There are a lot more people in Shenjiagou, and the main reason is that there is more land and water this year.

If life has to pass, in fact, many peasants are reluctant to leave their hometowns to go out to work.

There is a lot of land in Shenjiagou, and the soil quality is not bad, but there is a lack of water.

Last year, Shengou gave money to dig a deep well, solved the problem of water, there are some people who want to come back to farm, and at the end of the year, the land is pushed, and there are more people who want to come back, and the main reason for this phenomenon is that the current work is not good, especially last year, a lot of people stayed at home for more than half a year, and there are not a few people on the verge of bankruptcy.

And more importantly, if you plant a few hundred acres of land, the income is actually no worse than a part-time job.

Of course, farming is not just about planting.

Now it is no different than in the past, and farming also requires the same cost.

In the 90s, when a family farmed more than 10 acres of land, there was no agricultural machinery, and cows, horses, mules, and donkeys could also plant with ploughshares.

You have to buy agricultural machinery, at least fifty or sixty thousand.

Not to mention the water bill, the village will charge the cost of electricity, and there is not much money.

But the fertilizer money has to be paid, right?

The fertilizer money of hundreds of acres of land can cost tens of thousands of yuan.

There is also a population, and there is a lot of labor to plant corn.

I haven't planted for more than ten years, and many people have already sold out their belongings that can be sold, and they can come back if they want to come back, so this year's farming is still those who have been farming in the village, and there are more people because many young people have come back.

When Shen Hui and Huang Peipei arrived in the village, they saw many people working in the fields from afar.

I didn't have time to water the winter water after the ground was pushed last year, and there were no snows in a winter, which must not be able to be planted, so the four wells have not stopped after the New Year, and they have been releasing water and watering the ground thoroughly.

Shenjiagou used to grow mainly wheat, and later followed by corn.

Depending on the climate, the timing of the species varies from place to place.

Even within a county, the timing of sowing varies as well.

Shenjiagou is usually sown from the end of April to the beginning of May, so now is the time when the farming is busy, every household is busy plowing the land, and all kinds of tractors are suddenly emitting black smoke in the field, and they are working hard to plough the ground.

The most conspicuous one is naturally Shen Liguo's Case 600.

There is also time for ploughing, either ploughing after the autumn harvest, watering after ploughing, turning it over with a rotary tillage rake when planting in the spring, and then sowing the seeds, or ploughing when planting in the spring, and most people choose to plow when the land is planted in the spring.

There is also knowledge in this, and it is recommended that agricultural experts study hard.

Plough the land after the autumn harvest, because the soil is soft after ploughing, which is not conducive to water preservation, after sowing in spring, it will affect the germination rate of seeds, so farmers draw results based on experience, after the autumn after direct watering, infiltrate the ground, so that the soil can retain more water, and then sow after plowing in spring, which is conducive to improving the germination rate of seeds.

Shen Hui didn't go to the village, but went directly to the big courtyard covered on the ground.

As soon as the car stopped, a dog pounced and blew up its fur to pounce on him.

"Ah......h

Huang Peipei screamed in fright, shrank in the car and didn't dare to get down.

"Get out of the way!"

Shen Hui glared, the little yellow dog trembled in fright, and ran away with his tail between his legs.

"Phew, I'm scared to death!"

Huang Peipei patted her chest: "Why do you still have a dog, I didn't listen to my father." ”

I got out of the car a little scared, and my mother had already heard the movement and came out.

"Why are you two here?"

Zhang Jinhua was holding a rolling pin in her hand, and she knew what she was doing at a glance.

"Come up and take a look!"

Shen Hui said: "How many days can I finish plowing?"

Zhang Jinhua said: "Your father said that he would finish plowing today." ”

Shen Hui sighed, it was the first time he had come to this courtyard, so he looked around the house.

Mom is making noodles, not like making lunch, but like steaming buns.

A vegetable field was dug in the yard, a lot of vegetables were planted, the seedlings have emerged, and the growth is quite good, Shen Hui recognizes a few, peppers, eggplants, tomatoes, coriander, and the rest are not known, no need to guess, I also know that my mother planted them.

In the past, in the bungalow in the county seat, my mother dug a small piece of land in the yard to grow vegetables.

Now that I think about it, I still miss the little cucumber that my mother planted, although it is quite small, but it has a cucumber smell, which is like those greenhouse cucumbers sold in the market now, and there is not much cucumber flavor at all like radishes.

Shen Hui turned around and walked to the ground.

I haven't planted in years, and I have to bring back something in my memory.

When you come, you have to take a look, growing up in farming, even if you are rich and rich, some things cannot be thrown away.

It's not good if you don't divide the grains.

Huang Peipei didn't follow, and went to the fire room to help her mother-in-law.

Zhang Jinhua felt very satisfied, the eldest daughter-in-law is stronger than the second daughter-in-law in this regard, after all, she came from the countryside, not a child of a cadre family like Liu Na who does not touch the spring water with her fingers, she is not so squeamish, not to mention that she can go to the hall, and it is absolutely no problem to go to the kitchen.

"Mom, I'll take you on a trip after May Day!"

Huang Peipei pinched the yellow roll and said: "May Day is not too hot, it is a good time to travel, I will take you abroad to go around, otherwise it will be hot in June and July." ”

Zhang Jinhua said: "How can you leave, you have to cook for them!"

Huang Peipei said: "Hire a cook!"

Zhang Jinhua said: "The land is planted, and your father can't leave!"

Huang Peipei said: "Dad and my dad will take them when the autumn is done, and I'll take you and mom out." ”

Zhang Jinhua has traveled a lot of places in the past two years, and she is actually not interested in tourism anymore, so she shirked and said: "I heard that foreign countries are very chaotic now, and there are still many people who have been infected, so don't run around and stay at home safely." ”

Huang Peipei said: "It's not so exaggerated, it's all the media scaring people, you have worked hard for most of your life, take advantage of the fact that you are still young and hurry up to go out and have a look, Shen Hui has bought villas and large yards in the United Kingdom and the United States, you go there to live for a while to see how people live abroad, otherwise you don't want to go out no matter how old you are." ”

Zhang Jinhua nagged: "Why do you buy so many houses abroad, you can't go a few times." ”

Huang Peipei said speechlessly: "Alas, Mom, why does he earn so much money and don't buy a house to keep it, and he can't bring it in the coffin!"

......

The ground is so big that it's a bit strenuous to run on two legs.

Shen Hui asked the driver to drive the car to the east, got out of the car and waited for a while, the big tractor dragged the seventeen ploughshares across several meters, and suddenly ran over, the ground was relatively wet, so that there was no dust, but the big man was difficult to turn around, and left a large dead corner on the corner.

The tractor didn't turn around, stopped and turned off, and Shen Liguo got down from the cab: "Why are you here?"

"Come up and have a look. ”

Shen Hui took out his cigarette case, handed the cigarette to his father, and asked, "Is this guy easy to open?"

A smile bloomed at the corner of Shen Liguo's mouth, took the cigarette and lit it, and said: "It's very easy to drive, much better than the previous kind of small tractor, the direction is hydraulically assisted, there is air conditioning and heating in it, and the noise is not as big as a small tractor." ”

Shen Hui has a little itchy hands, when he was in junior high school, he farmed with his mother, and the family used that kind of small tractor, because there was no help, the direction was heavy, and he hadn't controlled such a big guy yet, but he was moved, so he extinguished the idea of test driving and asked: "How much land can this big guy plow in a day?"

Shen Liguo said: "Look at the ploughing, if you are slow, you can plow 5,000 mu, and if you are fast, you can plow 10,000 mu from early to dark." ”

Shen Hui was stunned: "You can't plow so much, right?"

Shen Liguo said: "Why can't I plow, I thought I could plow 2,000 acres in front of me, but I only knew that the previous kind of small tractor with a turning plow, ploughing more than ten acres of land a day, the four-speed throttle can't run fast, this guy has too much horsepower, just give a little oil speed is several times that of a small tractor, and bring seventeen ploughshares, plow 5,000 acres a day easily, if it is dry from dawn to dark, run faster, 10,000 acres is not a problem, one day can be plowed." ”

Shen Hui sighed, feeling a bit wasteful.

But it's good that Daddy is happy, and it's not a problem if the waste is not wasted.

Father and son talked for a while on the ground, and another small tractor burst out.

Shen Hui asked, "Whose family is that?"

Shen Liguo said: "I bought it, this big guy can't plow the corners, so I bought a small one, specifically plowing the corners left by Big Keys, and occasionally pulling something or something has to make the small one, the big one is still inconvenient." ”

Shen Hui glanced at the person driving the small tractor and asked, "How much money do you give Uncle Liping?"

Shen Liguo said: "Don't give money, I'll lend him a small tractor to plow the land." ”

Shen Hui nodded and didn't ask again.

The small tractor drove up and stopped and turned off.

Shen Liping came over to rub his cigarette and stood on the ground with Shen Hui and his son.

"It's all raw land, and I don't know how much we can harvest this year. ”

Shen Liping is very worried, the raw land that has just been pushed, the crops will definitely not grow well in the first year, and the yield will not be high, and he doesn't know how much fertilizer to make, and he is not a wealthy person like Shen Liguo, how can he not worry.

"It's not a big problem. ”

Shen Liguo said: "Our land here is almost the same, as long as the fertilizer is sufficient, the yield is not much worse, that is, the grass has to be cleaned well in the first year, and the grass is definitely not good, there was no water before, and now there is no shortage of water, five watering a year, even if the yield is bad in the first year, I think it is no problem to collect two thousand catties, if you spread the mulch film and cultivate it carefully, it is possible to have two thousand five hundred catties, it is not much, it is more than the chemical fertilizer, and one acre of land should be able to fall for six hundred yuan." ”

Shen Liping said: "It's good if I can drop 600, and my 280 acres can fall 100,000." ”

Shen Liguo said: "A lot of land is empty, and you don't need land rent, you can charge more for a variety of points." ”

Shen Liping had a bitter face: "You don't have a backache when you stand and talk, it costs six or seven hundred to plant an acre of land, what if you lose it!"

Shen Liguo said: "How can you lose it, it's not a cash crop, how can you lose it if you make a little bit at most." ”
