Chapter 95
Xiaomi followed his brother and sister, and went for a walk in every household in the village, harvesting a bulging bag of melon seeds, peanuts and sugar, and then led a large group of children in the village to his home to pay New Year's greetings.

When they came out of the house, they happened to meet other children and were going to go to their house first, but they were yelled at by the big baby and went to other people's house first, causing Jiang Hu Erniang to sit in the house for a long time, thinking that There will be no children coming.

Unexpectedly, in the end, a large group came directly, but everyone in the village under the age of ten, whether boys or girls, came, almost lined up to greet Jiang Hu Erniang for the New Year, and then happily harvested a lot of food.

The Jiang family lives far away. Although the children in the village know it, they haven't come here very often. Now that they have finally come, they naturally want to play.

The boy and the big baby have a bunch of bangs, and the girl is with Erni Xiaomi. This little guy, Tie Dan, is lively and boring.

It was rare for the family to be so lively. Erniang happily boiled a pot of water, put a few chrysanthemums, and a little sugar, which immediately attracted the little girl who loves beauty.

Erniang poured two bowls of chrysanthemum tea for them. There are not many bowls at home, but they are all children, so it's fine to use them together.

There are very few girls in the village. There are only five girls who come to the house at the moment. They are all five or six years old. One of them even has patches on his clothes.

As for the bigger ones, or the smaller ones, neither Erniang nor Jiang Hu would like to think too much.

A girl with pigtails held a bowl and took a sip of chrysanthemum tea, her eyes lit up: "Drink well, it's fragrant, the smell of flowers, it's still sweet."

"Really? Give me a taste too."

Several little girls huddled together and took turns drinking chrysanthemum water with two bowls. Seeing that they liked it, Er Niang simply found a few small packets of gauze and gave them one packet per person.

This chrysanthemum tea doesn't cost money, and there are a lot of them on the mountain behind. She had done a lot of it before, but only later did she realize that the consumption of this chrysanthemum tea was very low.

Several little girls politely said thank you auntie, which made Erniang very happy.

It wasn't until noon, when it was about to have lunch, that the big guys left reluctantly. One of the little girls, before leaving, even took Erni and said enviously, "Your mother is so gentle."

Xiaomi next to him nodded again and again, isn't it, her mother is the best.

The lively yard finally quieted down, and Jiang Hu, who had been missing for a while, also came back from the back of the house with a hoe.

"Brother Hu, what are you doing for the Chinese New Year?"

Jiang Hu sighed: "There are too many children, chattering, and my ears hurt. Didn't you just say that you want to water those chrysanthemums this year? I just went weeding."

Erniang shook her head helplessly: "Obviously the children are quite cute."

But there are too many to really take care of.

"Let's rest first, I'm going to cook."

Jiang Hu quickly put down his hoe, washed his hands, and went into the kitchen together: "I'll make a fire."

Had meatballs for lunch today, and fish and pork ribs soup that I didn't finish last night.

Their family has no relatives here. Jiang Hu took the family and separated from his parents and brothers, and the second mother's family did not know where to go.

So in the next few days, they just need to rest at home.

But it is said to be a rest, in fact, there are many things, not to mention feeding pigs and cows, chickens and rabbits, the two of them couldn't be idle, and they cleaned up the wasteland behind the house.

Said to clean up, in fact, just clean up the weeds. There are many wild yellow chrysanthemums in that area.

Chrysanthemums do not die in winter, but the shoots on the ground wither, heat up the following year, and grow new ones again.

Jiang Hu Erniang recognized wild chrysanthemums, so she simply cleaned up the weeds, broke the dead branches, and simply turned the ground. Then she picked up two buckets of dung water and watered the wild chrysanthemums.

In the second year of junior high, Jiang Hu went to town with a few pounds of chrysanthemum and two handfuls of pea tips. This was the only thing the family could get.

But the main purpose is not to sell vegetables, but to pull water.

Tongfu Restaurant is not small, and it has also served two large families' New Year's Eve dinners, so there must be a lot of stagnant water.

Originally, Jiang Hu wanted to take his wife and children to the town to see if the town was lively, but Erniang refused.

It was like this until the fifth day of the first year, when the atmosphere of the New Year gradually faded, and there were more people working in the fields.

Spring is coming on the fourth day of this year, and the weather is getting warmer. At least for the past few days of the Chinese New Year, it has been sunny all the time, with wind and sun. Even at noon, work is a little hot.

"Brother Hu, look at this sorghum, not only did it not freeze to death, but it still looks so good."

Today, I originally came to dig the ground. When the wheat was sown, there was an empty space in the middle, and it was specially mixed with corn.

After another month or two, you can plant corn, sorghum, etc. After the wheat is harvested, you can continue to plant soybeans and mung beans.

The next few months were busy with farming, not to mention that their family had an extra acre of rapeseed, but they had to prepare everything.

I haven't been here for half a month, the sorghum has grown a lot taller, and there are already signs of sprouting.

Jiang Hu stretched out his hand and pinched the sorghum ears: "It's quite bulging, and the output is not expected to be low."

Erniang: "This sorghum is growing so fast. According to the current situation, it can be harvested in two or three months at most?"

In this way, the sorghum matured in less than five months. You must know that the sorghum they planted last year was harvested in more than seven months.

Jiang Hu nodded and thought for a while: "Second Niang, let's just stop planting sorghum this year, and order a variety of corn. When this is harvested, how about planting this?"

There are only about twenty plants, but if you are lucky, the seeds you harvest can be planted on half an acre of land.

Erniang has no opinion: "Listen to you, if it can be done, it will save two months."

If it doesn't work, it won't have much impact on the current family. After all, this year's wheat has grown very well, and it is green and even the straw is a little thicker than before.

Although the ears have not grown yet, Erniang believes that the harvest will not be bad.

Xiaomi listened to his parents' discussions throughout the whole process and expressed his satisfaction.

She is sweet sorghum, which is also a hybrid crop, just like hybrid rice.

The yield of this sorghum is higher, and the maturity time is shorter. Most importantly, according to what she has read in the book these days, the rhizomes of this sweet sorghum are rich in sugar, as sweet as sugar cane.

But this is not important, the important thing is that this sorghum stalk seems to be able to make syrup?

Wouldn't sugar become a rarity if it could be mass-produced?

But she is too young now to do anything or say too much. Fortunately, she is still young, so she will have time to ponder these things in the future.

As for how did she know this?
Hehe, she has a few small bookstores in her space, what would she say?
