During the Lantern Festival, there was no Lantern Festival in the town, and it was estimated that there was still a drought.

On the day of the Lantern Festival, Liu made a few shapes of flowers with noodles at home and steamed them, poured some rapeseed oil into the flower core, put a small section of the wick into it, and after lighting it, he took care of the nose, eyes and ears of the family.

Later, there was no dragon boat race on February 2, and there was never such an event in their town.

On the second day of February, before dawn, every household drew a circle in the yard with grass and wood ashes, put five grains in the middle, and pressed it with bricks and tiles.

Then there are fried beans, which also become fried beans, the main ingredient is soybeans, soak soybeans in advance, dry them, and fry them on this day, you can go to the land temple to play in your pocket.

On this day, it is not allowed to drink paste, for fear of paste, longan, and longevity; I can't comb my hair in the house yet, for fear that there will be worms on the roof; And you can't move the needle and thread in the room, for fear of hurting the dragon's eyes.

After the second day of February, spring planting begins.

Fertilization, land preparation, these jobs do not need Yue Jiuyue, she and the Liu family cultivate sweet potato seedlings at home, and wait for the Qingming Festival to start planting sweet potatoes.

Because the water in the South Lake is getting less and less, seeing that the land is about to start farming, this day is still very sunny, there is no cloudy rain at all, everyone is a little anxious, afraid that the water will not be enough at that time, so regardless of the time has not come, early start spring planting.

Yue Jiujiu did not stop Lin Chaodong from farming, but the cultivation of sweet potato seedlings takes time, and their family planted sweet potatoes using sweet potato vines left over from last year.

The same is true for other families in the village.

"Mother, our land has been planted, and the land that was opened up last year was also planted, I thought, the sweet potatoes of last year are not bad, anyway, the family has no work these days, I plan to continue to open up the wasteland, and I can be exempted from taxes for three years, do you fancy it?"

While eating, the boss discussed with Yue Jiujiu.

"I don't need to ask about these things, right, this moment is planting early, so I can be idle for a few days, and when it comes to autumn, the foot that can't be busy hits the back of the head? Do you think you'll be able to get busy then? ”

Who knows what the autumn will be like, and they don't know what she's going to do, so they're not afraid of getting sick from exhaustion?

"Then, I'll open another acre of land, and then plant corn in half of the land, and plant some soybeans and mung beans in the remaining eight points."

Lin Chaodong pondered for a while, and gave the answer after thinking about it.

Yue Jiujiu didn't comment, anyway, she wouldn't be lazy when she was still working, and she couldn't do what she had to do, as long as they had success.

The three sons began to open up the wasteland again, then fertilized the land, planted corn and beans, and then it was the Qingming Festival.

This year's Qingming Festival is destined to have no rain.

Willow and pine branches were planted on the door frames early, and the men went to worship their ancestors, and the women's lives seemed to be no different from usual, and they still did what they had to do.

At Yue Jiuyue's house, Yue Jiuyue and the Liu family were breaking the sweet potato seedlings on the sweet potatoes, one by one neatly stacked, one with about twenty seedlings, tied up with straw ropes, stacked in baskets, and waited to be sent to the county seat tomorrow to hand over to the county master.
