Chapter 55: Open up wasteland and plant tomatoes and peppers

The next morning, Liu took Li Dabao with his backpack and went to the forest to collect wild vegetables and fruits and hunt.

Liu Paner was walking around the river beach.

Not long after I left, the sky was covered with dark clouds and it was raining.

Liu Paner covered her head with her hands and wanted to run under the tree, but she suddenly saw lightning and immediately stopped running toward the tree.

If you can't stand under the trees on rainy days, you will be struck by lightning.

In such weather, it rains every few days. Even if she knows how to burn bricks, without good protection, the bricks will be wet by rain.

Running back from the river beach, Liu Pan'er had already dispelled her previous thoughts.

Burning bricks is impossible.

She wants to make more money and then buy bricks from outside.

Because the nearest town market is also forty miles away, Liu Paner speculated that the money for transporting bricks may be more expensive than the money for the bricks themselves.

When Arong saw that her mother was wet, she quickly took a dry towel and handed it to her, "Mom, the weather in the south is really strange. It's like a child's face. It's clear just now. When she turned her face, she turned black and it started to rain."

Liu Paner wiped his head and said with a smile: "Yes, but it rained here and it would pass in a while. Look, the rain stopped outside."

Just as I finished speaking, the rain stopped outside and the sun came out.

Li Rong pointed to the sky and appeared a colorful rainbow, "Mom, that's a rainbow! It's so beautiful."

Li Xiaobao and Li Nan also came over to see him, showing surprise, "The rainbow is so beautiful."

It rains all day long in the south, but not every time there is a rainbow, nor is it so beautiful every time. It is like a curved semicircular arch bridge, dazzling colorful and beautiful.

Liu Pan'er looked at the mountains in the distance and had to continue to renovate land. There were so many seeds in the space, and there were always suitable for planting here.

At this time, Li Fang was preparing to make lunch, opened her pocket and screamed, "Ah? Aunt San, come and have a look. The sweet potatoes and potatoes here have sprouted. Can you still eat them?"

When Liu Paner heard this, he immediately stood up and went over to take a look, "You can still eat sweet potatoes when sprout, but potatoes cannot be eaten, it is poisonous. There are not many sweet potatoes and potatoes left, so don't eat them anymore. I'm going to open up the land and plant these."

"Mom, don't you burn bricks to build a house?" Li Rong asked. It's okay to live in such a bamboo shed in summer, but in winter, it's not possible to use a bamboo shed with air leakage on all sides.

Liu Paner smiled embarrassedly and explained, "I am not thinking carefully. Although there is soil for burning bricks here, burning bricks is too complicated. It has rained these days, and we have no place to put bricks. Once we get wet, it turns into a pile of mud. So, I plan to open up land, farm, hunt, make money in various ways, and then buy bricks and tiles to build houses."

Li Rong was stunned, "Mom, are you working very hard? I'll help you."

Liu Paner shook his head and said with a smile: "It's not hard work, just help me see An Nan and Xiaobao."

"Aunt San, Ali and I are old, we can help you open up the land." Li Fang now likes her current life very much. She has no beatings and scolding. Although she is hard, she is very happy.

"Okay, when your mother and Dabao come back, we will discuss opening up the land." Liu Pan'er smiled, "I'll go to the village chief's house to borrow iron plows now."

Since the famine was opened, the family has a hoe, shovel and sickle. Those who have not paid for the grain planting or farm tools will have to return the money they bought for farm tools and record all of them.

Liu Paner opened the bag and put six oil paper bags inside, containing vegetable seeds, local cold melons and beans.

The remaining packs were Liu Paner who unpacked the outer packaging from the space and wrapped them in oil paper. There were tomato seeds, melon seeds, goat horn honey seeds, and pepper seeds.

Liu Paner was worried that the planting would not be successful, so he didn't use up every seed and left some.

Liu Paner split several semicircular bamboo tubes, put the seeds into the semicircular bamboo tube container, poured water and soaked for seedling cultivation.

Li Fang and Li Li thought that Aunt San was great, so they learned from Aunt San and helped do something within their ability.

During lunch, Liu Paner went to Village Chief Li's house.

"Village chief, I want to borrow an iron plow to clear the land further away and plant my sweet potatoes and potatoes. That day, I spent money to buy some other seeds at the grocery store. I want to try planting them." Liu Pan'er smiled and said, "I'll try it, Aunt, do you want to plant them? If you want them, I'll give you some when there are seedlings."

Zhou Cuihua wanted it, but after all, it was bought by Liu Paner. "Then you bought it with money, it's not good for me to just take your stuff. Yuan Jia and Yuan Jia's wife, you two help to open up the land, and it's not a waste of yours."

"Mom, I still have to follow my dad to measure land!" Li Yuanjia put down his job and said embarrassedly, this is a big event in the village, how can I not participate?

After hearing this, Yuan Jia's wife quickly said, "Yuan Jia is busy. I have time, I will go and help."

"Yuan Jia and his father went to measure land, and his mother was watching the children at home. Everyone else followed him. I also went, so we also opened land and farmed land and vegetables. Others did not have iron plows, but we had it. If we don't open land now, would we wait until others had iron plows before opening land?" Zhou Cuihua said. If you want to live a good life, you must work hard.

Liu Paner wished that the village chief's house would continue to open up the land, so he nodded, "Okay, then let's go after dinner."

After having a good meal, Liu Pan'er drove the old ox at home to a farther place to clear the land.

On the way, I met a villager. Grandma Li San stared at her with small eyes and asked, "The Yuan Qing family has been opened. Where are you going?"

Liu Paner smiled, "I can't stay idle, so I go to a farther place to take a look. I used the only money left at home to buy some seeds and try planting them."

"Oh, Yuan Qing's family, you are still young and don't know much. How easy is it to grow these new things?" Grandma Li San sighed, "Look at you, you are thin. If you have this free time, it's better to have a rest! Ali and Afang are still young, you are an aunt, so you can't get along with your children."

Liu Paner was speechless when he heard this. Where did Grandma Li San see her niece with her eyes?

Li Fang retorted crisply, "Grandma San, my third aunt hasn't tried to get along with us, so I'm fine with us. Don't sow discord, my breasts are not here."

When Grandma Li San heard this, she looked like a mouse shot by a stone, and her eyes stood up, "You girl, don't you understand good and bad things? I'm good to you. Your third aunt, you don't let your children work and take you to open the land. It's really easy to open the land!"

Li Fang still wanted to say, but was pulled away by Li Li, "Don't waste time. If you say less, we can open more land."

At this time, Zhou Cuihua came and said to Grandma Li San with a smile: "This child has to work more to be filial. Grandma San, your grandson is like a treasure, how can you count on it in the future?"

Grandma Li San was unhappy and insisted on being disproportionate, "My grandson is still young, and now he works hard, and he is exhausted and can't grow taller."
