208.Put willow and pine branches on the door frame

During the Lantern Festival, there was no Lantern Festival held in the town, probably because of the drought.

On the day of the Lantern Festival, Ms. Liu kneaded several shaped flowers with noodles at home and steamed them. She poured some rapeseed oil into the flower cores, put a small wick in them, and after lighting them, she showed everyone in her family's noses.

, eyes and ears, this festival is over, instead of eating glutinous rice balls, we eat dumplings.

Later, on February 2, before dawn, every household in Linjiagou Village used plant ashes to draw a circle in the yard, put grains in the middle, and pressed it down with bricks and tiles. This was called "Daludun", which means

I am stocking up on food and hoping for a good harvest this year.

Then there are stir-fried beans, also known as stir-fried beans. The main ingredient is soybeans. Soak the soybeans in advance and dry them. After frying them on the same day, you can carry them in your pocket and go to the Tutu Temple to play.

There are many taboos on this day. You are not allowed to drink glutinous rice for fear that it will burn the longan's eyes and your life will not be long. You are not allowed to comb your hair in the room for fear that centipedes will fall on the roof. You are also not allowed to use needlework in the room for fear of damaging the longan's eyes.

.

After February 2, spring planting begins.

There is no need for Yue Jiuyue to fertilize or prepare the land. She and Liu are cultivating sweet potato seedlings at home. They can start planting sweet potatoes around the Qingming Festival.

Because the water in Nanhu Lake is getting less and less, we are about to start farming. It is still an extremely sunny day, and there is no cloudy or rainy weather at all. Everyone is a little anxious, fearing that there will not be enough water by then, so they don’t care about the time.

Arrived, spring planting started early.

Yue Jiuyue did not stop Lin Chaodong and the others from farming, but it took time to cultivate sweet potato seedlings. They planted sweet potatoes using the sweet potato vines left over from last year.

The same goes for other families in the village.

"Mom, our land has been planted, and the land we cleared last year has also been planted. I'm thinking that last year's sweet potatoes didn't grow well. Anyway, I don't have much work these days. I plan to do it again.

If we continue to open up wasteland, we can be exempted from taxes for three years. Do you like it?"

While the boss was eating, he was discussing with Yue Jiuyue.

"You can do whatever you want. You don't have to ask me about these things, right? It's early to plant the land right now, so you can be idle for a few days. When it comes to autumn, you won't be so busy that you hit the back of your head?"

Do you think you’ll be busy enough to come by then?”

Who knows what the situation will be like in the autumn, and they don't know her plans. Are they afraid of getting sick from exhaustion?

"Then, I will open another acre of land. Then I will plant two acres of corn, and the remaining eight acres will be planted with soybeans, mung beans, etc."

Lin Chaodong pondered for a while and gave his answer after thinking about it.

Yue Jiuyue refused to comment. Anyway, she would not be lazy when she was still working, and she would not be able to do it for the life of her. As long as they achieved success, that would be fine.

The three sons started to open up wasteland again, then fertilized the land and planted corn and beans. It was then the Qingming Festival.

This year’s Qingming Festival is destined to be rainless.

Willow and pine branches were planted on the door frame early, and the men went to worship their ancestors. The women's life seemed to be no different from usual, and they still did what they should do.

At Yue Jiuyue's house, Yue Jiuyue and Mrs. Liu were breaking the sweet potato seedlings off the sweet potatoes. They were neatly stacking handfuls of about twenty seedlings. They were tied up with straw ropes and stacked in baskets.

Wait for it to be delivered to the county seat tomorrow and handed over to the county magistrate.
