Chapter 56 Planting Strawberries

Xu Dong couldn't help but pout. Anyway, this is how his life will be. At most, he can only stay in the power company. No more. Read М

"Mom, didn't Dongzi become the team leader? There is no rush. It's like this in state-owned enterprises. You have to be promoted step by step." Yang Lina advised Xu's mother.

"What can a team leader manage? Unless he can be promoted to a section chief, the section chief can be considered a cadre."

Xu's mother is not a fool. She has already found out the twists and turns in the power company and knows the value of the position of section chief.

"People should be content with what they have!" Someone said with great sorrow.

As a result, he received two pairs of big white eyes, which were white and scary.

...

Three days later, Wang Xiujuan came to the courtyard with a large bag of strawberry seedlings. Mark didn't react at all when he saw her because they were all ripe.

"Old Wang, thank you for the glass." Aunt Xu said gratefully.

Wang Xiujuan put down the bag in her hand and said politely: "What are you thanking? Nana sends me freshly picked vegetables every now and then. Even if I want to thank you, I should thank your family."

"Okay, okay, considering the relationship between our two families, it is really too polite to say 'thank you'. No one is allowed to mention it in the future." Aunt Xu said seriously.

"That's right. Only when there is give and take can we live long." Wang Xiujuan has always seen through the interpersonal relationship.

Yang Lina came out with Xiaobao in her arms. When she saw Wang Xiujuan, she stepped forward to greet her:

"Good morning, Aunt Wang!"

Aunt Xu briefly explained the purpose of Wang Xiujuan's visit. Yang Lina asked curiously: "Didn't you say it would take another week? How come it's ready so soon?"

Wang Xiujuan pinched Xiaobao's tender face and explained with a smile:

"It's almost done. The conditions for raising seedlings over my side are not very good. It's better to plant them early!"

"Then I'll help you plant them together." Yang Lina said eagerly.

"Okay, your greenhouse is so advanced, I really don't understand it."

"I'll teach you, it's actually very simple."

Yang Lina handed Xiaobao to Xu Ma, and then she and Wang Xiujuan plunged into the vegetable garden. Both of them are gardening enthusiasts, and they are like-minded.

"Nana, strawberries like light, why not choose the middle piece of land?" Wang Xiujuan suggested.

Looking at the less than ten square meters of land in front of her, Yang Lina was a little stunned: "Isn't this piece of land a little small? Is it enough?"

"Enough, I raised about 100 seedlings this time, and this piece of land is just right."

"Then listen to you." Yang Lina agreed.

Next, the two began to transplant the strawberry seedlings. The spacing should not be too close, and 10 centimeters between each plant is enough.

In less than half an hour, all the strawberry seedlings were transplanted. Yang Lina suddenly slapped her head:

"I almost forgot to ask, Aunt Wang, what kind of strawberry is this?"

"Xingdu No. 3, I got it from an old acquaintance. It has large fruits, sweet taste, high yield, and rich fragrance. It is especially suitable for the elderly and children." Wang Xiujuan knew everything.

"Can you make strawberry jam?"

When Yang Lina was pregnant with triplets, she learned how to make strawberry jam by watching short videos, and there was no shortage of rock sugar and honey at home, so she thought of this idea all of a sudden.

"Yes, why not!" Wang Xiujuan smiled and said, "When it's done, remember to give me a bottle. Spreading it on bread is the most appetizing."

"What's the most appetizing?"

Mother Xu just came in with two bowls of mung bean soup and asked curiously.

"Mom, we're talking about strawberry jam!" Yang Lina explained.

"There's no strawberry yet, and you two are thinking of making sauce! Take a break, I made mung bean soup, drink it while it's cool."

Yang Lina took the bowl: "Thank you, Mom!"

Xu Ma handed another bowl to Wang Xiujuan, and after the two finished drinking the mung bean soup, they left with the bowls.

Next, it was the turn to water the strawberry seedlings. Yang Lina pointed to the computer and introduced:

"Auntie Wang, you see, the computer has captured the strawberry seedlings through the camera. We just need to click this 'auto' button, and we don't have to worry about the next thing."

"Then hurry up!" Wang Xiujuan urged.

Yang Lina tapped the computer screen with her finger, and a "drip" prompt sound rang in the greenhouse.

"Water is coming out!" Wang Xiujuan pointed to the dripper on the ground and said.

Yang Lina nodded and said, "This drip irrigation is really water-saving."

"Nana, are there any other functions?"

"Yes, it will automatically control the temperature at night. If the soil lacks nutrients, the irrigation system will automatically add nutrient solution, and the light intensity can also be adjusted automatically."

"Where did you buy the nutrient solution? Online?" Wang Xiujuan asked.

"No, I bought it from the company that built the flower house. The price is not expensive. Two thousand yuan can buy dozens of barrels, which is enough for one or two years." Yang Lina stroked her hair and replied.

Wang Xiujuan was a little surprised: "They, who build flower houses, are selling this thing?"

"Yes, I also heard from their employees that their company built a nutrient solution production plant with an area of ​​hundreds of acres in the suburbs of Yanbei, and the business is said to be very hot."

"It's really strange every year!" Wang Xiujuan frowned unconsciously.

After planting strawberries, it was almost time for dinner. Wang Xiujuan was alone at the moment, so Xu Ma forced her to stay.

Dinner consisted of five dishes and one soup, with both meat and vegetables. Although it was not particularly sumptuous, it was much better than what most families have.

Aunt Xu poured Wang Xiujuan a cup of soy milk and asked casually:

"Old Wang, where has Zheng Yan been recently? Why haven't I seen her for a long time?"

"She went back to her own home. Zhang Kai is sick and she is worried, so she has to stay and take care of him personally." Wang Xiujuan sighed.

"Why is she sick? Is it serious?"

Wang Xiujuan shook her head: "I went back to see him. It's not a big problem. It's mainly fatigue. It should be fine after a few days of rest."

"Is the district chief so busy at work?" Xu Dong asked curiously.

"There are a lot of things this year, and it must be busier than in previous years." Wang Xiujuan remembered her son's warning and didn't want to talk more.

"I'm glad you're fine! Old Wang, come and try this braised fish. I got it with great difficulty." Xu's mother called.

Wang Xiujuan picked up a piece of fish, "Well, it's really good, the heat is just right."

"If you like it...eat more." Xu's mother said enthusiastically.

"Okay, I can do it myself."

Everyone ate and talked, and somehow the topic turned to the super difficult problem of "how to eat meat".

"Xiao Xu, do you still have meat dishes in the cafeteria of your power company?" Wang Xiujuan asked.

"Pork has been gone for a long time, and now even fish is only available every three or five days." Xu Dong said with a bitter face.

"Old Wang, what about your family, can you still buy internal meat now?" Xu's mother asked.

Wang Xiujuan shook her head: "The supply was cut off last month."

"Did all the pigs in Daxia die?" Xu's mother sighed.

Wang Xiujuan thought for a while and said: "It's not that there is no meat on the market now. The key is to find the right place."

"What place?"

Yang Lina was very interested. Eating bacon every day at home is not good for the body, especially for children. They are growing up and need to eat more fresh meat.

"Panjiayuan."
