Sleep until dawn. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoIt's rare to be lazy and not get up early in the morning to clean up breakfast. As early as yesterday, Yang Xiaobei told her father that she wanted to sleep lazy, and her family didn't even come to ask her to eat breakfast. If it were a different person, Yang Laohan would have been angry a long time ago, and what he was most unaccustomed to was the lazy man who slept lazily, and he usually disliked it very much. Because of his influence, the Yang family has always gotten up before dawn. But when I got to Yang Xiaobei, I couldn't get used to it, Yang Laohan still left his hands behind his back after eating, and out of sight was clean......

By the time I woke up, it was almost noon, and the outside had already become a world covered in snow. She slept soundly, not knowing that the snow had fallen heavily yesterday, and it was still shutting down, and the snowflakes were so small and dense that they couldn't stop for a while. Every winter, what I look forward to the most is snow, there is no reason, I will be inexplicably happy when I see snow, and after the snow is heavy, the whole world is silvery, so clean and pure. No kind of poetry can express the love of snow. Hope for snow, and pray that it won't stop so quickly when it snows, hoping that it will accumulate snow.

Looking at this posture, the scale of this snow is not small. Yang Xiaobei moved a chair and sat at the door to watch the snow, not afraid of the cold, not afraid of being disgusted by his father like a child - only children rarely play in the snow! Dad actually you don't understand, I just have an innocent childlike heart!

On snowy days, all activities stopped, and everyone hid at home to make a fire. After being away from home for a few days, Sister Rong saw Yang Xiaobei as seeing her relatives, and she followed her without pulling for a moment, firmly being a little heel. Anyway, it's okay to be idle, Yang Xiaobei took her to tell stories and play in the stove room, and when she was tired, she went out to play in the snow for a while, one big and one small were very compatible. The uncle's house on the opposite side could hear their laughter like silver bells, and a few small ones itched their hearts, begging to go over and play.

The eldest aunt was adamantly opposed and kept the children at home. She doesn't like to deal with the old house too much, the old and the young are so poor that they have to ask them to speak. Especially seeing that school is about to start after fifteen, I have two small ones in my family who have to pay tuition, and I don't know if the tuition fee of the little uncle over there has been settled. In this sensitive period, it is better not to come over.

Not only did their family not come to the door for the past two days, but they even walked on a detour, for fear of being bumped into. Because as an elder and with a good face, Yang Laohan is unlikely to come to borrow money, and he can't afford to lose this face. Of course, with a shrewd person like the uncle, he would not fail to take out money for his younger brother to study out of investment, but this colorful ticket was taken out of his pocket, and it was really painful......

In fact, uncle, they are villains in vain this time. Yang Xiaobei had already taken out the money to his grandfather, and made it clear that it was his father's tuition. Grandpa accepted it without objection. As a family, Yang Xiaobei's money is equivalent to public use, which is taken for granted by his grandfather. But my father couldn't beat him very much, he was worried that his brothers and sisters paid for him before, not to mention that now even the little sister who just came back paid for him to study?

Yang Xiaobei knew that his father's heart was under pressure again. She decided that everyone would not go out on a snowy day anyway, and discuss the next plan together to completely solve the family's financial problems. Although she brought back only 100 yuan, it only cost a few yuan, and even if the tuition fee is removed, there are still 70 or 80 yuan. With the current purchasing power, it is more than enough as an investment.

First, she took out a few packets of seeds from the box. It's an integral part of her plan. Thanks to my mother, she bought a lot of seeds, and they were all carefully selected varieties that were not available in her hometown.

A bag of watermelon seeds is the famous 8424 in Puhai, and there are many plants in Nanhui, and they have already formed a brand. My mother always felt that the 8424 seeds bought at home were not authentic, and the watermelons that were not sold were delicious. So I specially asked Yang Xiaobei to bring it over from Puhai to see all kinds of things.

There is also a packet of sweet corn seeds. Whether it is watermelon or corn in my hometown, it is actually not a traditional planting project. It wasn't until Yang Xiaobei was in elementary school in the eighties that corn reached his hometown. I remember that at that time, my mother planted a few trees in the vegetable garden, and she planned to give Yang Xiaobei a snack to eat, but at first I didn't understand that corn needs to be planted in patches to pollinate, and all the seeds planted were leprosy (describing the corn cob as only a few grains of rice)

However, the advantages of corn resistance to insect pests and high yield quickly won over the farmers. After the first two years of trial planting, corn soon occupied most of the dry land. However, everyone mainly feeds the pigs and uses them as feed. Different from the traditional corn planting area, there is no habit of eating corn in my hometown, and I have never eaten cornmeal, corn paste or anything, all of which are pig rations.

The only time when the corn is still tender, everyone will pick a few and boil a pot as a snack to nibble. It's like my mother's original intention when she first started planting. However, because the corn here is mainly used as a hybrid for feed, the yield is high, and the taste is not much better.

In the past, people didn't pay much attention to appetite. But over the years, the days have become more and more refined, and the sweet corn known as "fruit corn" in the supermarket is still sold for 4-5 yuan a catty, which makes my mother look staggering. I went to buy the seeds a few times but didn't buy them, so she simply asked Yang Xiaobei to bring a bag back.

A small package of corn seeds can only be planted in two parts. However, now there are only a few plots of land reserved by each family, so it is just right to plant it. Yang Xiaobei plans to plant seeds this year, and when they are allocated to the fields next year, they will be able to plant them on a large scale. It's just one thing, the seeds are now hybridized. Farmers have long been aware that the yields of various crops are getting higher and higher, but they cannot keep the seeds.

Through hybrid optimization technology, professional seed companies have obtained the most advantageous side of the offspring seeds, which are resistant to diseases and insects, and the yield is optimized and balanced. However, if farmers keep their own seeds, the second generation of seeds will produce serious inconsistency in trait separation and growth, and the yield will also be reduced. But it's not that it can't sprout or that it can't bear fruit. Based on the current crop yield, it should still be acceptable...... Right?

There are also a few packs of rare vegetables, the traditional vegetables in my hometown are so few, for the mother who has planted all her life, giving her some vegetables that she has not seen is more popular than any electronic products, clothes and shoes. So Yang Xiaobei carefully selected broccoli, cherry tomatoes, purple cabbage, kale, okra, etc., which are all popular seasonal vegetables in recent years, and there are no ones in his hometown.

Today's farmers have long since said goodbye to their ancestors' production method of harvesting and keeping seeds, and in addition to obtaining a large number of excellent seeds, the side effect is that the source of the seeds is controlled. For example, seeds are now purchased from seed companies or agricultural supply stores. If there is no such vegetable in the local area, it means that there will be fewer people to buy it, and if the merchants can't sell the seeds they have brought in this year, they will have a backlog in their hands. So in general, no one will try to introduce a lot of new varieties.
