The little girl from a farm family has a big wish to make a fortune by farming and picking mushrooms
Chapter 173 Burning Straw
The difficulty has been increased this time, and the scope has been expanded to addition and subtraction within five.
After all the teachings were completed, everyone dispersed.
Zhou Mingshu brought back a bowl of tea made with strawberry jam and placed it on the bedside. After washing up, he returned to the room and drank tea while reading a book. This moment was the only leisurely moment in the whole day.
The orchids in the room are still in full bloom. Orchids belong to the orchid family and have a relatively long flowering period. They silently exude their fragrance on the desk.
Whenever his eyes feel tired, Zhou Mingshu chooses to communicate with them for a while.
Help her absorb some CO2…
At daybreak, Zhou Mingshu was awakened by her father while she was still asleep.
He followed him to the fields without even washing his face.
But everyone was the same, planning to finish the work in the fields before going home to clean up.
Aunt Feng also got up and followed. She didn't want to be bored at home, so she went out for a walk.
There were no people in the field at this time.
Those who carried hoes carried hoes, those who carried brooms carried brooms, and those who didn't have these tools just broke off two long grasses from the grass.
Zhou Mingshu chose to fold grass, which has many leaves and is light to hold.
If the flames really burst out, she would have the strength to put them out.
After everyone had taken their positions, Zhou Lao Da and Zhou Lao Er started to light a fire in the field.
The straw in the morning was soaked with dew and burned slowly. The flames were not big enough and went out several times, but it was enough to destroy the straw.
After burning two acres of land, the fire spread faster.
One reason is that the scorching temperature will evaporate the moisture on the surface of the straw, and the other reason is that the sun is about to come out.
In short, the situation seems to be getting out of control as time goes on.
Everyone was a little nervous, and Zhou Mingshu's palms were slightly sweaty as he held the grass.
Just burn it within the range, but be sure not to burn it on your neighbor's land.
They didn't even say hello to anyone.
But the result was quite good, the flames that overflowed the isolation belt were quickly put out by them.
The task of burning straw was successfully completed.
The surface of the burned land was pitch black. A breeze blew by, picking up two pieces of straw ash and floating away.
"Grandma, this ash is fertilizer. If it is blown away by the wind or washed away by the rain, will you feel bad?"
Zhou Mingshu asked with a smile.
It would be better if there was no wind or rain, but if everything was blown away, then it would be a waste of time.
"It would be a shame if it was blown away by the wind. We should spread the manure on the ground as soon as possible to press some of it down."
This is what Mrs. Zhou said.
Boss Zhou shoveled some soil from the ground and dug it a few times, but it felt like it was useless. After all, five acres of land was too big.
He threw a few more times, but the result was minimal.
Fortunately, the land outside the isolation zone is still our own.
The straw ash that flew out was blocked by the wheat stubble, so it wasn't too bad.
After the burning was completed and they made sure that there were no sparks left, the Zhou family went back home.
After a busy morning, they had to clean up and prepare for breakfast.
Before morning, the village chief Wang Fugui came running over in a hurry, leading a ox cart.
"Mrs. Zhou, something bad has happened. Your land has been burned. Go and have a look. Have you offended anyone?"
The Zhou family didn’t have a dog, so Wang Fugui rushed in crying.
Zhou Mingshu had just picked up a handful of snails and was frightened when she saw the village chief's expression.
I thought there were sparks left in the ground and burned someone else's land.
After hearing what he said clearly, she felt relieved.
So that's what is happening.
"What's the matter? You're so anxious. You're so old, why don't you be more steady?"
Old Mrs. Zhou was older than Wang Fugui and they usually got along quite well. She felt a little nervous when she saw him and only said a few words.
Wang Fugui was pulling cow dung to the field today. When he passed by their field, he found that it was pitch black inside and was particularly conspicuous from a distance.
People in the village were all talking about it, saying that the Zhou family had offended someone and their land was burned down.
"Don't worry, we burned the straw stubble in the field this morning. Because we went there early, no one saw it."
Old Mrs. Zhou spoke in a calm tone.
After saying this, Wang Fugui did not feel at ease, but became even more curious.
"Ah? Why are you burning it?"
Old Mrs. Zhou told him the many benefits of burning straw, which left Wang Fugui stunned.
"I didn't expect it to be like this. Is it too late for me to go back and burn it now?"
"How come it's too late? But you still have to be careful not to burn other people's land."
"Okay, sister-in-law, I'm going home now and discussing it with my family."
Wang Fugui still agreed with what Old Lady Zhou said, otherwise he wouldn't be so busy going back to discuss it with his family.
His family has many people and even more land, and he is considered the richest family in Lianglin Village.
It takes a lot of effort to go to the fields to harvest and grow crops every year.
Burning the straw now can not only increase fertilizer but also remove insects, killing two birds with one stone, which is great.
And when sowing seeds, they don’t prick the ankles.
Old Mrs. Zhou looked at Wang Fugui's departing back with a smile on her face.
The fact that this idea was approved by the village chief shows that this move was not wrong.
The same pace as the village chief.
Many villagers in Lianglin Village have begun to spread manure on the fields.
Only half a day had passed when the village chief's field caught fire.
The flames were so high and the black smoke was rising into the sky, it was really scary.
There are his brothers from the same clan on both sides of Wang Fugui's land. If he doesn't want to dig a barrier, then he can drag them in together.
After a lunch of lobbying, we successfully got them to join.
No one wanted to dig a cordon, nor did they want to go through the effort of putting out the fire, so they went from house to house lobbying, and surprisingly, there were very few voices of opposition.
After all, it was the village chief who took the lead in burning, so they followed suit.
Only a few families were unwilling to burn the fire, so everyone contributed and helped dig a barrier.
After all, this idea is being implemented for the first time, and it is still unknown whether it will be effective. It is understandable that some people are cautious and wait-and-see.
Old Mrs. Zhou went out for a walk and came home saying that the fire was too early.
If it were burned now, I wouldn't have to spend so much effort digging the isolation belt. I sat aside and slapped my thigh in regret.
"Haha, grandma, we still have five acres of land that was burned, so it's not a big loss. We can think of those isolation belts as seed pits dug in advance, so it's not a waste of effort by uncle and his men."
Zhou Mingshu thought for a moment and continued, "Besides, if our family hadn't started it, the village chief and his men wouldn't have been so happy to burn it."
"Well, what you said makes sense. The village chief took the lead and burned all the remaining ones. It can be regarded as a thought. The only thing left is to wait for God to rain, and we will be busy planting."
Old Mrs. Zhou’s regret had passed and she went to the vegetable garden with a smile on her face.
It's a rare day of free time today, so my aunt and my mother dug up a lot of wild onions at the foot of the mountain and said they would use them to make onion oil.
At this time, the wild onions have thick leaves and large roots, and it is really good to make some onion oil from them.
