These farming experiences are accumulated by generations. Farmers rely on the land for their livelihood, so they have to be careful.
”Last time Zhou Zhou said that if the weather is good, one mu of land can produce 200 catties – oh, more than two dan of grain.”
The paddy fields seem to have more, about 300 kilograms, and the dry fields over 200 kilograms are already quite good.
I found the answer today. The paddy field produces 300 kilograms because of the fertilizer. The dry field is purely dependent on the rain, snow and the rest of the land. If there is fertilizer, the yield will be greatly increased.
Gu Zhao said to remember, but he didn’t expect that there is so much knowledge in farming.
Wang Shitou had a very happy chat. When he returned home, he told Xingger that Gu Zhao was a nice guy and that he spoke differently as a scholar. He also praised his knowledge of farming.
This kind of land is just for farming, what’s the point of learning it? Wang Shitou said this with a proud look on his face.
Now, after talking for a while, it’s time to make lunch. Li Zhouzhou went to the kitchen, and Xing Ge’er put Yuanyuan on his husband’s lap, rolled up his sleeves and went to the kitchen to help. In fact, it was mainly to chat, he was so bored, it was not easy to learn in the main hall, his uncle was there.
Xing’er is still afraid of his uncle.
Now that they were in the kitchen, and the baby didn’t need him to look after him for the time being, Xing Ge’er was very happy. While working, he said, “You know, Tian came back from her parents’ home yesterday and cursed at Daniu all the way. Did you hear it?”
Zhang Zhuzi’s house is separated from Li Zhouzhou’s house by Aunt Wang’s yard. Xing’er heard the story from the villagers, but it was not as detailed as the live version. He immediately urged Li Zhouzhou to speak, his eyes full of eagerness.
Li Zhouzhou: “…I went back to Datian Village yesterday, and it seems that Daniu had eaten the meat that his mother brought back to her home.”
”I heard about this. Zhang’s family brought a lot of gifts back to her parents’ home, including chickens, eggs, meat, and candy. They said they were in a good mood these days and didn’t beat or scold kids. They said Zhang Zhuzi agreed to go back to her parents’ home to get a generous gift, and Zhang’s family gave their brother good things. How could he not be upset?” Xing Ge’er looked at him eagerly and asked, “How did she scold?”
Li Zhouzhou couldn’t continue, so he changed the subject and asked, “Would you like to grill some fish?”
”Eat.” Xing Ge’er admitted. He knew he couldn’t get anything out of Li Zhouzhou. While picking vegetables, he said, “How come you’re married and have a man, but you still can’t learn these things? I don’t know why. When I was young and a boy at home, I didn’t like to listen to these things, but now that I’m married, I like to listen to these things.”
There were two fish left. Li Zhouzhou fished out one and killed it, saying, “Before, they said you were talking about me. Of course, you didn’t like it. You had a lot of work to do at home and didn’t have time to listen. Now you have nothing to do.”
”That’s true.” Xing Ge’er thought about it and it was true. When he was at home, he was eight years older than his brother. He was responsible for washing clothes, cooking, feeding chickens and pigs. When he was older, he cut grass for pigs and picked peanuts. He was very busy and when he was free, he would embroider some things to sell in town.
No time to listen to or learn about right and wrong.
After I married into the Wang family, there were only so many things to do in the house. My eldest sister-in-law and mother-in-law were quick and hardworking. There wasn’t much work to do in the public housing, so I just had to take care of the things in my own house and wash clothes. Later, when I got pregnant with Yuanyuan, there was even less work to do. It was boring to stay at home all day. I could listen to gossip for an entire afternoon after taking a walk.
”You are busy now, but when you get pregnant in the future, you will definitely be the same as me. I learned this problem when I was pregnant with Yuanyuan.” Xing Ge’er said with certainty.
Li Zhouzhou was both excited and anxious when he thought about having a baby. His mole was too light, so light that it was not noticeable unless you looked carefully. He didn’t know if he could have a baby…
The two people in the kitchen were talking without stopping their work, and soon they had prepared a table full of food.
Braised fish with soybean sauce, a bowl of fried chicken meatballs, a big bowl of stewed pork, cabbage and tofu, the sausages I made when I came back from Dongping Village yesterday, which were hung overnight and steamed and cut into slices, as well as pork offal, a pig head braised with soybean sauce, and a pot of white rice. I don’t eat any whole grains anymore.
”Zhou Zhou, I never had such good food when I first married into the Wang family.” Xing Ge’er looked at the table and it was almost time for the feast.
Li Zhouzhou said: “My father traded meat for the fish. This year we have more fish and offal. My husband said the chicken tastes good when fried. It’s a bit too much, but we are family, so we just eat it.” he didn’t feel bad about it.
Xing Ge’er felt relieved after hearing this, because he knew Li Zhouzhou’s character was not one to say nice things.
The meal was placed on the big table in the main room. There were three long benches. Li Da sat on one, Li Zhouzhou and Gu Zhao sat on one, and Xingger and Wang Shitou sat on one. It was just right.
