After Liu Rui's family had breakfast, they began to act.

Two weeks after the tomato seedlings were planted in the nutrient cup, they had already taken root and grown, and on the thick stems, a few real leaves swayed gently in the breeze.

As soon as Liu Rui set up the cart on the yard dam, Wang Huaqiang's father and son, and Liu Rui's brother-in-law Zhang Zhenzu arrived one after another, and they came to help plant tomatoes today. Aunt Li Lan hugged Liu Rui's five-year-old cousin Zhang Peng and sat on the back of the motorcycle.

The rising sun shone on Xiao Zhang Peng's face, and the cyan blood vessels on it were clearly visible, revealing a trace of abnormal paleness. Although Xiao Zhang Peng is five years old, at first glance he looks like a three-year-old child, pitifully thin.

After Xiao Zhang Peng was born, he was diagnosed with mild thalassemia and had to go to the hospital for treatment every year, which was a great burden for Zhang Zhenzu. Because of Xiao Zhang Peng's health, Li Lan had to quit his job at the town's family planning office and take care of him at home full-time.

However, even if several families poured all their love into Xiao Zhang Peng, they did not help him much for his condition, and could only watch him suffer. I heard from the doctor, whether this child can be raised is a big question!

"Peng Peng is here!" Seeing Xiao Zhang Peng, Liu Rui showed a bright smile on his face, stretched out his hands to meet him, and said, "Come, big cousin hug!" ”

Because of his illness, Xiao Zhang Peng's head is a little large, and his forehead is prominent, but he can't hide his big smart eyes. Every time he saw these black eyes, Liu Rui couldn't help but feel a little sour, and secretly sighed at the injustice of fate.

After hugging Zhang Peng from the hands of his little aunt, Liu Rui felt that the little guy was as light as boneless, and his body was not as ruddy as other children, the skin of his whole body revealed a trace of paleness, and the cyan blood vessels were clearly visible.

"Big cousin, rabbit!" Zhang Peng pointed to the rabbit running from the yard dam and shouted in surprise, struggling to get down.

Xiao Zhang Peng's shouting was very weak, if it wasn't for Liu Rui's arms, he really couldn't hear it clearly.

"Peng Peng, wait a minute, let my sister catch a rabbit for you." Liu Rui hugged the little guy a little and said softly.

Because of anemia, Xiao Zhang Peng's limb development is very slow, and now he can only walk hobbly, it is difficult to walk quickly, how easy is it to catch up with the rabbit?

"Really?" The little guy's eyes showed a glint of hope, which made Liu Rui uncomfortable again.

Due to his physical condition, the little one has no way to play and jump like other children in many cases, so he can only sit on the stool and look at other children enviously in the arms of adults.

Somewhat sadly handed over the little guy to Tongtong, Liu Rui turned around and went to pack his things and prepare to plant tomatoes.

After a delay for a while, Wang Shaozhang and Zhang Zhenzu had already piled up the nutrition cups all over the board, and the others carried various tools to the tomato field.

In the past few days, Liu Rui has taken advantage of his free time to wrap the furrows of the tomato field with mulch, and from the side, the entire tomato field has become a white world. Mulching is used to prevent weeds from growing and to retain moisture, which is a good help for crops to overwinter.

The key to planting tomatoes lies in the cultivation of seedlings, the configuration of nutrition cups and field management, etc., and the requirements are not very strict in the planting process. As long as the nutrient cup is buried in according to the specified plant spacing, and then poured with rooting water, as long as people who have stayed in the countryside can do it.

Liu Rui had already cut a few bamboo slices of a certain length, and asked Wang Shaozhang to divide the spacing of the tomatoes according to such a distance. As for Liu Rui, he took the most important job to himself, that is, to pick the root water.

Because the tomato seedlings are still too small to be irrigated by flood, they can only be drip irrigated to the roots, so the root water has to be picked into the field. Liu Rui plans to replace all the fixed root water with space spring water, and such a thing can only be done by himself.

In front of everyone, Liu Rui couldn't show his magical skills, so he could only pretend to pick up 'stream water' from the creek, and then drip irrigate it to the tomato seedlings one by one. At this time, Liu Rui was extremely yearning for those advanced drip irrigation equipment.

As the old saying goes, there is strength in numbers!

Wang Shaozhang's father and son, Liu Rui's brothers, Zhang Zhenzu's husband and wife, seven people worked together, and in just one morning, half of the tomato seedlings were planted. Liu Rui secretly calculated for a while, quietly collected the remaining tomato seedlings into the space, and prepared to plant a piece in the space as well.

Since transplanting a lot of fruit tree varieties into the space, Liu Rui found that the space area has become significantly larger, and it seems that the larger the size of the transplanted plants in the space, the greater the impact on the space.

The newly transplanted fruit tree saplings performed much better in the space than the outside world, and some of them were already sprouting new shoots on the branches, not just turning green like the fruit trees outside. It seems that there is indeed a factor in the space that is obviously beneficial to the growth and development of plants, but Liu Rui still doesn't know what this is?

After Liu Rui's expansion several times, the small pond has the size of about half an acre of land, and all kinds of aquatic plants, fish and shrimp in it are living very well, and a relatively complete small ecosystem has been gradually established. Liu Rui was thinking about whether to get some fish in Xiaojing Lake when the space became larger?

Recently, fishing boats can be seen on Xiaojing Lake at any time, and the fishermen who have been holding back for several years have finally found an opportunity to show their strength. The purchasing staff of the county restaurant kept watch by the lake every day, and as soon as fresh lake fresh food came ashore, they were coaxed and snatched up. Today's market welcomes these wild lakes, which are completely free of industrial pollution and fed with no feed, and customers always order a la carte.

Of course, it is precisely because the restaurants are all fresh from the lake that they need to live, so there are no killing methods such as exploding fish and poisonous fish on Xiaojing Lake. This situation more or less relieved Liu Rui, Wang Huaguo and others, who had always been worried, and were slightly optimistic about the prospects of Xiaojinghu.

However, Liu Rui also knows that with the continuous fishing, some rare fish and turtles in Xiaojing Lake will continue to decrease, and it will be difficult to see them in the future. Liu Rui plans to find an opportunity to go to Xiaojing Lake, find more uncommon aquatic animals, and transfer them to the space. First, it can protect these lovely creatures, and secondly, it can gradually expand the scope of Shennong's space.

After eating at noon, everyone sat in the courtyard and chatted, and also talked about some recent situations in the Liu family.

"Your week's income in this vegetable garden is higher than your uncle's salary in a month!" When Zhang Zhenzu heard Liu Rui's words, he exclaimed: "Otherwise, I will simply leave my job without pay and follow you to grow vegetables!" ”

"Uncle, your job is good, why do you want to resign?" Liu Rui waved his hand and said, "But I can't eat the orders over there in 'South Beauty', so I can let my aunt give it a try." ”

Recently, the business of 'South Beauty' is getting better and better, and Liu Rui is asked to increase the supply every day, but there are only two people in Liu Rui's family, even if they are soaked in the vegetable garden as a whole, there is no way to meet them. Since my aunt resigned and went home to take care of Zhang Peng, the economic conditions of my uncle's family have also deteriorated. In the past, Liu Rui was willing to help, but he was also more than willing but not enough.

Now that there is a space spring, Liu Rui will naturally not let his relatives live such a difficult life, and plans to take the opportunity of 'South Beauty' to prepare to increase the amount of acquisitions, so that his aunt Li Lan will also join it.

"Xiao Rui, can I do it too?" Hearing that Liu Rui asked her to also grow vegetables, Li Lan was a little stunned.

Li Lan of the Liu family's vegetable garden has been to see it, and it is indeed much better than the ordinary vegetable garden in terms of appearance, and the yield observed by the naked eye is also much higher, can he manage such a good vegetable garden?

Since her son was diagnosed with thalassemia, Li Lan has been emaciated, and people under 30 look no different from people in 40. She has to take care of the children at home, relying on her husband's salary alone, and now the expenses for maintaining the family are already stretched, if it were not for the support of her brother and parents, I am afraid she would have been unable to hold on.

"There's no problem with this, growing vegetables is not a high-tech thing, who wouldn't?" Liu Rui knew what her aunt was worried about, and persuaded her: "When the time comes, as long as the varieties are planted according to the requirements of 'South Beauty', they will definitely buy them when they are mature." ”

"But what about Peng Peng?" Zhang Zhenzu, who was next to him, said that it was fake to be unmoved, but considering his son's condition, he was still a little hesitant.

"Take Peng Peng's grandmother over, and my mother will help me a little more when the time comes, and it's okay." Liu Rui, who was anxious, didn't care that the other party was his uncle, so he opened his mouth to arrange things.

After some discussion, everyone finally accepted Liu Rui's suggestion and prepared to join the ranks of growing vegetables.

After a little cooler in the afternoon, everyone got back into action and finally planted all the tomato seedlings in the field before the sun went down.

After finishing work, Liu Rui stood on the ridge, looking at the white mulch film dotted with green leaves, row by row, very neat, and a sense of satisfaction arose spontaneously in his heart.

At this time, the heat of the shoulders seems to become irrelevant, and instead there is an anticipation for the future.

If the success of the vegetable garden is an accident of unintentional planting of willows and willows, the planting of small tomatoes is poured into more emotions. At the beginning, under the questioning eyes of the villagers, Liu Rui has persevered, and now everything is on the right track, which still makes him feel a little emotional.

Perhaps, in the future, the successful cultivation of tomatoes will make a lot of difference!
