On the other side, Yang Xue on the mountain started to be busy again after breakfast, and today she was going to plant potatoes.

If you plant potatoes, it is relatively troublesome, you have to cut the potatoes into pieces according to the sprouts, and then you have to roll them in the grass ash to avoid the potatoes from being planted after planting, and then you can plant them in the ground one by one. It's easier to plant and roll ash, but it's more time-consuming to cut into pieces, and this year she wants to use a little more potatoes and sweet potatoes to make starch, and she wants to see if she can make vermicelli. In the past few years, she has not seen any vermicelli sold in the town, and she doesn't know if it has not been made or if it is just not available here. But even if she makes it, she doesn't plan to sell it, because if she doesn't make it, she may bring disaster after she makes it, after all, she has nothing now, and it is a matter of minutes for people to clean her up. If there is no such thing here, there is a reason, she doesn't dare to break something rashly.

After a day of planting potatoes, it's almost time to plant sweet potatoes, corn, soybeans and stuff. First to raise sweet potato seedlings, then to plant soybeans, after planting soybeans she rested for a few days, she wanted to go to the town to see Li Bokang, I don't know how he is in the school, it has been four or five days since he went to school, she is a little worried.

When they came to the private school, they were in class, and they went to the street for a while, bought some vegetables and snacks, and waited outside for a while to see that the time was almost up, and then returned to the private school again. I went to the kitchen to cook the lunch meal first, and then waited for Li Bokang to get out of school. When it was time to eat, Li Bokang came, and she asked Li Bokang to bring Mr. Wu some of the food she cooked, although it was not very good, but it was a little bit of their heart. Lunch was eaten by Li Bokang with her, and when she was eating, she asked him if he was used to it here, how Mr. Wu taught, whether it was difficult to learn, etc., but he said everything well, except for the two days when he first came, he was not used to it, but then they all got better, and everything else was good, and he also said that now he has met a lot of classmates in the school and gets along very well.

Knowing that everything was fine with him, although she still had a little worry in her heart, it was always better than when she didn't know anything before. After lunch, she went back, and Li Bokang still had to go to class in the afternoon, and she still had a lot of things at home. Before going home, Li Bokang also told her that she should not be too tired to do the work at home slowly, and when he was resting, he would go back to help her do it together, and her heart was quite warm after listening to it.

The next time she was busy with things in the field, the sweet potatoes that had been buried before began to emerge, and they could be transplanted in about half a month. This year, she plans to carry sweet potatoes on the slope that blooms this year by the river, and the sweet potatoes can live without picking the ground, but they may not grow as well as the land at the door, but the broken land is also quite large, more than one acre. Even if the harvest is not as good as the land at the door, the area is large, and the final harvest is definitely indispensable. And the soil on that slope is not bad, there are a lot of dead branches and leaves, but she has not raised the land, and she mainly wants to harvest starch this year, so she doesn't need too many requirements.

Also, soybeans should be planted, soybeans are still planted in the ground at the door, and they are planted for two or three points. As for soybeans, they don't need to grow too much, firstly, they don't know how to make tofu, and secondly, they can't eat so much. The main thing is to eat a few meals of fresh beans when you are young, and occasionally send bean sprouts a few times when you are old, and you don't need too many beans even if you occasionally make mixed noodles steamed buns or cakes a few times a year. Every year, it is enough to plant three or four points and harvest thirty or forty catties, and besides, she has to plant some mung beans or something, mung beans can also sprout or something.

She can find something to do every day, and there is no time in the countryside to be completely idle, just whether you are busy or not.

It was already May after planting everything in the field, and Li Bokang came back a few times during this period and helped her for two days. Now that everything had been planted, she was almost at ease, but she had other ideas as she looked at the large sweet potato patch on the riverside slope. Now the sweet potato seedlings in the field have grown very well, lying on the ground and looking at the green at a glance, she can't see the soil on the ground, looking at so many sweet potato seedlings, she feels very wasteful. There are no cows, horses, pigs or anything like that, only two or three chickens, but the chickens can't eat much, isn't it too wasteful? She just thought about buying two pigs and raising them back, in addition to eating herself, she can also rush to the town to sell them is also a way to make money, it just so happens that this year she doesn't sell vegetables and does not lose an income, if you raise pigs, you can also make up for some back, at least Li Bokang's annual tuition fee.

But if you want to raise pigs, you have to build a pig house, then you have to build another room, anyway, now she is not very busy, just enough to repair it, and by the way, the cave is also separated. Speaking of this, I forgot about it before, and now Li Bokang is getting older and older, so he has to pay attention to it.

As soon as she said that, she began to busily find the things she needed to repair the house every day, first of all, wood. This time, she still plans to repair the same house as before, just build the wooden house, but the location still needs to be considered. After thinking about it for a long time, she decided to repair it next to the thatched house, both of which have a big taste, and it is just right to repair them together and stay away from the house, plus what kind of pig manure can be fermented into fertilizer in the thatched house together.

Next, it took about a month to repair two rooms, and the one she repaired was the one she planned to keep, in case she thought about raising something in the future, she could raise it directly, and she didn't need to spend time repairing it at that time. In fact, Li Bokang still helped a lot in repairing these two rooms, mainly because of the problem of sawing planks, and she was slow and wasteful by herself, so she took advantage of her to come back from Xiu Mu and pulled him to see wood with her. Although Li Bokang has only been back for a total of three days, these three days have also helped her a lot.

Li Bokang was a little surprised when he first heard her say that she was going to raise pigs, but then he quickly accepted. In his heart, the family has almost used up the family's money because of buying land and sending him to school, and the business of selling vegetables has also been abandoned this year, so there is no financial source, and now there is some income if you raise pigs. It is said that he can still have an income every year when he buys land, and the land has always been theirs, but he has indeed been spending money on studying, and it is the kind that continues to spend money without reaping anything, and even if there is a harvest, it will be many years later. Besides, he didn't know if he was sure that he would really gain something, so he worked harder and harder to study after that, and he was even about to fall into the devil. Fortunately, Mr. Wu found out later and looked for Yang Xue, and finally eased up.

After the house was repaired, she immediately went to the town to buy a little piglet, and bought three for more than a tael of silver, originally at first she was going to buy two, but then the man who sold the piglets said that if she bought three, she would sell it to her cheaper. At that time, there were only three little piglets left, and she saw that the three were indeed very good, and thought that there were indeed many sweet potato vines at home, so she agreed to buy all three. After buying a piglet, she went to buy a big iron pot, in her impression, when her parents raised pigs, they cooked the pig food and fed it, so that the pigs were healthier and grew faster, so she went to buy a big pot again.
