Chapter 103: Sowing the Seeds
The third child brought two bundles of wheat stalks from the big treasure house, and Chen Chunhua hurriedly spread the wheat stalks, holding them in one hand, and weaving them with the cloth strip rope.
This kind of tying method is often played in the countryside, where adults will weave straw ropes, and she will watch from the side. The third child saw that Chen Chunhua was a little laborious, so he took a hand and helped her hold the wheat stalk, which was an extra pair of hands, and it must be very trouble-free to do.
After weaving the wheat stalks, the third child will do the iron, and there are carpenters in the house, which saves a lot of work.
Chen Chunhua took a scald and a piece of bamboo to the field, and the boss repaired two pieces in the field according to what Chen Chunhua said.
Sure enough, it was farming, Chen Chunhua looked at the two pieces hooked by the boss very well, and after looking at it for a while, he took off his shoes and socks and went to the field.
The boss looked at what Chen Chunhua was taking, and he didn't say a word, he had used a hoe and rake to turn over more than two acres of land in the past two days, Chen Chunhua thought, if there are more kinds of land in the future, it can't be turned over like this, it will be so tiring.
took this hot man down to the field, and raised his hands to iron the two pieces of land, the eldest and the third looked at this action, and they were also puzzled, and they had never seen anyone take this thing to work in the field.
Don't look at this easy, there is water in the field, and this scalding is also big, and if you want to scald it, you have to crush the large pieces of silt that are lying there.
After being busy for a while, Chen Chunhua was a little tired, maybe she hadn't been in the field for a long time, and she felt tired for a while.
This piece is not half ironed, Chen Chunhua put down the iron, stood and rested, the boss also understood, hurriedly walked over and picked up the iron, and started to work, Chen Chunhua was also happy, and asked the third child to hand over the bamboo chips. The bamboo pieces are inserted on the edge of the plot, and then bent and inserted into the other side.
"Big brother. Busy with work! "The big pillar came down with a hoe and passed over the mouth of the river. Seeing the busy work in this field, he put down his hoe and said. "What are you going to plant?"
The boss looked at the big pillar and said. "Why are you free today?"
"It's very empty, and I haven't gone out to look for work, so I'm not going to be busy in the house!"
Chen Chunhua saw that she had nothing to do with herself, smoked a bamboo slice and went up to the field, nodded towards the big pillar, and went back with the third child.
It's a busy field. Chen Chunhua naturally wanted to hurry back to the shop, but she was not here these days, and she didn't know if Qiu Ju made tofu to sell.
On the second day, Chen Chunhua got up early and went to the town.
Seeing that the door of the shop was open, Qiu Ju and the second aunt were busy selling tofu, and seeing that Chen Chunhua was back, Qiu Ju was a little embarrassed on her face and said. "Sister-in-law. You're back! ”
Chen Chunhua nodded slightly, went into the shop and went to the backyard, and took down the millet hanging under the eaves, so that she explained Qiu Ju when she left. Throw some water on it for a while, open the bag and take a look, good fellow. It's all sprouted.
I grabbed a handful and spread it out to take a look, with a happy face. He took the bag and went out of the yard.
"Qiu Ju, I still have to go back to the village. You're busy! ”
Qiu Ju and the second aunt took a look and shouted. "Sister-in-law, when will you come back?"
"Hurry up!" After saying that, he went to the meeting place and took the ox cart in the village chief's house back.
Back in the village, just in time for lunch.
"Big brother, when you have lunch, you will plant the millet first!" After this sowing, there must be someone in the house, and with the present climate, the days of February, May and August, which are not hot or cold during the day, must be cold at night, and the stalks of wheat that have been woven must be covered.
"Daughter-in-law, why is your rice different from others, I look back at them planting rice, isn't it the same as planting wheat!" The third child looked at Chen Chunhua's whole thing, and couldn't help but ask.
When Chen Chunhua heard this, she paused with the bowl and said. "Who told you that this kind of rice is the same as growing wheat?"
After speaking, he put down the chopsticks in his hand and looked at him. "Third brother, don't you tell me that they have always planted rice like wheat?"
"Yes, we see that everyone is planted like that, and we don't see that other methods are used!"
"Yes, no matter what method they use, I can do it by myself!" Chen Chunhua now realized that they even planted rice differently, and that kind of sweet potato was also like this, directly planting the whole sweet potato.
Growing rice like wheat is strange, and it is strange that there can be a good harvest, so she said, how can you not harvest hundreds of catties per acre.
After eating lunch, Chen Chunhua was a little impatient to carry the millet to the mouth of the river, to be honest, this is really the first time to sow seeds by herself, she used to look at it in her grandfather's house and wanted to try it, but then she didn't try, but she remembered these.
I used to think that if no one cared about her, she would still be able to farm by herself, but she wouldn't be hungry! Later, after studying and going to university, and becoming self-reliant, that thought also became a memory. I often think about it, and I feel innocent and funny!
went down to the field, grabbed a handful of millet from the bag and sprinkled it on the scalded field, looking at Chen Chunhua with a burst of satisfaction.
After sowing the grain, the boss came with the woven wheat stalks and bamboo chips, which were made by Chen Chunhua yesterday, and the boss didn't need her to say, and inserted the bamboo slices one by one.
The two of them were busy with these, Chen Chunhua said. "The wheat stalk doesn't need to be covered this time, and then it will be set up at night, and it will have to be removed in the morning!"
"Daughter-in-law, where did you learn this method?" Although the boss said that the daughter-in-law is her own, what she says and what she does is for the sake of the house, which is a good thing, but they don't understand many things, once or twice, this is more times later, the boss also has a mind, if this idea is put aside by the daughter-in-law's mother's side to start working, where is his turn to be the three brothers.
Chen Chunhua looked at the boss, saw that his expression was serious, his eyes flashed, he squatted down to clean the mud on his feet, and said. "I also listened to what others said, I don't want to see if it can be done, if it does, we don't want to, if it doesn't work, we can't!"
Hearing this, the boss didn't continue to ask, and thought about it, what luck should he have in the house and married a good daughter-in-law.
After sowing the seeds, Chen Chunhua had nothing else to do, so he went to the village chief's house with the third child and asked him to take them to the town. The eldest stayed in the house to watch over the house and take care of the ground.
I ran back and forth twice a day, and when I got to the shop, it was not early, and I knocked on the door of the shop, but no one came to open the door.
Chen Chunhua pursed her brows and said. "Where did this Qiu Ju and the second aunt go!" As soon as they said this, Qiu Ju and the second aunt came back from there, looked at them and said. "Spring flowers!"
"Qiu Ju, second aunt, what are you two doing!" Chen Chunhua looked at the bag they were carrying in their hands and said. "What are these?"
"Hey, this is white noodles, someone sent it, don't stand and say it first, let's go in!"
When she entered the backyard, the second aunt gave Chen Chunhua a way. "Isn't there a big family in the east of the town, there is wealth in this house, the old lady has a big birthday at the beginning of next month, and she will start to scatter grain, I and Qiu Ju listened, don't you rush over to see if you can get some!"
"Yes, I and my second aunt went over that time, hey, the people in that row are old, otherwise we would have come back early, we have all gone, thinking that there is nothing to do, just wait, the two of them each got a small half pocket of white noodles!"
"That's done, it's better to get some of this than nothing!" Chen Chunhua didn't say anything, thinking that she would not be there for a few days, everything in this yard was everywhere, and the wood steam was not taken to be cleaned, she couldn't see the chaos, stood up and put the wood steam into the water tank to soak, and said. "How's business going these days?"
"Business is good, the tofu I made, they didn't know if you made it, no one said anything!" Looking at Chen Chunhua's busy work, Qiu Ju hurriedly came over and tithes the things in the yard one by one, she was still a freshman, Chunhua was not there, she was also very anxious.
After cleaning these up, Qiu Ju pulled Chen Chunhua to sit down and said. "Sister-in-law, all this money is earned from selling tofu in the past few days, and the second aunt is also watching me collect it from the side, don't dare to tell a lie!"
Chen Chunhua hasn't said anything yet, Qiu Ju is afraid that she will wronged her, and besides, it is not hers to make this money, Qiu Ju is naturally busy with her own work! "What kind of lies, just a few days' work, I know in my heart, you can take this money yourself, and give me the bean money and the shop money!" Last time, she counted Qiu Ju, and this shop counted her ten cents a day, of course, this is a small amount, nonsense, how much to collect!
The second aunt also heard Qiu Ju say this, patted her arm, and said. "Qiu Ju, Chunhua will take it if you want to take it, she won't be in the shop for a while, you are busy with your work, you will naturally count it, she doesn't want you much, and you have to give it to you!"
"Yes, I'm just embarrassed, this is the first time I've seen people doing business like this!" Qiu Ju said and counted the money to Chen Chunhua, but Chen Chunhua didn't count it carefully, and put it away directly, and said. "This time is a time, I don't say that I am often not in the shop, I can't be busy, that's it!"
Qiu Ju knew that she didn't know what she meant, the shop that was finally opened in someone's house could make you so profitable, and Chunhua also saw that the scene in her house was not good, so she thought of a way to make her money!
"That's not it, it's a once, it's a little bit!" After the second aunt finished speaking, she continued. "Chunhua, why do you see that the third child is back and out again?"
Chen Chunhua only then realized that the third child didn't come back with her just now, so why didn't she say anything. "I don't know!"
"I heard that the old lady of the big family of loose grain is not a big birthday, and they also invited someone to set up a stage to sing fishing drums!"
Chen Chunhua was stunned and wondered. "Singing fishing drums?"
"This can't be said clearly, the first two days have to start, full of three days of singing, this is left outside the courtyard of that family, I got the letter, this please set up a platform and have a share of the money, if the third child is free, go and see, see if you can go!"
"Alas, when the third brother comes back, I'll tell him about it!" (To be continued......)
