Chapter 38 Planting Vegetables for the First Time in Spring

Chapter 38 Planting Vegetables for the First Time in Spring

Before the last few people left, they spent 200 yuan to buy some slender fish from Zhang An and took them away.

Because after eating this fish at noon, they found that they didn't feel anything like eating before.

It was getting dark, and the few people didn't stay for dinner, but drove to the town to finish today's catch.

After dinner, Zhang An cleaned up the cement and sand that fell from the wall in the small house.

Tomorrow, the stone wall will have to be powdered with fine sand and cement, and then the entire small gate will be finished. Then the little tigers will be able to move in and live there.

Taking advantage of the evening, Zhang An walked into the cherry grove to take a look. This morning Zhang An went to the town to buy cement early in the morning. When he came back, the sun was always shining in the sky, so he didn't water them.

Now that the weather has cooled down, Zhang An brought a watering can from home and watered them one by one.

Half a month later, these small saplings have grown significantly taller, and many sprouts have sprouted.

Under the roots of the tree, it may be the reason for watering the spring, and the grass on the ground is also growing well.

It's okay, grow up quickly, and cut it off to feed the pigs when it grows up, Zhang An thought.

Under Zhang An's care, the flowers, plants and trees in the small courtyard are bursting with vitality, and everything in the small courtyard of the Zhang family is developing in a beautiful direction.

Many people have already said that sitting in the yard of Zhang An's house will feel very comfortable.

In the early morning of the vertical day, the sky began to drizzle.

It has begun to enter the second month of the lunar calendar, and there will be more and more rain in the future.

The seedlings of peppers and eggplants scattered in the garden before have grown to a height of two or three inches.

Taking advantage of the humidity today, the family has to transplant these seedlings first.

The land for growing chili peppers has already been plowed and ridged, and Zhang An dug the nest with a hoe.

Zhang Jianguo used a dung skip to put some farmyard manure in the pen, and put some in each pit.

Then put the pulled out spicy seedlings and eggplant seedlings into the pit.

Don't look at the dirty manure of these livestock rettings, but they are very nutritious, and the plants planted in this way will grow very fast.

But don't sprinkle too much, otherwise it is easy to burn the seedlings.

The survival rate of chili seeds this year is too high, and there are still a lot of seedlings left after planting two parts of the land. After the eggplant seedlings were transplanted at the end, they did not continue to grow.

The remaining seedlings can be asked by the second and third aunts if they want them at home.

There are not enough seedlings in the village, so I often go to other people's houses to ask for more seedlings.

Some people may have sprinkled less, and some may have sprinkled more, anyway, these are the ways of the world.

When the second aunt and the third aunt heard what Zhang An's mother said, they both took a look.

The seedlings are growing very well, not only are they fresh, but also the trunks are strong, and there is enough leftover to plant two parts of the land, so as not to sow seeds in my family.

In the end, the two families divided the remaining spicy rice seedlings and eggplant seedlings.

In the town, there are special people who bring home-grown spicy rice seedlings to the fair for sale.

But this kind of pepper is only dare to take it out if the quality of the pepper at home is good. Otherwise, when someone else buys it and the plant is not good, they will scold you behind their backs.

Sometimes the garden is too small, because there are not enough vegetables to eat.

But even if the garden is too big, a lot of vegetables are planted, but there is still an empty space.

After chopping off the cabbage and greens that had been mossed before, there is still an empty piece.

Wang Fang belongs to the kind of person who can be idle but can't be idle. After Zhang An helped to turn over the land, she found the corn seeds that had been planted last year and started planting.

This corn is not the corn that grows in the field.

It's the glutinous rice grains that are grown at home to eat. Many years ago, everyone grew a lot of this stuff.

Because this is a local variety, it tastes delicious. People who have not had enough to eat in those years use this to make corn rice.

In the past two years, everyone's living standards have improved, and there are not so many people planting.

And now the seed station sells scientific hybrid corn and hybrid rice seeds.

The yield is indeed much higher than that of traditional local varieties, but they are not tasty and are only suitable for feeding livestock and making fodder.

Moreover, they cannot be kept for seedlings, and new ones have to be bought every year to plant them.

In later generations, it seems that it is illegal to keep seeds privately, unless you grow them yourself, you will eat them yourself, and you cannot sell them for money.

But now every family will keep some, because the hybrid corn grown in the field, even when it is still tender, tastes very bad, the taste is not good, and there are too many corn husks.

Plant it at this time, and it will be ready to eat after June.

At that time, it can be eaten fried or boiled.

What Zhang An likes the most is to beat the tender corn into a pulp and make it into glutinous rice cake.

In the end, there was not much land left after planting, so Wang Fang called Zhang An home, and the three of them stood in the field, unable to turn around.

Spring sleepiness and autumn fatigue are the special effects of the seasons. Zhang An didn't feel it when he was busy in the field.

After sitting by the stove for a while, I started to feel sleepy.

After a while, I lay down on the stove and dreamed.

After an unknown amount of time, he felt something licking his hand, a wet feeling.

Zhang An woke up and found that it was Xiaohu who was licking him.

The little guy's hair was covered with water and some grass leaves, and he was pressing a gray rabbit on the ground with his two front paws.

"You guys have gone into the mountains again, right? You don't stay at home when it's raining. Look at your two brothers. They are dozing off in the nest."

Zhang An brought up the rabbit and found that it was not dead, but trembling all over.

That's right, Xiaohu, every time he catches something, it's basically alive, unlike the other two, who kill everything he catches.

I found a piece of rotten clothes and wiped off the water on Xiaohu's body.

It was still shaking its fur, and the water droplets on its body splashed Zhang An all over.

Zhang An saw that this guy did it on purpose, and opened his mouth wide after shaking.

It made Zhang An give it two slaps.

"Mom, Xiaohu went to the mountain and caught a rabbit and came back."

Zhang An also mentioned going out to show Wang Fang and the two of them. Both of them were very happy, and they kept saying that Xiaohu was still promising.

"From the New Year to now, I eat fish and meat every day. If the rabbit is still alive, I will not kill it. I will lock it up first and wait until I want to eat it."

How can you get tired of eating meat? In this day and age, Wang Fang still wants to save some money. It makes sense to eat better during the Chinese New Year.

But now that the new year is over, it is still so good to eat meat at home, and her heart is not used to it, and now she doesn't have to do any work.

It can only be said that Zhang An's mother's heart has not adapted to the rhythm of life at home.

But the older generation is like this, eat and drink well, it's better to have some stock in hand for peace of mind.

These all take some time to get used to.

It also happened that Zhang An wanted to raise some rabbits for his family. The outer circle is so big that it is still a bit empty to live only with those few ducks inside.

And although the rabbits in the space have been restricted by Zhang An, there are still many.

So it is still necessary to raise the rabbits, and there will be a reason to sell them when the time comes.

"Okay, I'll listen to my mother, and when the time comes, let the little tigers go up the mountain and see if we can catch a few more. Let's raise rabbits."
