Growing watermelon is different from planting anything else, not just planting seeds.

Watermelons should be raised first, and after the seedlings are successfully raised, the seedlings will be transplanted in the ground.

It is most suitable to grow watermelons in sandy areas, because the high temperature is attached to the growing environment of watermelons.

The first step is to dry the seeds, leaving the watermelon seeds in the sun.

Zhao Gang listened to Tian Dani on the side, what she said, he did it, and the husband and wife quickly dried the seeds.

After two days of drying the seeds, put them in a pot and nourish them with warm water, then cover them with a wet towel, and wait for them to sprout.

"It's the first time I've seen something like this." Zhao Gang said helplessly.

Tian Dani smiled and said, "Zhao Gang, our land is going to be loosened, the seedlings of watermelons are very picky, and we want the land to be loosened."

Zhao Gang nodded: "Okay, I'll go now." ”

"Zhao Gang, you go to Captain Li to hire two people, it's fast after all." Tian Dani said.

"Good!" Zhao Gang nodded.

After Zhao Gang left, Tian Dani looked at the seeds of watermelons.

……

Zhao Gang found Captain Li and said that he wanted to hire someone, and Captain Li exploded after hearing it.

"I said Xiao Zhao, I just finished praising the two of you, you do such an unreliable thing, can you grow watermelons in the sand? You are, you listen to me, go get some soybeans, although the harvest is not as good as the good land, but there is still a harvest, and then, my uncle and my uncle and your eldest brother will help you get more grass and wood ash or something, and help you raise the land! The land is raised by people, but you can't mess around! ”

Captain Li said bitterly.

was also blamed, but this time he was blamed, and Zhao Gang felt good in his heart.

"Captain Li, don't worry, we know that it's okay to do this, so we did it, the two of us are not so rich, and we have younger brothers and sisters to raise, how can the two of us mess around!" Zhao Gang said kindly.

Captain Li frowned: "I haven't heard that watermelons can be grown in the sand, how many people have planted watermelons in good fields in order to make a fortune, but they have not succeeded, Zhao Gang, listen to what my uncle says, be down-to-earth." ”

Zhao Gang shook his head helplessly: "Uncle, don't worry, we are really 100% sure, and when we succeed, we will take the whole village to plant together." ”

Captain Li was very relieved when he heard that he was still thinking about the people in the village, no matter whether he succeeded or not, did people have this heart.

"Where did you see that watermelons can be grown in this sandy land?"

Zhao Gang also asked Tian Dani this question, and Tian Dani told him that he read it in a book, and explained it in detail.

He thought about Tian Dani's words, and then explained it carefully with Captain Li.

Captain Li was stunned after hearing this: "What do you mean, this watermelon likes sand?" ”

"Well, but it's not any sandy land, the sandy land that needs soil inside, just like the one outside our village, can't grow other crops, but watermelons definitely can't!" Zhao Gang said.

Captain Li stretched out his hand to take out the cigarette in his arms: "Then if according to what you said, the sandy land outside our village all the way to the foot of Xiaoqingshan is more than 1,000 acres, then if we all plant watermelons, the village will become rich immediately?" ”

Zhao Gang nodded: "Well, that's right!" ”

"!" Captain Li changed his face just now, and said with a dark face: "I think you are, if it was so easy to get rich, the village would have become rich a long time ago." ”

Zhao Gang was very helpless, and said to Captain Li: "Captain Li, if you don't do this, Dani and I will go to get it first, and we will do it together in our village, if it can't be done, Dani will also know how to heal, I will also hunt, and the two of us will not starve to death this year, and we will listen to you with peace of mind next year and plant soybeans." Uncle, do you think this is reasonable? ”

Captain Li frowned, and hesitation flashed in his eyes.

Seeing this, Zhao Gang said again: "Uncle, if you don't let us plant it, we can't do it, Dani seeds have been bought." ”

"Poof, what? Got all the seeds? I'll go, why didn't I see it, that mother-in-law of your family is simply a loser. "Captain Li blew up all at once.

Zhao Gang closed his eyes, and was funny in his heart, yes, a few people called Dani a loser.

Captain Li walked back and forth, his face was not good, and for a long time, he looked at Zhao Gang: "Zhao Gang, you let me help find someone, okay, I promise you." However, if you lose, you can't blame me for not advising you! “

Many people are like this, before doing things, no one can persuade them, and when they suffer a loss, they don't think about what they have done wrong, so they think about what others are wrong, so Captain Li will make it clear first.

Zhao Gang understood this mentality, so he nodded: "Uncle, don't worry." I, Zhao Gang, am not that kind of person, and whether I succeed or not is my own problem. ”

Captain Li nodded: "That's fine, when do you want to turn over the ground." ”

"Tomorrow, two yuan a day, three people, uncle, you can see it." Zhao Gang asked.

"Okay, why not!" It only costs three or five yuan a day when you go out to work, and you can have three yuan if you dance two hoes at home, why not.

"That's Uncle Xie!" Zhao Gang said.

Captain Li nodded.

Zhao Gang saw that the matter was over, turned around and left.

Captain Li watched him leave, sighed deeply, yesterday he thought that these two children had a score, and turned around and slapped him in the face. He got up and strolled to Ma's house, ready to chat with the old leader.

Who knew that Old Man Ma laughed out loud after listening to it.

"Master, what are you laughing at?"

Captain Li was brought out by Old Man Ma, so he called him master.

"I said you, just look ahead, you can make a fuss about children, that's a good child, yes, but you can follow the rules for a lifetime. I think this Tian Dani and Zhao Gang can do it! Old Man Ma said.

Captain Li frowned and sighed helplessly: "The old man said that it can be done, let's do it." ”

"You are not convinced now, why don't we make a bet, I said they can do it, you can't bet, in the end, it depends on which of the two of us is right, how about it?" Old Man Ma looked at his beloved disciple and said.

"Okay, old man, if you say so, I'll make a bet with you." Captain Li said boldly.

"Haha!" Old Man Ma smiled!

……

Zhao Gang didn't know that after he left, there would be such a play.

When he got home, he told Tian Dani that it was okay. Tian Dani was very happy to hear this. Then he pulled Zhao Gang to sit on the kang on the ground and told him the details of farming. Zhao Gang enjoyed listening to her nagging voice, so he just didn't tell her that he would plow the fields!

The next day.

Captain Li brought three people, and there were no people from the Ma family, the Li family, the Chen family, and the Fu family. Later, Captain Li explained to them that because the living conditions of these four families were very good, they could earn these two yuan a day or not. Captain Li thought that since he had such a good job, he helped the poor households in the village, and found three capable and willing people in the three poor households.

After Tian Dani and Zhao Gang listened, they couldn't help but give a thumbs up to Captain Li, this is really a good official who serves the country and the people.

"Dani, I see that you can deliver some of the lunch at noon!" Zhao Gang pulled Tian Dani and whispered.

Tian Dani thought, it's all a village, don't miss this mouthful of food, and nodded: "Okay!" ”

Zhao Gang kissed her forehead and turned to leave.

Tian Dani touched her forehead, hooked the corners of her mouth, and her heart was unusually sweet.

The sand is more difficult to plough than the fertile land, so it took seven days to plough it all well, Tian Dani will take advantage of the food delivery time every day to see the situation of ploughing, although the sand is suitable for planting watermelons, but it is not that watermelons are good to plant, on the contrary, watermelons are difficult to plant, every step must be good.

Ploughing is the most critical step, and the sandy ground for planting watermelons must be loose, and you can't use gagging or anything.

After watching it for two days, Tian Dani nodded with satisfaction, these three people are all admitted, and the land is very good.

"I'm tired!" Tian Dani came in, looked at Zhao Gang lying on the kang, and asked distressedly.

"Not tired! After ploughing the land, what should I do next? My wife. Zhao Gang asked with a smile.

"Of course, it's the seedlings." Tian Dani said with a smile.

"Do you still need someone for this?" Zhao Gang asked.

"I'll do it myself, I'm afraid I don't understand. The seedlings were injured. Tian Dani said.

"Then I'll help you!" Zhao Gang said.

"Good!" Tian Dani smiled sweetly.

Zhao Gang rubbed her head, gentle.

Watermelon seedlings can be transplanted in 7 to 8 days.

And it's already March, and the time is just right.

The next day, Tian Dani and Zhao Gang and his wife began to act, nineteen acres of land, as far as the eye can see, even if the land has been ploughed, but it is very tiring to transplant one by one.

Zhao Gang went to the river to fetch water, and he couldn't tell how many times he went back and forth in a day, and Tian Dani's waist couldn't straighten up.

Fortunately, Tian Dani was smart and thought of transplanting this piece, and it was impossible to transplant it in one day, so when cultivating seedlings, she did not cultivate them in one day, which gave him enough time.

In ten days, the transplanting of the two was completed.

During this time, both husband and wife were tired and darkened a shade. In the end, Zhao Gang not only had to follow Tian Dani's transplanting, but also complete the transplanted watering. And Tian Dani happened to transplant nineteen acres of land, if it weren't for the spiritual spring of space, she really wouldn't be able to survive.

Moreover, she also had to take advantage of Zhao Gang's inattention to put the water of the spiritual spring in Zhao Gang's bucket to increase the chances of success for the seedlings.

The people of Hongqi Village watched the couple go out early and return late, and some people laughed at them for cleaning up the sandy land, no matter how diligent they were, it was in vain. Some people can't bear it, and feel that the couple has no choice but to be diligent and harvest a lot. But sand is not something that can be harvested quickly.

When the people in Hongqi Village heard that the husband and wife planted watermelons, they were dismissive. felt that Zhao Gang and Tian Dani wanted to get rich and went crazy.

However, there is one thing that the people of Hongqi Village are very good. They don't approve of it in their hearts, they don't talk about it, they don't go to the bottom of it, they just don't pay attention to it.

For this, Zhao Gang and Tian Dani have a good impression in their hearts.
