Chapter 106 Chu 7 Became a Fool
Seeing that Mrs. Hu no longer came to cause trouble, I was relieved. I sent some daily necessities and clothes to Chuqi. I told Da Niu and Er Niu to take good care of Chuqi.
When I have time, I will bring them some delicious food.
After a long time, everyone knew that there was a cousin of Manager Su on the construction site, whose name was Chuqi.
Chuqi gradually became familiar with Da Niu, Er Niu, Xiao Si and Su Lai. Everyone was reserved at first, but later they asked Chuqi to go with them no matter what they did. Chuqi naturally blended in and followed Da Niu to lay the foundation, spread grass for Tianma and level the ground.
There are still few words, but there is more popularity.
In the blink of an eye, it is already the end of April and the temperature is getting hotter and hotter.
The sweet potato seedlings have grown into very long vines. Layer by layer, they are climbing all over the seed potato field. It is the peak season for transplanting sweet potato vines. Although it doesn’t matter if you plant them earlier or later, the harvest will be greater if you plant them earlier.
Because it takes a long time to mature. Whether you plant early or late, you will have to harvest in late September or early October. If you plant too late, you will have to dig it up before it grows up. Naturally, the harvest will be reduced.
I asked Da Niu, Er Niu and the others to stop helping with the repair of the house.
Start preparing to turn the soil.
To plant sweet potatoes, one must not only turn the land over and break up the soil, but also plan the turned land into ridges, and then dig small grooves before planting sweet potato vines.
Even the little Xiao Si was busy burning grass ash everywhere. After the sweet potato vines were grown, he would spread the burnt grass ash everywhere. It would be best to use it as fertilizer.
I also left the clothing-making to Liu Niang and devoted myself to planting sweet potatoes. Every morning, Su Lai would drive with me from the town. We would plow the soil together and work until it was almost dark before returning to the town.
On the seventh day of the first lunar month, he was still the same. He said very little every day, and then followed us around. He did whatever we did. He was clumsy at the beginning, but later he gradually adapted and did it quite well.
After a period of rest, my complexion is getting better and better, and I look much healthier. I even have a lazy and casual feeling!
Sometimes when she was bored, she would tease Xiao Si, snatch his food, and return it to him when he was about to cry. When Xiao Si wasn't paying attention, she would pick him up and throw him high into the air, and catch him when he was about to fall to the ground.
At the beginning, Xiao Si was a little afraid of him and would cry. But after getting used to it, he would start laughing. He would start calling Chu Qi "Qi Sha Zi" while laughing.
Chuqi was not angry at all, even though he called him "Seven Fools". He just threw it higher. He would eat half of Xiaosi's things before giving them back to him. Later, Xiaosi didn't need him to rob anymore, and would just give him half of the things he had.
The two people, one big and one small, are having more and more fun.
Chuqi didn't say he wanted to leave, so I let him be. It was like having another child in the house.
That day, we were busy all day and were about to go back to town. Chuqi suddenly climbed onto the carriage. I was stunned for a moment and asked him: "Chuqi, are you going to town with us?"
"Yeah," Chuqi was still the same Chuqi, replying with a cold "hmm", then leaning against the door of the carriage, lowering his head and not speaking.
When we got to the town, he didn't wander around, but followed us from the small shop, and then turned to the small courtyard. Liu Niang asked me quietly: "Sister Yiyi, who is this boy?"
I looked at Chuqi and said to Liuniang with a smile, "Liuniang, this is the cub I picked up and named Chuqi."
Liu Niang smiled, patted me, and went back to her room.
Chuqi saw that I didn't say anything, so he sat down at the door. I pulled him up, took out a set of clothes prepared for Xiuwen, and a pair of shoes and socks. I put them in his hands. I took him to Xiuwen's room: "Chuqi, this is my son Xiuwen's room, can you sleep here tonight?"
Chuqi looked at me, took the clothes and shoes from my hand, and nodded. Finally, a smile appeared on her face, the first one I saw.
From then on, Chuqi would occasionally go back to the town with us to stay for a night and then return to the village.
Six or seven people were turning the soil, some were compacting the soil, and I was responsible for cutting the vines. About an inch had to be left at each cut, and then they were tied into bundles with grass, with small bundles placed at intervals. In this way, after finishing the previous bundle, I could move on to the next bundle.
Sweet potato vines should not be planted too deep. One inch buried in the soil is best, which is why you need to leave that inch when you plant the fruit.
Xiuer brought the women in the village who were planning to grow sweet potatoes to learn from me, and I carefully taught them how to cut the sweet potato vines.
I took out the sweet potato vines I had cut, pointed to the place where the buds were, and told them to cut the sweet potato vines an inch away from this place. If it is too short, it will affect the germination.
When grafting sweet potato vines, do not bury the place where the vine sprouts into the soil.
After watching, the women in the village also helped to pick some. They all felt that they had learned it. Then they happily went back to plant their own sweet potatoes.
For a while, everyone in the village was working hard for this sweet potato vine. Some were turning the soil, some were applying fertilizer, and few families stopped. They all hoped to have a good harvest in the fall.
Plant in spring and harvest in autumn. Sometimes what you plant is not seeds, but a hope, a beautiful expectation.
On the third day of May, we finally finished planting and even sprinkled the last bit of wood ash. I thought about it and it was the Dragon Boat Festival. Last year, due to limited conditions, we didn't celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival. This year, we should still have some fun.
