Chapter 137 Chapter 136: It's really a corn pig

"That vicious girl! Imagine, if a girl who wore open-crotch pants and went fishing with me in the ditch is introduced to me as a girlfriend, how can I proceed?" Zhou Yiding said with a bitter face, "I have no other choice. I'll go and take a look to give face to my third sister."

Seeing his bitter face, Zhou Huaishan interrupted with a smile, "I think it's better to know each other since childhood. It's best to know each other well!"

Zhou Yiding shook his head repeatedly, "The problem is that he knows me too well. It feels like he's looking for a partner for me and the youngest brother. How are we going to sleep in the same bed after we get married?"

"Hahaha..." Zhou Huaian burst into laughter after hearing this.

"Get lost!" Zhou Yiding laughed and kicked him. "I'm telling you the truth, and you're still laughing at me. What kind of friend are you?"

Zhou Huaian suppressed his laughter and said, "Stop laughing! I'll come back to see you tomorrow afternoon!"

"Yes!" Zhou Yiding stood up and saw the two brothers off. "Third brother, now you can live comfortably. You'll have a brick house to live in by the end of the year."

Zhou Huaishan was also very happy, "Yes! Thanks to the youngest brother for finding a way to make money with us brothers!"

Zhou Yiding smiled and hugged Zhou Huaian, "When you come down the mountain, remember to bring some with you!"

"Don't worry!" Zhou Huaian patted his chest and said, holding a cigarette sideways, "Brother Pao never acts like a spoiled brat!"

Zhou Huaishan hated him the most for acting like a second-rate ruffian. He curled his lips in disdain and said, "I think it's because you guys keep talking about Pao brothers all day long. Those gossipy women in the team have made your reputation so bad."

Zhou Huaian patted him on the shoulder and said, "Third brother, those gossipy women don't like people like us. They like people like you who are strong, honest and hardworking!"

"Get lost! You have no respect for your parents." Zhou Huaishan raised his hand and hit him.

As the two turned around, Zhou Yiding stopped them again, "My youngest sister said that your aunt came to see me today. Do you know what it is?"

Zhou Huaian shook his head, "I don't know, maybe he wants to introduce you to someone?"

"may be!"

The two brothers came out of Zhou Yiding's house. Zhou Huaishan looked back at the tall red brick wall of his house and said, "Uncle Daqing is the one who is really capable. He has a job, a house at the company, and a brick house in the countryside.

Such good conditions, his aunt has been gone for more than ten years, he is raising two siblings by himself, why doesn't he find a new one? "

Zhou Huaian: "I know. Yiding said that his aunt had been gone for about three years. Someone from the forest farm introduced him to a woman who lived with them in the mountains for half a year. At first, the woman was nice to him and his youngest sister, but later she stole his things behind Uncle Daqing's back.

When Uncle Daqing found out, he drove her away. Since then, he has refused to accept any introductions. Two years ago, someone in the team introduced Ye Xiaoshuang to Uncle Daqing, but he said his son was about to get married, so he would not look for another one.

After hearing this, Zhou Huaishan admired Zhou Daqing even more. "Look at Wang Dong's stepmother in the team. That woman has a black heart. Uncle Daqing would rather remain single for Yiding and Xiaomei. Not many people can do that."

When the two brothers returned home, Yang Chunyan and others had already picked out the Drynaria fortunei and dried them in the sun.

Zhou's father and son built a shed near the wall in the backyard, which was divided into more than ten layers of bamboo strips, specifically for drying the herbs.

The lung-shaped grass and physalis we dug up yesterday have been dried. There are more than ten kilograms of dried lungwort and physalis, and at most one kilogram of dried lung-shaped grass.

The motherwort and clematis are still a little moist, so I'll save them for next time.

After packing up, everyone went back to their rooms to rest.

Yang Chunyan and Zhou Huaian came back from the toilet and told him about Zhou Huaixing's situation. "Don't listen to him. Greed for money will not end well."

"Hahaha..." Zhou Huaian knew he had fallen, and stopped laughing after a while. He looked at Yang Chunyan, "Auntie really told my mom that his Zhou Huaixing became a fundraising liaison officer?"

Seeing him laughing like this, Yang Chunyan also laughed, "Yeah! I heard..."

Zhou Huaian curled his lips in disdain, "Tsk tsk tsk! You even believe something like this, you really are a corn pig."

"It seems that you also know that this is a lie?"

"There are so many tricks to deceive people. Last year, someone was deceived into buying Yuan Datou, and in the end he couldn't even find a place to cry!"

Yang Chunyan felt relieved after hearing this. "I have warned my mother and sisters-in-law. I was worried that you would be fooled!"

"Humph!" Zhou Huaian rolled his eyes at her in dissatisfaction, "I told you a long time ago that your man was just lazy, not stupid!"

"You are so lazy and you are right!"

"I'm still lazy now, no different from an old ox!"

"Okay, okay, you're diligent..."

…

The next morning, not long after Zhou Huaishan and Zhou Huaian left, Yang Chunyan and her two sisters-in-law went out to the back mountain.

In just over ten days, the peony vines in the sweet potato field had already covered the ridges and ditches. The vine stems were covered with lavender, morning glory-shaped sweet potato flowers.

After the rainy season, the sweet potato vines grow at a speed visible to the naked eye. However, the sweet potato stems grow too much, and the nutrients absorbed by the roots will be transferred to the stems and leaves, and the vines will grow everywhere.

There is a disadvantage of sweet potato vines that grow too vigorously, which is that small sweet potatoes will be produced wherever they take root, and the stems, leaves and small sweet potatoes will compete with the potato tubers on the main root for nutrients.

As you can imagine, if there are too many roots on the vine, each root will produce some small sweet potatoes. It seems that the overall number has increased, but the size of each one has become smaller.

Too many small sweet potatoes will not increase production but will reduce it.

At this time, you should cut off some of the sweet potato vines that are growing too vigorously, turn over the peony vines, turn out the roots on the vines, and expose the new adventitious roots to the scorching sun to make them lose their vitality.

Then, the nutrients produced by photosynthesis of the sweet potato stems and leaves will be transferred to the underground tubers, effectively promoting the expansion of the underground tubers.

The dew was very heavy in the early morning. Several people were wearing boots, and the dew did not soak their pants, but their clothes were soaked.

First use a sickle to cut out some of the peony vines that are growing too vigorously, and then start turning over the peony vines.

After the peony vines were turned over, the chickweeds, silkworms, brown caterpillars, and some snails hiding underneath crawled out.

Zhao Huifang stepped on a few bugs and said, "I'll pick some sweet potato stalks and stir-fry them with sour chili peppers."

Yang Chunyan thinks that the sweet potato stalks are not chewy after the skin is peeled. "Don't peel the skin. Just wash and cut into short sections and blanch them in water. Then stir-fry them with chili peppers, garlic, and ginger rice. It tastes good."

"Yes, come when we cook at noon!" Zhao Huifang looked at the people who were carrying baskets up the mountain to pick mushrooms. "Let's hurry up and turn over this patch of sweet potato vines in the morning. Then we can go pick mushrooms in the afternoon and bring back some herbs."

Yang Chunyan looked back and said, "You don't have to go far to dig. Yesterday I saw a lot of sticky grass and yellow field beds on the mountain above. I'll go cut them this afternoon."

"Oh my god!" Li Qiuyue looked at Yang Chunyan in surprise, "That damn thing called sticky grass is also a herb?"

Yang Chunyan: "Don't look down on sticky grass, it has quite high medicinal value!"
