Chapter 5 ([-]) The World of Flowers
Even if the situation is grim, life has to be passed step by step.

After the beginning of spring, every household started to level the land one after another, collect fertilizers, and prepare for spring plowing.During this time, Wen Dao was busy working in the fields, and Wen Xiang was working on the vegetable patch in the yard at home.

There are no clocks and clocks in this world. Every day is estimated and estimated. What time is it now?Wen Xiang could only look up at the sky, oh, the sun is no longer on the center line, and started to walk west, so let's estimate one o'clock.

People in this world don't have the habit of eating lunch, which is not acceptable for Wen Xiang. She had stomach problems in her previous life, and it is a habit to eat three meals a day on time.

Fortunately, Wen Xiang grew up in the countryside, cooking fires, and doing chores around the house were not difficult for her.

This morning, she has already cooked a large pot of brown rice porridge, now reheat it, stir-fry a handful of vegetables, ah no, boil a handful of vegetables, there is no oil, and the vegetables cannot be fried. Finished lunch.

After Wen Xiang finished her lunch, she packed porridge and vegetables and sent them to Wen Dao.

The sun in early spring was very mild, and the golden sunlight shone warmly on his body, making him very comfortable. When Wen Xiang hopped and rushed to his field, he happened to see Wen Dao staggering, but fortunately he caught up with the plowshare in time.

"Brother, it's lunch time."

"Little sister, why are you here?" Wen Dao was slightly surprised: "You can eat by yourself, brother has already had breakfast."

Because Wen Xiang asked for lunch every day during the months of madness, Wen Dao has become numb to her new problem.
"Brother——, come up and take a rest." Seeing Wen Dao's sweaty face, Wen Xiang looked at him from left to right, and even jumped off the field to grab Wen Dao.

Wen Dao had no choice but to stop what he was doing, and the two moved to the shade of a tree at the head of the field, Wen Dao was resting while drinking porridge, after thinking for a while, he couldn't help but carefully said: "Little sister, our family doesn't eat at noon. "

"Brother——, it's just to warm up the leftovers from the morning. You can work when you have a full stomach. Eat quickly." Wen Xiang elongated her voice and coquettishly, and she didn't let Wen Dao say anything. Taking a long-winded opportunity, he turned and walked towards the field.

Before, Wen Xiang also went to her own field and wanted to help with the work, but Wen Dao insisted that she only help to pick up weeds, and refused to let Wen Xiang plow the land.

Actually, if she really wanted a plow, she wouldn't be able to move it too much. This Wen Xiang is only 12 years old.However, when she saw Wendao working alone, she was still a little touched in her heart. If she can't contribute, at least she can contribute some skills.

Looking at it now, the land plowed by the eldest brother is really so-so, after all, he did little farm work before.

Time is running out, so we can only start with the next step of fertilization and seedling cultivation.

Those who have fields in the village have built dung huts in the far downwind of their houses, which are used to accumulate manure for many years, and Wen's family also has one.

The fermentation effect of just piled up farmyard manure is poor. A few days ago, she said to her elder brother in a serious manner: "Our father said that we should add crushed straw, grass, etc. to the fertilizer, and cover it with a layer of grass to let it ferment naturally. It needs to be turned every few days to speed up the fermentation."

Since it was my father who said it, it must be true, and I heard that this former nerd of course did exactly what he said.

But farmyard manure alone is not enough, and plant ash is needed.

Thinking of this, Wen Xiang turned around and said to his eldest brother, "Brother, our family doesn't have enough fertilizer, so we have to burn some plant ash."

"What is plant ash?" Wen Dao looked confused.

"It is to burn the dead branches and leaves into ashes, and then scatter them in the fields."

"Is this another way of father?" Wen Dao said with a smile.

"Of course, yesterday I dreamed about my parents, my father taught me." Wen Xiang said with a smile.

Ever since Wen Xiang broke her head, Wen Dao has felt a strong sense of guilt towards her sister, and she is responsive to Wen Xiang's every request, and her adaptability to all kinds of strange words and deeds of her sister has been continuously improved, for fear that she will be forced to exorcise her by accident.

What's more, he really doesn't know much about farming. When his parents were around, he spent most of his time studying. On the contrary, his younger sister often stayed with his parents and knew a lot more than him.

Therefore, Wen Xiang completely frees himself for the sister-in-law brother, he can say whatever he wants, and he can live how he wants.

On the second day, Wen Dao insisted on following Wen Xiang into the mountains to pick up dead trees and broken branches. The two also brought their only important assets for activities, which were a mule and a wooden cart, referred to as the mule cart.

Wenjia Village is located in the north of Chengnan County, backed by Yunxi Mountain, which has many mountains and thousands of hectares.

All kinds of trees are densely clustered below the mountainside, and all kinds of wild fungi, mosses and ferns are everywhere. In the deep valleys, there are flowing springs, waterfalls, and clear pools. animal.

Above the mountainside is shrouded in clouds and mist all the year round, with towering ancient trees and gloomy shadows that block out the sun. Once you enter, you will easily lose your way, and there are occasional howls of unknown wild animals, while the top of the mountain is foggy all year round.

The villagers of Wenjia Village usually move below the mountainside and never dare to cross the boundary easily.

The brothers and sisters of the Wen family drove mule carts into the mountain early in the morning, along with a few children who had gone into the mountain to collect firewood.

Going into the mountains to collect firewood and hay is an essential job for children in the village. Many children go into the mountains every day, sometimes accompanied by adults, but most of the time, children go in groups by themselves to take care of each other.

"Brother Wen, are you going to the county seat today?" It was Aunt Xie's daughter Chun'er who spoke.

"No, we also went into the mountains to collect firewood." Wen Dao replied with a smile.

"I still need to drive the mule cart to pick up firewood? I can carry it back by myself." A small boy with two horns on his head curled his lips and squinted to smell the fragrance.

"Stone! What do you know? Brother Wen has a reason." Chun'er immediately scolded the little boy.

"Little sister hasn't been healthy for a long time, so I don't worry about her going into the mountain by herself." Wen Dao explained with a smile.

"We need to pick up a big truckload of firewood, why don't we tow the truck?" Wen Xiang couldn't help but roll his eyes inwardly, this little kid even discriminated against me, huh.

Chun'er originally wanted to help Wendao and the others collect firewood, but it would take a lot of time to pick up a car of dead branches. Chun'er's family has a lot of work, so it would not waste her time. Wendao politely declined her kindness. .

At the foot of the mountain, the brother and sister put down the children and continued to drive to the mountain for a while. When they passed the valley where they fell, Wen Xiang shed bitter tears for it.

Crossing the valley is a fork in the road, one side goes to Chengnan County, and the other side goes to the mountains.

The two walked all the way to pick up dead trees and broken branches, and collected fallen leaves. Along the road was a row of trees that were overgrown with wild fruits that were bent. This is sour fruit, which tastes sour and astringent, and the mule likes it. eat all the way.

On the way, Wen Xiang was surprised to find a sea of ​​flowers, a large area of ​​blooming roses of various colors swaying in the spring breeze, a piece of radiance.

"Wow!" Wen Xiang yelled wow wow and rushed into the rose bushes, startling a lot of butterflies flying.

"Well——" She took a deep breath, and the rich floral fragrance filled her heart in an instant, refreshing her spirits; walking through the sea of ​​roses, she found a field of magnolia, peony, clove, and mint, basil, mugwort, etc. A large piece of grass grows very vigorously.

Here is simply the sea of ​​flowers, the world of flowers.

Wen Xiang immediately dug several flower seedlings, and also picked a large basket of mint, basil, and wormwood. She believed that if these flowers and plants bloomed in the yard, they must be a kind of beautiful enjoyment, or they might be sold in the county town, and they might even be sold. Can make a small profit.
