Chapter 30: Spring Returns to the Earth

【1】

The accountant of the brigade made a lot of money from selling lotus roots, aquatic animals, ducks and geese, carving and weaving factories in the cave, and Chinese medicinal materials. The village officials unanimously decided to divide the money into several parts. One copy is now used as a reward for model workers. There are two more parts planned for next spring.

The cold wind has passed, the ice and snow have melted, and the days of spring and brightness have arrived. The village cadres unanimously decided to use the money they earned last year to dig two wells, which made all the people of Muyehua Village excited for many days. After the village cadres discussed the money, it was used to repair the houses of poor households as soon as the spring began.

Muyehua Village also ushered in a thriving spring, and Zhang Zhishu, who loves poetry and literature, saw the revival of all things, and the birds and insects crawled...... I can't help but compose a poem:

"Feeling of Early Spring"

Yesterday, the cold hit people into the bones, and now the willows are sprouting.

The warbler and the magpie cry to call the grass green, and the ducks and geese swim happily and frighten the fish and shrimp.

Zhang Guangming was surprised to praise the spring girl, and at some point flew gracefully, and landed in front of the people of Muyehua Village, and he couldn't help but write poems to express his love for spring.

After some time, the spring breeze was rippling, and the sun shone warmly on the villagers.

Zhang Zhishu changed his strategy this spring, planting Chinese herbal medicine seedlings that can be used as medicine and bloom on both sides of the main roads in the village. Once asked, Zhang Zhishu had a reason, and the planting of these in my village this spring was to provide Chinese herbal medicine for the provincial hospital. So that the top will no longer stop planting flowers.

The spring flowers at the head of the village stretch and bloom with golden yellow flowers. Zhang Zhishu saw that the time had come to plant cotton in the south of the village.

Early in the morning, he came out of the farm and hurriedly strode towards the conference room of the brigade. When he came to the office, he gave a notice: "Hey, each squad leader will come to the brigade for a meeting immediately......" Due to the strict discipline of the branch secretary, as soon as the squad leaders heard the announcement on the loudspeaker to come to the meeting, they would immediately stand on tiptoe and step to report to the brigade. So it didn't take long for everyone to arrive.

Zhang Zhishu happily said loudly: "Comrades, this spring has arrived, 'the plan of the year lies in spring', and the time has come to plant spring cotton." I will teach you the technique of germinating spring cotton seeds: you should soak the seeds in warm water that is not hot, and turn them frequently to make them evenly heated, and you must keep them warm. After three to five days of germination, you can plant it. If the moisture is good, dig a hole, put three sprouting and plump seeds in the small pit, and cover it with melted soil. What if the moisture is not good? First, dig a hole in the ground with a hoe, pour a bowl of water, wait for the water to seep down, then put three large and full germinated seeds, and finally bury them in the molten soil. You must remember that the soil can not have bricks and rubble, and the soil cannot be covered too thick, but it cannot be covered too thinly, and the two flat fingers are thick...... After another three to five days, tender shoots emerge from the soil. For those that do not sprout, we must check what the situation is in time, and deal with it in time!

Zhang Zhishu went to enjoy the beautiful scenery of spring and flowers. He couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Wow! What a beautiful field!" When he saw the grass growing and the warbler flying, the earthworms swimming, the river singing, the shrimp swimming and the fish jumping, the ducks and geese lazily basking on the sand on the riverside, and the white clouds floating in the blue sky. He also saw a group of children with smiling faces, looking at butterflies, dragonflies, bees, etc., all kinds of kites flying with beautiful wings in the blue sky and white clouds. There are still Monkey King holding a golden hoop stick in the sky, Tang Sheng riding a horse, and Zhu Bajie carrying a big iron palladium in the sky, you are chasing me, the children are chasing, making noise, giggling, it turns out that they are playing with kite competitions to the fullest!

He suddenly remembered a Tang poem: "Children return early from school, and they are busy taking advantage of the east wind to release paper kites." He looked up into the fields where the villagers were energetically counting cotton. Zhang Guangming looked at the picture of a peasant plowing spring in front of him! He couldn't help but recite a poem:

"Spring Fun in the Countryside"

The spring flowers are pretty, and the crops are covered with green carpets.

Only the birds are singing, and the insects are playing in the mud.

The fish and shrimp in the blue water are happy, and the ducks and geese sleep on the sand.

Gently floating clouds in the sky, children chasing kites.

Everyone grows cotton to the fullest, and competes for the sky.

Zhang Guangming is working every day, whether it is a fishery, a crop field, a carving factory, or a weaving factory, leaving his busy figure everywhere.

No, he picked up the bullhorn again and shouted: "Hey, hello folks!" Spring is a good season for planting melons, beans, potatoes, and rice, so what is the specific time? Qingming has arrived, planting potatoes and beans, planting melons and vegetables; the clear tomorrow is fine, and the valley is in the middle; the early rice is warm, and the late rice needs to be cold. For crops, fruits, and vegetables, timely cultivation is a very important thing that must not be delayed!" "The villagers got up early and worked in their homes, holding shovels and drills, turning over the fermented dung underneath and turning up the brown-headed and white-bodied tigers hidden under the land. People will not show mercy and shoot it to see Hades. What about the fermented dung? It must be covered tightly, otherwise the stinky dung will choke people. When there is a lump block, the villagers will use a shovel to shoot it into pieces, and they will use a small hoe to hoe the turned plot again, so that the clad hidden in it will be hoeed. Then use an iron rake to make a furrow, or a ridge to rake. After forming a furrow or ridge, it is necessary to use an iron rake to go again. In this way, the big slabs will be crushed one by one, and the soil will become loose and soft. Everyone can sprinkle rapeseed and plant vegetable seedlings.

Zhang Zhishu planted a lot of vegetable seedlings in his yard. Zhang Zhishu pointed to the vegetable seedlings and said to the visitors: "Who wants to plant any vegetable seedlings?

Zhang Zhishu also called on everyone on the loudspeaker to plant melons, fruits and vegetables in front of the house. The branch secretary is personally involved in many things in agricultural production and always guides. Fearing that the masses would slack off, he stressed again: "We dare not delay the great time for spring planting!" Isn't there an old saying about crops: "If you mistake me for a spring, I will be hungry for half ......a year?" The squads obeyed the command of the branch secretary and planted a lot of vegetables, melons, and fruits in front of and behind their houses. The teams used the saffron drilled by Zhang Changsheng to go to spring sowing, and also planted various vegetables. The villagers treat the seeds as if they were treasures, and are careful not to let a single seed be exposed. This is the seed of hope for the lives of the villagers! How can you not cherish it?

On the fourth day of planting spring cotton seeds, Zhang Guangming began to inspect one by one, he saw that the cracks in the ground where the cotton seeds were buried began to loosen, and on the fifth day, the cotton buds began to emerge one after another The green cotton seedlings, like his little daughter, were tender, well-behaved, chubby and very cute.

The seedlings of sesame seeds and sorghum are also out of the same teeth.

In order to prevent the tigers, who are fond of biting their roots, from attacking the crops, people will use a small iron claw to hug the land, and they will destroy one by one. Because it is an invisible killer hidden underground. It is fatal and devastating for crops and vegetables. When the villagers planted the crops, they first used small hoes to form narrow ditches, then watered a little, and when the water seeped down, they sowed the seeds, and finally grabbed a handful of soft soil and covered it. The seeds sown together are not unearthed together.

For example, it takes five or six days for cucumbers, long beans, green beans, etc. to germinate, pumpkins, gourds, lentils, and spinach take about ten days to germinate, and it takes more than ten days for winter melons, loofahs, and coriander sprouts to break through the soil.

When they are verdant, they need to be protected from pests and diseases. Such as: aphids, red spiders, praying mantis and other pests.

This year, Zhang Zhishu used the method of breeding seven-star ladybugs to prevent aphids. He also encouraged everyone to catch the eggs of locusts, moths, praying mantis and other pests. The eggs of aphids and red spider mites should be gently crushed to death by hand to prevent the disease from happening. "If you want to eat harmless vegetables, you have to work a lot of work!" the branch secretary said to the members on a loudspeaker. Under the care of the hard-working villagers, the green seedlings are thriving at a height every day.

It's a spring morning, and the warm sun is shining on the land, turning the cotton fields of Makino Flower Village into green and bright.

Zhang Guangming looked around, and the green cotton field was blooming with flowers of several colors. He couldn't help but open his mouth and take a deep breath of fresh air, ah, how comfortable! He broke open the cotton tree and looked at it, and found that the cotton had grown branches. He began to hold the cotton tree with his left hand, and with his right hand he broke off the excess leaves and branches that grew out of the leaf nests. There is a give-and-take!

The villagers had already learned cotton management techniques from Zhang Zhishu last year. So this year, Zhang Zhishu asked each production team to have a cotton branch breaking competition. Behold, the members of the club broke faster than one another, and no one who was sweating profusely did not care to wipe their sweat.

Zhang Zhishu asked Li Yongjin, the accountant of the brigade, to take out the brigade to engage in side jobs to make money and reward it to advanced model workers.

It is precisely because Zhang Zhishu said that the award will be awarded, and it will be cashed out immediately, which is his consistent behavior of making a promise. That's why the people of Muyehua Village will work more and more energetically!

Look at that, this spring in Muyehua Village, whether it is crops, fruits, vegetables, flowers and trees, they all present a vibrant scene.
