Chapter 281: A Difficult Decision

The second watch, ask for pink.

xx………… xxx

Stopping at the ground, Lian Man'er and Gorou got out of the car with their baskets. Lian Shouxin untied the little ox from the cart and began to put on the plough stick. Lian Man'er took a few steps into the ground, squatted down, and grabbed a handful of soil. Because of the rain that had just fallen, the soil was very moist.

With such moist soil, it is possible to sow seeds directly. In the words of the old crop, God hurts people. If there is not enough rain during spring ploughing, then the croppers have to carry buckets of water into the fields. That kind of labor intensity, that is, the labor of a prime of life, is also difficult to bear.

Lian Shouxin put on his plough staff and drove the calf into the ground. Then, he inserted the tip of the iron plough into the middle of the ridge, adjusted the depth, and with a swing of the whip, drove the calf forward Chapter 281 Difficult Decision.

Generally, it takes two people to get off the ground with a ploughstick. One man holds the plough, and one leads the oxen and horses in front. However, there are also people like Lian Shouxin, who only use one person to drive cattle and horses while supporting the plow. This latter type often requires an experienced and good crop handle.

Lian Shouxin is a good crop, and they use oxen. Some ploughsticks were pulled by mules, donkeys, or even horses. The ox did not go as fast as a mule or a horse, but it walked steadily. Therefore, the plough stick pulled by the ox does not have high requirements for the operator. Therefore, Lian Shouxin can easily support the plow and drive the little ox by himself.

Seeing that Lian Shouxin helped the plow to plow the ground, Zhang hurriedly followed with a few children. Zhang is responsible for counting the seeds, and every time about a long distance, he points two peanut seeds. Zhang's work is also a skilled hand, she carried a basket of peanut seeds in one hand, grabbed a handful of peanuts from the basket with the other, hung down on the ridge, waist slightly bent, along the ditch, as if one foot on top of the other foot forward, peanut seeds automatically fell from her hand into the ploughed ridge.

Two pills are dropped each time. No more, no less, no more space, no more than a small interval, as if measured with a ruler.

Lian Zhi'er, Lian Man'er, Wulang's 281 Difficult Decision and Xiao Qi were all close behind Zhang, and they were responsible for cultivating the soil. Stand on both sides of the ridge with your feet and close the ridge where the peanut seeds have been sown with your feet.

The ox pulls the plough stick, which is much faster than the manual use of an iron pickaxe to plane the ridge, and Zhang's feet are folded and his head is not raised. Closely followed by Lian Shouxin, and several children also followed closely behind Zhang. Sometimes, even Shouxin will slow down a little so that Zhang can keep up with the plowman. This is because. Ploughed ridges are exposed to the air, and the moisture in the soil is lost quickly. In order to retain the moisture in the soil as much as possible and ensure the emergence rate of peanuts, the ploughed ridges should be sown as soon as possible and the soil should be closed.

"Dad, you're in front of yours." After planting half a ridge, Zhang's said to Lian Shou, and then greeted Lian Zhi'er, "Zhi'er." Come here, let's plant in sections. Let Gorou follow you to cultivate the soil, and Man'er and Xiaoqi follow me. ”

"Hey." Lian Zhi'er and Gorou agreed.

With Zhang's arrangement, the family's progress is faster.

Zhang's felt sorry for his little daughter and his youngest son, and while planting, he was busy and helped cultivate a section of soil. Make it easier for Lian Man'er and Xiao Qi.

After ploughing a ridge in a row, he would let the little ox rest in the field, and he would walk back quickly, planting seeds and cultivating soil at the same time.

On the left and right, there are people working. This large area next to Nanshan Mountain has a good land and is very suitable for growing peanuts. There are several in a row, all of which are the same as Lian Man'er's family. Growing peanuts.

The children of the farmer's family all have to work.

In a field not far away, there are two **-year-old children, helping adults to plant. After teaching the two children how to plant seeds, the adults of the family also took out two straws, and one child gave one. It turned out to be an adult in their family. I was afraid that the children would not be able to grasp the distance of planting, so I specially got two straws, so that the two children could compare the length of the straw and put peanut seeds in the ground.

"You and Xiao Qi were the same last year." The Zhang family was busy, glanced at Lian Man'er's gaze, and said with a smile, "Your sister and your brother, since the year before last, don't use that." ”

Hearing Zhang's words, Lian Man'er suddenly felt that the two little figures became cordial.

When they were younger, their sisters were going to work in the fields. But at that time, the strong laborers of the family, Lian Shouren and Lian Jizu, did not work in the fields.

Thinking of this, Lian Man'er couldn't help but move his gaze to the other side, even the old man was leading a large family of people, and he was also planting peanuts. Lian Man'er's eyes found Lian Shouren and Lian Jizu in the crowd, and stopped at these two.

Even the old man, Lian Shouren and Lian step-grandfather worked in groups of three. Even the old man is responsible for planing the ridges, Lian Shouren is responsible for planting, and even the step-ancestor is responsible for cultivating the soil.

Of these three types of work, planing ridges is the hardest and most laborious. Just like Gorou and Lian Man'er, they can plant and cultivate soil, but they can't do the work of digging ridges.

Lian Jizu was doing the golden rooster ** pose, grinning and taking off a shoe and pouring dirt out.

Lian Shouren held a basket in one hand and planted seeds in the other. I saw that he took square steps, straightened his waist, and kept up with the pace of the old man.

And when he was working, Old Man Lian, who was always ahead of his children and grandchildren, in order to match the speed of Lian Shouren and Lian Jizu, fell behind Lian Shouyi and others.

Old Man Lian dug the ground for a while, straightened up and planned to take a breath, and saw that Lian Jizu had not come back to cultivate the soil. He put down the iron pickaxe, walked back quickly, and then began to cultivate the soil where the step-ancestor had just cultivated. He had just planted a foot of soil when he stopped, staring at the ridge in front of him, his face turning blue. Then he looked behind him again, and as if he had noticed something, he turned and walked a little further back along the ditch, and now his face turned even paler.

At this time, even the step-ancestor had just poured out the soil in his two shoes, and then walked back to continue cultivating the soil.

"Master, go back, I'll grind a bubble on my feet, it's nothing, I can keep up." Lian Jizu said to Old Man Lian.

If it was in the past, when he heard that Lian Jizu's feet were blistered, Old Man Lian would definitely be very concerned. However, this time, Old Man Lian didn't seem to hear Lian Jizu's words.

"Step ancestor, don't cultivate the soil first. You look back. Look at the work you do, how you cultivated this soil, and this piece of land is still grinning. ”

"Huh?" Even Jizu seemed taken aback and hurriedly walked over.

"Look at you kid, what kind of work are you doing?" Even the old man complained, looked back again, and let out a long sigh.

Even his step-ancestor didn't know how to do farm work, and if he hadn't found out, the crops in this ridge would have been wasted. The land is wasted, and the seed that was sown in it is wasted.

"Master, then I'll rework." Lian Jizu saw that Old Man Lian's face was not good-looking, so he said carefully.

Even the old man didn't speak, walked to the place where the soil had not yet been cultivated, and walked forward for a while, this time not only his face was ugly, but his brows were also tightly furrowed.

Some of the peanut seeds in Lian Shouren are too close, some are too far away, and several peanut seeds have fallen in some places, but there is only one lone one in some places. What made him even more unacceptable was that there was still a long distance, and the peanut seeds had run out of the ridge.

"Loser!" Even the old man scolded in his stomach.

If this were someone else, of course he would have to scold out loud. But the children and grandchildren are in front of him, and there are also the villagers near and far, and he has to save some face for his eldest son and eldest grandson.

"Boss, you can stop for now." Old man Lian suppressed the fire in his heart and greeted Lian Shourendao.

"Hey." Lian Shouren stopped obediently, and didn't ask Old Man Lian why.

Even the old man blushed and stood on the ground for a long time. Even Shouren and Lian Jizu were standing next to them, and they didn't dare to speak.

Even the old man is making a difficult decision.

To rework or not to rework?

Rework, Lian Shouren and Lian Jizu's faces are gone. It's that he also has no face. If you don't rework, then the income of this ridge will be gone.

He knew that Lian Shouren and Lian Jizu were not good at farm work, so he deliberately arranged the two of them by his side. Children who are a few years old in other people's families can also work with the help of adults in the family. He is an old cropper, and he can't take care of two adult children and grandchildren.

At the beginning, these two moved slowly under his leadership, but nothing went wrong. He was relieved, and he didn't look at it as tightly as he saw it anymore. As a result, this laxity (the fastest update), the work done by these two people is not watchable.

Even the old man felt that there was something blocking his throat and eyes, and he couldn't swallow or exhale.

The other children and grandchildren who were working turned their faces to look at him. The villagers near and far also seemed to stop to look at him.

Even the old man took a big stride, walked back and picked up the iron pickaxe, and strode back, stuffing his head, and he was plowing the ridges that Lian Jizu had cultivated.

Rework, rework all. The land and crops are the lifeblood of the farmer's family, and he is reluctant to give up this ridge. Moreover, even if the past is covered up like this, when the peanuts emerge, this ridge will become a big joke for the Lian family, and even the entire thirty-mile camp and the entire Qingyang Town.

He couldn't afford to lose face.

"Daddy!"

"Master!"

Even Shouren and even step-ancestors were frightened by the appearance of Old Man Lian.

Even Shouyi and Shouli sensed that something was wrong, and they all put down their work and walked over.

"Dad, why do you plant a good ridge and what do you do with it?" Lian Shouyi asked.

This is called which pot is not opened and which pot is mentioned.

"What? Rework!" Even the old man didn't have a good breath and said, "What are you all doing here, go back and do your work!"

……

Lian Man'er's family was beside him, and he saw all this in his eyes.

Looking at the old man Lian who was working with a blue face and his hair down without saying a word, and then at Lian Shouren and Lian Jizu who were standing next to him at a loss, Lian Man'er shook his head secretly.

Why is it that children of a few ages can do the work, but even Shouren and even the step-ancestors can't do that?!

Lian Man'er was thinking like this, and when she looked up, she didn't feel stunned.

Several strong men with a plough staff stood on their ground.
