Chapter 220: Planting Cotton
Although Shen Qingqian remembered the construction of the brick kiln, the weather was getting colder and colder day by day, and the top priority was to get the cotton out.
The Shen family drinks the divine spring water as usual, but this water will only be passively repaired when the body is unwell, and the ability to resist cold is only so lost, adults can still hold on, but children can't.
Normally, cotton is sown in April and picked in July and August. After hearing that Shen Zhe had been sneezing when he slept at night, Shen Qingqian couldn't care so much.
The family was not worried that Shen Qingqian would go to find the raw materials to make the seasoning by himself, but the field was inseparable from a few strong laborers in the family, and after some discussion, it was finally decided to let Shen Qingxiao accompany him.
Shen Qingqian was very helpless, she really wanted to go alone! But she couldn't refuse the kindness of her family forcefully, so she had no choice but to agree first.
This morning, Wu and the others went to the field, Xiaolin and Shen Qingman stayed at home to take care of the three little ones, Shen Qingqian gave Shan Man the medicine, and after inspecting his situation, he went out with Shen Qingxiao.
"Third sister, let's look for it separately in a while, just the Shi Zhenhua and Dai Fern that I taught you to recognize before, there should be a lot of them in that area, and the two of them can pick them faster." On the way, Shen Qingqian discussed with Shen Qingxiao.
Shen Qingxiao frowned slightly, "But my mother won't let us separate."
And she didn't worry about the sixth sister going alone.
Shen Qing smiled lightly and said, "Don't worry, we won't be too far away, there will be nothing within three zhang, right?"
Anyway, when the time comes, she will see the opportunity to act, and she must "plant" the cotton seeds in her hand today.
"Okay then." Shen Qingxiao reluctantly agreed.
Today, they went to the Scorpion Ridge near the water ditch to look for materials, and they walked for about three quarters of an hour to get there.
Shen Qingqian didn't feel tired at all when he walked today because he remembered the cotton in his heart, but Shen Qingxiao originally received a lady's upbringing, and she came all the way, and she was not lightly tired.
"Third sister, you drink some water here first, I see that there are a lot of Dai ferns over there, you can pick them all when you rest, and I'll go around the area." Shen Qingqian took the opportunity to hurry up.
Although there is a "ridge" in the name, Scorpion Ridge is a large rocky and low slope landform, and only a dense forest grows on the top of the slope.
However, this place looked like a labyrinth at a glance, and Shen Qingqian gradually disappeared under Shen Qingxiao's staring gaze. Z.br>
"Sixth sister?" Shen Qingxiao didn't see anyone at a glance, and immediately raised her voice and shouted.
Shen Qingqian's voice came from afar, "Hey! Third sister, I'm here, I saw some Shi Zhenhua and broken bells, you pick the Dai Fern next to you first and then come over."
Hearing her reply, Shen Qingxiao put her mind at ease and looked around while beating her calves.
And Shen Qingqian did have the two materials she said, but she didn't care, but hurried to clear out a piece of land, uprooted the weeds on the ground, and sprayed herbicides on the ground again.
This herbicide was given by the system last night, and it is also reset, and the information shows that it does not harm the land and crops, and is only useful for weeds.
After doing this, Shen Qingqian used her small hoe to dig holes in the ground, and she couldn't care about the gaps in the land, so she dug more than thirty pits as fast as she could.
She wiped the sweat from her forehead, and before she could catch her breath, she took out the cotton seeds and threw them into the pit, and covered them with soil again.
"Sixth sister, the fern here is finished, do you still have it there?" Shen Qingxiao shouted as she walked towards Shen Qingqian.
