Chapter 197

Before the end of the first month, the spring rain began to fall, wiping its tail. Except for a short sunny day on the day when Erlong looked up in February, it was either raining or brewing rain at other times.

This year's spring seems to come very early and very fast.

After the spring rain, the spring breeze blows again, and the grass in the field grows up like eating the nutrients said by Koko. It is clear that there are only a few weeds on both sides of the road before manbao goes to bed. When he wakes up, both sides of the road are green.

Then man Bao went to school with his small bookcase on his back and an umbrella much bigger than she did not know.

The Zhou brothers were not treated as well as her. Although there was a drizzle in the sky, they also had to go to the ground.

Put on the coir raincoat, carry the hoe and plow and go down to the ground.

Even old Zhou tou wore coir raincoats and straw hats. Zhou LIULANG naturally went there.

The Zhou family has a lot of fields, so it's difficult to do what Koko said. Even the rich white land owner can't do it.

Rice is planted in all fields with good soil and water, wheat is planted in the second, and beans and fruits are planted in non fields and dry lands.

For example, man Bao doesn't like winter melon, Jiegua, pumpkin and so on.

The Zhou family has a lot of land, but also a lot of labor.

Ploughing is almost a man's business, but occasionally they will carry a hoe and go down to the ground together to level the land.

This year, in addition to the good fields at home, the three wastelands they opened up should also be more careful, because there are valuable ginger and yams to be planted.

In particular, ginger, even Sanlang, who has just entered the industry, is very experienced. He has been fertilizing the field in the dark for several evenings, trying to fatten the field before planting.

In order to restrain the growth of grass in the field, they sprinkled a thin layer of straw into the wasteland.

This is a secret discovered by manbao when he planted ginger and yam last year.

Last year, because the temperature fluctuated greatly, in order to keep warm after planting, they sprinkled a layer of straw on the ground to keep warm. Finally, they found that there were not so many weeds covered by straw.

So they did the same this year, and then when planting, they pulled the straw away from the planting place and exposed it after planting.

In this way, the ginger sprouted and the weeds did not grow, which bought them a lot of time.

After all, this time is spring busy, they are really busy.

This year, the family has another 20 mu of land, so I'm afraid they can't go to Baidi's house to do part-time work.

This means that their income will be reduced in the spring. Of course, with the reduction of income, they will get higher income than in previous years when they harvest wheat, beans and rice in the autumn.

In theory, if God is good enough, this year will be as good as the past three years.

But the weather is really strange this year.

At the beginning of spring, it rained continuously, and the water in the field gradually increased. Lao Zhou had to take his sons to release water. When he looked at God with a sad face, it cleared up in two days.

Old Zhou tou hardly dared to neglect. He immediately took his family to plant the cultivated seedlings. Even ertou and Erya got into the field. The whole family was busy except man Bao, Santou, Sanya and Sitou.

Because everyone in the family went to the ground, she naturally had to bear the housework. Even if she couldn't do heavy work, she could cook and clean the yard.

In addition, there are several small help from man Bao. In this way, one sick and four young children can help the family.

Planting in spring is as tiring as harvesting in autumn. The family is losing weight at a speed visible to the naked eye. Man Bao is so distressed that he opens his money box and counts the copper plates in it. Then he counts out twenty Wen to buy meat.

She thinks dolphin meat is not as delicious as mutton, but it's cheap.

In the long run, it's more cost-effective to buy dolphin meat, but I feel a little embarrassed. After all, her future fourth sister-in-law's family sells mutton, and the two meat stalls are placed together.

The big head who took the money to buy meat obviously knew this. Every time he went to buy meat, he would ask if he had anything to say.

Zhou Si Lang Chun was so busy and tired that he had no brain to think about more things. When he heard the speech, he pulled a pile of wild flowers from the roadside and stuffed them into him, "give them to her for me."

Man Bao likes to put flowers and plants in his own room. When there are no flowers, weeds can be placed. Even Da Ya and Er Ya pester his second brother to make bamboo vases for them every day.

So on Thursday Lang came to a conclusion that girls like flowers and plants.

He didn't have anything else, but there were many flowers and grass. There were everywhere on the road and in the mountains.

When all the people on the road are torn by him, he will pull some beautiful flowers from the mountain when he is working and resting, and let man Bao throw the rest into the basin to soak in water. The next day, the water is neatly stuffed into big head, so that he can bring it to lady Fang when he goes to buy meat.

Therefore, since spring is busy, big head has to go to Daji every day to buy meat. Most of the time, he buys dolphin meat and occasionally mutton.

But no matter what meat he buys, he will send a bunch of flowers to the future four aunts instead of the fourth uncle.

Not to mention the Fang family, the whole Dali Village knew it. Everyone said after dinner, "don't say, the four boys of the family still attach great importance to ER Niu this week. Er Niu is a good husband."

As for the Zhou family's behavior of always going to the meat stall next door to buy meat, some people muttered in their hearts in the first few days, even the Fang family was slightly uncomfortable, but after more than ten days of sending the flowers, everyone was only comfortable.

As for not buying meat in the Yue family and running to the meat stall next door, everyone also expressed their understanding from the bottom of their hearts. After all, the meat sold by the two families is different and the price is very different.

On the one hand, people think that the Zhou family is inferior to the Fang family and can only choose cheaper dolphin meat. On the other hand, few families in the countryside can afford meat every day.

At least the head of Dali Village is not willing to eat like this.

Such a comparison, it seems that the Zhou family's family is still very good.

Anyway, Cheng was relieved. She said, "although their family only buys meat every day during the busy farming period, there may not be many people who do so. Obviously, they still have some money."

At least it's not worse than the ones they saw before. Those families look thicker than the Zhou family, but they don't seem willing to eat meat every day on such days.

The Fang family is a butcher. The villagers of several nearby villages basically come to Dali Village to buy meat.

So they don't know much about who's family and what's going on.

Butcher Fang came: "it's only two months. She'll go out as soon as the Spring Rush is over. During this time, let her go out less and cover her. Maybe she can cover her white. I think the boy on Thursday can do something else. Just that face and mouth are OK."

Obviously, butcher Fang also wants his daughter to match Shiro from her appearance.
