Before and after Qingming, plant melons and beans.

After finishing their work in the fields, farmers don't have much time to rest, as they have to continue working in the dryland vegetable fields.

April is already coming to an end.

The weather is getting hotter, and the originally warm sun is becoming stronger.

Most of the dry land in Yuxi Village is concentrated at the foot of the other side of Shennv Mountain. It can be reached by simply turning around the end of the village without crossing the Yushui River.

Near noon that day, the villagers who were making fences and planting melons and beans took a break and sat on the ground at the foot of a big tree at the edge of the field. They drank some water in the shade, chatted for a while, and then went home to eat.

In a large piece of dry land not far from the big tree, there were still people working under the scorching sun, their backs and clothes soaked with sweat.

"Xiao Jiang, you've been busy all morning, come over here and have a rest and drink some water!" Wang Quan shouted, shaking his head and muttering, "He held on for so long with only one hand, this kid is really desperate."

Li Fugui was also there. His family was closest to the Lin family and he knew a lot about the inside story. He smiled and said, "I've tried the tea made from the Hundred-Angel Grass that Ah Jiang used. It's really delicious. Not only can it help you get rid of fatigue, but it also helps you stay energetic. Maybe he can really come up with something special this time."

After saying that, he reached out to the dustpan of the Lin family, aiming at the water bag in the dustpan, "Jiang! If you don't come over, I will steal your water! Really?"

Lin Jiang pushed up his straw hat, revealing his sweat-soaked eyebrows and eyes, and laughed, "If you want to drink, just drink. Why did you have to say the word stealing and wait for me to catch you?"

"Hahaha, I really want to drink it! You'll never forget this tea after drinking it once!" Li Fugui was delighted. He picked up the water bag without hesitation, tilted his head back and took a big gulp. He immediately felt comfortable all over, even the dryness in his body subsided. "I'll drink your tea. I'll come over to help you after I finish my work this afternoon! You need to water the medicinal seedlings in the evening, right? I'll carry the water for you!"

The two families live next to each other, and Li Fugui and the three brothers of the Lin family grew up together, and they get along closer than other people in the same village.

When I say I will help carry water, I am definitely not making empty promises and I am being honest.

Lin Jiang smiled and pointed to the road leading to the end of the village. "Look, my brother has already brought water here, but I don't mind if you help me. The more the better. You're saving your energy anyway."

The man and woman at the foot of the tree looked towards the road and saw the two brothers from the Lin family coming with water.

Also coming with them was Mrs. Lin. The little old woman was holding a jumping baby in her hands. The baby had a small straw hat on its head and a pink and tender face, which was whiter and more delicate than anything seen in the countryside.

After resting for a while, the villagers got up and started walking home. They greeted the familiar people from the Lin family and passed by them while chatting and laughing.

"Jiang'er, I knew you would stay in the field and not want to leave." Mrs. Lin walked to her own dry land and looked at the lush green fields. Her brows relaxed. "It's been half a month since I planted them. They are all alive. You have taken good care of them."

Lin Jiang stood up, took out his straw hat and fanned his mother with air to cool her down, and said with a smile, "Mom, I can't take care of such a large area of ​​two acres by myself. I have to rely on my elder and second brothers to help me carry water and fertilizer."

He could also carry water, but he had to use one hand to steady the bucket, and by the time he got from the river to the edge of the field, half of the water in the bucket would slosh around.

Not to mention using a wooden cart to load fertilizer, which would be even more difficult for him to do with half the effort and twice the results.

Without the unconditional support and help from his family, he would have to work harder and more to turn this place into a lush medicinal field.

Lin Dashan and Lin Erhe put the buckets down on the edge of the field. After the sun went down, they let the warmed water dry out and then scooped it up to water the fields.

The two brothers had other work to do, so they took advantage of their spare time to carry buckets of water up. When they didn't have enough buckets, they borrowed from other families in the village.

By the evening, the water you carry is basically enough to water the fields once.

"At this time, everyone who worked in the fields has gone home to eat, but you're still standing in the field and are reluctant to leave. The medicinal herbs can't grow faster. Why don't you go back and take a rest earlier? You're really a stubborn ox." Lin Erhe cursed, walked to his third brother, put his hands on his hips, and looked at the medicinal field with a smile on his face.

It’s no wonder that the medicinal plants in their family’s medicinal fields are growing very well. All the transplanted Hundred-Angsten Grasses grow well.

"I was originally worried that the medicinal seedlings at home would not be enough to cover two acres of land, but I didn't expect the new sprouts to sprout so quickly, allowing my family to continue the crop." Lin Dashan's face was also full of joy.

The whole family was nervous at first as they watched the medicinal seedlings being planted, until the medicinal fields grew more and more prosperous day by day, and they finally put their minds at ease.

The little girl stood in front of the adults. Taking advantage of the fact that the adults couldn't see her green ball, she was very bold and swung the ball out with her little hands as hard as if she was swinging a radio.

As soon as the green balls appeared, they were quickly absorbed by the herbs in the ground. Each plant seemed to have a suction cup. Not only did they suck up the green balls, but they also waved the tips of their leaves towards the baby and shook them vigorously: Not enough, not enough.

Baixiang's little mouth opened widely and he giggled.

Greedy.

Ever since Lin Jiang planted the herb, he would go to the fields before dawn every day and return home only after dark. He took care of this medicinal field as if he were taking care of his ancestors.

Therefore, he was the first to notice the changes in the medicinal herbs in the field.

"Strange, there's no wind right now, why is it swaying?" He was puzzled and turned his head to find someone to help him. "Mom, brother, do you think the leaves of the medicinal seedlings have become greener?"

The green is so rich and crisp that you can feel the vibrant vitality hidden in the leaves just from the small leaves.

Lin Erhe disagreed, "How can the medicinal seedlings be green when they have grown up? Can spring, summer and autumn last for half a month? If they are still green, they will start to turn yellow."

When autumn comes, won’t the leaves of medicinal herbs and weeds turn yellow?

Mrs. Lin twitched her lips and glanced at her second son. "What are you talking about? Pah! The sedge grass grows fast. We can pick some of it in the field and make tea with it!"

After a pause, she subconsciously looked at her granddaughter. Even though there was no one else around, she still lowered her voice and asked, "My dear, when will this Hundred-phase Grass be considered ripe?"

"???" This question touched Bai Xiang's blind spot, and she didn't know what it meant to be familiar.

I haven’t mentioned the white coat before, but it can be used if it looks like this.

So Bai Xiang puffed out his chest, imitated grandma and lowered his voice, and even put his hands to his mouth, whispering with certainty, "Grandma, it's ripe! We can pick it now and exchange it for money! If we plant it and it produces small beads on the leaves, we can exchange it for more money!"

That's right.

The green pills made from the leaves of the lily of the valley in the glass house can be exchanged for twenty crystal cores, and the medicine liquid squeezed from the green beads can be exchanged for one hundred crystal cores.

One hundred is greater than twenty, no, more.

Her uncle taught her to count, and in three days she could count from one to one hundred. She knows how to do it!

The old women and men all pricked up their ears to listen to the child's teaching. If they didn't understand, they would immediately continue to ask, "How long does it take for that kind of beads to form?"

Bai Xiang blinked, "..."

Bai Xiang felt guilty, "Uncle, you'll know when you plant it?"

She really doesn’t know this…
