Break through the ice and snow, and the earth rejuvenates. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Binbin stood in the yard, looked at the grass, and asked Li Zhudao, who was feeding the cows, with a smile: "Daddy, what will our family plant this year?" Li Zhu asked strangely: "What else do you plant when you grow food?" Hamahama shook his head and said with an innocent expression: "Daddy, with the war, isn't there all the food in the field?" Li Zhu frowned after hearing this, and sighed: "The land can't be wasted, and this can't be rented out, it's not harming people for nothing." ”

Hamahama thought for a while and said, "Daddy, why don't we grow cotton at home." You can use it for your own home, and you can sell it for food. Li Zhu smiled and nodded: "Dad wants to plant cotton this year." Our family does not need to pay grain tax, and we can sell cotton for more money. Next year, your brother Hai will be five years old, so let him also go to school to read and write. ”

Li Cuihua in the courtyard was shocked when she heard that Li Zhu asked Li Hai to read and write in the school, and exclaimed: "Zhu, this kid Li Hai is not literate yet, and he hasn't read yet?" You say you're a smart kid who needs to be so proud, really. Li Zhu was dumbfounded after hearing this, and muttered: "For people with better conditions, children are not sent to school when they are five or six years old. What's so strange about this. ”

Li Cuihua looked defeated, and said with a smile: "That's an ordinary child, Hai'er can memorize a few books." You don't need to go to the school of Nalaoshzi. You teach him, memorize all the books for the Xiucai exam, memorize it well, and go to the youngest Xiucai. ”

Li Zhu thought about it after hearing this, and responded with a smile. After listening to Deng Shi beside him, he felt a little secretly in his heart, if his father and eldest brother were here, Hai'er's studies would definitely go further. Although he and Li Zhu are literate, Li Zhu is even more talented, but he has a specialization in the art industry, and the things taught by the specialized gentleman and his own family are also slightly different.

At the beginning of spring, everyone was busy farming, and Li Zhu's family turned over the land with oxen. Soak a large handful of cotton seeds in water.

Hamahama looked strange, he had never heard of planting cotton to soak seeds. While playing with the mud, Hamahama taught Li Hai to make the damp soil into a bamboo tube, leaving a hole at the top of it, scooping up the cotton seeds, putting them into the hole at the top of the bamboo tube, watering them, letting Li Bo sprinkle urine, and then placing these "cotton tubes" neatly in the yard. Cover with a piece of cloth.

Li Zhu and Deng looked strange, but thinking that there were just more than ten cotton seeds, and the children were making trouble. Cotton is expensive, but cotton seeds are cheap because it is difficult to live. After knowing the reason why cotton is expensive and cotton seeds are cheap, Hamahama opened his mouth as big as an egg, and Hamahama thought to himself, how can cotton be planted, but there is no unified cotton planting technology at all, this is a way to make money.

Hamin waited for the urine smell of the cotton tube to dissipate, so he asked Li Hai to move the cotton tube under the window of his house, and Hamin was already subconsciously protecting the technical project.

After three or four days, the cotton seedlings grow, tender yellow and very cute. Li Zhu and Deng were extremely surprised after seeing it, which proved that the cotton seeds are alive, and only six or seven of the hundred seeds are alive on weekdays, and these more than ten grains are alive, which is almost a 100% survival rate, which is a novelty. The two of them immediately put the soaked cotton seeds into the cotton cone. After reading it, Hamahama mentioned it and said, "Daddy, you have already soaked in water, will you die?" After Deng and Li Zhu glanced at each other, Li Zhu immediately went to buy a new bag of cotton seeds and "put them into the tube" treatment.

Hamahama looked at his father's formation, and said with a stinky face: "Daddy, I discovered this method, and you can't tell anyone else without my consent." Li Zhu nodded after hearing this, and said, "That's the case, if you don't let me say it, I won't say it." ”

Deng Shi frowned and said, "We should tell the people in the village about this method, so that everyone can make more money." After hearing this, Binbin rolled his eyes, stopped in front of Li Zhu's words and said, "Mother, this is what I found, I don't want to tell everyone." When I sell the money and make money on the house, I won't be too late to say more. What I found is not wrong not to say it. Others are smart and can find out for themselves. ”

After hearing this, Deng Shi smiled and said: "As far as you ghost elf have a lot of ideas, things that one-year-old children have discovered, thinking that others have also discovered them, let's talk about it, we don't have to be laughed at." ”

After hearing this, Li Zhu responded: "That's what I think, I think one-year-old children have found out, and if we don't find out, it's not good to be laughed at." People may have done this, let's still say, others don't look at us as stupid. Deng smiled and nodded.

Hamahama laughed when he heard this. Cotton was also a relatively difficult thing to grow in my previous life, and I planted this because I planted one in my yard, and I watched the gardener take care of it on weekdays, and I roughly wrote it down.

Li Zhu and Deng worked together to calculate the planting amount of eight acres of land to make "cotton cones". Li Zhu left an acre of paddy field to plant rice, grain is the foundation, and without growing grain, Li Zhu is still not very comfortable in his heart.

Li Yu watched Li Zhujia tinkering with these things, Li Yu smiled and said: "Xiucai is different, and the things planted are also different from people." After hearing this, Li Zhu said embarrassedly: "Big brother, our family will plant cotton this year, and the effort will definitely be lighter than growing grain. Li Yu smiled after hearing this, and said: "Now Master Mu, Li Quan and Li Mu's family are here, your chickens, pigs, cows, sheep, and birds have someone to help you watch, you don't take exams anymore, and you don't read books, there is more time, you just don't miss the sowing time, and you can toss how you like." ”

Li Zhu knew that the eldest brother was worried about his failure to take the exam, so he smiled and didn't say anything. Binbin looked at Uncle Li Yu and asked sweetly, "Uncle, what are your family planting this year?" Li Zhu smiled and said, "The uncle's family grows some of everything." There are rice, vegetables, potatoes, beans, and sesame seeds. I don't need to pay grain tax, and there are many people in the family, so I can grow everything I need to eat on weekdays, so I can save on buying it. If you have no food in your house, you can come and pluck some. ”

After hearing this, Hamahama responded: "Uncle, I'll pull it out." Li Yu smiled and said yes, and went out. This year, Li Yu planted everything, some were more urgent, some were lighter and provincial, and one was comprehensive, this year only Li Yu and Li Zhujia cattle had completed ploughing and sowing, and there was no need to invite another person.

Li Quan and Li Mu had never farmed and wanted to rent out the land, but Li Hongshen was not allowed. The eldest uncle was strong and dragged his two sons to the field to farm. Li Quan and Li Mu borrowed the cattle of Li Zhu's family to turn over the ground while nagging. Two days later, the two who were used to sitting at the counter paid someone to plant the rice at night. For this reason, Li Hongshen invited the two brothers to eat a meal of bamboo sticks. Now is the time when money is urgently needed, only two acres of land, three big men, how can they be organized. These two brothers spent money so lavishly, and they really shouldn't have done it, and even Aunt Sun applauded on the side.

Half a month later, the cotton seedlings grew to about ten centimeters long, and Binbin proposed to Li Zhu to transplant them into the ground. Li Zhu saw that the seedlings had grown, thinking that they would be moved into the ground in the past two days, so he responded to the situation. Because the "cotton cone" itself is made of mud, Li Zhu dug a hole in the ground, directly put the cotton seedlings connected to the "cotton cone", and then fertilized as usual.

Li Zhu thought that the child had never seen it, and thought that this tube was made by the child, so he might have to see how to deal with this thing, and this transplanting was because the seedlings themselves were connected to the soil, and the work was lighter, so he took Binbin to the ground together.

Li Zhu's family has rabbits, and Binbin asked Li Zhu to spread all the rabbit dung, and Li Zhu agreed without thinking about it. Li Zhu thought to himself, what kind of dung is not dung, it is all the same, and the girl is happy and follows her wishes. In this way, only attention needs to be paid to fertilization, weeding, hoeing and watering. There are a lot of things to do compared to farming.

When Hamahama passed by his paddy field, he asked Li Zhudao: "Daddy, can this water be used to raise fish?" Li Zhu thought for a while and said, "No one has raised it, or another day my father will let two or three go down and raise it to cook fish soup for Binbin to drink." Binbin thought for a while and said, "Daddy, this land is so big, two or three fish will be very lonely, you have to move all the friends of the little fish here." That way it won't be alone. ”

Li Zhu listened to his children's words and said with a smile: "Xiaoyu is not lonely, we are lonely, so we will have no food." Hamahama said: "Then how do you raise fish under the rice?" If the water is deeper, the place where rice is planted is higher, it is fine. ”

As soon as Li Zhu heard that there was a door, he thought that Li Quan and Li Mu were now at home with nothing to do, so he pulled the two eldest brothers together to help collect soil and dig ditches.

When Li Quan heard Li Zhu's method, he smiled and made a gesture to break Li Zhu's head, and said, "What's so long about this, you can even think of such a method." Li Zhu said embarrassedly: "It's not what I think, it's my daughter Binbin who wants to eat fish, and I said it casually, I think it should be okay, so I will get it, and there will be an acre of land horizontally and vertically." I thought that if you both planted food this year, and if my family was not enough, I would go to your place to fight the autumn breeze, and it would not be a problem. ”

Li Quan and Li Mu smiled after hearing this, Li Quan went down to help tidy up the ditch, and Li Mu went fishing every day, he was tired of it, and he had a legitimate reason to go out to play, no matter how it was better than facing Li Hongshen's stinky face at home.

After the three brothers put the ground in order and put a large bucket of small fish (fry) inside. Li Hongshen and Old Man Li only heard about this from other people's mouths.

The two old men were so angry with this brother that they smoked, Li Hongshen smoked the two sons hard, and scolded while smoking: "Li Zhu is young and ignorant, you don't persuade you to be a brother, and you still help to do it together, and you will be ruined by you like this." ”

Old Man Li looked at Li Zhu's small body, and was reluctant to whip hard, so he let Li Zhu kneel on the stone steps of the courtyard for a night. Old Man Li felt that the punishment was already light, and he didn't listen to others' advice.

Now that spring has just begun, the weather is cold and freezing, and Li Zhu is frozen the next day. Deng Shi looked at Li Zhu's white lips and blue face, and cried in fright. Li Hai hurriedly went to ask Dr. Zhang to come over. Li Tao and Li Bo went to call Master Mu and Uncle Li Hongshen.

Hamahama reminded Deng to cook ginger soup. The children of the Li Zhu family are calmer than the adults.

Li Zhu knelt all night, and his feet were stiff. Master Mu, who was woken up, got up early, and Li Yu hurriedly lifted Li Zhu onto the kang. (To be continued.) )
