Cheng Yuanxi, father and son, arrived and joined the ranks of land reclamation; There are a lot of people, and it will be almost open in the evening.

For more than three points, weeds were removed, and the soil was turned over and watered; The seedlings were placed in the open air, and they collected hoes and went home for dinner.

After eating, Cheng Yuanxi said to several nephews: "I've worked hard for you today, there are melons and fruits in the courtyard of Yiyi, and you can take some back to eat." ”

"Third uncle, is it the melon and fruit sent by the prince of Zhou?" Cheng Minglian couldn't help but move his throat, stuttered raw, and wanted to eat!

"Yes, it was sent by Zhou Shizi."

"Let's go." Cheng Mingxin was full of interest and followed them to Canghai Garden.

No one has touched the things in the yard, and how they put them when they divide them, they put them when they come.

"So much!" Cheng Zhizhi looked at the four baskets of melons and fruits, and was surprised, "This is too much." ”

Cheng Yuanxi said lightly, "It's all for you, take it back and try it." ”

The population is large, there is no way, there are many melons and fruits in one room and two baskets, but there are not many; Walnuts account for most of them, and other melons and fruits can eat a few more bites at most.

After Cheng Mingyi and the others thanked them, they generously carried their things and left.

The next day, Cheng Mingyi came to help water the ground again to make the land moist enough.

"Dad, sprinkle it with plant ash." The land is not fertile enough, and some seedlings are afraid that they will not survive, so she has to make this decision.

"Done."

Cheng Yuanxi immediately followed his family to pick up the ashes in the kitchen, and if it was not enough, he went to the family to ask for some; Of course, it's not in vain, anyone who agrees to let them take away the ashes of the grass and trees, the family sends two eggs, which can be regarded as a coming-and-going.

In the morning, the seedlings were planted in the evening to prevent them from dehydrating and dying.

There is not enough ash on the plants, and a lot of the soil is only contaminated with a thin layer; Grass ash can fertilize the ground, and sprinkling too much will burn the roots of plants, especially the rare melon and fruit seedlings they are planting now, so they have to be careful.

"That's it!"

When the last plant was planted, Mingyi clapped her hands and patted off the soil on her hands; He turned his head to look at the cousins with a smile, "Thank you, cousins, for your help." ”

If there is no spell, it will take a long time to plant three points of land; Not to mention the newly opened wasteland.

Cheng Mingyi chuckled, "What is the little cousin doing so politely?" Your brother in the lobby comes to water every morning, so you don't have to work so hard. ”

"Yes, little cousin, I'll come to help too; One bucket of water is very heavy, and if you have two buckets of water, I'm afraid you won't be able to grow long. Cheng Minglian said happily.

Mingyi: Thank you so much, you're so weird.

If he hadn't laughed like that, she would have believed it.

"Don't listen to your third cousin's nonsense, where can so many brothers let you carry water." Cheng Mingzhi squatted down and looked at his little cousin.

This kind of action is a symbol of equality for children, and it can also make children less wary of squatting people.

Don't look at the children and they are not guarded, but they don't notice it; But when an action shows that equal attention is given, even children will be closer.

"That's it, the third cousin said nonsense, I picked up so much water and didn't see it grow." Cheng Mingxin echoed.

Mingyi sighed silently, what could she say; Several cousins really treated her like a child.

"Then Yiyi, thank you cousins first."

"It should be, no thanks." Cheng Mingxin squinted with a smile, squatted beside his brother and looked at Mingyi, "Little cousin, if it is planted, do you want us to try it?" ”

Mingyi raised her eyelids to look at them, only to see them smiling, waiting for her answer, so she said.

"We can eat as much as we want from our own things."

"What I'm waiting for is your words, don't worry, we will cover the weeds, ploughing the ground, and watering this piece in the future." Cheng Minglian patted his chest happily.

Don't look at it as a trivial matter, but in the era of weeding without pesticides, we have to pull weeds inch by inch; It is also necessary to use a hoe to turn the ground a little bit, and in the case of crops, it is even more difficult to turn the ground.

A careless hoe can injure the rhizomes of crops, so ploughing the ground is not an easy task.

Watering is fine, there is a well in the yard of their large kitchen, which is the easiest task than to fetch water.

After the seedlings were planted, Mingyi came over to check the growth from time to time, she was busy observing the seedlings, and Zhou Ting was not idle in Fucheng.

Seeing that the cold winter is coming, the training in the barracks must not stop, and the more severe the cold, the more we have to guard against foreign attacks in the northwest.

The affairs of the palace are handled by Princess Zhou, and Zhou Ting takes care of the situation outside; After his body recovered, he also participated in the daily exercises, in order to improve his strength as soon as possible.

What he needs is practical training, as well as experience in battle.

Fortunately, he gathered several generals of the Northwest Army and was able to learn from them.

At the moment of the first winter snow, Mingyi suddenly realized that the northwest was different from the original place; She couldn't use her spiritual power, so she put down the ability to calculate, and lived as if she were an ordinary mortal.

Who knew that the first winter snow came, and I was caught off guard.

When I woke up, it was snow-white outside.

"It's over, it's over!"

Mingyi hurriedly ran to the field in the backyard of the yard, and when she saw the seedlings covered by the winter snow, her heart was cold.

When Cheng Mingyi and the others reacted and came to check, they were also cold.

"It's over, the fruits of a month of hard work." Cheng Minglian regretted not being at the beginning, "Why did it start snowing in the northwest so early?" There is still a month left before the New Year. ”

Cheng Mingyi also regretted, "Okay, don't think about this yet, Mingyi, do you have a way to remedy it?" ”

Remedy?

Mingyi reacted, and her first thought was a greenhouse.

However, there is no plastic sheeting in this world, and there is no way to make a greenhouse at all.

Oiled paper is okay, but oiled paper is not transparent, and it is very stuffy.

It is now impossible to move the seedlings into the house.

"I'm going to find my father and grandfather."

After Mingyi finished speaking, she turned around and ran back, running straight to the yard where her parents lived, "Daddy, are you up?" ”

"I've been up for a long time." Chen Daya came from the house, looked at her anxious face, and asked, "What are you panicking about?" Early in the morning. ”

"Mother, my seedlings are covered in snow."

"Just dig the seedlings out of the snow and cover them with branches and weeds to keep them warm."

In the past, this was what the village did, and in the days when it was too cold, everything grown in the field relied on weeds to keep warm; If you're lucky, you'll survive the frost-resistant.

"Mother is right, I'll go now." Mingyi hurriedly ran back, and saw that several cousins were already pulling the snow covering the seedlings.

A small half of the seedlings showed their heads, and they didn't freeze to death, and they weren't ripe.
