The daily life of a farm girl raising a family

Chapter 14 Planting Kiwis
  Zhao Yunxi couldn't believe the mess in front of him. There were kiwi fruits everywhere, and even the kiwi vines had been killed.

When I thought about those people coming back to pick it, I never expected that they would destroy it so thoroughly.

"Who is it? It's so abominable. All the good fruits were thrown on the ground."

Looking at the completely destroyed kiwi forest in front of him, Zhao Yunxi was so angry that his heart ached.

Walking further into the forest, behind a patch of thorns, there was actually a piece of intact kiwi fruit.

Without any hesitation at the moment, he greeted several people to take the last piece of kiwi fruit into their bags. By the way, I broke a lot of kiwi vines and planted a lot in the space.

In the end, about five hundred kilograms were shipped home. I looked at the kiwis in the utility room. These kiwi fruits can probably be sold for ten taels of silver, which will give the family enough money to buy cattle.

At night, in the east wing.

Zhao Youliang's health has improved a lot after being nursed back to health by the space spring water. In order not to arouse suspicion, Zhao Yunxi slowly reduced the use of spring water.

At this time, the father and daughter were playing backgammon on the bed. Because Zhao Yunxi had no talent for Go, she had to teach her father to play this simple and easy game. The father and daughter were very happy playing back and forth.

Zhao Yunxi blocked the path of the black chess piece that was about to become five, and said, "Dad, how are your feet feeling lately?"

"It's much better. The calf bone should be repairing during this period, and the calf is itchy. I just don't know when I can get out of bed and walk. Your mother said that you are planting winter wheat, and dad can't help."

"Dad, just take care of your body with peace of mind. Only if you take good care of your body can we feel at ease."

The next day, Zhao Yunxi's brother and sister had breakfast and headed towards the mountain. After wandering around the mountains for a long time, I finally found a place suitable for growing kiwi fruit.

When Zhao Yunxi and others passed by the village entrance home, they could still hear the villagers discussing the Zhao family's winter wheat planting.

Zhao Yunxi didn't want to pay attention to these voices at all. The truth will always be in the hands of a few people. It’s normal to have doubts when things don’t work out.

The two families who grew winter wheat worked in the fields for three days and finally planted twenty acres of wheat.

At the same time, according to Zhao Yunxi's request, five ground ponds and two ponds were dug. Because this land is some distance from the river, ponds were dug to store water for easy irrigation. If possible, Zhao Yunxi would like to dig a ditch.

At night, Zhao Yunxi looked at his tired second uncle, hesitated for a moment and finally spoke: "Second uncle, you will have a hard day tomorrow and we will plant kiwi fruits. It is already November. If you don't plant it this year, it will be too late."

"Okay, my second uncle knows and will go up the mountain tomorrow."

Early the next morning, Zhao Youcai took the three families and the Zhao Yang brothers and went up the mountain carrying farm tools.

Today they need to cut the kiwi fruit branches. After all, if you plant them one year earlier, you can harvest them one year earlier.

This mountain is indeed sunny and humid. The two Yongye fields can basically cover the mountain. There is a flat land at the bottom of the mountain that is particularly suitable for growing kiwis. After choosing a location, the two families started to get busy.

"Xiaojiu, what is the distance between each vine?"

"Second uncle and cousin, each vine is about 6 feet apart, and each row is about four to five feet apart."

"understood."

Zhao Youcai and others planted the kiwi vines according to Zhao Yunxi's request. Zhao Yunxi's brothers and sisters watered the plants behind them. Of course, the water was mixed with space spring water by Zhao Yunxi.

A group of people worked on the mountain for two days and finally planted kiwi vines all over the mountain. Two pond pits were also dug along the way to facilitate fertilization and watering in the future.

When we returned home in the afternoon, a group of people were so tired that they could not stand up straight. That night, several people had dinner and went to bed early.

The next day, Zhao Yunxi slept until three o'clock in the morning before getting up. When they walked to the yard, they heard Zhao Yunshu muttering quietly.

"Sister, if you feel unhappy, you can just say it directly. There is no need to say bad things behind your back." Zhao Yunshu, who was caught on the spot, blushed instantly.

"Don't accuse me unfairly. Which of your ears heard me saying bad things about you?"

Listening to Zhao Yunshu's lack of confidence, Zhao Yunxi had no time to respond: "You can't help me if you don't admit it. And it's useless even if you are jealous. After all, everyone knows that I am smart."

Seeing Zhao Yunxi enter the kitchen triumphantly, Zhao Yunshu stomped her feet angrily.

In the afternoon, several people studying in the county took a break and went home.

The first time Zhao Yunzheng came home, he went back to the house to see his father. By the way, report your learning progress. Zhao Youliang felt very sad when he looked at his eldest son who was obviously thin.

"Don't be too frugal when you study in the academy. You must eat well. Otherwise, your body will not be able to bear it."

"Dad, I ate well. Maybe I was under a lot of pressure during this period, so I lost weight. But it finally paid off. Master said my chances of passing the government examination increased by 10%."

Seeing the light in his eldest son's eyes when he talked about studying, Zhao Youliang was also very pleased. But I still told him to take good care of his health.

In the hall, Zhao Yunzheng reported what he had just said again, focusing on some key points. The master was going to let his second brother take the exam together.

Originally, he was happy when he heard the eldest grandson said that he had more chances to pass the government examination. In an instant, I heard the eldest grandson say that Erlang could also take the county examination, and the smile on his face became even brighter.

Old Zhaotou looked at Erlang and asked him for confirmation. Zhao Yunsong said with a smile: "Aweng, are we still going to use this matter to deceive you? Master said that according to my current study progress, I should have no problem passing the county examination."

Hearing his grandson's clear answer, Old Zhaotou happily slapped his thigh.

Several people who had just returned home from the fields were startled by the deafening laughter. Zhao Yunxi, who entered the main room and was about to report the news to Old Zhaotou, looked at the upright elder brother in the main room.

"Brother, you need to take a rest!"

"Yes, I just heard that you planted kiwi fruits, and the wheat you planted earlier has sprouted."

Hearing his elder brother talking about wheat, Zhao Yunxi raised his head proudly. Everyone couldn't help but laugh when they saw this.

After a while, thinking of what he had just said about getting rich, Zhao Yunxi told Old Zhaotou the news.

"Isn't it a good thing to look good?"

Seeing everyone's doubts, Zhao Yunxi told what he learned from the system.

"Aweng, if it is spring wheat, there is no problem in growing like this. But in winter, the wheat seedlings grow too high and the wheat seedlings are too thin and it is difficult for them to survive the winter. So we need to slow down the growth of the wheat seedlings."

Old Zhaotou asked doubtfully: "But how can we control the growth rate of this wheat seedling?"

"Aweng, it's simple. We just need to step on the ground firmly. When the ground is firm, the growth rate of the wheat seedlings will naturally slow down. The roots of the wheat seedlings will become stronger and stronger, making it easier to survive the winter."

Zhao Yunsong directly asked the doubts in his heart: "Xiaojiu, is your method reliable?"

"Don't worry, it must be reliable."

Although they were all suspicious, everyone followed Zhao Yunxi to the field.

Finally, the brothers who had the most fun were those who were actually studying. I guess they were under too much pressure during this period, so they let it go today.

In the evening, after a group of people arrived home having fun, they found that the atmosphere at home was a bit strange.
