In the morning, Yao Zhiqiang braved the rain to herd cattle, and in the afternoon stayed in the room to tinker with his rat trap.

He took the broken rat traps, and repaired them with pliers, there were more than a dozen of them, and the family cats were sold, and he had to put clips in the mouse-infested places, and occasionally he could scare the rats if he caught one.

Also, when the weather is sunny and spring planting, there will be more and more long-legged birds, they like to eat bean sprouts and peanut sprouts that have just emerged from the ground, they are very annoying, and when they put a clip in the ground, they will definitely be able to clip a lot of birds.

Xiao Qiulan came in to see him tinkering, and he said, "Why don't you go to do needlework?" ”

Xiao Qiulan shook her head: "I'm not interested." ”

It's nothing more than embroidering a purse, taking a sole, and making a pair of cotton shoes, she really has no interest.

Yao Zhiqiang bluffed her: "If you don't learn to do some needlework, you will be laughed at when you get to your mother-in-law's house in the future, and grandma will have an excuse to support you to go out to work." ”

Xiao Qiulan is staggering, the spring rain is continuous, the weather is cold, and she goes out to work, one is to herd cattle, and the other is to dig pig vegetables.

Both of them had to wear rain hats, wear robes, roll up their trouser legs, and be barefoot...... Gee!

She obediently took the needlework and embroidered the purse, took the purse to her brother's room, and embroidered it without a stitch.

But he kept asking his brother, in addition to vegetables, crops can be sold for money, what else can be turned into money on the mountain?

The dried krait is no longer excepted, because she has reached an agreement with her brother that no matter how valuable the krait is, it can't fight with her life.

Yao Zhiqiang shook his head, this is a big village outside the mountain, and the nearby mountains are all low Lucao Mountain, there will be no valuable medicinal materials to dig, and there will be no wild beasts, there are no treasures in spring.

After the summer, there are more children, and the children in the village will pick some honeysuckle, wild chrysanthemums, and common medicinal herbs such as Houttuynia cordata, and will use a kind of grass in the mountains to weave into brooms and sell, and also cut some firewood to dry and sell to the town, but these are time-consuming and laborious, and many people do not make much money.

Xiao Qiulan listened to the "oh", her face was still happy, and when the weather cleared, she must take Banban to the mountains for a walk, Hui eye treasure is a major skill of crossing women.

Yao Zhiqiang glanced at his sister, the magic of silver is really great, Qiuqiu has tasted the sweetness, and in a few days, she has changed from a timid and afraid little girl to a restless little money fan.

The drizzle outside the window kept falling, and in Xiao Qiulan's memory, at this time last year, the weather had become warmer, peanuts and soybeans were planted, and melons and vegetables were also buried in the ground.

Selling melon seedlings must be the first, and when most people's seeds have only germinated, they must have melon seedlings to sell.

Therefore, grandma buried the melon seeds in the vegetable field early, this damn weather, wet and cold, I am afraid it will last for seven or eight days, and the buried melon seeds will be moldy and rotten again.

Xiao Qiulan saw her brother frowning, and suddenly remembered the modern greenhouse vegetable shed, although she did not have the ability to build a greenhouse vegetable patch, but it is very simple to cultivate seeds in the greenhouse.

She briefly explained to her brother the principle of greenhouse cultivation and suggested that melon seeds should be cultivated in the house first.

Yao Zhiqiang already has an inexplicable trust in what he said to her, anyway, there are a lot of melon seeds and pepper seeds left at home.

The brothers and sisters immediately started to dig some soil under the eaves, mixed it with the grass ash taken out of the stove, and became the nutrient soil for cultivating seeds.

Take some dried banana leaves, wrap them with nutrient soil, tie them into small nutrient cups with dried straw, and put melon seeds or vegetable seeds in each nutrient cup.

Place it on the floor in the utility room and sprinkle it with water once a day.

She had seen people in her grandmother's village who used this method to grow watermelon seeds.
