NOVEL SIMPLE The happy little days of the Ye family
Chapter 48 Fertilize the small back hill and plant honeysuckle
The honeysuckle and fruit trees in Xiaohoushan have been planted for more than a month. Mr. Ye and Father Ye plan to go to Xiaohoushan to fertilize the honeysuckle and fruit trees.
The Ye family raises 6 pigs, but the 6 pigs are not big now. The Ye family's farm fertilizer is only enough for the family's fields, and it is far from enough to apply to the honeysuckle and fruit trees.
Mr. Ye went to a large pig farmer in the village early and ordered a lot of farm fertilizer.
Early in the morning, Mr. Ye and his father took their neighbors Tang Dalin and Tang Erlin to transport fertilizer.
Four people and two carts took several trips to transport all the fertilizer to Xiaohoushan.
Fertilizer cannot be used directly, otherwise it will burn the roots. It must be diluted before being poured into the soil.
Father Ye scooped two spoonfuls of refreshing farmyard manure into the empty bucket, added stream water to the bucket, and then carried a full bucket of fragrant farmyard manure to fertilize a few smaller toona trees.
The little toon tree that was only as high as Father Ye's calf before has grown to be as tall as Father Ye's thigh, and the trunk of the tree has also become thicker.
Father Ye scooped some farmyard manure and poured it evenly on the soil around the small toon tree. The fertilizer should not be poured directly on the roots of the tree, but should be poured on the soil a little further away from the roots.
After fertilizing the toon tree by the stream, Father Ye came to the edge of the big puddle again. The traps Ye's father dug before were still there. Every time he came to Xiaohoushan, Mr. Ye would come over to take a look. Unfortunately, he never caught any more prey.
Father Ye fertilized the toon tree and went to the trap to check, but still found nothing.
Just as he was about to leave, Ye's father found a toon seedling next to the puddle. Ye's father fertilized the toon seedling with a smile. It seemed that he had gained nothing.
When Father Ye returned to the stream, Mr. Ye and the others had already watered most of the honeysuckle field, and there were a few more empty buckets by the stream.
Father Ye carried two buckets of diluted farmyard manure to the honeysuckle field. The honeysuckle that was just a small tree before had grown many new branches, and the slender honeysuckle vines had climbed up the nearby trees.
Father Ye looked at the honeysuckle that was almost as high as his waist and Mr. Ye said, "Dad, these honeysuckles have already grown a lot of new branches. Do you want to cut some more? Plant them now and you can pick the honeysuckles next summer."
Mr. Ye sees that these honeysuckle branches are lush and leafy, so cutting off one or two sections of honeysuckle vines should not have much impact.
Mr. Ye nodded in agreement and said, "We will start fertilizing today and ask more people to dig holes on the mountain tomorrow."
After fertilizing the honeysuckle field, a few people went to the fruit forest. The fruit forest was not big, with only about 30 medium-sized fruit seedlings.
Because Ye’s father bought two-year-old fruit seedlings, and it happened to rain lightly for a few days after planting, all the fruit seedlings he planted survived.
The originally bare trunk has grown many new branches, and the new buds and leaves on the branches are green and fresh, which makes people happy to see it.
There are only about 30 fruit trees in the orchard, and a few people fertilize the fruit seedlings in a few clicks. Mr. Ye saw that it was still early, so they went to the bamboo forest to dig bamboo shoots.
The bamboo forest is very big, and there are many treasures in it. The bamboo forest is shady and cool. Even if it hasn't rained in the past few days, there are still many bamboo shoots growing. If you are lucky, you can also find a few bamboo fungus.
The four of them worked in the bamboo forest for almost an hour, digging two large piles of bamboo shoots. When they transported the bamboo shoots back to Ye's house on a cart, it was already completely dark.
Mr. Ye gave today's wages to the two of them and brought several huge bamboo shoots for them to take home to eat. The two brothers were not polite and happily went home to eat with the bamboo shoots in their arms.
The bamboo shoots Mr. Ye digs from the back hill every day are made into sour bamboo shoots by Mrs. Ye. There are more bamboo shoots today, and Mr. Ye plans to make them into dried bamboo shoots.
Ye Mu and Ye Qingqing's hands are for embroidery, and they cannot do rough work often. The old lady is even more addicted to making hair ties and hair ropes. Today, she and Ye Qingqing have developed two new styles.
Mrs. Ye looked at the more than 300 kilograms of bamboo shoots and planned to ask two or three aunts with quick hands and feet to help make dried bamboo shoots.
The young and middle-aged people in the village earn about 20 yuan a day. If they hire some aunts to make dried bamboo shoots, 15 yuan a day will be enough. Mrs. Ye can hire two or three people for half a day's wages. This is no better than working hard for several days. A good deal.
Mrs. Ye spoke to Mr. Ye, and then hurriedly went to find her familiar aunt.
Father Ye felt that since he was so smart, he must have followed Mrs. Ye. By spending a little money and getting things done quickly, you can do more profitable things, and the people in the village will also have extra income. It really kills two birds with one stone.
Originally, he only planned to hire ten people to take cuttings and plant honeysuckle, but Ye’s father planned to increase the number to 20 people.
After explaining to Mr. Ye, Father Ye hurried to the village to find someone to help plant honeysuckle.
After breakfast, Mr. Ye and his father took 20 young adults from the village to Xiaohou Mountain.
The 20 people were divided into two groups, 10 people were responsible for clearing weeds, and the other [-] people were responsible for digging soil and digging holes.
Mr. Ye and Father Ye went to the honeysuckle field and picked out some strong honeysuckle vines and cut them for planting later.
"Dad, we planted about 20 acres of honeysuckle before. How many acres will we plant this time?"
"The honeysuckle is planted sparsely. In fact, there are not many trees. Planting another 30 acres will be enough. Take good care of the 50 acres of honeysuckle land. These will be the wealth of future generations."
Mr. Ye looked at the green honeysuckle field in front of him and said: "Your mother is right. If you need to hire people, hire them. We, father and son, cannot manage such a big mountain."
Father Ye nodded in agreement.
The old man and Father Ye were busy in Xiaohoushan, and the Ye family was equally busy.
Old Mrs. Ye did not let Ye Mu and Ye Qingqing make dried bamboo shoots, so she led three aunts who were quick and agile to make dried bamboo shoots in the yard.
The four of them are all hard-working people with quick hands and feet, and more than 300 kilograms of bamboo shoots were sliced and cooked in just one day.
Ye's mother had just cooked dinner, and the ladies happily went home for dinner with their wages and the bamboo shoots that Mrs. Ye specially left behind.
Before leaving, I did not forget to tell Mrs. Ye: If you need help next time, remember to find them. They are all hard-working people who take care of things well.
Old Mrs. Ye sent a few people out and said cheerfully that she would meet them next time to make dried bamboo shoots.
In the next few days, Father Ye and Mr. Ye took the young adults in the village to Xiaohoushan to plant honeysuckle every day. They would go out early and come back late. After Mrs. Ye had dried all the dried bamboo shoots, Father Ye and the others finally planted honeysuckle. alright.
People in the village knew that Ye's father had invited people to plant honeysuckle in Xiaohoushan, so they all picked the honeysuckle vines in the yard and cut honeysuckle in their own fields.
The village chief even hired more than 50 people in the village to plant dozens of acres of honeysuckle on the two hills of his home.
The weather was good, and as soon as the honeysuckles were planted, it started to rain, and it continued to rain light to moderate all day and night.
After the rain stopped, Mr. Ye went to the honeysuckle field to see the honeysuckle fields. All the honeysuckles in the mountains were growing well, and the newly planted honeysuckles had sprouted many buds and leaves.
The Ye family raises 6 pigs, but the 6 pigs are not big now. The Ye family's farm fertilizer is only enough for the family's fields, and it is far from enough to apply to the honeysuckle and fruit trees.
