Chapter 187 Chapter 178 Planting Potatoes
He Yu put the cut potatoes one by one in the soil nest, Xue'er was in charge of burying the soil, Xiao Ling was in charge of watering, and of course Xu Erzhu was the most important thing.

This guy has great strength, so it is most suitable for him to dig a nest.

"Xue'er, you can just cover it with a light layer of soil, don't cover it too heavily, it will make the potatoes suffocate, which is not conducive to growth!"

Xue'er gently wiped a handful of soil on the potatoes and covered them. Although this thing didn't require any effort, it was a bit laborious. She didn't touch a few and then lightly thumped her own waist.

"Xue'er, tell me when you're tired, I'll change it with you, and you water it!"

In fact, watering is also a tiring job, because there is no machine, so they can only carry a small bucket to water.

He Yu sighed that this is indeed a green and pollution-free potato.

"Xue'er isn't tired, but it's a bit taxing! I need to squat down and bury them one by one!"

He Yu jokingly said, "Your kid still has a waist? This is already the easiest job!"

Just as He Yu finished speaking, Xiao Ling added, "Mei Sanniang is the most relaxed, look at her cheering us on!"

Xu Erzhu held a strange tool in his hand, which attracted Mei Sanniang's attention. Every time Xu Erzhu dug a hole, Mei Sanniang would wow.

This is a very common and ordinary hoe in itself, but in the hands of He Yu, it has become a different look. Xu Erzhu dug it relatively easily. There are three pits in the soil every time he digs it, but he is exhausted. Xueer, she has to bury the soil three times at a time.

Because the digging of this thing was relatively easy, Xu Erzhu's digging frequency was relatively fast, and he was already several meters away from Xue'er.

"It's amazing, it's amazing!" Mei Sanniang stood beside Xu Erzhu, clapping her hands and shouting "Hello".

Not only that, Mei Sanniang also wanted to try to squat down, to take a closer look at what this tool was.

Seeing that Mei Sanniang was getting too close, Xu Erzhu quickly stopped what she was doing, and told Mei Sanniang, "Sanniang, stay away from me. This hoe doesn't have eyes. I'll hit you somewhere later. It hurts!" In the body, in the heart!"

Mei Sanniang looked at Xu Erzhu suspiciously, at this moment Mei Xue ran over, took a few potatoes and put them in her mother's hands.

"Mother, you see, this thing of mine is very fun, you can go with Uncle Yu, you just need to put this thing in the soil and it will be fine!"

Speaking of which, Xue'er was neatly placing the potatoes in her hands in the soil one by one, and at least two potatoes were placed in each nest.

Mei Sanniang turned her head and looked at Xueer's operation suspiciously, as if she was not interested in this buried potato.

At this time, Mei Sanniang felt that she had grabbed a handful of soil, and then sprinkled it lightly on the potatoes, and then completely covered the potatoes. Then she looked at Mei Xue and smiled silly.

"hey-hey."

Mei Sanniang laughed silly, like a crazy person who doesn't know what he's doing, only knows that it's fun.

However, she didn't dislike Mei Sanniang because she became crazy and stupid. Instead, she clapped her hands and praised Mei Sanniang, "Mother is awesome, you buried it really well, even better than Uncle Yu's!"

"Mother, why don't you just bury it, I think it's very simple!"

"Xue'er, hurry up, your Uncle Erzhu has gone a long way! Don't delay the process, or there will be no food!"

Xue'er quickly responded, "Okay."

After she finished speaking, she hurriedly buried the potatoes in her hand one by one in the soil.

Mei Sanniang also moved very quickly. After Xueer buried the potatoes in the soil, she began to cover the soil.

Xu Erzhu continued to dig, and when he went down with a wave of his hand, a few earthworms appeared in the ground, jumping around there.

"Uncle Er Zhu, you dug up the earthworm!" Mei Xue looked at the earthworms bouncing around in the pit, and wanted to drill into the soil.

At this time, He Yu suddenly asked Xu Erzhu, "Isn't there a river near here?"

"What's the matter? That's where I fetch water! Is it because the water has run out? If I run out, I'll fetch another bucket right away!"

"No, no, I want to say that where there is water, there are fish. Xue'er, pick up that earthworm, and then we will go fishing!"

As soon as she heard about fishing, Meixue suddenly became interested. Growing potatoes is very tiring, but fishing is not tiring. You just need to sit and wait for the fish to get the bait.

"Okay, okay!" After speaking, Xue'er looked around, saw a huge leaf, and then folded it gently, making it look like a half funnel.

Not only that, Xueer also put earthworms one by one in the leaves, not to mention that there were so many earthworms dug out from the new soil, and she picked up a big bag full of leaves in a short while.

Every earthworm wants to be the first to crawl out of the leaves.

"Little earthworm, don't run away, I will have to use you to fish then, so I can give my mother extra meals, and I can have fish soup at noon!"

These earthworms couldn't understand what Mei Xue said. Although some of them had broken their bodies, they still wanted to crawl out.

So Mei Xue took a piece of dogtail grass from the side, and then wrapped the leaves so that the earthworms would not be easy to crawl out. layer.

She weighed it lightly in her hand a few times, and happily picked the leaves again. She put the carefully selected large leaves in her palm, folded them into a funnel shape, and then ran towards He Yu and Xu Erzhu.

"It is said that I have already collected more than a dozen earthworms, and now I will refill a few more! I don't know if fishing is enough? But we don't seem to have a fishing rod, so how do we catch it?"

"Don't worry, Xue'er, Uncle Yu has his own way. The crabs and lobsters he caught before were carefully planned by him, waiting for those shrimp soldiers and crabs to automatically take the bait." Xu Erzhu winked at He Yu, and He Yu also shook his head.

"Don't worry Xue'er, I'll make a fishhook later. You use a fishhook to fish, and I will use another method to catch some small fish and shrimps, but they are not as big as they fall!"

Mei Xue doesn't dislike it either, as long as there is something to eat.

"Then I'll catch more earthworms, and then we can catch a lot of fish! Uncle Yu, then we can catch more fish than anyone else, okay?"

"Of course! I'll make a few more after the potatoes are planted, and then your family will take a fishing rod!"

When He Yu said this, Mei Xue became even more motivated. She followed Uncle Erzhu closely. Every time Uncle Erzhu dug a hole, she would look inside. Sometimes with luck, several earthworms would appear, but at this speed It must be fast, because these earthworms move very quickly. Once they encounter danger, they will subconsciously burrow into the soil.

Children in the countryside don't need to be pampered by those in the city. They are not afraid of these insects and invertebrates at all.

She even thought these earthworms were cute. She held them in her hands and looked at these broken earthworms. Their bodies seemed to be pulling each other.

"Xue'er did a good job, picked up so many earthworms, and then dropped a big bucket of fish!"

Mei Xue chuckled. She wrapped the earthworm in her hands with leaves and put it on the ground. Suddenly, a figure appeared on the ridge of the field. The voice was very familiar to her.

"Yo, so many people are busy here."

"Mei Sanniang is farming here!"

Wang is not reconciled, she feels that Mei Sanniang seems to have changed, you even feel that the person I love is different, like you have become much smarter and something is wrong.

He Yu raised her head and saw that the road to Encounter is really narrow, and you can meet her in this kind of place. After thinking about it, "Mr. Wang, my family is planting potatoes. Didn't you come here yesterday? I remember that there seems to be no one near here." Hey, are you here to blow some air? To be honest, it's pretty cool here!"

Mrs. Wang didn't understand, and thought that He Yu said that it was cool here, but she was actually implying that she should stay where it is cool.

"It's not too windy here! I'm just here for a stroll! By the way, see if my cow is exhausted by you. My cow is precious! Why don't you come and see if there is any loss of my property, right?" Well?"

He Yu nodded.

At this moment, Xu Erzhu just dug the ground to the foot of Wang Shi. As soon as he finished digging and turned around, Mei Sanniang grabbed a handful of soil and threw it into the air.

And the direction of the throw is the location of Wang.

"what!"

Wang yelled directly, and while wiping the dirt on her body, she cursed, "Crazy woman, what are you doing?"

"Are you blind? Didn't you see a big living person here!"

No matter how much Wang scolded, Mei Sanniang just smiled silly at her, and then continued to grab a handful of soil to cover the potatoes.

He Yu almost didn't laugh out loud, he told Wang, "You shouldn't have come, we are in this kind of place, we will inevitably use dirty clothes, now it's good, you can't blame us for your dirty clothes, People like you shouldn't come to this place!"

He Yu immediately put aside the responsibility relationship with Wang.

Mrs. Wang glared at He Yu, and muttered in her mouth, "Today is really bad luck for eight lifetimes. You will be drenched in the rain when you go out, you will choke when you drink water, and you will trip when you walk!"

"It's really unlucky to be with this woman, it's a crazy woman who is born to overcome our village! It's really unlucky!"

"Okay, okay, I won't tell you, I just saw that my cow is fine, you have to remember that my cow can't be exhausted, if it is exhausted, the quality of the meat will be bad, so it can't be sold well Price! Although you gave me the money to rent the cattle, you can’t let the cattle be at your mercy!”

"When plowing the field, plow and rest for a while, so don't tire my cattle!"

Mrs. Wang also wanted to say that Mei Sanniang suddenly threw another handful of soil. Seeing the soil splashing into the sky, Mrs. Wang was startled. Fortunately, she flashed quickly, then stepped back several steps, and said loudly, "You guys! You have to pay attention, I will remind you here first, and I will come to check tomorrow!"

Mrs. Wang's voice gradually faded away. At this time, Xu Erzhu on the side said to himself, "Didn't Mrs. Wang know when Xue'er borrowed the cow? What's the matter with Xiao Yu's renting the cow? If it doesn’t work, it’s still rented, it will cost a lot of money, just like Wang’s search, I think it’s possible to hit you hard!”

Don't say that He Yu is silent at this time.

"No way, Xiao Yu, you were really blackmailed by her?"

"This Wang's family used to be a landlord. After the final blow, her family is still rich. In fact, the blow is the same as if there was no blow. After all, there is almost no one in our poor and remote place!"

"I heard that they buried their family's property in the ground. After the inspection, they got over the waves and took out the money again!"

"No one knows whether this is their family's property or earned it! But these rich people are picky, they have to calculate everything! How much did you rent the cow?"

He Yu just glanced at Xu Erzhu and didn't answer. At this time, Xu Erzhu felt that something was wrong, so he asked Mei Xue, "What's the matter with Xue Er? How much did you spend on renting a cow?"

Xue'er glanced at Uncle Yu vigilantly, then raised her little hand slightly, revealing one of her fingers quietly.

"So it's only one yuan, and one cow for one yuan is not bad. She probably didn't say how long it will take!"

Xue'er shook her head, her face was extremely ugly.

"Ah, it's not a dollar. How much did Xiao Yu spend?"

"It's one yuan a day..." Mei Xue replied.

"what!"

Xu Erzhu and Xiao Ling said it almost at the same time.

Not only Xu Erzhu was shocked, but Xiao Ling was also speechless, asking He Yu, "Xiao Yu, why did you spend so much money to rent a cow? This cow, you see how much it is worth if it is so skinny, you... ...One dollar a day...is too expensive!"

"Xiaoyu, we have to get the money back, at worst we won't rent the cow!" Xu Erzhu said.

After finishing speaking, he angrily wanted to chase after the Wang family who had already left, but He Yu yelled at him, "Stop!"

"You said that I am that kind of person. Could it be that after giving her the money, she can take it out of her pocket and give it to us?"

"Although Xiaoyu is like this, we only have it for one day, and today we didn't use cattle to plow the land at all, but just pulled it out and let it eat the surrounding leaves and grass. This Wang's may not be too... I don't believe she won't give it back, but if she doesn't return it, I'll use my fist directly to see if it's my fist or her mouth!"

He Yu said acquiescingly, "Don't make trouble, and there will be a full name meeting later. If you make trouble, will I hang all the responsibility on me? I paid for this money, and I guess it will come back. I also think that I want to come back, and you are just helping me."

"If you make such a fuss, why don't you let her sneak in? She just wants to drive me out of the village and slander Sanniang by the way!"

Xu Erzhu calmed down at this moment, and asked He Yu helplessly, "Then what do you think we should do? We can't let him take advantage of it for nothing, and this cow needs to spend a dollar for the day, and we have to remove it to eat other food." !"

"The cost of raising cattle is too high. For an ordinary family, living expenses of more than one yuan a day is not bad! Some even one yuan can be used for several days!"

"I think this Wang family is just relying on your money to trick you!"

"And she said just now that she will come tomorrow! Didn't she deliberately make things difficult for you! This woman!"

Xu Erzhu thought about it and complained about He Yu.
