Chapter 20: Reclamation and Vegetable Planting



At this moment, Song Yuehua realized her negligence. If she had scared the two little ones, she would hate herself to death.

She expressed her gratitude to Granny Wang, "Luckily, Granny is here. If not for you, I'm afraid something big would have happened."

Although Granny Wang had some concerns, she didn't think it was that serious. Song Yuehua was only ten years old. She had to earn money to support the family and was busy building the house. Everything inside and outside depended on her. If she could still think of everything, that would be really scary.

That morning, Dabao and Xiaobao were taken back home by Grandma Wang.

Song Yuehua asked Zhou Lizheng for a large bundle of straw, found two bamboos, and made a target.

After the brother and sister came over, they arranged for Xie Wenwu to practice archery far away.

Xie Yu didn't need to explain and went directly to find Xiaoyu.

Everyone had their own arrangements, and Song Yuehua also had her own things to do.

The total amount of wasteland purchased is 3 acres. The actual area occupied by the house is not large, but the area surrounded by the wall is nearly 1 acre.

There are nearly 2 mu of wasteland outside, which needs to be utilized as soon as possible.

It is impossible to cultivate the land all at once, so it can only be divided into pieces and opened up piece by piece.

Plant vegetables early so you don’t have to go to Grandma Wang’s vegetable garden every day.

Song Yuehua was very strong. With one hoe, the mud was turned up. However, the ground was full of rocks. If she really tried to dig it hard, the hoe would be useless in a few days.

Eat your food bite by bite and do things step by step.

I bought two bamboo pallasses and two bamboo brooms from a bamboo craftsman.

First move the large stones away, then use a bamboo shovel to bring the slightly larger stones together, and then use a bamboo broom to sweep the small stones together.

After cleaning the ground, you still have to wet the soil.

Song Yuehua carried more than ten loads of water back and forth, and after watering the soil until it was completely soaked, she could finally turn the soil with a hoe.

I worked like this for the whole morning, and before I was halfway done, I was so tired that I couldn't speak.

Lunch was the sausage and mushroom rice cooked by Xiaoyu. Song Yuehua ate two big bowls in silence.

Seeing that the master was as tired as a dog, Xie Wenwu comforted him, "Master, I will help you in the afternoon, so you won't be so tired."

Song Yuehua nodded tiredly.

Suddenly thinking of something, Song Yuehua got up and found Zhou Ergui, handed him two taels of silver, and asked him to bring back 15 kilograms of white rice, 20 kilograms of brown rice, and a large water jar from the county tomorrow.

We now use buckets of water at home, which is fine for a few days but very inconvenient in the long run.

Moreover, when watering the land, the water consumption increases sharply, so it is necessary to buy a tank.

If you distribute your energy, you won't be too tired all at once.

The reason for buying rice is that there are two more mouths to feed at home and the stored food is not enough.

People often say that the grown-up boy eats his father down, but Xie Wenwu’s appetite is more than enough to replace two of them.

At this point, there were 11 taels of silver left in the house.
