Chapter 0054: Field of Hope (Part 1/2)
In the early morning of the next day, the sky was still bright, and the loudspeaker point placed at the village radio station, the loudspeaker came from the loudspeaker, and the opening music of the Tianfu Village Radio Station broke the quiet morning of the mountain village.
At this time, it was only 5:30, the people in the city were still asleep, the people in the countryside had begun to get up to make a fire, and the village heard the sound of roosters crowing one after another.
The mother has been busy in the stove house, while preparing the family's breakfast, while boiling pig food, the family has built a pig pen, raising six and a half piglets, early in the morning, you have to prepare the piglets for a day's food, and then start a day of farm work, which is almost all the mother's decades, a layer of unchanged life rules.
Yu Wufeng came to his senses, as if he had returned to fifteen years ago, when he was still in the town, going to elementary school, and every day when he heard the sound of the radio, he turned over and got up, making preparations for school.
"Our hometown, in the field of hope."
"For generations, we have lived happily on this field."
"Our ideals are in this field of hope."
At the end of the opening song, it is still the song "On the Hope of the Field", which has not changed for more than ten years, echoing in the sky above the village and field, with a cheerful and passionate tune and beautiful and warm lyrics, inspiring generations of farmers to struggle in this beloved land.
It can be said that Yu Wufeng grew up listening to this song since he was a child, and after ten years of being a soldier, he came back and heard this folk song again, and the feeling was still cordial and familiar.
Standing at the window, opening the curtains, the morning breeze brings the fragrance of the earth, fresh and natural; Looking at the peak of the high mountains in the distance, the dawn of the morning breaks, the east is white, the morning glow dyes the sea of clouds, and the vitality is all over the mountains, and it is the beginning of a beautiful day.
Yu Wufeng changed into an old training uniform, and when he went downstairs, his mother came out of the stove house and said, "Xiaofeng, why don't you sleep more?" Mom will make breakfast and call you again. ”
"Don't sleep, Mom, I'll go see the vegetable patch." Yu Wufeng said, went to the utility room to get a hoe, and went out of the courtyard.
The mother was at the door of the stove room, looked at her son's back, and sighed, "This child, really went out with a hoe, he hasn't been at home for ten years, will he still farm?" ”
Yu Wufeng opened the courtyard door, the big yellow dog stood up in shock, saw that it was the young master who opened the door, looked at it with watery eyes, the big tail shook left and right for a while, shook his body, opened his teeth, stretched out his tongue, yawned, as if he was tired of waking up all night, he clicked the cold water in the sink, and saw the young master out of the courtyard gate, and then obediently squatted under the courtyard wall.
On the right side of the courtyard gate, there is a wide vegetable field, divided into several ridges, next to the vegetable field of the house, two acres of land, all of which are the vegetable fields of the Yu family.
The land in the countryside is different in terms of fertility and barrenness, so the land allocated to each family is rarely connected, and most of them are seven or eight points of land, which is scattered far away.
Yu Wufeng's house is a newly built house based on the homestead of the original old house, and the original old house is at the foot of Dengsheng Mountain, which is a peasant household who moved out of the mountain to live.
It is more open outside, it is also convenient to cultivate the land, and the building of a house occupies an area, which is exchanged with the land in the village, and the grain land is replaced by a vegetable land, so the land area of the vegetable field will be as much as two acres, and the land for planting crops will be reduced accordingly.
Of course, the vegetable field cannot be used to grow edible vegetables, in fact, most of the vegetable fields in the countryside are used to grow kraft vegetables, which are staple crops eaten by piglets, and a small part of the vegetable fields are planted with vegetables of small crops such as garlic seedlings, green onions, shallots, green peppers, eggplants, and cabbage.
Self-sufficient, to eat vegetables, pick in their own fields, without going to the market to buy, and even some farmers, as vegetable farmers, grow a lot of vegetables, when ripe, use the burden to carry to the market to sell, earn some money to supplement the family.
Half of Yu Wufeng's vegetable field has been changed into an orchard, planted with peach trees and cherry trees, the branches are luxuriant, the growth is gratifying, the nectarines are ripe, and they can bear fruit.
The cherries are a little later, the cherries need more sunlight, and they ripen faster, if they are on the top of the mountain, then they are already red and ripe, and they are still only a little red, and there are more green components, but they are completely ripe, and they are only in these two or three days.
Yu Wufeng shoveled off the weeds on the side of the road with a hoe, turned over the rhizomes directly, and placed them in the center of the appearance, waiting for the sun to come out, the strong sunlight irradiated, dried the weeds, and then neatly put them together, burned them into grass and wood ashes, and directly disposed of under the fruit trees.
For another kind of weed that grows on the ridge, the knotted plant - dog intestine grass, it is necessary to uproot, this plant is a stubborn grass, easy to grow and spread, seriously affect the growth of crops, sufficient water is the easiest to grow, the most in the field.
Her mother was a hard-working peasant woman who usually took care of the weeds in the vegetable field and orchard, and Yu Wufeng took a hoe and half-hunched over, and it didn't take long to clear the weeds on the side of the road.
Mother planted eggplant, beans, green peppers, radishes and other greens in a small area on the edge, and the roots of eggplants and green peppers grew a lot, and they were already half-sized seedlings.
The green seedlings of the carob rushed out of the soil, and the mother inserted a bamboo stand next to the seedling nest early to facilitate the climbing of the carob seedlings.
The drought in the past few months has seriously affected the crops in the entire Tianfu Province, Lantian Village is the hardest hit area by the drought due to the lack of water sources, and Zhengjia Village has also been affected, and the soil in the vegetable fields is dry and hard and pale.
Yu Wufeng used a hoe to break up the large pieces of mud, then loosened the soil, returned to the courtyard, picked up a bucket, and went to the nearby pond to carry water, ready to water the vegetable field.
When the mother heard the noise in the courtyard, she came out and saw her son's behavior, and hurriedly asked, "What are you doing here?" ”
"Mom, I'll carry water and drink eggplant!" Yu Wufeng said.
"Eh, you kid, you drink water now, the sun will come out in a while, and when it is sun, it is easy to suck the vegetables to death, and the dew has just been pulled in the morning, and it is still dry, you want to drink in the afternoon, the meal is ready, wash your hands and eat." Mom said with a smile.
"Hmm."
Yu Wufeng was embarrassed, he actually forgot about this kind of common sense problem of farm work, and only thought about taking care of the vegetables in the field, and completely forgot the planting method of the splendid space, which was completely different from farming in the real world.
"Oops, how did I forget this."
Yu Wufeng put down the bucket, and then remembered that he was farming in the splendid space, and he actually took a hoe to hoe the grass just now, and he didn't need to put the "hoeing trick" once and for all.
Hey, that's stupid.
