Chapter 235 Worry
In the previous few weeks, they had already picked some vegetables and stored them, so today's task was just to harvest the last batch like clearing a battlefield.
As for the land that has been cleared, the plan is to sow some rapeseed to store fresh vegetables for the spring.
Zhao Chunhua walked very carefully when stepping into the soft and moist soil.
Because radishes were planted some time ago, the soil here is loose and prone to collapse. In order to avoid causing damage, she deliberately chose a soft place to step on to minimize the impact of pressure dispersion.
Once all the remaining radishes are in the basket, her next step is to sow the rapeseed.
Holding the seeds as fine as gravel in the palm of my hand, I casually scattered them, and they fell on the ridges of the field like a layer of fine little stars.
Then use tools to turn the soil over a few times to cover it up. The operation is simple and quick.
In fact, Zhao Chunhua did not have high expectations for the yield of this batch of rapeseed. After all, this was not the main focus.
“It doesn’t matter what you plant,” she thought. “As long as it can fill this unused land and suppress the growth of weeds, that’s the greatest value.”
In this way, it will be much easier when farming starts next spring.
After all, if you plan your farm affairs in advance, you won't be so flustered when the time comes.
The weather is so cold, the air is filled with a biting chill, making people unwilling to even stretch out their fingers.
In such weather, asking her to dig the ground was simply a torture and a complete chore.
However, completely abandoning the land is not a viable option.
When spring comes, weeds will grow wildly. Pulling them out at that time is also a time-consuming and laborious task, which is also a headache.
Just spend a few coins, buy some seeds and sow them.
Isn't the purpose of being busy and making money in this world to make yourself live a more comfortable life?
Since you can solve the problem with a little money, why bother yourself?
On the way back from the field, Zhao Chunhua was still thinking about today's harvest. She glanced around inadvertently and suddenly saw a familiar figure in front of her.
"Isn't that Sister Hong? That's really strange... I remember that today should be the day when Sister Ying returns to her parents' home! Logically, they should be reunited as a family, but why are you still in the field at this time?"
Looking closely, I saw Shu Hong carrying a small stone on her shoulder, her body slightly leaning forward, looking a little tired.
In one hand she held a basket full of freshly picked crops, and in the other she held a plump cabbage firmly.
Because of the thick frost and dew in the early morning, the cabbage took on an attractive color after being hit by the frost.
This cabbage that has been baptized by frost tastes sweeter and more refreshing.
Shu Hong seemed to have heard the question behind her, so she stopped and turned around to explain: "I knew they were coming, so I went out early in the morning to pick some vegetables for them to take back."
Her tone was calm and natural, as if this kind of thing was commonplace.
In fact, in her heart, taking care of the little details in life for relatives and friends has long become a habit.
Although the land that Yuan Shansheng's family bought had a good area, unfortunately the soil quality was not very good.
In winter, due to the low temperature and limited land conditions, it is basically not suitable to grow other vegetables except cold-resistant potatoes.
Everyone has already reached a consensus on this situation and there are not many complaints.
However, even if Yuan Shansheng's family cannot grow vegetables themselves, they don't have to worry, because they can get enough vegetable supplies from neighbors and fellow villagers by purchasing them.
However, Shu Hong still picked some fresh vegetables and put them in the backpack.
This action obviously contains her special feelings for Zhao Chunhua - a sincere and caring care.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Zhao Chunhua felt that there was no need to disturb the other person's work, so she politely said, "Then I'll go back first, you continue with your work."
At this moment, I heard the sound of cold wind whistling in my ears, as cold as a knife cutting across my cheek.
In such a harsh environment, even simple words become difficult, let alone standing and talking for a long time.
Therefore, Zhao Chunhua quickened her pace and hurriedly took her child towards home, trying to get rid of the cold as soon as possible.
In contrast, in stark contrast to his mother's hurried movements, the child Xiao Shitou didn't mind the cold at all.
He looked around, taking in everything in front of him with great interest, as if he couldn't feel the cold at all.
"It's so windy outside, but you still have the mood to play outside. What kind of personality do you have, little guy?"
Faced with the naughty child, Zhao Chunhua couldn't help but mutter something to herself, her voice so soft that it was almost drowned out by the wind.
But there was still deep love in her eyes, only when the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, there was a hint of helpless smile.
In such gloomy weather, Zhao Chunhua would never allow Xiao Shitou to play outside.
The weather is so cold that even adults catching a cold is a serious matter that cannot be ignored, let alone children.
Children's bodies are delicate and their resistance is not as strong as that of adults. If they catch a cold or get frozen, it will be no joke.
Thinking of this, she became even more determined.
It’s better to stay in a warm and comfortable room and play!
Although the temperature in the room is not particularly high, it can at least block out the biting cold wind outside.
Compared to the cold and wet environment outdoors, it is safest to be indoors.
choice.
In order to prevent Xiao Shitou from getting bored, Zhao Chunhua bent down and took out the wooden building blocks that he had specially ordered from the cabinet.
These things were toys made for Xiao Shitou by the village carpenter a few days ago. They are simple and practical, very suitable for children of his age.
The building blocks are made up of various basic shapes, including cuboids, cubes, triangles, etc.
The surface of each brick is polished very smoothly, without any roughness or areas that may scratch the skin.
Considering children's habit of chewing things, these building blocks are not even painted, in order to prevent children from accidentally swallowing harmful substances.
Zhao Chunhua looked at these small and exquisite building blocks, which are both safe and environmentally friendly, and handed them to Xiao Shitou with satisfaction, letting him try to assemble different shapes to pass the time.
Originally, Zhao Chunhua planned to make good use of the fresh radishes just harvested from the fields and make them into dried radishes that were easy to store for a long time.
However, when she stood at the door and glanced up at the sky, she found that the sky had become gloomy, with large dark clouds gathering, and it seemed that a sudden storm would soon come.
If we continue to dry the radishes under such weather conditions, it will be a waste of effort.
