It's hard to be a peasant girl who time-travels

Chapter 282 Growing Vegetables
After returning to the village, Mingyu and Zhong Quan tidied up the vegetable garden in the backyard, but they had trouble planting something. The husband and wife held several bags of vegetable seeds they bought and looked at each other in blank dismay.

"How about we go to grandma and ask?"

Mingyu blushed for a rare time, she had no choice, she didn't know how to grow vegetables, she knew how to sow seeds directly, but she really didn't know how to deal with the vegetables bought in front of her, which were said to need careful care, she He has never planted land, and Zhong Quan obviously doesn't know how to do it.

"That's the only way, daughter-in-law, you can go to grandma and ask, and I will open the land next to it."

As a man, he can go to the battlefield and go to the kitchen, and he can hunt on the left and collect herbs on the right. He almost thinks that he is omnipotent, and he is very proud of it, and his wife is full of admiration, but who knows, there is one thing that he does not know. Will do.

Suddenly, Zhong Quan couldn't bear to lose face, and secretly decided that after Mingyu asked Grandma Wang, he would fully control the vegetable-growing skills, and then he would grow what the wife wanted to eat.

Mingyu nodded, and said: "It's okay, it's just the beginning of spring, there's still time, we don't plant too much, don't get tired."

There was an enthusiastic discussion about planting all the vegetables you want to eat, and even made a plan for the land in the backyard. Even half of the land, the husband and wife worked together, and it only took three days to open up three points. One, it can be said that it is not positive.

But the land was opened, how to plant it, but it was difficult, and Mingyu knew that she was taking it for granted.

Mingyu went to Wang's house with the seeds bought by the two of them.

"Grandma, I'm Mingyu, are you home? I'm coming in."

The farmhouses are very simple, unless they are traveling far away, such as going to the market or going up the mountain, if they are just visiting nearby, they will not lock the courtyard door, so Mingyu is not sure if the courtyard door of the Wang family is half open. at home.

"Hey, Mingyu, you're at home, come in."

Like Mingyu's family, Grandma Wang is also in the vegetable garden in the backyard, preparing to plant vegetables, but as an old man, she is still a widowed old man, obviously her speed is very slow, and she is still plowing the land.

After Mingyu entered the courtyard, Grandma Wang happened to come out from the backyard.

Seeing Mingyu, Grandma Wang had a wrinkled smile on her face. She looked at Mingyu gently and said, "Xiaoyu, why did you come to see grandma so early today?"

Grandma Wang took Mingyu to the living room, she was very happy for Mingyu's arrival, she brought out all the melons, fruits and pastries that she couldn't bear to eat, and entertained Mingyu.

Many of these things were given by Mingyu to Grandma Wang as a filial piety, but she didn't think that grandma would not want to eat them at all. Mingyu felt a little helpless, but more of it was warm hearted.

Mingyu obeyed grandma's gaze, ate a piece of pastry, and ate some preserved fruit.

Hearing Grandma Wang's words, Mingyu said shyly, "Grandma, I'm not here to trouble you."

Speaking of which, Mingyu put the basket in his hand on the table, so that grandma could see the packets of wrapped seeds in the basket.

"These are vegetable seeds?" Upon seeing the familiar paper bag, Grandma Wang knew what it was, and looked at Mingyu with some doubts.

"Grandma is like this. We are going to grow some vegetables at home. These are the seeds our couple bought in the town. But after the land is done, we don't know how to plant these vegetable seeds. I'll come here You are here to ask for advice."

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be like this. Grandma Wang happily looked at Mingyu's blushing face. If you are not a farmer, it is normal for you not to know how to grow vegetables.

On the contrary, Mingyu didn't buy and eat everything like before, and she knew how to grow it herself, which made Grandma Wang very relieved.

"I thought it was a big deal, but it's nothing. Grandma, see what kind of seeds you have bought. There are bags of them. You are not afraid of wasting them." There are not many vegetables that can be planted in this season. I think all the vegetable seeds in the basket can be planted at this time.

It must be that the couple didn't know the season of vegetables at all, so they bought some seeds from the seed shop. After all, they are all necessary things, and the seeds won't go bad so quickly. Grandma didn't say that the couple wasted money .

After carefully opening the paper bag and looking at the seeds carefully, Grandma Wang confirmed what kind of seeds Mingyu bought, and then divided out the vegetable seeds that could be planted in this season, but there were no more than five kinds.

Leeks, beans, loofah, water spinach and eggplant.

Grandma Wang explained to Mingyu how to plant in the same way, first soaking the seeds, raising seedlings, and then planting, how to ridge the land to make the vegetables grow better, the habits of the vegetables, how to take care of them afterwards, etc., are all an old man for a lifetime Mingyu listened carefully and wrote down everything Grandma Wang said.

"Mingyu, these are vegetable seeds, but your family is small, so you don't need to plant so many of them. Grandma sees that your home is quite big, so it's better to grow some coarse grains, which can be sold for money and can be used as food."

After all, the Zhong family, like the Wang family, has no land and cannot grow rice, but sweet potatoes, soybeans, taro and peanuts are all food in the farm. The garden may not be big, but it can't be wasted. Vegetables are enough to eat That's fine, if you plant too much, you can't eat it or sell it for a little money, and it's really a pity if it grows old and rots on the ground.

"Grandma, I know, I bought it at home, but it's not easy to bring it here, so I just want to ask grandma."

In ancient times, Mingyu certainly knew the importance of food. In the village, the Zhong family had no land, but in other places, Zhong Quan bought Zhuangzi and the land, rented them out for others to grow, and could harvest three floors every year. Rent food.

Those who saved them were no worse than the two husband and wife farming. Zhong Quan even dug a big cellar under the yard to store grain. In case of natural disasters and man-made disasters, grain is a life-saving thing.

How could the two ignore it, especially Zhong Quan, who had fought in the war, was even more fancy about food.

But like sweet potatoes and soybeans, it is better to grow some by yourself.

"That's good, that's good." Hearing Mingyu said that she was ready, Grandma Wang nodded, and then said: "Those things are more troublesome, taro and beans are simple, they can be grown in the field, sweet potatoes are more complicated, grandma and you Go back and do it together, grandma won't worry if you let the two of you do it."

What Grandma Wang is most afraid of is that the young couple don't understand, wasting seeds and wasting energy in vain, so she decided to guide and help from the sidelines.

Sweet potato Mingyu is not difficult at all, as long as it is planted in the field, it will be fine. Why does grandma say it is the most difficult?

Mingyu was puzzled, but it didn't look like grandma was joking. Thinking of the sweet potatoes that had been dug and planted by the two of them, she felt a little guilty, but she didn't refuse grandma's kindness.

Grandma is also a man of action, she said to go and have a look, and she was going to take Mingyu to Zhong's house immediately, Mingyu couldn't stop her.

But also because of this, Mingyu saw the fresh soil on Grandma Wang's shoes, plus Grandma Wang came out from the backyard before, and immediately guessed that Grandma Wang was just like them in arranging the vegetable garden. Growing vegetables.

Looking at Grandma Wang's old body, Mingyu suddenly became annoyed. She had forgotten that she was only enjoying the fun of farming with Zhong Quan, and she forgot that Grandma Wang was alone at home with no one to help. The ground also becomes hard in winter.

After a winter, the land is not only hard, but also has stubborn grass roots. I think that even with the help of a powerful man like Zhong Quan, I still suffer from back pain. One can imagine how hard it would be for grandma alone up.

She also vowed to be filial to grandma, even forgetting the most basic.

But Mingyu didn't say anything at this time, she had already decided in her heart that when grandma went back, Zhong Quan would go back with grandma and tidy up the garden for grandma.
