Chapter 172: Barren Mountain Transformation [2]
Song Xi will not force every child to come and help him with the work, after all, some patriarchal families treat boys as baby eggs.
Let them do some work, and the grandparents at home will die.
But if they did it voluntarily, they would have no reason to make trouble.
"Teacher Song Xi, I am willing." Several students who were close to Song Xi raised their hands as soon as Song Xi's voice fell.
"I would too."
"I do."
One by one, the students raised their hands in the air, and some of the younger ones even stood up and raised their hands.
"Okay, I know, when the vegetables we grow are ready to eat, I will send them to everyone, so now everyone can go out with me!"
Song Xi led forty students from the bamboo fence behind the school to the junction of sandy land and barren mountain.
Song Xi stood on higher ground and said, "We don't need to trim the land on the mountain, we just poke a small pit with a stick and bury the seeds shallowly." ”
Song Xi first divided the barren mountains into rectangular shapes, like terraced fields, and then distributed rapeseed to everyone.
Precious vegetable seeds are given to students over the age of 10, while wild vegetable seeds are given to students under the age of 10.
Because there are almost more than 10,000 seeds of wild vegetables, even if some are wasted, it is fine, and there are not so many vegetable seeds.
Song Xi arranged for Xu Bing and Mo Jingxiang to keep an eye on everyone, so as not to let the young children make trouble, while she went to the stove house to prepare water.
She took out the watering can from the supermarket for planting flowers, filled it with water, and went over to water the ground after everyone.
Because this watering can is used to grow flowers, the impact of the water is not large, so you don't have to worry about the seeds being washed out.
In a few days, these two barren mountains will be rejuvenated.
There are also some weeds and plants on the barren mountain, but they are very sparse, Song Xi found a small sapling with small thorns when he was watering, and he was curious, so he called Xu Bing, "Xu Bing, do you know what kind of tree this is?" ”
"Teacher Song Xi, this one looks like a seedling bubble, but it looks like a wheat bubble, but these two bubbles look about the same, and they can be eaten." Xu Bing explained.
Light bulb?
That is, there are many kinds of raspberries and raspberries in March, April, raspberries, but they are all about the same, and they are all edible.
Song Xi also asked Zhou Yi to help her dig some raspberry seedlings back, and the raspberry seedlings were planted in the yard before, but then she dug some and put them in the supermarket.
Song Xi looked elsewhere and found that there were really a lot of this kind of bubble seedlings, so he said to Xu Bing, "Xu Bing, then you can help me dig this bubble seedling, is it okay?" I'll give you a penny for a tree. ”
Xu Bingleng paused, then nodded in agreement.
He knew that if he didn't collect money, it would be impossible for Song Xi to let him work, because Song Xi didn't like to owe anything to others.
"Then you should be careful to prick your hands, don't prick your hands." Song Xi handed a green lacquer gardening shovel to Xu Bing, and then went to pour spiritual spring water.
She uses these two barren mountains to grow vegetables, and naturally she doesn't want miscellaneous things to compete with vegetables for nutrients here.
After all, vegetables are more important, and besides, she doesn't want to destroy the bubble seedlings, she just wants to change to the right place!
When it was time for class, Song Xi asked everyone to go home for dinner.
The unplanted rapeseed is placed on the podium and planted in the afternoon.
And she also went home to cook, but she didn't expect Zhou Yi to come back so early today and already cook at home.
Zhou Yi saw that Song Xi's clothes had turned gray, and he was a little worried, "Daughter-in-law, what are you doing in the morning?" ”
"I didn't do anything, just take the children to the barren mountains behind to deal with some weeds, look at the terrain, and study what to plant, otherwise the two mountains are so barren there, it's really a pity to look at."
Song Xi saw that Zhou Yi was already cooking, so he didn't go to get involved.
Instead, she put the dry fried fat sausage that she had made in the supermarket last time and put it in a lard basin, which was enough for her and Zhou Yi to eat two meals.
Song Xi didn't say that he took it from the supermarket, and Zhou Yi only thought that Song Xi took it from the small garden (the top of the supermarket), so he didn't ask so much, after all, the small garden is so large, and he hasn't seen it in every corner.
The places Zhou Yi goes to every day are hemp ducks, rabbit breeding areas, flower houses and bathing tents, as for other places, he really hasn't studied them.
Since he still had to go up the mountain to plant vegetables in the afternoon, Song Xi didn't change his clothes.
She directly used an old towel to pat off the dust on her body, washed her hands and face, and went to the stove house to eat.
Song Xi and the students spent a day planting seeds in all the places that the two barren mountain people could walk, and after planting, Song Xi let everyone go home while she slowly watered the mountain.
"Teacher Song Xi."
Suddenly hearing Xu Bing's voice, Song Xi looked back and saw Xu Bing carrying a bundle of slender 'branches' walking towards this side.
If you look closely, it is all bubble seedlings with roots, but you are not sure which variety it is.
After all, white herbs, thatch berries, thornberries, raspberries, raspberries, and yellow bubbles are all poured with bubbles.
Only the leaves look like strawberries and the fruits look like white strawberries, while the others not only have similar fruits, but even the plants are difficult to distinguish.
"Xu Bing, you are so good, you helped me dig so much, thank you, I'll give you money tomorrow, okay?" Song Xi stood up, took the little sapling in Xu Bing's hand, and praised it.
She couldn't tell how many there were, so she had to wait until she went back in the evening to count them.
Students, only by praising and appreciating more, they will be more motivated to learn.
She is just an ordinary person, and she is not sure if she can let these students go to the city to live a good life in the future, but she still hopes that the children will have a better life.
Hearing the teacher say thank you to him, Xu Bing was a little embarrassed, and quietly reddened his ears, "Teacher Song Xi, then I'll go home first." ”
"Okay, be careful when you go down the mountain yourself." Song Xi put the small sapling aside, and then sprayed water, and when Xu Bing's figure was completely invisible, she put the bundle of small saplings directly into the supermarket, as for counting, she had to wait until she went home to count.
When Song Xi returned home after spraying water, he saw Zhou Yizheng and Zhou Ping weighing potato chips in the yard.
"Brother Yi, have you weighed it? How many pounds of potato chips are there? Song Xi came to the well and asked while washing his hands.
"It's two hundred and sixty pounds in total." Zhou Yi said.
Song Xi listened and nodded thoughtfully, "The proportion of forty percent is quite good, much higher than I imagined." ”
