Chapter 116: Turning the soil and planting vegetables



"It's okay, just go do your thing," said Aunt Guihua

After she finished speaking, Tong Yiya went back to the field and picked up the hoe to continue turning the soil. Aunt Guihua drank some water, put the bowl on the table, got up and walked to the corner where her vegetable seedlings grew and said, "You are really good at planting. These vegetable seedlings look good."

"Really? I just scattered it randomly. If you don't mind, you can take some back to plant later. I can't finish planting them anyway," Tong Yiya replied.

"That's fine. I won't be polite with you. Do you have a hoe? I'll help you turn the crops over and plant them in no time. I'm free anyway," Aunt Guihua asked.

"Auntie, just sit down and take a rest. It's so hard to get a day off from work. I can do this little work," said Tong Yiya.

"Oh, don't be so polite, Auntie. I remember your hoe is in the firewood shed, right? If you don't find it for me, I'll go find it myself." As she said this, she went to find the hoe.

In less than two minutes she came back with a hoe and went to another small plot of vegetable land that had been harvested. As she dug, she said, "You have managed this vegetable garden very well. The soil is very fertile."

"I made some farm manure before winter, and it smelled bad for several days," Tong Yiya said with a smile.

She did use some water from the dry toilet to irrigate the garden. She went up the mountain every day to take shelter during those few days, and only stayed at home after the smell dissipated.

"It's really good, but it smells a bit. In our village, the most fertile soil is near the dry toilets of each household. But every year we fertilize our own vegetable gardens, but it's not as good as yours," Aunt Guihua said with a smile.

Some families in their village have to go back home to use the toilet, just to collect this little fertilizer.

The villagers have become accustomed to the smell, so every household uses it every year. Some of them are donated to the production team and can be exchanged for some work points.

Tong Yiya certainly knew that the soil in her yard was better than others. She had used diluted spiritual spring water to water the vegetables several times, so it would be great if she could improve the soil.

But she couldn't tell outsiders that, so she could only say, "It may be because no one has cultivated the land here for many years. The team leader told me at the time that no one has lived in this yard for at least three years because they thought it was unsafe because it was close to the mountain."

"Yes, some people think this place is far from the village and not lively," said Aunt Guihua

"Aunt, have you planted the vegetables this spring? If not, you can help me plant them today. When you plant them that day, I will go and plant with you," Tong Yiya asked

"I just dug up two small pieces and scattered some vegetables a dozen days ago, and I haven't had time to clean up the rest," Aunt Guihua replied.

"Then let's do it today. We can pull up some seedlings and bring them back. We can dig up the soil and plant them," Tong Yiya suggested.

"That's fine. I'll go back and ask your uncle to turn the soil first."

Aunt Guihua thought it was okay, so she put down the hoe and went to put the things in the basket on the table. Tong Yiya didn't notice it.

Aunt Guihua returned home and asked Uncle Deng to turn over the vegetable patch in the backyard first. She would bring back the seedlings to plant later, then put down the basket and went back to Tong Yiya's house empty-handed.

Tong Yiya saw that she came back soon after she went home, so she said, "Aunt, why don't you rest at home for a while? I can do this little chores at home. You have been busy for so long, you should have a good rest."

"As for me, I'm used to working all year round, and I don't feel comfortable when I have nothing to do." Aunt Guihua walked to the field, picked up the hoe she had just put down and continued to turn the soil.

"Someone is used to doing the work. Then you take your time. I will come over to dig over there after I finish digging this part." Tong Yiya saw that she couldn't stop her, so she could only let her take her time.

She said that her hands moved faster. After finishing her side, she went to dig another one with Aunt Guihua. The land in the yard was not wide, so they finished digging in a short while.

Then they make ridges and dig holes, then plant the freshly pulled out vegetable seedlings one by one in each hole, compact the soil at the roots of the seedlings, and finally water each one before they are finished.

After Tong Yiya finished planting, she kept a few pumpkin and watermelon seedlings and pulled out the rest and put them in a basket.

After getting up, he saw the things Aunt Guihua brought over on the table and said, "Aunt, is this what you brought?"

"Ah, that was sent back by my hungry youngest son in the army. Your fifth uncle and I don't like to eat it, so we brought it to you," said Aunt Guihua.

"Let me get you the money. This thing is too valuable. I can't take it from you for free." Tong Yiya said as she prepared to go into the house to get the money.

"Hey, little girl, I give it to you because I like you. How can I charge you for it? Please don't give it to me, or I won't take the seedlings." Aunt Guihua quickly pulled the girl back and said

She cursed her youngest son in her heart. He had not expressed his true feelings to her long ago, and only wrote to her after he joined the army, asking them to send him things. In this era, no one dared to take things for free. This was just making things difficult for them.

Tong Yiya was stopped from entering the house, so she was unwilling to accept such a valuable item. Finally, Aunt Guihua said, "Well, just accept it. My family ate a lot of the things you sent during the Chinese New Year. I didn't even bother to be polite to you then, so why are you being polite to me now?"

Finally she accepted the gifts, thinking about giving something in return next time. She took the gifts into the house, put them away, locked the door and the yard gate, and then went to her house with Aunt Guihua.

When they arrived at Aunt Guihua's house, Uncle Deng had already plowed the land. The two of them started to make ridges and then dug holes to plant vegetables. Uncle Deng went to fetch two buckets of water and watered the seedlings at the back.

The three of them worked for more than an hour before they finished planting the backyard of Aunt Guihua's house. There were still some seedlings left, so Aunt Guihua dug holes near the courtyard wall to plant them.

After planting, Tong Yiya went home. Aunt Guihua and her husband wanted to keep her at home for dinner, but she refused. She went back home on the grounds that she still had some melon seedlings to plant.

After returning home, I dug a few holes in the earth beside the courtyard wall, planted the watermelon and pumpkin seedlings, and poured some diluted spiritual spring water on them. Then I was done.

It was almost time for dinner, so Tong Yiya washed her hands, went into the kitchen, and made herself a dish and a soup, with rice as the staple food.

After finishing her meal and cleaning up, she went into the house, bolted the door, and went into her space to study.

In the following time, Aunt Guihua would come to Tong Yiya's house to chat with her whenever she had time. The two of them also did needlework together, and they came much more frequently than before.

Tong Yiya also thought it was a good thing that she could chat with her about some gossip in the village, and she welcomed her.

The situation at the educated youth site has become lively now. Tong Yiya feels that she should sow discord among the second batch of educated youth before they go to the countryside. This will be the only revenge left for the original owner.

As for Ergouzi, not long after the Chinese New Year, he disappeared one day because his leg was broken and he couldn't stand the rumors. Some villagers said that they saw him go up the mountain, but didn't see him come back.

Tong Yiya didn't pay any more attention to it. Anyway, she had already given the punishment she deserved. That person's life was more painful than death.
