   Chapter 355 Watermelon Pollination (One More)

   The affairs of Li Sanhua and her parents did not affect Gu Qingming much.

   Although Li's father and Li's mother pointed at her such ugly words as scolding fox spirits for hooking up with outsiders, the grandfather's family exasperated her.

  Gu Qingming couldn't be arrogant either.

   However, Li's father and Li's mother should not think about any help from their daughter-in-law's family in the future.

   This is a very serious matter for Li’s father and Li’s mother.

   They are equivalent to one less person who comes at the beckoning and waved away to be used for slavery, and it is also a cash machine, even though this person is their biological daughter.

   Although Li Sanhua felt that her husband's family cared about this matter, it seemed incredible.

   Obviously there was no problem before.

   But just because her parents scolded Gu Qingming, she almost cut her off from her parents' family.

   What the **** is this?

   Aren't her parents telling the truth?

  Gu Qingming, she is the daughter of a married woman, equivalent to an outsider.

   Besides, Gu Qingming is not the granddaughter and niece of their big house, so do you care that much?

  I care, her daughter-in-law who married and gave birth to two sons is no longer important.

  Li Sanhua was suddenly very disappointed with her husband's family.

   At the beginning, she took a fancy to Shi Xiaolei. On the one hand, Shi Xiaolei was handsome and had good living conditions. The most important thing was that he promised her that he would honor his parents with her in the future.

   But it's only been a few years now, and Shi Xiaolei and her husband's family are not bored anymore.

   If it wasn't for her two sons, she would really consider getting a divorce.

  Li Sanhua couldn't be wronged.

   She thought about it, packed her luggage, and planned to go back to her parents' house for a while.

  Li Sanhua thought that Shi Xiaolei would at least stop her while she was packing.

   But what disappointed her was that Shi Xiaolei didn't even want to show his face.

   After Li Sanhua left, her in-laws looked a little ugly when they looked at Li Sanhua who was leaving.

   Zhou Cuihua asked Xiang Shi Xiaolei, "Xiao Lei, do you want to get someone back? Although Sanhua is a little filial to her parents, she is the mother of two children after all. Now that the two children are so young, they will definitely make trouble."

Shi Xiaolei's face was ashen, he shook his head and said, "She is a single-minded person, she doesn't turn back if she doesn't hit the south wall. Let her stay at her mother's house for a while, but I want to see how long she can stay. Usually, she goes to her mother's house, she The two sisters-in-law, she doesn't look good at all. Go back now, hehe..."

  Shi Xiaolei did not say, they could also imagine that Li Sanhua would definitely be ridiculed by the two sisters-in-law and even dissatisfied by her parents when she was at her parents' house.

"These three flowers usually look pretty good, how come they have no principle when they meet her parents?" Zhou Cuihua sighed softly, "Forget it, let this child live in her parents' house for a while. Fortunately, the two A kid isn't very clingy to her."

  …

  Gu Qingming is very busy!

   Busy learning to grow and manage watermelons.

Watermelon plants are prone to fork, if they are allowed to grow, there will be more side branches, which will consume a lot of nutrients and affect the growth of watermelons, causing adverse consequences such as melon fall, slow growth, small size, late listing, and poor quality. Plant adjustment measures for falling seedlings, pruning, pressing vines, artificially assisted pollination, keeping melons, fruit care, and fruit cracking prevention.

  After the watermelon is planted, when the vine branches grow to 17 to 35 centimeters, they have to fall down!

  When the watermelon vines are 17-35 cm long, due to the top-heavyness, the leaves and vines are vulnerable to damage in the event of wind. It is necessary to stabilize the watermelon seedlings, that is, to tip the seedlings. The method is: loosen the soil at the base of the melon seedlings, peel off the soil where the melon vines are about to fall to the base of the melon seedlings, support the base of the melon roots with the left hand, lift the top of the melon vines with the right hand, and slowly rotate the melon seedlings at will to make them fall. To the border surface, then press the other side of the root base to the soil and pat it firmly, and the main vine begins to crawl.

  When the watermelon grows 30 to 40 centimeters, it needs to be pruned.

  Pruning, that is, properly arranging the vines of watermelon, leaving the main vines or side vines, erasing the redundant vines, concentrating nutrients, and ensuring normal development.

   There are single-vine pruning, double-vine pruning and three-vine pruning.

  Single vine pruning: That is, only one main vine is retained, and the rest of the side vines are all removed.

   Double vine pruning: that is, keep the main vine and a strong lateral vine at the base of the main vine, and remove the remaining lateral vines as soon as possible, and lead the remaining two main vines to the same side.

  Three-vine pruning: In addition to retaining the main vine, select 2 strong growing lateral vines at the base of the main vine, and remove the remaining lateral vines at any time.

  Gu Qingming asked a few melon masters for advice. Even the three uncles were very experienced in growing melons, and at the same time they applied the science and technology they learned from books.

   Practice and theory coexist.

   Of course, these watermelons were soaked in the spiritual spring water, and the soil was cleaned by the spiritual spring water and watered with the spiritual spring water, which made the watermelon vines grow particularly well.

   Such a good vine seedling, it needs to be cleaned up.

   These vines have not been treated with pesticides, so Gu Qingming used these vines to feed the pigs—Second Senior Brother.

   Of course, just this one pig will definitely not be able to eat so many vines.

   Seeing this, many villagers expressed their desire to buy these vine seedlings and take them home to feed pigs, cattle, chickens, ducks and geese.

   Once, a villager saw that the watermelon vines were tender and green, and suddenly he thought, he asked his wife to fry a plate and eat it.

   This one is amazing.

   The whole family rushed to eat.

  The fried watermelon seedlings are tender and refreshing, and they are a hundred times better than the vegetables they usually grow.

   His propaganda, other villagers, out of curiosity, followed by cooking and eating watermelon seedlings.

   This one is amazing.

  Before, no one had eaten watermelon seedlings.

  It is mainly because there are many small fluff on the watermelon seedlings, which are difficult to clean up, and some of them sting the throat when they are eaten. Therefore, few people are willing to eat this thing.

  The watermelon seedlings that can be taken out of Gu Qingming's greenhouse are also somewhat fluffy, but they are easy to clean. Therefore, the fried watermelon seedlings do not have that throat-stinging feeling.

  So, the watermelon seedlings in Gu Qingming's greenhouse were bought by the villagers at once.

   Even the vine seedlings that my grandmother planned to stay to feed the pigs was also snatched away.

   After pruning the branches and pressing down the vines, the watermelon blooming period will begin.

  From my grandmother and others, I know that the watermelon starts to bloom after fifty or sixty days after it is planted.

  Watermelon blooms and is about to be pollinated.

  The third female flower of the main vine or the second female flower of the side vine is the best quality and the highest yield!

   Watermelons are mostly two pollination methods:

   One is the flower pair, which is directly plucked together with the flower stalk, and then the petals are plucked to expose the stamens, and then smeared directly on the stigma of the female flower.

  The second is to concentrate all the pollen in a clean container, then use a soft brush or a small brush to pick up the pollen, and smear it lightly on the stigma of the female style, and you can see that there is yellow pollen on the stigma.

  The watermelons of more than 50 acres of land have been pollinated by thirty or forty people.

   Pollination time is 7:00-10:00 am every day.

  This time is the period when the stigma of female style and male pollen are most vigorously physiologically active.
