Chapter 169: Spring Mountain Shows Green

The spring breeze is like the most wonderful magic hand in the world, blowing through the fields, through the woods, and over the mountains.

So the streams and rivers that had been dry for the winter flowed uphill, the barren grass turned green, the spring mountains turned green, and the birds sang cheerful songs again.

However, due to the strange weather last year, coupled with the snow in March, this year's spring ploughing was postponed for nearly a month.

The Kanbei side grows upland rice that grows once a year, and it doesn't start until the summer when the rain stabilizes, and the wheat in the fields can't be harvested until the beginning of summer.

Even so, spring ploughing is still an important day for the farmers.

The so-called "melon and beans before and after the valley rain", melons, fruits and beans must be planted first.

This time is also suitable for spring potato cuttings, which can be harvested after three to four months of growth.

There are also wheat stubble potatoes, which generally wait until mid-June, and when they are ripe, they will not be until October, and there are fewer people who plant them.

Most of the plants in the north are still mainly planted in spring and harvested in autumn.

After the sweet potatoes are planted, you can almost order corn again after a while, and there are still a lot of miscellaneous tasks in between.

The fields are full of people working hard, and the Hu family is no exception.

Only Ji Yu had nothing to do all day long, leading Dabao to either wander around the fields or run up the mountain.

She wanted to help the Hu family, but she was kicked out of the field by Widow Xie in less than half a day, disgusted with her for helping.

The original owner worked in the fields in the Ji family, but it was all stupid work, and he really hadn't done anything to plant anything, mainly because he was afraid that she would not do well and ruin the harvest.

The original owner did more chores in the yard of the house, such as cooking, washing, feeding pigs and chickens, and collecting firewood and mowing grass.

That's why she didn't arouse suspicion.

Ji Yu was bored, squatting on the ridge of the ground and chatting with Widow Xie.

"Aunt Xie, your family has set up stalls, why are you still tossing these? Wouldn't it be enough to plant some basic crops? ”

Widow Xie straightened up and wiped the sweat from her head.

"In the past, when my children were young, I was so busy looking for work that I didn't have time to take care of the crops.

Later, Liangzi grew up, but sweet potatoes had to be raised, cotton had to be processed with cotton seeds, and harvesting corn was also a troublesome matter, and he couldn't take care of it alone.

So over the years, apart from wheat and upland rice, nothing else has been planted in the field.

Now that we have the kung fu to serve, don't we have to be careful?

This year's wheat seedlings have also suffered a disaster, you also saw just now, the harvest is not expected, do not plant some side, how to pay taxes when the time comes? ”

Hu Liang has a different view.

"We farm every year, pay taxes every year, and are still poor every year. It's like this in good years, not to mention cheap years. We have little land, and according to me, it is better to go to the town to set up a stall for a few days in this delay. ”

Widow Xie didn't say a word, picked up a piece and threw it at him.

"Something with shallow eyelids! Setting up a stall is to make money, and that can't be guaranteed for a long time. You have to plant the land at any time, and what do you want to do if you don't plant it? Don't you also talk about a business without iron, you have only been doing business for a few days, and you are about to forget your duty! ”

Hu Liang didn't dare to say anything more, and went to work hard.

Ji Yu smiled a little embarrassed.

This is what she said, her original intention was that there is no iron-clad business, and if one does not work, it will be replaced by another.

But Widow Xie's mind can also be understood.

Zhuanghu people always believe that farming is their duty.

Even if the yellow earth passed down from generation to generation under their feet does not bring them a life of abundant food and clothing, and sometimes it is even difficult to take care of food and clothing, they still believe that the land is the most reliable wealth, and nothing can be compared to farming.

After making money from doing business, they are more inclined to use the money they earn to buy land and then continue to grow crops than to expand the business further.

"I was going to buy a calf and a plow and a rake, but it was not a matter of asking someone else to make it all day...... There is a board car at home, and I bought it for the stall, and I used to borrow it from other people's ......."

A ploughing ox is worth several strong laborers, and the use of a plough and rake can also greatly reduce labor intensity and improve labor efficiency, which is of great importance to the villagers

And metaphor.

But neither of these can be bought casually. Ask someone to borrow it, and you can't borrow it back.

If you can't borrow it, you have to rely on manpower and a few pickaxes and hoes.

Thanks to the lack of land......

Speaking of this, Widow Xie glared at Hu Liang fiercely.

It's not his new house that caused trouble!

She also wants to save money to buy back the land she sold before, and she can't count on it in a short time.

Hu Liang's head hung lower, wishing that he didn't exist.

After Widow Xie finished counting Hu Liang, she turned her head and began to count Ji Yu again.

She originally wanted to finish Ji Yu's three acres of wasteland first, and then busy her own house.

Who knew that Ji Yu said that she didn't plan to grow crops.

Widow Xie knew that she couldn't convince her, and she panicked when she thought about it.

"How can a farmer not plow? Even if the land is a little poor and refuses to grow, it cannot be left deserted forever. Be steady, don't plant sweet potatoes and corn, you can plant some sorghum peanuts, or eggplant, beans, cabbage, peppers, etc., and it will be convenient to eat vegetables when the time comes......"

Ji Yu listened

When she said this, she wanted to run, but said helplessly: "Aunt Xie, I won't let the land be barren, I just don't plan to plant crops, but I will plant something else." ”

"Then what are you going to plant, you tell me."

Widow Xie was skeptical of her words, as stupid as she had just gotten off the field, what else did she want to plant?

Ji Yu knew that her performance just now had seriously affected her credibility, so she simply gave up her explanation, leaving a sentence of "You'll know when the time comes", and without waiting for Widow Xie to ask again, she took Dabao and drove away quickly.

Widow Xie shouted several times in the back, and watched her go along the ridge in the direction of Kidnapping Mountain.

Hu Dacheng looked at the back of the two of them leaving enviously: "I also want to play ......"

Widow Xie turned around and went to twist his ears: "What are you playing!" There is a lot of and urine on the lazy donkey, and I haven't seen you move the ground for half a day! ”

Hu Dacheng pouted, reluctantly squatted down and continued to work, and did not forget to say to himself: "Alas, I envy Dabao......"

Dabao, who was envied, frowned at this time, and he didn't see how happy he was at all.

"Eh, laugh, how pretty."

Ji Yu used her unskillful hands to weave a very abstract grass ring and put it on Dabao's head.

I looked left and again, and the more I looked, the more satisfied I became.

couldn't help leaning over and rubbing his pink and moist face: "Dabao, the longer you look, the more you look like a lucky boy!" ”

In her expectant eyes, Dabao paused, and said very respectfully: "Sister, it's good-looking." ”

Ji Yu was immediately satisfied.

The grass and trees are blooming, the birds are chirping, although the earth that has been sleeping for a winter has not really woken up, but there are already many figures on the mountain.

Ji Yu pulled her beautiful brother and walked on the winding mountain path, pointing to some plants that had just emerged along the way to explain to him, and occasionally met people in the village, and familiar ones would stop to say hello.

After playing for a long time, it was almost noon, and she was about to go down the mountain when she suddenly heard someone calling her.

Ji Yu stopped and looked at the fork in the road next to her, looking a little surprised.

It was Ji Xuelan who called her.

She carried a basket in her hand, and in the basket were some bracken malan head and ground fungus, and she was carrying Sanya on her back, and the eldest girl was leading Erya to follow behind.

"You also go up the mountain......" Ji Xuelan originally wanted to ask her if she also came to pick wild vegetables and mushrooms, but when she saw her empty hands, she knew that it was not.

Ji Yu continued her words and said, "Just look around." ”

Ji Xuelan pursed her lips and smiled, and there was a brief silence between the two.

Ji Yu looked at Erya who was being pulled by the eldest girl and asked, "Is Erya better?" ”

Erya didn't shrink back this time, and nodded to her very obediently.

Ji Yu smiled: "Okay, it's good." ”

Ji Xuelan saw that she had the intention of leaving, and opened her mouth slightly cramped.

"Last time, last time, I have to thank you, otherwise Erya her, she is afraid that she will be ......"
