Chapter 346: Brothers Spoil Sisters
Fortunately, the snow was moderate last winter, and there were a few timely rains in the spring, and the wheat in this field is growing well, and it will be harvested in another 20 days.
Not only did Old Man Liu star, but the rest of the village was also staring.
So Mrs. Liu grabbed a few grandsons and began to turn over the ground, preparing to plant melons.
"Da Lang, you take your brothers to tidy up the sandy ground on the east side of our vegetable garden, pick the stones inside, and plant some melons to try. Now that life is better at home, I also get some sweet melons for the children. Mrs. Liu said with a smile, she was idle anyway.
Liu Dalang saw Liu Yiyi pestering his grandmother to plant melons before, and said with a smile: "Okay, if we want to eat it, let's plant it, and my brother will turn the ground now." โ
Liu Dalang, Liu Erlang and others took shovels and hammers, and began to turn the ground little by little, picking out the small stones inside, and leveling the ground.
The big ones ploughed the ground, the small ones picked up stones, and the division of labor and cooperation did a good job.
Zhao Xiaolan took her brother and daughter-in-law to work in the vegetable garden, and in the afternoon, she had to go to the mountains to hunt pigweed.
At Liu Yiyi's insistence, Liu Dalang took his younger brother to turn over for several days, about one and a half acres, and turned over all the remaining places.
Old man Liu also specially asked others how to apply fertilizer to grow melons, and then told Liu Dalang and others that they would be made by a few grandchildren.
When Liu Dalang and others turned the ground, Liu Yiyi was not idle.
She soaked the melon seeds and cold melon seeds that Mrs. Liu had retrieved in water, and soaked them in ice bamboo spring water that could enhance her vitality.
After the seeds had absorbed water and become bulging, Liu Yiyi planted the seeds in the pre-fermented cultivation soil.
The nutrients are sufficient, the water is appropriate, and the top is covered with a layer of straw, which is the most suitable for seedlings.
Mrs. Liu was very curious when she saw Liu Yiyi, a small person, tinkering with these things in the corner of the backyard.
"Yiyi, what are you doing here?" Mrs. Liu asked, "If you have anything, just say it, let me and your mother and aunt help you do it." โ
Liu Yiyi smiled, "Grandmother, I'm raising seedlings, these cultivation soil was made with the help of grandpa, but if it is fertilized, it will definitely be able to grow strong melon seedlings." When it's bigger, let's transplant it to the field, instead of digging a hole in the ground and throwing it in. โ
Hearing this, Mrs. Liu pinched Liu Yiyi's little nose, "As far as you are smart, you are fooling around like this, your grandfather said that it makes sense, then let's do what Xiao Jiu'er said and see if it works." โ
Liu Yiyi was quite proud, "Even if it doesn't work, then try a few more times, it will always work." โ
"yes, how can you know if you don't try?" Mrs. Liu smiled and said, "It's just that the wheat will be harvested at home, so I guess I can't take care of you!" โ
Liu Yiyi chuckled and shook her head, "Grandmother, you guys are busy, the sandy soil over there has been turned over, and fertilizer has been applied, when the time comes, just dig a pit and transplant the melon seedlings into it, and my brothers and I can do it." โ
"Hehe, that's good, our family has a big deal these days, so you children should be obedient, don't make trouble." Mrs. Liu explained that fortunately, this year's grain is good, and it should be the same as last year, and there can be a good harvest.
As he was talking, Wang Yashou knocked on the door with a well-mannered man in his thirties.
Liu Hachiro went to open the door, looked up and asked, "Uncle, who are you looking for?" โ
Wang Yashou saw that it was the grandson of the dragon and phoenix fetus of Old Man Liu, and said with a smile: "Hachiro, is your grandfather at home?" โ
"Grandpa is in the field, not at home." Liu Hachiro replied, his eyes fixed on the sugar gourd in Wang Ya's hand.
Wang Yashou smiled and handed over the sugar gourd, "Hachiro, take it and eat it." โ
Although Liu Hachiro wanted to eat it very much, he still shook his head and took two steps back, "My sister said that you can't eat other people's things casually, it's rude, and she said ยทยทยทยทยทยท"
"Hehe, what else did your sister say?" Wang Ya asked with a smile, in a good mood.
Liu Hachiro replied seriously: "It is also said that bad people coax children, and they will also give candy to eat and sugar gourds, so you can't eat strangers' things!" โ
"Hehe, the kid is quite clever!" Wang Ya said in praise.
At this time, the middle-aged man on the side laughed softly: "This kid is clever, but isn't it this kid's sister who is more clever?" โ
Wang Ya was stunned for a moment and nodded, "Yes, that girl is shrewd, and she is still a lucky doll." With this kid is a twin, a dragon and a phoenix. โ
"That's rare!" The middle-aged man said with a smile.
Hearing someone talking in the front yard, Mrs. Liu had already walked out quickly, and when she saw that it was Wang Yashi, she immediately smiled and said, "It turned out to be Lord Wang, sit inside, sit inside, I'll pour tea for the two adults." โ
Wang Yashi was a little embarrassed, and said with a smile: "Aunt Liu, I'm not an adult, I'm just running errands." By the way, what about your Uncle Liu, I want to see how the wheat is growing here. โ
Mrs. Liu poured water and said, "The head of the family has been staring at the field for the past few days, and I'm afraid that something will happen." Fortunately, the weather is good, and the wheat is ripe very well. โ
After the middle-aged man drank the water, "Thank you Aunt Liu, we still have to go to the field to have a look, so don't bother." โ
"Okay, Liulang, come here, take Lord Wang to our field to find your grandfather." Mrs. Liu knew that Wang Ya had something to do, so she didn't dare to delay, so she called her seven-year-old grandson to bring Wang Ya Gong over.
Liu Liulang ran over and said with a smile: "Grandma, don't worry, I'll take someone to find my grandfather now." โ
"Leather boy, don't run around, just play by yourself." Mrs. Liu explained, "You must find your grandfather!" โ
"Got it, got it." Liu Liulang ran flat in front, jumping and running in front.
The middle-aged man in the back followed.
Liu Yiyi thought it was interesting and followed Liu Liulang to the field.
"Sixth brother, wait for me!" Liu Yiyi's sweet voice came.
Liu Liulang saw his sister coming, and hurriedly said with concern: "Xiao Jiu'er, don't fall down!" โ
Liu Yiyi was held by Liu Liulang and walked on the path together.
"Are you tired?" After walking for a while, it was almost time to reach the field, Yanagikuro asked.
Liu Yiyi shook her head again and again, "I'm not tired, I'm not tired at all!" โ
But having said that, it went very slowly.
Liu Liulang squatted in front of Liu Yiyi, turned his head and said, "Come, my brother carries you." โ
"Don't, Xiao Jiu'er can go, don't want my brother to carry it." Liu Yiyi knows that her current body, although she is a child, because she is well fed at home, she grows very round, and her weight is naturally not light.
The sixth brother is only seven years old, how can Liu Yiyi let her brother carry her?
