Chapter 162： sowing

The latest website: A spring rain and a warm one.

Since she was diagnosed with pregnancy, Pei Xiu has not gone anywhere. She can raise her baby at home with peace of mind, and only go out to the yard to bask in the sun when the weather is good. Now the weather is hot and cold, it is easy to catch a cold, and Zhou Cheng doesn't let her go out.

When it was time to go to the village to buy eggs, Zhou Cheng went there. Aunt Zhang was surprised at first, but she didn't dare to ask.

After a few times, I got acquainted, and found that Zhou Cheng was only talking less. When he needed to help, he would take the initiative to help. Aunt Zhang's family felt that he should be a cold-hearted person. Only then did I dare to ask why Pei Xiu hadn't seen it for a long time.

"She was pregnant, and she didn't let her go out in the cold weather, so she could raise her baby at home with peace of mind."

Aunt Zhang was astonished, "Oh, this is a happy event, your daughter-in-law is really good. Wait, I'll pack a few more eggs for you, your daughter-in-law needs to be nourished when she has a body, and you have to eat one egg every day. Row."

"No need for Aunt Zhang." He wanted to refuse, but he wasn't good at pushing around, so he could only let her stuff him a small basket.

The old man Zhang said from the side, "Just keep it, your family comes to buy our eggs every few days, we have saved a lot of trouble, and we don't have to go to the county town to sell eggs in the cold weather. This is our point. I don’t have a lot of thoughts, so make up your daughter-in-law’s body.”

Zhou Cheng had no choice but to accept it and thank him.

Pei Xiu felt warm when she found out, "Aunt Zhang's family is very good. The weather has been a lot warmer recently. I think the willow trees are sprouting. When are we planting? Do we need to invite someone?"

"Let's see in ten days. You need to report in advance. There are already three long-term workers on Zhuangzi. You shouldn't need to hire people for sowing, but you need to hire people for ploughing. Otherwise, the speed of relying on three long-term workers is too slow."

"We can ask Aunt Zhang if she wants to take this job. She has two sons."

I reciprocate the favor of the people who treat me well, and I also repay them.

Zhou Cheng nodded and said nothing. It was still early, so there was no need to say this now. But he also needs to report early.

After Qiu Baize came over, he mentioned to him that it was almost time to plough and sow seeds after the beginning of spring. Let him ask to see if there is any arrangement above.

He also went to Chang Gong and told them to let them vacate the land ahead of time, but he knew that they had buried **** in the ground.

In the autumn and winter of previous years, the house did not need them to deliver vegetables, and they would secretly grow some **** to supplement the household. This year, I have buried a large area of ​​land with integrity, and I can make a lot of money. Thinking about it, my heart is hot. They are also grateful to the new Zhuangtou from their hearts.

After knowing the land to be used, they found time to plan the land. Looking at the big man, this year's harvest is full, and I am very happy. These sales can be worth the wages of the whole year in previous years.

They also gave Zhou Cheng a basket, which was indispensable for his family, so he accepted it directly.

It has been raining in spring recently, the weather has warmed up completely, and the villagers have also started to work.

Qiu Baize also brought him a message and asked him to see the timetable for planting. They were all planted last year, so there is no reason not to do this this year. In a few days, a trustworthy farmer will be arranged to come with the old farmer.

Then he can start farming with confidence, and it is time to invite people.

The road that had rained was muddy. Pei Xiu walked to the gate of the courtyard, but stepped on the mud. Originally, she wanted to go to the field to take a look, but let's forget it. It's fine if the shoes are dirty. If she falls, she doesn't dare to take risks with the child in her stomach.

It was raining for a while, and she didn't see Zhou Cheng come back, so she wanted to go out and have a look. I don't know if I will be able to sow the seeds in one more day today.

He didn't come back until it was dark.

"Why did you come back so late? You can't finish it, just do it tomorrow." Pei Xiu saw that he was all wet, and he didn't know if it was sweat or rain, maybe both.

"It rained a while ago and delayed it, so there's only a little left, so let's just finish it. Tomorrow, the farmer will come over, and we'll start sowing, and let him record it by the way. Be a witness."

He took off his coat directly, revealing a scarred arm. Seeing that he was carrying a bucket, he planned to flush it with cold water, and quickly stopped him.

"It's still very cold now. How about washing with cold water? You're in the rain again today, so be careful of catching a cold. I've already boiled hot water in my pot. You can wash it with hot water and pick it up yourself."

He didn't insist either, and went to the kitchen with a bucket to get some hot water before flushing.

"How many of them?"

"Just finished eating, and wrote big characters in the room. You eat first, you've been tired all day, and there are still many things to do tomorrow." Pei Xiu touched his chin. There is no time to scrape, it seems more vicissitudes of life.

"Um."

He stretched his arms around her waist, holding it tightly, still so thin, and touched his still-unpregnant belly, "Eat more, it's too thin."

She looked at him with a smile, "It's not yet time. I may not be able to see my feet in a few months. Don't think I'm too fat."

"No." He looked at her tenderly.

Zhou Yong was in a hurry, and when he came out to the hut, he saw how his father and mother looked like you and me, and couldn't help rolling his eyes.

I've never seen them so sticky before, and the older they get, the better.

The scene of rolling his eyes just happened to be seen by his father, Zhou Chengyan swung the knife at him, but he was still nervous and didn't notice it, and he muttered a few words before returning to the house.

Zhou Cheng made another note for him in his heart, and he would take care of him when he was done. This kid was too stray.

Early the next morning, Qiu Baize brought the Nongguan Officer and an old farmer over, and asked them to help record the records, while the other helped to farm the land. The prince had high expectations for this planting task, only success and not failure.

Zhou Cheng asked people to lift the seeds to the ground. Everyone looked at these things curiously. They had never seen them before, and they didn't know what they were.

When he assigns all the tasks, everyone will have no time to be curious, and they will hurry to work.

Spring rain is as expensive as oil. I hope this year's output will not disappoint. He is still waiting for them to turn over.

The peasant officer asked for names while taking notes. They made an appointment to come again in seven days. If there are any problems in the middle, they need to pay attention to them, and then they will report back to him for records.

Although corn seeds are small in physical strength, they are the largest in number and the largest area. Potatoes and sweet potatoes are only planted in three and a half acres of fields, but twelve acres of corn are planted. Cuttings of sweet potato vines should be kept in the remaining fields so that sweet potatoes can grow.

Sow all the seeds, others can take a breather, but he can't. Even if a few long-term workers live on the ground, he is not at ease, and he has to look back and forth every day, hoping to sprout sooner.
