Generals take care of their children: The master mother leads the system to farm
Chapter 167: What is the use of rice and corn?
Hu Chunshan took his father to the two acres of land at the foot of the hillside.
He pointed to two flat plots of land at the bottom of the field and said, "Dad, the stones have been cleared. Madam Li said that this plot near the ditch should be used to grow rice." After thinking for a while, he added, "It should be called... dry rice."
"There's a field over there where they grow corn. I've never seen what corn looks like..."
At their feet was the very edge of the bamboo forest, and a thin stream of water flowed through the two plots of land along a small ditch along the edge of the hillside.
The water flow from the mountain through Lushui Village is also limited. The sandy and rocky ground at the foot of the mountain cannot retain water. Only these two leaky places are often moist.
Where did the water on the mountain go?
It made a bend and flowed in another direction - towards the Leshui River.
"These two plots of land are in this state. How can we grow rice? If we sow wheat seeds, we won't get a good harvest."
Hu Dexian paced along the ridge of the field, not knowing what he was thinking. "I thought she bought these two plots of land to grow sweet potatoes and vegetables, but it turns out she is going to grow rice and corn."
"Can she still grow flowers in this thin soil?"
Hu Chunshan scratched the back of his head, "...Is that possible? She has even grown sweet potatoes."
Hu Dexian choked, "Rice is not like sweet potatoes. Sweet potatoes like sandy soil, but rice doesn't. You know Liuzhuang by the Leshui River, right? Where do you think the rice comes from? Don't you need plenty of water to have a good harvest?"
"Dad, Madam Li said this is dry rice, not wet rice."
"Drought... Can dry rice still grow in dry soil?"
Hu Chunshan did not argue with his father. He squatted down to the outlet of the culvert and moved the bamboo tube that diverted water.
"It should be possible now. Since Madam Li has returned to the village, we should be able to sow seeds in the next few days."
Hu Dexian opened his mouth, then simply put his hands behind his back and walked towards the village, "When the time comes, I will definitely come over to take a look at what upland rice looks like and what corn is!"
Hu Chunshan looked at his father's back and thought that his father would probably come up with other ideas by then.
But if I could...
Life will be much better for the villagers.
I'm just afraid that Madam Li won't be happy. She has given me a lot of benefits, and I can't just focus on one person and take advantage of him.
If Li Changle knew what he was thinking, he would just say, "Go ahead and take as much as you can. As long as you can get it, it's good for both you and the system."
The original intention was to bring benefits to the villagers, and I just wanted to test the waters.
She and the villagers of Lushui Village did not really have a deep friendship. During the entire winter, except for necessary outings, she spent all her time staying in the house by the brazier, whether in the Li family courtyard or on the farm.
But perhaps by putting yourself in their shoes, even though we are separated by a wall, you can still smell the excitement of this era.
When it’s cold, it’s really cold, and life is really hard.
Being able to fill your stomach is so important at this time that you can even ignore the cold.
The drought is over, and everyone should have recovered.
The next step is to make money and food, and to conserve energy and wait for the next winter.
In other words, waiting for the next game.
When Li Changle arrived at the door of the bamboo house carrying a fruit basket, Hu Yue Niang was taking care of a few little yellow chickens in the chicken coop inside the fence.
Now that the weather is getting warmer, are you all raising livestock?
"Gurgle, gurgle, gurgle... Don't hide. Aren't you hungry?" Hu Yue Niang turned her back to the door and gurgled.
"Mom... I want to raise chickens too!" Yu'er bit her index finger and looked up at Li Changle with pleading eyes.
This is the second group of chicks that Yuer has seen today. It seems that raising a group of chicks should be able to make up for the regret of the missing rabbit.
She was about to agree when Hu Yue Niang turned around.
With good care over the past few months, Hu Yue Niang's complexion and mental state are much better than at the beginning, and she looks like a wealthy old lady.
She leaned on her crutches and came over to open the fence gate. "Changle and Yu'er are here."
Li Changle reached into the fence with one hand and opened the door in a few moments. "Auntie, I can open your door with one hand. Stop and don't leave in a hurry. You might fall to the ground soon."
Hu Yue Niang stood there, smiling, waiting for the mother and son to come in.
After entering the fenced yard, Li Changle looked around and asked, "Where is your outstanding son? Is he gone?"
Outside the fence, he stood like a wooden man and sneered.
snort!
Peerless beauty?
Then the young master must be extremely handsome, right?
"Mancheng and Jixiang went to the fields to plant sweet potatoes." Hu Yueniang said with a smile, "Sweet potatoes are really good."
When Li Changle heard that someone had gone to the field, he first breathed a sigh of relief and put the basket on the wooden table in the yard. "I'm here to bring you some fruit. You'll have to wait a while for more fruit after you finish eating this batch."
In the future, she would plant fruits from ordinary seeds on the farm. Although the maturity date was still very fast, it felt relatively normal compared to the space seeds.
Looking back at the old lady, she saw a look of regret and hesitation on her face. Li Changle had seen this expression on her face more than once, but since she didn't want to say anything, she didn't ask.
She really wasn't that curious.
As for Hu Yue Niang, she couldn't even treat her the same way as Jiang Shi.
After all, even though he did some good deeds when they first met, it was just out of pity for the lonely old man.
At that time, I still had the mentality of clinging to someone powerful.
To sum her up in the words of the system, that is——
There is kindness, but not much.
She can think of the old lady when she has something delicious, but she won't have too much intimacy with her.
Too much worry becomes a hindrance.
This way you can come and go freely and easily.
