Chapter 170 Planing the Fence



Sun Shengnan started to work immediately after saying this, and in just a few seconds she dug out the young root vegetables with a wooden stick.

Then Lu Xia looked at the radish that Sun Shengnan pointed out to her and was a little surprised, "Is this radish?"

The stems and leaves exposed above the ground were as thin as needles, just like weeds, but the roots were unexpectedly white and round, as big as fingernails.

"Why not call it radish or round root vegetable?"

Sun Shengnan laughed when she heard her say that, "You are the same as Qingqing. She asked the same question when she first came here."

Shen Qingqing, who was standing by, felt embarrassed when she heard this, "The villagers said that everyone has always called it that."

Lu Xia also smiled and said, "Okay." There is really no need to pursue this, just like why cucumber is not called green melon.

Then he looked at Jiang Junmo and asked, "Did you see clearly what he looked like?"

Jiang Junmo nodded, "It's a bit like an onion that has been shrunk a hundred times."

"..." Lu Xia was speechless by his analogy.

...

...

Sun Shengnan laughed. "Jiang Zhiqing's description is quite accurate. Not only does it look similar, it tastes similar too. It's spicy and goes well with rice whether you eat it raw or stir-fry it."

"Really?" Lu Xia became interested after hearing her say that.

They directly dragged Jiang Junmo to the nearby area to start digging. There were quite a lot of these things, but some of the roots underground were big and some were small. After digging for a while, they got the hang of it and just picked out the big ones.

After digging enough, Jiang Junmo washed them and chopped them up. It happened that Lu Xia had gone to the village to exchange some eggs a few days ago, so he used them to fry eggs.

Not to mention it looks delicious.

Lu Xia took a bite and said, "Isn't this the taste of green onions?"

"Indeed." Jiang Junmo also nodded.

"Not bad. I'm almost sick of eating sour cabbage lately. Let's go dig some more tomorrow."

"OK"

The next day, when Lu Xia and his friends went there, they found that not only them, but also the male educated youth had come. They were probably there because they saw that the female educated youth had made good gains yesterday. There were also quite a few villagers, but most of them were children.

Lu Xia and his friends were chatting as they dug. They heard that wild vegetables would soon grow after the thaw, so they made an appointment to go up the mountain together then.

Lu Xia also secretly decided to join in the fun when the time comes.

However, Su Man and Gu Xiangnan did not participate in these things. They were busy preparing materials for building the house and tried to build the house after the thaw.

However, I guess this idea won’t come true.

Because it was the third month of the lunar calendar, the ground had completely thawed and the wild vegetables on the mountain had begun to grow. But before Lu Xia and his friends went to pick them, they received a notice from the village that they had to resume work as usual.

In fact, it is still early for spring plowing, but there is already a lot of work to do in the village.

There are many kinds of work to do, such as digging fences, composting and fertilizing, and turning the soil.

So it's been a busy time.

On Lu Xia's first day at work, he was assigned to dig the fence.

She didn't know what kind of job this was, but seeing the other female educated youth all looking so serious, she couldn't help but feel curious.

Only after I got there did I realize that digging the stalks was to dig out the roots of the corn left in the ground after last year's corn was harvested.

It sounds simple, but it is a hard job.

There was a lot of corn planted in the village, so most of the people were assigned to come and dig the fences today.

Lu Xia followed everyone else's example and swung the hoe hard to dig at the roots of the corn.

And then... it went crooked.

She didn't care and kept trying. She finally hit it the second time, but the hoe didn't go in because she didn't have enough strength.

The third time he finally succeeded. He dug the hoe into the corn roots and then pried them open with force.

The corn roots...didn't come out.
