    ?

    Planting sticks started the next morning. There were few cattle in the village, so strong men pulled the plows.  The rest of the manure is collective retting.

    The women planted the seeds, and the children covered the seeds with their feet.

    Zhang Hongmei was assigned behind Wang Hongxi's wife. The land was a bit dry, and it was full of big rubbish.

    "There's no other way, we can only make do with it, the soil is dry, it will be fine if it rains."

    Just after planting about ten mu of land in the morning, Wang Hongxi stopped.  Several people gathered at Liu Changhe's house.

    "Mistress, this stick can't be planted, and it won't come out after planting it." Wang Hongxi squatted on the ground worrying.

    "Then plant sorghum, plant it in the afternoon, and plant sticks with ten acres of land in the morning?"

    "Yes, it is because the ground is too dry to pull the plow, so the planting is slow."

    "Growing sorghum is good, I'm afraid we won't be able to pay the public grain." Liu Maocai was also worried.

    "We'll talk about it when the time comes. It would be nice to be able to grow food in this weather." Liu Changhe has never been afraid of trouble.

    "Then what if the comrades from the technical station come down to check?"

    "Let's plant it first. Last year when the technicians came, the seedlings of the farmer's plant had grown to a foot high. This year, we can't let us replant it? It's just that it's hard for Maocai."

    "What am I afraid of? If you don't win, you won't do it. It's better than eating without food."

    "Then it's settled, sorghum will be planted in the afternoon, and if someone has a moth, someone will come to me." The old lady made a domineering decision.

    In the afternoon, sorghum was planted, and Zhang Hongmei thought about taking out the seeds from the space?

    Undecided in my heart, I finally gritted my molars and bet.  "Auntie, my family has a hybrid sorghum seed that my parents brought over. I'll go home and show it to my grandma and your uncle."

    "Go, I'll help you later."

    Zhang Hongmei ran back with her daughter, just for show, and ran to Liu Changhe's house with a handful of sorghum seeds.

    "Tai Nai, do you think this sorghum is planted?" Zhang Hongmei handed the seeds to the old lady.

    "Where is this?" The old lady was a little excited while holding the sorghum seeds.

    "This is what my parents brought back."

    "how many?"

    "There's a big bag."

    "Hongmei, go to your third master and ask him to go to your house to fetch all the sorghum seeds and plant them immediately."

    "Are you looking for my Third Master or Uncle Wang?"

    The old lady squinted her eyes, but her heart moved, how did this girl become like this?  Is it really genetic?

    "Then go to Wang Hongxi. Go, don't delay."

    Zhang Hongmei found Wang Hongxi and handed him the sorghum seeds in her hand, "Uncle, look, my parents brought them back before. They said they were hybrid sorghum, drought-resistant, short in straw, and high in yield. I just remembered today. Shall we plant them?"  ?¡±

    "Let's go, I'll fetch it with you, and we'll plant it right away." Wang Hongxi rubbed the sorghum in her hands, thinking that if it was true, there would be hope. As the production team leader, she only cared about the harvest in the field, as for what to plant.  Liu Maocai went to take care of it.

    This bag of sorghum weighs more than 100 catties, and it is estimated that it can be used to plant more than 100 mu of land.

    It took four days to finish planting, but Liu Maocai was having a hard time. He had to go to the village for a meeting tomorrow, so he didn't know how he would be criticized.

    The melon seedlings raised by herself can be planted. It took Zhang Hongmei a day to plant all the plots, and gave some to Li Cuihua, who also helped Erya with the work.

    I have been in the field for the past few days, and I feel my face is dark, but I still can't resist the temptation to go up the mountain, so I decided to go back up the mountain tomorrow.

    In the space, I deliberately looked at what the leaves of ginseng look like, maybe I can still find them?  I also saw the appearance of Ganoderma lucidum, I just know it, but I haven't seen it.

    Erya knew that Zhang Hongmei was going to go up the mountain again, and she was very conflicted. Her mother saw that Zhang Hongmei was not allowed to go up the mountain, but Zhang Hongmei had to go, which was really embarrassing.

    "Sister Erya, why are you in trouble, I will really avoid danger this time."

    "Is that something you can dodge?"

    "Let's be honest, I just planted sweet potato seedlings into the mountains, why don't you come with me?"

    "Come on, let's go together."

    Zhang Hongmei said in her heart that you just want to go, so just say no?

    The next day, Zhang Hongmei came over at 5:20, and Zhang Hongmei brought goat milk and bean buns.  As for the water, you bring your own.  The back baskets of both of them were full of sweet potato seedlings. The last time Zhang Hongmei went up the mountain, he had taken a good look at the place.??In the deep mountains, there are not many animal footprints there.  There should be no danger.

    The two girls set off with the frame on their backs and the pickaxe on their shoulders.

    The land in the mountains is too far away from the water source, so I don¡¯t water it, and let the gods enjoy the food. It can grow the best, and if it can¡¯t grow, it¡¯s just to put some sweet potato seedlings.  Besides, it can grow and destroy animals.  That's why it is said that God rewards food.

    The two of them walked for nearly two hours before they arrived. Grass sprouts appeared on the ground, which looked quite wet.

    "Sister Erya, let's not dig the ridges, just dig the holes and plant them. It will be dangerous after a long time."

    "Middle, otherwise we can't finish it in four or five days, so hurry up and try to finish it today."

    The two of them drank their saliva and then went to work.  It wasn't until all the baskets of sweet potato seedlings were planted that I sat down to rest and even ate lunch.

    Three bean buns per person, Zhang Hongmei took a break after eating two, and then went on working again.

    "Hongmei, what do you say if there is a drought this year? Our teacher said that there was a drought last year, and we are fine. I am afraid that this year we will also be drought, and we will not even be able to eat."

    "I don't know about that either, but just in case."

    The two ended the topic and continued to work hard.  It was not until four o'clock in the afternoon that the two finally finished planting.  Zhang Hongmei felt that she couldn't lift her arms.  Sitting on the ground with a wry smile, "Sister Erya is exhausting me to death. I want to lie on the ground directly."

    "Get up quickly, we have to go home quickly, it will be dark at home, or we will be accused again."

    "You didn't tell me San Niang, did you?"

    "No, if I tell you, neither of us will be able to get out, so get up and go." Liu Erya pulled Zhang Hongmei up, stacked the two frames together on her back, and put two handles on her shoulders.

    The two went back to their respective homes when they arrived in the village. Zhang Hongmei was really tired today, and went into the space after feeding the sheep.

    After taking a bath in the spiritual spring water, I came out and watered all the melon seedlings in the yard.  If you don't do it, you can't do it, or it will be in vain.

    In the space, some pumpkins, winter melons, and pumpkin seedlings are being cultivated, and they are also planted in the mountains. It is better than nothing.

    I didn't even bother to eat, so I went straight to sleep.  Wait until you wake up.

    The next day, Zhang Hongmei went to carry water in high spirits, thinking that if there was a severe drought, the well would probably dry up, so what should I do to drink water then?

    Hurriedly went to Liu Changhe's house to ask, and went straight into the yard and ran to the old lady's house.

    "Too grandma, won't the well dry up if there is a severe drought?" (Remember the website address of this website: www.hlnovel.com
