Since Qingming Festival, there have been a few light rains, and the vegetable garden in Lian Manman's family has already been planted, not wasting any corner of the land. As Grain Rain approached, there were two more thorough rains in Thirty Mile Camp, and every household began to prepare, as spring plowing was about to begin.
Zhang Qingshan brought Zhang Qingnian over before the spring plowing, the two of them driving two large carts. One of these carts belonged to the Zhang Family, while the other was for Lian Manman's family, as they were delivering newly purchased mules and a large cart to them.
Last year, they mentioned buying mules, and Zhang Qingshan agreed but didn't rush to buy them, instead taking his time to search. According to Zhang Qingshan, winter is a leisurely time, and Lian Manman's family had a small ox cart, which was enough for daily use. Hastily buying a mule and cart would just leave them sitting there, while still requiring feed and care.
