost didn't go to school much, and basically took leave at home, as long as they could get a junior high school diploma.

For them, what is taught in school is not as good as what they teach themselves.

And neither of them has thought about continuing to go to high school, and they don't know what direction they will go in the future.

Qiao Jiayue was assigned to the job of weeding.

This time it happened to be a group with Zhou Wenhui, she and Chen Mian worked hard for half a year, but so far they have not been able to impress her, so that she is willing to teach Chen Mian music.

However, there are many times of contact, Zhou Wenhui likes these two little girls very much, and when there is no one around, she will chat with them.

Zhou Wenhui also misses her little granddaughter at home.

After contact again and again, Qiao Jiayue and Chen Mian also learned more about Zhou Wenhui.

Zhou Wenhui is a music master, he has been to many countries in his early years, he is good at piano, and he is quite famous in Southeast Asia.

In addition, she is also good at opera, musicals, and has also choreographed classical musicals such as Peacock Flying Southeast.

Before coming to the Takayama Brigade, she taught at Cheyenne University, and for several reasons, she was sent to the Takayama Brigade.

Qiao Jiayue guessed in her contact with Zhou Wenhui that her children should be in the country of Southeast Asia.

She didn't know what to say, but she learned from the overseas radio that a certain country there was now seriously anti-Chinese, and there was bloodshed.

For these overseas Chinese, the motherland cannot come back, and the country that once struggled to expel them, I am afraid that my heart is also a deep despair!

There was too much helplessness and sighing, and in the end I could only kneel in the mud and move forward silently.

The pulled grass is set aside and carried back when they get off work, either for the cattle to eat, or thrown into the digester to rot into fertilizer.

The speed of Qiao Jiayue's hand was not slow, and she pulled out a large piece of ground in a short time, the weather was too hot, and sweat flowed down her cheeks and fell into her neck, mixed with dust, and it was very itchy.

She picked a lot of wild fruits, and when she passed by Zhou Wenhui's side, she quietly stuffed them into the other party's hands.

Zhou Wenhui looked at a few red wild fruits in her hand, which were crystal clear, and she knew that they were the sweetest at a glance.

She looked at the girl who walked in front of her to pull the weeds, and couldn't help but curl the corners of her mouth.

Falling into this situation, Zhou Wenhui had a grudge in her heart, but seeing that these two little girls had been insisting on persuading herself, the soft place in her heart couldn't help but tremble.

Who doesn't want to be treated kindly?

With them here, she might be able to stay here for a long time.

As for the rest, we'll have to look at it again.

The weather is getting hotter, and every now and then there will be a rain, and all kinds of mushrooms will emerge from the ground, which no one will eat, and the thunder mushrooms that the members have been thinking about will not be seen, at least after June.

The work in the field began to increase, and the topic of enlistment was not mentioned many times by the members, and they talked about the field, children, and supply and marketing cooperatives.

In the first half of the year, the members found a problem, the supply and marketing cooperatives had fewer goods than in previous years, not to mention, and the number of purchases was also limited.

And for some items that require tickets, the number of tickets required has increased.

The members were puzzled, thinking that only Taoxi Supply and Marketing Cooperatives were like this, but later they found out that it was not only Taoxi Commune.

Naturally, the members don't know that because of the preparation for the war, the production used for people's livelihood in the whole country has been reduced a lot, so isn't there a shortage of supply?

The most obvious thing is that there are more people in the brigade who borrow fire, after all, not everyone knows how to keep Mars as a tinder.

Qiao Jiayue's family is not short of matches, but Qiao's father has a hand in keeping fire, and the number of matches in their family has hardly decreased, and there is still enough strength to support Grandpa Qiao and them.

The Takayama Brigade is closed to information and knows very little about some things, but the cities are different, and there is a lot of propaganda about preparing for war, and there is a lot of propaganda about digging air-raid shelters and underground tunnels.

The members of the club occasionally listened to a few words, but because there was no such atmosphere in the team, they just listened to it, and their lives were not affected so much.

Because the work of the production team has increased.

The four production teams have once again expanded the scale of farming, especially pigs, which are the main source of fertilizer, and must not be less.

Judging from the situation of the supply and marketing cooperatives, there will only be less and not more agricultural and sideline products.

They don't know what the other brigades are doing, anyway, the Takayama brigade went according to the plan made, and the production went up, no matter how bad it was.

Beginning in April, after Qiao Jiayue noticed that the wild armpit of the bayberry tree had grown pistils, she was worried that it would not be able to bear fruit because there were no male bayberry trees nearby.

But this bayberry tree is very powerful, after the flowering period, a little green bump first appeared, and then this small bump slowly increased.

From the size of a grain of rice to the size of a soybean to the size of a marble, these changes are seen by the children and members, and every time they pass by, they have to take a few looks.

The bayberry grows little by little, and in the process of growing, there are always some bayberry that will fall due to wind and rain and other reasons.

And these bayberry that fell, there was basically no shadow on the ground, and they were all picked up by the fast-eyed children.

This kind of bayberry tastes bitter and not sweet at all, but for the children of the brigade, it doesn't matter if the taste is bitter, it is also a rare snack, and it can be used as a toy no matter how bad it is.
