Chapter Twenty-Six: Planting Seedlings
The rice seedlings in Chengyang's field have already risen very high, and the straw mats covered with them have been opened, and they will be green and green, and they will be planted in two days.
Wangjia Village has been busy harvesting grain this year in the past two days, she sat in the field, watching them one by one, men, women and children are busy in the field, some people are happy and some are worried.
She had observed that the rice they planted without improvement had sparse and short ears, and when they were planted, they were not one by one, but randomly distributed one by one, without planning distances and paying attention to water diversion, just like grass, no wonder the growth was not good.
It's just a pity that they didn't rent the land to her to plant.
On the second day of grain harvesting, when the men of Wangjia Village carried the freshly collected grain to the city one by one, and sighed while walking, Cheng Yangyang felt the pressure brought by the grain tax in this era.
She familiarized herself with the process, and went to the city to change some copper plates, after all, she was ready to start work.
Next.
Wang Dafei took almost the whole village of men who could work to gather at the edge of Cheng Yangyang's breeding field, Cheng Yangyang looked at this posture, it is estimated that the ground can be turned over in half a day, and after the field is soaked in water in the afternoon, it will be turned again, and it will be planted tomorrow.
"Dumb girl, have we really gone to the ground?" Wang Dafei came to Cheng Yangyang to take care of her, as if he was giving her a chance to regret it.
After all, he couldn't stop the many people in the village who wanted to help, if she didn't need so many people, as long as she opened her mouth, he would help her stop it, and in addition, give her the opportunity to give up farming.
"Brother Da Fei, I've worked hard for you", Cheng Yangyang doesn't regret it, she wants to plant the land quickly, she is not afraid of many people, she can afford to pay her wages.
More than 100 men carried hoes and fought to turn the ground for her, and the ground that had not been cultivated for a long time was very hard and overgrown with weeds, and it was not easy.
When they turned over the ground, Cheng Yangyang was not idle.
She took two men to clear the weeds in the canal so that the stream could flow more smoothly to the fields.
Watching the continuous flow of water into the fields, instantly soaking a dry land, the feeling of being gradually filled was broken by a muffled thunder overhead.
"Yo, it's going to rain, I have to go home and get the food back."
The summer rain is coming, and the people who were still around the ridge just now to watch the excitement dispersed in an instant, and a thick black cloud pressed on the horizon, accompanied by dense raindrops.
And Cheng Yangyang's surroundings are still sunny.
"Brother Da Fei, go home first, don't look at the water", she shouted at Wang Dafei.
The soil had already been turned, but they felt that the work was too fast and embarrassed to get paid so much, so they had nothing to do to find help to divert water, and a group of people stared at the canals.
Well, now the heavy rain is coming, no need to look at it.
As soon as Cheng Yangyang turned around and walked towards the village, he heard the sound of crackling rain falling behind him, and his back was instantly soaked.
"Hurry, go back!"
There were many people running around her, everyone ran to their homes, Cheng Yangyang also ran, and a few persuaded her to hide in the village for a while, but she insisted on going back to the thatched hut in the back mountain.
The uphill road was wet from the rain, muddy and slippery, and she crawled all over in mud.
However, Cheng Yangyang loves this rain to death, she has been here for almost a month, and the scorching sun is scorching every day, which is almost drying the bare Wangjia Village, and without rain, the land in front of her will not be able to be used.
Cheng Yangyang entered the house and saw that the rain in the house was only a little lighter than the outside, the black line at her end, the wind was blowing, and the thatch in the corner of the wall was blown away, and the rain was even greater.
Without thinking about it, she slipped straight into the space.
Outside the storm, Cheng Yangyang took a comfortable bath inside, changed into clean clothes, and lay down to think about life.
The rain continued to fall late into the night.
In the morning, Cheng Yangyang, who had been in the space for a long time to heal, was finally able to come out, the front and back of the house were surrounded by a faint white mist, and after the new rain in the empty mountain, she had a feeling that her soul was washed.
It's just that the road after the rain is too difficult to walk, and before she reaches the field, she is already covered in mud.
"Dumb girl, you're here......"
"My name is ......," Cheng Yangyang tried to correct what they called her.
"I know, Cheng girl", Wang Dafei changed his words, but now this is not the most important thing, "But how do you plant here, where are the seedlings growing."
"Pull it up and plant it in the ground", Cheng Yangyang said casually, she walked past them to the side of the seedlings, squatted down, and showed them.
"First skim this straw mat a little to expose the roots of the rice seedlings, pull them out with a slight force, then wash the mud at the roots, tie them into bundles, and then get the turned land and plant them later."
Fortunately, these seeds have been baptized by her space, and yesterday's heavy rain had no effect on them, except for a little bit of poverty, and nothing else affected the farming.
"Can this be done?
They were skeptical, and after a while, most of them were pulled, Cheng Yangyang asked Wang Dashu and a few people to continue to pull here, and she took the others to the ground.
"In this way, plant in rows, plant neatly, and the distance is about one palm's width."
Cheng Yangyang was the first to go to the ground, holding a handful of seedlings in his left hand, and planting a neat pit and seedlings in his right hand, and after a while, a neat seedling was planted in front of her.
"What do you do if you have to plant a land that is neat and good-looking."
When the others saw it, although they complained that she was too particular about farming, they still went down to learn from her to plant, and they just gave money anyway.
In Wangjia Village, a small piece of land that has just been harvested and bare after harvesting rice is being staged.
The big guy stood on the ridge and looked at the seedlings that had just been planted in front of him, and suddenly felt that they could grow, and the seedlings had grown so tall, not what they thought at the beginning, scattering the seeds that had just sprouted in the ground.
"Hey, I'm done planting, I won't have any work this year", the last person who came out of the field washed his hands and sighed.
If this is said in the materialistic modern society, everyone still thinks that they can finally rest, but here, there is still half a year to leave the spring, and there is no life during this time, which means that more bitter days are coming, and how many people can't hold on to this time.
Cheng Yangyang subconsciously rolled her eyes when she heard this, it would be good if she hadn't lived so early, she had just finished planting, and she had to take care of it and wait for the harvest, during this period, she had other careers to be busy, and she would be so busy in the second half of the year that she would be so busy that she would fly to the rhythm of flying.
"Let's come and get paid", Cheng Yangyang picked up a cloth bag from the back basket and opened it, and inside was a bag of copper plates.
Hearing that they could get paid, everyone gathered around and formed a circle around Cheng Yangyang, they didn't dare to squeeze her, so they squeezed together and worked hard to move forward.
