Lady Caisang: My husband is a little sweet

Chapter 59 Predicting the coming year
Disappointed, Gu Qingya carefully read the books that appeared in Zangshu Pavilion, some of them may be useless, but it is still possible to improve her knowledge.

And reading books is not without gain. In the book "Gardening Notes", Gu Qingya saw some introductions about composting.

Generally speaking, there are two methods of fertilizer in rural areas, fire dung and cesspit. The second method is actually not so good. The main fertilizer is fire dung.

So after seeing various introductions about composting, Gu Qingya couldn't help but her eyes lit up. She couldn't understand those inexplicable names, but the fertilizer produced by these methods seemed to be very good, and there was no need for strict regulations. Conditions, she can give it a try.

And the method is really not difficult, there are so many things that Gu Qingya can do independently at home, it's not difficult to do an experiment.

It happened that there were two broken vats at home, and Gu Qingya decided to use them for experimentation. Poultry excrement, dead branches and leaves were easy to obtain. As for earthworms, there were quite a few of them after digging around the lake.

Yes, Gu Qingya decided to experiment with two methods, one is vermicomposting, and the other is pure composting, both of which take about the same amount of time.

Seeing her daughter tormenting, Gu just asked a question and ignored it. On the contrary, Yan's father was more interested. He said that every flower in the crops depends on manure. Fertilizers are always a point of concern for farmers. After all, the fertility of the soil is limited.

Seeing that Yan's father was interested, Gu Qingya didn't hide it, and explained her method. The second phase of earthworm composting is equivalent to raising earthworms. This is the favorite delicacy of chickens and ducks, and there is no loss for the family.

In a blink of an eye, it is the Cold Clothes Festival. Because the weather this year is colder than in previous years, everyone pays more attention to this year's Cold Clothes Festival. Everyone believes that the Yin and Yang are connected.

I have papers of various colors at home, and I started folding clothes and trousers early on, or cutting out shapes and sticking them with paste. Some families with a good family background will also use colored paper to paste carriages, houses and gardens. No less than other festivals.

And on this day, people generally do not go out, especially women and children, let alone drop by.When the sun was setting in the afternoon, everyone put the prepared paper clothes and paper money into the folded paper bundles. The names of the ancestors and the names of the descendants who worshiped for them were written on the paper bundles, and they put them at the door. Just put it on the low table.

Father Yan led Yan Qinghe to the small intersection not far from the door of the house. There were a lot of fruits, vegetables and pastries in the basket, as well as some paper money and paper clothes, which were for those lonely souls.

After confirming that the paper money, paper clothes, etc. were all burned to ashes, the father and son returned to the door, lit incense and worshiped, and led the whole family to kowtow, and then lit the paper money, paper clothes, etc. beside them.

After a large pile of paper clothes and paper money was burned to ashes, only a small black pile remained. A gust of wind blew up the ashes and scattered them to nowhere.

After Fang waited for the ashes to be blown away by the wind, she murmured something, Gu Qingya stood close and listened to a few words, "It's cold this year, I'll send you all the clothes, please dress well Warm, if you are hungry or cold, just dream about it..."

When Gu Qingya heard this, she felt a little sour in her heart. At this time, there was the cry of that man and woman blowing along the wind, and there was a family member who had passed away for less than three years. This kind of tone made people want to Weeping.

On this day, everyone didn't eat much, and went to bed early. The next day was the solar term light snow, and the temperature seemed to be lower again.

Father Yan went out to have a look at the field, and was quite happy when he came back, "The temperature is low this year, and the insect eggs in the field should freeze to death, so as not to spoil the crops next year."

"Father, the temperature is relatively low this year. Will there be any changes in the solar terms in the coming year?" Some big weather changes, the omens appeared early, and it depends on whether anyone pays attention.

Fang's mood was still a little depressed, after listening to Gu Qingya's words, he thought for a while and said: "It is right to store more food this year, and I am afraid that the production will be reduced a lot next year."

Father Yan came back to his senses, and his expression became a bit serious, "What Mother said is true, but I forgot. Fortunately, we still have a well in our house, so we don't have to worry about drinking water."

Gu Qingya also reacted now, "Grandma, do you mean that there will be a drought next year?" If this is the case, then life will be really hard.

"When I was young, there was snow in the winter, and many people died of freezing. In the next year, there was a severe drought, and many people died. So once the weather is abnormal, it means that the weather in the coming year will not be calm."

"But our side is a water town, so it should be alright, there are many lakes and rivers." In addition, it is backed by mountains, so it shouldn't be too bad. Gu Qingya felt that it might be sad for a while, but it wouldn't be too chaotic.

"The dried vegetables you made are very good. All the vegetables in the field can be dried or pickled." Fang confessed that in times of disaster, don't panic if you have food in your hand.

October [-]th is the Xiayuan Festival. The so-called Heavenly Officials' Day of Relief of Misfortune is still very important. In addition to worshiping ancestors, this day is mainly to pray to the gods to bless the whole family with safety and success.

Many people have paid attention to the weather changes this year, and there are not many experienced elderly people who have made a lot of preparations to deal with it.However, some people think that these years have been smooth, the country is rich and the people are safe, and if there is a disaster year, the court will not ignore it, nor will it fail to buy something, and they don't care that much.

But no matter what, everyone still prayed very devoutly, hoping that the coming year will have good weather and a good harvest.

In the cold winter, there is not much farm work. Many people stay at home to raise fat, and those who have looms creak all day long. People who don't teach this skill are envious and jealous.

At the same time, winter is also a time for drinking weddings, many weddings are held here, Yan's father and Gu's family have already gone to help several families.

Gu Qingya took a chance to find Yan Sujin, and wanted to see what the Li Chang's family had planned for the coming year.After all, the Li Chang's family has relatives who work in the car dealership and are well-informed. Like the previous sweet potato, it was also promoted by his family, so some of their family's decisions are often some weather vanes in the village.

"Sister Sujin, have you settled on your marriage?" Gu Qingya was also curious, what kind of family would Yan Sujin choose for a family like the head of the village?

"Not yet, my grandma said to wait another year, let's see." The elder mother-in-law is a very wise person. With the winter weather this year, she quickly predicted the situation of the next year, so she had no choice but to take care of her granddaughter's lifelong event. Of course we have to think about it again.

The village chief's mother-in-law has prestige in the village, but mainly because of her status as the village chief, some of her divination abilities are not well known.In the countryside, there are many women who are engaged in divination about silkworms, and nine out of ten are inaccurate, and many people like to test.

But the elder mother-in-law is not easy to test. If she does, there are eight out of ten that they are all the same. However, not many people dare to ask her to come here, so she is a little bit quiet.
