Farm Widow: Pick up a husband to open up wasteland and farm

Chapter 21

With a white belly showing in the sky, Zhang Xiaolan got up and put on her clothes. It was hot recently, and she wanted to take advantage of the coolness of the morning to transplant the pepper seedlings that had grown in the yard to the newly opened area of ​​Jing Yuan a few days ago. wasteland.

And even the pea field has grown a lot of peas. I am afraid that some can be pulled out in the past two days and peeled to make some seeds. This is why I haven't done anything to it these days. Gone.

She picked up the sickle and went to the wasteland in the yard. Seeing these thriving seedlings, she couldn't help being very satisfied. She also looked at the potatoes that had just been planted for a few days on the opposite side, and they also sprouted a lot.

Squatting down and patiently prying the pepper seedlings out of the soil bit by bit, until the roots were confirmed not to be damaged, they continued to pry the second plant with satisfaction.

Zhu Zi was woken up by urination, and when he got up, he saw his eldest sister working in the field. After searching, he ran into the toilet to pee, and hurriedly followed her to work.

This time he didn't ask too many questions. He felt that the eldest sister was getting more and more methodical, and it was always right to follow in her footsteps.

Jing Yuan was awakened by the movement outside. He watched the scene in the courtyard through the window, got up alone, and went to work in the field together.

Only the white-haired old man woke up and sat leisurely on the chair in front of the eaves, watching the three adults busy in the field for a while.

The two young ones are building a house for breakfast, and no one in this family is lazy.

Not to mention, it was relatively quick to do the work in the field before the sun rose. In less than an hour, all the pepper seedlings in the field were transplanted to the open space next to it.

"Leave the watering to me."

Zhu Zi volunteered, fearing that the elder sister would carry it alone.All this hard work is nothing to him.

Zhang Xiaolan wiped the fine sweat from her forehead, smiled and agreed, got up and went back to the kitchen to fetch two scoops of water and scrub the mud in her hands.

After the meal, I have to work on the starch in the bucket again.

Let it dry for another day, and the few catties of starch produced yesterday can be used to steam buns.

And these can also be used to make sweet potato vermicelli. After these barrels are dried, all the vermicelli will be made and stored in the sun. Don't be afraid that there will be too many sweet potatoes, and they will rot if you can't eat them all.

This mood is really beautiful.

Zhang Celery baked the pancakes, brought a pot of porridge with sweet potato leaves to the table, and called for dinner for a few days.

Except for the old man who took a few mouthfuls, the others finished the porridge in the bowl.There was not even a pancake left.

"Follow me to the opposite side of the mountain in a while"

Jing Yuan was taken aback, but didn't ask any further questions. He put down the bowls and chopsticks in his hand, and walked out of the yard with him, carrying a basket on his back and an axe, leaving Zhu Zhu with a resentful expression on his face, carrying a bucket into the cave.

The two of them walked all around the mountain, but the other mountain they went to now felt a lot more stinging. At first, Zhang Xiaolan walked in front and cut the vines with a sickle, and finally Jing Yuan jumped over her and blocked her. In the front, she took an ax and chopped off the vines in front of her. There were many scratches on her body along the way.

It seems that no one has ever come to this mountain, and there is no way to go. It depends on the two of them cutting vines and branches bit by bit to continue to move forward. Although he doesn't know what she is going to do, he is willing to continue. Forward.

Fortunately, after more than an hour, they finally arrived at a dense bamboo forest.

She happily said "Dig it"

"Dig this kind of short ones, the ones that are just emerging"

Jing Yuan was puzzled, "It's rare to go so far just to dig this thing?"

And... there it is!
Why do you have to dig here?
