Chapter 72 What kind of vegetables are good to grow?
Unexpectedly, everyone helped Bai Lu to speak. Liu Cuilan couldn't bear to lose face, so she pinched her daughter-in-law and said, "The elbow is turned out!"
Xie Lihua's arm was pinched so hard that her eyes turned red instantly, but she didn't dare to cry, "Mom, I didn't."
"Wait until my son comes back and see if he doesn't deal with you properly!"
"Mom, let's think carefully about which piece of land to choose?" Xie Lihua wiped her tears quickly, "Should we choose the top piece or the bottom piece?"
Liu Cuilan said directly without thinking: "Of course it's from the top!"
"But it's really difficult to climb up to the top...and I'm afraid it will be too hot in the summer, and the vegetable seedlings will be wilted as soon as they grow."
"What do you know? Vegetables need to be exposed to the sun to grow well! Besides, we farmers are used to farm work, let alone watering three centimeters of land every day, even if we climb high mountains to water three acres of land
Down!"
Too lazy to listen to Mrs. Liu's bragging anymore, Lin Yulan walked to the vegetable patch on the right with little Jinbao in her arms.
"Sister-in-law Su, Aunt Liu is just a mouthful. Don't take what she said to heart." Lin Yulan comforted her.
Bai Lu smiled and said, "I'm used to hearing those words. If I really cared, I would have been pissed to death hundreds of times."
After saying that, she looked at Lin Yulan and said, "Yulan, don't call me Sister-in-law Su anymore. It sounds weird. You are only two years younger than me. Just call me Bai Lu."
"This...how is this so embarrassing?"
"What are you embarrassed about? If you think it's not nice to be called by your first and last name, just call me Xiaobai, haha, it sounds better than Sister-in-law Su."
After hearing what Bai Lu said, Lin Yulan's face turned red, "Well, can I call you like Dr. Yang?"
Bai Lu was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Okay! Then just call me Lulu, haha."
"Okay... okay." Lin Yulan felt joyful and indescribable.
They walked to the edge of the weed field on the far right and saw that there was a one-centimeter plot of land just above the three centimeters of land, so they decided that the two families would choose these two adjacent plots of land.
Everyone else was still picking and hesitating, but Lin Yulan had already started shouting to Zhang Guangmao: "Director Zhang, we have already made our choice!"
For a moment, everyone's eyes were focused on her.
Zhang Guangmao walked up with a registration book and a pen in his hand, "Are you sure you have chosen this land?"
"Yes, I choose this one, Sister-in-law Su... That, Lulu's family belongs to this one." Speaking of the affectionate name "Lulu", Lin Yulan's smile became even brighter.
Li Qinghua’s face was so long, bam! It was also revealing, it was really disgusting...
"If no one else has any objections, then these two pieces of land are yours, as long as you sign my signature."
After Zhang Guangmao finished speaking, Li Qinghua, who was a few meters away, asked loudly: "What should I do if I have any objections?"
"If you have an opinion, just draw lots. Whoever catches it will be his. It's the fairest!"
After Zhang Guangmao explained, he looked back at Li Qinghua, "Comrade Xiao Li, do you want the land that Comrade Xiao Lin chose?"
"Wait a minute, I'll go up and take a look!" Li Qinghua trotted over to the vegetable patch chosen by Lin Yulan and took a look, "tsk tsk" and shook her head.
"What are you tutting at?" Lin Yulan looked at Li Qinghua who was stomping back and forth on the vegetable patch with disgust and said angrily.
"The weeds are growing happily, and the vegetables are all dead. I thought you, Lin Yulan, are so capable, but you don't even know this. Haha, don't worry, no one will compete with you for this weed field."
After Li Qinghua finished speaking, she walked away laughing.
Hearing what she said, no one else was interested in the vegetable patch full of weeds. "Director Zhang, we don't want it either."
"Since everyone has no objections, then sign next to these two numbers." Zhang Guangmao handed the registration book and pen to Bai Lu.
Bai Lu took the pen and quickly signed her name, then hugged Jinbao with one hand and gave the pen and book to Lin Yulan with the other.
Lin Yulan felt a little unsure.
Although what Yao Hua said just now is reasonable and well-founded, to farmers, weeds are harmful weeds. They are tenacious and difficult to get rid of. If they are removed today, they will grow again tomorrow...
In those vegetable fields overgrown with weeds, the vegetables must be wilting.
When she was a child, her father told her that the eggs of those pests would be hidden in the weeds, just waiting to eat vegetables.
Oops! Never mind!
We have already agreed with Lulu to choose these two pieces of land, so we can’t go back on our word temporarily, right?
At worst, you can grow some inferior vegetables and make people laugh.
Lin Yulan struggled in her heart, and finally made up her mind and wrote her name on the vegetable plot division registration book.
They took the lead in choosing the vegetable plot, and before it was noon, they quickly went home with little Jinbao in their arms.
Others worked hard until the afternoon, and several of them almost suffered from heatstroke in the bright sun.
Su Jianmin came back in the evening and asked about the factory's use of wasteland to grow vegetables.
"Yulan and I made the choice together in the morning. We chose a place that is not very high but will not accumulate water," Bai Lu said.
Her sons all asked excitedly: "What vegetables do we grow at home?"
"Director Zhang said that we should choose three kinds of vegetable seeds from a dozen kinds. I haven't decided which vegetables to plant yet. You and your son should discuss it carefully."
The family had a heated debate over which three vegetables should be planted in the vegetable patch.
Some talk about growing eggplants, some talk about growing fungus, and some talk about growing beans and cabbage.
"Hua Hua said it's good to grow bitter melons," Bai Lu suddenly mentioned Hua Hua's idea, "He said that the growth cycle of bitter melons in summer is only 40 to 50 days, which is a short period. If the stems and vines grow well, they will continue to bloom and bear fruit as long as the temperature is suitable...
…”
Before her mother could finish speaking, Su Xiaosi's little face had wrinkled into a small bitter melon, "I don't want bitter melon, I want to eat melon."
"You have never eaten bitter melon since you were a child. Maybe you will like it very much."
"No, no, no. Vegetables with the word "bitter" taste unpleasant when they sound like it. Eating wild vegetables every day is bitter enough. I don't want bitter melon. I want to eat eggplants. Plant eggplants and plant eggplants!"
After Su Xiaosi shouted, his second brother also shouted: "I want to eat beans, stir-fried beans with meat, and braised beans with noodles. Mom, can you plant beans?"
Bai Lu patted their foreheads gently, "Stop arguing and listen to what your father said."
The whole family's eyes were focused on Su's father. He was holding his chin with one hand, as if he was thinking hard, "Well..."
"Daddy..." Little Jinbao, who was held in her mother's arms, stretched out her hands and leaned her little body in the direction of her father.
Su Jianmin smiled and hugged Jinbao, "Oh, my little baby."
He pinched her little face lovingly and asked, "What kind of vegetables does Jin Bao want to grow?"
The little baby girl blinked her big eyes and said cutely, "Guagua..."
"Guagua? Jinbao, do you want to eat bitter melon?"
Jin Bao shook his head hurriedly, "Gua... Guagua..."
Everyone in the old Su family looked at each other and guessed a few vegetables with melons, such as sweet potatoes, winter melons, etc. Jin Bao shook his head repeatedly, "Melons..."
Her third brother Su Wenian asked hesitantly: "Does Jinbao want to eat pumpkin?"
"Yeah!" Xiao Jinbao nodded happily. The pumpkin is sweet and makes you full. You can make pumpkin porridge, pumpkin cakes, pumpkin balls, pumpkin cakes, pumpkin soup... there are too many.
