Nongmen counterattack: I take my family to a well-off life

Chapter 11 Planting Sweet Potatoes

Just after dawn, Zhou Yue got up, started running around the yard of her own house, and then strode and jumped leapfrog, which attracted the whole family to watch.

"Little sister, what are you doing?" Zhou Qing asked, watching Zhou Yue make this series of movements.

"Huh~" Zhou Yue breathed a long sigh of relief, "Second brother, I am exercising. My body is too weak now. I just need to exercise more."

"Exercising? Can you exercise your body just by doing these weird movements?" Zhou Lin was also puzzled.

"Yes, it can make the body stronger." After Zhou Yue finished speaking, she started to fight again.

The three of them were not calm when they saw Zhou Yue doing military style boxing. Why did this look like practicing martial arts!
Zhou Qing's eyes lit up, "Little sister, you are practicing martial arts! It looks like punching!"

"Eh... it can be considered a kind of martial arts. This is a set of boxing techniques." Zhou Yue fought fiercely while talking.

"Okay!" Zhou Qing applauded, "Little sister, can I learn with you?"

Zhou Lin and Zhou Ming were also a little moved, looking straight at Zhou Yue, which boy doesn't yearn for peerless martial arts?Although I don’t know what Zhou Yue is capable of, this boxing technique looks very powerful.

Seeing this, Zhou Yue didn't understand anything, the three brothers' eyes were about to sparkle!

"Then let's learn together. If you learn well, you can protect yourself!" Zhou Yue said, "You have to exercise with me every morning and I will teach you! But we have agreed that since we want to learn, we have to persevere, but You can’t spend three days fishing and two days drying the nets.”

"Okay! We must get up early and keep studying every day!" Zhou Qing was the first to express his opinion.

Zhou Lin and Zhou Ming also nodded immediately, "Yes, we will definitely persevere!"

"Then let's start from tomorrow and practice for half an hour every morning after getting up." Zhou Yue decided immediately.

"Okay, let's start from tomorrow!" The three also agreed unanimously.

Little do they know that the decisions made today will play a big role in the future.

After breakfast, Zhou Yue took out three sweet potatoes from her room, planning to plant them in her yard first, and then expand the planting when they were ripe.

Qian Guilan took her three older brothers to water the fields, leaving Zhou Yue and his father at home.

When Zhou Jiacheng watched Zhou Yue take out three or two sweet potatoes, he was still puzzled. The red skin still contained soil, which looked like the roots of plants dug out of the soil, "Yueyue, this is also the medicinal material you picked. Is it? Why didn’t you take it to the town and sell it together?”

"Father, this isn't medicinal material, it's food! I found this on the mountain, and it can be eaten as a meal!" Zhou Yue replied with a smile.

"Ingredients? But didn't we just have breakfast? Are you hungry again?" Zhou Jiacheng asked.

"No, I want to plant them. Even though there are only three of them, I can harvest a lot in the fall. This is called sweet potato, also called sweet potato, and the yield is very high!" Zhou Yue introduced it to Zhou Jiacheng in advance, and also took precautions. Needle, don't be intimidated by the yield at that time, after all, one mu of land now only produces two to three hundred catties of grain.

"The yield is very high!" Zhou Jiacheng immediately sat up straight. He had read a book and knew what high grain yield meant. If it was really high yield, it would be something that could save people's lives!
Zhou Yue nodded, "Yes, at least the yield is higher than that of wheat and rice, and it doesn't choose the land. It can also be planted in the mountains."

Although there is no way to confirm the yield per mu, Zhou Yue knows that the yield of sweet potatoes must be much higher than that of wheat and rice.

"Ah, this is the blessing of my Great Xia Kingdom. Where do you want to plant Yueyue?" Zhou Jiacheng's eyes turned red with excitement.

"I want to plant it in the yard first, and wait for this season to mature, and then plant it in the field next year." Zhou Yue said her plan.

"Yes, it's very good to plant it in the yard first, but you can bring it here and show me first." Zhou Jiacheng agreed with Zhou Yue's approach, but wanted to see the sweet potatoes.

Zhou Yue walked up to Zhou Jiacheng, and put the sweet potatoes in Zhou Jiacheng's hands. Zhou Jiacheng was holding three sweet potatoes, but he didn't dare to use force with his hands, for fear of breaking the precious seeds.

Zhou Jiacheng returned the sweet potato to Zhou Yue after reading it, and asked, "Can you grow this thing?"

"Yes, sweet potatoes are very simple to grow. First raise the seedlings. It is April and the temperature is just right. Bury the sweet potatoes in the soil, and the stems and leaves will grow in a few days. When the stems and leaves grow to more than three leaves, it is almost The length of a forearm can be pulled out and planted."

Zhou Jiacheng nodded again and again, although he didn't know if it was right, but looking at Zhou Yue's confident face, it was probably okay.

Zhou Yue buried the sweet potato in the soil at a slant, watered it again, and then it didn't matter, and just waited for it to germinate.

Seeing Zhou Jiacheng's left leg tied with a plank, Zhou Yue thought for a while, "Father, wait a minute, I'll go out for a while, and I'll be back in a while." After speaking, she went out with a hatchet.

Looking at his daughter who ran away without a trace in the blink of an eye, Zhou Jiacheng was a little speechless. Before he had time to ask where he was going, he ran away in a hurry. Alas~ My daughter has grown up and has her own ideas.

Zhou Yue ran to the foot of Daze Mountain and began to look for Xiaoshu. She wanted to make a crutch for Zhou Jiacheng, so that he could move around with it by himself.

After walking around for a while, he finally found a small elm tree with a fork on the top. It fit perfectly. Zhou Yue stepped forward and cut it down without saying anything. He trimmed the upper branches to make a Y-shaped fork, and then Went back with the cane.

Zhou Jiacheng saw Zhou Yue coming in with a tree branch, so I dare say that the child is going to cut the branch!
"Dad, I made a crutch for you! You stand up and I'll try to see if the height is right." Zhou Yue said as she helped Zhou Jiacheng up and put the simple version of the crutch under Zhou Jiacheng's left armpit.

"It seems a bit long. Dad, please sit down first and I'll cut off a section." After Zhou Yue finished speaking, she helped Zhou Jiacheng sit down again, picked up the machete and cut off another section.

"Okay, this is definitely suitable, you can try again." Zhou Jiacheng took the initiative to stand up with his crutches this time.

"This is very good. With this crutch, I can stand up by myself, which is very convenient." Zhou Jiacheng took two steps with the crutch.

"Okay dad, don't get excited. With this, you can move more easily. You should familiarize yourself with it first. I went to the river to wash clothes, and I will be back in a while." Zhou Yue comforted Zhou Jiacheng, and packed up the clothes she wore yesterday. Clothes, ready to go out with the basin.

"Okay, don't worry, dad is fine." Zhou Jiacheng nodded in agreement.

Zhou Yue came to the river with a basin and saw the daughters-in-law in the village who also came to wash clothes.

"Hey, it's Zhou Yue!" Aunt Wang who met at the foot of the mountain last time saw Zhou Yue for the first time.

"Really, why does the little girl from Zhou's family look different this time?" An aunt next to her also tilted her head and glanced at Zhou Yue, muttering.

Zhou Yue also saw a few people, and rushed forward to say hello, "Aunt Wang, Aunt Liu, sister-in-law of the Liu family, you guys are here to do the laundry too!"

"Hey, yes, your child is getting more and more beautiful the longer you grow!" Aunt Wang spoke first.

"Isn't it? I see that the whole person has become more energetic." Aunt Liu also said, and Aunt Liu's eldest daughter-in-law also nodded.

"Thank you for the compliments, aunties. I think they have really good eyesight! Haha!" Zhou Yue winked playfully.

"Hey, kid, if you say you're fat, you're still out of breath!" Aunt Wang also joked.

At this time, the grandson of Aunt Wang's family came running over, "Yeah, it's wood. Auntie brought the wood here? I didn't see it just now." Zhou Yue said.

"That's right, everyone in the family went to water the fields, and the child was unattended, so I brought it here." Aunt Wang answered.
