Song Xi would not force every child to help him with work. After all, some families favor sons over daughters and regard boys as their precious eggs.
Let them do some work, and the grandparents at home will die.
But if it was their choice, they would have no reason to cause trouble.
"Teacher Song Xi, I am willing." Several students who had close contacts with Song Xi raised their hands as soon as Song Xi finished speaking.
"I do too."
"I do."
All the students raised their hands high, and some of the younger ones even stood up and raised their hands.
"Okay, I understand. When the vegetables we grow are ready to be eaten, I will distribute them to everyone. Now everyone, please go out with me!"
Song Xi led forty students from the bamboo fence behind the school to the junction of the sandy land and the barren mountains.
Song Xi stood on a higher ground and said, "We don't need to plow the land on the mountain. We can just poke a small hole with a tree stick and bury the seeds shallowly."
Song Xi first divided the barren hills into rectangular shapes, like terraced fields, and then distributed the rapeseeds to everyone.
The more precious vegetable seeds are given to students over ten years old, while wild vegetable seeds are given to students under ten years old.
Because the seeds of wild vegetables almost exceed 10,000, it’s okay even if some are wasted. There aren’t that many vegetable seeds.
Song Xi arranged for Xu Bing and Mo Jingxiang to keep an eye on everyone and prevent the younger children from causing trouble, while she went to the stove to prepare water.
She took out a watering can for planting flowers from the supermarket, filled it with water, and then went over to water the ground after everyone else.
Because this watering can is used for planting flowers, the impact of the water is not great, so there is no need to worry about the seeds being flushed out. If you water the seeds with Lingquan water today, they will sprout tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.
In a few days, these two withered and barren mountains will be rejuvenated.
There are also some weeds and plants on the barren mountain, but they are very sparse. When Song Xi was watering, he found a small sapling with small thorns. Feeling curious, he called Xu Bing, "Xu Bing, do you know what kind of tree this is?"
?"
"Teacher Song Xi, this one looks like rice-planted paozi, but it also looks like wheat paozi, but these two types of paozi look similar and can be eaten," Xu Bing explained.
Paozi?
In other words, there are many types of raspberries and raspberries, but they all look the same and are edible.
Song Xi also asked Zhou Yi to dig up some raspberry seedlings for her before. Before, the raspberry seedlings were planted in the yard, but later she dug some and put them in the supermarket.
Song Xi looked elsewhere and found that there were quite a lot of these seedlings, so she said to Xu Bing, "Xu Bing, can you help me dig up these seedlings? I'll give you a penny for each."
tree."
Xu Bing was stunned for a moment, then nodded in agreement.
He knew that if he didn't charge money, Song Xi wouldn't be able to let him work, because Song Xi didn't like to owe others anything.
"Then be careful with the pricks, don't prick your hands." Song Xi handed a green paint gardening spade to Xu Bing, and then went to water the spiritual spring.
She uses these two barren hills to grow vegetables, so naturally she doesn't want miscellaneous things to compete with the vegetables for nutrients.
After all, vegetables are more important. Besides, she doesn’t want to destroy the Paozi seedlings, she just wants to move them to a suitable place!
When get out of class was over, Song Xi asked everyone to go home for dinner.
Put the unfinished rapeseed on the podium and plant it again in the afternoon.
And she also went home to cook. Unexpectedly, Zhou Yi came back so early today and was already cooking at home.
Seeing that Song Xi's clothes were turning gray, Zhou Yi was a little worried, "Daughter-in-law, what did you do this morning?"
"I didn't do much. I just took the children to the barren hills behind to deal with some weeds, look at the terrain, and study what to plant. Otherwise, it would be a pity to have these two mountains just there."
Song Xi saw that Zhou Yi was already cooking, so she didn't interfere.
Instead, she put the dry-fried sausages that were prepared last time and put them in the supermarket in a lard basin, which was enough for her and Zhou Yi to eat two meals.
Song Xi didn't say that he got it from the supermarket. Zhou Yi only thought that Song Xi got it from the small garden (the roof of the supermarket), so he didn't ask too much. After all, the small garden is such a large area, and he didn't have every corner.
Have visited them all.
The places Zhou Yi goes to every day are the shelduck, rabbit breeding area, flower house and bathing tent. As for other places, he has never studied them.
Since she still had to go up the mountain to plant vegetables in the afternoon, Song Xi didn't change clothes.
She simply wiped the dust off her body with an old towel, washed her hands and face, and went to the kitchen to eat.
Song Xi and her students spent a day planting seeds in the two barren mountains wherever people could go. After planting, Song Xi sent everyone home while she slowly watered the mountains.
"Teacher Song Xi."
Suddenly hearing Xu Bing's voice, Song Xi looked back and saw Xu Bing walking towards here carrying a bundle of slender branches.
If you look closely, you can see that they are all rooted seedlings, but I'm not sure which species they are.
After all, white berries, strawberries, raspberries, raspberries, raspberries, and yellow berries all look similar to each other.
Only Bletilla leaves look like strawberries, and the fruits also look like white strawberries. Not only do the fruits of the others look similar, but even the plants are indistinguishable.
"Xu Bing, you are great. You dug so much for me. Thank you. I will give you money tomorrow, okay?" Song Xi stood up, took the sapling from Xu Bing's hand, and praised her.
Fan.
She couldn't tell how many there were, so she could only find out when she went back at night to count them.
As for students, only by praising and appreciating them more will they be more motivated to learn.
She is just an ordinary person. She is not sure whether these students can go to the city and live a good life in the future, but she still hopes that the children can live a better life.
Hearing the teacher say thank you to him, Xu Bing was a little embarrassed and his ears turned red quietly, "Teacher Song Xi, I'll go home first."
"Okay, be careful when you go down the mountain." Song Xi put the saplings aside and sprayed water. When Xu Bing's figure was completely invisible, she took the bundle of saplings directly into the supermarket. As for
If you want to count, you have to wait until you get home.
When Song Xi returned home after spraying water, she saw Zhou Yizheng and Zhou Ping weighing potato chips in the yard. In this era, there were no modern high-end scales. The scales for weighing grains were very large and required two people to operate them together.
"Yi Ge, have you weighed it? How many kilograms of potato chips are there in total?" Song Xi came to the well and asked while washing her hands.
"There are two hundred and sixty kilograms in total." Zhou Yi said.
Song Xi listened and nodded thoughtfully, "The ratio of 40% is pretty good, much higher than I expected."
