Wang Zhaozhao is very experienced in picking grass for pigs. He not only knows where there is more grass, but also knows which ones pigs like to eat more and which ones will make them grow meat.
However, no matter how quick she was, she could not outrun the darkness, and she only brought back half a basket of pig grass.
The piglets are still small and don’t eat much. Half a basket of wild boar grass and some sweet potatoes from the private plot can be cooked into a big pot, which is enough to eat for two days.
Planting sweet potatoes is very cost-effective. First, sweet potatoes can fill your stomach. Second, from 50 kilograms of sweet potato seeds, you may be able to harvest 500 kilograms, or even more, of sweet potatoes.
Because the sweet potato vines are cut into sections and then grafted. After they take root, sweet potatoes grow from the rhizomes.
Sweet potato vine leaves can also be fed to pigs.
There is really no waste at all, and it is more cost-effective than corn and potatoes.
Next, the production team’s main task was to plant sweet potato seedlings, and this work required a certain weather condition, which was rain.
The preliminary preparations have been completed, and we are just waiting for the rain... Most of the fields in Hebian Village are on the mountain and rely on the weather for their livelihood, so it is much easier to cut sweet potato vines in the rain than to carry water up the mountain under the sun.
Survival rates also vary widely.
“…”
Wang Zhaozhao was stunned as he was walking home. He was just thinking about transplanting sweet potato vines when it rained, and it suddenly rained?
When I ran back home, I saw Wang Dahai and Wang Sibing were already preparing straw hats and raincoats, and so were the other three families.
Wang Sanbing was a little flustered because Shi Haiyan was not there. He had just finished and was about to eat when it started raining.
While preparing his bamboo hat and raincoat, he called Wang Baojia to take Wang Weiguo to dinner, and told them to boil water on the stove and take his younger brother to wash his face and take a bath after dinner, and to be careful when pouring water, blah blah blah...
In fact, it was the same with Wang Zhaozhao. As soon as Xie Ailian saw her, she kept talking and told her these things.
Sure enough, before they finished their meal, a whistle sounded outside, and Chen Changlin's voice came from the radio, calling everyone to gather at the threshing ground.
Wang Zhaozhao and the others are very used to this kind of thing. It happens every year, but this year they have separated, so it seems less noisy and chaotic.
Chen Changlin knows how to divide the work. Some people are responsible for cutting the sweet potato vines in the sweet potato fields, some are responsible for picking them up, the elderly and women are responsible for cutting the sweet potato vines, and then sending them up the mountain, and other people are responsible for grafting the sweet potato vines.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the workers certainly complained, but they worked hard.
Wang Zhaozhao went to bed early and entered the library in the system space to study. When the system reminded her that it was almost ten o'clock, she finished and logged out.
"The fire in the stove must have gone out, and the water may have gotten cold. I have to light the fire again..." He muttered to himself as he put on his clothes and prepared to go out.
The weather is getting warmer now, but people who work will definitely be soaked when they come back. Even if they don’t take a shower, washing their face and soaking their feet with hot water will make them feel more comfortable.
The spring rain lasts for several days, which is exactly what everyone wants at this time. They all hope to complete the sweet potato vine cuttings before the rain stops.
After going to the toilet, Wang Zhaozhao went to the kitchen to light the fire and make sure the kettle was full...
After thinking about it, I decided to light a big fire, let it burn, and then go to bed.
Keep the charcoal burning so that the water won't get cold even if Wang Dahai and the others come back late.
"Zhao Zhao..." Wang Xingwen suddenly appeared.
"Brother, you haven't slept yet?"
"I also want to boil some water before going to bed."
Wang Zhaozhao nodded and looked up at him, "...Are you okay?"
Hearing this, Wang Xingwen was stunned and shook his head silently.
He's fine, what could happen to him?
Wang Zhaozhao scratched his chin unconsciously, and laughed helplessly. "Big brother, I told my second brother last time that sharpening the knife does not delay the chopping of wood. I'll give it to you again."
Last year, Wang Xingwen went to work with everyone. He might feel that he has grown a year older, but this year he is sleeping at home. Doesn’t he feel bad about it?
"Don't worry, I didn't think about that." Wang Xingwen smiled and patted her head.
He is fourteen years old this year. If he doesn't study, he will of course work together to earn work points, but he must study, he also wants to study.
Even Wang Xingwu figured it out, so of course he could figure it out too, so he didn't blame himself.
However, "I'm a little anxious. By the time I finish five years of elementary school, I'll be seventeen... so I probably won't be able to finish it..."
He knew that he could only study this course until he was sixteen at most.
Wang Zhaozhao lowered his eyes, his mood plummeting to the bottom. Going to junior high school at the age of eighteen... Given the environment they were in and the situation at home, it was impossible.
"Brother, you're studying the first-grade curriculum now. Don't you think it's difficult? Why don't you speed up and study the second-grade curriculum on your own? If you can skip a grade or two, then you can continue with this course."
If Chen Meiru doesn't agree, their grandparents will take action.
Wang Xingwen licked his lips. "Skipping a grade... is it difficult?"
"Is it difficult? Let's learn it first and then we'll see."
It's rare that Wang Xingwen wants to go to school so much, so Wang Zhaozhao certainly hopes that he can go to school.
Wang Xingwen took a deep breath and smiled, "I'll go call Baojia to help him light the fire."
"good."
Wang Zhaozhao nodded, watched him go to the third room, and slowly let out a sigh of relief.
"Host, do you want to help him?" The system popped up.
"Nonsense! He is my elder brother, and it's rare that he loves studying so much..." Wang Zhaozhao was not one to be pretentious and admitted it directly.
No matter what happened to the previous generation, the relationship between cousins in this generation is pretty good, and Wang Xingwen really acts like the eldest brother.
Besides, as the saying goes - broken bones are connected by tendons. It is good for them and good for you as well.
As long as it's not particularly annoying, then of course it's good for everyone and that's the best.
"You can make a study plan for him. There is still half of this semester left, plus two months of summer vacation, so he can go directly to the third or fourth grade next semester." The system gave suggestions.
"I need a set of second-grade textbooks," said Wang Zhaozhao.
Such a matter-of-fact tone made the system suspicious, "...Host, do you want this system to provide it?"
"What else?" It was even more natural.
The system was numb, and a strong sense of fatigue was revealed in the mechanical sound. "Host, I would like to remind you that this is not within the scope of this system's service."
"This host has not studied in the second grade, and wants to learn the knowledge of the second grade. I hope the system will provide textbooks, right?"
“…”
The system's silence deafens itself.
Wow... Speaking of dogs, its host said that he ranked second in the world, and the system will never allow anyone to claim to be first.
I really want to declare loudly: Its host is the worst in the world!
"Is it okay?" Wang Zuigou Zhao asked, not knowing the system's core idea.
"Can."
"Thank you."
"……You're welcome!"
I'd like to borrow a set of teeth from a human so I can perform a gnashing scene. Is that okay? Waiting online, it's urgent.
