There are many varieties of cold-resistant vegetables suitable for growing in winter.
Before Yu Weimin built the greenhouse frame, he had already selected several common species.
There are celery, coriander, leeks, spinach, lettuce, chives, garlic sprouts, garlic chives and peppers.
Now the seedlings have emerged, which is very pleasing.
It took Yu Yuan and I one day to complete the construction of twenty plastic greenhouses.
He also asked Yu You to call several families living in the cowshed to come and study.
Grandpa Zheng Hong was amazed.
"Ancient documents mention greenhouses, but they were made of glazed tiles or glass. They were large and expensive."
Yu Weimin smiled and said, "Uncle Zheng is right. This greenhouse is low and needs to be opened when watering. It's not as convenient as a big one. But it's easy to build."
"I have extra seeds and plastic sheets here, so don't leave your plots idle."
"It's just like when it's cold you need to cover yourself with a blanket. As long as you choose the right seeds, you can still have a harvest in winter."
After Qin Wei took two doses of medicine, the heavy stone pressing on his chest felt much lighter.
"That's a good idea, my dear. I'll ask Zhiheng and Zhidong to plant some too. Maybe we can have fresh vegetables to eat this winter."
Fan Qin's swelling has gradually subsided, and Zhou Xing'an trusts You very much.
They were very grateful when they heard that Yu Weimin was willing to lead them to grow winter vegetables.
The three families did not want to waste a moment, so they each took seeds, plastic sheets and nylon ropes and went to work.
As for Cao Xiu, the other two men called the women from the two families to discuss making clothes.
Grandma Qin, Zhang Shuying, was overjoyed as she touched the two pieces of cloth: "Although these cloths have some flaws, they are all new pure cotton cloth."
Wang Yuerong was also very happy. The family's clothes had been worn for too long, and the fabrics were a bit worn. They didn't dare to wash them too hard, for fear of accidentally tearing them.
The soap made by Yu You was also completely dry.
She cut the soap into small pieces and gave two pieces to each of the six women in the two families.
"Youyou, is the soap ready?" Cao Xiu touched it and found it was quite hard.
"What? Sister-in-law, you made the soap yourself?" Not only Qin Zhiya, but all the women in the room couldn't believe it except Cao Xiu and her daughter.
Yu You still had some confidence: "Bring some water in and use this soap to wash the oil off the cloth."
Qin Zhiya moved quickly and brought in a basin of water.
Soak the oily part of the blue cloth, apply soap, and scrub slowly.
When foam comes out, rinse it with clean water again. Repeat twice and the oil will be washed away.
It works as well as the soap bought from the supply and marketing cooperative.
Qin Zhiya couldn't help but praise Yu You: "Sister-in-law, you are so amazing!"
Yu Rou said, "If it can even be washed out with motor oil, then this thick blue cloth can be used to make coats and trousers. It's clean and decent. And this gray fine cotton cloth can be used for lining and underwear."
Cao Xiuwei said in embarrassment: "Youyou and I are busy making mung bean cakes, so I have to leave the making of clothes to you."
In fact, she and Yu You didn’t know how to make clothes at all, and the truth would be revealed as soon as they started!
Grandma Qin smiled.
"It's not a big deal. Just leave it to us. It's cold, and there's no work in the fields. We can just chat and laugh in the house and do it. It's not a big deal."
In this day and age, it is a happy thing to have cloth to make clothes.
Cao Xiumei smiled and said, "Okay, in-laws, in-laws' grandmother, Zhiya, Xiaorou, the four of you divide the work."
"Use this blue piece to make a coat. Later, buy some cotton and use this gray piece to make a cotton-padded jacket. Make one for each of you."
Grandma Qin added: "We also keep the cut fabrics to make underwear, socks and cotton shoes."
Yu You thought her mother was really cruel, arranging at least half a month's work for several women in the family.
But these women are also very happy.
But cotton is also a problem. They currently don't have any coupons. I want to buy some White Rabbit candy for my child, but I can't buy it without a coupon.
This guy is so poor that he only has money left.
In the evening, Yu You went into bed early, coaxed the children to sleep, and waited until Qin Zhiheng came back.
Asked: "Do you know where the black market is here?"
Qin Zhiheng's eyes flickered. Although he made money quickly in the black market, the risks were also high. He didn't want Yu You to take the risk.
"What do you want to buy?"
"I want to exchange some tickets. Winter is coming soon, and I want to exchange some cotton tickets. I also want to exchange some candy tickets for the children."
"I still have industrial coupons. Making mung bean cakes takes too much time. If I could get a bigger pot, we could make them all at once and it would be done in two hours."
Yu You couldn't help but think of the winter in the north, where there was only a hard bed at home and he would be frozen to death.
There were too many people to buy enough coal briquettes to burn in the stove, so he started to think about whether he should find someone to fix the kang.
Then I heard Qin Zhiheng's still cold voice: "I know, I'll get it for you in a few days."
Yu You was very surprised.
"Really? Can you really get it? You're so great to have you! Actually, I don't dare go either. I heard that not only do people with red armbands often go there to arrest people, but there are also plainclothes police officers. If you have a ticket, I'll go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy it."
Qin Zhiheng felt that Yu You's way of praising people was very straightforward, and his expression became a little unnatural.
He coughed twice and asked, "What medicine did you give Dad? I see he's been coughing less lately. And Mom, she said her eyes don't hurt anymore and she can see clearly."
Yu You told her parents what she had agreed upon.
"I met a man selling folk remedies at the hospital entrance. He said he wouldn't sell them all the time, and I was afraid I wouldn't be able to buy them later, so I bought a lot at once."
"I still have a few packets in my hand. They can help my parents get better."
