Chapter 613 Spring Sowing
There are also some comrades who really treasure their daughters, or who, even though they don’t have daughters at home, still love and hope to have one, and sigh with emotion:
"Yes, your family has the conditions. It's good for her to be obedient. Don't suppress her deliberately. Who says girls have to be soft? Being too soft is not good. It's easy to be bullied!"
As they spoke, they all expressed their feelings.
But some people's eyes flickered subtly, and they sighed in their hearts:
"Guaiguai is so young, but she's already a lively and energetic kid! Her dad is a living devil, so she's definitely going to be a female tyrant when she grows up!"
"Who would dare to marry a woman like this? If they marry her, wouldn't it be like marrying a little ancestor?"
"Tsk tsk, if you spoil her now and don't educate her, she'll become a pain in the ass when she grows up, or she'll bully her in-laws and make a fool of herself after she gets married. That's going to be a good show to watch!"
But they just thought about it in their hearts and didn't dare to express these thoughts out loud.
But Mrs. Jin was still sharp-eyed enough to notice that someone had a strange expression, and that person was Zheng Lan.
Sister Jin grabbed her and asked, "Sister Zheng, do you think what we said is wrong?"
How could Zheng Lan dare to say that she was wrong? She had made a mistake before and reviewed it in front of everyone in the camp.
Now that I have lost my job and my dignity, I just want to keep a low profile.
So I just laughed it off awkwardly: "No, no, I just think children shouldn't be too naughty and should pay attention to safety."
What she said made sense. Mrs. Jin nodded and said nothing more.
Ye Shu didn't know what they were thinking. If she knew, she would definitely express her opinion: Why do girls have to get married when they grow up?!
When the three little ones were born and she knew they were one girl and two boys, she made the decision to buy a house for each of her two sons. After they got married, she would separate the houses and keep them away from her!
She doesn't want to worry about their little family. Whether they live well or not in the future is all up to their own fate!
But she had wanted to keep it by her side from the very beginning, and leave the courtyard house in Beijing to her. After the GK was opened and the housing prices in Beijing rose, the price of that small courtyard house might rise to hundreds of millions.
She guessed there must be one, because the location was really great!
By then, this courtyard house will be the basis for being obedient.
She and Huo Yisheng are her backbone!
If she wants to get married, she can get married. If she doesn't, it doesn't matter if she lives at home for the rest of her life.
But now her mind has changed again because she is pregnant with another baby and she doesn't know whether it is a boy or a girl.
If it's a boy, I'll buy him another house and divide it up among the children when he grows up.
If it's a daughter, you will have to worry more.
By mid-April, the sky, which had been gray for a whole winter, finally cleared up and the temperature finally rose rapidly.
Everyone's worries were finally put to rest. Although spring planting had been delayed, now that the temperature had risen and the snow had melted, they could hurry up and sow the seeds. They could barely harvest a crop before winter came to the wilderness!
To this end, all the soldiers in the camp were fully engaged in the work and fighting.
Most of the snow accumulated in the planting area is shoveled away by manpower to speed up the thawing of the land in the planting area.
Why not just shovel them all away?
Because all the actions of nature are regular. For example, when the snow melts, it soaks into the soil, nourishing the earth that has been frozen for an entire winter and stimulating the energy of the land, so that subsequent crops can grow better.
This was also what Ye Shu specifically reminded them of when he saw that they were going to clear all the snow manually.
Political Commissar Lin thought what she said made sense, and there were many soldiers in the team who were from the north. They also said that they had heard the older generation say that melting snow would soak the land, so he adopted it.
But unfortunately, God seems to be in a bad mood. He is smiling today and gloomy tomorrow, and the weather is changeable. Therefore, the temperature rises very slowly and the snow melts slowly.
Fortunately, ten days later, after the snow was shoveled and the land had thawed and been turned over, it was finally time to plant seeds!
After discussion, Political Commissar Lin and his colleagues decided to use one-third of the land to grow buckwheat.
Buckwheat has a very short growth cycle, only two months.
The remaining land is used to grow crops such as wheat, corn, sorghum, sweet potatoes, potatoes, and peanuts. After the buckwheat is harvested, winter vegetables are planted.
Everyone joined in the work, including the young children!
However, the children did not follow the main force to work in the fields, but followed Ye Shu and the others to clear the land in the camp.
Vegetables for the winter can only be planted after the buckwheat is harvested, so nowadays, everything that everyone wants to eat is grown in the camp, using all available land for cultivation.
The land in the camp is also very large, half of which is used to grow food crops, and the remaining half and the corners are used to grow vegetables.
Because vegetables are not only eaten by humans, but also by rabbits and wild goats!
They also shoveled away most of the snow in the camp to speed up the melting process, and then turned the soil over and dried it, and started planting as soon as possible.
The shoveled snow was not wasted; it was collected and used for watering.
There were quite a few buckets to store snow. Throughout the winter, the soldiers returned to the barracks to recuperate. When they were not training, they had nothing to do, so they made ceramic buckets and jars. There were also many people with good skills who followed Xiao Qin to make wooden barrels.
Anyway, it doesn’t matter whether the shape and workmanship are good or not, as long as it is practical and durable!
As soon as there was movement in the camp, Camp No. 2 and the area inside the wall followed closely.
In fact, it is not only the people in the camp who are anxiously worried about the delay of spring planting. The people in Camp No. 2 and inside the wall are even more worried, because they not only have to grow food for themselves, they also have to turn in task food!
They use every corner of the land to grow crops, but they seldom grow vegetables, as long as they have enough for themselves to eat. Most of the crops they grow are potatoes, sweet potatoes and other crops that can withstand hunger and are resistant to hunger.
After the land inside the camp was planted neatly, Mrs. Jin and the others turned their attention to the land outside the camp wall.
Sister Jin: "I've looked carefully. Although there are a lot of rocks and stones on the ground outside, it can be cleaned up and used for planting. Why don't we use it all?"
Zhuang Jingjing responded: "Okay, we'll plant them anyway. Whether they grow well or not depends on fate!"
Yang Huimin: "Don't waste the land outside. Sow seeds all over it. As long as it grows, even if we don't eat it, the animals will!"
Ye Shu thought for a moment and said, "Well, this autumn we can collect some seeds of the grasses that wild goats like to eat, and then sow them outside next year."
In this way, wild goats do not have to compete with humans for vegetables. The key is to feed them the grass they like so that they can grow fatter and better and less likely to get sick.
Time passed slowly in the busyness. One day, Ye Shu and her companions were clearing stones and grass roots in the open space outside the wall when they suddenly heard someone calling out to her in surprise:
"Comrade Ye Shu!"
