Chapter 94: Warm-hearted neighbors
"Uncle Mantang, are you here to see Tianshui?"
After the seedlings are planted, the next time is the most tiring time to look at the water in the field. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Rice, as the name suggests, naturally depends on water, and the amount of water must be grasped well. If there is less water, the seedlings will not grow well if they do not have enough water, and they will easily dry up. If there is too much water, the seedlings will rot their roots, and the season will be in vain.
Therefore, after planting the seedlings, you have to look at the water in the fields. Tianshui is related to the next harvest, and no matter how honest people are, they are all accounting at this time. When the fields are high and low, when there is a shortage of water, the fields in the upstream near the water will get more water first, and the downstream will dig a gap in the upstream fields to put down the water.
Fights over this happen almost every year.
Yudong used to follow Yan Qingshan to get up at night to see Tian Shui, and saw Jin Mantang walking to the edge of the paddy field to look, guessing that he should have come to see Tian Shui.
"Yes, God help this year, the rain is enough, this year there is not enough water in Dongshan, but there is not too much water. ”
The weather has really helped this year, and it has rained at night for the past few days. Even Dongshan, a field that can't store water, is not short of water. But the problem is to come and see it often, in case there is too much water, you have to open an opening in time to release the water.
Jin Mantang nodded and joked, "Yudong, I didn't expect you to be young, and you all know to look at Tianshui." ”
"That's what I know. But how much water is appropriate?"
"You see, the seedlings are so high, the field water has not reached this place, from here on the net, the height of half a finger is about the same. If the water is more than half a finger deep, you have to boil it quickly. If it's not enough, you have to divert water quickly. ”
Jin Mantang taught Yudong hand in hand. The field he changed to the Yudong brothers and sisters was on the side of the road, close to the ditch, which was convenient for water diversion, and the downstream was his family's land. This reassured Yuxiu a lot, at least, they shouldn't quarrel with Jin Mantang.
"Thank you, I see. ”
"Your children can't get up, so when I come to see it in the evening, I'll help you see the fields by the way. Don't come here these nights. Jin Mantang patted Yudong on the shoulder.
It is hard work to watch the fields, and it is common to get up two or three times a night. His words are equivalent to helping Yudong share the next hardship.
"How embarrassing is this, Uncle Mantang, I will also learn in the future, or I will follow you for a few nights and learn first?"
"Okay, I'm too old to feel much. You're still young, it's time to grow up, no matter how polite you are, you'll see the outside. Jin Mantang directly decided.
Yudong couldn't get rid of it, thanked Jin Mantang for his kindness, and went home with Yuxiu.
At home, Yushu and Yuliang actually installed three wooden basins, two large wooden basins of loaches, and one wooden basin of small fish and shrimp.
As soon as Yushu and Yuliang saw Yuxiu, they looked at her with bright eyes.
Yuxiu smiled, these are two gluttonous cats.
"Eldest sister, look, that pot was baked by the second sister. Yuliang pointed to a pot under the eaves, it turned out that the two had already baked a pot.
The color of this pot baked by Yushu is very good, but a few of them are burnt. This afternoon baking can be hotter than the evening.
"Sister, there are several scorched. Yushu said embarrassedly.
"Those few are cheap blue girls. Yuliang pointed to Lan Niu's bowl, which contained seven or eight loaches.
"Alright, you guys rest for a while. This afternoon, what has been sunburned. Yuxiu touched Yushu and Yuliang distressedly, their faces were all red, I was afraid that they would be sunburned and would molt tomorrow.
The five of them had a hasty dinner, and Yuxiu roasted a large pot of loaches, and then put away the roasted ones that were baked last night in the courtyard.
"Brother, Uncle Mantang will help us look at the water in the field, or in a few days, we will send him a bag of dried loaches?"
"Okay, mix it with the salt you made, it's delicious. ”
The matter has been discussed and settled, the field has been planted, and tomorrow, I will go to Linglong Mountain to have a look.
At this time, all the vegetables that should be planted were planted, and Yudong didn't have time to sow the seeds, so there was nothing to harvest at this time. They thought that they would first loosen the soil, and then they would be able to plant turnips and cabbage.
Several people were discussing, and someone knocked on the door outside the hospital, and it turned out to be Dr. Hu.
He accepted Yuxiu's one or two silvers, and promised to come back to help Yan Qingjiang take a look. But Dr. Hu's family also has a field, and after planting rice in the past two days, he finally has time to come.
Yuxiu saw that it was Dr. Hu and politely let him into the house. It was a little dark in the room.
Zhuanghu family, usually there is a moon to sit outside to enjoy the cool chat, late to go back to the house to sleep, rarely light the lamp, disgusted waste oil. Candles are even less used, and they are willing to light candles when they worship the Buddha.
Yan Qingjiang was lying on the bed, Dr. Hu couldn't look in the dark, Yuxiu brought the oil lamp into the house, but it was still not bright enough. Doctor Hu waved his hand and asked Yan Qingjiang to be helped to the door of the house.
"Doctor Hu, can my uncle get out of bed?" Yudong and Yuxiu were dumbfounded, didn't they tell them to recuperate? For these days, they were stunned and refused to let Yan Qingjiang get out of bed.
If it weren't for the bamboo mat and helping him wipe his body every morning and evening, Yan Qingjiang might have to lie down with bedsores.
"Don't move your legs and you'll be fine. Dr. Hu replied strangely, probably not expecting a few children to be like this.
Yushu moved a large bamboo chair and placed it at the door of the house, and Yuliang put a bench under the eaves.
Yudong went to help Yan Qingjiang, moved to the bamboo chair and sat down, let Yan Qingjiang put his legs on the bench, and slowly untied the cloth strips and planks of the bag.
Doctor Hu looked at the wound, it was very clean, and the bones were not crooked when he touched it, "Don't worry, the next thing is to recuperate." This is the place," he said, pointing to a hole in Yan Qingjiang's calf, from which the bones poked out, "it is estimated that there will be a scar here." But it's okay, the days go by, and you can bury a lot of them back for a long time. ”
He looked at Yan Qingjiang's complexion, "You guys are cooking well, look at your uncle's complexion, it's much better." ”
Yuxiu smiled, the old ginseng bought back from Yunchang Town, stewed a bowl for him to drink in the morning and evening, and the qi and blood could naturally be raised a lot.
Supplements were eaten every day in the previous life, and I felt that it was useless. Now I find that Yan Qingjiang eats like this, which is quite useful, no wonder the old people say that the tonic will be tired and cannot be eaten often.
After reading it, Dr. Hu took some medicine powder and put it on it, leaving a bottle of medicine powder.
"By the way, I'll change the prescription. ”
When Yuliang heard this, he ran to the house and found a pen and paper and handed it to Dr. Hu.
Dr. Hu didn't expect that they still had paper and pens at home, and some people who had no money would just take a piece of oiled paper and ask him to write a prescription.
He wrote down the prescription, "Okay, the next thing is to rely on nourishment." This recipe, you take the medicine and give it to him for seven days, and you don't need to take it after eating, as long as you don't feel pain in your legs, it's fine. It's good to keep it like this. When it's hot, you can also sit on a chair at the door like this, and pay attention to not crooked legs. ”
