Live with mother until the end of the apocalypse

Chapter 10

"Didn't you buy cucumber seeds?" Li's mother took Xiao Xiaoyu to work all day, and felt that her waist was no longer her own. She had been bending over all day, and now it was a bit uncomfortable to straighten up.Looking up, there are still two-thirds of the area where no seedlings have been planted.

Li Qianyu didn't answer directly, but responded vaguely, "I seem to have forgotten it, look at my memory." She doesn't like cucumbers at all.

Mother Li washed her hands in the sink and washed all the dirt off her hands. "It's okay. I think there are still two cucumber seedlings. If they are planted well, they can still be harvested."

Listening to her mother's words, Li Qianyu nodded silently.

Urging Xiao Xiaoyu to wash off the dirt on her body, Mama Li sat beside Li Qianyu, looked at the fruits of her hard work, and said with emotion: "I watched some videos, saying that seedlings grow faster than seeds. Our The next planting is all chili peppers, which can be matured in about three months."

"Aren't there any tomatoes? I don't think they took tomato seedlings and pepper seedlings to plant together?"

"I want to grow peppers first to gain experience."

Li Qianyu also agrees with your mother's idea.

"I cut a few disposable mineral water bottles, and poked a few holes in the bottom to make seedling pots." Li Qianyu said, pointing to the row of plastic water bottles filled with soil in the corner.

"Hey, what kind of seedlings are they?" Mother Li thought that the daughter of this family was not interested in this thing!
Li Qianyu heard what Mama Li meant, and scratched her head in embarrassment and said, "It's all leek seedlings. I haven't eaten roasted leeks for a long time, and I miss it."

She thought about it, and then said: "But I did some research, and if you use seeds to raise seedlings, you may not be able to eat roasted leeks until next year." She still felt a little regretful as she spoke.

"In this weather, the temperature is too high! Let the leek seedlings be placed in the shade of the stairs on the second floor!" If the leek seedlings are placed in the corner, they will be fine in the afternoon, but if the temperature is high at noon, they will be sunburned to death.The temperature in the shade of the stairs is about 15 degrees, which is just right for growing leek seedlings.

Li's mother watched Li Qianyu move the leek seeds, and then looked up at the red sun hanging in the sky. She always felt that the temperature this year was much higher than last year's.

At dinner time, Li Qianyu took Xiao Xiaoyu to read and read while peeling garlic, while Li's mother was busy in the kitchen.

Xiaoyu's reading speed is very fast. According to the normal situation, Xiaoyu would be in the first grade in September this year, but with the current situation, reading has become a luxury.

"What does it smell like, leeks? It smells so good, isn't it leek omelette?" Li Qianyu walked into the kitchen carrying a bowl full of garlic that he had peeled, and smelled the smell of leeks that he had been thinking about all morning.

She laughed and rubbed her way to Mama Li's side, first stood on the left side for a while, then on the right side for a while.I watched helplessly as Mama Li was frying leek egg pancakes in a pan.

Since bringing Xiao Xiaoyu with them, the three of them only eat instant noodles occasionally. After all, children still need a lot of nutrition to grow up.

"The meal is ready, come and serve the food."

When Li Qianyu heard this, he immediately arranged for Xiaoyu to clean up the dining table, and rushed into the kitchen.

Shredded pork with green peppers, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and omelette with leeks, plus three bowls of rice.After eating a meal, Li Qianyu was satisfied, and his body and mind were greatly comforted.

Sure enough, my mother still loves me the most!

He swiftly put away the empty plates and bowls, and within 10 minutes the dishes were washed and came out. Li Qianyu took time to make a pot of rose tea in the kitchen.

She smiled and handed the tea to Mama Li: "Beauty and beauty!"

The evening wind was still a little hot, so Li Qianyu followed the actions of Mother Li and Xiao Xiaoyu, and began to take out the pepper seedlings, slowing down the seedlings and then watering them thoroughly, preparing the number of pepper seedlings to be planted tomorrow.

Slowing down the seedlings is to remove all the seedlings from the packaging bag, and then water all the leaves and roots, and then put them in a cool and ventilated place, so that the seedlings can fully adapt to the temperature and humidity in the yard.It can be taken out and planted the next morning.

Looking at the pepper seedlings piled up in the pot, Li Qianyu asked. "Do you want to add some tomato seedlings? You don't need to make a lot of them, just prepare about 20 tomato seedlings." The loss of 20 tomato seedlings is completely affordable for them.Now Li Qianyu is in high spirits, and is very active in doing these tasks.

After finishing the tomato seedlings, Mother Li took Li Tianyu to watch cartoons.

Sitting is also boring, Li Qianyu didn't really want to watch a movie tonight, so he wandered around in the yard to the side of the vegetable field.

Inside the house, Mother Li was watching cartoons with Xiao Xiaoyu.

She glanced at the four-piece gardening set in the corner, and then yelled into the room: "Mom, I'll dig a few holes first, and then put in some base fertilizer. Tomorrow morning, we'll put the seedlings that have been sown today into it." That's it."

"You take it easy!" Li's mother continued watching cartoons with Xiao Xiaoyu without raising her head.

Xiao Xiaoyu also heard Li Qianyu's words, and couldn't sit still. She looked at the cartoon on the tablet and looked at the people in the yard. She seemed a little hesitant and entangled.In the brain, watching cartoons in the room and digging holes in the yard are doing strong thought collisions.

Li's mother saw Xiao Xiaoyu's hesitation, and comforted her in a low voice: "It's okay, your sister Xiaoyu will feel tired after staying outside for half an hour at most. We can continue to do it tomorrow morning, don't worry."

With mother Li's assurance, Xiaoyu began to concentrate on watching cartoons again.

Sure enough, Li Qianyu didn't surprise Li's mother, and after digging a hole for half an hour, Li Qianyu felt a little bored. The interest in digging came and went quickly.She put down the tools, went to the side to wash her hands, and followed the door to lie on the sofa and read the planting tutorial.

However, she continued from beginning to end. She dug a total of ten holes and put some base fertilizer in each hole.

To be honest, Li Qianyu feels that watching all kinds of planting videos on the tablet, such as growing vegetables on the roof, growing vegetables in the yard, and planting some flowers and succulents, is much easier than she actually digs holes to plant. .

Especially in the video, from seedling sowing to final harvest, you can feel the joy of growing vegetables in just a few minutes.Li Qianyu likes this kind of directness.

When she got excited watching the video later, she found another notebook and carefully wrote down all the key points of planting peppers, tomatoes, eggplants, cucumbers, leeks and so on.

In the middle of the night, Mother Li and Xiaoyu had already gone to bed, and she was still watching the video recording with great interest, planning to give these points to Mother Li the next day.
