My Siheyuan Shelter

Chapter 56 Planting Strawberries

Xu Dong couldn't help but pursed his lips. Anyway, he's been like this all his life. At most, he's in the power company, and there can't be more.

"Mom, didn't Dongzi become the captain? I can't rush this matter. This is the case in state-owned enterprises. We need to go up step by step." Yang Lina persuaded Xu Ma.

"What can the team leader manage, unless he can be promoted to a section chief, the section chief can be considered a cadre."

Xu Ma is not a fool. She has already inquired about the internal affairs of the power company, and knows the gold content of the position of section chief.

"People have to be content and happy!" Someone exclaimed bitterly.

As a result, I got two pairs of big white eyes, and the white ones were very scary.

……

Three days later, Wang Xiujuan came to the courtyard with a large bag of strawberry seedlings. Mark saw that the other party didn't react at all because they were all ripe.

"Pharaoh, I'll trouble you about the glass." Xu Ma said gratefully.

Wang Xiujuan put down the bag in her hand and said politely, "Thank you, thank you, Nana sends me freshly picked vegetables every few days. Even if I want to thank you, it should be me thanking your family."

"Okay, alright, with the relationship between our two families, saying 'thank you' is really too outrageous, and no one is allowed to mention it in the future." Xu Ma said seriously.

"That's right. If there are contacts and contacts, life will last a long time." Wang Xiujuan has always seen through the relationship between people.

Yang Lina came out with Xiaobao, and when she saw Wang Xiujuan, she stepped forward to say hello:
"Morning, Aunt Wang!"

Xu's mother briefly explained Wang Xiujuan's intention, and Yang Lina asked curiously, "Didn't you say it will take another week, why is it so soon?"

Wang Xiujuan pinched Xiaobao's tender face and explained with a smile:
"It's almost there, my seedling conditions are not good, it's better to plant it early!"

"Then let me help you plant it together." Yang Lina said eagerly.

"Okay, your flower house is too advanced, I really can't understand it."

"I teach you, it's actually very simple."

Yang Lina handed Xiaobao to Xu's mother, and then plunged into the vegetable garden with Wang Xiujuan. Both of them are gardening enthusiasts, and they can be said to be like-minded.

"Nana, strawberry is happy, why don't you choose the middle land?" Wang Xiujuan suggested.

Looking at the land in front of her, which is less than ten square meters, Yang Lina was a little stunned: "Is this land a little small, is it enough?"

"Enough, I've raised about 100 seedlings this time, and this field is just right."

"That's up to you." Yang Lina agreed.

Next, the two began to transplant strawberry seedlings, not too close together, just 10 centimeters between each plant.

In less than half an hour, all the strawberry seedlings were transplanted, and Yang Lina suddenly patted her head:
"I almost forgot to ask, Aunt Wang, what kind of strawberry is this?"

"Xingdu No. 3, I asked for it from an old acquaintance. The fruit is big, sweet, high-yield, and fragrant. It is especially suitable for the elderly and children." Wang Xiujuan is familiar.

"Can you make strawberry jam?"

When Yang Lina was pregnant with triplets, she learned how to make strawberry jam from a short video, and there was no shortage of rock candy and honey at home, so she came up with this idea at once.

"Yes, why not!" Wang Xiujuan said with a smile: "When it's done, remember to give me a bottle, the bread is the most appetizing."

"What's the most appetizing?"

Xu Ma just came in with two bowls of mung bean soup and asked curiously.

"Mom, we're talking about strawberry jam!" Yang Lina explained.

"The strawberries haven't even been seen yet. You both want to make the sauce! After a while, I made mung bean soup, you can drink it while it's cold."

Yang Lina took the bowl: "Thank you Mom!"

Mother Xu handed another bowl to Wang Xiujuan, and when the two finished drinking the mung bean soup, she took the bowl and left.

Next, it was time to water the strawberry seedlings. Yang Lina pointed to the computer and introduced:
"Auntie Wang, look, the computer has captured the strawberry seedlings through the camera. We just need to click the 'Auto' button, and we don't have to worry about the next thing."

"Then hurry up!" Wang Xiujuan urged.

Yang Lina tapped the computer screen with her finger, and a beeping sound of "DiDi" sounded in the flower room.

"Water is out!" Wang Xiujuan said, pointing to the dripper on the ground.

Yang Lina nodded and said, "This drip irrigation really saves water."

"Nana, are there any other functions?"

"Yes, the temperature will be automatically controlled at night. If the soil lacks nutrients, the irrigation system will automatically add nutrient solution, and the light intensity can also be adjusted by itself."

"Where did you buy your nutrient solution, online?" Wang Xiujuan asked.

"No, I bought it from the company that repaired the flower house. The price is not expensive. You can buy dozens of barrels for 2000 yuan, which is enough for a year or two." Yang Lina replied, smoothing her hair.

Wang Xiujuan was a little surprised: "One of them who built a flower house still sells this stuff?"

"Sell, I also heard from their employees that their company has built a nutrient solution production plant covering hundreds of acres in the suburbs of Yanbei, and the business is said to be very popular."

"It's a strange thing that happens every year!" Wang Xiujuan frowned unconsciously.

After planting strawberries, it was almost time for dinner. Wang Xiujuan was alone, so she was forced to stay by Mother Xu.

Dinner is five dishes and one soup, with meat and vegetables. Although it is not particularly rich, it is much stronger than that of ordinary families.

Mother Xu poured a cup of soy milk for Wang Xiujuan and asked casually:

"Pharaoh, where has Zheng Yan been recently? Why haven't I seen her for a long time?"

"Back home, Zhang Kai is ill, she is worried and insists on staying to take care of herself." Wang Xiujuan sighed.

"Why are you sick, is it serious?"

Wang Xiujuan shook her head: "I went back to see it. It's not a big problem. It's mainly because I'm tired. It should be fine after a few days of rest."

"Is the district chief so busy with work?" Xu Dong asked curiously.

"This year has a lot of things to do, so I must be busier than in previous years." Wang Xiujuan remembered her son's admonition and did not want to talk more.

"It's fine! Old Wang, come and try this braised fish, I managed to grab it." Xu Ma greeted.

Wang Xiujuan took a piece of fish, "Well, it's really good, the heat is just right."

"If you like...you can eat more." Xu Ma said enthusiastically.

"Okay, I'll do it myself."

Everyone chatted while eating, and the topic somehow came to the super big problem of "how to eat meat".

"Xiao Xu, do you have meat dishes in the cafeteria of your power company?" Wang Xiujuan asked.

"Pork is long gone, and now even fish is eaten every three or five minutes." Xu Dong said with a bitter face.

"Pharaoh, where is your family, do you still buy internal meat?" Xu Ma asked.

Wang Xiujuan shook her head: "Last month, my confession was also cut off."

"Could it be that all the pigs in Daxia are dead?" Xu Ma sighed.

Wang Xiujuan thought for a while and said, "It's not impossible to buy any meat on the market now, the key is to find the right place."

"Where?"

Yang Lina is very interested. Eating bacon every day at home is not good for the body, especially children. It is when they grow up that they need to eat more fresh meat.

"Panjiayuan."
