Before and after the Qingming Festival, planting melons and beans is talking about this time.

This year's Qingming Festival is the eighth day of the first month of March, and the Ding family began to be busy planting things as soon as they entered March.

Planting corn is not difficult, Wang can also follow to help, this time of the world, seeing that the family is busy in the field, she can't stay at home for a long time.

Children can also do it by planting corn, and it is still possible to do it by throwing a seed or something, so this can be regarded as a family dispatch, and even Xin'er was taken to the mountain.

Xin'er has been seven months old, and she can already call people vaguely.

Speaking of shouting people, the Wang family is not less jealous, because the first thing we shouted in our hearts was Dad, although it was vague, but we could understand it.

You must know that Xin'er has been born for so long, and Wang is the one who takes her the most, but she is the first to call her father, thinking about Wang's heart.

Ding Dashan in the front, a wood, and Erlin dug a pit, and in the middle, the Wang family had sincerity, faith and righteousness, and the four people lost seeds, and the Zheng family and the Zhang family covered the soil in the back, and the family proceeded in an orderly manner.

Later, the Zheng and Zhang families had another job in addition to covering the soil, that is, while covering the soil, they would drop a few pumpkin seeds and green bean seeds in a suitable place.

In this way, when the pumpkin is eaten, there will be pumpkins to eat, and the pumpkins of the Ding family will almost come out of here every year.

During the period of corn planting, the Ding family made lunch on the mountain, a clay pot, an iron pot, a bucket, and a few bowls, which they carried on their backs in the morning and came back in the afternoon.

Firewood is readily available on the mountain, and if you have a stove, you can dig a pit or a few stones for a base, which is very simple.

Moreover, there is natural and clean water in the mountains, and there is no need to carry water up from home, which is really convenient.

In addition, the weather is also good now, and it is very pleasant to sit together as a family under the trees on the mountain.

Planting corn is actually very fast, especially when this kind of land has been dug well and there are many people, and the division of labor is clear, it is also possible to plant two or three acres a day.

The corn is planted, just waiting for it to sprout.

Okay, the weather was good this year, and there were two rains within a few days of the corn planting, which is a good thing for the newly planted corn.

After the corn is planted, you have to plant vegetables, and there are many Ding families, and there are many kinds of vegetables, and there are pigs to eat, so every year the Ding family will plant a lot of vegetables.

This year, Zheng is going to plant more vegetables, such as small cabbage and small green vegetables, and green beans and cowpeas.

In addition, eggplant, cucumber, loofah, pepper, potato, taro and sweet potato have to be planted.

Speaking of potatoes and taro, sometimes it is also a staple food in the Ding family, and both of these must be varied.

The Ding family has three vegetable plots, the big one has three or four points, the small one has one point, and the one piece is seven or eight cents.

In addition to this, there are also some corners around the house.

Eggplant, cucumber, pepper, and sweet potato all need to be seedled, and there is no hurry, but green beans and potatoes can be planted directly.

The vegetables are almost planted, and the family can finally take a breath.

At the beginning of April, the seedlings in the field have been raised for more than a month, and they are almost grown, and it is time to prepare for transplanting.

The Ding family doesn't have many animals, and naturally there is not a lot of manure, but in order to make the rice grow better, Ding Dashan still picks some manure from the field every year and pours it in.

When the manure water is poured in, the seedling door is closed, and the water in the field is blocked to prevent the loss of fertilizer.

Just raise it for a few days and then you can plant seedlings.

The whole family was pulling seedlings in the outer seedling field, and one by one they were tied up with last year's straw, which was selected a few days ago.

After pulling almost 100 of them, I began to move the seedlings into the field, and threw them into the field one by one, and each field was thrown according to the size of the field, which was almost enough to plant.

After that, the two of them were left to pull the seedlings in the field, and the rest of the people went to the field to plant the divided seedlings into the field one by one.

It took three days to plant rice in Ding's house, and everyone was tired, especially the waist, and the whole waist seemed to be wasted after three days.

After planting the seedlings, the Zheng family and their women did not stay idle, and each carried a bucket of ashes and a small bag of soybeans left by the fire to the ridge to get some beans.

Every year, the Ding family will plant some soybeans and some cowpeas on the ridges, especially soybeans, and cowpeas are only occasionally planted.

And the father and son of the Ding family are not idle, these days, the farm tools have also been damaged, and those that should be repaired have to be repaired, and those that cannot be repaired by themselves will be taken to the town for repair.

From the beginning of spring to the beginning of summer, the Ding family has not rested much.

Life in the village is like this, there is no idle time for spring planting and autumn harvest.

No, after finally finishing all the work, Zheng found a job to do again.

This year, Zheng bought four piglets, and spent a lot of money last year, thinking that she could make more money by raising two more pigs this year and selling them for the New Year.

Moreover, the pigsty at home is also empty, so it is tiring to raise two more pigs.

In this way, the pigs alone ate a lot, and the two pigs were fine before, but now the vegetable plot at the home of the four pigs is somewhat insufficient.

Zheng said that he would open another acre of land to plant sweet potatoes, and then there would be pigs to feed.

The Ding family continued to be busy clearing the wasteland.

Clearing the wasteland is a very troublesome thing, and the stones, trees, roots, grass and trees have to be cleaned up, and it took half a month for the five members of the Ding family to spend more than one acre of land.

In this small half a month, while opening the land, they also sorted out the land for planting sweet potatoes one by one, and then planted it directly.

Buried under the ridges are shoveled grass and trees, which can be used as fertilizer when they decay, which is a double win.

It is very fast to clean up the land and plant it again, cut the sweet potato vines that have grown before from home, divide them into two or three knots, and cut them directly into cuttings, and you can plant them in one day.

Now, the things that should be planted are almost finished, and it is finally time to rest.

But then something else happened.

When the corn has grown, the grass in the field has grown, and it is necessary to weed and apply the first fertilizer to the corn.

The Ding family doesn't have so much fertilizer, so every year they shovel the grass in the field to the bottom of those bad corn seedlings and cover them with soil, and wait for them to rot to make fertilizer.

"Mother, I think some of the green beans in the field are edible, or I'll pick them back and cook them at night."

In the summer, the grass in the field is the same every day, and every day the women of the family have to go to the field to pull the grass, so that they will not rob the fertility of the vegetables.

"Okay, you can pick it, you can pick it, you can eat enough of this cabbage and greens, it's good to change the taste."

Indeed, the most eaten cabbage so far this year is cabbage, since the cabbage sprinkled at home has grown up, I have basically eaten cabbage every day, and the other dishes are not ripe.

"Okay, then I'll pick them up later."

Since the green beans first cooked, other dishes have also begun to cook, and I can't eat them for a while.

But it doesn't matter, the green beans and cowpeas and eggplant can be dried if you can't finish eating, and the tender green beans and cowpeas can also be used to make kimchi, and they taste good when fried and eaten.
