Seeing that his parents were serious, Qin Shiou pulled up his trouser leg with a painful expression.
When his parents sent him out to college, they didn't want him to go home to grow crops, but in the end, he not only went to college but also went abroad, and he was a billion-dollar billionaire, and he still had to deal with farming in the end.
Winnie squatted down to help Qin Shiou straighten his trouser legs, and said, "Look at your expression, just planting some crops, you're not tired, why is it so painful?" Wouldn't it be nice to be happy and make Mom and Dad happy? ”
Qin Shiou said with a bitter face: "My dear, you don't know, you are not tired when you plant crops, but you are very tired in the later work!" ”
He is not a very hard-working person, otherwise he would not have come to say goodbye to the paradise of the island and be content with it. In his childhood and adolescence, he really remembered some farm work, weeding wheat fields and spraying pesticides on corn......
Standing in front of the cultivated farmland, he vaguely remembered the horror of being dominated by farm work many years ago.
The hateful thing is that a group of fishermen who came to help with the work of the sea monster drove the weeder and plough machine and stepped on the accelerator vigorously, and reclaimed a large piece of farmland.
"Shet, I said, why did you reclaim such a large piece of open space?" Qin Daguan shouted frantically.
The sea monster smiled and said: "If we plant less, we don't have our share, BOSS, we didn't spend money on vegetables last year, but this year we don't spend money on food?" ”
The other fishermen laughed happily, and the bull said with a happy expression, "Thank God." The first time I met the owner of the fisherman, the boss is a good person, and I love him to death. ”
In this way, Qin Shiou had no choice but to laugh. In fact, he was smiling quite happily, and Winnie thought he had figured it out, but now he was thinking about how to arrange for the fishermen to do the work, as for him? Don't want to let Lao Tzu do it!
It is not difficult to grow crops, everything is mechanized, Qin Shiou pulled up his trouser legs and followed his parents to pick up stones and smash large pieces of soil in the field, and the rest was handed over to the machine. In the end, the plane is responsible for sprinkling pesticides.
Father Qin walked around the field, shook his head and said, "It's too close to the sea, and there isn't much soil in this land. It's just such a layer, you can see that the sand is pulled a little deeper, and it seems that the harvest will not be very good. ”
Qin Shiou said: "Anyway, eat by yourself, how much can you eat?" ”
Even if you eat too much, you are not afraid. There's Poseidon energy. Whatever harvest comes, there will be a good harvest.
started sowing, and it didn't need Qin Shiou, Winnie pulled him to find Miranda's family, they were planting pumpkins.
This year's Victoria Day, pumpkins are an important part of the fishery's work.
Qin Shiou has not been serious about Halloween since he came to the fishery, this is a very important festival, the year before last because there were few people in the fishery, he had no family. Last year, Winnie was pregnant, and he was afraid of scaring Winnie by doing this.
Halloween in Newfoundland is all about ghost stories. also had to create some terrifying atmosphere, Winnie was at the critical juncture of pregnancy at that time, and Qin Shiou didn't dare to let her have any accidents.
So, this year's Halloween is going to be a good one, and the iconic Halloween item is pumpkins, and now every household in the town is busy planting pumpkins.
Pumpkin seeds are ready-made, and fishermen have them at home, and what Qin Shiou chose to plant was not an ordinary pumpkin, but a large pumpkin. As the name suggests, a pumpkin that grows to a very large size.
This pumpkin was cultivated in the United States at the end of the last century, which is rich in nutrients, containing starch, protein, carotene, vitamin B, vitamin C, calcium, phosphorus and other ingredients, not only has high edible value. And it has a therapeutic effect that cannot be ignored.
Of course, for the fishing grounds, its value is to grow big and look good, and then use it to make jack-o'-lanterns.
The large pumpkin does not have strict soil requirements, sandy soil, sandy loam, loam soil can grow, and the most popular fishing grounds are sandy loam soil, which is very suitable for planting pumpkins.
There are many open spaces in the fishing grounds, and large pumpkins need to be grown, so the climbing cultivation technique is adopted. The scaffolding technique is more space-saving, but it will not grow super large pumpkins, otherwise it will break the vines or wooden frames.
This time there is no need for the fishermen to take action, Mario and Miranda's family have all planted pumpkins, and they can do it themselves, Qin Shiou and Winnie followed in the past, focusing on participation.
Planting pumpkins can be transplanted seedlings, or they can be live-streamed, that is, the seeds are directly planted in the ground to let it grow by itself.
The live broadcast is more tiring, it is necessary to manually drill holes, and each hole is normally sown two or three seeds, Mario looked at the little yellow squirrels staring at the side, and said worriedly: "Why don't we put a few more seeds, otherwise what if they are eaten up by these little robbers?" ”
Once the pumpkin lacks seedlings, it is very difficult to clean up. Seedlings can be replenished in the later stage, but due to the inconsistency of seedling growth time, it is not conducive to field management and operation.
Winnie said unhappily, "This is not a little robber, this is also a child of the fishing grounds, they don't steal anything." ”
As she spoke, she squatted down and stretched out her hand, and the little yellow squirrels happily ran over, circling around her, stretching out their pink little tongues and licking the backs of her palms, which was one of the ways for the little ones in the fishery to show their feelings.
Mario sneered, "But you see, they're squatting here and watching us sow seeds, knowing that pumpkin seeds are the squirrels' favorite food." ”
Winnie said, "They're waiting to help." ”
Mario and Miranda laughed, and Winnie dug a fist-sized hole in the ground five or six centimeters deep with a small shovel, and the little yellow squirrels watched carefully, and after she had dug a dozen or so holes in a row, they knew what to do.
Then, Winnie measured the traces of digging with a shovel, because it was a way of climbing and planting, the caves should not be too close to each other, about four meters away was the most appropriate, so Winnie dug with a shovel every eight steps.
The little yellow squirrels began to work, each of them in charge of a burrow, and with their little paws digging quickly, it only took ten seconds or so to dig out a burrow that was the same as Winnie's previous demonstration, and the entrance of the hole was extremely round, just like the compass drawing.
The smiles on the faces of Mario and the others froze and were full of disbelief, and the eldest brother Armand looked straight at it, and kept muttering things like 'I can't believe it' and 'God, this is amazing'.
After digging more than 100 burrows in a row, the little yellow squirrels felt a little tired and stopped, these caves were enough, Mario and the others had already dug more than 50 burrows in front of them, and Winnie gave the remaining pumpkin seeds to the little yellow squirrels as a reward.
After eating the pumpkin seeds given by Winnie, the little yellow squirrels saw that there was no need to dig holes, so they shook their big tails and jumped away from here, not looking at the pumpkin seeds buried in the ground.
Winnie spread her hands to her parents and asked teasingly, "Little robber, huh?" Is this the little bandit? ”
Mario smiled wryly: "No, I was wrong, it's an elf, dear." (To be continued......)
