Reinforced concrete? That's not happening! All I want is a small, vibrant green haven that belongs to me! Immersed in a sea of green, it's truly a feast for the eyes!
With a space, pr...
On one side, the capable and hardworking Old He and Boss He were squatting and busy planting vegetable seedlings. They were exposed to the wind and sun. It was not hot even though summer had not yet arrived. However, they were still sweating from the busy work.
Oh, and there’s He Ming who’s just there for the occasion. He’s a cheerleader, cheering for his dad and grandpa.
On the other side, the weaving team under the eaves worked very quickly. He Ersao, her mother and her two daughters continued to cooperate tacitly, making one straw mat after another.
He Luyi followed her second aunt, wanting to learn how to do it. She didn't know if it was because her hands were clumsy or her brain was slow, but she just couldn't handle the straw properly. The straw that was obedient in He Ersao's hands became disobedient in He Luyi's hands, leaking here and there.
Even her own mother couldn't stand it anymore, "My dear girl, if it doesn't work out, just forget it. Don't make it hard on yourself."
He Luyi refused to listen and insisted on competing. If the first time didn't work, she would try it twice. If the second time didn't work, she would try it three times. If the third time still didn't work, she would keep trying until the behavior stopped.
I don’t know if I was moved by her persistence, but slowly, I actually made a straw mat that was almost perfect. It was just too ugly and not as elegant and beautiful as He Ersao’s.
"Uh..." It's better than nothing.
He Luyi looked at the piece of cloth she had woven, which had nothing to do with a straw mat. It was also an achievement. She shouldn't worry about so many details.
If this one doesn’t work, I’ll continue with the next one. I don’t believe that I can’t write any one well!
He Luyi was so stubborn that she started to argue with herself. It was not until lunch time that Donghua called his daughter several times, but she acted as if he didn't hear her.
Donghua sighed. This child was really crazy. He walked up to her and ripped the thing off her hand. "Eat first, and then continue after dinner."
He carried the child into the house and put him on the bench to sit.
The He family members sat down and ate a sumptuous lunch. The He family's meals were varied, with buns, dumplings, and rice balls, stewed, fried, boiled, deep-fried, and braised.
Although the New Year has passed, there are still a lot of bacon, salted fish, air-dried chicken, air-dried duck, spicy sausages, and sweet sausages that He Luyi learned from her mother to make, which are suitable for their family's taste. What He Luyi misses most is the sausage made by her mother. With these sausages, He Luyi can eat several bowls of rice.
Pure and delicious sausage. I remember that my younger brother and sister and I were fighting for it. If we weren't careful, it would be gone...
Although Donghua doesn’t know how to make it now, it doesn’t matter. He Luyi knows how to make it. She can just instruct her mother to make it. Isn’t that Mom’s brand sausage?
At He Luyi's strong request, a lot of sweet sausages were made, and at least He Luyi was very satisfied with the food.
Donghua's sweet sausages captured the hearts of the little ones in the He family. He Luyi could only beat his chest and stamp his feet, saying that it was too careless!
Therefore, even now, there are not many left. Seeing that the kids like it so much, Old He waved his hand and said, "Make more sausages for the New Year this year. Third daughter-in-law, thank you for your hard work."
Donghua was also very happy. It was rare that so many people liked the things he made. He nodded immediately and agreed quickly.
The dishes for lunch today are also very rich, including braised pork, vinegar-stirred cabbage, Maoxuewang, cold-mixed zheergen, brown sugar rice cake, pumpkin cake, and pig's feet stewed with kelp.
One cold dish, one soup, three hot dishes and two snacks, both adults and children have full bellies after eating. Fortunately, they exercise a lot every day, otherwise they would have become fat people long ago.
He Luyi also ran around here and there, otherwise she would not have dared to eat and drink so much. She had suffered from the difficulty of losing weight in her previous life and it was a heart disease. She had to cherish this life and not grow into a super fat man again.
After dinner, the He family went out together. The adults carried hoes and a large backpack with a dustpan in it. The half-grown children like He Ming held sickles and carried small backpacks. He Luyi was not to be outdone. She carried a small basket tailored for her by old He and a small hoe, and went to work with the group.
First, a person carries a backpack into the greenhouse and pulls out the whole plant with roots and soil, and carefully places it in the backpack. One backpack contains one kind of vegetable seedlings. Several kinds of vegetables are planted every day, and the ones that are closest are planted first.
From the innermost to the outermost, they are green pepper, cucumber, eggplant, pumpkin, loofah, bitter melon, winter melon, cabbage, kabob, leek, tomato, lettuce, spinach, Emei beans, mung beans, soybeans, peas, broad beans, potatoes, konjac, taro, garland chrysanthemum, rapeseed, corn, sweet potato, carrot, white radish, red radish, bok choy, lettuce, red dry vegetables, baby cabbage, bok choy, sweet potato, cowpea, green beans, and edamame.
Anything that can be used as a seasoning was not left out, and a circle of vegetables was planted around the seedlings, such as green onions, shallots, garlic sprouts, ginger, perilla, coriander, garlic sprouts...
Plant everything you can think of.
However, the farmland is limited, so we didn't breed a lot, just enough. As for getting the villagers to plant together in the future, that will be a matter for later.
The He family made full use of the land. They planted cucumbers, bitter melons, winter melons, and loofahs that required trellises together, built a tripod, and let the vines climb freely.
Under the shelf are pumpkins climbing freely. Oh, they can’t climb yet, they are just small seedlings with two leaves.
These are all planted in the plot of land in front of the house, except pumpkins, which can be mixed.
To the left are two rows of tomatoes, four rows of green peppers, and two rows of eggplants. The tomatoes need a low rack so that they can be supported when they bear fruit and will not be buried in the soil and suffocated. Ruined tomatoes are... useless.
Next to the eggplants were sweet potatoes. They were planted in large numbers. After all, one sweet potato per vine wouldn't be very nutritious if they weren't planted more. So, they took up quite a bit of land, probably seven or eight rows. But the fruits of this space-based production were naturally extraordinary. When they harvested, the He family was stunned! More on that later.
