Chapter 220 Growing Cotton

Although Shen Qingqian was thinking about building a brick kiln, the weather was getting colder day by day, and the top priority was to get the cotton out.

The Shen family drinks divine spring water as usual, but this water will only passively repair the body when it feels unwell, and its ability to withstand cold is only marginal. Adults can still hold on, but children cannot.

Under normal circumstances, cotton is sown in April and picked in July and August. After hearing that Shen Zhe kept sneezing while sleeping at night, Shen Qingqian couldn't care less.

The family was worried that Shen Qingqian would find the raw materials for making seasonings on his own, but the fields could not do without a few strong laborers at home. After some discussion, they finally decided to let Shen Qingxiao accompany them.

Shen Qingqian was helpless. She really wanted to go alone! But she couldn't refuse the family's kindness, so she had no choice but to agree first.

This morning, Wu and others went to the fields. Xiao Lin and Shen Qingman stayed at home to take care of the three children. Shen Qingqian gave Shan Mancheng medicine, checked his condition, and then went out with Shen Qingxiao. .

"Third sister, let's search separately in a moment. As for the Shi Zhenhua and Dai Fern I taught you to identify before, there should be quite a few in that area. Two people can pick them up faster." Shen Qingqian discussed with Shen Qingxiao on the way.

Shen Qingxiao frowned slightly, "But my mother won't let us separate."

And she didn't trust the sixth sister to go alone.

Shen Qingqian said with a smile: "Don't worry, we won't be too far away, nothing will happen within three feet, right?"

Anyway, she will act according to the opportunity and must "plant" the cotton seeds in her hand today.

"Okay then." Shen Qingxiao reluctantly agreed.

Today they went to Scorpion Ridge near Linshuigou to look for materials. They walked for about three-quarters of an hour to get there.

Shen Qingqian didn't feel tired at all while walking today because she was thinking about cotton in her mind. But Shen Qingxiao had been raised as a lady and she was very tired after walking all the way.

"Third sister, you drink some water here first. I see there are a lot of ferns over there. You can pick them all after you rest. I'll go walk around." Shen Qingqian took the opportunity and said quickly.

Although Scorpion Ridge has a "ridge" in its name, it is actually a large, rocky, low-slope landform with only a dense forest growing on the top of the slope.

However, at first glance, this place looked like a maze, and Shen Qingqian gradually disappeared under Shen Qingxiao's intense gaze. Z.br>

"Sixth sister?" Shen Qingxiao shouted immediately without seeing anyone.

Shen Qingqian's voice came from afar, "Hey! Third sister, I'm here. I saw some Shizhen flowers and broken bells. You can pick the fern next to it first and then come over."

Hearing her reply, Shen Qingxiao felt relieved, tapping his calf and looking around.

Shen Qingqian did have the two materials she mentioned, but she ignored them. Instead, she took the time to clear a piece of land, uprooted the weeds on the ground, and sprayed herbicide on the ground again.

This herbicide was given by the system last night, and it is also resettable. The information shows that it will not harm the land or crops, and is only useful for weeds.

After doing this, Shen Qingqian used her small hoe to dig holes in the ground. She couldn't care about the gaps in the ground, so she dug more than thirty holes as fast as possible.

She wiped the sweat from her forehead, and before she could even take a breath, she took out the cotton seeds and threw them into the pit, then covered them with soil.

"Sixth sister, we've finished picking the ferns here, do you still have any more at your place?" Shen Qingxiao shouted as he walked towards Shen Qingqian.
