I returned home and told Dabao about it. I called Dabao and Xiaobao over and told them that we had decided to farm at home for the next few days.

Xiaobao jumped up happily: "Mom, these fields belong to us, Mom, what should we plant?"

"Mom is happy now. You two can discuss what we should plant now? Radishes, cabbages, or something else?"

Xiaobao rolled over with laughter. "Mom, why are you so confused? I know that we can't plant radishes and cabbages now. They can only be grown in winter! Can you plant them now?"

"Mom can't grow it, so Xiaobao has to rely on this."

"But, Mom, Xiaobao can't grow it either! What should I do?" Xiaobao, hearing what I said, happily hugged my legs and shook. I rubbed Xiaobao's head and laughed.

Dabao's eyes were shining: "Mom, let's plant Gastrodia elata. I'll go to the mountains to see if there are any seeds left. I'll plant them tomorrow, so that we can have a fixed income."

"Okay, then Dabao, you go look for it in the mountains tomorrow, and bring me back some of the sweet potato vines that I asked you to pick that day. Bring me as much as you can." The young boy had a good idea, and I had the same plan, but I didn't know how many Gastrodia elata seeds I could find.

Dabao: "Mom, what are we going to do with that? Do we have to bring back the vine as well, or just pick the young shoots like we did last time?"

Bring back the vine and I'll teach you how to grow sweet potatoes. Once grown, they can be turned into many delicious foods. At this point, I've already thought of several ways to make sweet potato noodles. I'm so greedy!

The next day was a cloudy day, so we just burned all the weeds on the wasteland and cleaned up what needed to be cleaned up. Fortunately, there were not many stones on the land, so it was just relatively barren, so it was not difficult to clean up. The ash from the burnt grass could be used as fertilizer.

After cleaning up the land, I saw that there was only one hoe at home, so I went to the clan leader's grandfather's house to borrow another one. After turning the land for three days, I saw that the weather had changed and it might rain in a few days.

Send Dabao to cut the sweet potato vines first, and cut them in two sections according to the method of growing sweet potatoes at my grandmother's house. Get out the ash from the stove, and tie up the cut sweet potato vines one by one. Roll the cut end in the ash, so as to ensure that the moisture in the cut sweet potato vines will not be lost, and the survival rate will be greatly increased.

Dabao also took this opportunity to go to the mountains and bring back all the Gastrodia elata seeds he could find, and decided to plant a large field of Gastrodia elata.

After preparing the seeds to be planted, Dabao went to the back of the house after breakfast with a hoe. He dug small ditches with the hoe, and I quickly placed the sweet potato vines about six or seven inches apart and compacted them. Dabao then filled the soil in the back. He picked up small stones when he came across them.

It is very simple to plant this sweet potato vine. After a day's work, you can plant a large area of ​​it.

After several days of hard work, all the sweet potato vines and gastrodia elata seeds that we brought home have been planted.

I breathed a sigh of relief. Dabao had already cut almost all the sweet potato vines in the mountains and used them as seedlings. Gastrodia elata seeds were nowhere to be found. There was probably a small piece of land of about one mu that was empty. I sat at the door in a daze, thinking about what to plant. I saw Granny Wang walking over from the path in front of me with a small basket.

Seeing me from a distance, he said, "I have some seeds for spring planting here from Dalang's house. Do you want some?"

I was overjoyed. "Thank you so much, mother-in-law. I want some. There is still so much land left. I was just thinking about what to plant."

Granny Wang smiled and handed me a basket with a bunch of small bamboo tubes in it. She pointed at the bamboo tubes and told me: These are some bean seeds, these are peppers, these are cucumbers, and these are eggplants. "These are red fruits. I couldn't help but laugh when I saw them. They are tomato, pumpkin, and winter melon seeds. Now I don't have to think about buying seeds.

I am grateful to this kind grandmother from the bottom of my heart. When we first came out, she also sent us some food to help us get through the most difficult time. The old woman put down the seeds and said that she would return the bamboo tube to me after the seeds were planted. I walked with her for a while, but Granny Wang said she would not let me do it anymore.

"You should go back soon. Don't I know the way with so many things to do? I don't need you to send me off."

I stopped and watched Grandma Wang go home, feeling secretly grateful in my heart. I will definitely thank her when I have the chance in the future.

With these seeds, Dabao, Xiaobao and I worked hard for another day and finally planted almost all the trees except for some corners.

Looking at this piece of land, I feel a sense of accomplishment. As long as I manage it well, I can eat fresh vegetables anytime. Well, I have taken another step towards my imagined life. I feel so happy when I think about it.

The rain came just after I finished planting. The roof of the thatched house has not been rebuilt for a long time. When it rains heavily outside, it rains lightly inside. Fortunately, it doesn't fall on the bed, but how can we live like this? The house problem must be solved, otherwise it will be a big problem in winter. Fortunately, it will be sunny in two days, the day after tomorrow, and the melon seedlings in the field will begin to sprout. Looking from one side of the house, there are dots of tender green everywhere, full of vitality and vitality. I have been eating wild vegetables for so long. I will finally have my own vegetable garden.

I ran to the place where the Gastrodia elata was planted, turned the soil a little and saw a few tender yellow green shoots. Dabao and Xiaobao were so happy when they saw it. When they grow up, they will have money.

I told Dabao and Xiaobao: If you have nothing to do these few days, go to the mountains to chop more firewood. Cover this piece of Gastrodia elata land with firewood. In my previous life, a close friend of mine grew Gastrodia elata at home. They didn’t use fertilizers to grow Gastrodia elata, but only small firewood. The Gastrodia elata they grew in this way grew big and good.

As soon as Dabao heard this, he decided to go to the mountains to cut the wood I mentioned. I had also been delayed at home for so many days, and Brother He and others in the town had already sent a message asking me to go over there.

So I decided that Dabao would go to the mountains to cut the wood I wanted and lay the ground for the Gastrodia elata, while I would go to the town from the next day. I wanted to earn the money quickly and then renovate the house. The town was the only source of income now. Xiaobao would still stay at home to take care of the family.
