Chapter 198

Before transplanting seedlings, the old Zhou family had watched the empty space sprinkle wheat and bean seeds into the field. After transplanting seedlings, the wheat and bean seedlings in the field grew out. Of course, there were countless weeds growing with them.

So spring busy into the second stage - weeding.

This kind of work is suitable for men, women, old and young. Man Bao follows in weeding in the nearest fields.

There are basically two methods of weeding, one is extensive and the other is meticulous.

The former, holding a hoe, gently hoes all the way, hoes the grass on the ridge by roots, and then covers the grass in the seedling ditch with soil.

It can not only remove some grass, but also provide more soil nutrients for wheat or bean seedlings.

The latter is to pick up all the grass in the furrows and ridges with a small hoe and transport them out.

Even if Lao Zhou had a large family, he didn't do much. All the land was carefully made.

They will choose according to the breaking of seeds and the fertility of the land.

For the land with the best seedling rate, the land with more fertile soil is carefully cultivated, and the rest depends on the situation. If there is spare power, it will be carefully cultivated, and if there is no spare power, it will be extensively planted.

Of course, Lao Zhoutou doesn't know anything about extensive and detailed farming. These are the terms man Bao heard during his discussion with Keke. Lao Zhoutou has only decades of farming experience, and the villagers in the village have done so for decades.

Unlike the farmers outside who lost their land and became tenants or refugees, few farmers completely lost their land in Qili Village, or even in the large village of baimaguan town.

Therefore, there are not many people who can cultivate their land carefully. Basically, local farmers have to make choices. Therefore, the fertile land will gradually become more fertile, and the barren land will also be difficult to improve in decades.

Because people's energy is always limited.

However, with the end of spring planting, although it is still the busy stage of spring, the family is not so busy.

Man Bao doesn't sleep from opening his eyes as before. He may not see his eldest and second brothers.

Because often, when she opens her eyes, they have gone to the field. After dinner, it's dark. When she wants to go to sleep, they may still hurry to plant rice seedlings in the field.

The copper plates in the manbao money box are almost used. Five beautiful gold naked seeds used to be placed on a pile of copper plates, but now they stay quietly at the bottom of the box.

So man Bao doesn't want to pay for meat.

Thinking that may was coming, Qian became thrifty and was naturally unwilling to spend money on meat.

There's no way. Xiao Qian loves her husband. Thinking of man Bao's saying that tofu is similar to meat, although she knows it may be false, she still soaked beans to make tofu.

There are many wild vegetables to eat in spring, but there are few vegetables in the garden.

Although there is no shortage of vegetables in the countryside, there is a shortage in the city. It is said that a handful of bitter vegetables can sell at a high price of five Wen.

Of course, it is impossible for the Zhou family to sell vegetables. Their family has a large mouth and the vegetables in the garden are only enough for them.

But they can sell tofu.

I thought I had accumulated so many beans some time ago.

Little Qian simply soaked a little more with his two sisters in law. In addition to his own tofu, Zhou Erlang also asked Zhou Erlang to take it to the county to sell.

I can't help it. There are basically barters in Daji. Few people will take money to buy tofu. This thing can only be taken to the county and city.

Xiao Qian cut the tofu into large pieces and asked Zhou Erlang to take it out for a penny. If he couldn't sell it, he would consider changing the beans.

Basically, a family can eat for two Wen.

Because Xiao Qian made tofu in the morning and had to cook for the school, he had no time to take care of the work in the field.

Man Bao listened to his father say that the grass in the field is as long as crazy. If what can be done with the wheat and beans this year, he volunteered to weed in the field after school.

Of course, she wasn't alone. She took Bai Shanbao with her.

Bai Shanbao, who had lived in the countryside for more than a year, certainly couldn't tell wheat, beans and weeds, so he competed with man Bao with relish and was unwilling to come the next day.

He thought it was too hard, and he thought, if he weeded, why should he come to manbao's land? His land should also be weeded.

Man Bao:

The two partners parted ways, and man Bao could no longer cheat free labor.

After the first batch of grass was removed, the crops grew up, so it was time to apply fertilizer. When the fertilizer was applied, it was coming in May.

The two families had chosen the day as early as years ago. Qian specially went to the Taoist temple on the mountain of Dali Village to ask. Their eight characters fit very well. The first day of May is a great day for them.

After the first day of May, the next good day is May 23.

Of course, Qian's family prefers the first day of May. The Fang family also knows this and is naturally considerate. Therefore, when reporting the day, the Fang family also chose this day.

The bride price has already been given to the Fang family, but we still have to report the good news to the woman's family before the wedding. Naturally, there are wedding cakes, candy and meat.

The remaining two liang silver borrowed by Qian and Zhou Xi came in handy.

The Zhou family posted a lot of red happy words. Man Bao was very happy. Every day when he learned, he ran crazy behind Da touya's ass and threw his study aside.

It made Bai Shanbao run behind.

Qian looked at the white and fat children, especially the two children who were more and more like the children sitting in Guanyin against the background of the black big head and two heads. She couldn't help but move in her heart.

Qian pulled man Bao in front of him and asked with a smile, "man Bao, your fourth brother is married. Will you roll the bed for him?"

Man Bao's eyes are bright. "What is a roller bed?"

"It's the rolling bed boy. Roll around on the new bed and let the Lord bless your four brothers and four sisters in law to have a daughter as smart as you."

"Yes, yes!"

Qian looked at Bai Shanbao and asked with a smile, "young master, do you want to be a rolling bed boy?"

Bai Shanbao nodded fiercely.

Qian smiled and went to Bai's house with a wedding gift that day.

When Liu heard the servant report, he was slightly surprised. He quickly got up and took his daughter-in-law to welcome him out.

Although there is a generation difference between the two children in terms of their generations, they are actually about the same age, and Qian's appearance is older than Liu's.

Liu and Qian have also met several times, not to mention a lot of contacts between the two families.

Not to mention that man Bao is not doing homework and reading at Bai Shanbao's house, or Bai Shanbao is playing behind man Bao's ass. it can be said that the two families are close to each other by just talking about the things you sent me.

But it was the first time Qian came to the door, so Liu was very serious.

When he learned that Qian was going to invite his grandson to be a bed roller boy, Liu hesitated, not unwilling, but, "man Bao's mother, I won't hide it from you. In my heart, Shanbao is naturally good, but he lost his father when he was young, so he went to be a bed roller..."
