201: Lotus root
Next, after a while, Xin'er planted some lotus seeds that Feng Yu'an brought to her later in the fish pond in front of the door, and she wanted to see if they could grow.
She lost half of the lotus seeds brought by Feng Yuan in the fish pond, and she put away the remaining half, this time is not a little time to plant, she is afraid of wasting it, and she wants to wait for next spring to plant again.
Two months have passed, and the lotus seeds planted in the fish pond have not grown leaves, and she is a little disappointed, she thinks that there should be no play, this is autumn, and it should not grow.
The autumn wind is bleak, the cold wind is cold, autumn goes to winter, the late winter and spring solstice, and the last few lotus seeds are also sprinkled in the heart, looking forward to its rooting and germination.
Last year, the income of the Ding family was not bad, and the peanuts planted on half an acre of land could be regarded as a bumper harvest.
The ducks in the family have also grown up, and the ducks that were originally fist-sized are now two or three catties in size, and they have all begun to lay eggs, so far, Xin'er has picked up two or three.
As for the chickens at home, not to mention, they have already grown up to lay eggs, and because of the careful feeding of the brothers and sisters, the frequency of laying eggs is a little faster than that of ordinary chickens, and they are larger.
In the summer, there are a lot of locusts, and they will catch a lot of locusts every day and feed them, and if they don't work hard, they will really waste the time they spend for them.
March
"Well, here's for you."
Feng Yu'an handed Xin'er a sack with things.
"What's that?"
Xin'er asked suspiciously as she took the thing.
When she opened the sack, she was a little surprised, it contained lotus roots, no, to be precise, it should be lotus root sprouts.
Now, she didn't need him to answer her to know what it meant.
"Plant it for you, you didn't plant those lotus seeds, then plant this, this should be able to grow."
Feng Yu'an said casually, but Xin'er felt that this love was very heavy.
"Where did you come from?"
"My friend gave it, what's wrong?"
"It's fine, just asking."
"Well, while it's still early, you should plant them sooner."
"yes, okay."
……
The two were silent for a while, and then Xin'er asked again: "I heard my aunt say that you are going to prepare for the exam, right?" ”
"My mother, she told you?"
Listening to her words, Feng Yu'an was a little unhappy.
"Well, I casually mentioned it, did you get admitted to the Tongsheng this time?"
Xin'er was most curious about this question, and she felt that the gap between the two of them seemed to be getting bigger and bigger.
"No, it's just a test in the school, if you pass it, you can only take the county test, and if the county tries it, you can only count it as a child, so it's still early."
Feng Yu'an knew that she didn't know what was going on very well, so he explained it to her.
"I see, but I'm sure you can, you're so smart and working so hard, I don't think it's strange if you can't pass the test."
Xin'er is very confident in Feng Yu'an, he is the smartest person she has ever seen, he has worked so hard in the past two years, since Mr. has proposed that he take the exam at such a young age, then he must be very good in the academy, you know, he is only thirteen this year!
"Do you have that confidence in me?"
Feng Yu'an was very happy about her trust, and looked at her and said with a smile on his face.
"Of course."
"Then I'll borrow your good words."
"Well, you can, I believe you."
"By the way, when are you going to take the exam? I'll give you something to celebrate. ”
Xin'er asked again.
"Which are you talking about? There are five or six days left for the school exam, and more than half a month for the county exam. How are you going to celebrate for me? ”
After answering, Feng Yu'an asked her with a smile, but she didn't expect to get her answer.
Xin'er wasn't ready to tell him, so she said, "You'll know when you finish the exam." ”
"Okay."
"Well, if you work hard during this time, I'm sure you can do it."
After talking for a while, Feng Yu'an went back with his head held high.
As soon as Feng Yu'an left, his heart did not delay much, and immediately took out the lotus root sprouts he brought and put them in the ditch on the edge of the fish pond in front of the door.
There was a little water in the gutter, but not much, and the lotus root buds could be moisturized by putting them in it for the time being, but it was too late at this time, and she would plant them tomorrow.
It's been a year, and the matter of planting lotus root is also known, but he doesn't have much confidence in it, if the lotus root is really so good, the price will not always be so high, and the lotus seeds planted by Xin'er before have not germinated, he is even less confident.
However, he won't just hit his sister's confidence, anyway, she hasn't done anything excessive so far, and he will support him if he can.
Therefore, the next day, after breakfast, the two of them took the lotus root sprouts that Feng Yu'an brought yesterday to the fish pond, and also released all the water in the fish pond, leaving only the depth of the bottom of the pond that was less than knee deep.
After this release of water, the two of them found a fright, some young shoots that did not look like grass grew in the soil at the bottom of the fish pond, and the young shoots were not deep, so they unearthed about an inch, and the leaves rolled up at the upper end of the young shoots were much larger than ordinary leaves.
The two had never seen the leaves of the lotus root, but at this time, the two looked at each other and thought that this was the lotus leaf.
Now I am a little entangled, do I want to plant these lotus root buds, those lotus seeds she basically sprinkled the entire fish pond, now that they have sprouted, will they plant lotus root buds too densely.
In the end, they still planted those lotus root buds, after all, no one can guarantee that those young shoots will definitely grow from the lotus seeds that have been sown, nor can they guarantee that all the lotus seeds will sprout, since everyone has brought them, they can't waste them.
However, the distance between the two of them when planting those lotus root buds is a little far apart, I am afraid that it is too dense and not conducive to their growth.
"Sister, do you think they will grow up?" Righteousness or no faith.
"I don't know, try it, it's just a little time-consuming anyway."
Xin'er herself doesn't know, and she has no bottom in her heart.
"That's all there is to it, so should we fertilize them?"
"In that case, will the fish have an effect?"
Looking at the fish in the fish pond, which were already a little big, I hesitated, if I killed all the fish, it would be worth the loss.
"It should be fine, let's put less, otherwise they can grow without fat."
"Then put a little less?"
"I'll see it."
"Then put some."
After discussion, Youyi took a bucket to fetch half a bucket of dung water, and after adding water, he carefully poured it into the fish pond little by little.
The two were also a little worried, and they guarded the fish pond for a while, and only returned home after making sure that the fish was okay.
