"Ah! I am the most capable kid in our village! Look how clean I have kept this land! Not a single weed has been removed!"
You Yu ignored the blood blisters on his palms and looked at the exposed yellow-brown sand, feeling a sense of accomplishment.
"Are you plowing the ground? Don't you need to add fertilizer when growing vegetables?"
The old man who ignored her would never admit that he was the one who was worrying about her.
His granddaughter understands shoveling!
You Yu, who is not good at hoeing, cried: "How about we hire someone to dig up the ground? Can we get it for thirty yuan?"
The old man's hand holding the cigarette pole was itching badly: "You have to ask someone to turn over a few minutes of sand! Why can't you reach the sky with your moans?"
You Yu ran to the hoe, stood up the hoe handle, and said pitifully: "Then look, how can I use the hoe?"
"I'll go to the city to go to the market tomorrow and buy you a small hoe! Tell me what else you need!" The old man was lucky.
If you can't do it as a person, you have to rely on furniture!
"Thank you, grandpa. Then give me a set of everything I need to grow vegetables. I don't know what I need!"
Straighten that arrogance.
Seeing how fast her short legs were running, Grandpa You clicked on his cigarette bag, looked at the hoe, took a deep breath, and choked himself half to death.
Without waiting to buy something new for You Yu, the old man dug around for two days before putting together You Yu's vegetable patch.
As expected of a master of crops, he plowed the ground deeply to make it fluffy and smooth, and dug several drainage ditches.
Because my family didn’t plan to grow vegetables for sale, we didn’t stock up on fertilizers a year ago.
In order to save money, the old man suggested that You Yu use farmyard manure.
"The chicken poop in your chicken coop was poured into our manure pit. It's very fat. Why do you need to buy chemical fertilizer? Just use this!"
"You are almost seventy, can you still carry manure?" You Yu didn't want to save money, how much fertilizer did you use for half an acre of land?
She couldn't afford to pay for the old man's exhaustion.
"Which one do you have to choose? Borrow a tricycle. One cart can hold four dung buckets. Can't it be enough to make a few trips?"
What a melon. It can be transported by car, but it requires brute force!
No matter what age men are, no one can question their business abilities.
If rural people can no longer work, then they are nothing but useless people!
What can You Yu do?
Just do whatever Grandpa says!
Is farmyard manure so easy to apply?
It stinks so much that she doubts her life!
Boss Yang used postal parcels, shipped from SD Province, and it took four days for Youyu to mail them to your home.
The time came just right, the base fertilizer had already been poured on by her father.
It’s a simple sealed bag, and the planting instructions inside are handwritten. I’ve never seen such rough packaging!
But this kind of packaging convinced Grandpa You that his granddaughter’s classmate was quite reliable. He couldn’t recognize anything written on it, but the handwriting was oddly beautiful.
As expected of a professor at an agricultural university!
I pinched a small amount of seeds and put them in front of me and looked at them: "It's smaller than round radish seeds, but it still looks quite full. It should be able to sprout."
"My classmates said that before planting, you must first use the fungicide developed by their Agricultural University and soak it for five hours to disinfect and sterilize the seeds."
The seeds have been arranged to come from a certain place, and the concentrated liquid has to go through an open road.
I originally thought that it would take me a long time to explain to the old man what sterilization was, but I didn’t expect that he accepted it very quickly.
"It was researched by the Agricultural University? That must be right! Why don't you drink it quickly?"
Grandpa You didn't waste a moment, soaked and planted early. Now the temperature during the day is as high as 20 degrees.
Cheating openly and honestly is so cool!
You Yu used the kettle she bought for ninety-nine yuan, measured 1,000 ml of water, and poured it into a flat-bottomed soup basin.
The neck of a glass bottle containing concentrated liquid can be broken with just a little force.
After the concentrated liquid was poured into clean water, it quickly changed from dark pink to light pink without any odor.
One and a half pounds of seeds, two pounds of water, very reluctant, no amount is enough to wet the seeds.
“I’m willing to buy dozens of yuan per pound of seeds, but I’m reluctant to buy two more sterilizing liquids? No matter how much seeds you have, it won’t be enough!”
"Grandpa, my classmate said that this bactericidal liquid belongs to the research project of the Agricultural University. My classmate helped me apply for trial use. I still have to write an observation report for others. Don't publicize it everywhere, otherwise something like this will happen again in the future. , people don’t even think about me anymore!”
"Your father and I have eaten more salt than you have ever eaten. Who doesn't use the good stuff?"
"I don't even talk about milk..."
The three of them stared at the basin. The pink solution gradually became lighter, and after five hours, the water turned transparent.
When the time was up, the old man asked You Yu to force out the excess water, and he took the entire basin away.
I need to go to a greenhouse in the village to soak up the temperature for two days and wait for the radish seeds to turn white.
Who among the veteran vegetable farmers doesn’t know radish seeds?
When you go out and talk about it, many people have been laughing at You Yujia in the past two days.
"Uncle Jun, your old life will be useless. What kind of radishes should you plant in spring?"
"That is to say, just growing some peppers, eggplants, and bitter melons in a greenhouse can sell for thousands of dollars!"
"Their family is old and young. They can't even grow vegetables in a greenhouse!"
"If we didn't have a lot of greenhouses, we would really want to rent two of his greenhouses for planting. Ready-made steel shed frames can be used with a little film."
"I'm so exhausted, you stupid son. You have eight greenhouses at home and they're not enough for you to grow..."
The people in the village are really rare about the land, but they really can't cultivate it.
The donkeys in the production team are not as diligent as they are!
When the weather gets hot, the vegetables in the front start to grow before they are picked, and it takes time to fertilize and apply pesticides.
Don't look at the old man's calm demeanor, right? It wasn't until I secretly called my son that I felt relieved.
You Lijun said that this kind of cherry radish is grown on their organic farm.
Together with the radish tassels, the wholesale price last month was only 1.5 yuan per pound.
"No one in Jiang County grows this variety. You won't lose money if you sell it fresh!" You Lijun comforted the old man.
"Xiaoyu said it can be planted in a month or so. How can it grow so fast?" The old man still had not all doubts were dispelled.
"When it grows up, it will be a little bigger than a finger. If it is planted in a greenhouse, it can be harvested in less than a month!"
After taking the reassurance, Grandpa You stopped paying attention to the gossips of the villagers.
I went to visit someone's greenhouse three times a day, which was much more heartwarming than Youyu.
Greenhouse seedling cultivation is amazing. In one day and one night, the radish seeds are white and broken.
Looking at the small seeds spread in the palm of his hand, You Yu couldn't help but asked doubtfully: "Can't you just throw it in the soil? There are white spots!"
Grandpa You looked at her like she was an idiot: "Let's plant some seeds! One carrot and one pit."
Plant one by one?
You Yu: I chose to save money and time, but did I save loneliness?
