Chapter 403: Planting melons and beans

PS: Thank you for the tips that come and see it every day

After the land was loosened, Chu Jiaqiang gave Chu Jiacheng a salary of one hundred and fifty, and he couldn't let the family work in vain, at least he couldn't let the family even stick up the oil money.

"Come over for dinner at noon." Chu Jiaqiang said to him. In the countryside, those who help with the work are usually invited to eat together. However, since Chu Jiaqiang gave the salary, it doesn't really matter if he is invited or not.

"No, I have some things to do, so I'll go first!" Chu Jiacheng drove the machine and went back.

Chu Jiaqiang divided the geography into rows, each of which was two meters wide, so that it was easy to manage. The others rested for a while, and after Chu Jiaqiang poked the ground flat and divided the ditch, Wan Lao and the others came over to help.

"What else to do?" Zhou Furong carried a nail rake on his shoulder.

The nail rake is a traditional ploughing tool in agricultural production, and it used to be one of the essential agricultural tools for farmers. It is used for topsoil tillage, and the tillage depth is generally not more than 15 cm. It is composed of wooden handles and palladium heads, and the palladium heads are equipped with iron teeth, which can be made by blacksmiths and carpenters in rural areas, and are mostly used for leveling broken soil, raking soil, raking compost, raking grass, leveling vegetable gardens, etc.

"Your image is really ......" Chen Wu has always wanted to talk about this question from the moment Zhou Furong picked up the nail rake.

"What?" Zhou Furong didn't realize what was going on.

Li Quan and the others laughed and said nothing, and Xiaobao said to him: "Uncle Zhou looks like Zhu Bajie. ”

After Xiaobao can see things, he especially likes to watch TV during the Chinese New Year, especially Sun Wukong. This TV has impressed two or three generations, and today's children still like it very much.

As soon as these words came out. Zhou Furong's face was full of black lines, looked at the nail rake, and quickly threw it aside, dissociating himself from Zhu Bajie. Chen Wu and the others immediately laughed, they just thought like this.

"Khan! Are my ears the size of my nose? Zhou Furong said depressedly.

Xiaobao shook his head: "That's it!" If only Uncle Zhou's ears and nose were a little bigger, it would be great. ”

Children say that sentence when they have that sentence in their hearts, and the so-called fairy words are unscrupulous, which is the truth. This made Zhou Furong even more embarrassed, and secretly said that if the ears and nose were a little bigger, then I would not live. What's so good?

"Dig a pit, and keep the row spacing about 20 centimeters." Chu Jiaqiang said to them.

Chen Wu heard that digging a pit, and when he went down with a hoe, it was a big pit. Chu Jiaqiang sweated wildly: "Hey! This pit is used to bury seeds, not people, is it used so deep? Don't be in the summer, the sprouts of the seeds haven't yet popped out of the ground. ”

Wan Lao and the others suddenly laughed, today's young people really don't know how to produce.

Chen Wu's face flushed and he smiled. The pit was then filled in. Just wait for Chu Jiaqiang to demonstrate, otherwise he really won't dare to move. I'm afraid that I will accidentally make some jokes.

Chu Jiaqiang dug a few and demonstrated to everyone, that is, five centimeters deep, two palms the size, and he didn't use much force. A line passed, about ten pits, that is, about five seconds, very quickly.

"It's not difficult!" Zhou Furong saw that Chu Jiaqiang was so relaxed, and immediately said.

"Then you try." Chu Jiaqiang didn't bother to tell him. Some things seem easy. But it's hard to do it yourself, mainly because you can't do it.

Sure enough, Zhou Furong also learned from Chu Jiaqiang, digging a pit quickly, and it was a matter of a few seconds. But when everyone looked at it, especially Zhou Furong looked back, it was simply unsightly. These pits vary in depth. And it is not a line, it is not straight enough, and the distance between the pits is not uniform. I counted it, and dug two more.

Zhou Furong said embarrassedly: "Ahem! Warm up. It doesn't count. ”

Chu Jiaqiang is also fooled by them, anyway, the second uncle and aunt are here, and these jobs can be done well. He went back and picked up some farmhouse fertilizer, that is, some chickens, ducks, cow dung, etc., which had been fermented to a certain extent.

Chu Jiawan went home and brought the seeds prepared by the elder brother and gave some to Xiaobao. There is a tradition in Chujiazhai to plant melons and beans, that is, to let children put seeds, which is said to produce more melons and beans. Actually, this is not superstition, and it is not true that this is the case. This is a means of educating children in rural areas and cultivating them to be industrious from an early age.

Chu Jiawan taught Xiaobao how many seeds to put in each pit, and it would be easy to do. The little squirrel also helped, and the little squirrel put the seeds very quickly, more than twice as fast as Chu Jiawan and Xiaobao, and everyone else was very surprised.

"Huh! With this master, the people who put the seeds are much faster. Wan Lao smiled.

The first three people dug the pit together, and the seeds were Chu Jiawan, Xiaobao and the little squirrel, and then Chu Jiaqiang and Professor Wen put the farm fertilizer, and finally two people helped fill it up. Everyone worked together and the work progressed quickly.

The wren also flew over and secretly put the little squirrel in the pit and took the seeds away. was seen by the little squirrel and chased to fight, so he had to teach this guy who was making trouble everywhere a lesson.

"Brother Wren is so bad, let's put the seed and it will take it away." Xiaobao made a small report with Chu Jiaqiang and others. He has a very good relationship with small animals such as baby squirrels and red pandas.

Everyone smiled and watched this scene, and it felt so good. It didn't take long for Chen Wu to see the little squirrel throw away a seed, and said strangely: "Huh! Little squirrels also lose their temper and lose seeds? ”

Professor Wen and the others thought of a possibility and said with a smile: "That seed may be broken." ”

Li Quan walked over and picked up the seed, which was very light. He pinched it lightly and found it empty.

"Awesome! You can tell that the seeds are bad as soon as you get started. Chen Wu and the others gasped.

Fu Shenglin knew very well that the little squirrel's eyes were very vicious, and his nose was even better. Not to mention these seeds, they are pine balls, as long as the little squirrel takes it and smells it, it will know if there are pine nuts in it.

"You little ones, don't come here to play." Professor Wen said to the little Hanhu and other small animals in the back. The back ones have been filled in, and they have been run on them, leaving footprints one by one.

Xiao Hanhu and the others couldn't understand what everyone was saying, but when they saw everyone's gestures, they could understand, and Xiao Hanhu led the team out and went to play elsewhere.

Fortunately, there are not many mice here in Chu Jiaqiang now, there are snow sculptures and other animals, and the timid mice dare not bump into them. Before, there was a mouse that secretly ran over to steal food, and was discovered by the big white goose and chased to screw it. If it had been before, it would have been necessary to prevent rats from stealing food.

Rats are very powerful, like small squirrels, they can know if there are seeds buried in the ground or not, they can smell it. If you find peanuts and other foods they like below, they will secretly dig them up and eat them, which is very hateful.

"That's it?" Finally, Li Quan asked. By this time, the pit had also been filled.

"Hmmm! Just wait for them to sprout, and there will be work in the future. Chu Jiaqiang said.
