Seeing that his parents were serious, Qin Shiou rolled up his trouser legs and looked aching.
When his parents sent him out to college, they didn't want him to go home to grow crops. In the end, he not only went to college but also went abroad, but also became a wealthy person with a net worth of 1 billion Canadian dollars. In the end, he still had to deal with farming.
Winnie squatted down to help Qin Shiou tidy up her trousers and said, "Look at your expression, just planting some crops, it's not tiring. Why are you so painful and happy? Isn't it great to make your parents happy?"
Qin Shiou said with a bitter face: "Dear, you don't know that you are not tired when planting crops, but you will be very tired after work."
He was not a very hard-working person, otherwise he would not have come to say goodbye to the island, a paradise, and then he would be calm. Some farm work in childhood and youth made him remember it deeply, weeding wheat fields and giving corn pesticides.
Standing in front of the cultivated farmland, he vaguely remembered the horror of being dominated by farm work many years ago.
What's abominable thing is that a group of fishermen who came to help with the work drove the weeder and the plower to step on the accelerator and reclaimed a large area of farmland. Qin Shiou originally wanted to plant one or two acres, but now it seems to have 10 or 20 acres.
"Xuete, I said why did you build such a large piece of open space?" Qin Daren shouted crazy.
The sea monster laughed and said, "There are fewer people in our lives, so we didn't spend money on eating vegetables last year. Is it not enough to spend money on eating food this year?"
The other fishermen also laughed happily, and the bull showed a glad expression and said, "Thank God, I met the fishing owner who had food and accommodation for the first time. Boss is a good person, and I love him so much."
Qin Shiou had to laugh, in fact, he was quite happy. Winnie thought he had figured it out, but now he was thinking about how to arrange the fishermen to work, as for him, don't want me to do it
It is not difficult to grow crops, everything is mechanized. Qin Shiou rolled up his trousers and followed his parents to pick up stones and smashed large pieces of soil. All the rest was handed over to the machine, and finally the plane was responsible for the pesticide sprinkling.
Qin's father walked in the field and shook his head and said, "It's too close to the sea. There is not much soil in the field. Just this layer. You see, it's a little deeper and it's sand. It seems that the harvest will not be very good."
Qin Shiou said: "Anyway, how much can you eat by yourself?"
Even if you eat too much, you won’t be afraid. With the energy of the sea god, you will have a good harvest whenever you come.
When they started sowing, Qin Shiou would not have the effect. Winnie pulled him to find Miranda's family, who were growing pumpkins.
This year on Victoria Day, the important task of fishing grounds is to plant pumpkins.
Qin Shiou has never been at the fishing ground seriously after coming to the fishing ground. This is a very important festival. Two years ago, it was because there were few people in the fishing ground and he had no family. Last year, Winnie got pregnant. He was afraid that he would scare Winnie.
Halloween in Newfoundland is about telling ghost stories and creating a horror atmosphere. Winnie was at the critical moment of pregnancy at that time, and Qin Shiou dared not let her have any surprises.
Therefore, we must have a good time for Halloween this year, and the iconic item of Halloween is pumpkin. Now every household in the town is busy growing pumpkins.
Pumpkin seeds are ready-made and can be found at home by fishermen. Qin Shiou chose not to plant ordinary pumpkins, but large pumpkins. As the name suggests, a pumpkin that can grow very large.
This pumpkin was cultivated in the United States at the end of the last century. It is rich in nutrients and contains starch, protein, carotene, vitamin B, vitamins, calcium, phosphorus and other ingredients. It not only has high edible value, but also has a dietary therapeutic effect that cannot be ignored.
Of course, for fishing grounds, its value is to be big and beautiful, and then used to make pumpkin lanterns.
Large pumpkins do not strictly require soil. Sand, sandy loam and loam can grow. The most common fishing grounds are sandy loam, which is very suitable for growing pumpkins.
There are many open spaces in the fishing ground, and large pumpkins must be planted. Therefore, the ground-climbing cultivation technology is used. The tread cultivation technology saves space, but super large pumpkins will not grow, otherwise vines or wooden racks will be pulled.
This time, the fishermen didn't need to take action. Mario and Miranda's family had grown pumpkins and could do it themselves. Qin Shiou and Winnie went over and took action, and the key was to participate.
Planting pumpkins can be cultivated and transplanted, or they can be planted live, that is, they directly plant the seeds in the ground and let them grow by themselves. Now it is too late to raise seedlings, so they choose to live.
The live broadcast is more tiring, because it requires manual holes to be dug, and two or three seeds are sown normally in each hole. Mario looked at the little yellow rats staring at each other and said worriedly: "Why don't we put a few more seeds, otherwise what if these little robbers eat them all up?"
Once the pumpkin is short of seedlings, it is very difficult to clean up. The seedlings can be replenished in the later stage, but due to the inconsistent seedling growth time, it is not conducive to field management and operation.
Winnie said unhappily: "This is not a little robber, this is also a child from the fishing ground. They won't steal anything."
As she said that, she squatted down and stretched out her hand. The little yellow mice ran over happily, kept wandering around her, stretching out her pink tongue to lick the back of her palms and hands. This was one of the ways for the little guys in the fishing ground to express their feelings.
Mario smiled, "But look, they squat here and watch us sow. You should know that pumpkin seeds are the favorite food of weeds."
"They are waiting for help," said Winnie.
Mario and Miranda laughed, and Winnie dug a hole as big as a fist on the ground with a small shovel, five or six centimeters deep. The little yellow rats surrounded her and watched carefully. After she dug about ten holes in a row, they knew what to do.
Then, Winnie measured the traces of digging with a shovel. Because it was a method of crawling and planting, the caves should not be too close. It was about four meters away. Winnie dug them with a shovel across eight steps.
The little yellow rat family started working. They each were responsible for a cave, and their little claws were quickly sucking out. In just ten seconds, a cave that was the same as Winnie's previous demonstration was very round, just like a compass was drawn.
The smiles on Mario and others' faces froze, full of disbelief. Brother-in-law Armand glanced straight and kept muttering incredible. God, these are so amazing things.
After digging more than a hundred caves in a row, the little yellow mice felt a little tired and stopped. These caves were enough. Mario and others had already dug more than fifty caves in front. Winnie distributed the remaining pumpkin seeds to the little yellow mice as a reward.
After eating the pumpkin seeds given by Winnie, the little yellow mice saw that they didn't have to dig holes, so they shook their big tails and jumped away from here, not even looking at the pumpkin seeds buried in the ground.
Winnie spread her hands to her parents and asked jokingly: "Little robber, um, is this the little robber?"
Mario smiled bitterly: "No, I was wrong, this is a little elf, my dear." It will be continued
