When he woke up the next day, Xu Zhen felt more relieved that there was finally no such heavy rain, and there was only some drizzle in the sky. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

After a day and a night, fortunately, the damage caused by the rain flooding the road has finally been relieved. At least there is no water on the road.

Xu Zhen sent Li Xiaole back to school, and the entire Yuquan Town looked like it had just been soaked in water, and there were a lot of debris on the street.

After handing over his little niece to the teacher, Xu Zhen returned home.

Along the way, I heard someone talk about the collapse of a house in such and such a place, the flooding of someone's house, the destruction of all household appliances, and the fact that a tree in someone's house was hit by lightning.

Xu Zhen heard someone say that an old lady in the village next door to the fire died last night, of course, not from an accident, but from old age and disease, if it wasn't windy and rainy last night, this old lady might not be able to live.

……

"Mom, do you want to plant red roots?" Xu Zhen asked when he saw his mother come back with a basket of sweet potato vines.

"Yes, the rain in the past two days has watered the ground thoroughly, and it is just time to plant sweet potatoes. It doesn't seem to be raining heavily today, so I'm just in time to plant the red roots. ”

"Hmm!"

Xu Zhen knew that there was not much land at home to grow sweet potatoes, and it was only one acre to come, and if his mother picked up other people's land, it would not exceed one and a half acres at most.

This sweet potato is still quite fast to grow.

Because of the fertilization, the ditches in the red field are relatively wide, and because of the sweet potatoes interplanted in the corn field, it is not long to plant an acre of land.

There are four laborers in the family.

Lin Yue'e fed the pigs, Xu Nian went to the goose house and other places to check and didn't come back, Xu Zhen found scissors and cut the long sweet potato vines into pieces under the eaves.

Each sweet potato vine has at least three buds, that is, on the sweet potato vine, you must first ensure that there are three leaves, so as to ensure the survival rate of the sweet potato vine, and the growth will be faster in the future.

Of course, it is best to use the top of the sweet potato vine to make seedlings, but one longest sweet potato vine can even make ten seedlings, and the tip of the sweet potato is only one after all.

When planting sweet potato seeds before, Xu Zhen quietly sprinkled them with nutrient solution, so these sweet potato vines looked very good.

After a while, Lin Yue'e fed the pigs and chickens, and Xu Nian also came back.

Xu Zhen carried the already cut vine to his own field.

Because it had rained, and it was still drizzling in the sky at this time, when Xu Zhen came to the field, he directly took off his rain boots and was barefoot in the ditch, ready to plant vines.

If you don't go barefoot, the dirt in the field can cover your shoes, and you can't lift your feet, because the soil here is very sticky, and you can't fall off.

It's much better to be barefoot.

When planting sweet potato vines, the method is actually very important, which will affect the efficiency and survival rate.

Don't look at Xu Zhen lived to be 26 years old, most of the time in school, but he can also do these farm jobs, and he is still a good hand, after all, he is young.

grabbed a handful of vines and threw them into the ditch, and Xu Zhen began to plant.

These tasks could only be planted by hand, and with Xu Zhen's mind, he didn't think anyone could invent a machine for planting sweet potatoes like a rice transplanter.

When planting sweet potatoes, you must bend down, hold the sweet potato vine seedlings in one hand, and insert two or three fingers into the soil with the other hand, then dig a small hole, insert the seedlings inside, and then gently press them with your hands. You can plant a hole in three to five seconds.

Of course, before that, if you score a clear score of who is the tip and who is the root, if you plant it upside down, it is likely to cause the vine to die.

There is a lot of rain all year round on this side of Eucalyptus, and the soil is not sandy, so the general land is easy to compact, if this is the case, it will be very laborious to open the ditch with your fingers, and it will make your fingers very painful, but fortunately, the rain of these two days has soaked the soil very softly, and your fingers will not feel too laborious.

However, because the corn is already very tall, and the serrations on the edge of the corn leaves will cut people's flesh painfully, Xu Zhen still feels very hurt.

"Mom, go cut a back of vines again......

"Yes."

Xu Nian and Xu Zhen's sister and brother planted it very quickly. There is nothing left of this acre of land. However, the big guy still feels some backache.

Especially Xu Huan, she didn't take off her shoes, she was wearing rain boots in the ground, and the dirt on her shoes weighed several pounds, and it was very difficult to lift her feet.

In comparison, Xu Zhen and Xu Nian took off their shoes directly, barefoot in the ground, and the speed was very fast.

"Hopefully this year's sweet potatoes will grow bigger. This vine is good. Xu Nian saw that the cut vines were gone, so he returned to the ridge to rest.

Xu Zhen knew that his nutrient solution, which had given him infinite confidence, would definitely improve the quality of sweet potatoes.

And because these seeds are kept by his own family, Xu Zhen believes that this will definitely be better than the corn seeds and grain seeds bought from outside.

"Dad, don't feed more sweet potatoes to pigs this year, and play more sweet potato starch."

"Definitely." Xu Nian saw that his wife hadn't come yet, so he went down to the field to help up some fallen corn.

One plot of land was planted only with corn and not with sweet potatoes.

The rest of Xu Zhen and his sister Xu Huan can basically be done, and the task can be completed in one morning, which is also known as the strength of more people, I hope that there are fewer people when eating, and when I work, I hope that there are more people, the better.

However, after all, he still didn't win, at noon, Xu Huan went home to cook, and Xu Zhen was going to school to pick up his little niece.

Although he paid for Xiaole's meals at school, when he was free, he still went to take the children home for dinner, after all, the food at home was better than the school. Of course, he doesn't pick up every day, because he thinks it's better to let the child have more contact with other children.

I had bone broth to drink at noon today, so Xu Zhen went to pick up Li Xiaole back.

After lunch, Xu Zhen sent Li Xiaole back to school, and the rain was still pouring in the afternoon, although it was small, but there was no sign of stopping.

In the afternoon, Xu Zhen and his father finished planting sweet potatoes together, and then helped up the lodging corn. If this corn is allowed to fall to the ground, the only result will be a reduced yield or even a dead harvest.

Corn is a very sun-hungry crop, and there is also a special concern about waterlogging.

If there is a little more rain, the corn will grow a lot of bugs.

Seeing that these corns are about to be tasseled, it won't be long before they will be full and firm corn cobs. The fruits of these labor can't be destroyed because of a rain.

Boiled corn on the cob, roasted corn, or tortillas are all very delicious delicacies, and Xu really wants to try them, but the corn is not ripe yet. (To be continued.) )
