Indeed, the stars were blocked by dark clouds. At first they were thin, but soon they became thicker and covered the moon.
The wind blew, a very cool wind with a slightly damp smell.
Qin Nian's voice was full of surprise: "Is it going to rain?"
"It's going to rain. It's really going to rain."
Mother Li stood up, and everyone stood up, looked up, and turned around to look at the sky, unable to believe it.
Soon, raindrops fell, hitting my face and body. I didn't feel any pain or cold at all. It was an indescribable feeling of relief.
Mrs. Li laughed loudly and shouted with all her might: "Everyone, get up quickly! It's raining!
Come out and see, it’s raining, God is sending rain.”
The villagers who heard Mrs. Li's shouting hurried out of their houses, and it was indeed raining.
Laughter, shouts, and cheers floated over Dawa Village for a long time on this rainy night.
Mrs. Li, who was soaked all over, finally returned to the house. Water was all over her hair and face, but she didn't care and kept laughing. She was so happy, the excitement she hadn't felt for a long time.
Qin Nian took a towel to wipe her hair and helped her find clothes to change.
Mrs. Li smiled and said, "My little Nian is a lucky girl. Just after I bought a hundred acres of land, it started to rain."
Qin Nian was also very happy.
But it was July now, and it was not the right time to plant crops. She had to plant something else that could be sold.
The grandmother and granddaughter lay on the kang and talked for a long time. Mrs. Li fell asleep in the sound of rain. She slept very sweetly and deeply.
Qin Nian entered the space. She wanted to go to her mother's warehouse to see if she could find some seeds to plant.
In her previous life, her home consisted of three large bungalows, with two warehouses on each side. The warehouse on the right was where her father stored sundries.
The left side is where my mother keeps her miscellaneous items. Keeping them separate makes it easier to find things.
Qin Nian entered the warehouse on the left.
What caught my eye was an old-fashioned sewing machine, which my mother had used to make many new clothes for Qin Nian.
Thinking of the warm scene in the past, Qin Nian's tears suddenly flowed down.
She raised her hand to wipe her face. She had to control her emotions, otherwise the memories would make her sink.
Qin Nian went to the warehouse to look for it.
Next to the north wall, there is a wall of shelves. The shelves are very wide, and on the top are more than a dozen thin bamboo baskets.
Qin Nian took one down, flipped through it, and a plastic bag caught her attention.
It was a transparent plastic bag filled with something smaller than sesame seeds, oblong-conical in shape, and black in color.
There was a small card in the bag with my mother’s words on it: Strawberry Seeds—Fairy Drunk.
"Fairy drunk."
Qin Nian murmured to herself, her mother was an extremely intelligent woman. Qin Nian didn't know if this variety of strawberry really existed in her previous life, or if it was her mother who gave it this name.
Qin Nian suddenly remembered that she had been to the county town many times and had never seen anyone selling strawberries.
There are no strawberries in this dynasty.
It takes about three months from planting to harvesting strawberries. I bought some land and planted some strawberries.
If you use spiritual spring water to water the fruits, they can be harvested at least a month earlier, so they can be picked and sold in September.
Qin Nian was extremely happy.
The fact that she thought of coming to take a look at the barn might be that her mother's soul was calling her to help her solve the problem of what to plant in the fields.
Qin Nian said silently in her heart: Mom, thank you for helping your daughter.
The rain lasted for two days and one night.
When it rains, the villagers start thinking about what to plant on their few acres of land.
The crops are not in season anymore, so we can only grow vegetables.
It’s okay to grow vegetables, which is better than not being able to dig up wild vegetables. There are also relief food to receive, so it’s not difficult to survive.
After the rain stopped, Qin Nian went into the county town alone.
When she came back, she was holding the transparent plastic bag containing strawberry seeds.
The small card in the bag was written by my mother. She kept it and only took out one-tenth of the seeds.
She was afraid that the villagers would ask for her crops. It was not that she didn't want others to grow them, but that she had a lot of land and with the blessing of the spiritual spring water, it was unlikely that the crops would fail.
Even if you fail, you can bear the consequences.
The villagers are not good enough. They only have a few acres of land. If someone tries to farm and fails, they might have to blame her.
He just handed the plastic bag to Mrs. Li and said, “Grandma, I went to the county town today and met a Korean businessman whose wife suddenly fell ill.
In fact, it was not a serious illness, but hypoglycemia. I asked her to drink a glass of sugar water and her whole body shaking was controlled.
To thank me, the merchant gave me this and said it was strawberry seeds. It would take about two or three months from planting to bearing fruit.
The strawberry fruit is bright red and very sweet. Even fairies would be intoxicated after eating it, so this variety of strawberry is called "Fairy Drunk".
"Drunk Fairy? That's a nice name."
Mrs. Li was very excited: "Why are you still talking so much? Call Geng Feng and your uncle and aunt Geng, and let's go plant some fairy wine."
After saying that, she went to find Geng's family herself.
Mrs. Li’s execution ability is the best in Dawa Village.
Soon, five people went out. The last time Geng Tian came, he brought the cart back.
This time it was just right for me. The pickaxe and the basket were all placed on the cart. The basket contained cabbage seeds from the leaf plum.
Geng Feng asked Li Pozi to get in the car, but Li Pozi refused, saying that her legs were fine now and that Ye Meizi and Qin Nian could not walk faster than her.
Several people chatted and laughed as they ran towards the land Qin Nian bought.
Half an hour later, we're here.
When Mrs. Li saw that such a large area of land belonged to her, her laughter became louder than the sound of last night's rain.
Qin Nian said: "Leave three acres of land on the side to build a greenhouse and open a stew restaurant.
Plant two mu of strawberries next to the greenhouse, and they will be ready for sale in about two months.”
Geng Zhenhai said: "If strawberries can bear fruit in two months, we should build a shed on the field after planting them, and come over to watch the strawberries bloom."
Thinking of Qin Nianshi's few taels of silver, Li Dahua dared to come over and smash the cabinet.
If the ground was really covered with red strawberries, I guess a lot of people would come to steal them.
"Indeed, we must build a shack."
Geng Feng said, "Build two shacks. My father and I will watch over the two ends of the field. It will be safer."
Several people agreed.
I started planting strawberries. I didn’t plant very long ridges, but dozens of short ridges. This way I could save some energy when watching the land.
Except Qin Nian, these people are all good at work.
It didn't take long to plant two acres of strawberries.
Ye Meizi said: "I brought cabbage seeds, and we have to plant them on this land, otherwise they will be wasted. When the cabbage is harvested in autumn, we can keep enough for our own consumption and sell the rest in the market, and make some money."
Grow vegetables? Qin Nian's heart moved, and she suddenly thought of another idea, and she wanted to jump up with excitement.
"Aunt Geng, how long will it take for the chicks to hatch?"
Ye Meizi said: "Usually it takes twenty-one days. If the temperature is well controlled, nineteen days will be enough."
"Xiao Nian, you want to raise chickens? I'm the best at this. But you need good eggs."
Qin Nian understood this. The so-called good eggs were fertilized eggs. The drought in recent years has been so severe that it is difficult for people to survive. How can we raise chickens?
All the chickens in Dawa Village had been killed and eaten long ago.
This is a bit difficult.
