After a busy few days, I finally got all the wheat and beans into the firewood house. Fortunately, the sky is beautiful, and this year, the grain has been harvested without disaster or difficulty.
Pei Xiu did not continue to grow rice, and their fields used to grow some peanuts and beans in previous years. Corn, sweet potatoes, and potatoes already have better planting places, and it is not suitable to be exposed now. The fields can only continue to grow peanuts and beans.
They have little fields, and some people don't harvest all the wheat until they have finished sowing.
The fast-handed people immediately began to grow some fruits and vegetables. At that time, they could sell them in the city for some money, and the fields would not be over-consumed and would not be idle. There are also a small number of people who are in short supply of food and immediately start to plant late rice, which consumes more soil and can only be planted once in two or three years, and it will also affect the next year's wheat harvest.
The rice and wheat seeds in ancient times are not as good as the improved ones in modern times, and there are still chemical fertilizers in modern times.
Before noon, the sky was covered with dark clouds, and everyone couldn't run in time. The torrential rain fell directly, and Zhou Cheng was drenched on the ground. It was a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the wheat was finished, otherwise it would be over. Just use this rain to water the newly sown seeds.
The heavy rain is pouring and I don’t know when it will stop. Taking advantage of this heavy rain, the villagers can just take a good rest at home. After half a month, everyone is exhausted.
The meat that a few children finally raised has disappeared again. Zhou Cheng seems to be fine. After all, he is a martial artist with a beard and has no time to shave. He looks like he is ten years old. . Pei Xiu hurriedly boiled water and asked him to change his wet clothes, and let him take care of himself by the way.
It rained all day and night, and it finally became smaller this morning, otherwise I was really worried that the seeds would be washed away. Zhou Cheng was worried about the crops that went uphill, so he went out wearing his mink clothes as soon as it was dawn. Seeing him, Pei Xiu couldn't lie down and went to the backyard to take a look. The corn was growing quite well, the roots were thick, some were almost as tall as her, and some vegetables and cucumbers were planted around the corners. All are delightful.
Zhou Cheng first saw that the corn seeds were raised and the stalks were thick and straight. It was strange for a while. He had never seen such a crop before, and he didn't know what it could grow.
There are already bulges on individual poles, which should be growing corn soon. Pei Xiu revolved around the corn for several times, some drummed one bag, some drummed two bags, and I calculated in my mind that if each rod grows one corn, there are at least fifty of fifty here. One and a half jin weighs at least 25 jin here. The area here is about 30 square meters, and the real area for growing corn is not that much. The yield per mu should be at least about 550 catties. If two stems grow on half of the stalks, the yield should be 800 catties. about.
When Zhou Cheng came back from the back hillside, she did the math for him, and his eyes widened. This was another high-yielding seed. Pei Xiu thought it was funny. When he rarely showed his emotions, it was rare to see his extra expressions.
He also thinks he is funny, and he has become more and more restless recently. I don't know if it is because of the hope of recovery. He already had a rough estimate of the output of potatoes and sweet potatoes. This corn is completely different from the other two, and he didn't have much hope at first. He only reported two kinds of high-yielding seeds.
Unexpectedly, this seed gave him another wave of surprises, and he believed his wife's judgment. Thinking that those on the back hillside should be able to collect dozens of kilograms, but also lamented that there are too few seeds. If this is harvested, the data will be inaccurate, and we have to continue the experiment. All crops must continue to be planted and planted on an acre basis. Accurately estimate an output.
He took out the paper that Pei Xiu had saved, and the pens used by the children, and wanted to record the growth of the crops. To report, there is also the approximate yield of corn, which was not planted before, so it has not been reported. Now it is almost possible to estimate the approximate data, and it is high-yield and must be reported. This is all merit. It's just that his handwriting is really ugly, half of the writing, he looked at Pei Xiu.
Pei Xiu admired his dog crawling characters on the side, saw him looking at her with deep meaning, blushed, and said embarrassedly: "Don't look at me, my characters are similar to yours, pen, ink, paper and inkstone are so precious, how can I If you are willing to use it to practice calligraphy, you will keep it for the children. You should write it yourself." She didn't write, and it was a shame that she couldn't be thrown into Fucheng.
Zhou Cheng reluctantly picked up the pen and paper to write again, feeling that it was more difficult than winning the battle, but his wife was still making fun of him. If he is alone, he doesn't care about writing and writing. Now that his shortcomings are exposed in front of his wife, he feels that it will be difficult to correct his husband's principles in the future.
Pei Xiu didn't laugh at him anymore, she still had to prepare breakfast. It was rare to sleep in late today, and when it rained, there was no need to work or exercise in the morning, so I didn’t go to wake them up and let them sleep longer. The children were exhausted during the busy days of farming, and they will start school tomorrow.
I haven't gone to school for half a month, and when we meet again, the school is full of laughter. You laugh at me, I laugh at you, each one is not the darkest, only darker, except for Zhou Shan. He was also dark, but compared with the children in the school, he was still white and tender, and Pei Xiu was worried. This child had been covering up for a whole winter, and Bai Nen was like the young master of a big family. This child is also very white and tender. Now that it's finally a little darker and less eye-catching, she is more at ease.
Everyone made fun of them, and they were whiter than the sisters in everyone's family~ Zhou Shan smiled and didn't care, but Zhou Heng couldn't do it, and said angrily: "You are all black followers. Carbon is the same, nothing like me or Zhou Shanjun."
Zhou Yi laughed: "You little brat, do you know what Jun is?"
"The uncles and grandmothers in the village praise us for being handsome." Zhou Heng said proudly with his chest raised.
Master Zhou also listened outside the door, shook his head and laughed and came in. Looking at the noisy classroom, he patted the desk with a ruler and called for silence, and then everyone took their seats.
"You guys have already helped your family to collect them during the two weeks of the busy farming holiday. You are limited to write a related diary within three days." Zhou Fuzi gave everyone homework before class started.
There was a lot of wailing, and what the children feared most every day was schoolwork. Zhou Yong was bold: "Master, the four brothers in my family are all working together. Isn't what we write the same?"
"Everyone says it's the same. You cut wheat, can they harvest the same amount of wheat, and do they each pick the same amount? Do they say the same thing every day? Do you think the same thing in your heart? Don't be lazy, the master knows one One to see." Zhou Fuzi stroked his beard, this big thorn is the most dishonest.
