Rebirth in another world is good for farming

After another half an hour, the rain really stopped gradually.When it was still drizzling, Zhang Xiaoliu found two tattered straw hats under the eaves and went out.

Different from the damp feeling inside the house, the sky and forest after the rain are all eye-catching.A huge dark cloud floated over the mountain in the distance, but the other side seemed to have been dug open, and the purest blue flowed out.Zhao Zhengze seemed to be used to the sky after the rain, and he didn't show any surprise, but Zhang Xiaoliu took a few deep breaths in surprise.The air is filled with the freshness of soil and the smell of underground creatures. It doesn't smell very good, but it makes people feel refreshed.

The one-person-wide uphill road was extremely muddy, but the cloth shoes on the two people's feet had already worn out toe holes, so it didn't hurt very much to get dirty.Calculated, they went out at about two o'clock, and there were still more than two hours until dark. In the short time, the two could only concentrate on climbing up.

"Ah Zheng, there is another tree here, hurry up and bring the hoe!" Zhang Xiaogang put the dug out sapling and a small ball of mud at the bottom into the dustpan, and at the corner of his eyes, he saw a sapling more than half a meter high.Speaking of which, they were really lucky. They saw a sapling on the side of the road after walking not far. He didn't care what kind of tree it was, so he dug it down first.Then he searched all the way, and before he reached the mountainside where he picked the mulberry last time, three tree seedlings had been placed on each side of the dustpan.

Hearing this, Zhao Zhengze came over with a hoe, and together with him, he cleared up the weeds next to the seedlings, and then hoeed hard along the roots of the trees.Because it has been raining for several days, the soil is already soft, and the root system of the small tree is not deep, so it is not too difficult to dig.Go down with two or three hoes, then wrap the mud at the root with your hands and press it firmly, and then put it into the dustpan.

"It's almost there, and I'm going to go far away in a while. The mulberry tree I saw just now, just break some branches when I go down."

Zhang Xiaoliu was already very satisfied with finding so many trees in a short period of time, and he was not greedy for too much, so he decided to go back home and plant these trees before it got dark.

After only more than an hour back and forth, the two brought the saplings home.Regardless of rest, the two agreed to plant the seedlings first.The soil in front of the house is not like the farming land that has been repaired for a long time. The ground may be full of large and small stones. Zhao Zheng was worried about hurting the blade of the hoe, so he changed to a shovel to dig.

Digging a tree pit is not an easy job. To make the root system deep, the pit must be dug deeper, so that it can grow well and have deep roots and lush leaves.Zhang Xiaoliu's preferred place was on the outer edge of the newly fenced vegetable field, so Zhao Zhengze made a note of the place he pointed out, and then the two dug together.

Once the tree pit is dug, the rest of the work is much easier.Zhang Xiaoliu carefully took out the seedlings, put the soil into the tree hole, and then supported it with both hands until Zhao Zhengze covered the hole with the soil and made it level with the surrounding land.Six trees, just along the two sides of the vegetable garden.When the last tree is planted, and all the newly dug and newly covered soil is trampled firmly, the matter is finally finished.

"Okay, let's try planting first." Zhang Xiaoliu clapped his hands, looking happily at the six young saplings that had just been planted.Because it was raining, the saplings were planted just after they were dug out, and the saplings still kept their original greenness.The reason why he didn't plant the trees in the open space in front of the door was because they were afraid that they would take up too much space when they grew up in a few years.If he wanted to build a house in the future, of course he no longer wanted to build two isolated rooms side by side, at least he would have to enclose a yard like Lin Cao'er's house or the village head's house.

Mai and Xiaosong saw that something new had been added to the door of the house, so they also ran out to have a look.Xiaosong stepped and jumped on the newly covered soil with his short legs, while Mai looked carefully at the leaves one by one. When he saw the last two trees, he touched and touched the leaves and was very excited: "Brother, you dig Come back with two peach trees!"

"Peach trees?" Although Zhang Xiaoliu's predecessor had dealt with farmland for many years, he really didn't know how to distinguish the types of fruit trees.So when Mai looked at the two trees and told him about the peach tree, he didn't know the truth.But just now he also discovered that the two trees he dug up looked the same, so he deliberately planted them together.

"Yeah, I saw it at Daniu's house. The leaves of his peach tree grow like this, oblong, and the edges look like saws. This must be a peach tree." Mai Mai touched a leaf and looked at it carefully. , gestured for a while, and then emphasized it with certainty.

"If it's true to what you said, we'll be able to eat peaches next year." Although I can't recognize what a peach tree looks like, peaches are a very common fruit. They are also very easy to grow and grow fast. It will bloom and bear fruit in the second year after planting.When he was a child, he had never even seen apples, and the two things he ate most were peaches and plums.

"It seems to be true. I have seen Uncle Zhang pick peaches to sell. Some of them still have leaves on them. Just like what wheat said, the edges of the leaves are like saws." Zhao Zhengze also came over and said enthusiastically.

"It's already been planted, don't care what kind of tree it is, just take good care of it." Zhang Xiaoliu finished his conclusion, and walked back to the house first with Xiaosong in his arms.

The floor of the house is hard mud without stone pavement. It’s okay to be sunny on weekdays. After it rains, it leaks and muddy water comes in from the outside, and a piece of mud is quickly stepped out, which makes Zhang Xiaoliu’s scalp tingle. numb.I had no choice but to make dinner early, eat and sleep, out of sight.But the rice in the cloth bag, which was almost bottomed out, and the money jar, which he could only get out of, weighed heavily on his heart.

Several families were happy and some were sad. In the dilapidated house of the Zhang family, several people fell asleep with very different moods.At the east end of the village, where Zhao Zhengze had lived for 13 years, Zhao Datian's family was also at war.

"What are you talking about? I'm greedy? Isn't it because of the two sons of your Zhao family that I have worked so hard? Since I got married to you, I can't even stay at my mother's house for two days a year. The sons are about to get married, have you ever fucked them? What are you worrying about? If you can’t afford a new house, do you want the two of them to live in this leaky house with us in the future? Can you feel your conscience and say?”

Zhao Bo's high-pitched voice was even more piercing in the rainy night. Fortunately, the neighbors here are far away, and the Zhao family brothers fell asleep early in the next door. Only Zhao Datian frowned and wanted him to keep his voice low.

"There is no place to think of a solution. Anyway, it will be two years before Ah Qing says that his brother will come in, and it will not be too late after they have a baby..."

"Heh, he and Ah Qing are only a year apart. When Ah Qing says he wants to be his brother, won't he get married too? How could he be willing to return the land at that time?" Uncle Zhao didn't listen to him at all, and treated him As far as you are concerned, what is in your pocket is your own.

"Since you know that he is going to get married, why don't you think that he is going to start a house? He has no place to stay, so why is my brother willing to follow him?"

"You see, in the final analysis, you just don't want to think about your son. Didn't your brother marry him a long time ago? He lives in Zhang's house now, how big is the place there, how can he still value this small corner? "

Zhao Datian still shook his head, and Uncle Zhao became angry: "Look at him now, how will he remember you as an uncle when he is doing well? I don't care about talking to him! Wearing new clothes every day, the brother of the Zhang family It’s good for him! You can even spend two hundred coins on the sacrifice, but it doesn’t look like you’re having a bad time!”

"But always rely on brother, how can he hold his head up in the future?" Zhao Datian argued with some difficulty.

"I don't care about anything else. In short, I have raised him for nothing. If you still have a son in your heart, tell him quickly." In the end, Uncle Zhao finished speaking angrily, and turned his back on him. He fell asleep.

The rainy weather lasted for a full eight days, and the village was quiet during this time.In the early morning, no one called their friends to go to the mountains to cut firewood and cut grass, and there were fewer groups of people returning home in the evening.You can only occasionally see people coming back from watching the fields in raincoats, and the voices of children yelling to go home after playing with water.

When the sky cleared completely, Zhang Xiaoliu felt that everything was going so fast again.Obviously, I saw dark clouds pressing down on the mountain the night before, and I was worried about how long the rain would last. When I woke up the next day, I found that the outside was bright. Last night's rain evaporated.

He still rubbed his eyes in disbelief, there was still light outside the door, and he wanted to jump up in surprise.As soon as he took the clothes from the bed and put them on, he heard someone knock on the door a few times.

"Wait a minute, I'll be here right away." He said, and quickly packed his clothes and ran to open the door.

"Brother Liu, I'm going up the mountain to pick mushrooms, don't wait for me to eat." Zhao Zhengze stood outside the door with two dustpans at hand, and explained when he came out.He just knocked on the door to see if he woke up, but unexpectedly he got up too.

"Mushroom? Can I find it now?"

"It has been raining for so many days, and it has already grown. If you don't hurry to pick some up now, there will be no more mushrooms when the sun comes out." And there are many people who wait for the rain to stop to pick up mushrooms. Others pick the rest.

"Then can you wait a while? I'll go with you."

Zhang Xiaoliu is also experienced in picking mushrooms.In the past, in the countryside, there would be cloudy and rainy weather around Qingming. When the weather cleared and the sun would be hot for a day, the children in the village would go to the mountains in the next morning with baskets on their backs, and they would definitely come back full.
