Chapter 780 Inspection Project II
Fan Qigen is an old farmer, his family has fifteen acres of land, but most of it is barren land, and his family is a family of five.
He is considered a laborer, his wife is not in good health, and it is okay to cook at home, but to do some heavy work, it is easy to toss, and the money for a trip to the hospital is enough to toss half a year's crops.
Two sons and one daughter.
The eldest son is useless, but the younger son can study, and now he is in high school, and his daughter dropped out of junior high school to work, and she will send some money back every year, but rarely come back.
This family, that is, he and his eldest son, the two laborers, count on the crops in the field every year to live, and the roots are flourishing.
Life is exhausted, and every year, the youngest son's tuition is paid the latest, and he can make up for it.
There is land in the family, but there are only two laborers, how much can they do, that is, they only hope that the wheat can be sold for some money.
But this year is different.
The county's agricultural bureau suddenly pushed the farmers to plant rice, and these dry lands, an old farmer like him, knew best that rice could not be planted at all.
But I heard that this is a new variety of rice that can be grown on dry land in the northwest of China.
He's a little excited.
In Qinchuan, there is no one who does not know the abundant agriculture, which is the place that all farmers yearn for, and it is also an example in the hearts of farmers.
Who doesn't know what the abundant agriculture was built up, they just started from a farmer, and they are still doing peasant things, but their lives are more comfortable than those in the city.
This is what many peasants dream of.
Although they did not have this blessing to become a part of Fengsheng, the nearby Fengsheng was willing to cooperate with them in farming.
That's hope.
For farmers, many times it is desperate, and in the face of their own one-third of an acre, it is not that they will starve to death if they do not plant.
So hope is more important than anything else.
He and his eldest son worked hard day and night in this field every year, and only a few acres of land were cultivated, and the rest of the land was wasted.
The year-round harvest, that is, that, in addition to enough for his own rations, the money from the sale is not enough for the younger son's tuition, and he also needs to plant some by-crops to sell.
Seeing that the eldest son is about to reach the age of marriage, but the current situation in the family, let alone getting married, there are not many people who come to the door to talk about matchmaking.
This is something that Fan Qigen, an old farmer, is increasingly worried about.
And he is good at everything, that is, he has soft ears, is a person who is abundant, and his tongue is not rotten, and the people from the Agricultural Bureau are guaranteeing, so he directly signed a contract with Fengsheng.
It's a gamble.
If it can really be done, maybe he can save some money to let his eldest son marry a daughter-in-law.
Many people are waiting, and Fan Qigen's initiative is the first person in Fanjiagou to sign a contract with Fengsheng, he signed a planting contract of 20 acres of land in one breath, in fact, he only has more than a dozen acres of land, but there are some wasteland next to it, which is ownerless, basically as long as it is a person in the village, whoever reclaims it, anyone can plant, but few people will reclaim these wastelands, he tried to take it down and do it, and make up enough for 20 acres.
I thought that this time the father and son were half busy, after all, twenty acres of land, even if they did it day and night, they would be able to plant rice in time.
But what I didn't expect was that in less than a few days, I was busy, and it was as easy as if I was planting a little bit of land.
This was the first time he had seen the power of mechanical planting, dozens of people could not finish the work in a day, and those machines were finished in two or three clicks in less than two hours.
Looking at the entire twenty acres of land, all of which were planted with seedlings, and they were growing well, his mouth was a little closed, even if the profit was shared, half of it was divided.
He still has a harvest of ten acres of land, and he does not need to bear the cost, as long as there is a harvest, even if the harvest is almost two- or three-fold as in previous years.
He now takes his eldest son to the edge of the field every day and looks at his twenty acres of land.
Now there are many people in the village who follow themselves to sign contracts with Fengsheng and cooperate, but the scale is not as big as their own.
At this time in previous years, the fields in the village were all wheat seedlings growing in the fields, or corn, but now, patches of rice seedlings, looking at such seedlings, one day at a time, his heart is sweet.
"Technician Ye, there is no problem with the crops in my field today!" When he walked on the foundation of the field and met a young man, his attitude became respectful.
This is a technician sent by Fengsheng, at the beginning, he was not a good person, he was an old farmer, and when it came to farming, he still needed to ask them for advice.
But after handing over, I know that people are different readers, farming is different, when to weed, when to fertilize, how much to apply, people have regulations, and people are powerful, open their mouths and say how tall they can grow today, how tall they can grow, God went.
There was a family in the village that didn't believe in the technicians, so they fooled around, and the next day, they almost didn't kill the seedlings of more than ten acres of their land.
Later, it was Ye technician, running around, using a lot of things, and working for several days before he was rescued, and the man almost did it in vain.
This incident made the people in the village trust Technician Ye more, especially Fan Qigen's eldest son, who ran to follow Technician Ye every day, after all, Technician Ye didn't care about their village, there were more than a dozen villages nearby, but anyone who cooperated with Fengsheng to plant rice was under his control, and he had to ask him about fertilizing and spraying.
When the eldest son came home, he praised Technician Ye in his ear every day, saying that he was a college student, and people learned to farm in college, so Fan Qigen also became reverent for young people.
"Nothing!"
Ye Yao is a college student, from Zhongzhou Agricultural University, in response to the call of Xiao Dingjun, the dean of the Agricultural Institute of Western University, to volunteer.
Northwest rice, in many agricultural colleges, is a topic.
He looked left and right and asked, "Uncle Fan, are there any strangers entering the village today?"
I just got the news that the inspection team of the Northwest Rice Project Team is here.
And he heard that the farmer he admired, the chairman of Fengsheng Agriculture, who was known as a farmer, once created a legend of desert planting, and single-handedly built the Northwest Rice Project, Song Shan, also came.
He just went to see, and it was best to meet Song Shan.
To be honest, he came to participate in this event, more because of Song Mountain, the northwest rice of Song Mountain, gave him a lot of mysteries, and the deeper he went, the more he was puzzled.
He hoped to talk to Song Shan, for Northwest Rice, he had discovered a lot of technical ingredients, but he needed a seal, at least so that Song Shan could reveal some knowledge.
Laymen see it simply, but insiders understand that Northwest rice is definitely a miracle, and the land in the Northwest is not suitable for rice cultivation, and it is incredible that rice can be planted on a large scale.
