After breakfast, Xu Nian carried a hoe to the field to remove weeds. The few fields he expected to plant rice in www.biquge.info had already been overgrown with weeds because they had not been cultivated for several years.

To weed, the most effective means is, of course, manual.

First cut the many with a sickle, then loosen the soil with a hoe, and then pick up one by one by hand, even the grass roots.

Farmers rarely use pesticides in the food they eat.

Xu Zhen checked the situation everywhere, and also took a hoe to remove the grass, Tang Xin didn't need his help here, just some routine observations.

If Xu Zhen, even if there is a little grass in the field, it doesn't matter, anyway, you can't use pesticides, let alone a lot of pesticides to control weeds, grass, a little pesticide can't work at all, such as paraquat, glyphosate, these things are not only toxic, polluting the soil, but also not effective as they should be.

Besides, these pesticides have been banned from being sold and used by the state, but they are sold in the town's agricultural market. It's just that even if he can't figure it out, he can't help it, and now, weeds have become the biggest enemy of agriculture.

Xu Zhen remembers that when he was a child, the farmers went out early and returned late every day, working in their family's one-third of an acre of land every day, not only in the field, but also on the roadside.

But now, weeds have covered everything except under the eaves of the farmer's own roof.

It can't be said that the farmers are lazy, but in fact, there are indeed some farmers who would rather sit in the teahouse and make a cup of tea than play a two-dollar mahjong game than go back to get rid of some grass in the field.

Xu Zhen remembers that in the past, every family fed a cow in order to plough the land, but now there are no cows in the whole village. If there were a few cows, the grass might not grow that much.

The grasslands that need grass are desertified due to overgrazing, and the places that don't need grass in Xu Zhen's hometown are gradually turning into grasslands.

Maybe in a few years, we might be able to start grazing here.

……

Lin Yue'e carried a basket and went to the field to pick some cucumbers and green peppers to prepare for lunch.

"Yue'e, is that girl in your family Erbao's girlfriend?" Xu Dashan's wife stood mysteriously next to her and said to Lin Yue.

"No, who did you listen to, the girl is a staff member of the Bird Language Forest in Chengjing City, didn't you see that the car parked at my house has the words Bird Language Forest written on it?" Lin Yue'e explained that she wanted Miss Tang to be called her daughter-in-law, but the affairs of young people still depend on fate.

"What about the smug girl who came a few days ago? The girl who worked all day with you in the fields? ”

"That's it, my son's classmate, I heard that we have fun here, so I'll come and play for two days." Lin Yue'e knew that she was referring to Lin Miaoyan, but she also hoped that Miaoyan, a girl, could become her daughter-in-law.

"And what about the slightly smaller girl who came in a while ago? It's always your son's girlfriend, right? Xu Dashan's wife has the spirit of breaking the sand pot and asking to the end, and she is unwilling not to sit on anyone who is Xu Zhen's girlfriend.

"That's also my son's school.,It seems to be a school girl.,It's not a girlfriend.,Ordinary friends with a better relationship.,My son said so......"

"Then you don't want to determine one of these girls to be your daughter-in-law, to be honest, Erbao's child is not shallow, these girls are all from the city at first glance. It's a pity that my son is not angry, he didn't go to college, and he can't find money, so finding a wife is all for me to be angry...... Let me tell you, this daughter-in-law really can't be all from her son, if you find someone who will be angry with you, the rest of your life will be enough......"

"My son won't marry his daughter-in-law and forget his mother...... Having said that, those girls seem to me to be quite virtuous, knowledgeable and reasonable, after all, they are all readers...... It's not like those uneducated village girls...... Speaking of which, your daughter-in-law is indeed too domineering......"

"Not really...... Alas...... Okay, let's not talk about it, go back to cook, and have to pick up the kids from school after eating. ”

"Take two cucumbers and eat them, they taste delicious." Lin Yue'e grabbed a handful of green beans and three cucumbers and handed them to Xu Dashan's wife.

"Then what's embarrassing......" Xu Dashan's wife happily took it.

"Xu Zhen, this kid will definitely become a big man in the future. When the time comes, the daughter-in-law will be chosen by you. Forgive them and they will not dare to oppose you. ”

Lin Yue'e returned home with vegetables on her back and saw Tang Xin writing and painting in the yard.

"Miss Tang...... Do you feel irritated when you deal with this bird every day? ”

In fact, compared with the other two girls, Lin Yue'e thinks that Tang Xin's girl is more suitable, after all, the two of them can understand each other's speech, of course, the son can speak Mandarin, that is, two foreign girls come, and the son's can also talk to others, which has nothing to do with whether he can speak Mandarin.

"No, I love my job, I think it's much better to deal with animals than with people, at least animals don't cheat."

"Oh...... What does Miss Tang's family do? My hometown is from Chengjing City, right? ”

"Well, my dad teaches at Sanchuan Agricultural University, and my mom teaches high school...... Actually, my hometown is Ziyang, and my father was also admitted to university that year, and then lived in Chengjing City for a lifetime. ”

"Then you're still a scholar!" Xu Zhen smiled and put the hoe down.

"When did you come back?" Tang Xin glanced at Xu Zhen.

"I'm hungry, come back and get something to eat......" Actually, Xu Zhen made excuses, and the work of plowing the ground and weeding was very annoying. Although it is indispensable to participate in agricultural labor when he returns to the countryside, Xu Zhen still thinks that it is good to ask people to help with many jobs, and when he can use money, he will spend it. After all, if you want to let yourself and your father do hundreds of acres of land, you have to wait until the Year of the Monkey.

"I have apples, milk, and biscuits at home, just go get them yourself!" Lin Yue'e also smiled.

"Well, Mom, cook more delicious food at noon, I'll pick up my sister and Xiaole to come back for dinner, they haven't been back for a few days. If Xiaole knew that her sister Tang Xin was coming, she would definitely be happy and miserable, and she brought her pearl back with a companion. ”

"Okay, what day of the week is it?"

"It doesn't matter what day of the week it is, just take it back and eat it and send it back, so you have to make it early."

Xu Zhen drove a motorcycle to his sister's shop in the town, and at this time Xu Huan was playing lottery tickets for people.

"Sister, let's go home for dinner at noon."

"I heard that Miss Tang from the Bird Whispering Forest is here again, and Xiaole is still clamoring to go back after school this afternoon. Twenty yuan, thank you......" Xu Huan played the lottery and charged the customer twenty yuan.

"Then go back and take a look, Bird Yulin has caught another black ibis, it's very beautiful, Xiaole must like it...... Otherwise, I will pick her up in the afternoon these days, Tang Xin should stay for a few days, let Xiao Le learn more from Tang Xin, and cultivate some extracurricular interests. ”

"Row ......"

After school, Xu Zhen went to the gate of the primary school to pick up Li Xiaole, and then took Xu Huan back home soon.
