[System, sign in. ]
[Ding—Successful sign-in on the fifth day of fleeing famine, sign-in rewards: a catty of rice, three bottles of purified water, and a piece of compressed biscuit.Rewards have been put into system space. 】
On the fifth day of the sign-in for fleeing from famine, Lu Changge will go to the field to collect white radishes today.
Not long after breakfast, there was a knock on the door.
"Uncle Lu, here we come!"
Hearing the sound, Lu Changge took the cloth bags piled up by the courtyard wall.
Seeing that Daddy was about to go out, Xiaotuanzi trotted after him while chewing on the buns.
An old man with gray hair was driving an ox cart, and there were five or six children standing beside the ox cart.
"Uncle Lu, can we keep our younger brothers and sisters at your house? Today, Miss Xiao Min and I have no adults at home." The little boy standing next to the old man said cautiously
"Yes." Lu Changge nodded.
"Thank you Uncle Lu!"
To collect white radishes today, Lu Changge went to find people and tools yesterday.
The little boy who spoke just now is Li Tugen, eight years old.
The white-haired old man driving the ox cart was his grandfather, and Li Tugen also had a two-year-old brother.
The little sister he is talking about is Li Xiaomin, she is 12 years old.
There are no adults in Li Xiaomin's family, only four siblings.
The eight-year-old brother is Li Erniu, and there is a pair of two-year-old twins, Li Sanya and Li Sihu.
The three grandparents and the four siblings are all from two families close to Lu Changge's house.
When the two of them came to help, they would bring their younger siblings.
One is that they are the same age as Xiaotuanzi, so they can play together.
Secondly, there are no adults at home, and they don't feel relieved that their younger siblings are alone at home.
After coming and going, Dahei and Erhei became familiar with them.
Dahei, who was lying on guard by the gate, only took a glance when he saw the children walking into the house.
After the younger brothers and sisters were settled down, Li Tugen helped move the necessary tools to the ox cart.
"Uncle Lu, it's fine."
"Ah."
Just as they were about to set off, Xiaotuanzi ran out with Erhei.
There is also Ervine, which is woven into a small rattan hat and worn on the head of the dumpling.
"Daddy... Tuanzi is going too!"
"What are you going to do?"
"Tuanzi is going to pull radishes... Luobei!"
"No." Lu Changge refused without thinking.
"Your father is right. Pulling carrots is not fun at all. Brother Tuanzi, you can play games with Sanya and the others at home." Li Tugen on the side also persuaded.
"No... Tuanzi is generous to help, and Erhei is also generous." Tuanzi patted Erhei's leg, vowing.
"Wow!" Erhei barked in agreement.
At this time, Su Qingyun's shout came from the house.
"Duanzi... where have you been, Duanzi?"
"Father Mu—Wo wants to go with Daddy...Baluo—North!" Xiaotuanzi turned around and shouted home.
Su Qingyun thought it was Xianggong who wanted to bring the dumplings, so she didn't think much about it.
"Okay! Go and listen to your father, don't run around!"
"I see—" Xiaotuanzi responded to Father Mu's words.
Then he turned back and looked up at his father obediently, "Daddy, Tuanzi is obedient and doesn't run around."
Fine.
Lu Changge picked up the little boy and put him on the bullock cart.
Grandpa Li, who was leading the cow, saw that the dumpling had sat down, and then started to drive the cow.
Cattle are more precious to farmers, and they have to be taken care of at all times except during busy farming seasons.
So except for Xiaotuanzi, everyone else had to walk there.
Back then when Lu Changge bought land, he bought several pieces of land together.
And the ones you buy are all close to your home, so you can get there in 10 minutes if you walk slowly.
Ten minutes later, the half acre of land where white radish was planted finally arrived.
The bullock cart stopped in front of the radish field.
Grandpa Li unloaded the wooden cart from the cow and tied the cow to a tree to let it graze.
Seeing that Tuanzi wanted to get off the car, Li Xiaomin habitually carried him down.
It was only after hugging that he realized that this was not her brother.
"Thank you sister." After standing up, Tuanzi thanked sister Xiao Min.
"No...it's okay." Li Xiaomin stammered.
After arriving at the place, Li Tugen and the others started to work.
One person and one ridge began to pull out.
Li Tugen's grandfather and grandson, Li Xiaomin's siblings, a total of four people, plus Lu Changge.
The five ridges can be pulled out in one round.
Li Tugen and the others have been doing farm work since they were young, so pulling radishes is not a problem for them.
In addition, last night Lu Changge asked Er Teng to loosen the soil.
This radish is easier to pull.
It's just a two-year-old Xiaotuanzi who can crush a big turnip with a little effort.
"Wow! Daddy... Tuanzi is a big dick!"
Xiaotuanzi said happily with a big carrot in his hands.
"Uncle Lu, the soil in your field doesn't seem to be hard at all, and it doesn't take much effort to get rid of it." Li Tugen was surprised.
"The soil is loose and soft, as if it has been loosened in advance. It seems that we can finish work earlier." Grandpa Li on the side also said with emotion.
Hearing what this human being said, Erto subconsciously felt guilty.
Then I realized that this human being doesn't know its own existence, so why is it guilty?
Xiaotuanzi found that pulling radishes was quite fun, so he continued to pull them.
Erhei on the side is even smarter.
The front paws scraped the surrounding soil a few times, and then went to the front one after scraping.
At the same time, he kicked with his hind legs and knocked down the previous tree.
The front and back claws worked together, and Erhei pulled out a lot in a short time.
Of course, before kicking, Erhei carefully put away his sharp claws.
Xiaotuanzi pulled out a few of them, and when he looked up, he saw Erhei running in front of him.
And the white radishes behind Erhei were all lying on the ground crookedly.
"Wow, Erhei, you are so annoying!" Xiaotuanzi ran to Erhei.
"Wang Wang!"
Erhei raised his head and barked twice, indicating that he had received his compliment.
Xiaotuanzi looked up and saw that the radishes that his father and his brothers and sisters had pulled were neatly arranged.
Only Erhei made a mess.
"Erhei, I'm here to help you."
After Xiaotuanzi finished speaking, he began to help.
Because Erhei kicks radishes as he likes, the radishes are often kicked in all directions.
Xiaotuanzi had to run over to pick it up and put it away.
Xiaotuanzi was running around in the field, and soon began to sweat.
With a swipe of his little hand, he instantly turned into a little cat, but he didn't know it yet.
"Daddy! Wo and Erhei pulled out... a lot!" Xiaotuanzi looked up and laughed with a cat face.
The radish was pulled out by Erhei, and he picked it up and arranged it neatly.
To sum it up, this is the result of the joint labor of Tuanzi and Erhei.
"Is it hot?"
Lu Changge saw that the hair on Tuanzi's forehead was already wet.
"Don't mess with..."
"Go and sit under the tree with Erhei, Daddy will take you home later."
The soil is soft, so it can be pulled out quickly.
Not long after, the four of Li Tugen and the others had already pulled out one-third of it.
"Don't go home...it's fun here." Tuanzi had found the fun and didn't want to go home.
"Go home and eat a big watermelon."
Lu Changge signed in yesterday, and there was a watermelon in the sign-in reward.
"Big Guagua...want to eat it!"
Tuanzi obviously remembered the big watermelon his father put in the well this morning, and his attention was successfully diverted.
As time goes on, the sun starts to rise slowly.
The dumplings playing in the shade of the trees felt a little hot.
After two-thirds of the radish has been pulled out, start loading the car.
Pinch off the radish tassels, put them neatly into cloth bags, tie them up, and stack them on a wooden cart one by one.
The bullock cart set off, and Lu Changge called back Xiaotuanzi who had run away.
"Tuanzi, it's time to go home."
"...Here we come!" Xiaotuanzi, who was running around to pick wild flowers, heard his father calling him, but didn't pick the flowers anymore, so he hurried back.
Erhei, who had been standing by the dumpling all the time, also trotted back
On the way back, the bullock cart was full of things and there was no place to sit.
After Xiaotuanzi walked for a few minutes, he couldn't move anymore, so Lu Changge picked him up.
When they were about to get home, Xiaotuanzi shouted excitedly: "Father Mu—Wo and Daddy are back!"
Not long after Xiaotuanzi yelled, Su Qingyun appeared at the gate.
As soon as Xiaotuanzi's feet hit the ground, he immediately ran to his father, waving the flowers in his hand to his father as he ran.
"Father Mu, Tuanzi picked a little wow for you!"
Su Qingyun took the flowers from Tuanzi's hand, and seeing his gray face, couldn't help laughing.
"How did you get your face dirty?"
"The dumpling is big——Luobei, you're tired!" Xiaotuanzi said, giving himself a thumbs up.
After entering the gate, Xiaotuanzi saw the three friends squatting by the pool, and his attention was diverted again.
Xiaotuanzi ran over curiously.
The ox cart stopped in front of the stone steps of the gate, and Lu Changge carried it into the yard with one hand and one bag, and it was finished after a few trips.
Seeing that Xianggong finished moving, Su Qingyun, who was waiting at the side, walked over with mung bean soup.
Lu Changge took it and finished it in two gulps.
Grandpa Li also drank from a bowl.
"I cooked some mung bean soup. You can take some with you when you go to the field later to quench Xiao Min's thirst."
"it is good."
Bringing mung bean soup, Lu Changge and Uncle Li went to the field again.
One morning, after five or six shipments, I finally collected all the white radishes.
When collecting, Lu Changge made an estimate by the way:
I collected 100 small radishes weighing half a catty, a total of 50 catties.
Medium-sized radishes are basically about two catties, and there are 300 of them in total, with a total weight of about 600 catties.
There are also four or five catties of big radishes, there are 75 of them, and it is estimated to be about 350 catties.
Therefore, Lu Changge's half-acre white radish field harvested a total of more than 1000 catties of white radish.
Regardless of the size, a total of 475 white radishes were harvested.
There are so many white radishes piled up on the courtyard walls on both sides, and it feels like a big harvest when you look at it.
At the very least, Lu Changge, who has the attribute of storing food, felt very happy when he saw it.
The last trip back to the field to transport radish tassels.
Uncle Li looked at the potato field next to him, grinned and said, "Is it possible to harvest these potatoes?"
"Well, it can be accepted at the end of June." Lu Changge nodded.
"That's coming soon, it doesn't take long..."
Radishes and potatoes are actually grown by the villagers.
It's just planted in your own vegetable garden, just sprinkle some seeds and water a little, and then let it grow freely.
It would be a waste for them to use fertile land like Lu Changge to grow.
After all, only poor families eat radishes and potatoes when they have no money to buy rice.
