Chapter 112: Give Me a Brother
After breakfast, the construction of the greenhouse next to it began.
The villagers first leveled the entire vegetable field, then leveled it as much as possible, and then dug out several criss-crossing ravines according to the needs of the greenhouse, which was used to circulate the heat.
The passages were made of bricks and built with several pillars in the middle, which could be used as chimneys and heated in the greenhouse.
Other villagers are busy breaking the bamboo, dividing it into pieces, then tying them up with iron wires in the middle, and then inserting both sides into the ground to make an arched greenhouse eight meters wide, four meters high and 12 meters long.
It took a whole day for everyone to complete the greenhouse.
However, there are two days to warm up before that.
The next day, the repair of the fire began, which was not too complicated.
After it was done, the fire began, and the coal was pulled up from the town, and it took hundreds of catties, enough to burn for half a month.
On March 23rd, after two days of preheating, the temperature of the entire greenhouse can meet the requirements of seedlings.
Villagers began to bring the prepared seeds.
On the pieces of bamboo strips, spread a layer of soaked paper, and the soaked seeds are evenly sprinkled on it, and then hung with the names of each family, and placed in the greenhouse in turn.
The work of heating the fire is taken by everyone in turn, and the seeds need to be turned from time to time so that they are evenly heated until they germinate.
There are also strict requirements for the temperature, if it is high, the temperature needs to be lowered, and if it is low, the horse needs to rise, which requires someone to wait all night.
Li Yang also prepared four catties of rice seeds at home, and the seedlings of these seeds were enough for two acres of land.
But the problem now is that Li Yang's family has more than one acre.
There is a lot of land in Lishu Village, but there are few fields, basically only two or three acres of land per household, but even so, almost half of the fields are unplanted every year and are abandoned.
Li Yang finally searched for a long time, chose two fields that were not too small, and made up enough for two acres of fields.
However, there is still a problem, that is, these days are deserted, and if you need to grow rice, it is imperative to plow the fields.
Li Yang took a look, if other people's fields were to be planted, they would have been sorted out in advance last year, and they could be planted directly next year, but it was obvious that their family had not done this work.
Fortunately, there is still time now, Li Yang found Wang Dali and asked him to help his family plow the fields, and his salary was opened for two more days.
However, Wang Dali said that it would be done in half a day, and there was no need to pay a salary separately, and Li Yang did not insist and agreed.
Li Yang found someone to help plough the field, and there must be oxen, Wang Dali said, only one family in the village has a buffalo, a hundred yuan a day, and if you go to rent it recently, you have to queue up.
Wang Dali took Li Yang to the family, and when he asked, sure enough, the work of the buffalo was scheduled for five or six days.
"Li Yang, if you use it now, I'll let them make time out tomorrow, you can use it first", the owner was still very happy that Li Yang came to borrow cattle from him, and immediately said that he could lend it to Li Yang first.
"No need, just line up, it's time for me to come and take the cow that day", Li Yang waved his hand and refused the kindness.
These things, even if you wait for a few days, it doesn't matter, there is no need to make them so special.
So, Li Yang and Wang Dali confessed, and when they arrived at their house, Wang Dali could come directly to take the cow.
On the 25th, Liu Yingrong took a few girls to start planting peanuts, and the temperature has begun to warm up, so you can start.
The corn seedlings have already started to draw the second leaf, and there are about ten days left at most before transplanting can begin.
Li Yang was going to help, but everyone directly stuffed Wang Ziqi into his arms, and then said, "Leave it to us here, and Qiqi will be handed over to you."
Li Yang hugged Wang Ziqi like this, and the two stared at each other for a long time.
"Well, it seems that our grandfather is disliked", Li Yang hugged Wang Ziqi and turned back to the dam, sitting on the stone slab and looking at Liu Jiahui and the others who were working in the distance.
Wang Ziqi was sitting next to Li Yang, holding a bag of snacks in his hand, eating with relish.
Fat and Qiuqiu lay beside Wang Ziqi, and their little eyes kept glancing at Wang Ziqi's hands.
Dabao and Xiaobao sat side by side on Li Yang's left hand, looking into the distance.
Huahua lay alone in the middle of the dam, stretched her waist, it was good, finally no one disturbed its sleep, looked at the two people and four dogs sitting in a row on the edge of the dam, and continued to sleep with her head buried.
"Dad, are you eating?" Wang Ziqi took a small snack and handed it to Li Yang's mouth.
Li Yang opened his mouth and bit it.
"Well, it's a little salty, don't eat too much", Li Yang said, the snacks this year seem to be quite salty, and there are quite a lot of monosodium glutamate.
"Mom usually only gives me food when she's busy," Wang Ziqi said as he looked at the figures of several people working in the distance.
Li Yang nodded, but then snorted, looking at the little girl, how could this be said so meaningfully.
"Dad, I'm going to be four years old soon", Wang Ziqi put a snack into his mouth and screamed vigorously.
"Well, dad knows, do you have the gift you want?" Li Yang asked.
"Is anything okay?" Wang Ziqi looked at Li Yang with a look of anticipation?
Li Yang thought about it and added a condition, "Well, you can buy it with money."
"Then you and your mother will give me a younger brother", Wang Ziqi said suddenly.
I'll take it, Li Yang almost got excited, jumped down directly, gave birth to a younger brother, what are you doing?
Seeing Li Yang's incredible face, Wang Ziqi continued: "Actually, it doesn't have to be a younger brother, it's okay to have a younger sister, so I can have a companion."
Li Yang was about to say something, but suddenly fell silent.
"Did Daddy hear that?" Wang Ziqi saw that Li Yang looked at him and didn't speak, so he asked.
Li Yang touched her little head and said with a smile: "This task is a bit difficult, well, it can't be achieved this year, how about trying to achieve it next year?" ”
Next year? Li Yang smiled bitterly, even if it is too late to start building now.
"Okay, that's a word", Wang Ziqi actually stretched out his hand to pull the hook hook very seriously.
How could Li Yang bear to let a little girl's dream be shattered, he could only stretch out his hand and pull a hook against his will.
Looking at the convenience of the people under the dam and the bamboo forest, Li Yang was ready to wait until he was done and get some cement to make the stairs bigger, so that he could sit on the ladder and look at the Longmen Mountain in the distance, look at the vineyards and sweetgum trees below, drink a little wine, and experience life, which is a good feeling.
Liu Yunqing came here at this time and talked to Li Yang about the sapling.
Li Yang was going to plant some fruit trees on the land below, and he handed over this matter to Liu Yunqing to help him contact him, and see if there was anyone in the mountain who didn't want to plant trees, and he could sell the fruit trees to him.
The fruit trees here are all mature and fruitful, what is that kind of small sapling Li Yang used for, it will take a few years to plant it before it bears fruit, he might as well buy it and eat it himself.
