Chapter 208.
During the Lantern Festival, there was no Lantern Festival held in the town, probably because of the drought.

On the day of the Lantern Festival, Mrs. Liu pinched a few shaped flowers with noodles and steamed them, poured some rapeseed oil into the flower wicks, put a small wick into them, lit them, and shone their noses for everyone in the family. , eyes, and ears, even if this festival is over, I didn’t eat glutinous rice balls, but dumplings.

Later, on February [-]nd, before dawn, every household in Linjiagou Village drew a circle in the yard with plant ash, put whole grains in the middle, and pressed it with bricks. This is called "Dalutun", which means It is to stock up on high grain and hope to have a good harvest this year.

Then there are stir-fried beans, also known as stir-fried beans. The main ingredient is soybeans. Soak the soybeans in advance and dry them. After frying them that day, you can carry them in your pocket and go to the Earth Temple to play.

There are still many taboos on this day. You are not allowed to drink glutinous rice, for fear that the longan will be spoiled, and you will not live long; you are not allowed to comb your hair in the house, for fear that gnats will fall on the roof; and you cannot use needles and threads in the room for fear of hurting the longan .

After February [-], spring planting begins.

Fertilization, land preparation, these tasks don't need Yue Jiuyue, she and the Liu family are cultivating sweet potato seedlings at home, and they can start planting sweet potatoes around the Qingming Festival.

Because the water in the South Lake is getting less and less, and it is about to start farming, the day is still very clear, and there is no sign of cloudy rain. Well, spring planting started early.

Yue Jiuyue didn't stop Lin Chaodong and the others from planting, but it took time to cultivate sweet potato seedlings. Their family planted sweet potatoes with the sweet potato vines left over from last year.

The same goes for other families in the village.

"Mom, our land is all planted, and the land that was reclaimed last year has also been planted. I thought to myself, last year's sweet potatoes didn't grow well. Anyway, there is not much work these days when I come home. I plan to do it again." Then go to open up wasteland, and you will be exempted from taxes for three years, don't you like it?"

While eating, the boss discussed with Yue Jiuyue.

"You can do it as you see, you don't need to ask me about these things, that's right, it's too early to plant the land, so you can be idle for a few days, and when it's autumn, the busy feet will hit the back of your head? Ye Do you think you can come over by then?"

Who knows what it will be like in autumn, and they don't know her plan, are they afraid of getting sick from exhaustion?
"Then, I'll open up another acre of land, then plant [-]% of the land with corn, and the remaining [-]% of the land with soybeans, mung beans, etc."

Lin Chaodong pondered for a while, and gave his answer after thinking about it.

Yue Jiuyue declined to comment. Anyway, she would not be lazy when she was still working, nor would she work hard, as long as they were successful.

The three sons began to open up wasteland again, and then fertilized the land, planted corn and beans, and it was only then that Tomb-sweeping Day came.

This year's Ching Ming Festival is destined to have no rain.

Willow and pine branches were planted on the door frame early. The men went to worship their ancestors, and the lives of the women seemed to be the same as usual, doing what they should do.

At Yue Jiuyue's house, Yue Jiuyue and Liu's family were breaking sweet potato seedlings from the sweet potatoes. They neatly stacked each bunch of about twenty seedlings, tied them up with straw ropes, and put them in baskets. Waiting for tomorrow to send it to the county seat and hand it over to the county magistrate.
