Chapter 280 Planting Completed
"Yeah, okay, I've got everything ready here, I'll be with you guys this afternoon."
Most of the saplings are flower and fruit saplings, none of them are as tall as a person. After the branches are trimmed, even a ten-year-old child can move them.
"Sanya, when will we plant the flower seedlings in the yard?"
"There's no rush for these. Let's wait until all the saplings outside are planted. Not all of them may survive."
"That's true. Trees have tempers. If they are growing well but you suddenly move them to a new place, it's easy for them to fail."
The three sisters chatted while eating, and after eating, they lay on the bed and rested for a while.
"I forgot to show you something."
Zhou Mingshu pulled out a drawing from the desk, which showed the blueprint of a small garden.
"Sanya, what is this?"
"This is my plan for our small garden. We'll plant peonies here, which usually bloom in May. We'll plant jasmine next to them, which usually blooms from May to August. When the peonies fall, we can plant jasmines to take their place. We'll plan other places in the same way. In this way, the flowers will continue to bloom, and there will be chrysanthemums in autumn and plum blossoms in winter..."
The flower beds should be low and some low, and well-arranged. Later, you can build a pavilion in the appropriate place, move in a few rockery, and divert a small canal, and the artistic conception will be even more beautiful.
Sprinkle some seeds that are easy to bloom, such as sunflowers or Oxalis, on the outside, and it will look like a paradise on earth at first glance.
When Zhou Mingshu told his plan, the two sisters Zhou Mingqin and Zhou Mingqi cheered with joy.
"Okay, okay, let's do it this way. Sanya, you've been so thoughtful!"
"We don't know much about this, so we'll just listen to you. We'll just do the weeding and the work."
The flower bed on the blueprint was divided into many sections. Zhou Mingshu explained it in detail to his two sisters so that they could give instructions when they started working in the afternoon.
The other workers were only responsible for digging holes and planting. With them directing the work, everyone knew where to dig the holes.
After three days of planting, the entire flower and vegetable garden was almost finished.
Some of the remaining seedlings were kept for our own planting.
Standing in front of the gate, you can see the entire flower garden at a glance.
Now that the ground has been turned over and the weeds have been cut, there is nothing blocking the view and you can see the foot of the mountain in the distance at a glance.
Looking more closely, there are two rows of willow saplings next to the river.
Further in, there are some fruit trees.
Apricot trees, apple trees, pomegranate trees... are all secondary, planted just for fun, to enjoy the flowers when they bloom and to eat the fruits when they fall.
Among them, peach seedlings are the most numerous, and peach trees are not planted just for fun.
When the peach blossoms bloom, they plan to pick the flowers and make ointment, which is the top priority.
There are some peach blossoms left, which can be saved for eating peaches later, which is the best of both worlds.
There are many varieties of flowers. Wait until they sprout and grow branches, then build a climbing frame to grow them.
The workers have been working hard for several days and are now receiving their wages from Old Mrs. Zhou, all with smiling faces.
"Aunt Zhou, if you have any work to do at home, please come to me. I'll be there whenever you call."
"Auntie, if there's work to do, just let me know and I'll come over and do it."
Everyone greeted each other with a smile and joked with each other.
"After working for a few days, I can carry several kilograms of fat meat. I will go to town tomorrow to give my children a snack!"
"That's not true. My family hasn't had meat for a long time. Let's go to town and buy some meat."
For tidying up the flower garden and planting for three days, each person can receive seventy cents.
A whole bag of money is filled with a heavy sense of happiness.
Old Mrs. Zhou distributed the prepared money bags, and looking at the smiles on the villagers' faces, she felt very happy too.
Although the money is not much, it can at least allow the folks to buy two kilograms of meat.
"Okay, okay. If there's any work in the future, I'll definitely look for you guys. Just take care of it."
But some women in the crowd still envied Yue Wan. It was a good job that paid her ten cents a day, and she didn't have to go to the fields to do such heavy work. They felt happy just thinking about it.
But this kind of job is very hard to come by, and they can't squeeze in.
We can only wait for the opportunity!
The workers were disbanded, but the Zhou family's work was not yet finished.
Zhou Mingshu and his two sisters were still in the flower garden, and Zhou Mingzhi was still carrying water in a bucket to water the land.
Zhou Laoer and Zhou Laosan were extremely tired and were drinking tea and resting in the yard. The remaining minor chores were left to the children.
Zhou Mingshu took a small hoe and chopped at the roadside, but he was actually loosening the soil.
After a while, when the spring rain falls, she can sow the sunflower seeds.
Sunflowers are easy to survive. They will germinate when they come into contact with water and grow when they come into contact with soil. You don’t need to spend too much effort to take care of them.
The environment is open-air, and it is easy to explode in summer.
Looking forward to the flower beds being full of flowers.
It will surely attract many butterflies and bees.
"Sana, my elder sister and I have finished it, what about you?"
"I'm almost done here, let's call big brother to rest together."
The brothers and sisters packed up their farm tools and returned home.
"Oh, finally it's done. There's nothing to do next."
Zhou Mingzhi lay down on the chair with his long bare legs stretched out, almost tripping Zhou Mingqi.
"Brother, can you please pay attention to your image?"
Zhou Mingqin glared at him with disdain.
Zhou Mingzhi had no choice but to pull up his pants at the knees and curl up his legs.
Zhou Mingshu filled the tea cups and brought them to the people.
My eldest brother is sixteen years old this year. He is growing very fast and the hairs at the corners of his lips are getting darker and darker.
"Brother, I think you are thinking too simply. Our flower garden has not been fenced yet. We have worked so hard to tidy up the flower garden but there is not even a path. We need to level the path when we have time, so there is still a lot of work to do."
Zhou Mingshu smiled and said that there would be more and more work in the future.
A large amount of bamboo is needed to build a fence, and the stock at home is not enough.
The workload ahead is large and heavy!
"Okay, these tasks aren't too tiring, let's just do them slowly. San Ya, which one do you think we should do first?"
Zhou Mingzhi's eyes were bright, filled with the innocence of not having entered an evil society.
"Let's level the road first, but this is not an ordinary dirt road. After we level the road, we'll first pave it with a mixture of gravel and mud, and then sprinkle a layer of pebbles on top."
"Ah? It's just a road, why is it so troublesome?" Zhou Mingzhi scratched his forehead, looking puzzled.
"Brother, you don't understand this. The flowerbed needs to be watered regularly. If we just go in there, our shoes will be covered in mud and we won't be able to wear them. Only by paving a road like this without mud can our shoes be clean."
"Also, we are not arranging this flower garden just for fun. When the flowers bloom, it will inevitably attract people from other places to come and see them. Then we can build a thatched shed at the door and you can just sit there and collect money."
Zhou Mingzhi's tightly furrowed brows finally relaxed at this moment.
