"It's all you, it's all your fault! You worthless man, useless! You can't even control your own daughter! Forcing my Hui'er to go to a dead end! A bitch with no conscience!" Ruan Shi Staring at Fang's father, cursing and scolding Fang Qing again.

Fang Yao stomped his feet and begged: "Mother! Mother! Just say a few words less! Brother-in-law's temper is not a joke, haven't you made enough trouble!"

He said angrily: "If you and Huier hadn't always bullied my sister in the past, and Zong Xiao wanted things that didn't belong to you, things wouldn't have reached the point where they are today! If you are a concubine, you can be a concubine. For the sake of your brother-in-law, I guess Meng San Master won't treat Hui'er badly! If you make a fuss again, if it gets to the ears of brother-in-law, it will be hard to say!"

Ruan Shi was frightened, subconsciously glanced towards the door, and cried for her daughter again.

Fang's father grabbed her, stared at her and shouted in a deep voice: "Is what A Yao just said true? You have been bullying Ah Qing for so many years?"

Ruan felt guilty, and subconsciously avoided looking at him.

Fang's father immediately confirmed the conjecture in his heart. He was shocked, angry and regretful for a while, staring at Ruan Shi with a livid face and said, "It's you, it's you who killed me! Let me just say, when Ah Qing was young, I was with you. So close, but I don’t know since when, she is no longer willing to approach me, and she doesn’t talk much in front of me. In addition to your instigation, I only think that she hates me, blames me, and is not filial to me. , I never thought it was all you, it was all your fault!"

Ruan Shi argued strongly: "Don't blame me for everything, she doesn't want to get close to you, what the hell is it? When did I stop her?"

"You're right!" Fang's father was so regretful that his intestines were green. If it wasn't because of this bitch's instigation, how could Fang Qing have a relationship with her? Then my current life will definitely be better! Even more majestic! It's all this woman's fault!

The more he thought about it, the more he hated him, and cursed, "Stinky woman!" He slapped Ruan Shi again.

Ruan screamed and cried and fought back, Fang Yao and Liu Rong stepped forward to dissuade them, and there was another commotion in the yard...

Fang Qing and Su Jinghe didn't know about these things. Even if you know it, it's just a joke! They still have to hurry up to build the garden, so how can they have time to take care of other things

The next day, Father Fang and Mrs. Ruan went home in despair, and they didn't dare to go to Su's house for a long time.

After sending them off, Fang Yao and Liu Rong went to the Su Mansion to greet Fang Qing and apologize by the way.

Fang Qing didn't intend to blame them, but rather comforted them with nice words. Speaking of what happened yesterday, he sighed helplessly again, and told Fang Yao that as long as Fang Hui lives an honest life, the Meng family will never treat her badly!

Fang Yao felt relieved, feeling even more ashamed and grateful.

When the couple left, Fang Qing gave them another five hundred taels of silver bills, and said with a smile that yesterday's trouble was like that, and they took it to see if there was anything they needed to buy, so they added it.

Although the loss yesterday was more than five hundred taels, the couple was very happy to receive this large subsidy for nothing. Most of their depression and depression were relieved.

When Lian Fangzhou, Lian Ze, and A Jian returned home, they began to discuss transplanting cotton seedlings.

It is not an easy task to plant nearly 2,800 mu of land.

Fortunately, it's mid-to-late April, the time for spring plowing and farming has passed, and there are not enough manpower, so they can be hired.

Lian Fangzhou went to the city to find Zhao Liu, and through him as an intermediary, he still hired 30 people including Li Qing and Wu Xiaomao from last year.

Lian Fangzhou kept an eye out for it. When transplanting cotton, it was necessary to fertilize the field again. The proportion of this fertilizer was specially chosen by his own people who he could trust. The work of removing and transporting seedlings in the breeding ground is also done by our own people.

The thirty people hired were waiting to plant on the ground.

Besides them, Aunt Zhang and Uncle Li's family of four also came to help. This is one of our own, and Lian Fangzhou accepted it. There were also many fans of Ah Jian in the village who wanted to come, and Lian Fangzhou declined.

All my sustenance is on these cottons, the management is relatively strict, and the people in the village are mixed, and if something happens to me, I won’t be able to say it, and I will offend others if I say it, it’s better to save this trouble from the beginning .

These days, people plant everything directly, except for rice, there is no such thing as seedling cultivation or transplanting.

It seems simple here, but in fact it is more elaborate and meticulous.

Proper method can not only minimize the damage rate of seedlings, but also greatly increase the survival rate of transplanted seedlings.

To employ so many workers to work, it is necessary to cook lunch. Now that the place is spacious, they are all done in the courtyard.

This matter was left to Li's mother and daughter, and the third aunt also went to help every day, and everyone was very busy.

From far to near, Lian Fangzhou plans to plant the land on the side of Shitou Ping first, and then plant the land on the Sanchakou side.

In order to keep a ridge of cotton planting in a straight line, so as to facilitate future management such as weeding, pest control, fertilization, watering, and picking, she also specially got a few wire hammers, and pulled out long cotton wool in the ground with twine. Lines, when planting, follow this line, and the distance between rows is also measured.

After eight or nine days of busy work, the Shitoiping side had all been planted, and they began to move to Sanchakou again.

Lian Fangzhou is no longer in the field, but is responsible for monitoring, teaching and commanding with Qin Feng.

Go around the field every day to see how it survives.

After a few spring rains, the land was very wet. These seedlings were transplanted with soil and watered from the nearby canal after planting. After planting, after a night of dew moistening, the next day it seems that basically all the roots have returned, and each tree is straight and straight, with stretched green leaves, which is very refreshing, which makes people love it very much.

When the land was first opened, Lian Fangzhou led water canals to various places by the way. Each canal was only a foot wide and deep, but they covered the entire land in a criss-cross pattern, which was very convenient for watering.

In fact, unless there is a continuous drought for ten or twenty days, there is no need to water at all, because the water in the canals will naturally infiltrate from the ground, and there are many canals. The humidity in the air is increased by evaporation. The temperature drops at night and condenses into dew, which is enough for cotton to grow. needed.

At the beginning of May, all the cotton fields were finally planted.

After planting, it is care and management.

Lian Fangzhou asked someone to build a wooden shed in each of the two fields, and told Qin Feng that each of them sent three people to live there for a long time with two well-trained dogs. When they came back every day, they would eat alone, and bring them to the two of them by the way. go back. There are at least two patrols a day, and even Fangzhou himself goes there from time to time.

There is only 4 updates in the morning today, and there is no more in the evening, and it will be added next Monday
