"Dad, the sweet potato vines bred by our family have grown, it's time to plant them, tomorrow our family and uncle will plant the red ones together!" Yu Xin discussed with her family.

"Are the sweet potatoes growing? Isn't it already planted in the field, isn't it still planted? So how do you plant it? Tomorrow our family will go to plant sweet potatoes, Yuxin, you teach everyone to plant together. "Grandpa has always been full of hope for this high-yield sweet potato, and he will hear that it can be planted naturally positively.

"Let Foreman Feng supervise the construction site tomorrow, what's the matter? Let him find the village chief, let's go and plant the sweet potatoes in the field first, that's a big deal, if this thing is really high-yielding, how many people in our country can solve the problem of eating in the future, how many people don't have to starve and freeze in winter, and how many lives can they live? "Grandpa has the final word.

"Lao Yan, let's first prepare scissors, frames and small hoes tomorrow."

"Girl, don't you need a hoe to farm? How do you farm with a small hoe and scissors? ”

"Scissors are to cut the sweet potato vine from the root of the main trunk of the sweet potato, and then cut it into small sections, and then dig a hole with a small hoe when planting and then plant it," Yu Xin explained.

"Girl, how do you know to do this, you don't know how to farm, listen to your nonsense. Your grandfather and I have been farming for so many years, and I can't be said to be super good at it, but I've never heard that you can plant it by cutting leaves. It also bears fruit. ”

"Grandpa, this is one I met, I always asked Hanako to teach me, he said that this kind of planting can bear fruit, and save seeds. Otherwise, let's try it this year, and those wastelands will not bear fruit if they grow other things. ”

"Dad, let's try it this year, anyway, it's a wasteland, even if you grow other food, the fruit is very small, and now the family has a fish seller for a living, and you won't be hungry, let's try it this year, if we grow food, we won't receive more this year, and then buy some wasteland, let's plant more." The grassroots know, his daughter, but after the guidance of the Bodhisattva, it can be said that such a seed will definitely have a great harvest.

When Old Man Ma heard his son-in-law say this, he didn't want to stop him too much, after all, the land belonged to his son-in-law. The decision is ultimately in the hands of the son-in-law, but if there is a big gain, it is even better.

Early the next morning, Liu Caogen went to tell the village chief and asked her to supervise the construction site, and his family went to the geography of raising sweet potato seeds to cut sweet potato vines and prepare to plant sweet potatoes.

"What about the grassroots? The sweet potato seedlings in the field are growing quite well, and it seems that you should be able to plant more than ten acres of land today. Liu Xiagen said to the grassroots.

"Brother Xia Gen, if you want to plant this sweet potato seedling, you can also get some to plant, it's not that it's a waste of land, you also have wasteland, it's better than planting that bean, you can try it!" Liu Caogen said sincerely.

"The grassroots went to your family to plant here, if I take it to plant again, what will you plant? It's better for you to grow your own, I'll wait for you to plant it next year. ”

"Brother Xia Gen is not in the way, there are many sweet potato seedlings, I can't plant my ten acres of land, you can go with confidence, it's okay, or you can get some now, plant your land first, I and my father still have, baby and his mother, we will plant our own land, and you will come over to help me when you finish planting."

"It's better for your family to plant first, and when your family finishes planting and has leftovers, I will plant my few acres of wasteland. If I hadn't ordered some more beans, this year would have been a year. Next year, we will plant more, and we will definitely be able to plant them all. ”

"Brother Xiagan, haven't your land been turned over too? According to what we just said, you will plant more seeds for you first, and then come to help our family when you are done, and you are not like our family with more than ten acres, you will only have three acres of land, and it will be planted in two days at most. Baby, you put these cut sweet potato vines on Brother Xia Gen, let them pick and plant their land first, and then we will cut them slowly. ”

In this way, the three families were busy for five or six days before they finished planting all the land and fertilizing it. All that's left is weeding and care!

In this way, the days passed in a gallop. Yuxin's house has also been built, and there is only Shangliang left, today is the day of Shangliang, and the family got up early, and prepared the things to be used in Shangliang and went to get to the side of the new house.

As in the form of all rural upper beams. The beams of Yuxin's house are also tied with red threads in the middle of the beams and at both ends, and then tied with copper coins. Craftsmen carried the roof from both sides of the house. presided over the upper beam. The head of the division of labor stood on the roof and recited a verb to burn paper money, light incense and candles, and after the ceremony was completed, many copper coins and pastries were thrown down on the roof.

The idle people in the village came to see the excitement, grabbed the wedding cake and grabbed a piece of the wedding card and pastry thrown on it. There was laughter everywhere.

"This is mine, how can you snatch it, these are my business, my son's family? You bad boys, come to my house to rob things, you are thieves. Suddenly, a shrill and piercing voice rang out in the crowd.

"Liu Jinhua, everyone Liu Caogen has disconnected from you, when will it be your son? Don't be ashamed. Besides, this is a happy cake and happy money thrown down to let everyone grab it, so that everyone is happy, why don't you let people rob it. "Someone in the crowd grabbed Bai Liu Jinhua.

"He crawled out of my bowels, and that was my son. Broke off the relationship, he is still my son. His family's things belong to mine, and you are robbers when you come here to rob you. Liu Jinhua said shamelessly.

"Liu Jinhua, if you say such shameless words again, you will get out of here, be careful that Lao Tzu will slap you twice, if it weren't for my son-in-law's good day to build a house today, I would break your legs. Just your virtue is still a mother, I'm sorry. Old man Ma said angrily.

"Liu Jinhua, if you don't know the height of the sky and the thickness of the earth like this again, there is no severity, speak, you will get out of the village for me." The village chief spoke.

Liu Jinhua saw that the village chief was on the mountain, and quickly hid behind the crowd, and finally slipped home quietly. This unpleasant episode was soon consciously forgotten.

"All the workers have worked hard, today is the day of my son-in-law's house, everyone is happy, tonight, the village chief, you and several clan elders, as well as all the workers, have come to my house to drink. Today, there is enough good wine and good food, and everyone is open to eat. Old man Ma said excitedly

"Boss, your food is famously good, tonight we can eat and drink with our stomachs open, don't feel distressed!" Some workers made a joke.

"What's distressed? Today is a great day for my son-in-law's family, so you can eat it. Our family isn't that stingy, right? ”

"Workers, can you hear it, the owner is letting us eat hard today, don't hide your secrets, let go of your belly, let's have a good drink today." There were co-workers who made a fuss.

"Okay, okay, those delicious things have to be eaten at night, now that Liang is ready, we should finish the finishing work, do a good job, do a good job, let's drink slowly." When the time comes, you and her will be more, and the owner will be happy, right? Foreman Feng hurriedly spoke up and asked everyone to work hard.

"Lao Feng, my girl and son-in-law still want to pave this land with bricks. Then connect these rooms with a corridor, and the corridor is also paved with bricks. Also, this house is built, look at the water in the house, you have to get it right! You know, my girl's house has built all the toilets in the house this time, and if you don't get the water out for me, you won't smoke people to death if you block the house. And that winter, get the fire kang channel, although it is the first time we do it, we must also do it carefully, don't burn the fire in winter, the house is on fire, that is troublesome. And the doors and windows, you have to, let them do it carefully, don't warp it for a long time, there are gaps everywhere, the wind is blowing in winter, and people who don't talk about it are uncomfortable. ”

"Hey, I know the old club, don't worry, I will find a craftsman to do the later work for you. Guaranteed to make your family stay comfortable. Foreman Feng hurriedly responded. This time he spent a lot of effort to build a house for Liu Caogen, this Liu Caogen is a capable person, and the sewer installed in the house is the first in the country, the previous house was a square Gong bucket, but now Liu Caogen's family took the Gong bucket, separated a small room in the house, and made a square pier with a hole dug, and there is also a square puddle built with bricks that can pull out the wooden stopper. However, the square cistern is taller than the square pier. It uses the force of water to wash away dirt.

The Liu family's kang is also good. Although it is the weather in the south of the Yangtze River, people sleep on wooden beds. But the winter is still very cold, and without the ondol, the house is much warmer. Especially in winter, the elderly are prone to winter. Liu Jia's one, built by the house, can be regarded as the first part of Qingshui Town. After so many years of building a house in Qingshui Town, Foreman Feng is the first time you have seen such a particular design and such a perfect layout. She helped Liu Caogen's family buy this design drawing, and as long as he used these designs once in the future, he would extract 10% of the cost he collected and give it to Liu Caogen's family. It was because of this design that Foreman Feng later became the largest builder in the country.
