Chapter Seventy-Nine: Farm Work
By the weir pond, Li Fan picked a tomato casually, and pondered in his heart while eating. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
In two days, it should be the release date of Fun Kids.
This issue of "Fun Children" is still the same as the previous issue. "Shuck and Beta" and the comic "Cat and Mouse" each have half of the space.
Li Fan's manuscript had already been sent to Tang Quan's side. He didn't have to worry about these things.
Soon, he finished eating a tomato. Chirping, feeling unpleasant, I picked another tomato and put it in my mouth to eat.
The vegetables in the other fields were slightly curled downward under the long sun, and they looked a little listless. Only Li Fan's vegetable patch still looks lush.
"Hehe, with a cheat in hand, it's really a little different. Li Fan was happy in his heart.
"Baby, what are you doing squatting there?"
Li Fanzheng was happy in his heart, and suddenly heard his mother's voice coming.
He hurriedly turned his head to look in the direction where the sound came, and saw his mother carrying a load of grass on her back, coming from the weir pond.
"Oh, Mom, you're back. I'm going to cut the rabbit grass again. ”
Now my mother still has to mow the grass every other day. The little rabbits at home have also grown up a lot, and two of them were taken back by the little girl two days ago to feed.
The girl fed the two rabbits like babies. Every day when I came back from school, I would come back with a whole bag of rabbit grass on the side of the road.
Her mother cut the grass for her and came back for her to feed. She wasn't happy yet, so she had to get the grass herself and feed it.
"What a kid. Li Fan can only comment like this. Don't look at that girl, who is usually a little ghost. But after all, it's still a child's heart.
Li Fan took his mother's back and put it down in the yard. He asked, "Mom, can we harvest our wheat, when will we harvest it?"
The old mother grabbed a handful of rabbit grass and threw it on the rabbit cage, and then replied, "I'll collect it tomorrow, it's not much, and it's all over in one day." ”
"Well, good. And what about those late peanuts? Looks like they can be dug up too. Li Fan asked again.
"Those peanuts don't need to be in a hurry for the time being. Wait until it rains before digging it. Mom replied.
"Oh, good. Li Fan nodded and walked out of the courtyard. He was going to go outside for a walk, and now the sun was basically gone.
The reason why you have to wait until it rains to dig peanuts is to go there. That's because the soil is softer after the rain. You can pull out the peanut seedlings directly by hand, which not only saves effort, but also allows as many peanuts as possible to be pulled out with the peanut seedlings. Only a small amount of peanuts remain in the ground. It's also easy to pick up.
If it doesn't rain, just dig it. Since the soil was too hard, it had to be dug with a hoe. It is laborious and time-consuming, and it is not easy to dig clean.
Li Fan wandered around the village and met many villagers one after another.
Some villagers have already returned home from their work in the fields, while others have just left the house with hoes on their shoulders.
The villagers greeted Li Fan enthusiastically, and Li Fan also responded with a smile.
He already has a general idea for the construction of the farm, that is, to lease most of the land in the village, unify the planning and management, and unify the planting. At that time, I will definitely have to hire some villagers to help.
"Well, go to the village chief's house another day and talk to him about it. ”
The village chief's name is Li Fu, who is in his 50s. is the same generation as Li Fan's father, and Li Fan calls him "Uncle Fu".
......
Early the next morning, Li Fan and his family went out to harvest wheat.
Now the villagers are working, and they will miss the time when the sun is most poisonous in the middle. Generally speaking, they go to work in the fields at dawn in the morning. I was home around nine in the morning. And this is when breakfast begins.
Li Fan: So are they. Now it's past 6 o'clock, the sky has just dawned, and Li Fan and the others are already busy on the ground.
Li Fan's family doesn't grow much wheat, less than one acre of land. After harvesting this morning, come out again in the evening, and the harvest will be complete.
After all, this is the south, and wheat is not a staple food. Villagers grow wheat, usually to change flour for food, or to feed poultry.
So there aren't many of them. And the special land conditions do not allow for more planting. This side of the land is not like the northern side, and patches can be operated using mechanization.
The land here is all piece by piece. The position is still high and low, unevenly scattered, and some are still on a diagonal drape. Mechanization cannot be used, and manual labor can only be relied upon.
Still, because of this. It has created a beautiful rural scenery in the south.
The idyllic scenery of Sansheng Village is even more beautiful.
The main tool used to cut wheat here is a sickle. Cut down one by one, and the speed is not slow.
At nine o'clock in the morning, Li Fan and his father each went home with a large load of wheat. My mother memorized a full basket with a basket.
Li Fan's current body is extraordinary. This more than 100 catties of courage is placed on the shoulder, it is simply relaxed and pleasant, and there is no feeling.
Of course, Mom and Dad's health is also good now. Li Fan didn't secretly give them a drink of space spring water.
Watching my dad walk with ease is a gesture. Li Fan knew that his father may not be as relaxed and happy as himself, but he can definitely be said to be light.
Mom doesn't need to say much.
It's no wonder that mom and dad often sigh lately. Since Li Fan came home, they felt that their bodies were simply much better. What used to be a lot of work can now be done with ease.
It was a 10-minute journey without a break. I went straight home in one go.
When I got home, my mother was busy making breakfast.
Li Fan and his father began to "beat" wheat. To thresh wheat is to remove wheat from the straw. Due to the small number of wheat harvests, the villagers threshed the wheat directly by hand and did not use mechanization.
Threshing wheat is also easy and convenient, you just need to have enough strength.
Grab a handful of wheat stalks in your hand and throw the end of the wheat to the ground with all your might. After repeating this several times, all the wheat on the handful of straws fell to the ground.
Now, the last thing Li Fan and his father lack is strength.
The two of you come and go, and the sound of "bang, bang, bang!" is endless.
By the time my mother had finished breakfast, nearly half of the wheat she had retrieved this morning had been beaten.
This speed made my mother slightly stunned.
Had breakfast. It didn't take long for Li Fan and his father to finish all the wheat.
The old mother spread the freshly ploughed wheat in the yard so that the sun could get the most out of it.
......
In the evening, Li Fan's family went to the field again. He cut all the rest of the wheat.
For the next few days, the main farm work will be peanuts and corn.
