Chapter 88 Rice Planting and Farming
Yuxiu quickly carried a pot of tea, took two big hats, and went out with him. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Yudong looked back, "Xiuxiu, what are you doing here? ”
When Yan Qingshan was alive, he always told Yudong that it was natural for a man to farm and work and make money to support his family, and it was enough for a woman to do housework at home.
"I have two acres of land, and I have to learn how to plant seedlings and farm, and there will be more things to do at home in the future." Yuxiu refused to go back, "I don't care, I have to go anyway." Brother, don't worry, I promise not to get in the way. ”
She swore with one hand in her hand.
Yudong frowned, obviously not wanting her to go.
"Besides, if there are many people with more hands, if the water in the paddy field leaks, it will affect the harvest. Let's hurry up and plant the seedlings, and we still have work to do on the mountain. Brother, in the future, when you are as tall as your father, I will be at home, doing nothing, waiting for you to support me. ”
Yuxiu said, and approached Yudong as if she were a fool.
"Okay, let's go together. Yudong agreed a little helplessly.
"We're going too, we're going too!" Yushu and Yuliang poked their heads out from behind the courtyard gate, and both of them changed into coarse cloth clothes, and their trousers were rolled up, as if they were going to go into the water.
"Brother, what the eldest sister said, multiple people have more hands!" Yuliang cleverly used Yuxiu's words just now to block the mouths of the two.
"Shu'er, little four, there is still an uncle lying in bed at home to take care of. In this way, Shu'er is at home today, you have fed the chickens and ducks, there are still two clothes to be washed in the yard, and you have to cook for all of us. No one but you can do these things. Yuxiu saw that neither of them would go back, so she simply sent Yushu a job.
Yushu originally refused, but when she heard Yuxiu say that no one could do it except her, she happily agreed.
Yuliang happily rushed out of the courtyard door, and was about to follow, Yuxiu pushed him, "Xiaosi, in the future, Xiao Huang at home will be handed over to you, you take Xiao Huang and go with us to Dongshan to herd cattle." By the way, if you have loaches, you can catch a few and eat them at night. Xiao Huang will be a heavy labor force in the family in the future, so you have to take care of it. ”
The little calf in the family was called Xiao Huang directly because he had yellow hair.
Yuliang heard that Xiao Huang would be a heavy laborer in the family in the future, and felt that he was shouldering a heavy responsibility, so he agreed, and ran home with a back basket and a small sickle, put it on his back, and went to the pigsty to take Xiao Huang out.
The blue girl doesn't provoke the chickens and ducks now, she barks at the little yellow every day, and now when she sees the scalper being pulled out, she runs after it energetically.
Three people, a cow and a dog, walked mightily towards Dongshan.
When I walked through the village, I met Han who was washing clothes by the dripping pool.
When Han saw the three of them, he first turned his head to dodge, and then as if he thought of something, he stood up and squirmed and greeted, "Xiuxiu, are you going down to the ground?"
Yudong and Yuliang thought of that incident when they saw her, and they didn't pay attention to it.
Yuxiu greeted with a smile, "Second sister-in-law, yes, let's go down to the ground and take a look, are you doing laundry?"
Seeing that Yuxiu greeted him with a smile, Han felt much more comfortable, and accosted a few more words before squatting back to wash his clothes.
Yuliang was a little unhappy, seeing that there was no one, and complained, "Eldest sister, why are you ignoring her?"
Yuxiu saw his unhappy appearance and pinched his cheek, "What's the matter, you can hang an oil bottle on your mouth." Why does the eldest sister pay attention to her, you can figure it out by yourself, and I will make you something to eat when you answer correctly. ”
Yuliang turned his head to avoid Yuxiu's claws, and a pair of thick eyebrows on the little chubby face furrowed, really pondering.
Yuxiu talked to Yuliang, while quietly looking at Yudong, seeing that her brother also lowered his head and pondered, and smiled secretly.
When the three of them walked to Dongshan, the sun had not yet reached here. Yuxiu handed Yudong a big hat to bring with him, and asked Yuliang to lead Xiao Huang and graze cattle along the hillside.
Yuliang watched Yuxiu put the bag of dry food and a pot of herbal tea on the edge of the ridge, turned his head and shouted, "Lan Niu, you lie here and watch good things." ”
The blue girl wagged her tail and walked to the basket with her head held high, with a great momentum of giving up on me. It circled around the basket, finding a place where it felt comfortable and lay down.
This work is what Lan Niu is used to, she used to follow Yan Qingshan and them to the ground, if Yan Qingshan threw her clothes on the ground, Lan Niu would lie on the side to look at things, and if she didn't take the things, she wouldn't go away.
Yuliang looked at its head held high, and looked straight at it, and couldn't help but pick up the water by the ridge and splash it, which made the blue girl scream unhappily several times.
"Little four, don't bully the blue girl. Hurry up and lead Xiao Huang over to graze. Yuxiu saw that Yuliang was playing naughty, and was afraid that he would fall into the paddy field with one foot in the air, so he hurriedly drove people away.
Yuliang pulled Xiao Huang to walk a few steps forward, and saw a piece of aquatic grass luxuriant, so he simply tied Xiao Huang's reins to the trunk of the tree over there and let it eat it by itself. He took the basket and walked back to the paddy field and began to turn the loaches.
Yuxiu followed Yudong's example, pulled up her trouser legs, took off her shoes and put them on the edge of the ridge, and stepped into the field barefoot.
Looking at the smooth and mirror-like Tian, after stepping on it, it was still a little chokling.
She walked a few quick steps to Yudong's side to see how Yudong did it.
Yudong followed Yan Qingshan to work in the fields at the age of eight or nine, and he also did rice planting in previous years. He untied the rice handle, walked to the rightmost head of the paddy field, and inserted his left hand into the field with his right hand from the top of the rice handle.
These seedlings were pulled out of the seedling fields of Jin Mantang and Jin Fuqing, bundled one by one, and when the seedlings were planted, they were planted into the field one by one.
Yuxiu watched for a while, walked to the edge of Yudong, and began to plant rice side by side.
In addition to the sun, there are two points of hard work, one is to bend over and work. I kept bending over, and I couldn't straighten my waist at the end of the day. At this time, it is a little cheaper to be short, like Yudong and Yuxiu, it is just right to sit on a small bench.
Another problem is that you have to go backwards. The eyes can't see the back, the inexperienced are easy to trip, and if you walk backwards, you will walk crookedly, and the seedlings will not be straight.
The real good hand of rice planting can form a line horizontally and vertically, and it will be neat when you look at it.
The seedlings planted by Yudong are not bad, at least they are straight when viewed vertically.
Yuxiu is still the first time to plant seedlings, at the beginning of the hand did not hold the strength of the hand, a force of most of the seedlings in the ground, the force is too small, the hand just let go of the seedling floating on the water, she tossed for a while before feeling a little experience.
The first time she planted seedlings, she didn't expect to be able to form a line, so she planted them according to the position of Yudong's seedlings.
Unexpectedly, after finally inserting a line, I stood on the ridge and looked, Yudong's line was straight, but Yuxiu's line was crooked.
