Mao Li was in a hurry and didn't even bother to check the time. She quickly took out a piece of cardboard, put the lettuce shreds on it, and placed it on the windowsill.
Wait for the night breeze to cool it down, then take it out to dry in the sun tomorrow.
However, he had just entered the kitchen to prepare dinner, and not long after, the door opened and his son Song Xuehai was soaked like a drowned rat.
"This heavy rain came too quickly."
As soon as he got out of the car, there was a crackling sound. He closed the door and ran back, soaking wet. He hurried back to the room to change clothes, but he was stunned for a moment, and then shouted loudly:
"Mom, I sent you a message this afternoon telling you to close the windows, why didn't you close them? The bay window is covered in rain."
As for the shredded lettuce that I worked so hard to collect throughout the afternoon - forget it, don't even look at it, the cardboard underneath is all soaked and rotten.
Mao Li looked at the news she had missed and felt so overwhelmed.
…
Song Tan didn't know that his aunt's blood pressure rose three times a day, and that she lived such a wonderful life.
But she should have gone back, but after thinking about it, she turned the steering wheel and went straight into the mall.
Since I plan to do live broadcasts more often in the future, I have to buy a mobile phone specifically for live broadcasts. Otherwise, Qiao Qiao will always be holding her mobile phone, which will easily delay things.
Next, my good little brother has been behaving well recently, so let’s buy him a tablet computer to watch cartoons on!
Alas, I said I would make time to take him to the amusement park, but now looking at my schedule, I realize that I really thought farm work was easy.
Just after paying the money, Song Sancheng called again: "Tan Tan, when you come back, go to the building materials market and pick up some colored steel tiles. Your grandfather and I are building a stove, and we need to build a shed for it."
Otherwise it will be really troublesome when it rains and blows.
The so-called color steel tiles are an economical and practical material that is popular nowadays after the asbestos tiles were eliminated. In fact, the width is about one meter and the length is about one meter, depending on personal needs.
It’s not expensive per piece, the most basic ordinary-sized one costs only twenty or thirty yuan.
It would be quite appropriate to build a shed as a temporary shelter now.
This is the money... I spent a little money to buy the mobile phone and tablet, and then I bought this color steel tile... forget it, a day's work is for nothing!
She thought of her debts and got into the car with a sigh.
…
When I returned home, I saw that Song Sancheng had already built a simple shed near the courtyard wall.
The top of the shed is bare, but the large stove made of red bricks in the middle of the shed is particularly eye-catching.
There is nothing else to do. Just by making do with this, the whole yard looks more and more cramped and ugly, and there is no planning at all.
What can Song Tan do? A penny can make a hero fall.
Song Sancheng was helping to build a wooden rack nearby to place his seventh cousin's oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, and other ingredients and chopping board.
Song Youde took the time to put a handful of tobacco leaves into his pipe: "Tan Tan, what are you going to plant in those fields in the back mountain? The land has been barren for many years. Now I see that it is not fertile."
There are only three acres of land in total. Song Tan thought about it:
There is no shortage of food. Then...
"Soybeans, sesame seeds, and sweet potatoes are for our own consumption. It's safer to grow them yourself."
When it comes to sweet potatoes, Song Youde finds it hard to like them, but he also knows that young people like them nowadays. At this moment, he is only thinking:
"Then I have to think about which sweet potatoes in the village taste the best, and then you can buy them according to this variety."
After buying it, the land has been prepared anyway. I just need to make a few ridges and put the cut sweet potatoes in them.
Anyway, the sweet potatoes should sprout at this time of year, so just cut them with the sprouts on top and show them to your children.
Song Tan nodded, and then he remembered something: "By the way, Grandpa left some space for Qiao Qiao to plant corn."
This silly kid Qiao Qiao is the only one who knows how to grow crops. What will happen if he is not given some room to develop
What is there in this place
Song Youde thought: Since we are going to grow corn, we can just plant half sweet potatoes and half corn. To be honest, corn can also be used to feed chickens, so it is better than growing sweet potatoes anyway.
The drizzle gradually became heavier, and Song Tan only had time to fasten the colored steel tiles he brought back one by one. Now he looked at the sky while getting down from the ladder, thinking that it would rain heavily today.
"That's strange," Song Youde nodded and smiled.
"God is looking out for you. It never rains this hard on Qingming Festival. We just planted the seeds and seedlings yesterday. What can we do with watering them ourselves? God needs to send a heavy rain to water them thoroughly. Those that are supposed to sprout will sprout in two days."
Song Sancheng also became happy: "But the rain can't be too heavy, otherwise the seeds will be washed out, and the magpies will come to the fields to eat them later."
Song Tan's face froze.
The grasshoppers and bugs in the sweet clover field made the chickens so full that they rolled their eyes.
Now that we have just sown the seeds, we have to be on guard against the flies in the sky. Even if there is spiritual energy to attract them, no matter how many seeds we have, they will not be enough for them to eat.
Alas, I have only saved up such a little spiritual energy on hand, and I have to go to the chestnut forest at night to collect the rain and dew. Day by day, there is really nothing left.
Originally in the world of cultivation, whether it was to stimulate birth or spirit, or to drive away insects and birds, one could set up a formation.
But now that the world has changed, what can she use to set up the formation
We can only ask Old Man Li to stay in the fields and chase the birds away every day.
As for the bugs... we can only wait until the seedlings grow bigger and then use spiritual energy to vibrate them.
When I think about it this way, the workload is really getting heavier.
But how could farm work be just this
I saw the seventh cousin coming back from the back mountain. He was looking at the pears bought by Song Tan again and again, and finally nodded to show his satisfaction.
Then he couldn't wait to ask her: "Your pigs are raised in the back mountain. When will you open the pigpen and let them run around in the mountain?" The meat will taste better that way.
Song Tan thought about it and decided that the time was almost right. The piglets were now strong and healthy. If they could run more, eat, drink and sleep more, they could make contributions by the end of the year.
but…
"Seventh cousin, don't worry. The iron net in the back mountain has not been completely sealed yet. Aren't we waiting to send it over together with the one in Taolin?"
"Why do you need a network?" Uncle Seventh Uncle didn't care:
"Qiao Qiao specially took me to the back mountain to see Dawang. He is a good dog. With him, the pig will not be lost whether you install the iron net or not!"
"Besides, dogs on the grassland can herd sheep, and they can herd a large group of them. How can you, a big king, herd five pigs? Can't you manage them all?"
My seventh cousin can also use his mobile phone. He is like a sheepdog herding sheep online. How smart!
The king also saw how big it was! It was a good breed, it would be a pity not to raise pigs.
Song Tan was dumbfounded: The king was not originally a security guard...
But after thinking about it, my seventh cousin's suggestion is not impossible. It would be fine to raise five pigs in the mountain behind my house.
If we raise more in the future, do we have to fence them off on all sides
It would be better to train the king to feed the pigs while the pigs are still small... No, let the pigs go!
