Eating melons

Chapter 332 Planting Sweet Potatoes

When Wei Wei looked up, she saw the low stool in the middle of the room where the two of them had used to soak their feet last night.

Suddenly a beam of light flashed through Wei Wei's mind. Because it was extremely quiet and no one disturbed her, Wei Wei caught the light.

"Jiang Qi, can we tie this stool to our buttocks? That way we can sit wherever we go. Will our waists be saved?"

Hearing this, Jiang Qi suddenly realized, "This is possible. Tie this stool to your waist. When you get tired of sitting, just pull it up and squat. When you get tired of squatting, just pull it down and sit. This way, the stool won't get lost or fall down."

Wei Wei also felt the same way and couldn't help but feel that she was really a genius.

On the other side, Wu Mei and Liu Jiaojiao were about to go back to wash up and make breakfast when Yu Xi came out of Li Zhibin's house.

"Jiaojiao, Wu Mei, Li Zhibin, and Xiao Xuemu asked us to have breakfast together. We can just eat here this morning."

Hearing this, Wu Mei hesitated, "Isn't this a bit bad?"

The dinner at Jiang Qi's place was fine. Although they took advantage, they could still make a forced explanation by saying that they also contributed something.

But eating at Xiao Xuemu and Li Zhibin's place is completely a treat.

After all, they are different from Wei Wei and Jiang Qi. They are both partners and eat together. It is okay for Wei Wei and Jiang Qi to go eat there, but they are different.

They had never treated anyone to a meal, but Li Zhibin and Xiao Xuemu had treated them to meals several times.

Yu Xi knew Wu Mei's concerns and explained, "I brought some food here. I also brought some food for the two of you."

Wu Mei heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this. As long as they provided her with food, it would be fine. If they didn't, she would feel really embarrassed to go to their place for free food and drink.

Therefore, Wu Mei nodded and said, "Okay, let's go back and wash up first."

After hearing that they agreed, Yu Xi didn't say anything and went in to help.

Although Wei Wei and Jiang Qi, who were lingering in the house, heard the conversation outside, they didn't care.

It's just that there are more people eating. They don't have to cook anyway. They just want to eat what's ready. As long as there is food, they don't comment on anything else.

Since starting work, Wei Wei and Jiang Qi have been having breakfast at Li Zhibin's place, so whether Wu Mei and the others go there to eat or not, they both have breakfast.

To be honest, given the current situation, finding a partner really has more advantages than disadvantages for Wei Wei and Jiang Qi.

There are almost no disadvantages and quite a few advantages. It seems that these two objects are worth finding.

I can only say that it’s a good thing that Xiao Xuemu and Li Zhibin don’t know what Wei Wei and Jiang Qi are thinking.

If they knew that the two people they cherished the most thought this way, they would probably faint in the toilet from crying.

After slowly finishing washing up, Wei Wei and Jiang Qi walked towards Li Zhibin's house. At this time, everyone was already there, except for the two of them.

It's not that Wei Wei and Jiang Qi are deliberately slow, there is really no way, this is a physiological phenomenon that they cannot control.

Every time they wake up in the morning, their power is half-on, which means they are completely out of power. This is something they cannot control at all, and they have to wait until they get to the fields to recover.

We had noodles for breakfast this morning. Xiao Xuemu and Li Zhibin knew that Wei Wei and Jiang Qi liked to eat soupy things like noodle soup and dumplings in the morning, so they usually made this.

To be honest, Xiao Xuemu and Li Zhibin could still accept the noodle soup and rice noodle soup that Wei Wei and Jiang Qi ate.

However, Xiao Xuemu and Li Zhibin found it difficult to accept the soup dumplings made by Wei Wei and Jiang Qi.

They all eat dumplings with dip, but Wei Wei and Jiang Qi like to eat them in a bowl of soup, and they have very high requirements for the soup.

Whenever they knew they were going to make dumplings the next morning, the two would make their own soup the night before and use it as the soup base.

Xiao Xuemu and Li Zhibin found it a little hard to accept, and they frowned every time they saw Wei Wei and Jiang Qi eating like this, so they simply turned a blind eye and ate noodles and rice noodles in the morning instead of making dumplings.

Anyway, Wei Wei and Jiang Qi are relatively easy to feed. As long as they are not allowed to cook, they will usually eat whatever is cooked.

As long as Li Zhibin doesn't talk too much or do anything naughty and doesn't provoke Wei Wei, the two of them will usually eat whatever is good or ugly and won't be picky about anything.

After breakfast, Wei Wei and Jiang Qi went back to tie up the stool. Seeing Wei Wei and Jiang Qi like this, Liu Jiaojiao asked curiously:

"What are you two up to?"

Wei Wei shook the stool on her butt and said, "Bring a stool with you to work so you don't drop it or forget to throw it on the ground.

I can rest and sit down for a while, and it can also help my waist, which has been almost broken for a while now."

Hearing this, Liu Jiaojiao felt that it made perfect sense and immediately said, "Wait for me, I'll go back and tie one up too."

As for Wu Mei, she had no plans to tie herself up because she still had to work later and didn't have much time to rest.

She felt a little tired at the beginning, but she gradually got used to it. Compared with the autumn harvest, spring plowing is not that tiring.

More importantly, she felt that the one between Wei Wei and Jiang Qi was a little unreliable.

However, Wu Mei didn't say much, because she felt that it was not very reliable if she had to sit and work, but it was okay to put it aside for rest.

As expected, today was the day to plant sweet potatoes, and many aunts had already started cutting the sweet potato vines where the sweet potato seedlings were being grown.

The cut sweet potato vines were tied up in bundles there, piled up into small hills, and there were many small hills.

The four of them were grouped together again. When they arrived at the field, Wei Wei, Jiang Qi and Liu Jiaojiao discovered that they were too naive.

Working while sitting is more demanding on the waist than working while squatting. It turns out that we must be down-to-earth and not think about any crooked things.

But the stool is not useless. You can sit on it for a while when you are tired or when you need to rest. You don’t have to sit on the ground.

To be honest, Wei Wei and Jiang Qi originally thought that if they brought a stool with them, there might be some people gossiping about them behind their backs, saying that they brought a stool while working.

After all, isn’t that what happens in novels? There are gossiping aunties everywhere.

But the reality is that they are overthinking it and no one pays any attention to them.

The one who taught them how to plant sweet potato seedlings today was Liu Aiying. After Liu Aiying taught them how to plant it and saw that they did it well, she left them alone.

There were only four of them around here in the afternoon. They planted as many centimeters as they could. Even if they were slow, they would definitely be able to finish planting within four days.

But even if there are aunties, they probably won't pay attention to them. They are too busy with their work to have the time to care about these things.

This time, the four of them once again clearly felt the vastness of the Red Star Brigade's territory. No wonder everyone treasured those cows so much.

If all the people were to plow such a wide field, it would take forever. Even two shifts wouldn't be enough to finish it.

But using cows would be much faster. To be honest, when clearing the land, the scene of so many cows working at the same time is still very spectacular.

When the land was being divided, the scorer thought it would take the four new educated youth at least four days to finish planting the land, but they didn't expect them to finish it in just two days.

He went to check every day and the crops were growing well. Although not as good as those grown by the other team members, they were still okay.

At least it's not a shoddy project and doesn't require any rework.

To be honest, he was quite surprised. It seemed that these four new educated youth were not like that either. They were not as spoiled as those people in the brigade said.

It is much better than when those old educated youth first arrived.

The reason why these four people were able to plant so quickly was mainly because Wu Mei had already gotten the hang of it, so her speed increased.

In addition, this person only cares about work points and work points. Once he starts working, he will not stop unless he really can't stand it anymore.

Wei Wei and Jiang Qi also gradually got the hang of it, and after working for a period of time, they gradually adapted to this level of work.

In addition, at such a critical moment, they didn't want to be a drag, so they worked very hard.

Seeing that they were all working so hard, Liu Jiaojiao didn't want to fall behind, and there was no time to take advantage of the situation, so she increased her speed.

In addition, Xiao Xuemu and Li Zhibin come to help for two to three hours every day, once at noon and once in the afternoon, and Yu Xi also comes to help occasionally.

The speed of Xiao Xuemu and Li Zhibin is not comparable to that of Wei Wei and Jiang Qi, especially Xiao Xuemu.

In recent years, because he has the space, Xiao Xuemu has become a real good hand at farming, not to mention other things. He is very skilled, so his speed has naturally increased.

During the past few months of spring plowing, Wei Wei and Jiang Qi were exhausted, but the corresponding work points were also considerable.

As long as there are no problems at the farm, the income at the end of the year will still be quite considerable, and the amount of food distributed will also be very considerable.

Wei Wei and Jiang Qi were quite happy, and suddenly realized that this kind of place was just like military training.

Those old educated youth, or should I say other educated youth, have no idea about the future development. Living such a hard and tiring life day after day, they only feel that their future is bleak.

But Wei Wei and Jiang Qi are different. They both know that they will leave here in a few years and they will not continue to live this kind of life all year round.

In addition, the two of them have sufficient capital and enough money, so working in the fields is a pleasure and an interest in the eyes of Wei Wei and Jiang Qi.

Therefore, in their eyes, it is not much different from military training. It is very tiring at the beginning, but it is also fun if you persist.

The two people over there treated farming as military training, which gave Zhang Xinwang and Zhou Youfu a headache.

The breeding farm over there is relatively easy. We left enough breeding eggs last year and they hatched.

In addition, due to the loss of sows last year, I asked the farm to keep more breeding eggs and to raise more chickens, ducks and geese this year.

But no matter how many chickens, ducks and geese you feed, they are not as valuable as a sow, not to mention that there are more than ten piglets there.

If you go to the county to buy them, the number of piglets you can buy is fixed. You can only buy so many, just twenty. How much can you get from feeding that many?

From this perspective, the losses this year are still considerable, but there is nothing we can do. The quantity is fixed, and even if they have money, they cannot buy so many piglets.

We can only place our hopes on the remaining two sows, hoping they can help and give birth to more litters of piglets.

But no matter how much she gives birth, that’s all. I can only raise another sow this year.

Zhang Xinwang was so worried that several of his hair turned white.

Xiao Xuemu discovered Zhang Xinwang's worries within a few days, so he went to his house directly.

Zhang Xinwang was really surprised when he saw the educated youth in front of him saying that he could help get piglets.

But considering his family background, it's not surprising. After all, Xiao Xuemu has been greeted by the city leaders, which shows that his connections here are not weak.

Zhang Xinwang tapped his pipe and asked, "Xiao Zhiqing, are you sure you can really buy piglets? How many can you buy?"

Xiao Xuemu nodded and said directly, "How much do you want?"

Xiao Xuemu also made it clear that he could get as much as Zhang Xinwang wanted.

It’s not that Xiao Xuemu is bragging, but there are too many piglets in his space.

Just in the past period of time, there were more than ten sows that gave birth. Even if each litter had ten piglets, there would be more than a hundred piglets in total. And that was only the ones that gave birth in the past period of time. There are still many that have not been born yet.

There are also many that have been laid for a long time and can no longer be sold as piglets. I can only say that it is fortunate that his space is large enough, otherwise the small hill would not be able to accommodate them.

And those were domestic pigs, there were also a lot of wild boars, and he really couldn't feed them all now.

If it was winter hibernation, it would be fine, he could barely do it, but now it is spring, it is a busy time, and he has to go to work, so he really doesn't have time to take care of so many poultry in the space.

Not to mention that there are more and more families. Every week, half a month comes into the space, and I don’t know how many more there will be.

So some of them have to be disposed of, but it’s easy to sell them as pork, but it’s really difficult to sell piglets.

If we don't deal with them and let them fend for themselves in the space, the pigs will not be able to eat enough and won't be able to grow much meat.

Just like a wild boar, it eats so much food but only grows a little bit of meat. It is a complete loss-making business. It would be better to sell those vegetables to Wei Wei.

After all, he had already agreed with Wei Wei to sell vegetables once every two weeks.

Of course, we don’t just sell vegetables; we can also sell eggs, duck eggs, goose eggs, and meat.

So when he heard that Zhang Xinwang and Liu Youfu were worried about the piglets, he came.

He came to recommend himself and wanted to sell a batch of piglets in the space.

Not only the piglets, he wanted to deal with the pigs as well, but he just didn't have the time.

When he heard Wei Wei say she wanted meat, he was quite happy because he could finally clear out a batch of stock in the space.

There are so many chickens, ducks and geese that it is impossible to pick up all the eggs. But as long as you don't pick them up, after a while, a new nest will hatch in a place where no one has noticed.

There are also rabbits. Rabbits are the most numerous. Rabbits have such a strong reproduction speed and reproduction capacity that they cannot be sold out at all.
