Chapter 172: Renovation of barren hills【2】

Song Xi will not force every child to help her with work. After all, some patriarchal families treat boys as treasures.

Let them do some work, and the grandparents at home will die.

But if they are voluntary, they have no reason to make 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.

"Me too."

"I do."

All the students raised their hands high, some even stood up and raised their hands.

"Okay, I get it, I will send it to everyone when the vegetables we grow are ready to eat, so everyone go out with me now!"

Song Xi led forty students from the bamboo fence behind the school to the junction of the sandy land and the barren hill.

Song Xi stood on a higher ground and said, "We don't need to trim the land on the mountain, 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, before distributing the rapeseed to everyone.

The more precious vegetable seeds are given to students over the age of ten, while the seeds of wild vegetables are given to students under the age of ten.

Because almost all wild vegetables have more than 10,000 seeds, it’s okay to waste some, and there are not so many vegetable seeds.

Song Xi arranged for Xu Bing and Mo Jingxiang to keep an eye on everyone, so as not to let the young children make trouble, while she went to the kitchen to prepare water.

She took out the watering can for planting flowers from the supermarket, filled it with water, and followed everyone to water the ground.

Because this watering can is used for planting flowers, the impact of the water is not strong, so you don’t have to worry about the seeds being washed out. If you pour water from the spiritual spring today, they will germinate tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.

In a few days, these two withered and yellow barren mountains will be able to glow with new vitality.

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. He was curious and called Xu Bing, "Xu Bing, do you know what kind of tree this is?" ?"

"Mr. Song Xi, this looks like planting seedling porridge, but it also looks like wheat porridge, but these two kinds of piaozi are similar in size and can be eaten." Xu Bing explained.

Paozi?

That is, soaking in March and April, raspberry and raspberry, there are many types, but they are all about the same length, and they are all edible.

Song Xi also asked Zhou Yi to dig some raspberry seedlings for her before. The raspberry seedlings were planted in the yard before, but she dug some and put them in the supermarket.

Song Xi looked at other places and found that there were quite a lot of these seedlings, so he said to Xu Bing, "Xu Bing, can you help me dig this seedling? tree."

Xu Bing was stunned for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

He knew that if he didn't collect money, it would be impossible for Song Xi to let him work, because Song Xi didn't like to owe others anything.

"Then be careful not to **** your hands." Song Xi handed Xu Bing a small green lacquer gardening shovel, and then went to water the spiritual spring.

She used these two barren hills to grow vegetables, so naturally she didn't want any miscellaneous things to compete with vegetables for nutrients.

After all, vegetables are more important. Besides, she doesn't want to destroy Paozi Miaomiao, she just wants to change it to a suitable place!

When get out of class time came, Song Xi told everyone to go home for dinner.

The unplanted rapeseeds are put on the podium, and they will be planted in the afternoon.

And she also went home to cook. She didn't expect Zhou Yi to come back so early today, and she was already cooking at home.

Zhou Yi saw that Song Xi's clothes had become dusty, and he was a little worried, "Daughter-in-law, what did you do this morning?"

"I didn't do anything, 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 the two mountains are just like that. It's really a pity to look at it."

Song Xi saw that Zhou Yi was already cooking, so he didn't bother.

Instead, she put the stir-fried sausage in the supermarket last time, and put it 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, and Zhou Yi only thought that Song Xi got it from the small garden (the roof of the supermarket), so he didn't ask so much. I've seen them all.

The places Zhou Yi goes to every day are shelducks, rabbit breeding areas, greenhouses, and bathing tents. As for other places, he really hasn't studied them.

Since she still needs to go up the mountain to grow vegetables in the afternoon, Song Xi didn't change her clothes.

She directly wiped off the dust on 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 where people could go. After planting, Song Xi asked everyone to go home, and she slowly watered the mountains.

"Teacher Song Xi."

Suddenly heard Xu Bing's voice, Song Xi looked back and saw Xu Bing walking towards this side carrying a bundle of slender 'twigs'.

After a closer look, they are all rooted paozi seedlings, but I am not sure which species they are.

After all, white scallions, berries, cranberries, raspberries, raspberries, and chrysanthemums are all similar in appearance.

Only white currant has leaves that look like strawberries, and fruits that look like white strawberries, while others not only have similar fruits, but even the plants are indistinguishable.

"Xu Bing, you are great. You have helped me dig so much. Thank you. I will give you money tomorrow, is that okay?" Song Xi stood up, took the sapling from Xu Bing's hand, and praised Fan.

She couldn't tell how many there were, she could only find out when she went back at night and counted them.

Students, only with more praise and appreciation can they have more motivation to study.

She is just an ordinary person. She is not sure whether these students can go to the city to 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, then I'll go home first."

"Okay, be careful when you go down the mountain." Song Xi put the saplings aside, then sprayed water, and when Xu Bing was completely out of sight, she put the bunch of saplings directly into the supermarket. If you count, you have to wait until you go home to count.

When Song Xi returned home after spraying the water, he saw Zhou Yizheng and Zhou Ping weighing potato chips in the yard. In this era, there are no advanced scales like those in modern times. The scales for weighing grain are very large and require two people to operate together.

"Brother Yi, have you weighed it? How many catties of potato chips are there?" Song Xi came to the well and asked while washing his hands.

"A total of two hundred and sixty catties." Zhou Yi said.

Song Xi listened, and nodded thoughtfully, "Forty percent is not bad, much higher than I imagined."
