Chapter 34: Pulling people to grow watermelons
On the sand side, Li Rouer and Li Duoer had already arrived with people from five or six rooms, and the people from each room went into the field to take a look, and when they came out, their faces were very ugly.
Half of the corn seedlings in their field were pulled out by people, although it was not as heavy as the three houses, but it was also a loss!
"Fifth uncle, sixth uncle, what are you going to do next?" Li Guoer looked at the five rooms and six rooms and others who were crying and mourning, and asked.
She estimated that the situation in the fifth and sixth rooms was the same as that of the third room, there were no replanted crop seeds at all, and half of the corn seedlings in the field were pulled, so she could only suffer the loss.
Wufang Li Mingxin let out a long sigh: "Half of the crops have been pulled, and we don't have any seeds to replant, so we can only go to the town tomorrow to buy them, hoping that we will have time to replant, and then we will be able to harvest somewhat......"
Li Guo'er lowered her head, thinking about whether to divide the watermelon seeds in her hand equally among the fifth and sixth uncles.
"Fifth brother, sixth brother, Guo'er went to the town to buy more seeds yesterday, and we replanted and there are still some ...... left."
Li Mingli opened his mouth without thinking, and only realized halfway through his speech that it was Li Guoer's idea to plant watermelons, if it was planted well, everything would be easy to say, if it was like the family a few years ago, all of them were planted to death, and it would be difficult to say at that time.
Although they are brothers, they will be a family after they split up, and the younger brothers are also people with daughters-in-law, and when the time comes, they will all die, how will he explain?
Li Mingfu, who was in the eleventh room, looked at the seeds in Li Guoer's hand and tentatively spoke. "Guo'er, what seed do you have in your hand? How did it sprout! ”
A few years ago, when the family in Xiahe Village planted watermelons, Li Mingfu had seen seeds.
At this time, he felt that what Li Guo'er had in his hand was a little similar, but what he had seen was a seed that had not germinated, and what Li Guo'er had in his hand had already sprouted, so Li Mingfu was a little uncertain in his heart.
"Uncle Eleven, this is a watermelon seed, I bought it yesterday and soaked it overnight ......"
Li Guo'er didn't hide it, smiled and spread a few watermelon seeds in her hand on the palm of her hand to show Li Mingfu and others, and at the same time smiled and explained why the watermelon seeds sprouted.
When Li Mingfu and the others heard that it was watermelon seeds, their faces hesitated one by one.
A few years ago, the family in the village planted watermelons, they had all heard about it, why did the fruit of the third room also think about planting watermelons?
Li Guo'er didn't speak, she stood with a smile, this kind of child is hers, she can throw it away if she wants to, and give it to whoever she wants.
Now that she has given these uncles who are good friends with them on weekdays, whether they can grasp it or not is none of her business!
Li Mingfu tilted his head and thought about it, then smiled lightly and spoke. "Guo'er, give a little bit to Uncle Eleven like you!"
"Eleventh brother, you ......"
Li Mingli was shocked, he didn't expect the eleventh brother to be so direct.
He thought that he would be laughed at by several younger brothers, and he thought about being rejected, but the reality was so raw that his thoughts in his heart were in vain.
Li Mingfu looked at Li Mingli honestly: "Third brother, my younger brother's family has few people, and the corn in half an acre of sandy land is still at a loss. ”
What Li Mingfu said was true, there were only him and Xie's family, and two daughters in the eleventh room, and the corn harvest of less than half an acre of sandy land had no impact.
is in the same situation as Li Mingfu's family in the eleventh room, and Li Minghua in the tenth room also smiled and made his position clear.
The remaining five bedrooms, six bedrooms, and eight bedrooms, because there are many people to support at home, are a little hesitant in my heart.
Li Guoer didn't force it, just waited quietly.
From the bottom of Li Guoer's heart, she and the female dependents of the five-room, six-room, and eight-room can be regarded as sharing hardships, and she naturally hopes that the five-room, six-room, and eight-room women can also grow watermelons, but ......
As the old saying goes, the twisted melons are not sweet, and if she forces them to plant, she is afraid that it will backfire.
After a long time, Li Mingxin, who was in the fifth room, finally figured it out, gritted his teeth and said: "The third brother's family planted two acres, and my younger brother will also plant a little, but I don't know how many watermelon seeds are still in Guo'er's hand......"
Following the fifth room, the sixth and eighth rooms also expressed their attitude, expressing their willingness to plant a little to try.
When Li Guoer was talking to several uncles, she quietly took out the watermelon seeds she had put in the space before, and counted them in front of several uncles.
In addition to the watermelon seeds that Li Guoer left in the space to prepare for breeding, there are 550 watermelon seeds, according to the discussion of each room, the five rooms, the six rooms and the eight rooms each got eighty, and the ten and eleven rooms evenly distributed the remaining 210 watermelon seeds.
After distributing the watermelon seeds, everyone saw that the sun was in the sky, and it was a little spicy, so they discussed planting it again in the afternoon, and on the third room, the Yang family, with Li Hao, Li Jing and others, had already watered the watermelons planted before.
The weather is hot, the sun is strong, and the sand is permeable, Li Guoer plans to water it once a day in the morning and once in the afternoon in the future.
On the way back, Li Guoer told several uncles about the watermelons in the sand, watering them twice a day, and watering them less each time, and said that the watermelons could be watered by the women in the family.
The five rooms and six rooms have responded, and they have some confidence in planting watermelons.
When I returned to Li's house, it was morning, and Li Guoer hadn't seen her mother Yang cooking for a long time, so she went to Yang to ask.
This question made a big joke, and Yang replied to Li Guoer with a smile: "Silly boy, when the family is not busy with farming, he only eats two meals a day......
"What, two meals a day!"
Li Guoer was shocked, what was going on?
Summer is long, how can you eat two meals a day?
Li Guo'er shook Yang's hand and pleaded pitifully: "Mother, in the afternoon, my father and third brother will go to the field to build a shed, let's have three meals today, right?" ”
Yang opened his mouth and wanted to say that it would take no effort to build a shed, but when the words came to his mouth, he swallowed it raw when he met Li Guoer's hopeful eyes.
"Okay, eat three meals today......"
Yang smiled and went to cook, Li Guoer followed behind Yang, jumping up and down to learn how to start a fire and how to steam rice in an earthen stove.
Although Li Guoer stayed in the countryside for a period of time in her previous life, her grandmother did the cooking at home, and she helped pick vegetables and wash them at most.
This Li Guoer of Dayan Kingdom has not even entered the kitchen at the age of fourteen because of Zhou's slamming the door, Dafang Wang's and others' provocation......
The third room is cooking, and the fifth room, the sixth room, and the eighth room are talking about growing watermelons.
Although the five-room Su family, the six-room Zheng family, and the eight-room Du family all felt that planting watermelons was nonsense, they couldn't stand the fact that the children in the family automatically took over the watermelons and kept the watermelons at night, so they had to agree.
