"You two didn't rest last night, and you also went to help at noon. You must be very tired. Go and have a rest. It doesn't matter if the land reclamation work is done a day earlier or later." Qiao Mo hurriedly stopped them.
"How could such a small thing possibly tire us out?" They insisted on staying to help.
"Brother Kang, since you don't want to go, then let's dig a pit to raise earthworms first. Raise the earthworms while the weather is still hot, and then feed them when the goslings catch them." Qiao Mo remembered raising earthworms to feed the geese.
"Mo Mo said yes. Let's find a place to dig a hole first. Then we can throw rotten vegetable leaves and other things in it, and then slowly dig some earthworms in." Han Yimo said repeatedly.
The three decided to put the earthworm pit under the tung tree next to their vegetable garden. It was covered by the broad tree canopy, with very short direct sunlight, and the environment was cool and moist, which was very suitable for the growth of earthworms.
The earthworm pit doesn't need to be too big, one person is enough to dig it. Leave Han Yimo to dig the pit there, and Qiao Mo and Kang Mingyuan go to open up the wasteland.
The three of them worked very hard. Before going to work, Han Yimo had already dug the earthworm pit, picked up a lot of fallen leaves and rotten vegetable leaves and threw them in, and scooped some water from the paddy field behind.
Qiao Mo and Kang Mingyuan also achieved good results. They cleared more than half of the wasteland and would be able to clear it completely by the time they got off work in the afternoon.
In the afternoon, they still had to turn over the sweet potato vines. Shao Lidong thought Liu Ruoling was not tactful at noon, so he simply gave up the task. After soliciting everyone's opinions, he formed a group with Hua Mingli and Tang Xinmei, Qiao Mo formed a group with Kang Mingyuan and Han Yima, Wang Jiaming, Wu Shudong and Chen Ran formed a group, and Chu Maoshen formed a group with Liu Ruoling. Whichever group finished could go first.
Although Qiao Mo worked very hard, she did not dare to show off too much. She followed Kang Mingyuan closely and was slightly faster than Han Yimo.
Their group worked at a similar speed to Shao Lidong and his team, and they even left work earlier than the others when they finished.
After they left, Kang Mingyuan asked Qiao Mo to cook while he and Han Yimo went to open up the wasteland.
Seeing the determination in their eyes, Qiao Mo had no choice but to agree. She went over to light a fire and cook. There was rabbit meat left for lunch, and she only had to stir-fry some sweet potato leaves.
When she came back, she had already picked all the tender leaves. As for the stems, she put part of them into the wooden bracelet space as before, and gave the rest and the old leaves to Aunt Wu.
When the meal was ready, she went to call Kang Mingyuan and the others to come and eat.
After dinner, the three of them went to the wasteland again and cleared all the wasteland in one go. Seeing that the land was too barren, they looked at the silt by the river, which was the stuff of fertile land, so they went to get a basket, ready to pick up some dried river mud to cover it. Kang Mingyuan and Han Yimo saw her picking up river mud and asked why.
"The river mud is very rich. Our private plots are too thin. I want to pick some river mud to cover them, so that we can have more harvests in the future," Qiao Mo explained.
"Let's go together." Kang Mingyuan and Han Yimo also said they would go together after hearing this.
So the three of them started to carry river mud. They planned to cover Qiao Mo's private plot with a layer of river mud. If it worked, they would transform their two private plots later.
In the next few days, after work, except for eating and resting, they spent all their time carrying river mud. After four or five days of hard work, they finally covered the two pieces of land with a thick layer of river mud.
"The mission is finally completed." Thinking that it might rain in the next two days, they prepared the land and divided it into rows, sprinkled wood ash on it, and planted all the cabbage seeds and radish seeds they got from Aunt Wu.
Sure enough, it started to drizzle in the middle of the night, and Qiao Mo exclaimed that he was lucky.
