Splendid Pastoral: Space farmers are good for farming

Chapter 45

It was really hard for Fang to do anything in front of Qiao Mantun, so he could only hold his breath in his stomach.

Kikyo was worried that she was picking up the peppercorns behind her back, so she told her eldest sister and second sister to be careful, and then went to Wugu's house to sleep.

Afraid of the cold on the road, she deliberately put on a new cotton-padded jacket before going out, but she didn't expect that it was obviously a thick big cotton-padded jacket, but it was blown through by the wind when she went out, not as good as the old jacket she wore before.

When she arrived at Wugu's house, she was so cold that her upper teeth collided with her lower teeth.

The bright cotton-padded jacket with big flowers was very conspicuous, Qiao and Dita saw it, and asked happily: "Hey, who made this new cotton-padded jacket for San'er, my San'er looks even more handsome wearing it!"

Bellflower plunged into the kang, put her cold hands into Qiao He's arms, and said coquettishly, "Fifth Gu, this new cotton-padded jacket is so cold, it's not as good as the jacket I was wearing before, it froze me! "

Qiao Hedi touched her little hand and said, "Oh, no, why is it frozen like this? This padded jacket looks quite thick."

Kikyo said, "I don't know, it's just cold anyway."

Qiao Gendi put the quilt on, asked Ji Jiao to take off the padded jacket and lay down under the quilt, and said, "Come on, let me take it apart and see how this padded jacket is made, it can freeze the child like this."

As he spoke, he quickly unraveled the thread at the bottom of the cotton-padded jacket for a few stitches, and took a look at the cotton wadding inside, but he was dumbfounded when he saw it. It turned out that the wadding inside was not cotton at all, but some rough fluffy things.

Qiao Gendi took out some and held them in the palm of his hand for a long time, and said, "Isn't this a reed flower? God, how can this thing keep out the cold!"

Li Baotian also came over to look at it, and said, "Tsk tsk, this Fang family can really figure out how to use a reed jacket."

Kikyo lay on the bed and pursed her mouth, thinking that she knew that Fang had no good intentions, but she didn't expect to be so creative. Such a person is a contempt for only being a stepmother to herself, and it is more than enough to be thrown into the harem to be a queen.

Qiao and Di looked at each other for a while, tears fell down, and said: "I heard people say that the stepmother is cruel, I have never seen it before, who would have thought that my niece will fall into the hands of the stepmother now... ..."

While talking, she got up, went to the cabinet and found a new bag of cotton, and then started to unwrap Kikyo's padded jacket.

Kikyo asked, "Guy, what are you doing here?"

Qiao Hedi said: "My aunt dismantled your padded jacket and remade it. Wearing a padded jacket like this to herd sheep is because you want to freeze my bellflowers to death!"

Ji Jiao hurriedly said: "That's not acceptable, that cotton is used for Sanxi's sister-in-law's wedding dress, you can't make it for me."

Qiao Gendi said: "It's okay, how much cotton can I use to make you a small padded jacket, if it's not enough, I'll go buy it."

Kikyo was lying there, and at a glance, she saw a small cotton lump in Wugu's new cotton, which was obviously a seed wrapped in the cotton wool and hadn't been cleaned. It’s definitely not mine alone, you can only be mine alone, why don’t I get some cotton and change all my sisters and sisters.”

Qiao and Di thought she was right, her niece is not just one Kikyo, there are six in total, I really can't redo all of them.Thinking about it, he said, "But you are a child, where are you going to get cotton?"

Kikyo said: "Actually, Fang bought a lot of cotton, but she is not willing to use it for us. I know where she hid it. When I go to steal it tomorrow, she will definitely not dare to make a sound when she finds out that she lost it."

Qiao Gendi stopped and said, "Okay, but you have to be careful, if she catches you on the spot, she won't be able to spare you."

"It's okay, don't worry..."

Kikyo said as he picked the seeds from the cotton and held them in his hand.

Qiao Gendi didn't think much about it when he saw it, thinking that children like to pick and play with useless things.

That night, Platycodon grandiflora entered the space again and planted the cotton seed.

Cotton grows a little slower than millet, but it is estimated that it will be mature by tomorrow morning, and the seeds will be harvested here for another season, and cotton will be harvested in the evening.

Before getting up the next morning, Platycodon grandiflora entered the space again, and saw that the cotton plant had grown and matured, and the tall and big tree had produced hundreds of large cotton bolls.

Platycodon grandiflorum was in a daze for a while, thinking that one seed was not enough, so I planted another crop by myself, but with only this one, it seemed that my sisters would not be able to use it up.

She stayed for a while and started picking cotton bolls.

The cotton plant was too tall, and she couldn't reach the top with her small size, so she had to climb up to pick it. Fortunately, the soil in the space would not get anywhere else, so it was good to just put it on the ground.And the magic of the space makes the cotton lint and cottonseed neatly separated, saving the trouble of removing the seeds later, and the harvest is the best lint.

After harvesting the cotton, she picked out the cottonseeds, stored them in several cotton husks, and placed them under the branches.

After harvesting everything, she looked at the hill-like cotton on the ground, and the dry cotton branch, and thought that the cotton could not be taken out immediately, otherwise she would not be able to explain to her aunt, and this huge cotton branch took up too much space. , and can’t stay in the space all the time, let’s get it out when the sheep are herding...

Thinking of her going out of the space again, she got up and dressed, made breakfast with her aunt, and asked Yao Jinfang to herd the sheep after dinner.

After returning home, she took out the old jacket and changed it into another one. While changing in the kitchen, she quietly asked Fen Xiang: "Sister, what do you think of the new cotton jacket that Mrs. Fang made for us?"

Fenix ​​felt helpless that she didn't call Fang's "mother" behind her back, glanced into the main room, and whispered, "It's good, but it's a bit cold, and the wind blows through as soon as I go out. Do it warm."

Kikyo said: "That's for sure, you don't even think about who made this jacket... Well, I'll go first, let the padded jacket go first, you can help me get the house later..."

After speaking, he picked up the torn furskin that wrapped the clothes and went out to herd the sheep.

Fen Xiang saw her acting strangely, stood there and muttered: "What's wrong with this girl, she spoke inexplicably, and even took away the fur skin, does she want to use that thing as a headscarf?"

While talking, he looked down at his cotton-padded jacket, his eyes full of suspicion.

Besides, Qiao Hedi, after Kikyo went out wearing a reed jacket in the morning, the more she thought about it, the more she felt bad. Fang's heart is so cruel, if he treats a few children like this, if he doesn't care, how much punishment will be suffered by his nieces in the future.

Thinking of her going out to her second brother's house, she saw Fenix ​​tidying up in the kitchen when she entered, and glanced into the house, she saw Fang sitting on the kang coaxing Ershan to play.She asked: "Fennel, where is your father, the charcoal kiln has not been dug yet?"

"Fifth Gu is here. My father has finished digging the charcoal kiln. He is digging a hole in the garden to bury carrots. He said that he will go to the charcoal kiln to try to see if he can burn some charcoal."

"Oh." Qiao replied to Di, seeing the reed jacket of the platycodon grandiflorum lying on the broken stool beside him, picked it up and went out of the house to meet Qiao Mandun in the garden.
