After her husband died, her parents came to force her to remarry

Chapter 237 It’s a good thing

These days, Zeng Hua and Zhang Da Nv turned over all the land in the backyard.

Jiang Xiaohe thought about it and realized that the most important thing for greenhouse vegetables is the indoor temperature. If the temperature is too high, the vegetables will not grow, and if the temperature is too low, the vegetables will not grow either.

So she also needs to think carefully about the temperature.

Zhang Fu looked at the completely renovated backyard and asked Jiang Xiaohe, "What about the grape vines?"

Jiang Xiaohe took a look and said: "Dad, you can take down all the grape racks, but leave the grape seedlings alone. We won't touch them, and they will still produce grapes next year."

Zhang Fu nodded. He had been taking care of this grape vine and taking good care of it. Especially this year, the grapes were so good that he made so much money. It was no longer just a grape vine, it was a money tree.

In order to grow crops in the greenhouse, the two families demolished the wall between their courtyards.

Jiang Xiaohe took out lime powder and sprinkled it on the ground in lines. Then he led everyone to dig trenches with hoes. In this way, a large piece of land was divided into several small pieces almost evenly.

Zeng Hua asked her: "Why do we need to divide the land into so many small plots if we can just plant them all at once?"

Jiang Xiaohe explained: "Because it is impossible for us to build a shed on such a large piece of land."

Zeng Hua seemed to understand but not quite.

Jiang Xiaohe continued, "If we divide it into pieces, we can not only plant different vegetables separately, but it will also be convenient when we build the straw shed."

Zeng Hua seemed to understand a little.

Seeing that more than one acre of land was divided into more than ten pieces by Jiang Xiaohe, Jiang Xiaohe and Zhang Fu went to the bamboo forest and cut a lot of bamboos. On both sides of each piece of land, they used bamboos to make a village, and used several bamboos in the middle. Then they put a thick bamboo on the village, and then split a bamboo into two. They passed through the middle bamboo and inserted it into the soil on both sides. Then they put two thinner bamboos in the middle and pulled all the bamboos together. This way they would be more solid. The finished product looked quite realistic.

Zeng Hua wiped his sweat and said, "It's quite tiring!"

Zhang Danniu brought some hot water and asked everyone to drink some.

Zeng Hua pointed at the bamboo chopsticks and said, "Is this really the case?"

Jiang Xiaohe also took a sip of water: "How can that be possible? We can put a layer of straw on top to keep it warm."

Zeng Hua nodded, and everyone drank some water and continued to work. It wasn't very smooth the first time, but after doing this set, the rest became much smoother.

It took about ten days to build the entire bamboo shed in the backyard.

Jiang Xiaohe looked at the greenhouse. Although her hands were cut by the bamboo, she was happy.

The villagers watched them carry bundles of bamboo home and came to ask them what they were going to do with them.

Zhang Fu smiled and said, "I didn't do anything, just made up some stuff."

Everyone pursed their lips, knowing that he didn't want to say what kind of thing required so much bamboo to weave.

Since no result can be obtained from the question, no one will ask anymore.

Wang Qiuxia and Zeng Hua took out all the vegetable seeds in their home. Jiang Xiaohe took a look and found that the most common ones were beans, peppers and pumpkins.

Let Wang Qiuxia plant two greenhouses like she did.

Zeng Hua took some loofah seeds and eggplant seeds and planted them all.

She also took Zhang Da Nv to the edge of the field to dig up a lot of leeks and onions and planted them next to these vegetables.

In the end, some sheds were left empty and common beets, lettuce, etc. were planted. In total, there were about ten varieties.

Jiang Xiaohe led everyone to cover the greenhouse with the straw woven by Zhang Fu.

Zeng Hua looked at him and said, "Can this really work?"

Jiang Xiaohe smiled: "Second Aunt, we have come this far, whether it can succeed or not depends on God's will!"

Zeng Hua nodded. In total, it took more than a month to complete the greenhouse. The weather was getting so cold that he had to wear a coat.

Jiang Xiaohe said to Zhang Fu: "Dad, I'll need you to worry more about me in the days ahead."

Zhang Fu waved his hand and said, "It's nothing to worry about. For us farmers, we just like doing these farm work. If this is really successful, I will earn money steadily."

Jiang Xiaohe couldn't help but smile.

Then he asked, "Dad, have you found out where to buy a horse during this time?"

Zhang Fu shook his head as he ate: "No, I asked a lot of people, but they didn't find any place that sells horses. I'm afraid it's only in the county."

Yes, after all, the town is not a particularly large place, and is surrounded by mostly farmers. If people want to buy an animal to pull a cart, a cow is the first choice.

"Okay, I'll go find out for myself later."

Zhang Fu nodded.

After staying in the village for such a long time, Jiang Xiaohe should go to the shops in town to have a look.

The next morning, Jiang Xiaohe got up at dawn. The weather was very cold, and her hands and feet were frozen.

She put on the new cotton-padded jacket that Wang Qiuxia made for her, and simply tied her hair into a bun, securing it with a silver hairpin.

"Mom, what are you doing? It smells so good."

Wang Qiuxia smiled slightly: "I knew you were going to town, so I got up early to make some buns."

"Why does it smell like leeks?"

"I knew you loved to eat!"

"Tomorrow, will my aunt arrange for someone to go to my second aunt's house to get engaged?"

"That's right. If you don't come back today, buy some meat tomorrow. If you come back, bring some back today."

Jiang Xiaohe understood, smiled and nodded, quickly washed up, had breakfast and prepared to leave.

Wang Qiuxia put two more warm eggs in her bag, and took out the gloves and scarf she made to wrap them for her, and reminded her: "Driving a bullock cart is not like walking. It's cold. Be careful to blow the air out of your face and walk slowly."

Jiang Xiaohe smiled and nodded: "I understand, mother."

After saying that, he got on the ox cart and drove towards the town.

When they arrived in the town, the waiter from the store saw her ox cart and hurried over, took the ox and tied it to the backyard along the alley.

Sun Gui also came out to greet him. Jiang Xiaohe took off her gloves and scarf and asked him, "How is business these days?"

Sun Gui quickly took out the account book: "The account books are all here. Take a look. Since the beginning of autumn, business has been very good. Now that winter has arrived, business is even better."

Jiang Xiaohe nodded, took a quick look, and called Sun Gui over: "Buy two sets of winter clothes for each of the shop assistants, but the colors and styles must be the same."

Sun Gui nodded: "I'll do it when I'm free in the afternoon."

Then he said, "Madam, Boss Meng came a few times and said he wanted to see you for something."

"Okay, I see."

Jiang Xiaohe originally wanted to wait until the afternoon to find Meng Hetang, but she never expected that Meng Hetang would come over at noon.

"Oh, sister, I finally met you."

Jiang Xiaohe had just collected the customer's money and said with a smile, "I said I would go to see Brother Meng when I was free in the afternoon."

"Brother Meng is sensible enough to come to my house on his own initiative." He said with a hearty laugh.

"I don't know, Brother Meng, what do you want from me?"

Meng Hetang smiled: "What could it be? Of course it's a good thing!"
