The Pretty Military Wife

Chapter 108 Abundant Vegetable Seeds

Liang Xinyue straightened up, was stunned for a moment, and then heard Xiao Wei say:

“It’s a big bag.”

Liang Xinyue suddenly thought of what this was. It should be the seeds sent by her family.

Liang Xinyue patted the mud on her hands and said:

"Sister Fu, you guys take good care of the child. I'll go back and take a look. Maybe the seeds that my brother collected for me have been collected."

Liang Xinyue told Yaya to take good care of the younger ones, then ran back with Xiao Wei.

But when she saw the two baskets placed at the door of her house, she was still a little dumbfounded. Two baskets, how many seeds could they hold?

The basket is also covered with a burlap bag.

Xiao Wei and another little soldier helped Liang Xinyue move into the yard before she opened it and looked at it.

Looking at the two full baskets, Liang Xinyue smiled.

I was laughing but tears started to flow again.

Before she came out, she knew the situation in her hometown. The Zhou family could only eat their fill by eating sweet potatoes and cornmeal.

But in the Liang family, the adults still eat bran flour. Children cannot swallow the cakes made from that coarse flour.

Although there was such a shortage of food, he still managed to collect two baskets of various things for himself.

This is what they got in exchange for food given to others.

Seeing the letters in the basket, Liang Jun said that these were the seeds he had asked for from various households. He wrote down a list of everyone and gave it to Liang Xinyue.

And if you look carefully, you will see that in each small paper package it is clearly written who the recipient is.

Liang Xinyue sorted the seeds by species name, and then put all the notes together. These people were the ones who had helped her.

After cleaning it up, I found all kinds of seeds. The most common one was soybeans, followed by wheat, broad beans, peas, and rapeseed.

There are also white radish, red radish, carrot, winter melon, pumpkin, bitter gourd, loofah, cucumber, celery, cabbage, green vegetables, small sharp peppers, large green peppers, eggplant, cowpea and green beans.

Even some condiments such as coriander and angelica were packed in.

very many.

Liang Xinyue wiped her tears while cleaning. After cleaning everything, she sorted out the things she would need for the season.

We have to plant potatoes first in the next two days. After the potatoes are planted, we will open the land and plant some soybeans, green beans, and cowpeas. These will be the most eaten vegetables in summer.

And the yield of these is also high. And there are all kinds of melons.

Liang Xinyue went to the field again and collected all the things she had just received:

"There are a lot of seeds, so don't worry, we can open three more places this wide and there will be something to plant."

"Xinyue, there's no need to plant pumpkins in this soil. I think you can plant them anywhere along the foot of the mountain over there or along the mountainside along this road."

Tian Mingfang said. In their hometown, pumpkin, winter melon, loofah and other melons do not occupy good land, but are planted in bamboo forests or roadside fields.

Because some of these things need to be tied to vines. They also need a very wide space to perform well.

"it is good."

Liang Xinyue also agreed.

“The loofahs grow along those trees, and it saves us from having to build a rack.”

There are still many trees that have not been cut down above the land they have not yet cultivated. The branches under these trees can be connected to form a row of racks, which will facilitate the growth of the vegetables that need to be climbed.

These trees are not very tall and cannot block much of the sun. Because this place faces west, the sun can reach almost from noon to afternoon, so it can be said that there is plenty of sunshine.

Tian Mingfang even looked up and said:

"I can climb trees. I can just cut off the branches facing this way. Then I can plant loofah, winter melon, cowpea, green beans and other things in rows."

Although she said she could climb trees, Liang Xinyue still didn't dare to let her do it. So, they finally decided that one day when all the men were free, they would ask a man to help them cut off some branches of the trees.

This will also help the tree grow taller.

The bushes below still need to be cleared. The further we clear towards the valley, the flatter the ground becomes, and the soil is thicker and softer, so there is plenty of water underneath.

You can plant some water-loving vegetables and some corn.

Several women contributed their plans one after another, and everyone looked at the weeds and bushes in the valley as if they were seeing the fruits of a bountiful harvest.

The planting blueprints of the valley were imprinted in everyone's mind.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that what he was doing was great. If he could really plant crops throughout the entire valley, then what Liang Xinyue had said about supplying vegetables to the entire army would be completely achievable.

Thinking of this, everyone became more motivated.

In order to finish planting these two baskets of potatoes today, everyone worked overtime until Zhou Guoliang and Lao Wang came to the field.

They wanted to come down to help, but were rejected by Liang Xinyue:

"No, you guys go back with the kids and cook dinner first. We still have a little left, so we'll go back soon. By the way, Sister Huang, you go back first. You didn't even have a seat this afternoon, go back and rest first. We can finish the planting in less than an hour and a half."

Liang Xinyue said this as she bent down and pressed the potatoes into pieces.

Zhou Guoliang picked up Xiaoer helplessly, and Lao Wang also helped to pick up Wang Ju, holding his son Wang Zhi, and called Xu Dayong:

"Okay, let's go back first. You better take it easy. You won't be able to see the road when it gets dark."

"It won't take until dark, don't worry."

Liang Xinyue and the others kept talking, but their hands didn't stop moving. Chen Xiangqian came over while they were talking, and Lao Liu arrived before they could make any noise:

"What's going on? Are you guys planning to live here?"

"Pooh, pooh, pooh. If you don't know how to speak, then don't speak. Pooh three times quickly."

Yang Dapan glared at his man. Lao Liu scratched his head, still wondering what he had said wrong.

Chen Xiangqian, who was standing next to him, laughed and reminded quietly:

“Who lives in the fields?”

Old Liu was awakened and apologized:

"Oh, everyone, you are all heroes, please forgive me for saying something wrong."

Everyone laughed again.

They each took their children home to cook. Liang Xinyue said:

"You know what, I actually have an idea. Let's build a shed here to store our farm tools. Anyway, we are deep in the mountains and there are troops watching over us. No one dares to take our tools. Let's cover them to prevent them from rusting."

"Okay, I'll cut some branches and build one later."

The few of them worked quickly and went home together after they finished the work.

After standing outside, Liang Xinyue returned home, washed her hands and lay down on the bed.

"What's wrong? If you're tired, don't do too much. You told me to do it step by step. Don't be in a hurry. Don't lie down. Don't you feel uncomfortable lying down?"

Zhou Guoliang came in and said.

Liang Xinyue said with some grievance:

"You won't let me lie down, aren't you just worried about your child?"
