After those seeds were nourished, they felt more active.
I don't worry at all that they won't sprout. I'll try to stimulate their germination after the sun sets in the afternoon.
After looking at the land nearby, Su Qingxue felt that after two days of exposure to the sun, it should be ready for planting.
Now is the time when the sun is shining brightly, so I have peeled the pine nuts and will do some pruning in the afternoon. When the seedlings grow to one inch in size, I will transplant them.
After looking at the land here, I hurried to the corner to check on the chickens. They were quite energetic. I went inside to take a look. They had only laid three eggs at this time. There should be at least one more, and at most two more. I would wait until the afternoon to check again to prevent the chickens from eating the eggs.
I took out some large leafy vegetables from the space, cut them lightly with a knife, and scattered them directly in the yard for them to eat.
Su Qingxue looked at the large area in the backyard. Usually, most of the space was taken up by growing vegetables, but there was still a large open space behind the house. She wondered whether she should plant something here?
If I don't plant something to occupy this space, I always feel that it's a waste of land to leave it empty.
The weather here is cold, unlike in the south where you can grow all kinds of fruits. The most common fruit here is a kind of fruit that looks like an apple, but is only slightly larger than an egg, and some are about the same size as an egg.
The taste is sour and sweet. People who can eat sour and sweet things should like it. Children also like it. Su Qingxue thinks that she must plant two trees here next spring.
She would go and look for some jujube tree seedlings. Jujubes are a good thing. Even if she wanted to buy them normally, she had to try her luck. But if she planted two trees in the backyard, she would never have to worry about food.
Su Qingxue returned to the front yard and saw that the mud on the surface of the yams had all dried up, so she simply put them away.
Su Qingxue felt that these things had already passed the test, so it would be unnecessary to continue storing them in the space. Besides, Sun Rui had already seen them, and it would be bad if he couldn't find them.
They thought that almost every household in the village had a cellar, except for the newly arrived educated youth who were ignorant at first and forgot about the cellar when they built their houses.
After waiting for a long time, I realized that it is quite necessary to have a cellar. At least I can put the sweet potatoes and potatoes in it without worrying about them going bad. Even some fresh vegetables can be stored in it for a longer time.
Su Qingxue thought about the current time and thought that if she asked someone to dig one up now, it wouldn't be too late.
The more I thought about it, the better I thought this was a good idea. When Zhou Huaian comes back, I'll ask him to ask the team leader for help and find a few people who are good at digging cellars, and try to dig them deeper and bigger.
If the person I find is not capable enough, it will definitely collapse easily. My family definitely doesn't understand this aspect, so I can only find the team leader.
I was thinking about digging a cellar soon, so I could keep the yams in the house temporarily. I wouldn’t have to worry about them going bad for just a few days.
After putting the yams away, he sat back on the original stool, ready to continue peeling the pine nuts.
It has taken so long and been peeled for so long that there is not much left.
Should be able to peel it before lunch.
The two children took the small pieces of wood and poked here and there. They were really interested in every corner of the yard.
While peeling pine nuts in her hands, her eyes fell on every corner of the front yard. Su Qingxue felt that she could not just stare at the small piece of land in the backyard, but also had to look at the front.
You can plant two jujube trees in the backyard, and don’t forget the front yard.
The well was dug next to the left wing, and the space in front was all empty. If the trees were planted more densely, I think seven or eight jujube trees could definitely be planted.
I am just worried that maybe too many are planted. I don’t know if so many can be planted in the village. If not, when they grow taller than the wall, people will see them and ask them to be cut down directly, which would be a pity.
It happened that Zhou Huaian went to talk to the team leader about the cellar in the evening, and asked him if it was okay to plant more.
Also, where can I get jujube tree seedlings?
It would be a joke if you couldn't plan it well enough and when you wanted to plant the date tree seedlings you found that there was no place to move them.
I fed the two children a small bowl of thin noodles in the middle of the meal, and continued to peel pine nuts after seeing that they were full.
But the two children were not as well-behaved as usual. Maybe they were distracted after climbing the mountain yesterday, so they kept clamoring to go outside.
Unfortunately, Su Qingxue is not the type of person who would spoil her children. The work has not been finished yet, so if she wants to go out, she has to wait until the work is finished.
Fortunately, there wasn't much difference, and I managed to peel them all before lunch.
After peeling, take out the drying mat and spread it in the yard, pour all the pine nuts on it, let them dry temporarily, so that they will be easier to fry when the time comes.
As for chestnuts, there is no need for that. At least they have to be opened, so that they will be better whether they are fried or boiled.
If a family does not have enough food, they may directly dry the chestnuts and grind them into powder, then mix it with food and eat it.
But Su Qingxue felt that she had no shortage of food, and it would be okay to make some chestnut flour to make cakes occasionally. But if she were asked to eat it as a staple food, she would probably not be used to it.
It was time for lunch again. Su Qingxue found it so difficult. As an adult, she was eating by herself and didn't want to go through the trouble at all. She could just eat whatever was in the space.
Although the food is not bad, it always feels very perfunctory.
Just like today at noon, I took a few steamed buns from the space and dipped them in mushroom sauce and beef sauce to eat for a meal.
If you wait for the scallions and sauces to be delivered, you might have an extra portion of scallion dipping sauce or vegetable dipping sauce to help you get by at noon.
However, although she was perfunctory herself, she was not so perfunctory towards her two sons.
Because it was already past ten o'clock and almost eleven o'clock when they had the noodles, I steamed two eggs for them for lunch and dripped two drops of sesame oil on them. They smelled particularly fragrant.
Children at this age have very strong appetites and love to eat everything, let alone steamed eggs dripping with sesame oil.
After finishing their meal and drinking a glass of milk, they climbed onto the kang by themselves without Su Qingxue reminding them. The two of them were very well-behaved.
They also have the habit of taking a nap, so they go straight to the kang when the time comes. Su Qingxue only needs to stay by their side and pat their backs.
After coaxing the two children to sleep, Su Qingxue closed her eyes and fell asleep in less than two minutes.
This is a habit I developed with my children. When the time comes, I just want to take a nap.
