In mid-spring April, the sun is warm and the breeze is pleasant.
Everything in Tubeishan has revived, and there is a scene of vitality everywhere.
Even the chatter and scolding in the vegetable garden had a different kind of anger.
"Easy, gentle! I'm asking you to swing a hoe, not a knife! Who do you want to bury in such a big hole to plant some medicinal seedlings?"
"How many times have I told you that when I put the seedlings down, you just pick up a handful of crushed soil and cover the roots of the seedlings. They are roots, roots! Grandma, how can it survive if you cover all the seedlings with me? This is Ophiopogon japonicus! It needs to be shallow. Pig brains!"
"...Hey, I just said casually. Why are you so angry? Put down the knife and make peace with it to make money. Come on, pick up the hoe and keep digging!"
When Su Xiuer came back from carrying water, she heard a one-man show in the medicine garden next door. Looking through the low fence, she saw that half of the seedlings had been planted in the medicine garden that had been empty for several months. The seedlings were wilting and lackluster in the sunshine and breeze.
In the field, the old man followed the man behind him, waiting for the man to dig a hole and then threw a seedling into it. His movements were as casual as playing.
Qiansheng has extremely high demands on the person in front of him, and he is deliberately looking for faults. If he throws a few seedlings, the two of them will pinch each other.
"Mr. Du, are you planting medicine seedlings today?" She couldn't help laughing.
Du Buguo turned his head and rolled his eyes in the direction of the man, "Can't we plant? If someone hadn't held back, this big place would have been planted long ago."
After pouring the water back into the storage tank and placing the wooden bucket and pole in the corner behind the house, Su Xiuer rolled up her sleeves and walked through the two small garden gates. She smiled and said, "I'm free, let me help you grow old."
"Hey, come on, come on," Du Buguo immediately squeezed the broken knife away and put the hoe in Su Xiuer's hand, "I've been putting up with him for a long time! If you hadn't come at the right time, I would have been poisonous—"
Duan Dao leaned over and picked up the Moon Drinking Dao that had been placed aside.
"I have to die from exhaustion alone! Oh, Broken Blade will also have to suffer with me. My conscience is really bad!"
Duandao glanced at the old man coldly, flew up to the roof, lay back, and began to bask in the sun.
In this moment, Su Xiuer had already dug several small holes of uniform size and depth in the ridge, "Old Du, do you think this is okay?"
"Okay, okay! You are a young lady, but you are really good at work!"
"Please tell me how to bury the poison in the soil, so that I don't make mistakes and damage the seedlings."
"Just bury a shallow layer of soil. This medicine garden is planted with ordinary medicinal materials. I don't feel bad if they are wasted." The old man was a reliable partner, and the old man also used his hands quickly. Nearly half of the ridge was soon planted. The work became easier and smoother, and the old man talked more.
"You just went to carry water? Isn't this kind of physical work done by Su Da and Su Er? Why are you carrying water for a woman's family? You are so tired after walking so far back and forth."
Su Xiuer smiled and said, "I'm not tired. We are from a farmer's family. Regardless of whether we are boys or girls, we have to work in the fields since childhood. My mother, my eldest sister-in-law and my second sister-in-law are more efficient at work than me."
Some time ago, when the family was planting rice and farming, her parents, brothers and sister-in-law took care of her and did not let her go to the fields. They only asked her to stay at home and help with cooking. Cooking is the easiest job when spring plowing is busy.
Now things are clear in the field, and my parents, brother and sister-in-law have also lost a lot of weight from exhaustion.
She looked distressed and tried her best to do whatever work she could at home.
While everyone is taking a nap, I quietly bring back a few loads of water, so I can share some.
The chattering of people in the vegetable garden, accompanied by the scorching sun, gentle breeze, and the fragrance of earth, forms a world of fireworks that makes people feel warm in the spring.
"It's different when you have good helpers!" A medicinal garden was full of plants. The person taking a nap next door had just gotten up. Du Bugui stretched out and stretched his muscles. "Xiu'er, you can help me water the water later. It's just like planting vegetables. Just water it!"
"Okay." Su Xiuer pulled up her sleeves and wiped the sweat from her forehead, smiling softly and her eyes shining with a little joy.
Du Lao entrusted this task to her, which shows that Du Lao trusts her and she is useful.
She hesitated for a moment, then lowered her volume and whispered, "Mr. Du, these... are all ordinary medicinal materials. Do you want some more expensive ones?"
Anyone with a little knowledge would still be suspicious if they saw the inconspicuous medicinal materials in this garden.
The things their sweet baby takes out are not ordinary!
Du Buguo put his hands on his hips, shook his shoulders and laughed, "Don't you understand this? The old man naturally wants to plant precious medicinal materials in a place where others don't know. If he plants them directly in this medicine garden, it doesn't mean that he is openly shouting at me. There is something good here, come and steal it quickly? The wealth will not be revealed!"
That villain Bai Xiaofeng has been waiting for the opportunity to get back the favor from him. Good medicinal herbs are planted in the outdoor vegetable garden. If you don't tell others, the dog will be the first to rush out and disturb his garden.
Besides, we can’t grow any good medicinal herbs in Tubeishan.
If the ginseng, snow lotus and Ganoderma lucidum that Tianbao took out died in his medicinal garden, would he die of pain? What's the difference between bleeding him?
Su Xiuer immediately realized, "I know Du Lao."
Only Du Lao knows where the good medicinal materials are. If anyone asks, she will say so.
In this way, no one else can find or see it. It is Du Lao who has the final say as to what good medicinal materials Du Lao planted in the secret place. "You can teach me! I'll leave these seedlings to you!"
"Okay, I will definitely take care of it!"
Du Buguo clasped his hands behind his back, feeling extremely satisfied. He stomped over to the yard next door, "Tianbao! Are you awake yet? Let's go! Grandpa Du will take you to play! Xiao An, Xiao Wen, Xiao Wu, come out quickly!" "
Almost immediately, the children cheered.
"Grandpa Du, where are you going to play today and what are you playing?"
"There are loaches in the ditch at the edge of the field! Do you want to catch loaches?"
"That loach is as big as a little finger. I only saw one, so I didn't catch it! Grandpa Po, let's go to the reed swamp to smoke out the voles? I found the mouse hole!"
"How do you know it's a mouse hole? Maybe another cobra will come, and you'll be so scared that you wet your pants like last time! Grandpa Poison, let's go play in the city?"
The man lying on the roof sat up, held the knife with one hand, and glanced down from the corner of his eyes, "I'm going to walk this afternoon. I can't go anywhere."
"..." The child's wails merged with Du Lao's curses.
Su Xiuer smiled and carefully turned over the medicine garden again before going home.
In the small courtyard of the Su family, everyone who had taken a nap got up.
Mrs. Su stood in the yard holding a small wooden stick. She waited for Tianbao and Sanpihou to tie up the horses before throwing away the stick and going to find something to do.
Old man Su picked up his hoe and went to the field to check the water for the rice seedlings.
Su Da and Su Er went to the back of the vegetable garden to get a load to carry the water back. When the two brothers went out, they could still hear them muttering in low voices. In the morning, the water in the reservoir seemed to be only half full. The water level had become higher just now. .
Liu Yuelan and He Daxiang were cleaning the house and choosing vegetables to prepare dinner.
Everyone has their own busy work, and everything they do is directed towards home.
day to day.
