Chapter Seventy-Four: Spring Things

By the end of April, the wheat seedlings in the fields turned green and began to grow wildly. The wild flowers and grasses in the fields also seemed to be crazy, arching out of the soil and blooming one after another. The fields that were originally gray and dirty are now green, dotted with red, purple, yellow and blue stars, and there is a breath of spring everywhere.

April 28 is an auspicious day of the zodiac, Yue Fu's house is lively, festive and festive, and finally married the bride into the house.

The bride's name is Lin Lu, and she is from Linhai Village. Linhai Village is not far from Xiaomiao Village, just west of Lujiabuzi and Reed Beach. Linhai Village, as the name suggests, is near the sea, and the North Xiang River and the South Xiang River both merge into one river in Linhai Village, and then flow west into the sea.

Linhai Village has two rivers because of the sea, the villagers fish and raise fish, buy seafood, and all of them are very rich, and Linhai Village has even faintly surpassed Shuanghe Village, which has the name of the richest village in recent years.

Lin Lu's family also relies on fishing and salvaging seafood as their main business, and the two brothers in the family, one of her own daughters, have a good life. Lin Lu took a fancy to Wenhe's person, Sven is reasonable, and powerful, he didn't ask for a dowry when he got married, and he is a reasonable and generous person.

It's only been two days since I came, and I talked to a few star fruit, and the relationship was extremely harmonious.

In May, after returning to her mother's door, Lin Lu could go out.

On this day, just after a spring rain, she made an appointment with star fruit to go into the mountains to pick new wild mushrooms.

Lin Lu's house is close to the sea, but there are no mountains, and picking wild mushrooms and the like are rare things in her eyes, so early this morning, I got up early, helped my mother-in-law cook, cleaned the yard, and the family ate together, cleaned up the table and washed the dishes and chopsticks, said goodbye to my mother-in-law, and immediately ran to the star fruit's house.

Mian Tao will go into the town to catch up with the market for a while, and there is not much food to eat at home recently. And because the weather is getting warmer, the sisters have no thin clothes, and now they are still wearing winter clothes, and they sweat all over their bodies when they work, so she wants to see if there are any cheaper clothes, and buy a few back.

Cherry is still worried about her yam field, the yam seedlings planted last time are basically alive, and now the dead seedlings are missing seedlings and made up for it, which was originally useless, and the ditch along the road with weeds has now become green and quiet. According to the days, today is the time to water, that is, it rained yesterday, and the water does not need to be watered, but it is still necessary to take a look. Moreover, it is said that the spring rain is sweet and will give birth to all things. In the rain yesterday, there were many small earthworm seedlings as thin as threads in the rain puddle, and many cherries were quietly caught, and now they were still in the wooden pot where yam seedlings had been cultivated, and she had to take advantage of the fact that her sisters were not at home to find an inconspicuous corner and raise them.

The earthworm thing, don't look like a weird and slick thing, but it's a good thing. The nutritional value is high, and there is basically no requirement for feeding conditions, which is much stronger than other green worms and green worms. This thing is used to feed chickens, ducks or fish, not only the egg production rate will be greatly improved, the disease will also be reduced, and if the fish eat, it will also speed up the growth of the fish, and at the same time can save bait. Nowadays, most of the bait used by farmers to raise fish is chopped weeds and mixed with cornmeal or sorghum noodles.

With so much work to do, and just when the sisters are all going out, Cherry naturally won't go with her.

Therefore, with Lin Lu, there are only star fruit, rice peaches and walnuts.

The four of them said a few words, and then they laughed and laughed with each other holding each other's arms and went out.

Not long after they went out, Mian Tao also packed her things and went to the market.

There was only one cherry left in the house, she didn't care about going to the field to see the yams, and quickly took advantage of this opportunity, took a small shovel and dug a two-foot square about ten inches away from the fish pond, and touched a small pit about one foot deep, put some corn stalks that were dried last year in the pit, finely chopped them, sprinkled a layer of corn stalks in the pit, and then spread a layer of dry manure, tired layer by layer, watered thoroughly, and then put her baby earthworm seedlings in, and covered a curtain on it, even if it was a great success.

Earthworms, this thing reproduces quickly, according to the experience of cherries, such a large pit, the earthworms produced in addition to the chickens and fish at home to eat, the rest can basically complete self-replenishment, that is to say, as long as the reasonable use, this pit can be used until autumn, there are so many earthworms in the pit.

After doing this, Cherry was relieved to lock the courtyard door and go to the field to see her yam field. Although the yard at home is quite large, the small fish pond, the hare cage plus the chicken coop and the pigsty are already full, and the sisters will not agree to ask her to dig another pit without knowing it, so this matter must be done quickly while they are not at home, and when they come back, they can only take her.

In the countryside in spring, there is no longer like a dry deep winter, and there is much to eat. For example, freshly sprouted wild mushrooms, such as newly emerged wild vegetables, and spring bamboo shoots that are born in response to the rain. It's a pity that Cherry doesn't love this very much, and he didn't have much research in his previous life, but now that he sees it, he just looks at it as a scenery.

At this time, all kinds of weeds in the field have grown, and the cherry walks in the field, holding the bamboo basket in one hand, while unhurriedly picking some wild grasses that rabbits love to eat, and putting them into the bamboo basket. After the male rabbits in the family were sold, there were still six female rabbits and one male rabbit for breeding. Since eating the fresh green grass, these guys have grown faster, and there is a faint sign of sexual maturity in the past few days, and it is estimated that they will be able to breed in a few days.

After walking around the field, I saw that the yam seedlings were growing well, and the cherries filled all the weeds in the basket before slowly going home.

When he met Liu Erzhu on the road, Cherry didn't even look at him, and directly snorted coldly past him and continued to walk forward.

Liu Erzhu stared, very incredulous: "You, you...... Grandpa Erzhu, I'......" Seeing Cherry looking up at him, he immediately changed his words: "Okay, I, I'll put up with you again!" ”

When I got home, it was already early noon, and the star fruit had already returned. A large basket of wild mushrooms was picked and placed on the small table in the hall, and the rice peaches were being selected one by one. After washing them for a while, these can be made into soup and stir-fry, and you can eat vegetarian meat at noon.

Seeing Cherry coming back, the star fruit, who was drying clothes in the yard, pointed to the pit angrily: "Sakura, did you do this?" ”

Cherry grinned: "Sister, I dug it, what's wrong?" ”

"What's the matter, what are you going to do when you're idle and digging a pit in the yard? There are enough things in our yard, I just dried my clothes and almost got into it!! As she spoke, she dried her clothes, squatted down, picked up the corner of the curtain with her little thumb, and looked inside, many red threads were tangled and twisted, and she squirmed wildly.

"Ahh She stood up in fright and jumped out two steps: "What, what." ”

"It's an earth dragon." The people of this era call the earthworm the earth dragon, and she also has to follow the local customs: "Eldest sister, this is what I raised, and I did it according to what the farm said, what's the matter, it's also decent, right?" ”

Carambola took a few steps back: "You, you, what are you doing with these disgusting things......"

"What, what a dragon ......" no one dares to provoke the usually powerful Mi Tao, who is invincible in the world, ran over at this time, shrunk behind the star fruit, and trembled a little: "Sister, you said that the pit is a earth dragon?" ”

"The earth dragon feeds the chickens." Cherry smiled evilly and stepped forward to lift the curtain: "You can still feed the fish." You see, this thing only needs a pit, and occasionally drenched in some water, but it's easy to raise!! I was satisfied to see the frightened expression on Mi Tao's face. Ha, the second sister, who has always been invincible, is afraid of earthworms.

Mi Tao twisted her face away and waved her hand: "Hurry up and fill in, hurry up and fill in, don't let me see it." ”

Star fruit also said: "Where did you learn this messy thing, this thing is raised and fed to chickens, how many meals can it be fed?" Besides, this is a ground worm, why don't you run away with the soil? You've got so much, you don't have to run to our house, you're going to clean it up quickly!! ”

"Eldest sister, this thing grows quickly, as long as the amount of feed is right, the daily raw is enough to feed every day, and it can be used forever." Hearing that both star fruit and rice peach were going to ask her to fill in the pit, Cherry became serious: "The book said that this thing, as long as there is something to lead it, it will not run around, you look at these things in the pit, it is to lead them." Besides, this thing feeds chickens and fish, not only can the chickens and fish be raised well, lay more eggs, grow more meat, and not get sick!! In addition, saving a sum of money for feed every day is not a small amount of money accumulated throughout the year. ”

Hearing Cherry say this, Carambola's face softened slightly, and said, "How much money can I save?" What she thinks now is that she can save every penny and save money to make a dowry for her sisters.

"These fish and chickens are not a few together, even if they are mixed with grass and vegetable leaves, we must be fed some hard food, right? Even if it is a penny a day, it will be more than 300 yuan a year. Cherry snapped her fingers and said the least number.

"Hey, eldest sister, you don't want to stay in this pit, do you?" Seeing the star fruit's hesitation, Mi Tao immediately jumped up and objected: "We don't need that money, let's get it quickly!" Wouldn't it cost me my life to keep this thing at home? ”

Carambola looked resolute: "Three hundred Wen!" Not a lot. If you can really lay more eggs and grow more meat, it's really cost-effective. ”

At this time, the cotton peach who happened to be in the market also came back, and happened to hear Cherry's words about saving money, and said: "I think Sakura's method is worth trying." You don't have to spend money left and right, you don't try nothing, you don't try, don't you? ”

Mi Tao was about to jump up: "You guys, you money scorpions......"
