The plan of the year lies in the spring, and the villagers of Zhoujia Village are busy with the work of repairing the road, and the spring ploughing begins. The 12 acres of wasteland at the foot of the right mountain www.biquge.info the Yang family and the Li family had already been ploughed and fertilized half a month in advance, and at this time, as long as the spring wheat was planted directly.

Spring wheat is suitable for early sowing, the earlier the better, the villagers of Zhoujia Village will start plowing the land, and the Yang family and the Li family will plant spring wheat first. The seeds of spring wheat are sown three to four centimeters deep in the soil, and when the wheat seedlings are exhausted in the three-leaf stage, the organic fertilizer on the wasteland can supply the fertilizer.

Spring wheat has good frost resistance in the vernalization stage, and generally does not have frost damage. Spring wheat has fewer tillers and smaller individuals, so dense planting can achieve higher yields. Generally, the row spacing is about 15 centimeters. The sowing amount is determined according to the weight of the seeds 1000 grains, germination rate and the number of ears per mu, and the seeds of about 30 to 40 catties are sown in an acre of land, and the geological difference or the difference in geological water content can appropriately increase the sowing amount.

It took the two families six days to plant all the spring wheat on 12 acres of wasteland. Then he went to the river with a four-wheeled cart and brought many buckets of water and watered all twelve acres of land. When 12 acres of wasteland were reclaimed last year, Yang Yun asked her grandfather to build the wasteland into the kind of specifications of rice fields, as long as there is enough water, it can actually be used as a rice field, but fortunately, it is not so difficult to have a four-wheeled cart of water. Uncle Li's family also went to build a four-wheeled pulling car, which will make the two families have a pulling car and the efficiency is fast.

The geographical location of Youshan is a little far away from the river in Zhoujia Village, but spring wheat is extremely drought resistant, and it is indeed very suitable for planting on the wasteland of Youshan. Spring wheat has a short growth period and can be harvested in about 90 days from sowing to harvesting.

After the two families were busy with the twelve acres of wasteland, they began to help Yang Yun cultivate Uncle Li's family on five acres of wasteland in the back mountain, and the five acres of wasteland should be planted with sweet potatoes according to Yang Yun's requirements. After Uncle Li borrowed a rented ox to plow all the five acres of land, he raked the weeds on the wasteland with an iron-toothed rake, and the small soil clods that were ploughed out of the field were smashed and smoothed evenly. Uncle Li's land was originally dumped with river mud, and his family has been planting it for several years, so although there is no organic fertilizer, the soil quality of this land is more than enough to grow sweet potatoes.

At this time, Yang Yun remembered that the seeds of sweet potatoes were a big problem, and the villagers in Zhoujia Village directly planted the sprouted sweet potato seeds directly into the ground, but this planting method was too wasteful of sweet potatoes.

And this food will not be enough to eat, how can there be so many sweet potatoes for Yang Yun to buy and plant, Yang Yun feels that this matter should be discussed with grandpa.

In the evening, when the two families were busy with the work in the field and had dinner together at Yang's house, Yang Yun brought up this question.

"Uncle Li, how many sweet potato seeds do you say you want to buy for these five acres of land?"

"You need to grow about 2,000 sweet potato seeds per acre of land." It is so much, so calculated according to the yield of sweet potatoes per mu of land in Zhoujia Village, it is only about five or six hundred catties, deducting seeds, no wonder the people in Zhoujia Village are not full.

"Then will we be able to buy sweet potato seeds for our five acres of land?"

"Xiao Yun, now sweet potato seeds may not be able to buy five acres of land, this will be the season of green and yellow, even if there are sweet potatoes, many people will not necessarily sell. The villagers all keep enough seeds for their own families to make, and the rest are to be kept to fill their stomachs. ”

"Uncle Li, then how many acres of seeds can I buy for sweet potato seeds?"

"According to the estimate, it is good to be able to buy about three acres of seeds, if Xiao Yun plants less than five acres of land, it is better to plant other crops on the extra land."

Yang Yun thought about it for a while, and felt that it was better to buy one acre of sweet potato seeds for seedling cultivation first, and the sweet potato vine seedlings would grow very long in about a month, and the sweet potato vine seedlings on one acre of land would be enough to plant the remaining four acres of land. It's just that the next four acres of land, the harvest time of sweet potatoes is later, sweet potatoes are harvested before and after frost every year, especially the sweet potatoes harvested after frost will be sweeter and tastier. So it's okay to be late.

"Uncle Li, you can help Xiao Yun buy sweet potato seedlings for an acre of land."

"Why do you buy so little, aren't you thinking about planting sweet potatoes on five acres of land, you girl won't change your mind and not plant again." Grandpa heard that Yang Yun asked Uncle Li to buy such a small number of sweet potato seeds, thinking that Yang Yun didn't want to plant sweet potatoes again, and felt that Yang Yun was tossing them, so he was so angry that he blew his beard and stared at him.

"Yes, Xiao Yun, it's too little for you to buy an acre of sweet potato seeds." Even Uncle Li didn't understand what Yang Yun meant.

"Grandpa, Uncle Li, listen to Xiao Yun's explanation. It's not that Xiao Yun doesn't plant sweet potatoes, the five acres of land must be full of sweet potatoes. It's just that Xiao Yun thinks that the people in Zhoujia Village directly use sweet potatoes for planting, which is too wasteful of sweet potatoes, and Xiao Yun thought of a way to directly raise sweet potato seedlings and use more mature sweet potato vines for planting. ”

"Xiao Yun, can you think of this method? The people of our Zhoujia Village have never used sweet potato vine seedlings to sow sweet potatoes. Uncle Li was very skeptical about the reliability of Yang Yun's method.

"Of course it works, let's buy an acre of sweet potato seeds first, plant them in the ground first, and after the sweet potato seeds grow rattans and come out, let's cut those more mature vine seedlings and plant them in the ground."

"If we plant according to the method that Xiao Yun said, then we can save four acres of seed money." Uncle Li felt that if Yang Yun's method was okay, he could really save a lot of seeds.

"Yes, Xiao Yun said that this method is absolutely feasible, if we have sweet potato seeds in the future, we can directly find a piece of sandy and watery land, and then cut vine seedlings to plant after raising seedlings. Yang Yun felt that this method of planting vine seedlings, once it was expanded, could really help the people of Zhoujia Village save how much rations.

"Uncle Yang, what do you think of this?" Although Uncle Li thinks that Yang Yun's method is good, he still wants to ask his grandfather's opinion.

"Grandpa, please believe Xiao Yun, Xiao Yun's method is absolutely feasible, you let Xiao Yun try it, if it really succeeds, everyone will be blessed in the future." Yang Yun looked at her grandfather confidently with firm eyes, wanting to seek her grandfather's approval.

"Alas! Just listen to Yun girl, Xiaobao's father, you will help buy an acre of sweet potato seeds, and raise seedlings first. Grandpa looked at Yang Yun's firm gaze, from the time Yang Yun came up with the bamboo mat, grandpa knew that Yang Yun was different, the Yang family from the initial poverty, to the current can eat and sleep warmly, isn't it this child who led the whole family step by step to change the initial predicament.

"Okay, I'll go to the village and buy some sweet potato seeds from the villagers in the next two days." Uncle Li took care of the purchase of sweet potato seeds.

"Grandpa, Uncle Li, let's sow sweet potato seedlings on a mound of one acre of land, don't raise a mound of soil for four acres of land, this sweet potato vine seedlings can be harvested and sown for a month, and the other four acres of land Let's hurry up and plant vegetables, plant vegetables that can be harvested in a month, and then you can sell the vegetables for money, and when the vegetables can be harvested, sweet potato vine seedlings can be planted."

"Hehe, you girl doesn't want to waste any money, full of money-making schemes. Okay, just listen to you, let's plant vegetables for a month and sell them for money on the other four acres of land. "Grandpa thinks that Yang Yun is a girl who can run a family, and she really wants to make money all the time.

It took three days for the two families to plow all five acres of wasteland, and Uncle Li also bought sweet potato seeds. bought leeks, field vegetables, green onions, and small celery, anyway, the kind of vegetables that can be harvested in a relatively short period of time were all bought back by Yang Yun. It took the two families a few more days to plant all the vegetables.

The people of Zhoujia Village looked at the Li family and the Yang family, and they actually took the land where they planted grain to grow vegetables, and they all felt that these two families were simply destroying the heavens. Of course, there are also acquaintances who come to dissuade them, but the two families have already agreed that they will not change their minds, Yang Yun feels that grandpa and Uncle Li are looked at by the villagers every day as "Yali is so big".

Four acres of green vegetables had only been planted for three days, and on this day after lunch, the sky outside was covered with dark clouds, lightning and thunder in the sky, and it seemed that it was going to rain. People say that spring rain is as expensive as oil, and this spring rain is really timely. Yang Yun saw that the sky was about to rain, and Yang Yong drove the clothes dried in the yard and the chickens walking in the yard back to the chicken coop. The clouds in the sky are thick, and this spring rain must be very heavy.

"Brother, you go to the utility room and get a hoe out, dig the drainage ditch in the yard deeper, and see if the ditch that drains into the backyard is blocked." Yang Yun explained to Yang Yong, who was chasing chickens in the courtyard, that if this spring rain is very heavy, there will be water in the courtyard, and the drainage work must be done well, otherwise if the rain is too heavy, the chicken coop in the courtyard will be flooded.

"Okay, let's go." Yang Yong listened to Yang Yun's words, went to the utility room and took out a hoe, and dug the ditch in the courtyard that had been dug earlier deeper.

In the vegetable field in the backyard, Yang Yun also asked her grandfather to dig a two-meter-wide pit for fertilizer, and usually threw chicken manure and vegetable leaves into it to ferment, and the drainage ditch in the front yard just dug to the big pit, and the drainage ditch in the vegetable field in the backyard was dug in the direction of the river, so Yang Yun was not worried about the vegetable field in the backyard, but was more worried about the front yard.

Yang Yun also went to the utility room to get a shovel, helped Yang Yong put the dug soil into the dustpan, and then poured the soil into the vegetable patch in the backyard.

"Grandpa doesn't know where to go, it's going to rain and won't come back." Yang Yun chatted with Yang Yong while working.

"In the morning, I heard my grandfather say that I wanted to ask the village, whose sow has piglets, and you didn't say that you wanted to raise pigs."

"Hehe, sister, didn't I think that we were going to plant five acres of sweet potatoes, this sweet potato and sweet potato vine are just right to feed the pigs, and now that the pigs are raised, there will be no pork to eat at the end of the year."

"You know how to eat, I see my sister, your little head is full of food."

"Brother, you still dare to say sister, every time my sister makes a new meal, you and Xiaoxuan eat the most, don't you eat if you have the ability."

"Hehe, how can there be, it's Xiao Xuan who eats the most, I'll taste it."

"Brother, sister thinks you're getting lazy and lazy."

"It's not that sister, you cooked too much, so my brother helped eat less."

"Brother, you are cheap and good." The brother and sister stepped up their work while arguing again. The two men finally cleared the ditch before it rained, and the sky was raining heavily. (To be continued.) )
