Chapter 61: Fertile Land
After returning from the crossing, there was no TV, computer, mobile phone network, every day when it was dark, there were no candles and oil lamps in the house, and it was difficult to do anything, so Mu Xiu quickly developed a good habit of going to bed early and getting up early.
Xiaohua is only more than two months now, and she has to eat milk several times at night, and she has to change diapers, Zhou Shuilian is tossed, and she can't sleep well every day.
"At this age, raising children is difficult, a few years ago, I took you alone, and you can still work in the field." Zhou Shuilian came out of the kitchen and saw that Mu Xiu had also gotten up, she held her waist with one hand, beat her back with the other, and said with a smile.
It turned out that after she gave Xiaohua the last feeding, she saw that it was almost dawn, so she got up to cook first.
It's said to be cooking, but it's still wheat bran porridge, and now it's the only one that can be eaten.
"Mother, those white noodles are for you to eat, so don't eat this with us." Mu Xiu saw the wheat bran porridge and said to Zhou Shuilian with some dissatisfaction.
"Didn't you eat it last night, you are still young, you must know that this good thing must be eaten slowly, you can't eat it all at once, and you can live a good life by flowing a long time." Zhou Shuilian seriously educated Mu Xiu.
Mu Xiu didn't go to preach Zhou Shuilian, now there is white noodles at home, Zhou Shuilian is naturally reluctant, and in the future, when the white flour and rice can't be eaten at all, Zhou Shuilian will naturally be reluctant, otherwise even if she says it now, Zhou Shuilian will still treat that little white noodles as a treasure and is reluctant to eat it.....
A simple breakfast, which was quickly finished.
"Xiu, you are watching Xiaohua at home, and your father and I went to the field." Zhou Shuilian entered the house and looked at the sleeping little flower, and came out and said to Mu Xiu.
"Mother, you watch my sister at home, I'll go with my father." Mu Xiu wiped his mouth and stood up.
"I'll go, you see how thin you've been during this time." Zhou Shuilian said with some distress.
Although Mu Xiu has lost a lot of weight, she has not eaten less, and she can eat a lot of all kinds of food, fruits, and milk in the space.
Although he eats a lot, Mu Xiu also moves a lot, so under the condition of keeping up with nutrition, Mu Xiu's body has not only gained weight, but has become a lot stronger, and the whole person looks very energetic.
On the contrary, Zhou Shuilian, who works during the day and takes care of the children at night, is so thin that it is worrying, as if it will blow down when the wind blows.
"It's okay, didn't Dad say it, it's just an acre of land, and it's fast to do, if Xiaohua wakes up and wants to feed, I can't help it."
"Xiu is right, I will take care of the work in the field, I will not tire the child, you can sleep again when you enter the house." Mu Shui also spoke.
"That's okay, when Xiaohua wakes up later, I'll carry her to the field."
Mu Shui and Mu Xiu took farm tools and walked to the back room one after the other, and after walking about 100 meters, they arrived at the land that was given to them by the family.
Mu Shui waited until after this land, only to know that he was still too hasty, this land used to be unable to grow crops, he remembered that when he came to see this land, this land was not as bad as it is now, and some things really can't be said too early......
No wonder Liu Qimei agreed to give the land so readily, and it is not an exaggeration to say that this land is the worst farmland in the whole village......
Mu Xiu, who was standing behind Mu Shui, also frowned, and she carefully looked at the color of the soil.
I saw that the soil has black, black, yellow, white, blue and other colors, and the common ones on weekdays are basically yellow and white clay and yellow and black soil.
The best soil for growing crops is the kind of soil with red in black and black in red, which is the most fertile soil.
Mu Xiu squatted down, grabbed a handful of soil, and looked below, only the surface layer had a layer of soil, and the soil below was very loose, as soon as he knocked a hole and slid down with a wooden stick, a crack appeared, which was a standard "biting iron soil", which was quite laborious to cultivate, and such soil was very poor.
Looking at the weeds in the field, the soil where red head sauce, goose hair grass, and camellia grass grows is fertile, and the soil where cow hair grass and duck tongue grass grow are lean soil.
Looking at the cow hair grass that appeared a few meters away, Mu Xiu was really speechless, didn't the village know about such a place? Can you also let farming?
However, after thinking about it, it is impossible for every household in the village to divide the land into good land, it must be good land mixed with poor land and distributed together, it seems that the Mu family has been allocated this poor land, so Liu Yimei agreed to give Mu water land so easily.
This piece of land, let alone growing food, even if it is growing vegetables, it may not be able to grow well.
"Let's go, go and see the half acre of land rented." Mu Shui sighed and walked forward.
Mu Xiu followed behind, she was not worried at all, this was really just a small problem for her, even if the land was barren, she could make it fertile.
Lao Suntou's land soon arrived, this half acre of land, it is normal, although the soil quality is not very good, but it is also as yellow as most land.
If it is planted according to normal cultivation, one acre of land is more than 300 catties, and if it is fertile soil and served well, it is more than 400 catties of output. This half acre of land is the highest yield of more than 200 catties.
However, looking at this situation, it is a bit difficult to weigh more than 100 catties.
"Dad, you see that the fields next to us have been sown." Mu Xiu pointed to the responsible fields in this row and said.
"Xiu, let's not delay, first pick up this half acre of land, and then find a way to turn back the land over there, we have to hurry up here, otherwise we will miss the crops, and it will be a year's delay." Mu Shui looked at the land that everyone else had planted, and became a little anxious.
"Okay." Mu Xiu has no opinion at all.
The two of them first cleared the debris and weeds in the field, went to fetch water from the wood, watered it until it was three minutes thorough, and then ploughed the land.
Taking advantage of Mu Shui's efforts to carry water, Mu Xiu mixed the humus and earthworm soil in the space, trotted all the way, regardless of whether it was uniform or uneven, and sprinkled it around the field first.
The land in the hometown of Muxiu Mountain is unusually barren, so there are a lot of things in the Muxiu space that buy all kinds of scientific fertile fields, especially to bring back the land to fatten the land, so as to increase the yield per mu, and take the villagers to eat first.
This is where it comes in handy.
When the wood water came back, she lifted one of the buckets of water, took advantage of the fact that the wood water was not paying attention, poured urea into the water in proportion, and began to pick up the spoon made of gourd and sprinkle it into the ground one by one, and after pouring about 10 buckets of water, the land became softer and softer, and then began to plow the land.
Careful tillage and fertilization of the land before sowing improves soil fertility and, through ploughing, makes the soil permeable and loose. After ploughing, it is necessary to carry out fine, break the large clods in the soil, and then level and steadfast, so that the soil is loose and solid, so that water can be stored and protected, which is conducive to the growth of wheat.
