Zhang Xingming still insists on exercising his mental strength every day, that is, he finds a place where no one drills back and forth a few times, until he feels tired in his head, when he has nothing to walk, he casually locks something and moves it in and then takes it out, while his grandfather goes to the ground (to work in the field) to replace the water in the tank with the stream water in the space, and there is a conscious exercise of the flexibility and coordination of the body, splitting the legs and waist jumping high and long jump, most of the time pulling up the elder brother to do it together, the child is playing everything, the idea is a few hours, compared to a day, most of the time is the two brothers play, Changhong is also okay to come together, the children in the fort sometimes run to Nangou to play for a day, most of them are the children of which uncle's family, and they are all related by blood.

Farming is bounded by the Yellow River, south of the Yellow River is called turning over the land, that is, turning over the soil, breaking up the soil blocks, this can be planted, and the north of the Yellow River is not only turning the soil, but also having to plow the field with a plough into a straight ridge, from this end of the land to that end, there are more than ten centimeters wide ditch between the ridge and the ridge, after the land is planted, people will walk in the ditch, so that they will not step on the seedlings. The land in the northeast is harder than in the south, and the land is ploughed by oxen and horses.

In the spring sowing season, the cattle and horses in the team are busy, because they are cows, everyone likes to use cattle to plow the ground, the cattle are honest and obedient, and the cattle are strong and stable, the horses are a little jumpy, the strength is big and small, not to mention, it is not easy to manage. The ox ploughs the land and puts the plough on the plough and brings it to the ground, shouting to drive, the ox begins to go forward, walking steadily and straightly, people only need to hold the plough behind it, the horse is not good, the horse plough must have a person in front of the plough to lead and pull, otherwise it will either go crooked, or the strength is uneven, and it will have to be heavily plowed.

The ploughshare of the plough should be put down on the ridge of last year, and the ridge of the ground should be broken and turned out, and after the ploughing of the two ridges, the soil on both sides will pour together to form a new ridge, and the place where the plough is placed is the new ditch.

Grandpa held the plow, the old ox was chewing in front while walking slowly, the ground was turned over like a wave of water under the iron plow, the newly turned out soil was dark and swarthy, exuding the unique smell of earth, not a fragrance, but it smelled good. The elder brother took a thin stick, knocked a few times on the old cow's buttocks, and then grabbed a handful of grass and handed it to the old cow's mouth, and touched it on its neck a few times, and the old cow shook his head slowly, sometimes mooing.

Grandma called all the chickens in the house here. The old chicken, like the dog, listens to the call of the owner very much, and when it hears the shout, it coos and runs over, and the chicks and new chickens also run over, and after a while they scatter into the newly turned ground, with their heads down, and from time to time they scratch it with their paws, and they turn out a worm or something to eat.

After turning the ground to dry, just these few days, the chickens can pass the ground several times, at least can kill more than half of the pests in the ground, the chickens in the soil to find insects or insects that are quite powerful, more than ten centimeters deep can be dug out. However, there is a sequelae, when planting, the chicken should be kept in the yard for a few days, otherwise it will get up and habitually come to the field, and even the seeds will be dug out and eaten.

After being locked up for a few days, people look at it, and the old chickens know that they can't enter the vegetable field, so they will take the chickens to other places to plan. Chickens raised in the countryside will not harm the vegetable fields. When the vegetables grow, the chickens will also go into the garden to find insects to eat, whether it is in the root soil or on the leaves, one can not run, at this time there are chickens will talk about the leaves to eat, no one cares, the old chicken will repair it, a few times down the chicken has become an old chicken, know what can be eaten and what can not be eaten.

My brother is a little expert at grabbing insects, digging insects with bottles in the flock, and then feeding the chickens after digging, and being able to squat in the vegetable field all day and night is really amazing.

Plough the land, but also with a hoe to break the clods in the ground, the ridge is trimmed, straight and straight, and then start to plant, the ridge is a hard work, seven or eight pounds of hoe in the hand, hunched waist, a ridge is short is dozens of hundreds of meters, long one or two kilometers, one or two kilometers long, hit the ground in one breath, stand up straight and take a breath, spit on the hand, and then hit back from the second one, so reciprocating, the average person is really tired to lie down. Therefore, the old farmers we commonly see have a strong body, but their waists are not good, and they can't stand up when they get old.

Working in the field is to work hard in the middle, and you can't stop in the middle, and as soon as you stop breathing, you will be more tired. In fact, this is the same as the principle of how we do things, set a goal, rush in one go, and repeatedly suffer from gains and losses in the middle, and there will be no success.

When the ridge is laid, it is planted, and the planting is to plant potatoes, and the potatoes have no seeds, but are planted by rhizomes. It is to cut the potatoes harvested last year into small pieces according to the sprout eye, and it is a technical job to choose the sprout eye to cut the plant, if you choose the wrong one, the potato will rot in the ground and be planted in vain.

Cut the planting and put it in a basket, press it into the soil along the ground ridge buds and then cover it with soil, more than ten centimeters of a plant, and the hands and feet are numb for half an hour and a ridge is planted, and the hands and feet are still slow and still half of the sway.

Planting potatoes is a particularly tiring job, a ridge planting has to bend over dozens or hundreds of times, and you have to carry a basket for planting, and people with a slightly worse waist strength can't do it at all.

Planting potatoes is not for children, mainly because if the sprouts are planted in reverse, it is easy to rot, and this thing is too tiring for children to do.

When planting potatoes, children carry a small basket and pick up stones and grass roots that have not been cleared out of the ground, grass roots, and the vitality of this thing is stronger than potatoes.

A ridge, my brother was jumping in front of him picking up stones and digging grass roots, and my grandfather planted them in the back, and then Zhang Xingming followed my grandfather to water the planted sprouts, and the water could not be watered too much, it would be rotten. The water was picked up by the grandfather from a well outside the field, put it on the ground, Zhang Xingming took a scoop and filled it with water, a planter and a planter to point over, and then ran to the ground to scoop when the water was gone.

The land of my grandmother's house is in front of and behind her house, and the land in front of it is a little smaller, only twenty or thirty meters long and more than ten meters wide. The land behind the house is much larger, with a width of 30 meters and a length of more than 100 meters. There is not just one kind of thing planted in the field, and this one cannot be sold for money, but it is only grown for one's own family to eat, so it must be adjusted according to one's own needs, and the land is divided into pieces and planted with different things.

There are many people with fast hands, and the potatoes are planted in half a day, and they eat at noon, and they all sleep for a while, and they are slowly energetic, and they have to plant bud rice in the afternoon, which is corn.

Planting bud rice is to use seeds, seeds are generally selected the year before, when planting to soak in water first, so that it is easy to germinate, when planting first with the tip of the toe on the ridge to step out of a pit, there are five or six centimeters deep, and then put three or four bud rice seeds in the pit and then cover it with soil, the familiar hand is a matter of throwing a foot and wiping, and the raw hand should be drummed for a long time.

Planting potatoes is generally not allowed to let children participate, planting buds is just the opposite, mainly is the children's business, when it comes to planting buds, the ground is full of children, carrying a small basket containing seeds, jumping and burying seeds.

Zhang Xingming still remembers one thing, one year the little sister of the fifth uncle's family went to the field to plant bud rice, in order to finish planting and play with the children quickly, a handful of seeds were put in a planting pit, but fast, a basket of seeds was finished in a few clicks, the fifth uncle wondered, thinking that this child was not so cold, why did he plant so fast, ran to the field to see, a piece of land planted a few ridges, a pit almost put more than 20 seeds, at that time it was crying and laughing, so I had to go from ridge to ridge to plant it and replant. At that time, many children did this, and the girls didn't have any big deals, at most they scolded them, and the boys would inevitably be beaten violently, and the father and mother would be beaten.

The elder brother dug a pit in front, sometimes with his hands, sometimes with his feet, and occasionally squatted on the ground to study something, Zhang Xingming followed behind with a small basket to bury seeds, and his grandfather followed at the end to get some water. In later generations, farming was all irrigation, and the pumping machine was on, or the ridges were irrigated, or the pipe was held to spray, which was so laborious as at this time, and the points of one pit after another, not only tired, but also time-consuming. But there is no way, poor, fortunately, the water source here is not a problem at grandma's house, the farthest is only a mile, and the water source in some places is a few kilometers from the ground, and it takes a few days just to carry water to water the ground, and you have to get up early and dry in the dark, in case the seeds die if they are slow.

"Look, what is this? Do you know?" the elder brother ran back to show Zhang Xingming with a ground coo.

Zhang Xingming glanced at it and said, "La-la-gu." He turned around and shouted to his grandfather: "Grandpa, there is a trumpet in the field." "Like earthworms, this game lives in shallow soil, can turn over the soil, and can fertilize the excrement, but earthworms can help crops grow, but this game is a pest that eats crops. It's actually very difficult to catch this thing in normal times, because the ground is newly turned up, and it will run to the ground.

The elder brother looked at the ground in his hand and was about to throw it away, Zhang Xingming said: "Don't throw it away, go back and feed the chickens, we won't have any vegetables to eat if there are more things to do, it will eat vegetables." The elder brother looked at Zhang Xingming with a sudden realization and said, "It's just like that green worm?" Zhang Xingming nodded and said, "Yes, the pest, you want to die." ”

The elder brother looked down at the left and right, and said, "Look at a few of them, this thing is so fast, how can you catch it?" It turned out that he had just squatted there from time to time to study for a while, and he saw this thing, and he was waiting there to catch it.

Grandpa came over, looked at the insect in his brother's hand, and said, "Oh, it's big, it's not easy to get it, this dish is going to suffer this year." Let's get some medicine tomorrow and go buy medicine. "To buy medicine, you have to go to the brigade, and you have to walk seventeen or eighteen miles along the highway.

Zhang Xingming stood there and thought for a long time, as if he remembered that this thing was to the light, so he asked his grandfather: "Grandpa, can the electric light be pulled into the ground at night?"

Grandpa reached out and touched the top of Zhang Xingming's head, and said with a smile: "Pull the lamp Gaha? The crops don't need to be lit at night, they don't move." ”

Zhang Xingming pointed to the lama and said, "This thing, as soon as the lights shine at night, it will come out." ”

Grandpa asked grandma to take Zhang Xingming and his brother to plant budding rice, and he packed up and went to the team to find someone. When it was dark, the electrician of the team came over and helped pull a lamp from the house to the ground, and collected five cents.

After dinner in the evening, when it was dark, my grandfather used a pole to prop up the lamp head that was pulled to the ground, more than a meter high from the ground, screwed on the light bulb, and the family sat on the back window sill and watched. In fact, grandpa may not believe that a lamp will come out by himself, and he should be playing with the child.

The instinct of animal phototaxis is actually incomprehensible, and the light is lit for more than an hour, and there is movement on the ground, not as fast as the daytime drilling, but it is still a pile of drills out of a bunch of them, gathering under the light and crawling, I don't know why.

Grandma was originally watching a show on the side, but when she saw the true spirit, she was happy, and ran to turn on the light on the gate and released the chickens that had been in the nest again. After several nights, it took a few hours to see one or two trumpets, and the activity came to an end, and the trumpets in this large area were estimated to be not far from extinction.
