"According to what Uncle Zheng said, this wasteland can only honestly face the loess with his back to the sky." Tao Qini pouted and said unhappily.

What does she want to do now! Drive the primitive tractor deep and deep, and suddenly ...... That's a lot of energy! I can only think about it when I hang my head.

"Yes, pouting your butt and pouting your head and digging down, autumn is easy to say, the soil layer is soft, as soon as it enters winter, it will be frozen and it will be over, the soil layer is frozen hard, there is only a white mark on the head, the shaking hand hurts, and you have to continue to dry your teeth. However, you just can't chisel hard, the hoe can't hold up, it collapses, and you have to die of distress. Uncle Zheng sighed lightly and said, "This has to be sawed and smashed when encountering the roots of old bushes, and the roots have to be planed." The whole family of three went into battle together, busy for an autumn and winter, people were tired and half dead, and at most one acre of land was opened. ”

"An acre of land?" Tao Qini raised her index finger, stared at him like a copper bell with a pair of peach blossom eyes, and said.

"Yes, an acre of land." Uncle Zheng nodded and said.

"What's that? It's not enough to plug between your teeth. Tao Qini couldn't help but smack her tongue.

"Isn't that the hardest?" Uncle Zheng closed his eyes and couldn't help but say again.

"Ahh It's harder than that. Tao Liuyi looked at him with a slumped face and said.

"It's not enough to hoe this land, the mountainous area, the terrain must be uneven, when it rains in summer, the torrential rain and flood carry the soil from the high places to the low places and wash the crops, and those who are lucky enough not to die will not live long, and the drought will die, and the waterlogging will die." Uncle Zheng looked at them and said helplessly, "You also have to level the land, dig out the soil in the high places, carry the burden one by one to the low-lying places to fill in, and build out the ridges...... This is to carry the soil from the high place to the low place, and it is all up to manpower. No matter how strong a man is, he will boil off a few layers of skin. ”

"Common terraces?" Yao Changsheng looked at him and asked.

"To the terraces." Uncle Zheng nodded and said, "Like a fool moving mountains, gnawing little by little, it is really hard to gnaw out an acre of land." ”

Tao Qini thought about it, remembered the explosives, and the special mountains were flattened for you.

Then bulldozers, excavators, hook machines...... Let's go into battle and repair it for you.

It's really hard to rely on manpower! Raw land is really hard to gnaw! It is no wonder that when it comes to opening up wasteland, they all retreat, preferring to be tenant farmers and long-term workers for the landlord's family, which is really too difficult.

"After the ground is leveled, go home and start the toilet, carry a load of 100 catties of manure, and carry it to the field a few miles away......" Uncle Zheng took the open-ended porcelain bowl on the mat, lightly took two sips of warm water, moistened his throat and continued, "But this fertilizer is still little." ”

"Isn't there chicken manure or pig manure?" Tao Qini raised her eyebrows and looked at him and said.

"I can't afford to raise chickens and pigs, I can't eat enough, where does the manure come from." Uncle Zheng looked at her pure eyes and smiled bitterly.

They are not from the bankers, why don't they know anything!

Tao Qini's eyes flowed slightly, and she muttered in her heart: Then raise it! How difficult it is, when it comes to raising chickens, she thinks about all kinds of chicken dishes, frying, cooking, and drooling.

'What does this girl remember?' This saliva is pouring out. Yao Changsheng looked at her intoxicated appearance and scolded in his heart.

"Barely go through the manure, and when the spring flowers bloom, I have the money to rent ploughing cattle and plough deeply. If he has no money, he pouts his ass and ploughs it again, and the whole family goes into battle, using a hoe, turning over the ground carefully, breaking up large pieces of soil, and removing the grass roots. Uncle Zheng looked at them and said in detail.

"Then you can plant it." Tao Liuyi said excitedly.

"Not yet, because the wasteland is far away from the crowds, you have to put up a fence around the land. This prevents the scourge of small animals. Uncle Zheng looked at them and said, "Okay, now that the land has bloomed, you can plant it, what to plant?" ”

"Plant wheat!" Tao Qini said without thinking, "I want to eat white flour buns." ”

"No, you have a land far from the water source, and you must plant some drought-tolerant crops." Uncle Zheng directly vetoed.

"Millet, drought tolerant! Millet porridge is delicious! Zheng Tong looked at them and said.

"Millet production is not high." Uncle Zheng looked at him and shook his head slightly, "Either plant sorghum or soybeans, and these fertile fields are good." ”

Tao Qini pondered in her heart that there are no high-yield corn and sweet potatoes now, and if you really want to plant, there are not many options.

Even corn and sweet potatoes are also coarse grains, not as good as fine grain rice and white flour!

"The yield is low, and when you grow it, it's just enough to eat." Uncle Zheng looked at them who were hungry and said, "Oil and water, oil and water, there is no meat to eat, and it is hard work, and if you eat cereals alone, no matter how good your body is, you can't stand it." ”

"Isn't it just meat? Rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, rely on the water to eat the water. Tao Qini said simply and easily, "When the drought is over, we will not lack meat to eat." ”

Uncle Zheng wanted to say a word of innocence, thinking about the rabbit meat that had just been eaten in his mouth, if it wasn't for them, people wouldn't be able to eat all the game.

There is indeed no shortage of meat to eat.

Tao fifteen glanced at Tao Qini and said, "Ordinary people, we're talking about ordinary people." ”

"If you want to see a harvest in the wasteland, you have to wait two or three years before you can become cooked land." Uncle Zheng looked at them and said seriously, "But no matter what, for farmers, with their own acre of land in hand, the whole family sees hope for the future." From landless vagrants to landed peasants and homesteaders, the waist pole has been straightened. Shinong industry and commerce, a member of the four people, it is convenient to do anything. ”

"Thank you, Brother Zheng." Tao fifteen looked at him sincerely and said.

"It takes several generations of people to open up the wasteland, and the father and son have tightened their belts and worked hard to earn this family business, and it is only in the third generation that they have changed from a shack to a brick house. It took five generations of efforts to go from having nothing to an ordinary family with land and a house. These things need to be paid and worked hard by generation after generation, and accumulated bit by bit. Uncle Zheng said with emotion.

"What is home?" Uncle Zheng narrowed his eyes slightly and said with some nostalgia, "A well, a mill, a cow, a wheelbarrow, a spinning wheel, planting some mulberry hemp, making clothes, collecting shoe soles, holding a nest of chickens, raising a pig, raising a few sheep, a serious family is considered complete." ”

"Isn't this just a cow on thirty acres of land, and a daughter-in-law and children are hot on the kang." Tao Liuyi looked at them and said with a smile.

"I'm not afraid of fighting for five generations, I really want to live such a life, it's worth it!" Tao fifteen's eyes burst out with a shining Huaguang Dao.

Tao Qini moved her lips, and swallowed back when the words came to her mouth, and her mouth was unfounded.

It seems that if she wants to eat delicious food, she really has to grow it herself.

No wonder the Chinese people's land complex is so heavy, this is really the root of life.

It's really the same lineage, but what people value today is the house.

Modern North Drift and South Drift, just like the ancient homeless people, renting and owning a house, that is really a world of difference in treatment.
