The Siheyuan of the Young Educated Youth

While eating, Qi Feifei said that he had grown vegetables before and had some experience in growing vegetables.

It's a pity to leave the vegetable garden empty. You can plant a field of spinach in this season. Autumn spinach is not afraid of cold and can be made into soup. It's cold when you work in autumn, so you can drink some soup, which is warm and goes well with rice.

Also plant a patch of leeks and green onions, so that you can eat leeks and green onions early next spring.

She knows how to plant, but everyone has to help her turn the soil and so on.

When everyone heard this, they were very happy. They had been growing vegetables for two years, but they had always had this or that problem. Now there were finally people who knew how to grow vegetables, and they were all very enthusiastic.

They all know how to turn the soil. It doesn't require any technical skills and with more people, it can be done in a short time. It's not difficult.

Cao Xiaohui also took the initiative to say that she knew a student's parent whose family had a lot of leek fields, and asked if she could get some leek roots. She could also buy them, as they shouldn't cost much and she could pay for them herself.

Cao Xiaohui is a kind person. She didn’t contribute anything to today’s meal, so she wanted to take on more responsibilities elsewhere.

Li Danni also said: "Then I will ask the team leader's family if they have spinach seeds and onion sprouts or onion seeds." She has a good relationship with the team leader's family and can definitely give them if they have any.

Everyone was very enthusiastic at the moment. After all, improving life is the top priority at the moment.

At this time, people at other people's dinner tables were talking about "the great deeds of the educated youth Xiao Qi."

"Didn't you see that? Zheng Er's wife was ridden and slapped by the educated youth Xiao Qi! Hahahaha, I am dying of laughter! Hahahaha"

"Her face is swollen, and half of it is covered with finger marks. Let's see if she dares to come out and see people."

"This time, Zheng Er's wife has met a tough guy. Let's see if she dares to be arrogant again in the future!"

"A dog will never change its nature! If you don't dare to bully the educated youth Xiao Qi, how dare you bully an honest person?"

"She suffered a loss today, and she must find a way to get it back. She won't stop."

"That young educated youth Qi is really lucky. How come she met him so suddenly?"

"Xiao Qi, the educated youth, seems to be a capable worker and not bad looking. If the autumn harvest is also good, let our Xiao Hui give it a try. It would be nice to marry him."

"Won't Zheng Er cut her down when he comes back?"

"No, she is just like that. Did Zheng Er cut her that time? Zheng Er is usually good when she doesn't do that."

"But this time she has humiliated Zheng Er, so how can we still tolerate her?"

"Do you think it was really Zheng Er who told Xiao Qi about this? How come she just arrived and found him right away?"

"No, Zheng Er is not stupid. How can we give so many mushrooms to outsiders?"

"Don't tell anyone. If the village chief finds out, it will be troublesome."

"No, that's impossible. I'm the most tight-lipped person. I'll just talk about it at home."

……

There are many different opinions.

The village chief said not to spread gossip, but now they can pat their chests to guarantee that they have seen it with their own eyes and there is no rumor. Before long, people in the surrounding villages knew about it.

Since then, Qi Zhiqing became famous in Zhengjiatun.

Zheng's second daughter-in-law returned home feeling aggrieved. After a while, she wiped her tears with her sleeve and started cursing as soon as she entered the yard.

"What's the use of this old man? My wife is being bullied at home, and she doesn't even come home. She always points her finger at me for everything. What do you need me for?"

Cursing while cooking.

"Da Ya, Da Ya, put your little brother on the kang and feed the chickens. He won't move if you don't ask him to do anything. If you can pick mushrooms, is it that important?"

He covered his face with his hands: "It really hurts her! Sooner or later, I will kill her! Let her show off!"

Looking back, I saw that Daya had not come out yet. The youngest son didn't want to get on the kang and wanted his sister to hold him. He was hungry and uncomfortable, so he lay on his sister's clinging and making a lot of noise.

Daya pulled her down by force. She coaxed him: "I'm going to feed the chickens, so that they can lay eggs for Jinbao to eat. Be good, little Jinbao."

Little Jinbao pouted and was about to cry.

Seeing that her daughter was not working, Zheng Er's wife yelled, "You stupid girl, why don't you hurry up? Hiss~"

Little Jinbao was so scared that he started crying, with his mouth open and tears welling up in his eyes.

Daya didn't care about Xiao Jinbao anymore and ran out quickly. She knew that the next thing would probably be fried meat with a broom.

Zheng Er's wife continued to curse: "Every day, you can't point to anyone. The old and the young all point to me. There is no good person in your family..."

Until going to bed, lying on the kang, tossing and turning, unable to sleep, wiping away tears from time to time. She had it so hard, staying alone in an empty room every day, and when she was wronged, no one helped her vent her anger, and no one felt sorry for her.

"Woo~wu~wu~"

She had never suffered such a great injustice as today, and she couldn't get over it no matter how hard she tried.

She thought bitterly: Today the village chief caught up with me. The village chief can't catch up with me every time. Sooner or later, he will take revenge! Her brothers from her mother's family are not vegetarians.

Qi Feifei didn't know all this at the moment. After dinner, when it was still light, everyone worked hard to clean up the garden. They pulled out the bad seedlings, removed the weeds, and turned over the land. Strength lies in numbers, and the work was done by dark.

Qi Feifei took off her clothes and shoes, washed them, hung them up, and went to bed.

The next morning, I woke up at daybreak, got up quietly, took my sickle and went to the willow meadow again. This time I didn't bring a basket, as I planned to cut more willow branches and carry them back at once to prepare the required amount.

At around seven in the morning, she came back carrying two large bundles of peeled willow branches. It was just in time for dinner, so she divided the branches into small bundles and hung them out to dry.

After a while, Li Danni brought back the spinach seeds and onion seeds, and Cuihua also gave some cabbage seeds and onion seedlings. It didn't cost a penny.

Onion seeds should be planted in late August or early September, so they are stored first.

Qi Feifei led everyone to start planting spinach, cabbage and onion seedlings.

Make ridges according to the type of plant you want to plant.

Spinach and cabbage are grown in large ridges, with some farmyard manure added. The entire ridge should be ten to twenty centimeters higher than the flat ground. The soil on top is broken up and made fine, and a wooden stick is used to press out strips about ten centimeters wide.

Sow rapeseed in rows in the marks made by the wooden sticks, then cover with soil and compact it lightly with your hands.

Then spread a layer of wood ash on top and sprinkle water on it.

When planting onion seedlings, you should dig ridges like you would for crops. It would be best to put some kang hole ash underneath. The boys would immediately look through each household's garbage dump to see which one had kang hole ash and bring back a few baskets.

I have to say that enthusiasm is very important. I finished the work in more than an hour.

Not long after, Cao Xiaohui also dug up the leek roots, but she gave the other person three cents. The leeks were growing well and they had no intention of digging them up. Moreover, they needed a large quantity and any less would not be enough for them to eat.

She bought some from her students' parents and several of her neighbors, and planted a large area of ​​it, now most of the vegetable garden is planted.

The crops needed watering, so the male educated youth took the initiative to shoulder the heavy burden of carrying water back from the creek, which was not very short and there was only a pair of buckets. Everyone took turns carrying the water and it took an entire afternoon to finish the job.

Everyone was happily waiting for the results.

Of course, some people didn't really believe that Qi Feifei could grow good vegetables, but except for Cao Xiaohui, the others just did some work. If they failed, they wouldn't lose anything, so it was no big deal, and they all showed their support.
