Lady Caisang: My husband is a little sweet

Chapter 90 Spring Equinox
At this time, it has been about ten days after the Awakening of Insects, and a few days later, it will be the vernal equinox, and the rice seeds that have been soaked and germinated will be sown in the fields after the vernal equinox, and covered with straw curtains made of bamboo and straw to prevent cold and heat preservation.

The field is full of busy farmers in coir raincoats. Yan's father fixed his own and went to help Liu's. After last year, the relationship between the two families is even better now.

Unfortunately, this year, the second day of February is also the vernal equinox. On this day, adults rarely go to the field, and even if they do, they come back early.

Gu Shi and his children were busy in the kitchen, making rice cakes, cooking fish and steaming rice. This was for offering sacrifices to the Lord of the Land. In the afternoon, they would go to the riverside to offer sacrifices to the Dragon King.

Compared with the busyness of the adults, the children are a little excited, and even if they help the adults, they are a little absent-minded, because today is the vernal equinox, and the vernal equinox is a rare game for children, and it is also a competition between children.

Put the prepared cooked food into the food basket, put candles, incense sticks, and folded paper money, and father Yan and Gu Shi carried them to the Earth Temple.

Gu Qingya watched her parents go out, turned around and saw her younger brother and sister looking at her expectantly, she couldn't help shaking her head, seeing the eagerness, "Mother has already made arrangements, but you are still in such a hurry, here, one for each, broken But it's gone."

With that said, Gu Qingya took out a large porcelain bowl with four eggs in it, Yan Qinghe and Yan Qingcha picked out the ones in it, each chose a satisfactory one, carefully put it into a small purse, and went to play with other children up.

Gu Qingya muttered behind her that she ran slower and didn't let them slow down, she shook her head, looked at the two eggs left in the bowl, took them to the living room, and said to Fang: "Grandma, Qing Pu I'll bring it and teach him how to erect eggs."

"Qingpu is still young, don't you want to play with me?" Fang asked with a smile, it is not common for the vernal equinox to be on the same day as February [-], so this day does not restrict children too much.

"It's okay, I'll just wait for someone to come to me." Gu Qingya said, stepped forward to pick up Yan Qingpu, put it on the table, and put a small plaque on it to prevent the eggs from rolling off the table and falling to the ground.

"Qingpu, follow my sister's example, put the egg upright, and then you can grow taller." Gu Qingya said, holding Yan Qingpu's little hand to support the egg, but failed.

"Sister, Eggy, Eggy." Although Yan Qingpu said he was three years old, in fact he was only two weeks old, and he didn't speak so sharply, but he didn't playfully grab the egg and throw it away.

"Yes, the egg, Qingpu is good, hold it upright." Gu Qingya guided carefully, but she didn't expect that the egg really stood up. She was very happy, "Our Qingpu is so good, the egg stands upright." Wake up, you must grow taller this year."

Although Fang couldn't see it, she sat aside and listened all the time, smiling so hard that her eyes narrowed, "It's really standing up? It seems that this year's omen is good."

"Tall, tall." Yan Qingpu said happily, clapping his little hands.

Seeing this, Gu Qingya also stood up her own egg, and it took a while.It is said that "the vernal equinox is here, the eggs are pretty" mainly because everyone celebrates the arrival of spring, but everyone likes to imply other meanings, so she said that Yan Qingpu will grow taller in the future, which is just a good expectation.

After putting away the eggs, Gu Qingya carried Yan Qingpu down, put on her little shoes, protected him as he walked, and taught him a few more complicated sentences from time to time.

When Father Yan and Gu Shi came back from the Earth Temple, Yan Qinghe and Yan Qingcha also followed behind. Seeing the happy faces of the two of them, they knew that they had won a lot in the competition with the children, and the two little guys also knew that they would It was wrong for the eldest sister to leave her at home, so she obediently went to the kitchen to help heat up the meals.

Father Yan was very happy when he knew that Yan Qingpu succeeded in erecting the egg. He hugged him two more times, and he succeeded. Some things are more spiritual.

After all, they also planted mung beans this year, not as many as the Liu family, but I hope there will be a good sign.

All the family members of the Dragon King will go there. This is a custom in Sanhua County. All kinds of cooked food are laid out on the bank. When the adults are lighting incense and praying, the children will grab the early Throw the prepared straw and mulberry leaves into the river.

The amount of throwing is very small, which means to let the Dragon King know what he grows. This year, the weather is good, and the youngest boy in the family usually does it.

After the vernal equinox, there was another two days of light rain, and then the temperature rose day by day. Around Qingming, the temperature was almost the same as the dog days.Many adults and elders in the village are also discussing, and they all have bad guesses.

However, most people still did not reduce the planting area of ​​rice. One is that the seeds have been sown, and the other is the main food. Everyone unanimously moved a lot of land to plant sweet potatoes. It is uncomfortable to eat too much, but it is still full anyway. tripe.

Taking advantage of the relatively high temperature in these few days, Father Yan and Father Liu took their families to plant mung beans, peanuts, soybeans and other things in the prepared field, and worked hard to water them again.

And this time planting mung beans and peanuts, the manure that Gu Qingya got last year is all ripe, it looks dark, and it seems to be greasy, it is more beautiful than those burned with fire dung, and it is softer, you can tell which one at a glance species is more suitable.

Father Liu saw it by accident, and found out what was going on after asking curiously, but it took too long, at least a month, so it would be faster than burning fire dung.

Gu Qingya still prefers the one she discovered, which is obviously more efficient than the burned one, and depending on the ingredients, the length of retting is also different, and more importantly, it can be diluted with water or soil.

Facing the eyes of Father Yan and Father Liu who were full of knowledge, I couldn't help but feel lucky that I just found another book in the Library Pavilion that introduced the retting in detail.

The composting in the countryside is actually very simple. Plants and trees are mixed with soil and burned. The excrement of animals, humans and livestock are all mixed in a pit, regardless of whether they are fermented or not, they are all used directly.

"Qingya, these methods of yours seem to be good, but how to do it seems a bit troublesome." Liu's father is actually very concerned about this issue. After the land in Dian increases, the already strained fertilizer will not be enough. The things Gu Qingya said are used in normal times, but how to make what can irrigate half an acre of land into one acre of land is the most critical.

"It's definitely more troublesome to do it for the first time. It needs to build a pond or dig a hole, but after the first time it's done, it will be convenient in the future." Gu Qingya thought about it, and said her thoughts. What kind of plastic bags are written, I don’t know what it is at all, I can only understand it from other descriptions.

"After sweeping the tomb, let's try to study it." Yan's father decided, "Liu Da, if someone asks, you can say that we thought about it together." This is to protect my daughter, such a method It is not a good thing to get it from the mouth of a child, whether it is heard or thought.
