59Reclaim the wasteland and grow crops
This land is indeed uncultivated wasteland.
When Xiao Yu and the others arrived in Xiaojia Village, the people in the village took pity on them and agreed to let them go to a place where no one had cultivated the wasteland, and they could reclaim as much as they wanted.
But at that time, Xiao Yu's father and mother were sick, Xiao Yu was in her teens, and she had to take care of her parents and younger siblings, so she had no time, and then later, Xie Yuluo married in, she didn't let it, and this land has always been so barren.
The ground is overgrown with wild grass, which is as tall as a person, but fortunately it is already yellow, but a lot of green grass has emerged on the grass on the ground, and if we continue not to cultivate this year, this batch of grass will grow as tall as a person.
Xiao Zixuan pointed to the grass in front of him that was taller than him, and said, "Sister-in-law, this is our family's land." ”
Xie Yuluo: "......"
She really wanted to take back what she had just said.
With such a tall and thick grass, just pulling the weeds will cost people their lives.
It's just that now she is a hero who is difficult to beat a penny, in order to have something to eat, no matter how hard it is, even if it is difficult to go to the sky, she has to settle this matter!
Xie Yuluo said just do it, pulled up her trouser legs, rolled up her sleeves and stepped into the ground, "Let's do it." ”
Seeing that Xie Yuluo said to do it, bent down and pulled it on the ground, and uprooted a small straw basket, Xiao Zixuan asked, "Sister-in-law, will you plant crops?" ”
Xie Yuluo turned her head and blinked her eyes and smiled: "Just try it." ”
Just kidding, she studied agriculture, and she planted dozens of crops and vegetables in the experimental field, except for reclamation, sowing, fertilizing, pest control, and maintenance, she has never done anything.
Isn't it just a piece of land, clean the grass, put some fertilizer, and then sow seeds, usually take care of it, apply fertilizer, weeding and watering, how can it not be done.
Seeing that Xie Yuluo was confident, Xiao Zixuan was also eager to try, there was no way, he admired his sister-in-law very much now. Writing a good hand, cooking a good meal, and now planting crops, it is completely beyond Xiao Zixuan's imagination, such a sister-in-law is simply a treasure.
Pulling weeds is a very tiring job, Xie Yuluo originally wanted to burn the withered grass with a fire, but seeing that this place is too close to the mountain, if it is not good, maybe it will be burned to the mountain.
Xie Yuluo could only pull it out by hand and dig it with a hoe, and after working all afternoon, she dug a ridge out.
When I dug to the other end of the ground, I saw a clear spring flowing through the hill, and a small ditch was formed next to it that could be crossed by foot, and it was also overgrown with weeds, but the water was very clear and you could see it at a glance.
Xie Yuluo bundled the weeds that could be burned, took away what could be taken away, and put those that could not be taken away in the ground, and when they were cleaned up one day, they were all burned with a fire.
It's just, what should be planted in the land? But she planted whatever she had, and she didn't pick it.
But if the family has no money, how can they buy seeds?
Xie Yuluo thought while hoeing the ground, until the sun set in the west, Xie Yuluo took the two children to wash with the clean water by the river.
The ridge is very narrow, it can only accommodate one person to go over, when she first came, Xiao Zimeng came over, but when she went back, Xie Yuluo didn't dare to let her go alone.
She washed Xiao Zimeng's hands, wiped her clean, and then squatted in front of Xiao Zimeng: "Zimeng, come up, sister-in-law will carry you back." ”
When Xiao Zixuan heard this, he hurriedly said: "Sister-in-law, you have been tired for a long time, Zimeng will leave by himself." ”
Now, he really cares about Xie Yuluo.
Xiao Zimeng also said in a milky voice: "Sister-in-law, Zimeng will go, don't carry it!" Sister-in-law is tired. ”
Xie Yuluo said with a smile: "When you walk through this ridge, you will go by yourself." Sister-in-law is afraid that you will be busy all afternoon, and you will be unstable later! ”
Zimeng is only six years old, and it will be dangerous to walk staggeringly.
Xiao Zixuan looked at the narrow ridge on the ground, yes, the ridge is too narrow, if Zimeng can't walk steadily, he will fall down......
Xiao Zimeng climbed on Xie Yuluo's back, this child seems to be heavier these days, not as good as before, his whole body is full of bones and so stubborn, Xie Yuluo carried Xiao Zimeng on his back and walked in front, Xiao Zixuan walked behind with a hoe.
From time to time, the laughter of the sister-in-law and sister came from the front, and Xiao Zixuan also laughed behind, and the smile couldn't be stopped.
Now sister-in-law, he is very happy.
Even the pace is much lighter.
Although he was tired from doing things, he was not tired at all when he heard the laughter of his sister-in-law and sister.
When they got home, Xie Yuluo brought clean hot water, and the two children washed their hands with clean water again, and the fingertips of the two children were trimmed by Xie Yuluo round and short, and there was no mud hidden in them.
After washing her hands, Xie Yuluo began to cook dinner.
The chicken feet vegetables that had just been dug up, the two children went to clean up, she scooped up a little rice, cooked some rice, and when she sat behind the stove to make a fire, Xie Yuluo suddenly had an idea.
There are still a few eggs at home, why don't you take these eggs and get some seeds on credit?
She told Xiao Zixuan about her plans, Xiao Zixuan immediately agreed, and while it was still dark, Xiao Zixuan went out with five eggs in his hand.
He went to Aunt Xiao's house with an egg, and Xiao Mingzhu was a little surprised when he saw that it was Xiao Zixuan coming: "Ah Xuan, why are you here?" ”
"Sister Mingzhu, are the fourth uncle and fourth aunt at home?" Xiao Zixuan greeted politely.
Fourth Uncle Xiao and Fourth Aunt Xiao heard the voice and walked out: "Zixuan is here?" Have you eaten? ”
Xiao Zixuan shook his head: "I haven't eaten yet, but my sister-in-law is already doing it." I'll have food when I go back! ”
Aunt Xiao turned her head to look at Xiao Mingzhu on the side, and saw that Xiao Mingzhu's face was as black as the bottom of the pot.
When Xiao Zixuan called out his sister-in-law, his face was so happy, he couldn't see the slightest fear before.
Fourth Aunt Xiao also frowned.
This dead girl, if you still think of yourself, you can't do it!
"Zixuan, is there something wrong?" Fourth Uncle Xiao didn't know what was going on with his mother-in-law and girl, so he asked Xiao Zixuan happily.
Xiao Zixuan held the egg in his hand and said, "Fourth uncle, I want to exchange eggs for some soybeans with you!" ”
"Change soybeans?" Fourth Uncle Xiao was a little surprised: "What are you doing in exchange for soybeans?" ”
"My sister-in-law wants to open up the land at the head of the family, she plans to plant some soybeans, but my family has no money to buy seeds, so I want to exchange eggs with you first, and when I have money, I will either give you money or soybeans for you!" Do you think so? Xiao Zixuan replied according to Xie Yuluo's instructions.
When Fourth Uncle Xiao heard that Xie Yuluo was going to reclaim wasteland, he was a little stunned: "In your family's land, the grass is tall, right?" Your sister-in-law is a girl's house, can you open it? ”
Xiao Zixuan nodded: "It's out, my sister-in-law has been open for a day, and she has already opened a lot, and it will take another three or four days of hard work to plant the seeds!" ”
Fourth Uncle Xiao and Fourth Aunt Xiao glanced at each other, and they all saw the stunned in each other's eyes.
