Chapter 38: Bite Grass

Lao Yangtou allocated the fields of the three houses, which are two acres of paddy fields and two acres of dry land.

Yang Ruoqing hadn't taken a look at the location of the two acres of paddy fields, so she followed Sun and came to her own two acres of dry land.

"Grandma, this is to see that I am too fat, so I can give us such a far place, so that I can walk more and move my muscles?"

Standing on the ridge of her own dry land, Yang Ruoqing looked around and couldn't help but tease.

Sun looked at the dry land in front of him and shook his head secretly.

This half acre of dry land, at the foot of this mountain, used to be a wasteland.

Lao Yang's family used to grow cotton, but there was a drought, and the harvest was not good. Later, they switched to soybeans, peanuts and sesame seeds, and perhaps because of the quality of the soil, the harvest has not been as good as that of the dry land at the foot of the mountain.

"Qing'er, Sensei complained, it's better for your milk to give us this place, it's better than not allocating, let's take care of it, we can still collect something!"

Sun smiled at Yang Ruoqing, took out the radish vegetable seeds and pumpkin seeds borrowed from the Osmanthus family, and put them aside.

Yang Ruoqing nodded in agreement, what she said is right, something is better than nothing. As long as you are diligent and willing to study, even if it is just a piece of wasteland, it can play its due value!

"Mother, then let's start leveling the ground!"

Yang Ruoqing took her smaller hoe, stood on the ridge and summed it up with Sun, and the mother and daughter went down to the ground with the hoe and began to turn it up.

In her previous life, she was an agent, but Yang Ruoqing was no stranger to farm work.

Why?

For a period of time, in order to carry out the task, she lurked into a farmhouse in the branch of Dabie Mountain, stayed there for more than half a year, and learned a lot of survival skills of the villagers.

Ploughing the fields and planting seedlings and vegetables are not difficult for her.

At this moment, the hoe turned the soil under its feet, making a crisp rustling sound, just like the sound of a blade cutting on a crisp yam tablet, which was particularly pleasant to the ear.

Hoe-by-hoe after hoe dug down, turning out the reddish soil underground. The soil here is very loose, slightly acidic, sandy soil, planting some drought-tolerant crops, corn, peanuts, sweet potatoes, potatoes or something, it is still a good choice!

Yang Ruoqing waved a hoe to level the land, and fantasized about the joy of a bumper harvest in her mind.

"Qing'er, take a break when you're tired, drink tea and moisten your throat!"

Over there, Sun Shi was holding a hoe, raised his hand to wipe the hot sweat on his forehead, and said with a smile to Yang Ruoqing here.

"Mother, I'm not tired, thinking that this winter, we can eat our own watery radishes, and we have endless energy all over our body!" Yang Ruoqing raised her head and said with a smile.

Sun nodded, and a heartfelt smile appeared in her eyes, and she and her daughter thought of it.

"Girl, let's work hard, level the ground before noon, and plant radish seeds. After a while, the radish vegetables will grow, and our family will have our own vegetable plot. ”

"Hmm!" Yang Ruoqing nodded heavily, no matter whether it was the watery radish or the green radish leaves, the farmhouse delicacy made was enough to make her salivate just thinking about it.

The momentum of wielding the hoe is also more sufficient!

When the land is almost leveled, it is time to start planting seeds in the little nests that have been leveled.

"Qing'er, mother, bring some seeds, you can follow behind and water it!" Sun commanded.

"Okay!" Yang Ruoqing responded happily and followed behind Sun, and the mother and daughter were busy in an orderly manner.

Sun bent down and dotted two to four radish seeds into each small soil nest, and Yang Ruoqing poured some water on the soil nest, and then gently covered it with a thin layer of sand.

Then the mother and daughter concocted the pumpkin seeds and planted them next to the ridge.

If the pumpkin is planted in your yard or on the wall, then you must be prepared to build a scaffold.

But here, next to this wasteland, there is a forest, and when the pumpkin seedlings grow, the roots and vines will grow freely against the ground.

"Qing'er, the rest of the sweeping work, my mother will do it, you go to sit on the grass over there and rest." Sun said to Yang Ruoqing while covering the soil.

Yang Ruoqing looked at the busy work, smiled and said "eh", jumped up the ridge, and sat on the grass over there to rest.

As soon as her ass sat down, her palms subconsciously propped up on the grass beside her, and she was suddenly pricked by something, which made her gasp in pain.

When I looked down, it was a tuft of nettle grass.

The edge of the palm was scratched by the spikes of the nettle grass epidermis, and a few points of blood oozed out of the broken skin, which was painful, numb and itchy, as if it had been bitten by ants, and there were some dots of thorns stuck in the skin.

Yang Ruoqing buried her head and pulled out the tiny barbs that were stuck in the skin one by one, and over there, Sun came over after finishing his work, and said when he saw this: "In this wood, these biting grasses grow old, and it is better to have seeds in autumn this time, and they will rest in the spring and summer, in the ridges and forests at the edge of the fields, there are clusters, and pigs, cattle and sheep dare not touch them!" ”

Yang Ruoqing listened carefully, and her mind turned.

I'm afraid the villagers here don't know the benefits of this nettle grass, right? Although this grass people, it is like the cactus, and the nettle grass in spring and summer tastes bad, and pigs, cattle and sheep are too lazy to take care of it.

However, when it comes to autumn, the nettle grass begins to bear seeds, the sour hemp taste fades, picks and chops and stirs in the wheat bran and rice husk bran to feed the pigs, but it is the most nutritious feed!

In less than two months, the pig will be shiny, fat and strong!

Thinking of this, Yang Ruoqing suddenly had an idea, stood up and said to Sun: "Mother, I plan to go to the forest over there to pick some leaves of biting grass!" ”

Sun thought he had heard it wrong, and he was confused: "That thing pigs don't eat it, and people can't enter it, Qing'er, what are you going to do?" ”

"Mother, I won't tell you for the time being, and you'll know later!" Yang Ruoqing deliberately sold a pass, she knew that even if she explained it now, the Sun family might not believe it.

After all, the original owner of this body used to be a fool who couldn't take care of himself in life!

"Okay, that mother will accompany you to the forest, it just so happens that I will also gather some loose hair and take it home, you are not allowed to go inside, let's just look for it at the entrance of the forest!"

Sun advised, taking Yang Ruoqing's move as a child's playful nature, and didn't pay much attention to it.

The two of them summed up and went into the woods.

This forest is the forest where Yang Ruoqing came out to look for wild vegetables yesterday, but it is the other side of the forest.

After entering, she found that what Sun said was true, and the clusters here were ripe nettle grass. Sun's loose hair, Yang Ruoqing picked nettle grass, and after a while, he filled the bamboo basket he brought. I also picked some edible wild vegetables!
