…………

On Monday, the weather was sunny, in the morning, when the rooster crowed, Li Shan's family had already gotten up, and on the Taolin side, Lin Ying accompanied a few old people, packed up the bamboo basket, and was going to do a big job today.

Half of the seedlings of the early watermelon have now withered and yellowed, it's time to pull the seedlings, Li Shan pulled the cart, Zhang Lan, Li Feng carried a bamboo basket, Li Feng also picked up a few pairs of gloves, Zhang Lan also said a few words. Rural people are not so particular, Li Feng is afraid of Lin Ying for a while, several old people pull seedlings and wipe their hands, and watermelon seedlings have some hands. Besides, the main root system of watermelon has tens of centimeters, or even ten centimeters, although the river beach is sandy, there are many fibrous roots, and it takes a lot of strength to pull out the seedlings.

The melon field is not far away, and it will be there in a while, and the watermelon field on the side has been turned over and planted with mung beans, or something else, only the watermelon seedlings of Li Feng's family have not been cleaned up. The main reason is that Li Feng watered some spring water, especially Li Feng deliberately watered a few springs first, and now it is still dark green.

"Why are there so many weeds?" Lin Lao and the others also rushed over, looking at the grass more than a foot high in the melon field, quite surprised.

Li Shan was a little embarrassed, who had grass in the crops in the countryside, but it was a very embarrassing thing, and others were biting their tongues behind their backs. Lin Chengdong asked, I really don't know how to talk about it, what is going on with the weeds in this field, but I used to have a few grasses. "Lin Bo, maybe the bottom fertilizer this year is too thick, not to mention the weeds, the watermelon grows a lot, it is big, and even the watermelon seedlings wilt later than others." Li Feng knew that he was caused by pouring spring water, so he could only find a way to deal with it.

"Don't say it." Cheng Lao opened a tuft of grass, and looked at it, three or four dozen catties of watermelons on it, connected with knots, neatly arranged, looking at how festive it was, who saw such a bumper harvest scene, and was happy from the bottom of his heart.

"Wow, there are so many watermelons here." Lin Ying picked up the melon seedlings, these watermelon seedlings were so high that the grass was high, and the watermelons were invisible.

Lin Lao, Cheng Lao, Zhang Lan was stunned, and even Li Shan hurriedly picked up the grass, look, not to mention that there are really a lot of melons, only Li Feng is more serious, which is expected, but looking at the place where a few people picked it up, Li Feng couldn't help but be shocked. Three or four watermelons were placed side by side in these grass piles, and it was really shocking to watch, dozens of such watermelons gathered all the way to imagine, and several people were stunned when they looked at them.

"Xiaobao, that's right, it seems that the bottom is fat, look at this melon, it's really gratifying." Lin Lao sighed a few words, remembering to build a dam and intercept the big river, at that time the river beach had just been exposed, a thick layer of silt, planted with watermelons, the largest was more than 80 catties, and a little strength could not be moved.

"No, the soil is good." Cheng Lao patted the fist-sized watermelon at his feet, picked it off, and patted it hard, the watermelon cracked in response, and the red sand sand melon was half divided into the old Wang next to him, this melon is only three or four catties, although the small taste is not bad.

In the morning, it was lukewarm, a group of people started, pulled seedlings, cleaned up watermelons, some small young watermelons, Li Feng picked them up for Xiaohua, a few rabbits to make food, chickens and ducks also love to eat, but unfortunately their own pigs, sold a year ago, and now the pigsty is empty, not to mention a few days to catch a pig to raise.

After more than two hours of busy work, it was only less than two-thirds of the cleaning, mainly watermelons, looking at the mountains of watermelons behind them, everyone smiled bitterly, looking at the breakfast is not finished. Zhang Lan will go back to cook at this time, Li Feng saw that Lin Ying was a little tired, and asked her to go back with her, several old people were getting healthier and healthier, but at this time, their faces were just a little red, and there was a trace of sweat on their foreheads.

Li Feng pulled the cart over, first put the watermelons in the bamboo basket, seven or eight bamboo baskets, each bamboo basket was packed with more than a dozen watermelons, put them in the front and back of the car, in the middle, and then put the watermelons, full of a car, Li Feng noticed that there were one hundred and thirty or forty watermelons. I looked at the ground, and I didn't see less, at this time, at least four or five times, the whole field was cleaned up, and there was no six or seven cars that could never be pulled. Li Shan was surprised and knew what to say, the year before last, this land was also planted with watermelons, and there were only two carts more than two carts for pulling seedlings. And the watermelons bought that year were not as many as this year, which shows how high the output is this year.

"Dad, what's wrong?" "It's okay, let's go." Li Feng pulled up the cart, leaning on his back, Cheng Bo and a few people held the bamboo basket, and Li Shan pushed it behind and went uphill. It's easy to go uphill and hard to go downhill, especially when it's full of watermelons, so you have to be very careful.

"Slow down, lift the handle." Li Shan stepped forward and helped Li Feng, and finally crossed the slope without danger, and several people breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that they will have to pretend less for a while.

Several people loaded the third car and didn't install it well, Lin Ying had already come over to call someone home for dinner, and Li Feng wiped his sweat. There are watermelons piled up here, and Li Shan didn't stay to watch, the surrounding people are from their own village, and there are few animals during the day, so they won't eat watermelons.

Breakfast, the time is relatively tight, the cooking is simple, mung bean soup, steamed buns, cucumbers, stuffy beans, lettuce, pickled eggplant, it is quite refreshing to eat.

I did my work in the morning, and it tasted very sweet, Li Feng ate three steamed buns and two bowls of mung bean soup in a row, full of sweat, and said that it was delicious. Zhang Lan smiled and said, you, you are lazy, get up and run around tomorrow, and you have a good appetite. After breakfast, Lin Ying helped Zhang Lan clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and this girl was getting more and more presentable.

In the morning, some people from the city came to the village, and they didn't catch up with yesterday's event, which was a little regrettable, but looking at the scenery left and right, the green trees are shady, the small river water, the bluestone mountain road, the natural pergola, the green bamboo, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, and the swallows fly by from time to time. The bluestone yard is full of loofahs, zucchini, flowers, pear trees in the yard, pear trees outside the courtyard, locust trees with white petals falling in the distance, distant mountains, near water, Qianmo traffic, chickens and dogs smell each other, it is really a paradise.

From time to time one or two small boats rowed over the big river, a few ospreys flew up and down, kingfishers flew by, and the water rippled. In particular, many people looked at the piles of watermelons piled up on the river beach, picked up their cameras one by one to take a group photo, and some people even went to the ground to help Li Feng's family pull seedlings. These are unusual, Zhang Lan nodded again and again, this is the best, and the province will move back by herself.

You don't need to weigh it, you can pick a big melon for five yuan, six or seven catties for three yuan, and then a small one, and eat it casually. This kind of excitement attracted more than a dozen people in the city, all of them were full of excitement, picking peaches, picking strawberries, these have tried, but this is the first time for many people to pick watermelons, and the main watermelon seedlings can not be stepped on.

After a long time, 100 watermelons were sold, and the people in the city ate with red mouths, taking pictures, and for a time the whole river beach was very lively, and some bird lovers who came to watch the birds were also quite action-oriented, and joined in one by one. Looking at the people in the noisy city, like children, really, that freedom, it's really rare, it's rare.

At ten o'clock in the morning, the melon field was cleared, the melon seedlings were piled up on the edge of the thatched house, and Li Shan began to clean up the film in the soil and the grass roots. Zhang Lan went home, and Li Feng walked along the melon, leveled the ground, and dug a ditch for drainage.

The sandy soil is the most suitable for watermelon, peanuts, watermelon seedlings, peanuts are planted here, it is the right time, yesterday the peanut seeds have been soaked, Li Feng secretly got some spring water, improve the germination rate.

Peanut, also known as golden fruit, longevity fruit, long fruit, caricaf bean, golden fruit peanut, fig, ground fruit, ground bean, Chinese bean, peanut bean, peanut and longevity fruit. Peanuts nourish and nourish and help to prolong life, so the folk also call it "longevity fruit", and together with soybeans, it is known as "plant meat" and "meat in vegetarians". The nutritional value of peanuts is higher than that of grains, and can be compared with some animal foods such as eggs, milk, and meat. It contains a lot of protein and fat, especially the high content of unsaturated fatty acids, which is very suitable for making various nutritious foods.

Lijiagang is mostly called peanut beans here, which are often used to make salted peanuts, fried peanuts, salted beans, boiled rice porridge, and the least common snacks in the Spring Festival. Peanuts are more elaborate than mung beans, not too dense, too dense photosynthesis is insufficient, peanuts are small, too thin to affect the yield, these Zhang Lan Li Feng and a few people dig pits, Lin Bo a few old people, Lin Ying planted peanuts.

Falling peanuts, now planted, you can eat before the Mid-Autumn Festival, busy all morning, peanuts planted in the ground, a few old people went back to rest, Lin Ying, holding the small flowers that eat tender grass on the side, hairballs don't know how to get a fist big watermelon, it seems that the people in the city threw it, too small to think it was a young melon, in fact, it was precocious, the belly of the little hairball was round, and it was hard to rely on Li Feng's shoulder and did not want to come down, even Li Feng threatened with a little green, this will not work, this lazy little thing.

In the afternoon, Li Feng led the fat boy to run a few laps on the river beach, and pulled out a fat rabbit, seeing that Lin Ying was not there, Li Feng hurriedly gave an order to the fat boy and directly bit the rabbit to death.

To make braised hare meat at night, Li Feng served it early, boiled water in the pot, put the rabbit meat in it over the blood stains, and took it out and cut it into small pieces. Add oil to the pot, boil until it is six or seven hot, put in, ginger and garlic, shredded green onions, burst out the fragrance, put the rabbit pieces in and stir-fry, add seasoning, add water and cover the pot.

After a while, the smell of meat permeated the small courtyard, and the people who walked outside the courtyard of Li Feng's house stretched out their heads to smell it, and ran home drooling, Lin Ying didn't say anything at dinner, just glared at it secretly. Li Feng didn't pay attention to it at all, eating the fragrant rabbit meat, satisfied. Several elderly people are also interested in rabbit meat, which has a high protein content and is very good for the elderly.

"Yes, Xiaoying eats it, how do you do it, it's delicious." Zhang Lan looked at Lin Ying and lowered her head and didn't eat vegetables, and put a piece of rabbit meat in the bowl, Lin Ying looked at Zhang Lan's concerned eyes, and took a bite silently, not to mention that this taste is really good, no wonder this person thinks about it every day. Secretly glared at Li Feng who was making a fool of himself, Lin Ying stepped on Li Feng who snickered under the table, hehe, make you proud.
