Chapter 94 94. Motherwort

When he just came back, Luo Yihang asked Luo Cheng whether he could grow crops on the meadow behind the house.

Luo Cheng also asked the plant protection department, who said that the slope there was more than 25 degrees and could not be turned into farmland due to fears of soil landslides.

But it's okay to sow some flower seeds.

Now the meadow is full of naturally grown weeds and wild flowers, which do not grow well and are sparse.

The density of naturally grown plants is definitely not as dense as that of artificially grown plants.

So I've been thinking about sowing some seeds on it.
We need those with a high germination rate, dense growth, low requirements for climate and fertility, few diseases and pests, long growth period, and preferably some economic benefits or good looks.

Luo Yihang searched online, but there were really... not many people who met the requirements.

After noting down several species that met the requirements, Luo Yihang ran to Qiang Wa's warehouse to look through them. He also sold seeds there.

I originally wanted to find geraniums, but there were none, only motherwort.

That’s fine. Motherwort meets the requirements. The flowers can be used to collect nectar, and the seeds are cheap, only 25 yuan per pound.

There were twenty kilograms of food in the warehouse, and Luo Yihang bought them all. After bringing them back, he threw them in the utility room and didn't have time to spread them.

Now it is just right for coaxing children.

back home.

Luo Yihang took Luo Qi to wash their hands and faces.

The water on my skirt…never mind, it’s almost dry anyway, so I’ll just pretend I can’t see it.

The messy braids... Luo Yihang tried, but found that he didn't know how to fix it, so he simply took them off, combed them neatly and tied them into a high ponytail.

I look pretty good, and I haven’t lost the hair-tying skills I learned on my girlfriend’s head.

After tying her hair, she took Luo Qi to the dressing mirror to look at herself. The little girl shook her ponytail, looked left and right, and turned around several times, seeming to be dissatisfied.

She ran back to her room, and when she came out she was wearing the same overalls and shirt she wore this morning, with two hairpins pinned side by side on her head.

I went back to the mirror and looked at myself again, and this time I was satisfied.

No wonder her mother said she was the most vain.

The outfit I wear looks pretty good.

Everything was packed up. Luo Qi tugged at the corner of Luo Yihang's clothes and said in a baby voice, "Brother Hang, when are we going to plant flowers?..."

"Let's go now..." Luo Yihang also imitated her babyish voice, but was snorted by the little girl.

Then Luo Yihang pulled her out to the yard and asked Luo Qi to wait while he went to the utility room to find the bag of motherwort.

It was only twenty kilograms of flower seeds, not much, so I just found a feed bag to put them in.

Luo Qi was very curious when he saw this, so he poked his head open and looked inside the bag.

"Ah, that's it." The little girl was a little disappointed.

As for the seeds, how beautiful can they be? The seeds of motherwort are brown-black, angular, and dull. They look a bit like sand and are gray and not pretty at all.

"These are seeds. They will be beautiful when they grow and bloom." Luo Yihang explained with a smile, but the little girl's big eyes were full of confusion, as if she hadn't figured it out.

"Didn't Qiqi say that she had planted sunflowers? What are sunflowers planted with?"

“Pumpkin seeds.”

"Right, melon seeds are the seeds of sunflowers. When they grow and bloom, they are completely different from melon seeds."

"Oh. Plant seeds, sprout, grow, and bloom." Luo Qi reacted and jumped up and down, "I want to plant, I want to plant."

As he said this, he reached out to pick up the bag, but alas, he couldn't lift it.

"I can't lift it."

"It's okay. I'll find you a small basket." Luo Yihang remembered that his mother seemed to have a small basket in her room, which was given as a gift when she bought strawberries or cherries. It looked pretty nice.

Find it and put two pieces of paper towels under the frame, then grab a few handfuls of seeds and put them inside.

It is especially suitable for little Luo Qi to carry.

When I was leaving, I ran into Zhang Guiqin and Lin Jia again. They were bored on the stage, and saw two tractors rumbling there, and the men were quite enthusiastic. They thought it was boring, so they went back.

Now that I heard that you are going to plant flowers, I want to go with you.

After leaving Luo Yihang's house, walk a short distance up the newly built crossroad and leave the terraced fields.

On both sides of the road, two large meadows spread out, occupying the entire sunny slope on both sides and going straight up into the woods surrounding the mountains.

It is spring now. The meadow is covered with green grass and clusters of wild flowers are in full bloom. From a distance, it looks like a flower carpet.

It was here that the grandfathers made wreaths for little Luo Qi in the afternoon. The wreaths are still around Luo Xiang’s neck.

However, this meadow can only be viewed from a distance. If you look closer, you can see that the grass is very messy, sparse in some places, dense in some places, and yellow soil is exposed in some places.

Since no one takes care of it, it just grows naturally, and naturally it grows as it pleases.

Luo Yihang planned to use motherwort to fill those empty spaces.

……

If you want to develop an industry and grow motherwort in the fields, it will be very troublesome. You need to prepare seeds, cover them with film, and germinate them. It is actually a bit late now.

However, Luo Yihang didn't plan to get much output, so he just scattered the seeds on the ground. The rest depended on the seeds' own efforts.

Although there is no spirit gathering array set up on the meadow, these seeds have been left at home for several days, so they should be able to get some moisture.

"Watch this." Luo Yihang grabbed a handful of seeds from the bag, placed his palm facing up on a bare piece of ground, loosened his fingers slightly, tilted his palm slightly, and shook it.

The seeds of motherwort leaked out from between fingers and fell to the ground.

There is no aesthetic appeal in it, but it is indeed very fast.

A handful of seeds were quickly spread, covering a space of two or three square meters.

"Just scatter the seeds like this, and when they fall on the ground, they will slowly sprout and grow with the breeze and rain. When they grow up, they will bloom into beautiful flowers. Isn't it magical?"

Luo Qi nodded perfunctorily; his attention had long been drawn away.

He pulled Luo Yihang's sleeve and asked him to find a place for him to sow seeds.

"Here is the place, Qiqi, look, this kind of vacant land can be used to plant flowers. Those that have grown something are the homes of other grasses and flowers. Don't take other people's homes."

The main reason is that there are fewer seeds.

Luo Qi nodded in agreement, then slung the small basket over her wrist and ran to a piece of bald land that she had long had her eyes on.

Following Luo Yihang's example, he grabbed a handful of seeds from the basket and scattered them finely on the soil.

Click.

Lin Jia took out her mobile phone from behind to take a picture of this scene and quickly posted it on her Moments.

Then there was another snap.

Luo Yihang turned his head and saw that his mother was also taking pictures with her mobile phone. She was taking pictures of her eldest son.

After the photo shoot, he asked Lin Jia how to post it on WeChat Moments.

"Our Xiaohang is really good at coaxing children. When he has his own children, he will definitely educate them very well."

"Oh, he hasn't even gotten married yet, and it's too early for him to have children. There's no chance of that happening."

Zhang Guiqin said that it was not happening, but she was enjoying it in her heart.

Kacha took another photo and sent it to Ding Rui.
