Chapter 74 Solving the Fertilizer Problem
So the people working for Li Haitang in Lijia Village have a new task these days, collecting these rotten leaves in the forest.It's just that no one knows what these leaves are used for. Anyway, they give money as usual every day, just do it.

"Haitang, can this method work?" Gu Yongjia asked suspiciously. Out of curiosity, he had read many books on agriculture, but he hadn't found the method used by Li Haitang.

"Well, you'll know if you try it, but I think it will work for sure. You can see that no one fertilizes the trees in the forest, but they all grow stronger. I guess it should be the credit of these rotten leaves. Feeding the trees is very important. If it can be so good, if it feeds the crops, the effect should be better, right?" Li Haitang naturally can't say that this is the method used by farmers in some poor places in later generations, and can only say that it is his own guess that needs to be practiced to know whether it works or not.

"Well, if it doesn't work, don't worry, just go to the town and buy the reconciled fertilizer." Gu Yongjia smiled.

Li Haitang nodded: "By the way, not all of this field will be planted with grapes, only half of it will be planted, and the rest will be used for grain. It's just that this hillside has been barren for many years, and even if it is fertilized this winter, the land cannot be nourished. Come here, so let's plant some beans and sesame seeds to raise the land well, and then start planting wheat and the like in the next year."

Gu Yongjia didn't quite understand this, but seeing Li Haitang's solemnity, he nodded: "You can figure it out yourself."

"By the way, Dongsheng Dongmei, I want to find an enlightenment teacher and let them start studying." Li Haitang thought for a while and said.

"I urge them to study every day, why do I need Mr. Enlightenment?" Gu Yongjia's face was a little cold, thinking that Li Haitang wanted to draw a line with himself.

Li Haitang rolled his eyes at him: "If you want to study by yourself, then you must waste a lot of energy teaching them. Among other things, I know that your status is different from mine, and you must have a lot of things to do in the future. If all the time is wasted on Dongsheng and Dongmei, then the loss outweighs the gain. If you are worried that the master can't teach them well, you can take the time to check it."

Seeing that Li Haitang didn't have the intention to draw a line with him, Gu Yongjia's expression softened: "I'll ask them later, if they don't want to learn from the husband, I will continue to teach them. .”

Li Haitang nodded, that's fine, children's minds are more sensitive, if not handled well, it will easily cause them to think wildly.

After the two talked for a while, Gu Yongjia turned around and went back to his yard.

Li Haitang got into the kitchen, preparing to make some snacks for the Gu family.Because of studying, the two of Dongsheng and Dongmei almost lived and ate at Gu's house. In addition, during the winemaking period, they were quite busy, so it was Gu Su's who took care of them.

After working for two hours, Li Haitang made a plate of white sugar sesame cakes and a plate of mung bean cakes. There was no oven in this ancient time. Making these things exhausted her.

These days, as long as there is time, Li Haitang will make some snacks. Not only Li Dongsheng and Li Dongmei are willing to eat, Gu Yongjia always complains in private that she makes too little, and everyone is not happy to share a little bit.

"Wow." Li Dongsheng rushed forward enthusiastically when he saw Li Haitang, "Sister, you haven't made dim sum for several days."

"You little brat, I haven't noticed you are so greedy before." Li Haitang poked Li Dongsheng's brains.

Li Dongsheng bared his teeth and shouted in pain: "Eldest sister, it was because we couldn't even fill our stomachs, okay?"

Li Dongmei's performance was not as exaggerated as Li Dongsheng's, but she was still very happy.First he took one piece to Gu Sushi, another piece to Gu Yongjia, and another piece to Li Haitang, and then he took a piece and ate it in small bites.

"Well, our Dongmei is becoming more and more ladylike." Li Haitang praised with a smile.

Li Dongmei not only learns how to read and write from Gu Yongjia, but also learns female celebrities from Gu Sushi on weekdays. He also has strict requirements on etiquette. Pay great attention.

"Haitang, don't work so hard. You seem to have lost a little weight recently." Gu Sushi held Li Haitang's hand with some distress and told her.

"Where is it, Aunt Gu, I just grew taller, which makes me look thinner." Li Haitang smiled, and he has never been strict about eating now. The former owner's body was seriously deficient in nutrition. If you don't take good care of it, your body will definitely not grow well in the future. If it is short and washboard, what should you do?

Gu Yongjia secretly looked at Li Haitang, but she seemed to have grown a little taller, if she hadn't said it herself, she really didn't notice any difference after meeting all day.It's good to grow taller, otherwise, she will always look like bean sprouts, making people feel that she is not good enough to eat.

"You can't become thinner even if you grow taller." Gu Su complained, "Haitang, just tell them what to do in the future. You don't have to do it yourself. You are thin and weak, and people feel distressed when they see it."

Da Zhou was not a dynasty that regarded thinness as beauty. On the contrary, slightly plump women were regarded as having a good body and good fertility.

"Aunt Gu, you don't have to worry. I'm growing tall now, so I won't gain weight. When I'm about the same size, I'll start to gain weight." Li Haitang explained that he was so concerned about being so caring. , for her who was an orphan in her previous life, besides being moved, she was also moved.

"By the way, Aunt Gu, September will be over soon, and it will be the first day of October. I am thinking about sending some tributes to my mother and burning some paper money." Li Haitang said, originally he wanted to ask his father Come, but I was afraid of bringing up Li Yulin's sad things, so I spoke to Gu Sushi.

After hearing Li Haitang's words, Gu Su's face showed embarrassment, he opened his mouth several times, but he didn't say anything.

"What's the matter, Aunt Gu?" Li Haitang was very puzzled, did he have some scruples, so he didn't want to?
"Sigh." Gu Su sighed, "Haitang, your mother doesn't even have a grave, where are you going to burn paper money for the tribute?"

Gu Sushi originally thought that Li Haitang was a child after all, and she wouldn't feel at ease about these things, so she didn't say anything about it, but she didn't expect the little girl to ask it herself, and she had to do it as a last resort Son said it.

"Aunt Gu, what's going on here?" Li Haitang was full of puzzlement, the ancient people paid attention to where they were born and where they returned.If this Li Gao family has no grave, then he died without even getting out. How is this possible?
"I don't know the specific reason, but I heard that your grandma didn't want your mother to enter the Li family's cemetery, saying it was unlucky or something. Your father's struggle was fruitless, and he had no choice but to find your mother. The place was bought hastily. Because you can't enter the cemetery, you can't even raise the head of the grave..." Gu Su said helplessly, talking about this, she was also heartbroken.

It's Li Zhao's business again, this dead old woman.Li Haitang could almost foresee how unwelcome her mother would be in the Li family when she was alive.
