"You also know the situation of my family. The harvest this year is not good, and we even have to ensure self-sufficiency. There is nothing to be sold at the market." The farmer explained: "The money for buying wine is exchanged for rice that I don't have much rice, so we can only drink the porridge every meal."

"That shouldn't be." Zhang Xi talked about the matter. There was not only a farmer in this family, but also a peasant woman.

Maybe drinking will bring great comfort to the farmer personally, allowing him to sleep better on difficult nights that are difficult to sleep.

But what is reduced is the quality of life of the entire family.

The peasant woman does a lot of work every day when she goes out early and comes back late. She should have a portion of her food. It is not necessary to let her suffer with her for her own selfishness.

Because of Yao Yu's relationship, Zhang Xi will be slightly biased when considering the problem now.

He had not done well before and did not do all the responsibilities that a man should fulfill, so he would have some directional awareness.

"Well, I know, so I accept the punishment." The farmer of course realized his mistake. He also lifted up his own face, revealing the marks left by the feather duster on his back, with a bitter look on his face.

"If you want to drink, I can help you make a drink." Zhang Xi understood this time, no wonder the peasant woman had never handled this matter in front of him, no wonder the peasant woman seemed to follow everything. It turns out that this family status was really as he saw.

"I dare not, making wine requires food. Originally, there was not much grain harvest this year. Unless the Gods give you a good harvest next year, I would have to continue drinking porridge next year." The farmer shook his head, and he also knew that he could not let the peasant woman suffer with him for his own selfish desires.

"What are you two muttering? Who, aren't you going to work to pay off your debts? Why don't you clean up and go out to farm with us!" The peasant woman was not polite and did not treat Zhang Xi as a guest at all.

She naturally acted as a reminder to Zhang Xi, who had no idea and had not given them money to eat, live and drink for free.

"Okay." The farmer responded immediately.

"Have you finished eating?" Zhang Xi looked at the small and half of the bowl of porridge left in the farmer's bowl and asked.

"Now." The farmer quickly drank the better porridge and handed the bowl to Zhang Xi.

Zhang Xi held the pot and bowl, finished brushing it quickly, took the farm tools assigned to him by the farmer, and went to the vegetable field together.

After walking for a while, the peasant woman stopped, and without saying much, she started to work hard by herself.

Zhang Xi looked at the location of the vegetable field and asked the farmer: "How could you regain the vegetable field here?"

"It's flat here, don't you plant it? Where can I plant it?" the farmer said naturally.

Zhang Xi pointed to the slope next to him and said, "That piece is obviously much more fertile. There will be no water accumulation on rainy days. When the weather is heavy, it will be guaranteed that it will be at least half a day without direct sunlight."

"There are so many stones over there and the weeds are so deep, it is very troublesome to cultivate them!" The farmer shook his head and refused to agree.

"Let's deal with this place first." Zhang Xi looked at the peasant women and the others who chose the grassland on the vegetable fields on the flat ground at the bottom of the valley and on the small hillside. Most of the vegetable fields should be chosen on the flat ground.

The difference is that due to geographical location issues, the flat ground is slightly less, and it appears on the top of the slope and the bottom of the valley.

It seems that these two places will be easy to plant and will be much easier to handle.

But there will be problems.

On the top of the slope, the area of ​​heat is too large. As long as it is daytime, it will be sunbathing all the time. The temperature difference between day and night here will be relatively large, either there will be heavy rainfall or very little rainfall. In this way, the vegetable fields on the top of the slope will be much lack of moisture, and the vegetable fields on the bottom of the slope will sometimes have relatively humid water accumulation.

Why does Zhang Xi think that the slope is good? First of all, the time for receiving light will be relatively reasonable. Even when it is hot, it will be alleviated without directly receiving yang.

There is no fear of heavy rainfall. More water will flow downwards. The flowing rainwater can also help loosen the land, drive the circulation of some nutrients in the land, and be more conducive to the growth of plants. The lush weeds on the slope are the best proof.

However, the slope has not been reclaimed, and the peasants have already put the vegetable fields on the top and bottom of the slope. The best way is not to move, as moving will cause all their plantings to be greatly wasted.

"Open a drainage ditch at the bottom of the slope, and set up a sunshade in one direction on the top of the slope." Zhang Xi quickly made a plan.

He has traveled to many farmlands, including some villages that are very good at planting. He has seen and learned something. In addition, Yu Tianzong and others have had their own time, so it would not be too difficult to do it.

It was almost noon when the peasant woman went back to cook.

"What are you doing? Please help loosen the soil and fertilize it, don't do some useless work." When the peasant woman came over with food, she found Zhang Xi digging a drainage ditches. She looked at the sunshade of the vegetable field on the top of the slope and made of some local ingredients, branches, banana leaves, etc. When she saw that there was not much soil loose and the fertilizer left there, she couldn't help but get angry.

Even if you are busy all the time and are not sitting right, it is useless and there is no big difference between being lazy.

"Believe me, it will be effective within a month." Zhang Xi said confidently.

It hasn't rained for several days. When he was digging a drainage ditch at the bottom of the valley, he found that many of the vegetable roots were still soaked in the water, and the soil was very sparse.

Most of the vegetables on the top of the slope have shown signs of drying up.

Not only should they be shaded and drained, but they should also be distinguished from the degree of fertilization and loosening of soil.

There is almost no need to apply additional fertilization below, and wait for the drainage ditches to drain the excess water, so that the right water is suitable for their growth.

"I punish myself not to eat at noon."

Worried that it would make the peasant woman unhappy, Zhang Xi took the initiative to say.

The farmer hurriedly helped Zhang Xiyuandao and brought the rice basket over and mentioned it to Zhang Xi: "Eat, you have to eat, I will punish you to loosen the soil and pour all the fertilizer within today."

"Don't worry, I will help you." After the peasant woman returned, the farmer blinked at Zhang Xi.

It was very sunny at noon. The farmer waved to Zhang Xi after making a while and said, "Come on, take a break and it's not too late to wait until the sun passes."

"It's okay, you can rest first, I'll get the one below first." Zhang Xi said as she headed to the bottom of the slope.

Rest, it is already considered a rest while eating.

This workload would not make him need a lunch break.

If he hadn't recovered completely, he would have carried some weight on his own.
