Chapter 55 Open up more wasteland and plant tomatoes and peppers

The next morning, Liu took Li Dabao with a basket on his back to collect wild vegetables and fruits and hunt in the forest.

Liu Paner walked around the vicinity of the river beach.

Not long after leaving, the sky was covered with dark clouds and it was raining.

Liu Pan'er covered her head with her hands and wanted to run under the tree, but she suddenly saw lightning and immediately stopped running under the tree.

You can't stand under a tree on a rainy day, you will be struck by lightning.

In such weather, it rains twice in three days, and even if she knows how to burn bricks, the bricks will be wet by the rain without good protection.

Running back from the river beach, Liu Paner had already dispelled her previous thoughts.

It is impossible to burn bricks.

She wants to make more money and buy bricks from outside.

Because the nearest town market is also forty miles away, Liu Paner guessed that the money for transporting bricks may be more expensive than the money for the bricks themselves.

Ah Rong saw that her mother was wet, so she quickly took a dry towel and handed it to her mother, "Mother, this southern weather is really strange, like a child's face, the sky was clear just now, and when she turned her face, her face turned black, and it rained." ”

Liu Pan'er wiped her head and said with a smile: "Yes, but it's raining here, and it will pass in a while." You see, the rain has stopped outside. ”

As soon as he finished saying this, the rain stopped outside and the sun came out.

Li Rong pointed to a colorful rainbow on the horizon, "Mother, that's a rainbow!" It's so beautiful. ”

Li Xiaobao and Li Nan also came over to take a look, with surprise in their eyes, "The rainbow is so beautiful." ”

It rains twice in three days in the south, but it doesn't always have a rainbow, and it's not so beautiful every time, like a curved semicircular arch bridge, dazzling and beautiful.

Liu Pan'er looked at the mountains in the distance, and she had to continue to open up the wasteland. There are so many seeds in the space, there is always something suitable for planting here.

At this time, Li Fang was about to make lunch, opened her pocket, and screamed, "Huh? Third aunt, come and take a look, the sweet potatoes and potatoes here have sprouted, can you still eat them? ”

When Liu Pan'er heard this, she immediately stood up and went over to take a look, "Sweet potatoes can still be eaten when they sprout, but potatoes can't be eaten, they are poisonous." There aren't many sweet potatoes and potatoes left, don't eat them, I'm going to open up the wasteland to grow these. ”

"Mother, you don't burn bricks to build a house?" Li Rong asked, it's okay to live in such a bamboo shed in summer, but in winter, it's not okay to live in such a bamboo shed that leaks on all sides.

Liu Pan'er smiled and explained, "It's because I didn't think it through, although there is soil here that can burn bricks, but burning bricks is too complicated." In the past three days, it has rained at both ends, and we have no place to put bricks, and when it rains, it becomes a pile of mud. So, I plan to open up wasteland, farm, hunt, and make money in various ways, and then go to buy bricks and tiles to build a house. ”

Li Rong was stunned, "Mother, are you very hard?" I'll help you. ”

Liu Pan'er shook her head and said with a smile: "It's not hard, you can help me see Anan and Xiaobao." ”

"Third aunt, Ali and I are older, we can help you clear the wasteland." Li Fang likes her current life very much now, she didn't beat and scolded, although it was hard, she was very happy.

"Okay, when your mother and Dabao come back, let's discuss clearing the wasteland." Liu Pan'er said with a smile, "I'm going to the village chief's uncle's house to borrow an iron plow now." ”

Since the land was cleared, the family had a hoe and a shovel and sickle, and those who did not pay for grain seeds and farm tools had to return the money they had bought for farm tools at that time, and all of them were recorded.

Liu Pan'er opened the bag, and there were six oil-paper bags inside, which were filled with vegetable seeds, local cold melon and beans.

The remaining few packs were taken out of the space by Liu Paner and wrapped in oiled paper. There are tomato seeds, but also melon seeds, croissant seeds, and pepper seeds.

Liu Paner was worried that the planting would not be successful, so she didn't use up every seed and left some.

Liu Paner split several semi-circular bamboo tubes, put the seeds into semi-circular bamboo tube containers, poured water and soaked them, and used them for seedling raising.

Li Fang and Li Li felt that the third aunt was powerful, so they followed the third aunt and helped to do what they could.

At lunchtime, Liu Paner went to Village Chief Li's house.

"Village chief, I want to borrow an iron plough and go further away to open up the wasteland and plant my sweet potatoes and potatoes, and I also bought some other seeds at the grocery store that day, and I want to try planting." Liu Pan'er smiled, "I'll try, auntie, do you want to plant it at home?" If you want, I'll give you some when there are seedlings. ”

Zhou Cuihua wanted it, but after all, Liu Paner bought it with money, "Then you bought it with money, and it's not good for me to take your things directly." Yuanjia and Yuanjia's daughter-in-law, you two helped to clear the wasteland, and it was not for nothing that you were taken. ”

"Mother, I still have to follow my father to measure the ground!" Li Yuanjia put down his job and said in a sneer, this is a major event in the village, how can he not participate?

After hearing this, Yuanjia's daughter-in-law hurriedly said, "Yuanjia is busy, I'm free, I'll help." ”

"Yuanjia went to measure the land with his father, his mother watched the children at home, everyone else followed, I will go too, let's also open up the wasteland, farm the land and grow vegetables. Other people don't have iron plows, we do, and if we don't open up the wasteland now, will we wait for others to have an iron plow and then open up the wasteland? Zhou Cuihua said that if you want to live a good life, you must be diligent.

Liu Pan'er couldn't wait for the village chief's family to continue to open up the wasteland, and nodded, "Okay, then let's go after dinner." ”

After eating a good meal, Liu Paner drove the old cattle at home and went farther away to open up the wasteland.

When I met people in the village on the way, Grandma Li San's small eyes stared at her and asked, "Yuanqing's family has been cleared, where are you going?" ”

Liu Pan'er smiled, "I can't be idle, go to a farther place to see." I used the money I had left to buy some seeds and try planting them. ”

"Oh, Yuanqing's family, you are still young and don't know much, how can it be so easy to grow these new things?" Grandma Li San sighed, "Look at your skinny, you have such idle time, it's better to rest!" Ali and Ah Fang are still young, you are an aunt, you can't be a child. ”

When Liu Pan'er heard this, she was quite speechless, which eye did this Li San's grandmother see her struggling with her niece?

Li Fang retorted crisply, "Third grandma, my third aunt didn't try to trouble us, but it was good to us." Don't sow discord, my milk isn't here. ”

When Grandma Li San heard this, she was like a mouse that had been hit by a stone, and her triangular eyes were upside down, "You girl, don't you understand good words?" I'm good for you. Your third aunt, don't let your own children work, take you to open up the wasteland, it's really so easy to open up the wasteland! ”

Li Fang wanted to say more, but was pulled away by Li Li, "Don't delay time, if you don't say a word, we can open up more land." ”

At this time, Zhou Cuihua came, smiled and said to Grandma Li San: "This child, you have to work hard to be filial." The third grandmother, your grandson, is like a baby bump, how can you expect it in the future? ”

Grandma Li San was not happy, and said strongly, "My grandson is still young, and now he is working hard, and he is tired and not tall." ”
