Su Yuanyuan means to wait until the wheat is planted, but now she doesn't know how much wheat will be used.
The third grandfather, like Su Yuanyuan, has now begun to grow vegetables in the yard. In fact, the two yards are almost the same, with more than an acre of land. The vegetables can be enough to feed the family, and they can also plant different varieties.
There were corianders in Su Yuanyuan's space, but she didn't know if they could survive? So she soaked the roots in water from the Spiritual Spring and planted them outside. There were about twenty of them, just waiting to be seeded so they could be planted next year.
The same procedure applies to carrots. I thought of growing carrots because I saw Zhao Yanli's mouth rotten. To be honest, there are many more vegetables this year than in previous years.
The Li family also took away a bundle of film from Su Yuanyuan, and the vegetables in their yard were covered in this way.
Beans, leeks, green onions, garlic, and ginger.
After everything was planted, the soil was plowed.
The Su Yuanyuan family's donkeys can be led without a lead, but the Li family's can't. Shao Guang is leading the donkeys in front, and Li Hongxiang is supporting Huo Zi from behind.
Because the water in the ground is not that high now, you can sow directly. Both families put sowing drains on their awnings, and now the speed is much faster than others.
Wheat is planted first, and there is actually nothing mysterious about the work in the fields. Soon the third son of the Li family got started. The Li family's progress was faster than that of Su Yuanyuan.
Li Liyun was wading behind with her feet in the soil to cover the seeds.
Every household is working, and now they are planting wheat, all of which are wheat seeds bought from the field department.
If you look up at the farm, you will see little black dots. Those are people working. Because they are too far away.
Su Yuanyuan planted 20 acres less wheat than the Li family, so she finished planting two days earlier than others.
Next is corn, which is an essential food to grow here.
Li Liyun also knew that it was beautiful, so she wrapped herself very tightly like Su Yuanyuan. Fortunately, the temperature is not bad now.
After the corn was planted, Su Yuanyuan drove the car to pick up the chicks the next day. She also brought a straw curtain to protect the chicks from the wind.
I came back and gave the Zhao family the thirty chicks and five geese they ordered, and took the rest home.
The Li family asked for ten chickens and ten ducks, and five of them were hungry.
Because both of their families are close to water, it is convenient for them to raise ducks.
Su Yuanyuan has already released a lot of small fish into the reservoir at night.
I used to think about using the reservoir to raise fish specifically, but I no longer have this idea. After all, this belongs to the big guys, and you can’t say anything about raising fish.
After coming back, the chicks were raised in the house for a while. Although others helped raise them for more than ten days, they were still too small.
She had made inquiries in the village and found out that there were piglets for takeout. The Zhao family wanted two, the Li family wanted one, and Su Yuanyuan wanted two.
When the rest of the farm knew about it, some of them went to the village to buy some, but most of them bought more chickens.
She didn't help the Li family. They had to adapt as soon as possible. To be honest, one hundred acres of land was quite a lot, but that was all.
Family changes make people grow up quickly, and the Li family's two eleven-year-old children are now very capable.
Now I just plant seedlings in the yard, which took two days to complete.
Now the corn in the Li family's field has been planted. The third generation is also planting vegetable seedlings.
Next came the potatoes and sweet potatoes, which had to be ridden first because there were little donkeys, so it wasn’t really that tiring. They just had to stay in the fields all day.
Twenty days later, all the potatoes and sweet potatoes were planted in the field.
The cotton seedlings can also be planted. The cotton from Su Yuanyuan’s space has not yet been sold out. This year, Ma Changshun also took seeds from her, and said that the farm might purchase the cotton seedlings directly.
In fact, this is quite good, except that there is no cottonseed oil. But it should be included in the calculation.
By the end of June, all the land has been planted, and the wheat has now reached calf height. Now we are just waiting for the rain to apply fertilizer.
The Zhao family took away four tons from here, the Li family asked for three tons, and Su Yuanyuan used the rest herself. This year, she did not give it to the field department.
However, Feng Baoshan has been unable to close his mouth these days. The winter wheat in the experimental field is about to be harvested. Looking at the heavy ears of wheat, it will definitely be a good harvest. A batch of winter wheat can be planted this year.
In fact, the yield of winter wheat is higher than that of spring wheat, but it is too cold here, so winter wheat is generally not successful.
Su Yuanyuan thought that she would plant thirty acres of winter wheat this year. She would have to wait for the spring wheat to be harvested before the land could be freed up.
This year she was just as lazy as ever. There wasn't much grass in the cornfield, so she just pretended it wasn't there. However, the grass in the cornfield had to be taken care of, and this really couldn't be fooled.
Now the corn seedlings have reached calf height, so we just use a big hoe to weed them.
The first hoeing of twenty acres of cornfield took twenty days.
The grass in the cotton field will soon be gone. There is no other way, so the sweet potato field and potatoes will be left until the end.
After all, after the cotton fields are hoed, the corn fields must be cleared.
This time, Su Yuanyuan fertilized the corn first, then cleared the corn after it had sprouted, so that the soil could be covered with fertilizer.
And at night, she secretly used her powers to get a lot of soil embryos, and wanted to build a separate house for the livestock. This year's chickens, ducks and geese are about to lay eggs. She still wants to go outside in the winter, these poultry
That's the problem.
It's a bit embarrassing to ask Zhao Yanli to help with so many animals. After all, they still have to make shoes in winter.
If it really doesn't work, I have to kill them, but I can't bear to do it, because they always secretly give them to the small fish to eat, so the chickens and ducks can pick up eggs every day, and the geese have one egg every two days.
The little pig already weighs one hundred and forty or fifty pounds now, and he will be able to weigh two hundred pounds by the time autumn comes.
She didn't have time to visit the other two families. She didn't know how their livestock were doing.
Every day is as busy as a spinning top. The lambs are already half-grown, and the horses are passing by. All of them are sold, except for the old ewes, which really cannot be sold.
The Li family also bought two sheep. Li Hongxiang meant to kill them in the winter so that the third son could have a change of taste.
This is the difference between rich and poor people. Poor people try their best to save money, while rich people try their best to get food and will not wrong themselves.
Now Su Yuanyuan spends her days breaking off branches from cotton stalks and catching bugs, which is quite a tedious job anyway.
That day Li Hongxiang came over and said, "Girl, I'm going to the city. Is there anything you want?"
"Sir, I don't need anything. What do you want to buy?"
"Just some daily necessities."
Su Yuanyuan sent Li Hongxiang away and then continued to work. She really didn't lack anything.
