Li Zhao went back on the weekend mainly to see the situation in the village, after all, he did a lot of things, and he didn't feel at ease when he went back from time to time. It's been a few years now, but who knows what could go wrong.

As for earthworm farming, I didn't pay attention to it at the beginning, after all, it can be seen that the number of earthworms is obviously increasing, so no one has noticed that there are often thieves patronizing the farm.

It was also by chance that the discovery of the earthworm keeper that rats would steal earthworms, and later observed that not only mice, but also some birds and scorpions had the habit of eating earthworms. This is also the reason why Li Zhao later put the place where the earthworms were raised on the stone ground, where the isolation could prevent small animals from stealing and eating earthworms.

This time I went back with four people, Li Zhao rode with Su Ya, and Li Xing took Wang Jun, of course, Li Zhao didn't buy another bicycle, this was Su Ya who rode it. Although he still has money in his hand, he really doesn't dare to spend it all at once, he spent more than two hundred on two watches, and Su Ya is not allowed to buy anything after buying the watch.

However, looking at the current situation, Li Xing may be going to get together with Wang Jun. They are of the same age, and it would not be a surprise if they came together. Seeing the intimate appearance of the two when they were riding, Li Zhao also smiled.

However, Li Xing's later study time may be relatively long, I don't know if it will delay this matter, after all, the starting point of studying medical secondary school is too low. In the affiliated hospital of the rolling mill, there are tens of thousands of employees in the rolling mill, plus the affiliated school, etc., and more than 100,000 people related to the rolling mill. Serving these more than 100,000 people, a series of related industries have been derived, so in the end, there are nearly 200,000 people served by the affiliated hospital.

In order to serve so many people, the doctors in the affiliated hospitals are not a false name, basically the main person in charge of each department is a bachelor's degree or above, and there are even more junior colleges, at least dozens of them. Like those who graduated from secondary schools, they can't say that there are no doctors, but they can only say very little. Li Xing's opportunity is mainly obtained by Li Zhao, and if he wants to develop later, he can basically only take the junior college exam first, and then upgrade to the bachelor's degree, the road is tortuous, and basically seven or eight years is less.

Forget it, take one step at a time, your salary is not low, you can still take care of a younger brother, if they can come together, it's a big deal to get married first, and a few years later, a few years later. The most important thing is that Wang Jun knows the roots, and his younger brother can also take a fancy to him, and his personality is also very good.

He is simple, looking at the current Su Ya, Li Zhao has a warm current in his heart, there is no materialism in this era, and the two of them are basically the objects of marriage. In Li Zhao's current situation, he can get married at any time, and Li Zhao also plans to tie the knot in a colder weather, but it is too hot and inappropriate now.

Thinking of this, Li Zhao suddenly thought that he needed to prepare some furniture, his own house, the furniture was too simple. Not only that, but the house also needs to be cleaned up, after all, when I lived in, the house was simply cleaned, and the walls fell off in many places due to moisture.

Some people may not know that the houses of this era, the so-called interior decoration, are often simply brushed with a layer of lime. And in many places in the countryside, you may not even be able to afford lime, and after the adobe house is built, another layer of mud is plastered in the house, of course, this is smoothed. We often see people on TV who use newspapers to paste the wall, in fact, the family is poor and can't afford to use lime, so they paste a layer of newspaper to decorate.

Don't think about cement, it's not something that ordinary people can get, and it's also expensive, not to mention putty powder, the production of putty powder is actually white cement and limestone powder, and ordinary people can't afford it. To decorate a house, it costs dozens of dollars, but if you add furniture, hundreds of dollars is considered less. If you have a high salary, you can go back and ask an uncle to see where there are reliable masons and carpenters, and this matter must be done quickly.

Thinking about her pocket, Li Zhao felt that Su Ya was still reliable, had she already thought of decoration and furniture? But when the time comes, you have to bring her with you, and you have to listen to her opinion on the decoration and furniture, after all, it is mainly for her to use, and her own use is limited.

Today, due to the fact that there were more people, Li Zhao and the others left earlier, leaving at eight o'clock, and it was only ten o'clock when they got home, which was relatively early. Not long after arriving home, Li Xing also came back, and he wanted to send Wang Jun back first.

But today the house is very lively, the two sisters and brother-in-law are there, and the family is a bunch of children playing games, and everyone greets each other. Li Zhao and Su Ya also shared things for the children, and fortunately they brought a lot of candy, snacks and so on, these were all prepared by Su Ya, and Li Zhao didn't ask.

I didn't come back last week, and this week my two sisters came back on purpose, and it seems that they are going to see my brother and daughter-in-law. After all, Su Ya is a person who has seen the world, how can she have stage fright, not to mention that they have all been in the base, so there is more common topic, and the last few people chatted and chatted, and suddenly found that their old sister had actually played with Su Ya when she was a child.

The reason is very simple, at that time, in order to support the troops, many women worked in various factories in the logistics, and children were brought to the factories to play or study together.

The two brothers-in-law are also talents, and they are coming to Lijia Village today, so they actually made an appointment early in the morning to catch fish. They are also ruthless people, directly plugging a section of the ditch, and then draining the water, large and small, all in one net, so there are all kinds of fish brought, large and small, a total of six or seven catties are estimated, and the two are now dealing with it together.

Li Zhao looked at this situation, he didn't care about them, and sent the meat and some other things he brought back into the kitchen, there was not much meat, and this month's quota was here, and then he went to the village to have a look.

Now is the slack period, because the crops have grown up at this time, the grass is no longer a climate, at this time the main thing is to prevent pests and diseases and see if the rain can keep up, if it can't keep up, it needs to be watered. In the case of insects, corn is relatively better, corn is mainly born of beetle, cabbage worms, etc., and people will be arranged to catch them if they are serious.

There were not many people busy in the field, and when Li Zhao came to the field, he saw some women catching insects for beans. These are mainly the larvae of a moth that feeds exclusively on leguminous plants, the larvae can grow to five or six centimeters long, the thickness of the index finger, and due to the lack of pesticides, this kind of insect is caught by hand.

If not caught in time, this huge insect can eat pieces of bean leaves and affect the harvest, so once the leaves are found to be gnawed, it is necessary to organize personnel to catch them. Of course, this is also a good thing to feed poultry, so although it is a catch, everyone does not directly kill these insects, but loads them up and takes them back to feed the chickens and ducks.

At this time, the main work of the village laborers was digging ditches and logging, followed by handling all kinds of livestock and clearing wasteland, which was much easier than a month ago. Digging ditches and logging are now all carried by Li Yu, and the people he brings are all members of his militia team. Li Zhao's father is mainly in charge of work arrangements, or takes the villagers to open up wasteland, which is mainly technical work, and these young people are mainly studying.

Walking through farmland that is already being cultivated, it used to be a place where it was cleared. Since there is no chemical fertilizer now, beans must be planted for two years after the land is cleared, otherwise the land will not be fertilized and the yield will be low. His father was also here, Li Zhao stepped forward to say hello, and he was very happy to know that he had brought Su Ya with him.

After taking a look, Li Zhao found that they were actually sowing seeds, and only after asking did he know that they were sowing alfalfa. This is a time ago Li Zhao said that when the feed is not enough, you can plant grass to feed livestock, and even chickens and other poultry and livestock, and the superiors specially sent alfalfa seeds.

Moreover, experts who came said that planting alfalfa can also fertilize the field, so they were planted by the way after clearing the wasteland. Li Zhao took a look at it and roughly estimated that during this period of farming, dozens of acres of land were reclaimed. These dozens of acres are now planted with alfalfa, but there are not many seeds, and it is estimated that ten or eight acres will be used up.

However, these pastures are absolutely enough for the time being, fifty or sixty acres of land, at least a few hundred tons of pasture grass a year, these grasses are enough to feed two hundred cattle, and now the breeding scale of Lijia Village can be expanded again. Thinking about Li Zhao, he told his father his thoughts, this depends on his arrangement, otherwise there will be a shortage of manpower, and the gains will outweigh the losses.

Father Li Zhao thought about it and felt that it was okay, but how much it could be managed, it would depend on the situation, and the expansion was not just about raising a few more cows, but also about building a cowshed, etc., there would be a series of problems that needed to be solved.
