Abandoned Daughter's Beautiful Pastoral

Chapter 122 Cutting Constantly, Reasoning Still Disordered (2)
Mrs. Hua glanced at Xiao Hua, and snorted coldly: "As long as she doesn't cause trouble for me outside, I will be thankful! Thanks to your generosity, you don't care about her. If it's another family, scolding will be light!"

Xiao Hua stood aside and lowered her head, not daring to speak. Compared with the arrogant appearance in the morning, it is too far behind!

Zhang Xiaocao knew that Mrs. Hua came here not only to apologize, but also what she said in the field this morning, so she said, "Grandma Hua, don't say that! It’s a misunderstanding, and now everyone has said it, it’s nothing, so don’t think too much about it!”

When Mrs. Hua heard it, she immediately understood the meaning implied in her words, and she laughed even happier. She took her hand and thanked her repeatedly, boasting again and again!

Zhang Xiaocao was overwhelmed by her enthusiasm, so she just kept smiling and stopped talking!

After this incident, Mrs. Hua had a very good impression of Zhang Xiaocao. Whenever someone mentioned Zhang Xiaocao, she would always praise her, which surprised many people who knew her!
When Zhang Xiaocao heard about it, she just smiled, saying good things about her is better than talking bad things about her everywhere!

With Qin Zhong watching, Zhang Xiaocao didn't have to worry about it!She planned to go to Ganglou Village. There were still [-] acres of cotton there, so there were many things to do. Half of it was hers, and she was embarrassed to throw it all away!
When Grandma Zhang learned that she was going to Ganglou Village alone, she was a little worried, so she said, "Let Qin Zhong and the others go with you. Grandma is worried if you run so far alone!"

Zhang Xiaocao smiled and said, "Grandma, what is there to worry about? The three of them are busy working in the fields. Why don't you go and see with me? Grandma has never been there before!"

Grandma Zhang was a little dazed when she heard this, not knowing what she was thinking.

Zhang Xiaocao thought grandma didn't want to go, so she said, "It's fine if grandma doesn't want to go, it's okay for me to go alone, it's not that I haven't been there before, I can't lose it!"

Grandma Zhang stared: "What nonsense are you talking about?" Seeing that her granddaughter has gradually grown into a big girl, she was still worried, so she said, "Grandma is going with you, just to see how the cotton is growing!"

Zhang Xiaocao was very happy when she learned that grandma was going, and hurriedly went to the field to talk to Qin Zhong and the others, and then set off with grandma, but no one expected that such an unpleasant thing would happen!

The grandpa and grandson went to the town, hired an ox cart to go to Ganglou Village, and when they arrived at the cotton field, they saw that the field was also very busy, weeding!
Compared with what I saw before, this piece of land can no longer be seen as it was before. The whole piece of land has been changed into several large blocks, and earth embankments have been repaired on each block, and deep ditches have been dug. The criss-crossing earth embankments have grown The long grass is green and shiny, so even if it rains heavily, it is not afraid of being washed away by the heavy rain!
Le Lin, who was directing the work of the people in the field, saw Zhang Xiaocao's grandparents, hurried over to say hello, and invited them to rest in the adobe house built beside them.

At that time, Le Lin listened to Lin Zhaoyuan's suggestion and went to buy a lot of people who sold themselves as slaves from Yazi in the city. There were brothers, father and son, and also husband and wife.

Zhang Xiaocao looked around, these adobe houses were built according to the drawings she gave!The cost of a brick house is much higher than that of an adobe house. Those people were bought by Le Ting, but their master was her. She didn't have that much money to build them a house, so Le Ting paid for it. He wanted to build a brick house, which would be more practical, but she felt that she owed him more, so she refused!
Le Lin served them tea and stood aside respectfully.

Zhang Xiaocao quickly asked him to sit down, and then asked: "I think the cotton is growing well, is there any problem?"

Le Lin thought for a while before saying: "Before, the slaves found that some cotton plants had yellow leaves, like fishing nets. At that time, they thought that there was a lack of water, so they asked people to water them, but not only did it not work, even the cotton plants next to them also appeared In such a situation, the servants thought that the cotton plants might be sick, so they pulled out those cotton plants and transplanted new ones from other places, but the growth was not as good as the original ones!"

As soon as Zhang Xiaocao heard it, she knew that it was Fusarium wilt. The disease appeared in the seedling stage, reached the first peak at the budding stage, and the second peak in autumn. If measures are not taken in time, it is easy to cause large-scale die.

Fortunately, Lelin discovered it in time and took countermeasures, but this method only treats the symptoms but not the root cause. The key is that the source of the disease is in the soil.It can be relieved by applying organic fertilizers. If it is in modern times, spraying pesticides directly will be good.

There is no pesticide here, and she can't make it, so she has to use physical methods!

"You did a good job! In the future, as soon as you find a diseased plant, pull it out and burn it immediately, isolate the field, disinfect it with lime, and don't use farm tools together, so as not to infect other soil and infect the cotton plant!" When the cotton is harvested this season, water it immediately to wipe out the things that are harmful to the cotton plants in the soil!"

Speaking of which, continuous cropping of cotton is not possible. First, cotton needs a lot of fertility, and continuous cropping consumes the fertility of the soil, so it is necessary to rotate crops slowly. Second, it is also to eliminate germs and pests in the soil.

Now that there is no such condition for crop rotation, we have to irrigate and wait for the winter to freeze, which can freeze the pests to death and improve the soil environment.

When Le Lin heard this, he nodded again and again. He also saw that the disease could be contagious, so he pulled it out in a moment of urgency, but he did it right!

Zhang Xiaocao worked for a while, and let Le Lin go to work on her own. She took her grandma to look around the cotton field, and checked whether there were any other problems with the cotton. Seeing that the cotton was growing well and no pests and diseases occurred, she did so. Feeling more relieved, he took his grandma and bid farewell to Le Lin.

The bullock cart turned right, just after leaving Ganglou Village, and walking on the main road to the town, I heard someone shouting from behind: "Zhang Liuniang! Zhang Liuniang, stop for me, don't think I don't recognize you! "

When Zhang Xiaocao heard it, grandma's nickname was Liu Niang, and her surname was Zhang. Who was calling grandma?

Just as she was about to turn her head to ask, she saw grandma staring straight at the visitor, with suppressed anger and embarrassment on her face!

Zhang Xiaocao intuited that grandma was familiar with this person, and they had a deep connection!
I saw that the visitor was about the same age as grandma, and the criss-crossing wrinkles on his face showed the traces of time, but grandma gave people the feeling of being as warm as the sun in winter, while this person had thin lips and squinted cold eyes, looking at Grandma's expression was contemptuous, appearing very mean and vicious.

Sensing grandma's body trembling obviously after this person approached, she hurried forward, held grandma's hand, and blocked her with her body, and shouted to the driver: "Uncle, we are in a hurry, let's go! "

Hearing this, the driver quickly slapped his whip in the air. Hearing the master's instruction, the ox immediately spread its hooves and moved forward.
