There was silence for a moment.

Tang Daming and the guard steward all turned their heads to look over, and even the young boy who was working in the field looked at him in surprise.

Fox Dayou and Wei Sanniang didn't know what this girl was going to do, but seeing Steward Wei's expressionless face, the two of them beat a drum in their hearts, Wei Sanniang pretended to be disgusted and said to Fox Xiaomei: "What do you little girl know, so many uncles and uncles are here, do you want to this?" ”

That's what he said, but everyone looked at the crowd on the other side who were about to cross the dirt! Who doesn't understand the real meaning of Fox Xiaomei's words?

Tang Daming knew that Wei Sanniang's family was very hard when they hoeed this land, so he glanced at the village chiefs of the villages standing around him, and said with a smile to the Wei steward: "Wei steward, I think the proposal of the fence is good, let the big guys line up to take a closer look at them one by one, lest you push me and hurt people when the time comes." ”

Wei Hong, the village head of Weijia Village, has a good relationship with Hu Xiaomei's grandfather Wei Dahe, so he naturally helped Wei Sanniang's family speak: "This method is good, they are all crowded together, and the people behind them can't understand it." ”

Wei Hong and Tang Daming both said this, and the other village chiefs had no opinion, and they didn't get in the way of them, the big guys all nodded, and then looked at the Wei steward together.

The guard steward looked at Hu Xiaomei deeply, and bowed his head: "Yes." ”

After the method of planting chrysanthemum vegetables, the steward left with the little servant. More than 10 villages and hundreds of villagers circled around the dry land of Hu Xiaomei's house, and the black pressure on the inner and outer layers was quite spectacular!

Although it was stopped in time, the ground was still trampled on, and Fox Dayou and Wei Sanniang took the hoe and hoeed the place they had stepped on again. For the first time, the couple sighed to themselves, if it weren't for the second daughter, they would still be tired!

****

Entering the winter, the weather is also cold, the cold wind seems to blow people's faces stiff with ice, and in the morning, Hu Xiaomei had to add a cotton vest inside, and jumped in the yard for a while, and her hands and feet warmed up.

Fox Fence had breakfast and went to the school early. In order to sow chrysanthemum as soon as possible, after breakfast, Wei Sanniang took out the chrysanthemum seeds and soaked them in warm water.

This soak takes a day and a night, and after soaking, it must be rinsed every day. After three or four days, when the white is revealed, the seeds can be sown.

Fertilize before planting. Dig a box trench.

Wei Sanniang hooked out all the in the chicken shed, took a big pot and filled it with a leaflet, and the two of them carried it to the vegetable field. Of course, one chicken manure was not enough, so Wei Sanniang took a bucket and picked two buckets of manure in the latrine.

The chicken coop is well built. It doesn't leak on rainy days. It's dry inside. The that came out was also very dry, and when Fox Xiaomei bent down to drag it, she smelled a bad smell and took two breaths. She covered her nose and took two steps back, puffing twice until she wanted to spit out those two breaths, with a look of disgust: "This stinks!" ”

"Does this stink? Tell you, you'll know what stinks later? After Wei Sanniang finished speaking, she went to the vegetable field with a bucket.

When Hu Xiaomei and Hu Lixiang walked out with, they knew what Wei Sanniang meant, the whole village smelled of, and it stinked everywhere. The vegetable patch is even more stinky.

Spread the chicken droppings evenly on the ground first, and then splash the droppings. There are only a few chickens at home, and chicken feces are limited, and all the manure is used for the fertilizer of the dry land. Fox Lixiang gave Wei Sanniang a hand, Fox Xiaomei stayed at home to prepare lunch, and at noon, Fox Dayou came back with a burden of bean flowers.

It's a little later than usual.

"Dad, why did you come back at this time?" Fox Xiaomei helped Fox Dayou unload the burden.

"There are few people rushing to the market today. Probably all helping to grow chrysanthemum. Fox Otomo said. Seeing that Wei Sanniang and Hu Lixiang were not in the house, he asked her again: "What about your mother and your sister?" ”

"It's still in dry land!"

As he was talking, he saw Wei Sanniang and Fox Fence Xiang coming back.

The dryland is only half fertilized, and there is still half of the land. Anyway, Ring's lunch hasn't been made yet. Fox Dayou took over the work, and this loud lunch was naturally eaten late, but fortunately, the fertilizer of one acre and one cent of land had been applied.

Now it's time to dig the box.

After eating the noon, the rest did not stop, Wei Sanniang and Fox Dayou, and Fox Lixiang took a hoe, and the hemp rope went to the vegetable field. Fox Xiaomei stayed at home to wash the dishes.

By the time the three of them arrived at the vegetable patch, many people had already begun to dig trenches in the field. First dig a box trench from the field, measure the width of the box, dig another box trench on the other side of the box, and then leave the box out, and then dig the box trench. And so on and so forth.

The width of a box ditch was reserved in the vegetable field next to the field, and then the width of the box was measured, Wei Sanniang and Fox Lixiang held the hemp rope at both ends of the vegetable field, straight into a line, and Fox Dayou took a wooden stick to draw a straight line along the hemp rope in the ground. Later, the second box trench will be dug along this line, so as to avoid the box trench digging out distorted, and the two ends of the box are of different sizes.

This idea was still thought up by Hu Xiaomei.

After measuring the box and the trench in turn, you can concentrate on digging the trench. There are only four boxes in one vegetable plot. It was dug up quickly, and the main work was still in this acre of dry land.

When the three of them were busy working in the field, Hu Xiaomei had already cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, and swept the yard, and was about to go out to take a look in the field, when Wei Qingbao came with a hoe.

"Brother Qingbao, why are you here?" Fox Xiaomei was surprised, shouldn't this person also help out at home?

Wei Qingbao looked at Hu Xiaomei with a smile: "Passing by, I came to see you by the way." ”

"Oh." Fox Xiaomei responded, since this is the case, there is no need to greet at home. Raise your feet and prepare to walk out of the yard.

Wei Qingbao hurriedly followed her and said, "Fence, will you also go to the field to help?" ”

"yes!" Hu Xiaomei glanced at him, and said strangely while locking the courtyard door: "We're going to plant chrysanthemum vegetables in the next few days, and we have only rented such a large piece of land, what if I don't help?" ”

Wei Qingbao secretly glanced at her fair face and said, "You haven't worked much on weekdays, and there were several bubbles on your hands a few days ago." Why don't I come over tomorrow to help you? ”

"If you don't do it now, you have to do it later. A few blisters have long been healed. I'll have to get used to it first. "I thought she wanted to work very much, who told her to cross over and not attach herself to a rich lady, and when Fox Fence Xiang got married, she should take over these jobs sooner or later.

"Who said that?" Wei Qingbao said busily, patting his chest and promised: "If you have any work in the future, you can ask me to do it." Looking at the slender fingers of the fox Xiaomei, it was very beautiful: "The handle is not beautiful if the skin is worn out." ”

The fox Xiaomei paused, stopped, turned around, stretched out her two hands and shook them in front of his eyes, and said, "Is it beautiful?" ”

Wei Qingbao's eyes were shining, and he nodded seriously: "Beautiful." Only now did he see clearly that Fox Xiaomei not only had a good face. The hands are also good. It was slender and white, and a sentence suddenly flashed in his mind, "Ten fingers don't touch the spring water." Is it described that it should be like fox Xiaomei?

Fox Xiaomei looked at herself again, and the back of her hand was very beautiful, good-looking. Look at the palm again. Although I don't do much work on weekdays. But because I have been working since I was a child, there are still clearly visible calluses on my palms, and my fingers have touched them. It's a lot of hands.

But......

"Brother Qingbao, have you eaten lunch?"

Wei Qingbao nodded, of course he had eaten Xiang Lunch, and they had Xiang Lunch quite early today.

"It's not too early, so are you feeling a little hungry now?" Fox Xiaomei said again.

Wei Qingbao shook his head and nodded again, although he was not very hungry, but in fact, there was a little bit.

"Okay, then look at my hands." Then Hu Xiaomei raised her hand, hung her two hands in front of him like upside-down chicken claws, shook it for a while, and after a while, said, "Are you full now?" ”

Wei Qingbao was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Second sister, you are really joking, how can I be full without eating?" ”

"That's right!" Hu Xiaomei rolled her eyes: "Since these two hands can't be eaten, then if I don't work, I'm not going to starve to death." Who called us crop households, I haven't learned a little now, what will I do in the future? My father and mother can't support me for the rest of my life! ”

Wei Qingbao's face was burning, and his impulsive words were almost spoken, looking at the slender back of the fox Xiaomei, he actually wanted to say, I will raise you for a lifetime!

Fox Xiaomei pinched her nose on the dry land, holding her breath and finally helping to get the box ditch right, when it was already dark. As usual, she and Fox Fence Xiang went home first to prepare dinner, and Wei Sanniang and Fox Dayou came back after finishing the finishing work.

Fox Fence didn't be as lazy as usual today, when the fox Xiaomei and the two came back, he was sitting silently in the yard reading, and he didn't talk much at dinner, and went back to the house to read after dinner.

Fox Dayou was very happy to see it: "Our junior is finally sensible!" ”

Fox Xiaomei felt that the fox fence seemed to have something on her mind.

After soaking the chrysanthemum seeds for a day, you have to pick them up, then rinse them with water, rinse them once a day, and after four days, the sprouts are white on the seeds, and it is done. On the third day, Hu Dayou and Wei Sanniang began to water the ground with water. Because the dry land has not been planted for many years, it is already dry, and the land must be watered before planting chrysanthemum.

took four buckets, Fox Xiaomei and Fox Lixiang helped scoop water into the bucket, Fox Dayou was responsible for picking, Wei Sanniang poured it in the ground, and it was a busy day. I don't know if it's because she's numb by herself, or if she's born with the potential to do farm work.

Most people's chrysanthemums are exposed in four days, but other people's chrysanthemums are not much, and no matter how slow the morning is, it will be over, only Hu Xiaomei's family spent a whole day to sow all the chrysanthemums.

Of course, there are good and bad things about this. Some people can't help but envy when they see a large acre of chrysanthemum and vegetable fields in Hu Xiaomei's house: "How much does such a large field cost when it is harvested!" ”

As long as the vegetable seeds are sown, half of the work will be done, and the whole person will be half relaxed, imagining a piece of chrysanthemum vegetables in the field, the fox Dayou is also happy in his heart, and replied with a smile: "Although I planted an acre, it is tiring, look at you, it will be over in a while, which is like us, one by one, with a sore back!" ”

The man had a sad face: "It's better to have money, what's the point of being tired." Besides, our hands and feet are not fast, you didn't see Lao Litou, he called speed, a few days ago I saw him hoe two hoes in the field, and I didn't see him fertilizing, this morning I went out with things, and the time for a meal was useless. ”

"So fast?" Fox Otomo said strangely.

"yes, I don't know if it's good to plant it. However, I see that he doesn't even have a box ditch in his field, and I don't know where he sowed it. The man shook his head as he spoke, disapproving of Lao Litou's approach. (To be continued......)
