Chapter 80: Plant Some Rice

The weather became warmer, Xu Zhen looked at the excavator master paving the road, and walked from the machine farming road of the seventh group towards the courtyard of the Deng family. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Dad, what are you doing?" Xu Zhen saw his father pulling grass in a field that had dried up, and he didn't know what he was going to do, he remembered that the land was contracted by himself, ready to grow vegetables or lemons.

"Oh, I don't think you contracted these lands, since our family is staying at home now, we can't buy this rice to eat, I'm going to plant an acre or two of rice. It's enough for our family to eat for a year. ”

Xu Zhen knows the hard work of growing rice, especially threshing grain. Harvesting rice is only a few days seasonal, and it must be harvested in the fields at noon, under the scorching sun in the sky, and it can be peeled off.

If it had been before, Xu Zhen might not have supported his father in doing this, after all, whether it was millet or rice, some of them were sold in the town, but now it is different, he has more than 200 acres of lemon orchards, and he has contracted more than 100 acres of land here, and the hard work of planting one or two acres of rice is nothing, besides, it is a big deal to ask someone to help harvest it, and the rice of two acres of land will be recovered in one day.

The most important thing is that he now has a nutrient solution, and the rice he grows must have a very good taste and quality, as a southerner, the staple food is rice, of course he feels that eating better rice is also essential.

"Oh, okay, I'm afraid there are more than two acres of this field, plus these few pieces here, about five acres, all used to grow rice, after all, there are many people in the family, and some chickens and pigs have to be fed, a little more. If you can't get busy, just hire someone. It's just, where does this water go? And these fields have not been planted for several years, so there are so many weeds in the field, how to get rid of them? ”

"I cut the lot, then I called a rotary tiller to plow it, and then I put the grass away. It doesn't take much effort. You're busy, I'm all alone! The seeds have just been sown, and it is still too early to plant the seedlings. Xu Nian knew that his son had a lot of things to do every day, and he couldn't help with many things, so he let his son leave first.

"Did you buy the seeds? Where are the seedlings made? Xu Zhen is fine at this time, his father cut the grass, and he hugged the cut grass to the abandoned ridge next to it.

"I bought it, but I only planned to plant two catties of seeds, so I only bought two catties of seeds, and since you plan to plant five acres, you have to buy two catties of seeds."

"Well, I'll go buy it."

"Will you buy it? Listening to them, Q You No. 2 has been better in the past two years, with a yield of 1,000 catties per mu, and the taste is very good. There is relatively little grass in this field, and the terrain is also lower, which is not bad for making seedlings, and the size is also appropriate, and 4 catties of grain seeds can also be sown. ”

"Only, if it doesn't rain, where will this water come from?" Xu Zhen looked at the fish ponds of several families on the other side of the road, the water level in them was still relatively high, and he didn't know if he would be willing to go to them for two hours.

The owner of these fish ponds did not rent the fish ponds to him, they were other people's fields, and the water was also other people's water, and if you wanted to pump water from your own fish ponds, you had to have at least three pumps, because there were hundreds of meters over there, and they were all uphill. Moreover, in order to ensure that the black ibis can catch fish, Xu Zhen did not leave too much water in the fish pond at all.

For this protected animal, he has paid a lot.

Of course, after the fish pond he dug in Qishe was impounded, even if the fish pond here completely became Black Pearl's rice bowl, he would not have the slightest opinion. At that time, the large fish pond of at least 20 acres over there will definitely be enough to store water and raise fish.

"The weather forecast says there will be rain in the next few days, and if it doesn't rain, then we have to go back and pump water."

Xu Zhen nodded, after all, if it doesn't rain, the water will become very precious, and there are still fish in people's fish ponds, so there is no responsibility and obligation for you to smoke it casually. Anyway, there is a pumping machine at home, so borrow my uncle's again, pump it to this side, and then put it down.

I followed my father to work in the fields all morning, and then went home for dinner.

Xu Nian continued to return to the fields to weed, and Xu Zhen rode a motorcycle to the town to buy grain seeds.

Although Xu Zhen is not very clear about the state's policy on agriculture, he knows that there are seed subsidies and grain subsidies at home. At the last village meeting, it was also said that agricultural subsidies would be issued soon, and each community had to count the farmers who needed to change their account numbers and names, and hand them over to the village clerk, so that the village clerk could find the secretary of the town's finance office to help change it.

Xu Zhen, with the assistance of Xu Dawu in the past few days, has also done a good job, and there are not many things that need to be modified, only three households.

Anyway, a few years ago, it was reported that farmers who did not farm their own land or left their contracted land barren would not receive agricultural subsidies, but in the face of the complexity of the actual situation, this policy has not yet been implemented.

Fortunately, a lot of land has been subcontracted to lemon owners, otherwise there are countless farmlands covered with weeds, and I don't know if it will be the sorrow of the farmers.

Xu Zhen bought two catties of the kind of Q-excellent grain that his father said, and then bought some film.

The family has not farmed for several years, and the film for raising seedlings is gone.

For two days, the sky did not rain, and it seemed that it would not rain for a few days, Xu Zhen was really busy with many things, so Xu Nian was weeding in the field alone. It took two days to remove most of the grass, but in fact, there were still many roots in the field that needed to be ploughed before clearing.

Seeing that the sky finally refused to rain a little heavily, Xu Zhen had no choice, so he worked with his father all morning and pulled the pumping machine and pumping pipe to the pass. The water pipes weren't long enough, so he had to go to town again and buy some.

After there was a certain water level in this small paddy field, Xu Zhen went to find Xu Bin in the community, he had a rotary cultivator, and he also helped outside, he drove a farm vehicle and pulled the rotary tiller over, but the road of the Seven Societies was being repaired and could not be passed, so he had to take the side of the Sixth Society.

Fortunately, the car can reach the pass.

Put the rotary tiller in the field and eat.

After lunch, Xu Bin helped plough the land about four points. After all, it's a machine, and the land is not big, and it's fast.

It's just that it has dried up for a long time, and Xu Bin has ploughed it a few more times to make the soil as rotten as possible, so that he can be the foundation for raising seedlings.

As for the other few acres of land, Xu Zhen's fish pond does not have so much water, and there are more weeds in it, so it takes more time to remove the grass.

After another afternoon of busy work, this field looked a little good, Xu Bin was ploughing, and Xu Nian was picking up the grass roots in the ploughed soil in the field.

To make a seedling field, you can't need too much water, so the water that hasn't been pumped for a long time has not been pumped again. It took a lot of effort to collect these machines and water pipes. Lin Yue'e is still doing this work, and Xu Zhen is busy with other things.
