Travel through the farm and live a leisurely life by farming

Otherwise, why do people say Su He is the lucky star of the Su family.

Ever since Su He recovered, they have been eating better and are now starting to earn money. It seems that it will not be long before the family's foreign debts are paid off.

"Okay... okay, picking mushrooms will be our family's top priority from now on. Go to bed early tonight, and tomorrow morning, we will all go into the mountains to pick mushrooms."

Old Man Su was also very moved and excited, which made everyone in the Su family feel more at ease.

The next morning, Su He's biological clock woke her up early on time.

I saw a faint light coming through the window, and heard the occasional crowing of roosters and low voices coming from outside the yard.

Su He did not delay any longer and got up and walked out of the room. She then found that the whole family had already gotten up. Mrs. Xie and Mrs. Luo were busy in the kitchen. Grandma Su was nowhere to be seen. She must have gone out to cut grass for the chickens.

Old Man Su took Su Dawu and Su Danian to the yard to check the backpacks that would be used when going up the mountain later. Su Mu and others watched quietly at the side and occasionally helped.

After a while, breakfast was ready.

A bowl of bone soup left over from last night, a bowl of braised pork offal, corn porridge, and a plate of sauerkraut.

Everyone was eager to get up the mountain early so they could pick more mushrooms, so after breakfast, the family set off.

Old Mrs. Su is old and has difficulty walking, so she can only stay at home to look after the house. She stands outside the courtyard gate and watches the figures of the Su family members getting farther and farther away, until they become a small black dot and can no longer be seen.

Then he turned around, closed the gate, poured out the chicken grass he had cut in the morning, and began to stack the grass to feed the chickens later. He would also take care of the rabbits that Su Chi had repeatedly asked him to feed.

Now the rabbits have grown a lot and need more and more tender grass to eat. After feeding the chickens later, I will go to the fields to cut some tender grass.

After these days of experience in picking mushrooms, everyone in the Su family has become very skilled.

Once they entered the mountain, everyone automatically dispersed and formed a carpet-style search. Each person held a stick and pushed aside the dead branches and leaves in front of them while observing the bushes and grass not far away.

Moreover, he could recognize all the mushrooms he had picked before, and would only call Su He to come over and take a look if he came across a variety he had never seen before.

After noon, his backpack was almost full. Su Bai also picked up a nest of pheasant eggs. Su Chi was very jealous and followed Su Bai eagerly, staring at the pheasant eggs.

Su Bai rubbed his little head lovingly and put all the pheasant eggs he had just picked up into his small backpack. Only then did Su Chi grin.

He immediately ran to Su He and showed off to her.

Seeing that today's mushrooms had been picked almost enough, Old Man Su called out to everyone to hurry down the mountain.

I have to hurry back home and cook the mushrooms into sauce, only then will I feel at ease.

After returning to the Su family, everyone started to divide the work after lunch and worked non-stop to make the mushroom sauce.

After finishing their work, seeing that it was still early, Old Man Su took his three sons to the fields. It was time to weed and fertilize the corn that they had planted a few days ago.

They had to pick mushrooms in the morning, so they only had time in the afternoon. After they were done with their work, they didn't want to rest and went out to the fields.

Su He packed and sealed the last jar of mushroom sauce, then went out with the basket.

I just listened to Mrs. Xie and Mrs. Luo chatting, and I realized that the sweet potato seedlings in the field have grown out, and it’s almost time to start planting sweet potatoes.

Every household in Yunli Village picks and plants sweet potatoes. Sweet potatoes have a strong sense of fillingness and can be used to fill the stomach after the food at home is finished.

So when Su He first came, the Su family had no food, and the most common food was sweet potatoes. Now they occasionally mix some sweet potatoes into steamed rice, and the large portion can feed the family members.

Su He planned to go over and take a look, and pick some sweet potato leaves to eat in the evening.

Su He looked around as he walked. The surrounding fields were already green and the corn had grown quite taller.

The breeze blows gently, and the waves are green, which is very pleasing to the eye.

Before they knew it, they had arrived at their own field. Just as Su Zhiyan was looking up to take a breath, he saw Su He walking towards them with a basket of vegetables.

"Ah He, why did you come out? The vegetable garden is not here."

Seeing the basket in Su He's hand, I thought she was out picking vegetables, so why did she come over here?

"Aniang and the others said there are sweet potato seedlings here. I want to pick some to eat in the evening."

Su He's words stunned the old man Su and others standing by. Aren't the vegetables in the vegetable garden edible? Why are they picking these sweet potato seedlings?

However, since Su He wanted to pick them, they should be edible. Everyone in the Su family has witnessed Su He's cooking skills and they have absolutely no objection.

"It's over there."

Su Zhiyan pointed to one end of his own corn field not far away. There was a small patch of corn there, and he could start planting once the wasteland was cultivated.

Su He nodded and walked around. It had rained a while ago, and the sweet potato seedlings were now very fresh and tender. Su He quickly picked a handful, and when he saw that it was almost enough for one meal, he stopped picking.

"Grandpa, now that we have grass in this cornfield, is it time to plant sweet potatoes?"

This morning the whole family is going up the mountain to pick mushrooms, and they only have time to go to the fields at this time every day. Su He thought that after going down the mountain tomorrow, two people would stay to make mushroom sauce, and the others would plant sweet potatoes together, which should be done in a day or two.

what?

Planting sweet potatoes in a corn field?

Old Man Su has been farming all his life and has never heard of such a method, so he couldn't help but widen his eyes.

Su He was a little confused and looked at Su Zhiyan beside him.

"We can't plant these sweet potatoes until the wasteland over there is ready."

Su He said he wanted to plant peppers on the wasteland that had been reclaimed before, so Old Man Su said he wanted to reclaim another piece of wasteland, so there was some delay.

However, he had never seen the method that Su He mentioned.

“Wasteland, isn’t it planted in this corn field?”

Seeing that several people around her were looking at her in confusion, Su He touched her nose embarrassedly. This method had been mentioned by others before, but she had never tried it herself. She thought that her grandfather and the others should know it.

But this is worth a try. There is no loss anyway. Not only will there be fewer weeds in the field, but the space can be used reasonably and the yield of sweet potatoes will also be increased. Isn't it killing two birds with one stone?

"Grandpa, I think this is worth a try. Planting sweet potatoes in a corn field will increase the nutritional absorption of the corn after it matures, making the corn bigger and producing a higher yield."

After a pause, he looked at the faces of the people in front of him and continued:

"And the sweet potatoes will only start to swell after the corn matures, and the remaining nutrients will be supplied to the sweet potatoes. In this way, the sweet potatoes will not only be bigger, but also have a higher yield."
