Chapter 21 Greenhouse Nursing
However, Lu Xiaomi didn't graduate from an agricultural university, so he didn't know anything about breeding, so he could only worry about shortening the growth period.

The best way to shorten the growth period is to raise seedlings earlier, which is known to almost everyone in modern society, and it is nothing more than holding a greenhouse.She has been tossing around with the old director in the orphanage for a long time, and most of the vegetables in the bowls of her brothers and sisters in the yard come from her small vegetable shed.

Lu Xiaomi knew it well, so he was relieved.

When I got home, I still prepared luggage, food and supplies for Lu Laosan who was going back to the academy.Lu Laosan was afraid that someone would peep at the iron stove and cause his sister to lose business, so he refused to take the stove with him.

Lu Xiaomi scolded him twice, but seeing that his brother still refused, he had no choice but to go to various houses in the village to "borrow" a lot of down and down, and make a wool mattress.At that time, it can also fill in some warmth by putting it under the mattress.

On Laoxiong Ridge, there were no secrets.Previously, Xiaomi sewed down cloaks and cotton trousers for Lu Laosan and Feng Jian. They were light and soft, and the women in every household envied them.I don't want to be borrowed by the murdered Xiaomi before I can make a piece of underwear.

Orion family, there is no such thing as stingy, and seeing the beginning of spring, there is no need for thick clothes, so the women of every family responded happily, and even Aunt Liu came to help sew woolen mattresses.

Lu Xiaomi was very embarrassed, thinking that he must repay in the future.

This time Lu Laosan will live in the academy for more than half a year, and will not come back until the autumn harvest.Lu Xiaomi could not wait to take everything in the house to his brother, not to mention the clothes, shoes and hats, but he brought three jars of meat sauce, but the dumplings and noodles were not enough. After all, the weather was getting warmer and warmer. Lu Laosan suffered a catastrophe after eating it.

No matter how reluctant you are, the time to say goodbye always comes.

Father Lu took his son and told him to study hard, and Lu Xiaomi directly stuffed the third brother with a heavy purse, which contained Shuxiu and enough money for him...

The sudden absence of a person in the family, especially the absence of a main force at the dinner table, made Xiaomi a little unaccustomed.

But she didn't have the time to be emotional, it was the Lu family's literacy class that started again.

The clear and clear sound of children reading books came out of the Lu family courtyard again on time every morning. It could be heard that all the men, women and children wandering outside were squatting outside the wall, with their ears raised high, smiling and bathing in the still faint sunshine.

Xiaomi teaches the children to read in the morning, and is busy tidying up the things and rooms in the backyard in the afternoon.

Perhaps when building a house, it is considered that the children and grandchildren will be re-spaced when they get married.The east and west wing rooms in the backyard of the Lu family were all empty, and when you opened the door to enter, there was nothing else except the ten large pine pillars supporting the beams of the house.

This is very much in line with Lu Xiaomi's wishes. As long as the sundries in the room are moved out, it can be directly used as a greenhouse for seedlings.

In fact, it is a pity that such a good house should be used as a greenhouse.After all, moisture will rot doors, windows, beams and columns, but right now, there is really no better place, so we can only reluctantly give up.

The most important thing for growing seedlings in a greenhouse is to keep warm. If the temperature is not reached, no seedlings will grow.

Xiaomi went in and out with a notebook, drew a floor plan, and planned to build two earthen stoves in the east and west rooms, using adobe instead of green bricks. Naturally, the heat dissipation is a bit worse, but there is no need to spend any capital.

However, the furnace pipe for delivering cigarettes still needs to be made of iron sheets, which might bother Uncle Liu in the backyard.

In addition to earthen stoves, wooden boxes with wooden frames must be added.

The floors of the east and west wings are covered with bluestones, so it is impossible to grow seedlings.It's better to build a wooden frame in the house, put a wooden box on the wooden frame, and plant seedlings in the box.Not to mention the more reasonable use of space in this way, it is also easier to keep warm because the heat goes up.

There are two wing rooms plus one, which is [-] square meters, and a lot of wooden boxes and wooden shelves are needed.

So, after noon on the second day, Xiaomi took a box of fried cakes and ran to the backyard to find Aunt Liu's family.

Gui Zhier, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Liu family, was feeding the chickens in the corner of the courtyard. She was more than a circle fatter than last winter.

Xiaomi smiled and knocked on the door outside, shouting, "Sister-in-law Gui Zhi'er, open the door, I'll bring you delicious food!"

Gui Zhi'er turned to see her, and immediately laughed.Now her eldest son can read in front of Xiaomi, reciting the book in her arms last night, which made her wake up laughing from a dream.

How could she not be happy to see Xiaomi coming to the door now?
"Ah, Xiaomi, come in quickly! Just now my mother said that she was going to visit you in the front yard. No, you came first."

Lu Xiaomi entered the yard, raised his hand and handed the box to her, blinked playfully, and said with a smile, "I fried some fried cakes, it's hot now, sister-in-law, eat it quickly, and give birth to a white and fat naughty boy!"

Gui Zhi found out she was pregnant a few years ago. At this time, she had just passed the morning sickness, as if a black hole had popped up in her stomach overnight, and no amount of food could fill her up.Although the Liu family has extra money in daily life because Uncle Liu can do some chores, they are not so extravagant that they feed their daughter-in-law all day long.

Therefore, Gui Zhier looked forward to going to Xiaomi's house for a walk, every time she could get something to eat and appease the glutton in her belly.

Now seeing that Xiaomi brought fried cakes again, she couldn't help swallowing.

But her in-laws are in the hall, so even her daughter-in-law can't eat delicious food by herself.

When he was so hesitant, Aunt Liu came out to welcome her. Seeing this, how could she not guess.So he waved away his daughter-in-law, "I've given you the millet, so you can take it and go back home to eat. When Da Zhu comes back, you'll be even more reluctant."

After that, she smiled and pulled Xiaomi into the room.

Xiaomi glanced at no one in the room, and asked with a smile, "Where are my Uncle Liu and Brother Xiaodao, did they go up the mountain so early?"

"No, the mountain is still covered by heavy snow, how could it be possible to go up? Your Uncle Liu went for a walk and ran out of doors, and Xiao Dao followed him."

The two chatted a few words, but Xiaomi didn't bother, and directly said what he wanted to do.

Aunt Liu was naturally happy when she heard that her man was earning extra money.The Liu family has no land, and they rely on hunting for a year's food. Although the family can't starve to death, they can't get much richer. Now that the daughter-in-law is pregnant again, they will import someone soon. It's time to earn more money.

If you don't want to send pillows when you doze off, Xiaomi will come to your door.

"Success, when your Uncle Liu comes back, I'll ask him to go to your house to measure the size."

As soon as her words fell, the door of the room was opened, and it happened that Uncle Liu, who was slightly hunched over, came back.

Hearing that Xiaomi came to ask him to do work again, Uncle Liu, who had been idle all winter, couldn't wait, so he took the wooden ruler and went back with Xiaomi.

When going out, Xiaodao came back out of nowhere. Needless to say, there was one more person in the team going to Lu's house.

If it is placed in a rich family, outsiders cannot easily enter the daughter's yard.

But Uncle Liu almost watched Xiaomi grow up, and Knife is also a childhood sweetheart. This time, the east and west wing rooms are going to be converted into greenhouses for seedling cultivation.

Besides, there are not so many rules for people in mountain villages. Women go hunting in the mountains, and they go to the river to bathe together in summer, not to mention just opening the gate of the courtyard.

However, this matter fell into the eyes of the owner and servant of the east wing, but it was a different mood.

Lao Yang coughed twice, and said with a smile, "Master, I'll help Miss Lu."

Feng Jian got off the ground, put on a cloak and replied, "Let's go together."

A smile flashed in Lao Yang's eyes, and he raised his hand and pushed the door open.

Lu Xiaomi was walking behind Uncle Liu in the east and west rooms. Although the weather was still cold, she was sweating on the tip of her busy nose.

Uncle Liu is dexterous, and he is almost always asked for help with any chores in Laoxiongling.He had even cracked the girl's dowry boxes before, but now they are just simple wooden boxes filled with soil, and the clay stove made of adobe is naturally not a problem for him.

It was Lu Xiaomi's talk about raising seedlings that made him very curious.However, he was old and refined, no matter how much he muttered in his heart, he didn't ask.

Xiaodao is still young, and while helping his father measure the size, he asked Xiaomi with a smile, "Miss Xiaomi, what kind of seedlings do you really want to use to put soil in a box. Can it be done without the sun?"

Just as Xiaomi was about to respond, Uncle Liu slapped his son on the head and scolded, "You treat Xiaomi as stupid as you, work hard, and you'll know when the time comes."

Xiaodao rubbed the back of his head, turned his head and made a face with Xiaomi, which made Xiaomi burst out laughing.

Feng Jian just entered the corner gate, and when he saw this, he was shocked.

With sharp eyes, Lu Xiaomi quickly ran out and laughed, "Brother Feng, why are you here? The yard is still snowing, be careful not to slip!"

After finishing speaking, she hurriedly pulled off the cloak that was lifted by the north wind for him.The little girl's dark hair seemed to have been washed last night, and there was still a faint fragrance of flowers left at the moment, which deftly penetrated into Feng Jian's nostrils, causing his face to immediately warm up.

"It's stuffy in the room. Come out for a walk. I just heard that you have something going on here, so I'll take a look."

"Then go into the house quickly, I just asked Uncle Liu to nail the box and prepare to raise seedlings."

Lu Xiaomi supported Feng Jian's arm with one hand, led him into the wing room, and asked, "Brother Feng, you are from the south, but you have seen someone raising seedlings. I also read it in miscellaneous books. I don't know if it will work. Bottom."

Feng Jian heard it funny, and replied, "It's warm in the south, so there's no need to raise seedlings."

"Oh, isn't it, I'm so busy and confused again!"

Xiaomi also reacted, and couldn't help but also laughed.

The two stood together, the man was handsome and straight, the woman was as pretty as a flower, Lao Yang looked at him with a smile in his eyes, but Liu Xiaodao felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

He wanted to find an excuse to call Xiaomi over, but the impatient father called him to leave in a hurry and go home to prepare wood.

Xiaomi sent the father and son out, and gave some instructions, so he was relieved...

Even though spring in the Northland came late, it finally came.

As if in a flash, the first month is coming to an end.The sun in the sky sprinkled its brilliance and shone on the earth, but it was still not warm.But the north wind gradually became gentler, and there was no pain like a knife on his face.

The Liu family's father and son worked hard for half a month, and finally built an earthen stove in the east and west rooms in the backyard of the Lu family, and also put up wooden shelves, and neatly placed wooden boxes.

Boss Lu and Second Lu, who had been exhausted for the past few days, dug up the field ridges that were still frozen as hard as rocks, and dug a lot of black soil back.It wasn't until half of the yard was piled up with black soil that Xiaomi opened the golden mouth and told them to stop.
