Chapter 1043: The Lazy and Bad Sister-in-law of a Blessed Farm Girl (38)
Xu Yin smiled brightly at him: "Okay! Then we won't read. Let's learn a few more words and not be blind!"
The two of them went to the lotus pond to inspect the work progress of their cousins.
Lin Xiyun:
I dont know why, but he only drank a bowl of porridge in the morning. Although the Cui family prepared snacks for him during class, he hadnt used them yet, but he felt full at the mont.
Xu Sanqiu shook his head: "Second sister is indeed the second sister, she has been so free in school!"
He really wanted to run away. Going up the mountain to chop firewood or go to the fields to farm was more comfortable than sitting upright and listening to his teacher's lecture.
But Lin Xiyun asked: "Brother Xu, do you also rember the words taught in the last class?"
Xu Sanqiu replied weakly: "No..."
Then please take a seat! Its ti for recess.
Goudan and others covered their mouths and snickered.
Xu Sanqiu was annoyed: "Why are you laughing? Do you all rember those words?"
Well, I dont rember everything.
The boys quickly sat upright.
Lin Xiyun glanced at the girl sitting quietly in the corner trying to read, her eyebrows softened, and she cleared her throat: "Let's continue the class..."
Over there, Xu Yin followed Comrade Xiaojin to the wetland outside the lotus pond.
While walking, the two of them guessed the words they learned in the previous class for each other to deepen their impression.
When we arrived at the wetland, we heard from a distance that several cousins were envious of Dawa Village while working:
"I heard that Dawa Village is going to build a collective lotus pond. Each household will contribute to growing lotus roots and raising ducks, and they will share the money after selling them at the end of the year. It would be great if our village can build one anyti, so we can save ourselves the trouble of having to go to town to find one. live."
There is no lake in our village. What would we do without a lake?
Thats right...
Look, isnt this land quite fertile? In our village, how could this kind of land be left vacant and no one would want it?
This is called a wetland. There are wetlands everywhere in Dawa Village, and so is Xiaowa Village next door. Our village is all dry land.
There is still sandy land in our village, and the weeds at the foot of the front mountain dont even grow.
When ntioning the barren sandy land, everyone couldn't help but sigh.
It's only ten miles apart. Why is the gap so big?
Xu Yinxin said: Thats because the terrain in ihua Village, especially the area in Qianqian Mountain, is high, and any rain that falls flows to Xiaowa Village. There is not much groundwater, which causes the soil to beco dry and sandy, making it impossible to grow anything over ti.
However, you can grow waterlons.
Waterlons do not care about the soil, and even sandy soil is more suitable for its growth.
"I have a few lon seeds here. I bought them in Chunzhou Prefecture last year. I heard from the stall owner that they were introduced from the Western Regions and are suitable for planting in sandy land. However, they are not viable in paddy fields. Do you want them?" Last sumr, Xu Yin I just miss the big waterlon that is sweet and juicy and refreshing after the well water town.
Later I bought waterlon seeds in Chunzhou Prefecture and planned to plant them in spring, but the land in Dawa Village was not very suitable for growing waterlons.
The only acre of dry land at ho was reluctant to be freed, so after hesitation, he put it aside for now, thinking about making a decision after spring.
As a result, I have been busy with this and that since the spring plowing, and I even forgot about the waterlon.
If ihua Village could grow waterlons, she would not hesitate to give them the seeds so that they would have ready-made waterlons to eat in the future. How great!
Her cousins all exclaid:
What? Are there any seeds suitable for planting in sand?
Then what are you waiting for! Of course!
Xu Yin gave them the waterlon seeds.
The lon seeds she gave were not those sold to her by Chunzhou Prefecture stalls, but the best seeds stocked in the system warehouse that had been cultivated for several generations. They not only tasted good, but also had a high germination rate.
Although the cousins dont know what kind of lon this is, since it is a lon seed, they still know how to grow it.
So, when going back, one person brought back a few waterlon seeds. Xu Yin asked Xu Lidong, the leader, to bring a few pills to her third brother.
With the ntality of giving it a try, after the lon seeds sprouted, they were planted in the sandy soil at the foot of the mountain in front of ihua Village where the birds were too lazy to stay.
Each person dug a ridge and transplanted the lon seedlings there.
When other people in ihua Village saw it, they laughed at them: "You still want to grow vegetables and lons in a place where no weeds grow? You are so busy. Just look at it, or you will die in the sun in two days."
However, half a month later, soone passed by there accidentally and found that the sandy ground was covered with green lon vines. Plum Blossom Village was boiling!
The villagers gathered collectively at the hos of Xu Lidong, Xu Sanqiu and others and asked them what kind of lon they planted in the sand, and it actually grew. The vines had thick heads and looked very strong.
"I don't know what kind of lon it is. It was Erya who gave it to us. Didn't she accompany my second brother-in-law to Chunzhou Prefecture last year? She bought it there. The vendor who sold her lon seeds said they ca from the Western Regions. Brought.
Hey, dear! How can the lon seeds from the Western Regions survive here?
Sanqiu, when the lons are ripe, leave a few seeds for later!
Its the beginning of winter, can you leave a few for us?
Xu Sanqiu and others still dont know how to save lon seeds in the Western Regions, so they dare not agree. They only said that they will wait until the lons are ripe. If it is convenient to save seeds, they will definitely leave a few seeds for them.
In this way, other villagers in ihua Village are more looking forward to the ripening of waterlons than Xu Sanqiu and others. They all want to see what the lons in the Western Regions look like and whether they have many seeds. Is it enough to share with them?
However, they could not get any lon seeds this year because County Magistrate Chen heard that a patch of green lon vines had been planted in the sandy land of ihua Village. After detailed inquiries, he learned that the seeds of the lon vines belonged to Cui ngjin and his wife. I bought the lon seeds from the Western Regions when I went to see a doctor in Chunzhou Prefecture, and imdiately asked the governnt officials to take care of the lon field.
As for Xu Sanqiu, several lon growers beca lon growers hired by county governnt officials. When the lon is ripe and the stems fall off, you can receive a reward.
When Xu Sanqiu ca to Xu Yin's house for literacy class, she was very happy when she ntioned this: "This is the first ti I have been so close to the county magistrate. He even drank a bowl of water at my house! My milk even drank the county magistrate. I hid the water bowl as a treasure and said that it would be our familys heirloom from now on.
Xu Yin:
Even if the county magistrate has never drank it, it can still beco a family heirloom if it is passed down for hundreds or thousands of years.
"By the way, second sister, I am now a lon grower hired by the governnt. I have to guard the lon fields every day. Can I not co to class?" Xu Sanqiu asked Xu Yin tentatively.
This guy is really racking his brains to skip class all the ti.
Xu Yin glanced at him: "Brother Lidong and the others are also governnt-employed lon growers, why don't they still co to work here?"
Xu Yin ignored him and discussed with Lin Xiyun: "The sumr harvest is about to start. After the next class, the literacy class will have a half-month holiday for busy farming, and then resu after the sumr harvest. Three days later, which is the last class before busy farming, we will not There is a new class, and we will hold a literacy competition to summarize and comnd the learning in the past few days."
