Zhang Xiaoxue successfully borrowed a hoe from a neighbor's house, and went to the outside of her yard wall with it on her shoulder, and took out the three apple saplings that were still leaning against the courtyard wall.

Find the location of her choice, Zhang Xiaoxue picked up the hoe and prepared to dig a pit, the ground outside the courtyard wall is a little hard, and the hoe is particularly difficult to dig up the soil, Zhang Xiaoxue thought that when her brothers used to dig a pit, they didn't feel so difficult, and when it came to doing it themselves, it felt really difficult.

Zhang Xiaoxue spent a long time digging a small pit, and there was no way to plant apple saplings, so she straightened up and rested for a while, and continued to dig the pit.

Regarding the inefficiency of her own work, Zhang Xiaoxue did not feel that she could not do it, but complained that the hoe was not easy to use, and it would be easier to use it if there was a shovel or shovel.

The scene of Zhang Xiaoxue digging a pit was seen by Zhang Zhenhu, who was counting in the shed, and he didn't know what his little niece was doing there.

"Cher, what are you digging a pit here for?"

"Oh, it's the third uncle, I got three apple saplings, I want to plant the apple saplings here, hehe, we will have a lot of apples to eat in the future." Zhang Xiaoxue explained to the third uncle with a smile.

"Give me the hoe, I'll dig it, you can't do this work, you can help me hold the sapling later." ”

Hearing Zhang Xiaoxue's explanation, Zhang Zhenhu saw the three apple saplings that Zhang Xiaoxue placed on the side of the courtyard wall, the young leaves on the apple saplings were emerald green, very fresh, and there was no digging at all, as if they had just been dug out of the soil, but the roots of the apple saplings had no soil at all, which was a bit strange.

The little niece's body, how can she do this kind of rough work, Zhang Zhenhu asked for the hoe in his niece's hand, although his legs and feet are not very good, but he is just digging a pit in a place where he does not move his legs and feet, he can still do it.

With the help of the third uncle, the three soil pits were dug quickly, Zhang Xiaoxue supported the sapling, and the third uncle filled the soil and planted the apple sapling.

After the apple saplings were planted, Zhang Zhenhu didn't say much, and took the initiative to go to the well in the courtyard, ready to fetch some water, and pour some water on the saplings, so that the apple saplings could be planted.

In the temporary warehouse of Zhang Xiaoxue's farm, there is a lot of domestic water, so it is very convenient to water the planted apple saplings, she just watered some of the domestic water for each apple sapling, and also took out the chemical fertilizer, each apple sapling was sprinkled with a spoonful of chemical fertilizer, and after taking the fertilizer back into the space ring, she clapped her hands and was ready to go back.

As soon as I walked into the yard, I met the third uncle walking out with a bucket of water, and then I remembered that I hadn't said hello to the third uncle.

"Hey, third uncle, the apple sapling has already been watered, so there is no need to go over to water it. ”

"Ahh Zhang Zhenhu was very curious, he didn't know who helped his niece to water the apple saplings so quickly when he went to the courtyard to fetch water.

"Hehe, I've already prepared the water, but it's still very fast. Zhang Xiaoxue didn't explain, she had space equipment, and she didn't know if the third uncle would continue to ask if she wouldn't.

"Oh, then, I'll bring the water back. ”

Zhang Zhenhu didn't think much about it, he thought that there was water prepared by his niece outside, but he didn't notice it.

By the way, the borrowed hoe has not been returned, so Zhang Xiaoxue took the hoe and went to the neighbor's house to return the hoe.

When I went to the neighbor's house, I saw Xiaoya holding the horseshoe cake she sent, eating it in small bites, and when she saw Zhang Xiaoxue coming, she seemed to be a little embarrassed, and the little girl called out quietly: "Aunt Xiaoxue is good." ”

"Hey, Xiaoya is so good, where is your mother?"

"Mother is cooking in the kitchen. ”

Xiaoya and her mother are indeed cooking in the kitchen, Zhang Xiaoxue and Xiaoya are talking at this time, Xiaoya and her mother are in the kitchen, they heard the sound of talking, and poked their heads out to see that it was Zhang Xiaoxue holding a hoe, and it seemed that they were here to return the hoe when they ran out.

"Lord Xueshan, you have run out of hoes, my family can't use them these days, if you want to use them, you can use them first, don't be in a hurry to return them." ”

"Sister-in-law is busy cooking, I ran out of hoes to send to you, I just planted three apple trees outside my yard, I am expected to be able to have apples to eat next year, and when the time comes, pick a few apples for your family to taste." ”

"Haha, it turns out that you borrowed a hoe to plant an apple tree, this apple tree has just been planted, it will not bear fruit in the next year, and it will not bear fruit until at least three years later, my mother's eldest brother's family planted an apple tree, and it took four years to bear fruit, and I want to eat apples and so on.

You can put the hoe against the wall, I'll take it later, I'm spreading the cake here and can't leave, today's cake is a two-way noodle cake made of white flour and cornmeal, the county lord of Xueshan will sit here for a while, and you can taste the cake when I cook it. ”

"Sister-in-law, hurry up, I won't sit, there is still something at home, I'll come back to play another day when I'm free." ”

Zhang Xiaoxue didn't go long, and leaned the hoe against the wall next to the hall, although she heard Xiao Yaniang say so, she didn't care, the apple tree she planted would definitely not bear fruit in three or four years, and she didn't want to explain more.

When Zhang Xiaoxue came back from the neighbor's house, she happened to meet Zhang's mother coming back with a load of firewood, and it turned out that Zhang's mother still went to the mountains to cut firewood.

"Mother, are you going to chop wood? are you tired? Don't go tomorrow, there are so many slaves in our family now, it's enough to let a few slaves go and chop some firewood, we don't need our own family to do this again, just rest at home."

There are five female slaves in our family, and my father named them Da Man, Erman...... Five steamed buns, two steamed buns, she knows how to cook, and in the future, she will be responsible for our family's meals, and my mother doesn't have to cook.

I now arrange for the five of them to make the clothes worn by the slaves, and after they make the clothes, I think about taking out the spinning wheel and loom and handing them over to the big man, so that in the future, our own people in the family will be able to spin the thread and weave some cloth, but we can save a lot of money to buy fabrics. ”
