After the New Year, the Lin family is busy, and Meng Shan will get married in March, and there are many things to do now.

Her dowry is naturally the top priority, and she has been preparing for the beginning of the family affair, and the woman must have a few big boxes when she marries, what kind of wood is used, and how the workmanship is, these are the intentions of her mother's family.

These things don't need to be customized by others, Lin Changfu and Lin Changgui's carpentry work is good, you only need to buy wood and come back to get it yourself, at most it takes some effort.

Although Lin Changgui has bad legs and feet, his hands are very skillful, and he is very good at doing these handicrafts.

If it weren't for the lack of time, she still wanted to make a bed for Meng Shan, and if the woman got married, if there was a wedding bed made by her mother's family as a dowry, it would be a very decent thing.

These large dowry men will take care of it, and some of the soft ones will have to be worried about by the women in the family, and the quilts will have to be made into a few more beds, the more the better.

The women in the family are also capable, and it is not a problem to do this, even in February, there is more work in the fields, and every day is really busy.

It's a little busy, but everyone is very happy, this is a happy event, who can not be happy?

Siqi and his children have to go to the mountains every day to herd sheep, and when they go out, they bring a basket of fresh grass when they come back, so that they can feed the chickens and ducks.

It was only February, and there was no wild fruit to eat on the mountain, so they had nothing to do but pull the grass and go home.

In March, you can dig up wild vegetables and eat them, and the wild vegetables that grow naturally in the mountains are delicious.

The weather is still quite cold in February, but it is much better than the cold winter wax moon, at this time the village family to do an important thing is to raise vegetable seedlings, now the seeds are sown, carefully cared for, and wait until March to grow seedlings, then transplant to the ground.

Now there are not many vegetables to eat at home at this time, and the winter vegetables have begun to get old, and now the vegetable seedlings are raised, and the vegetables are planted in March, and the vegetables can only be eaten in May and June when they grow.

On this day, Siqi came back from herding the sheep, and saw that Xuan's was preparing things and was going to soak seeds.

Siqi hurriedly said, "Mother, don't forget that there are peppers and the cotton I brought back, the seeds must be soaked and the seedlings will be raised together, and I will try to see if the cotton can be grown this year." ”

Cotton seedlings are indeed raised in February, and peppers should have been planted at the end of last year, and after a winter, they will be planted the next year, so that the peppers will bear more and the yield will be high.

Siqi did think so before, but then she reacted to a problem, in her previous life, when raising seedlings in winter, she must use plastic film to keep warm, otherwise she will freeze to death when the frost falls.

Now that there is no plastic film to use, if you scatter the pepper seeds, won't you freeze to death? What will you plant next spring?

At this time, the conditions are limited, and there is only that, when the weather is good in February, we can raise seedlings together, and we can plant them in March, but the yield is slightly worse, and the impact is not too great.

Xuanshi smiled and said, "I remember this, don't worry, I've calculated everything, set aside a piece of land, and plant those cotton for you." ”

"Thank you, mother, mother is so good."

Siqi smiled and stuck out his tongue, the land at this time is too precious, and his own land is so big, it is all used to grow vegetables, otherwise this vegetable will not be enough to eat, after all, there are too many people in the family.

If a small area is set aside for her to grow cotton, she will have to grow less vegetables, and it is not known whether this cotton will be able to be grown.

Xuan touched her face, "It's also your grandmother who is used to you, otherwise I can't plant it for you." ”

After all, the Wu family still has the final say, and she has to ask what to plant in the field, if she doesn't nod, the Xuan family really won't make her own opinion, even if she wants to do it herself, because the cotton is indeed very comfortable to touch, if it can really be planted, a quilt will be added, and it will definitely be warm when covered.

Siqi went to thank Wu again, and Wu said with a smile, "Our family is clever and can always come up with some good ideas, of course grandma has to rely on you." ”

Siqi suddenly thought that Lin Changyuan and Xuan's had told her not to behave so smart in front of her family, and quickly said, "I saw it when I went to the mountains with my father last time, and my father said that it must be warm to use as a quilt, so I wondered if I could take it back and plant it." ”

Wu was very happy and smiled, "His son followed your father, clever, your father had a lot of ghost ideas when he was a child." ”

Well, there's also the genetic factor, and it's nothing.

The original owner is actually not stupid, she has been a clever little girl since she was a child, so her current changes will not scare her family, so she doesn't have to be so careful.

"Grandma, if you harvest a lot of cotton this year, you will make a quilt for your grandparents next year, and it will definitely be comfortable to cover."

Of course, the Wu family was happy to hear this, and his good granddaughter was filial.

There are also many problems to pay attention to when soaking seeds, otherwise the seeds will die, and they will not sprout.

The other Xuan clans are willing, even this cotton, she doesn't know how to plant it, which is a little difficult.

There was no one around, so Xuan's asked her in a low voice, "Qi'er, did the old woman in your dream say how to plant this?" ”

Siqi nodded, "Anyway, the methods of raising seedlings are almost the same, that is, you should pay attention to transplanting when the time comes." ”

Xuanshi said, "That's good, I'm afraid I'll break this kind of thing." ”

Soak the seeds, and prepare the ground for sowing the seeds, before digging up the soil directly, watering it with water, and then sowing the seeds in it.

At Siqi's suggestion, Xuan and Liu carefully turned over the ground where the seeds were sown, and the soil was broken, and it took a long time to work hard.

In this way, the survival rate of the seeds can also be higher, and the seedlings will emerge better when the time comes.

After sowing the seeds, there is one more important thing to do, the vegetables in the field are already old, and they will bloom if they are left behind, so they must be cut back, the ground will be vacated, and the soil will be turned over and waiting to be planted.

Cutting back so many vegetables at once, you can't eat them for a while, so you have to make pickles, and every year in February, every household has to pickle them.

Pickles are sealed in a jar, as long as they are stored properly, they will not be damaged, they can be stored for many years, and the longer they are, the more fragrant they become.

At this time of the year, there is a shortage of vegetables to eat, and the old vegetables are used to pickle pickles, and there are no other vegetables to eat in the field.
