Chapter 152: Farm work is endless
In a hurry, Mao Li didn't care to look at the time, quickly found a piece of cardboard, put the lettuce silk on it, and put it on the windowsill.
Wait for the night wind to blow, cool down, and take it out to dry in the sun tomorrow.
However, just entered the kitchen to clean up dinner, not long after, the door pushed open, son Song Xuehai was drenched like a drowned rat.
"This heavy rain came too fast."
Just got off the car and crackled, he closed the car door and ran back all the way, his whole body was soaked. At this moment, quickly returned to the room, ready to change clothes, but instantly stunned, and then shouted loudly:
"Mom, I sent you a message in the afternoon to close the window, why didn't you close it? This bay window is full of rainwater."
As for the lettuce silk that took a whole afternoon to tidy up—forget it, no need to look, the cardboard underneath was soaked and rotten.
Mao Li looked at the message she missed, really felt that a breath couldn't come up.
Song Tan didn't know that Big Aunt's blood pressure rose three levels a day, and her life was so wonderful.
But she, who should have gone back, thought for a moment, turned the steering wheel, and turned directly into the mall.
Since she plans to do live streaming often in the future, she has to buy a mobile phone specifically for live streaming. Otherwise, Qiaoqiao always takes her mobile phone, which is easy to delay things.
Also, the good brother has performed well recently, buy a tablet computer for him to watch cartoons!
Sigh, still said must find time to take him to the amusement park, now look at her schedule, sure enough, she thought farm work was simple.
Just paid the money, Song Sancheng's phone called again: "Tan Tan. When you come back, pull a few pieces of color steel tile from the building materials market. Grandpa and I are building a stove, have to build a shed for this stove."
Otherwise, it's really troublesome when it rains and blows.
This so-called color steel tile is an economical and applicable material popular now after replacing asbestos tile. Actually, it is about one meter wide, depending on individual needs.
A piece is not expensive, the most basic ordinary size is twenty or thirty yuan.
Now building a shed to transition, it is really suitable.
It's just this money... mobile phone tablet bought, she also subsidized a little, wait until buying this color steel tile... well, a day of work for nothing!
She remembered her debt, sighed and got into the car.
Back home, only to see Song Sancheng had already built a simple shed in a place against the courtyard wall.
The top of the shed was bare, but the large stove built with red bricks in the middle of the shed was particularly eye-catching.
Nothing else, just this compromise, the whole courtyard looked more cramped and ugly, with no planning at all.
What can Song Tan do? A penny stumps a hero.
Song Sancheng was helping to build a wooden frame on the side to put Seventh Uncle's oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, and various materials and cutting boards.
Song Youde took the opportunity to fill a small pinch of tobacco leaves into his pipe: "Tan Tan, what do you plan to plant in those few fields on the back mountain? That land has been barren for many years, now it's not fertile when tidied up."
There are only three mu of land in total, Song Tan thought for a moment:
Vegetables are not lacking. Then...
"Soybeans, sesame, sweet potatoes, eat at home, still feel at ease planting them yourself."
Mentioning sweet potatoes, Song Youde also found it hard to have a good impression, but he also knew that young people nowadays quite like them, at this moment just pondering:
"Then I have to think about whose sweet potato flavor in the village is good, and then you buy according to this variety."
Bought back, the land has already been tidied up anyway, when the time comes, raise a few ridges, cultivate the sweet potato seedlings and plant them in.
Anyway, sweet potatoes should sprout in this season, just cut them according to the bud points on top, and let the child see something fresh.
Song Tan nodded, and then remembered one thing: "By the way, Grandpa, leave some space for Qiaoqiao to plant corn."
This silly child Qiaoqiao only knows how to plant this, what to do if he doesn't have any room for development?
What is there a little bit of land?
Song Youde pondered: since he said he wanted to plant corn, then sweet potatoes and corn each occupy half. Really speaking, corn can also feed chickens, anyway, it's better than planting sweet potatoes.
The drizzle gradually became heavier, Song Tan only had time to buckle the brought color steel tiles one by one, at this moment looked at the sky, and climbed down from the ladder, estimated that it would rain heavily today.
"It's also strange," Song Youde nodded while laughing happily:
"God is taking care of you, usually there is no such heavy rain on Qingming Festival. The seeds and vegetable seedlings just sprinkled yesterday, what is enough for us to water? Still have to have God rain heavily, water thoroughly, what should sprout can sprout in two days."
Song Sancheng also became happy: "But this rain can't be too heavy, otherwise the seeds will be washed out, and the magpies will go to the fields to eat again."
Song Tan's face stiffened.
The grasshoppers and insects in the purple clover field made the group of chicks roll their eyes.
Now that the seeds have just been sprinkled, they have to guard against those flying in the sky. Plus the attraction of spiritual energy, no amount of seeds is enough for them to eat.
Sigh, she only saved this little spiritual energy, and still has to go to the chestnut orchard side tonight to share the rain and dew equally, day after day, really nothing is left.
Originally in the Cultivation World, whether it was promoting growth or driving away insects and birds, formations could be set up.
But now that the world has changed, what can she use to set up formations?
Can only entrust Old Man Li to take root in the fields and drive away birds every day.
As for insects... can only wait for the seedlings to grow a bit bigger and use spiritual energy to vibrate.
Thinking of this, the workload is really getting bigger and bigger.
However, how can farm work only have this little bit?
Only to see Seventh Uncle turn back from the back mountain, at this moment holding the water chestnuts Song Tan bought and looking at them again and again, finally nodded to show satisfaction.
Then asked her impatiently: "Your pigs are all raised on the back mountain, when will you open the pigpen and let them run on the mountain?" Only that kind of meat is delicious.
Song Tan thought for a moment, the time is about right, the piglets are now strong, run more, can eat, drink and sleep, can contribute at the end of the year.
But...
"Seventh Uncle, don't worry, the iron net on my back mountain hasn't been completely sealed yet, isn't this waiting to be sent together with the peach orchard?"
"Still need what net?" Seventh Uncle didn't care:
"Qiaoqiao specifically took me to the back mountain to see Dawang, it's a good dog. With it there, you don't need to install an iron net, the pigs won't be lost!"
"Besides, on the grassland, dogs can herd sheep, herding a large group at once, you have such a big Dawang, can't herd five pigs, still can't herd them?"
Seventh Uncle also knows how to play with mobile phones, that sheepdog herding sheep on the internet, how smart!
He also saw Dawang, what a big size! This is a good breed, it's a pity not to raise pigs.
Song Tan was dumbfounded: Dawang wasn't a security guard before...
But thinking for a moment, Seventh Uncle's suggestion is really not impossible, now raising five pigs, just let it be on her own back mountain.
In the future, if she raises more, is it possible to surround them in all directions?
Might as well take advantage of the pigs being small, and train Dawang to herd pigs... ah no, herd pigs! ===== CHAPTER 153 =====
