Chapter 462 Spring Sowing
So when it comes to spring planting, they are still very tired!
By the time all the food in the two baking trays had been eaten, the stars in the sky had come out.
A few people chatted while eating some fruit after the meal, talking about the things that needed to be prepared for spring planting.
After they had finished talking, Qi Rui and Rufeng were eager to go back.
If they don't go back, the Zhou family will drive back.
When the two sides met, there was inevitably some greetings.
For him, it is better to have less trouble than more, so it is better to return to the camp early.
After sending the people away, the three sisters of the Zhou family began to clean up the yard. They gave the bones and other things as rewards to Hu Zi. It was much easier with Hu Zi around.
"Big sister, please go sit aside. You don't need to get involved in this little matter. My second sister and I will finish it quickly."
Seeing that Zhou Mingqin was also busy moving things, Zhou Mingshu quickly stepped forward to stop her.
"Okay then, I'll go sit in your room for a while."
"Okay, go ahead."
Zhou Ming also kept a little squirrel in his study. Zhou Mingqin took a small hammer, cracked the nuts on the table one by one and threw them into the little squirrel's bowl, watching the little guy jumping around excitedly.
She smiled slightly and sat down on the soft bed to rest.
As it got dark, the temperature outside dropped rapidly, so she put on the coat she had taken off at noon.
As soon as Hajime turned around, he saw the painting on the desk.
Hey~ Aren’t these what Lord Qi and San Ya were drawing this afternoon? !
Looking at the pictures one by one, Zhou Mingqin couldn't help but sigh, what beautiful paintings!
Even if she had ten pairs of hands, she couldn't draw such a lifelike picture.
When she turned to the end, she saw a unique painting.
The closer I look at the girl in the painting, the more I feel she looks like San Ya.
What does it mean to look like Sanya? This is clearly Sanya...
Judging from the style of painting, it should be Lord Qi's style, but why would he paint his own sister?
Is it really as Arya said...
Zhou Mingqin was shocked by her own idea. The candlestick in her hand trembled and almost burned such a beautiful painting.
She was so scared that she quickly put the painting aside. No matter who the person in the painting was, she couldn't burn such a good painting.
She put down the candlestick, sat obediently beside the bed, pulled over a corner of the quilt to cover herself to keep warm, and waited for her family to come back.
After Zhou Mingqi and Zhou Mingshu washed the pots and pans, they started to add more water to the pot. For a moment, they didn't pay attention to what Zhou Mingqin was doing, and naturally didn't realize that their little secret had been discovered.
-
Within a few days, the vigorous spring potato planting in Lianglin Village began.
Almost all villagers who were able to move took part in this project.
They didn't ask for anything else, just to be able to harvest more different vegetables during the harvest, and they also wanted to try the dishes that the officials liked.
Those who have land should contribute their land, and those who have strength should contribute their strength.
While the men worked in the fields, the women would collect firewood and help pick and cut vegetables, which was also considered a contribution.
In the end, everyone can get some wages, and they are all happy to do these things.
As soon as the order came down from above, everyone felt that there were many benefits to growing potatoes, and they all started to grow them.
Fortunately, the Zhou family left enough potato seeds, otherwise there would not be enough for everyone to plant.
Even the children in the village were not idle. They used bamboo clips to turn over insects in the fields to feed the chickens, or they were busy collecting wild vegetables in the fields.
Even the chickens, ducks and geese in the village came out to look for food.
Because of the spring planting, all the weeds and vegetables on the ground had been dug up. If not now, when else? It didn't take any effort for them.
Qi Rui also arrived at the scene and personally supervised the soldiers' work.
The soldiers who helped the Zhou family plant potatoes last year were assigned to be team leaders, each leading a team.
They have tasted the wonderful taste of potatoes and witnessed the huge yield of potatoes, so they are willing to work and want to work from the bottom of their hearts.
With these potatoes, the people of Daliang will no longer have to worry about having nothing to eat, and their parents, brothers and sisters will no longer have to worry about going hungry.
They are looking forward to planting potatoes on every inch of land in Daliang as soon as possible.
"Mingshu, with so many people participating in the planting, I'm afraid it won't be long before the open space around here is full of plants."
Zhou Mingshu looked at the large group of people working in the fields and laughed so hard that his eyes disappeared.
"Everyone is very motivated. I think we may be able to finish the work a few days ahead of schedule."
"Well, you don't have to put too much pressure on yourself. I see that you have lost some weight in the past few days."
Zhou Mingshu touched her chubby cheeks. Has she lost weight? Is the master joking?
"No, I think I've gained some weight. Maybe the sun has been too strong these days and I'm a little tanned. I'll put on a sun hat now."
Zhou Mingshu ran home in a hurry, took his hat and put it on.
Fortunately, the adults reminded her. If she continued to stay in the sun like this, she would get tanned before summer comes.
"Sir, I've got a basket. Let's go to the foot of the mountain. The wild vegetables in the mountains are growing well now. It would be a pity if we don't try some."
"Okay, let's go together and dig more."
Qi Rui also followed with a shovel.
"Not only have wild vegetables grown, but spring bamboo shoots and mushrooms have also begun to emerge. If we weren't busy with spring planting, my sisters and I would have to pick more to take back."
"If you like to eat, pick more. They will do the work in the fields, so you don't need to worry about it."
Qi Rui dug the wild onions at hand, paused and continued.
"You, you just love to worry. In fact, you should believe in other people's abilities. Compared with you, the men and women in the village have eaten more salt than you have walked. In their eyes, these potato seeds are life-saving things, and they cherish them very much. If they don't understand something, they will come to ask you. According to their practice, they will not damage a single seed at will..."
"My Lord, I know what you mean. Look, I am accompanying you to dig wild vegetables. I am a little girl with limited abilities. Fortunately, thanks to you, I have time to 'idle around'."
These words made Qi Rui laugh out loud.
"You devilish girl, I feel sorry for you, but I didn't expect you to tease me. Let's see if I will help you in the future."
"Of course I have to help. Without the help of adults, many things can't be done. I still need the support of adults."
"Hmm? Thighs?"
Qi Rui looked at his strong and powerful thighs. He had never seen her hug such beautiful legs.
"Hehe, it means to have a backer."
"Oh, I see. You can hug my thighs anytime you want."
After Qi Rui finished speaking, the two of them just squatted there and laughed heartily.
"Okay, let's hurry up and pick some wild vegetables, or we'll be late for lunch."
After laughing, the two continued to dig wild onions and wild shepherd's purse. After digging enough, they picked some wild chrysanthemum.
If it wasn't getting late, Zhou Mingshu would have to go to the bamboo forest.
