Age of Rebirth: There is room for group pet peasant girls

Chapter 2 Space Reclamation

After returning home, Wu Guihua had already prepared meals, and grandpa was correcting the test papers in the bedroom.

After the food was set, Wu Guihua shouted: "Old man, it's time to eat. "

Liu Yao took her younger brother to wash her hands, then wiped them with a towel before going to the dinner table.

Grandpa put down the red pen, took off his reading glasses, rubbed his sore eyes, and walked out of the room.

Liu Yao took the initiative to fill up the rice and put it in front of everyone.

Today's food is pretty good, a plate of fried green Chinese cabbage, a small plate of scrambled eggs and a bowl of male fish soup.

The fish is caught by grandpa. In his spare time, grandpa always likes to take a fishing rod, dig a few earthworms, and fish in the river at the entrance of the village.

Scrape the scales and kill the belly of the fish, fry it in the pan for a while until both sides are slightly browned, then put it into the pan, add water and cook it slowly with a charcoal stove, add some ginger, the boiled fish soup is milky white, and then add some green onions , White, green and green are more appetizing.

The cabbage is also grown in the family's own field. Grandma has tended a vegetable field next to the house. There are Tianjin green cabbage, green beans, cauliflower and tomatoes.

Eggs are also laid by his own hens. Four hens and two roosters are raised. A fence made of bamboo is built around the vegetable field, and a simple shack is built inside to shelter the chickens from wind and rain.

There is a wooden utility room next to the chicken coop, covered with a plastic sheet, which is used to store some agricultural tools and tools.

The first thing Liu Yao and her younger brother do when they get up every day is to touch the eggs in the chicken coop. The food for the hens is very good, which consists of bran mixed with some vegetable leaves. My brother and I turn over some earthworms and vegetable worms to supplement protein for them.

It must be because they ate so well, they were all fat and strong, and they laid eggs on time every day.

Liu Yao touched the four chicken coops, and took four round and steaming eggs in her hands.

"Xiao Hua Xiao Huang Xiaomi Xiao Hei, thank you for your hard work, I will catch earthworms for you to eat later." Liu Yu said happily as he patted the heads of a few chickens.

Today's breakfast is rice porridge, two boiled eggs and a plate of preserved vegetables.

The preserved radish is also pickled by Wu Guihua herself. It is black and oily, and it is especially refreshing when served with porridge.

With eggs and preserved radish, Liu Yu picked up a bowl of porridge and went to play with her friends.

It was the weekend, and grandpa and grandma went up the mountain to weed the fruit trees.

In the beginning, whoever opened up wasteland in the village owned the land and mountains. At that time, the whole family and adults mobilized to reclaim the two mountains near the river and planted lychee trees.

Green plums and lychees are the most grown in the village. Whenever the fruits are ripe, merchants will come in to buy them, but the prices are extremely low.

It's only a few cents a catty, but rural people also know how to tend the fields, and they all take good care of the fruit trees, and they rely on these fruit trees to make a living.

However, in recent years, some young people have moved to the city to work, and they can also send some money home.

Liu Yao's parents went to the city to work, and they could send hundreds of dollars home every month. With the addition of grandpa's salary and the harvest of the orchard, Liu Yao's family was second to none in the village.

The house is a single-storey bungalow built with large stone strips dug out of the mountain.Three bedrooms, two living rooms, and one toilet.Entering the door is an open-air courtyard with a hand-operated well, where you can usually wash vegetables.

There is a bougainvillea tree planted in the corner, the vines have been strung to the same level as the roof, and the luxuriant branches block half of the sunlight in the courtyard. The tree is full of red bougainvillea flowers.

The kitchen is for the stove, which is on the right hand side of the entrance.There are two stoves, and a large pot is placed on one side, which is used for cooking.On the other side are two large aluminum pots for cooking porridge and boiling hot water.

Facing the door is the living room, where there is a set of tea tables and dining tables, where meals and guests are entertained.

There is no TV yet, and it will take a few years to buy it.Today's TVs are large in size and small in size, and they are very expensive.

There is an aisle next to the living room, the toilet is next to the aisle, and there are three rooms if you go inside.

There are stairs beside the aisle leading directly to the roof. The roof is smoothed with cement and can be used to dry rice, mountain goods, clothes and quilts.

Those lychees sold to vendors that are unqualified or fall off can be placed on top to dry them into dried lychees, and stored as snacks, which are sweet and chewy, and can be eaten for a whole year.

Liu Yao took out a hoe from the utility room and stepped into the sparrow space.

Today's task is to open up wasteland!
Plant some vegetables in the open space.

The medicine field didn't move for the time being, Liu Yao dug the ditch a little deeper, and then covered the herbs with the excavated soil.

Next to the medicine field, we started to cultivate, leaving aisles and ditches. We plan to dig a canal from the mountain spring to lead directly to the farmland.

When watering is needed, the ditches are dug, and the water can be watered along the ditches dug out of the ground.

When the water is almost released, block the canal with stones and soil.

This is a common watering method in the countryside. The village works together to dig a main ditch from the river, and the fields that need to be watered will dig bifurcated ditches by themselves.

Often when there is not enough water to pour water, they take turns to release water, and sometimes it is late at night when the water is discharged to their own homes.

It took Liu Yao two hours to reclaim [-] square meters of land.

After all, I am still young and not strong enough.

Turn over the dug up weeds and bury them in the ground for fertilizer.

Fortunately, the land is fertile enough, otherwise Liu Yao would not know where to get fertilizer.

The fertilizer used now is Yonedako, and she doesn't want the whole space to stink.

Holding the mountain spring, he drank a few sips to quench his thirst, and dug another ten square meters of land.

After drinking this mountain spring, Liu Yao felt that her physical strength has recovered a lot, it seems that this mountain spring also has the effect of relieving fatigue.

I came out again and washed the dirt on my body. I was really hungry after driving for so long.

He heated up the porridge cooked in the morning and drank another bowl.

Now that the land has been reclaimed, we have to get seeds, but the seeds at home are collected by grandma, and there are relatively few varieties.

You shouldn't be able to tell if you take a little less.

Liu Yao secretly opened the seed cabinet, and what she saw were several packets of seeds wrapped in newspaper, with the words cabbage, cabbage, cucumber, pumpkin, and tomato written in pencil.

I took some of each. Cucumber and pumpkin seeds were relatively large and relatively small in number, so I only dared to take four seeds each.

When the time comes, save some seeds for yourself.

After entering the space, Liu Yao sprinkled the seeds densely together, then covered with a thin layer of soil, and poured water.

When the seeds germinate, move them to the reclaimed fields.

This can prevent the uneven growth of vegetable seedlings after direct sowing.

Only now did Liu Yao have time to look at those sparse medicinal materials.

Most of them are common medicinal materials, but they are very old.There is only one ginseng in the middle, I don't know how old it is, I can see that this ginseng is as long as a small tree, it is almost mature, right?

It's just that there is only light in the space, and there are no insects to help pollinate, so these medicinal materials did not form seeds and grow seedlings.

It seems that I have to catch some insects to come in.

By the way, some fruit trees have to be planted, so that there will be endless fruits.

Liu Yao stepped out of the space, planning to go for a stroll outside, collect some crops and go in.

At this time, every household in the countryside had a garbage dump next to each house, dumped some household garbage, and then burned it to ashes when it was almost full, and used it to fertilize the field.

So some kitchen waste is also dumped inside, and occasionally some seeds will grow seedlings.

I walked around the village and harvested several cucumber seedlings, watermelon seedlings, and tomato seedlings.

There are also lychee seedlings, peach seedlings and green plum seedlings.

They all carry soil. In order not to damage the roots as much as possible, I dug deeper, which makes it easier to survive.

After putting the seedlings at home, I took a plastic bottle and caught a few vegetable insects and a bunch of earthworms outside to improve the soil and pollination.

Bees are relatively rare, and there is nothing domestic at this time.If you are lucky enough to meet them in the mountains, bring another nest to the space.

After entering the space, Liu Yao planted the seedlings she found and poured some water.

Then pour the caught worms on the ground, a bunch of earthworms will slowly drill into the ground and disappear, and a few worms hang on the grass.

After going out for a short while, the seeds I planted have grown seedlings.

Liu Yao was busy transplanting the seedlings to the reclaimed land again, planting one at a short distance to ensure that they would not be crowded together when they grew up.

It was finally transplanted, and my little arms were sore. After drinking a few mouthfuls of spring water, I was relieved and left the space.

When night fell, the hot air was a little bit cooler, but the house was still very hot.

After washing up, Liu Yao rolled up the straw mat and hugged the quilt to go up to the roof to enjoy the cool. She hadn't seen such a beautiful night sky for a long time.

Cloudless.

A bright moon hung in the sky, exuding a soft light.

The vast and boundless sea of ​​stars, like endless diamonds, is poured into the night.

Occasionally, a few meteors streaked across the sky, drawing a beautiful arc, so fast that it was too late for people to make a wish.

The cold moonlight and starlight fell on the distant mountains, trees, and nearby houses, as if covering them with a layer of tulle.

Even if there is no light, you can see the scenery in front of you clearly.

As the breeze blows, there is a scent of grass and earth.Accompanied by the chirping of insects, the rustling of branches, and the cries of night owls, it seems to be the most beautiful music in the world.

Isn't this feeling and this scene just like what is written in the poem, the gentle wind and the waves are scattered all over the river?

The dew in summer is not too heavy, so most people will choose to sleep on the roof, light a circle of mosquito coils, and shake the cattail fan, which is more comfortable than sleeping on the bed.

Liu Yao slowly fell asleep in the breeze and the sound of insects.
