Chapter 106, Changing the Field
Fu Shi looked at his son's eyes and patted his little buttocks funny, "This mooncake has to be cooled before you can eat it, and I'll get it for you in the evening." ā
After sending her son away, she thought about it and went to the yard to ask Li Yihe: "You say, how could Shu'er talk to Ran'er about this, she wouldn't want to hear Ran'er's idea!" ā
"That's not impossible, you also know that Shu'er and our Ran'er have always been good, Ran'er, this kid is a big ghost, it's impossible to say!" Li Yihe said: "Don't know, Ran Er will sue us if she wants to say it." ā
Fu said: "I know, Brother Dahe, don't do it, get ready to eat." ā
Li Yihe said: "I know, and this point will be finished soon." ā
Fu Shi went to the backyard to call a few children to eat, Li Xiaoran washed his hands, sat down at the dining table, reached out and took a bite of a steamed bun, and muttered: "If only I could eat rice every day." ā
Li Yihe said: "Ran'er wants to eat white rice? In a few days, when my father goes to the county, I will buy more white rice and come back to eat. ā
There is no rice produced in the local area, the price of rice is very expensive, and ordinary people occasionally cook some porridge for it, and usually eat millet, rhubarb rice, small yellow rice, these coarse grains are more.
Li Xiaoran grinned happily: "Okay, okay, I like to eat white rice the most." ā
But I thought in my heart that the wheat in the field had been harvested, and it was time to tell my father about changing the drought to a paddy field.
After eating, Wang Zhi'er went to wash the dishes, Fu went back to the room to rest, Li Xiaoran took his father to the yard, the warm sunlight sprinkled on his body, and the person who illuminated it was drowsy.
Li Yihe looked at his daughter's mysterious appearance, and couldn't help laughing: "What's the matter, it's not possible to say it in the house?" "Could it be that Shu'er and her said before?
Li Xiaoran said with a straight face: "Dad, our family's five acres of land are close to the river. Daddy changed it to a paddy field to grow rice, so that our family will have rice to eat in the future. ā
Li Yihe was stunned, thinking that Ran Er was whimsical, he touched his daughter's hair, and said lovingly: "Ran Er wants to eat rice, Daddy will buy more rice in the future." ā
Oh no, Daddy didn't properly grasp her intentions.
But. That's a comforting sound. She smiled with crooked eyebrows, hugged her father's arm and rubbed it, and then raised her little face with satisfaction and said, "No." Daddy, I remember in my mind that we can grow rice here, and because the weather is cold. Only one crop of rice is planted once a year, but the rice grown is even more delicious than the rice in the south! ā
Li Yihe knew that his daughter had a lot of miscellaneous things in her head. I didn't doubt the truth of this statement, but I was still a little surprised, and hesitated: "For so many years, no one has ever grown rice here...... if this is not possible." A year's harvest can be put in.
Li Xiaoran interrupted him: "Dad, our family now has food and silver, don't say that this will definitely be possible." It just can't be done, it's just a big deal to catch the harvest of the previous year. With the harvest in the county seat, there is no starvation. "Not only did you starve no one to death, but it was much better than before.
Looking at his daughter talking eloquently and dancing with her eyebrows, Li Yihe felt that what if the harvest of five acres of land was missing, as long as her daughter's wish was fulfilled, it was better than anything else.
"Okay, dad listens to you, you can do whatever you say."
Li Xiaoran, who originally wanted to persuade again, slipped back to her mouth, she happily took her father's hand and said, "Then let's go over and take a look now, I don't know the specifics, I only know a rough idea." Daddy has to do the rest. ā
"Don't worry, you go and call your little brother and let him go with us, or when he knows that we won't take him out, he should be angry again." Li Yihe patted her little hand, "I'll go get a shovel, let's go again." ā
She nodded, jumped and ran to the backyard to call her little brother, Li Xuesi was squatting by the river playing with mud, her little hands and clothes were full of mud spots, she looked at this scene and remembered a sentence in the TV in her previous life, "What a happy mud idea".
"Little brother, look at you so dirty again." She went over and pulled him by the arm, "Let's go, let's go out with Daddy." ā
Li Xuesi pouted, "Where are you going?" ā
"Go into the field, wash your dirty hands, or we won't take you." She wrinkled her cute little Joan's nose in disgust.
Li Xuesi shook his hands in the river after hearing this, then stood up and wiped two handfuls on his body and ran out, "I'm going too." ā
Li Xiaoran followed behind him with a smile, Li Yihe resisted a shovel and a pickaxe on his shoulder, and the brother and sister followed him hand in hand, talking and laughing along the way to the ground.
In the autumn harvest season, every household is busy in the field, Li Yihe just helps the old house to harvest the wheat in the field, and they are still harvesting other coarse grains. On the contrary, it is their own family, there are not many peanuts planted in the sand, they have all been harvested, the watermelons planted before have long been sold, and the five acres of wheat Li Xuefeng and Xuejian brothers have also been harvested, but there is no work in the field.
Li Yihe stood in the ground, looked at the stacked wheat stalks, and asked his daughter: "What do you say is the law change?" Although they are farmers, they are still a little afraid of what they do not understand.
Li Xiaoran pointed to the river in the distance: "The rice is planted in the paddy field, the terrain here is already a little low-lying, and it is close to the river, so you can dig it and wait until tomorrow spring to bring water in, and you can plant it." ā
Li Yihe listened to the black line, how did he feel that this child's idea was not very reliable, "That's it?" ā
Li Xiaoran blinked his eyes innocently and nodded heavily: "That's it!" ā
She just knows a lot, she hasn't done this kind of thing, and she hasn't seen it with her own eyes, but she just knows a rough idea, how can she understand the specific steps.
The corners of Li Yihe's eyes twitched, and she walked towards the river, she hurriedly followed, the two of them circled around the ground, she thought about it and said: "Our small river is not too big, if we change the paddy field, it is estimated that we will have to dig a reservoir, otherwise if the river dries up on a dry day, it will be too troublesome to bring water from behind to water." ā
The river behind it is wide, and there will be no problem of zĆ i drying up, but it is a little far away.
Li Yihe glanced at his daughter with a wry smile, and said helplessly: "How deep does this have to be dug, no one has ever planted this here." ā
She was a little weak-hearted, and said hesitantly: "Why don't you try it in pieces?" She felt that the paddy fields she had seen before were all piece by piece, and there was not much area.
Looking at her father's speechless expression, she said again, "I think it's enough to dig such a deep piece." She thought about it with her chin on her chin and thought it was feasible, she had seen farmers planting rice in paddy fields, and the water was not above the surface of her feet, so how could she get below her calf!
Heck, it's an experiment anyway, and you can test it out in a year by digging a few more heights, so she gave a range, between fifteen and twenty centimeters.
"What about the water diversion, is it brought in after digging?" Li Yihe then asked another question.
She knew this, so she replied quickly, "Bring in water in the spring, and release the water after the autumn harvest." She said so quickly that she was stunned for a moment after speaking, as if she was not right.
She was deeply confused, oops, she really didn't get this, she didn't understand it!
"Or, or so, block test?" She weakly mentioned Jian yƬ to her father.
Li Yihe took a deep breath, and then sighed heavily, okay, who made him a good father and already agreed to his daughter's request.
"Okay, dad knows, the day after tomorrow, after the festival, I'll come over to dig the field."
Li Xiaoran said twice in a weak heart, and then reminded: "Daddy, when you go to the county seat, don't forget to dig for some rice seeds." ā
If the change is completed, there are no more seeds, and it will be lively.
Li Yihe said: "There's no need to worry, the county has everything now, but there is none, and you can get good seeds with the help of the golden shopkeeper." It's just," he sternly said, and solemnly admonished her, "Whether this experiment succeeds or not, you are not allowed to use your supernatural powers, understand?" ā
She won't use it, if this can be successful, I believe it will be promoted soon, she uses it, it doesn't grow well elsewhere, isn't it clear that there are ghosts, she's not stupid.
"Daddy, don't worry, I have a number, I promise not to use it." When it is popularized in the future, she will use less in her own field, and others will only use her family's seeds in the future.
Li Xuejian was like this for a while, his little face was black and dirty, Li Yihe took the sharp draft, shaved a few times near the river, and said in a deep voice: "Five acres of land are experimented, too much, only use three acres of this riverside, and the other two acres to plant some mung beans and red beans!" ā
Speaking of which, I am still reluctant to give up this field, but as long as I am willing to experiment.
Li Yihe said: "The two of you go up to play, Dad will clean up these wheat stalks and burn the fertile ground in a few days." ā
Li Xiaoran said: "Leave some and put them in the paddy field to fertilize the land." ā
Li Yihe nodded her forehead amusedly, "I don't know how to use it, right?" ā
She laughed hesitantly, and embarrassedly pulled Li Xuesi away from her.
"Sister, I don't understand what you're talking about." The little brother pouted a little aggrieved, and complained with teary eyes.
"Daddy has to do the experiment, if it is successful, our family will not have to worry about running out of white rice in the future."
"Wow, really? Great, there was white rice to eat later. Li Xuesi cheered.
Li Xiaoran: ......
Have you ever paid attention to the point I said, what a foodie.
Li Xuesi suddenly turned his head and muttered to her: "I'm hungry, let's go home and eat moon cakes, the moon cakes are fragrant!" ā
Li Xiaoran felt that it might be that the eldest brother and the second brother were too capable, so this little brother put the goal of struggle on eating, it seems that if he wants to become a talent, this task is a bit heavy and a long way to go!
