Chapter 130 Private Space

Just arrange these crops neatly and orderly, which saves space and makes them easy to take.

Because the wind outside was quite strong, Zhao Chunhua was afraid that the precious sweet potato starch that she had worked so hard to make would be blown away, so she quickly and carefully moved the sieve containing the powder into the kitchen to protect it.

She worked hard to extract this precious powder from a large amount of sweet potatoes. Every grain was hard-earned, so she naturally cherished it very much.

Then, Zhao Chunhua picked up two bamboo hats, carried small stones on his back, and pushed his old bamboo cart towards the fields.

The field that was originally planted with beans now looks very bleak. The leaves have turned yellow and are beginning to fall off. The beans are growing strangely and are obviously malnourished.

Considering this situation, she simply decided to grow radishes instead.

After the autumn crops are harvested, it does not mean that farmers can rest. They have to take advantage of this time to plant more vegetables suitable for the winter and store enough food for the autumn and winter seasons.

Eating radishes in winter has many benefits for the body, and there are many different ways to cook them, so it is necessary to plant more of them.

After settling the work at hand, Zhao Chunhua placed the bamboo cart in a relatively stable position, and then used the larger bamboo hat to cover the entire bamboo cart, creating a shade for the small stone.

The next first step is to pull out the beans that are no longer growing, including their roots and stalks.

Then patiently clear all the vines on the bean sticks one by one.

These bean vines can be spread directly on the ground to be exposed to sunlight. They will be completely dry after two days. Then you just need to burn them into ashes, and then turn the soil over, and the land will be clean.

After finishing the work on the land originally planted with beans, Zhao Chunhua continued to inspect other areas and picked some vegetables that could be picked.

She hasn't picked pumpkins in the past few days. The tender pumpkins have already tasted their freshness, so she will leave the rest to continue growing. After all, it will taste better to eat ripe pumpkins in winter.

However, she noticed that the new shoots and buds growing on the top of the pumpkin can also be picked and used as food.

If pumpkin vines are allowed to spread indefinitely, they will soon take up too much valuable space and affect the growth of other crops.

Suddenly a strong wind blew by, and the people harvesting crops in the fields felt the urgency and strength of the wind and quickened their work.

At this time, everyone stopped chatting, and everyone had the same idea in mind: to bring the crops back home safely first.

They bent down and moved faster, hoping to finish all the work before the rain came.

Sure enough, it rained at night, and in the morning the leaves in the vegetable garden were covered with crystal clear water droplets, sparkling in the morning light.

Every drop of water looks particularly beautiful under the sunlight, and also shows the vitality that this rain brings to the land.

But the weather is unpredictable. To be on the safe side, Zhao Chunhua carefully took the sweet potato flour that had not yet completely dried back to the warehouse to prevent it from getting wet and spoiling due to the upcoming rain.

She has been busy with various affairs recently and has hardly any time to rest.

When this sudden free time came before her, she felt a little overwhelmed and didn't know how to arrange it.

Finally, she decided to carry her child, Xiao Shitou, on her back and set out to visit the original owner's youngest daughter, Shu Mian'er.

He first came to his hometown to check the situation, and saw that everything was in order - Shu Yixian's land had been harvested, and he was busy helping his younger brother Shu Yanyou to collect the final grain.

Shu Yanyou obviously did not intend to take on such a heavy workload alone. He had already invited two helpers to join in, and it looked like the task could be completed successfully today.

As for other female members of the family, such as Chen Mai, they were responsible for drying the food outside the house, and were always ready to bring the drying items back indoors as soon as there were signs of rain in the sky to prevent damage from rain.

After learning that Zhao Chunhua was about to visit Shu Mian'er, Shen Mai expressed his understanding and determination to remember this matter. He also specially gave her thirty eggs as a gift to Shu Mian'er to replenish her body.

On the other hand, Tang Jianxi had to

In order to leave enough food resources for the family, he still tried his best to squeeze out some financial support for Zhao Chunhua - specifically, thirty cents, and suggested that she could use it to directly buy some daily necessities or food materials that Shu Mian'er currently needed.

Zhao Chunhua expressed her willingness to accept the goodwill gestures from both parties.

She did spend a lot of money during this period, but the most commonly used currency unit in real life was copper coins calculated in "wen".

Taking into account various situations that might arise along the way, especially the worry that the sun would be high in the sky causing a sudden rise in temperature or heavy rain without warning, Zhao Chunhua also brought an oil-paper umbrella with her. This makes it extremely convenient to block the sun or rain, ensuring that she and her children stay comfortable along the way.

When passing by a shop at the entrance of the village, she stopped deliberately, carefully selected and bought two pig's trotters, because she remembered that Shu Mian'er particularly liked to eat this kind of food.

Although pig's trotters have a lot of bones, their price is almost the same as pork, so unless you are a pregnant woman or someone who particularly likes it, people rarely buy it.

There were almost no pedestrians on the road. Even the most lively and naughty children followed the adults obediently, carrying baskets and carefully picking up the rice and scattered small pieces of sweet potatoes left in the fields.

Zhao Chunhua felt that this environment was quite peaceful. She would point to some weeds or plants on the roadside and explain to Xiao Shitou their names and uses from time to time, although most of the time she didn't hear any response.

This made her a little confused, wondering whether Xiao Shitou was really asleep.

Suddenly, an idea came to her mind, and a short video clip she had seen on the Internet flashed through her mind.

Inspired by this, Zhao Chunhua carefully took out a small piece of rice cake and gently put it into the backpack to test the situation.

Not long after, a tiny hand reached in quietly and quickly took away the rice cake.

It seems that he is indeed awake!

The road seemed exceptionally quiet, and the benefits of having no one to disturb us soon became apparent.

Zhao Chunhua remembered the basket covered with a piece of cloth that she was carrying when she left. In fact, there was nothing in it - all the things she wanted to take back had been safely stored in her private space.

In this way, even if an accident occurs during the journey, the safety of the items can be guaranteed to the greatest extent.
