Chapter 67 Forest and Bamboo Farming
Even if the fifteenth year of the first lunar month has passed, Lin Zhu's first New Year here has passed so plainly, during which she also went to the village chief's house and Wang Shudun's house twice, and the two families praised her for her thoughtful manners.
The weather is getting warmer and warmer, and people are gradually recovering from the winter to an increasingly busy life.
Lin Zhu has two acres of paddy fields, according to the previous set of the Wang family to help, or Wang Shudun and the second Wang Lin Lao third Wang Mu, and hired Lin Dazhu's cattle, so Lin Zhu was two days earlier than the people in Linjia Village to prepare the land. With cattle, manpower is greatly saved, Lin Zhu let the Wang family father and son plough the land, deeper than they used to plough, deep ploughing has the effect of turning the soil, loosening the soil, mixing the soil, breaking the soil, reasonable deep ploughing can significantly promote the increase in production. It not only loosens the soil and improves the effective fertility of the soil, but also eliminates weeds and pests and diseases. However, Lin Zhu couldn't tell the Wang family father and son for these reasons, only that it was good for the fields, and if they wanted, they could also do the same for their own land.
The Wang family, like all the villagers, only turned the land about two adults palm long when preparing the land, and at this time they ploughed it according to the requirements of Lin Zhu, which was about half a meter, and they thought that the land rich in fertility above was deeply buried, and the gains outweighed the losses, so they did not follow suit, and Lin Zhu did not force them, and when the results appeared, it was more convincing than wearing out the skin of the mouth.
Because of the lack of land, Lin Zhu raised seedlings in his own yard, one to take care of the convenience, the other is afraid that someone will make trouble, if something goes wrong, it is also related to the harvest of the year. She couldn't take the risk of talking about the rice seeds she used. It is a good breed that has been improved in its own space, and if it grows too well, it is eye-catching. It's a little too early, and it doesn't match her plans. In her plan, high rice yield is one thing, but the most important thing is the difference between the space rice seed and the second generation, from last year's cabbage planting can be found, the space vegetable seed has made the cabbage from the mouth to the yield to the quality has been significantly improved, such cabbage if sold out, it must be more profitable than ordinary cabbage. Without a backer, she can't stand alone. Therefore, you can't sell the cabbage, in order to live peacefully in this era, low-key is the king.
Therefore, it is an essential step to cultivate second-generation seeds. The planting and cultivation of rice is particularly important, so Lin Zhu takes seedling raising extremely seriously. Chang's mother saw her busy in the water and mud, but she was anxious but couldn't help. had the intention to do it for her, but because he wanted to take care of Fudou'er's little buns, he was also sent back by Lin Zhu. So she had to prepare hot water and let her take a hot bath as soon as Lin Zhu came out of the seedling field. Save the cold. Although Chang's mother felt sorry for her, she could know that she had to do this for the sake of her livelihood, and she could only do her best to do a good job in Lin Zhu's logistics support, and learned some simple meals from Lin Zhu. Don't let Lin Zhu finish the work in the field, and worry about cooking.
In the seedling field, the rice seeds that have been dried and soaked in water are selected to produce full grains. Spread directly on the seedling field and sprinkle with a layer of rice husk ash. There was no plastic film to cover the insulation, so Lin Zhu had to find some straw curtains to cover the seedling field. Wang Shudun was afraid that Lin Zhu had not raised seedlings. Alone at home and there was no one to guide him, so he took the time to come to Lin Zhu's house to have a look, but he didn't expect Lin Zhu's seedling raising procedures to be more detailed than those of their crop masters, which was really eye-opening for him.
When he asked Lin Zhu about the reason for these procedures, Lin Zhu did not hesitate to tell him, Wang Shudun also raised seedlings in the way of Lin Zhu after returning home, and also like Lin Zhu often observed the emergence of seedlings, and made some adjustments in a timely manner, such as when to water and so on, Wang Shudun has more experience in this regard, and also taught Lin Zhu a lot. Through this period of busy work, what Wang Shudun didn't expect was that after the seedlings grew, the effect was unexpectedly good. Wang Shudun regretted that he did not plough the land as Lin Zhu said, but that bit of loss disappeared immediately, and the most important thing was that the seedlings were good.
From the beginning, Lin Zhu also asked Aunt Li if she wanted to operate like her, but her family didn't dare to take risks, but just followed the seedlings like the Wang family.
In the past, according to the seedling raising method that the people of Linjia Village were accustomed to, it took about a month and a half for the seedlings to grow to meet the standards of transplanting. But the seedlings of Linzhu can emerge in only one month, half a month earlier than others, and five or six days earlier than the village chief's family and the Wang family.
Before planting seedlings, Lin Zhu asked the Wang family and his son to water the field first, and then transplant the seedlings when it is suitable for transplanting. I have to say that the father and son of the Wang family are experts in farming, they are very fast in planting seedlings, and they are neat and standardized, and no seedling is not planted solid, floating up.
After a few days of hard work, Lin Zhu's rice fields have been planted, and the village chief's family and the Wang family have also begun to plant rice for their own family. In the envious eyes of the villagers, it was completed ahead of schedule. And afterwards, the Wang family also had more people to help outside, which was one of the benefits.
Although she didn't need Lin Zhu to go to the field to plant seedlings, she didn't stop cooking, and then supervised in the field. Now he can finally take care of Lin Zhu in front of him.
Mother Chang touched Lin Zhu's little hands that were a little rough because of the labor, and shed distressed tears, Lin Zhu persuaded her on the side, "Mother Chang, other people's children are all the same as me, some of them are more than me, and they are more tired, I have nothing to do." "Alas, it is said that the children of poor families are in charge of the family early, and when I was young, I also worked together, but after all, there are adults at home who are busy, and what I can do is limited, and because I can do some embroidery work, I have to protect my hands." Chang's mother also remembered her youth, sighed, touched Lin Zhu's head, took her into her arms again, and gently patted her back, "It's really hard for you." ”
Feeling the warmth of the embrace, as well as the gentle touch on the back, Lin Zhu's heart felt sour for no reason, and she wanted to cry, I don't know if it was because her predecessor had never enjoyed such a warm embrace, or because she herself was released from the panic and anxiety of living in this era, someone was so close to her care, so that Lin Zhu's tears couldn't stop flowing out. "I'm fine." The voice was muffled. "Ugh." Chang's mother sighed lightly and couldn't stop soothing Lin Zhu.
However, such a warm scene didn't last long, and it was interrupted by Fu Dou'er's protesting cry, "Yo, yo, yo, our little Fu Dou'er is unhappy, come and let Chang's mother see if she is urinating or stinking." Lin Zhu turned his back and secretly wiped his tears, before turning around and helping Chang's mother check Fu Dou'er's diaper together. It stinks. Lin Zhu watched Fu Dou'er kick her calves comfortably and happily after changing the diaper, and took the diaper down.
"You stinky boy, how can you eat, sleep and pull so much, ah?" Lin Zhu nodded Fu Dou'er's little nose, and answered her with a sound of ahhhh That cute look, the amused Lin Zhu's heart was itching, so he left no less than ten girl's fragrant kisses on Xiao Baozi's face, "Boy, you have taken a big advantage, do you know how to do it?" You're the first man I've ever kissed, honoring you. Xiao Baozi made another ah-h Lin Zhu touched his delicate white paws, and said to Chang's mother who was about to go out to wash diapers, "Chang's mother, it's actually very good to have him, isn't it?" ”
Mother Chang smiled back and nodded at her.
Lin Zhu enjoyed this idle and happy time, said a few words to Fu Dou'er from time to time, and played with him for a while. "Two tigers, two tigers, run fast, run fast...... Lin Zhu sang to him a children's rhyme that he knew, and coaxed her to sleep while singing. It's just that she knows that the children's songs are limited, so there will be two or three songs, what little rabbits are obedient, counting ducks, so she can only sing them over and over again, and the little buns are very happy to listen to them, and they are dancing.
Mother Chang listened to Lin Zhu's cheerful voice outside, and she was also very happy, but she was still curious about where she learned her weird tone song, although it was different from what she had heard before, it was very good.
Now the people in the village are busy with spring planting, and the children of each family are also helping, so they can't come out to play at will, so Lin Zhu can only follow Chang's mother to learn needlework at home. There is no other fun, and the joy of playing with the little bun at this time is also a good pastime. Chang's mother knew that she couldn't ask too much for needlework, and she also allowed her to be lazy from time to time.
After the first rain, the grass and wild vegetables on the mountain also grow, Lin Zhu wanted to go to Xiaoqingshan with great interest to see, Chang's mother also heard that the mountain belonged to Lin Zhu, but there was no special output on the mountain, and there were no dangerous beasts, and she only wanted to go up because it was fun, so she didn't stop her, so she was always stuffy at home, and she looked wilted.
Lin Zhu rushed out of the house with Black Beans like a bird out of the cage, carried her little back, and happily climbed up the mountain, and Black Beans also ran forward with joy all the way.
On the mountain road, the grass is already green, and the small shoots look vibrant. The branches of the trees, which have been dry for a winter, also faintly show a little greenery. Occasionally, I saw a few small birds flying over the trees, and some chirping on the branches. The rhythm of spring is cheerful and bright. (To be continued......)
