Farmer's eldest sister becomes rich

Chapter 393 1 Family Turning Fertile Soil

"Miss, you know that Brother Daniu and Brother Ale are always restless. After you and the young master left, they went to the back mountain with baskets on their backs and machetes in their hands."

An Yue smiled with relief: "Yes, they have always been so hardworking and never complaining."

Sister-in-law Meng Xiuer handed over the firewood and echoed, "That's right! They are the ones who always do the dirty and tiring work at home."

The words in the kitchen had just fallen.

Da Niu, A'er, grandmother, and aunt-in-law, each of them returned carrying a basket full of fern and dead leaves.

Da Niu and A'er also carried two large bundles of dry branches as firewood.

They placed the firewood on their shoulders on the ground in the yard and gently put down the backpacks on their backs.

An Yue walked under the eaves and helped hold the backpack.

She said with a smile: "You two can't work so hard all day long! If you get tired, it won't be worth it!"

After putting the backpack away, Ale stood up, wiped the sweat off his face and said, "Don't worry, miss! We are strong and healthy, and we are not tired at all."

The big bull at the side also echoed: "Yes, I...I, the big bull, am not tired either."

Seeing them like this, An Yue couldn't help but shook her head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry: "You always say you're not tired. Alas! I really can't do anything about you."

"No more words, just eat more food later."

Ale scratched his head embarrassedly and said, "Hehe, it's because we both didn't skip any meals that I thought we should work more."

An Yue looked at them lovingly and said, "Okay, okay, anyway, it's because you are in good health and can eat well."

At this time, lunch had already been prepared in the kitchen.

Chunzhi walked out of the kitchen carrying the freshly cooked dishes and shouted, "Everyone, wash your hands and get ready for lunch."

"okay!"

After saying this, Ale happily went to the bluestone slab to wash it.

Soon, the family sat together to enjoy lunch.

......

After lunch.

An Yue recalled the fertile soil that the family had piled up on the back slope a month ago.

She planned to wake up during the afternoon nap and lead them to the back slope to carefully check the compost pile.

So, while everyone was still asleep, she said to Daniu and Ale, "Daniu, Ale, when you wake up, carry your hoes and follow me to the back slope to check on our composting."

The whole family was very curious about composting.

My aunt stood at the door of the kitchen and said, "Yueyue, I want to go and take a look, too."

Then, Chunzhi also said, "Miss, Chunzhi also wants to go and see it."

An Yue smiled and looked at everyone, and said, "Okay, okay, this compost was made by everyone together, so let's go and see it together!"

After seeing An Yue agreed, everyone went back to their rooms for lunch.

Grandmother Zhou rolled her eyes at her daughter-in-law Zhang and said, "Why are you meddling in this?"

"Mom, do you know what it means if Yueyue's composting is successful this time?"

Zhou didn't say anything and just concentrated on tidying up the place where she would sleep.

Zhang asked and answered herself: "If Yueyue's composting is successful this time, it really means that our family will have a bumper corn harvest!"

The more Zhang spoke, the more excited he became, and the more he talked, the more he spoke.

After she lay down on the bed, she continued, "Now that we have a lot of land and a lot of corn at home, if Yueyue's method works, we won't be hungry in winter."

As he said this, he became happier the more he thought about it: "Tsk tsk tsk, oh my... it feels great just thinking about it now!"

Just as Zhang was imagining a bright future, her mother-in-law kicked her arm.

"Are you still asleep?"

Zhang was ruthlessly brought back to reality by her mother-in-law, and the smile on her face gradually disappeared.

"Sleep, sleep, sleep, I'm going to sleep now." After saying that, she closed her eyes.

The sun at noon was extremely hot, so hot that people started sweating just lying down.

At some point, a cicada flew to the roof and stayed there, chirping tirelessly, making people feel even more irritated.

......

Half an hour passed.

The family began to wake up from their lunch break one after another.

Everyone came to the yard and washed their faces with water to refresh themselves.

Daniu and Ale took out the hoes from the tool room one by one and placed them in front of the gate.

An Yue put on her bamboo hat and took her sickle to prepare to go out. Eighty little dogs slipped out of the door, rushed in front of An Yue, and ran back and forth happily.

Just like that, everyone carried their hoes and walked out of the yard gate.

Only An Nian and his sister-in-law Meng Xiuer were left at home.

Anyue, Daniu and Ale walked in front carrying hoes, and Dabaoniang and Chunzhi followed closely behind.

Although grandmother Zhou didn't say anything, she followed everyone closely without missing a step.

Soon, everyone arrived at the back slope.

I saw that the big pit of compost soil had sunk.

An Yue walked forward cautiously and directed Daniu and A'er to dig up the top layer of soil.

Chunzhi, her aunt and grandmother all stood around and watched curiously.

After a few breaths.

Daniu and Ale wielded their hoes and quickly dug up the mud covering the fertile soil.

Suddenly, a foul smell hit me in the face.

An Yue squatted down, grabbed a handful of fertile soil with her hand, looked at it carefully, and sniffed it.

The fertilizer at this point has turned brown in color, but the texture appears somewhat uneven.

An Yue frowned slightly, thinking about the next steps of composting in her mind.

Chunzhi, who was standing aside, saw that An Yue didn't say anything, so she walked over to An Yue, squatted down, and asked, "Miss, how is our compost going?"

An Yue stood up, patted the dirt on her hands, and said, "Our compost looks pretty good! It's fermented much better than I expected."

When everyone heard this, they all smiled.

Ale asked excitedly: "Miss, can we use this fertilizer soon?"

An Yue nodded and said, "Well, yes."

"However, we have to wait a little longer for this fertilizer to be applied to the ground after all the ferns and leaves have completely decomposed. That is when the fertilizer will be at its best!"

When everyone heard what An Yue said, the joy on their faces was beyond words.

Looking at the fertile soil in the big pit, they seemed to have seen the great harvest in autumn.

An Yue pointed to the corners of the pit and said, "Daniu, A'er, the two of you use hoes to put all these unrotten dead leaves aside."

Ale nodded and said, "Yes, okay, miss."

Afterwards, An Yue said to everyone, "Let's turn over all the fertilizer today and bury all the unrotten dead leaves."

"After burying it, when we come next time, the fertile soil will turn dark brown, and it will be completely finished."

After everyone listened to An Yue's words, they began to swing the hoes in their hands.

An Yue raised her hand to wipe the sweat from her chin and continued:
