After the seedlings are transplanted to the field, the next step is irrigation and three "touching", one fertilization and one spraying.

There is no need to worry about irrigation with white hands, it has been agreed with the two brothers of the Tong family, and they will carry it to complete.

The so-called three times touching the field is a local common name, which is indispensable in the process of seedling survival and growth.

After three or five days, you have to go down to the field again, and the crooked seedlings should be straightened, the scarce ones should be filled, and the dead seedlings should be removed.

Touch the field twice, and after ten days, fertilize the main thing. Ammonium bicarbonate is the basic fertilizer, urea is the growth fertilizer, and more than 90 catties of urea are sprinkled in the field at this time.

In order to ensure that urea is absorbed by the rice as much as possible, it is necessary to muddy the water and let the urea dissolve as quickly as possible.

Three times to touch the field, after half a month, mainly weeding and spraying. The weeds in the field should be removed, and as for spraying, it depends on the actual situation, and the notice of the agricultural technician of the commune should not be sloppy about what medicine to spray and how much to spray.

After touching the field three times, the spring ploughing is over.

Like a self-handed old farmer, he takes farm work seriously and is meticulous in every link.

The fields are green and verdant, and the rice is thriving, indicating that a good harvest is in sight.

Bai Shou is very proud, this year's spring ploughing is the beginning of the implementation of the household contract system, and he is no worse than those strong laborers.

It's only been two days of pride.

It rained for three days.

White-handed ran to the field to look at it a few times.

Spring rain is as expensive as oil, rice grows three crops, and the rain makes the rice grow gratifyingly.

But two of the five dilapidated bungalows in the family were destroyed by the rain, and even half of the hall collapsed.

It was the white-handed side that collapsed on their side.

Fortunately, it was during the day, and the younger brothers and sisters were all in school, otherwise it would have been a tragedy of the house collapsing and dying.

After the rain, the sky was clear, and he squatted on the stone table in the yard with his white hands worried, repairing the house was not in his recent plan.

There is no way, the house must be repaired if it collapses, and the villagers can't see the jokes, let alone make the mother and younger siblings sad.

Selling pigs, chickens, ducks, dogs.

Within three days, all the people in the family were sold.

It's just that two dogs, Da Bai and Da Hua, sold to the neighboring village and ran back on their own.

At the behest of his younger siblings, Da Bai and Da Hua stayed.

The white hand ran to Yu Xiaoming's uncle Li Jiufeng again and gave five thousand bricks on credit.

With Li Jiufeng as a guarantee, he took 3,000 tiles on credit from the tile kiln.

The second uncle, Guo Erqiao, was a guarantor and brought a lot of wood from their village on credit.

The old captain helped, brought in carpenters and masons, and began to build the house on the original site.

In 20 days, the construction of the house was completed, and the two houses that did not collapse were also painted.

The younger siblings are young and don't know why.

The mother was worried, knowing that after this difficulty, the family was so poor that it was clanging.

The white hand is more worried.

There is a bill in the white hand.

He owes Mr. Liu sixty-five yuan, Xiao Ming ten yuan, Ma Xiaolu ten yuan, wood money thirteen yuan, brick money twenty yuan, tile money ten yuan, carpenter labor eight yuan, and mason labor fourteen yuan.

A total of 150 yuan in debt, this is still the miserable situation after selling pigs, chickens and ducks.

In the pocket of his pants, there are seven yuan and two corners left, six of which are Chen Cuihua's "salary" for the next month.

is heavily in debt, but sticks to two bottom lines with white hands.

One is not to borrow money from the villagers, and even if it is borrowed, it must be repaid in the shortest possible time, like the old captain, Fang Yulan and Chen Cui spend their money.

The other is not to borrow money from friends. The three classmates and friends of Wenqiao Street had all been here, and they didn't want to speak at all. Ma Xiaolu and Yu Xiaoming came twice, and these two guys took the initiative to take the money, but they were both firmly refused.

Last time his mother was hospitalized, Ma Xiaolu and Yu Xiaoming each took out ten yuan, this money is different, there is a favor in it, and you can owe it with your white hands.

That afternoon, his white hands were idle and he was sitting under the jujube tree in the yard to enjoy the coolness.

Ma Xiaolu and Yu Xiaoming, two good friends, are here again.

It's summer, and Ma Yu and the two of them are dressed up, jeweled, and enviable.

It used to be just a gold ring, but now it also has a gold necklace and a gold bracelet.

On his feet were cowhide sandals, which he had never seen before.

As for the "Mengtejiao" shirt worn on the upper body, white hands are even more unheard of.

The two also brought a few catties of old wine, a few bottles of soda, a package of pig's head meat, two pig's tongues and two pig's tails, saying that they would drink a few glasses with their white hands.

When the two of them went into the house to see their mother, they put away a few bottles of soda with their white hands, as well as half a package of pig's head, a pig's tongue and a pig's tail, and brought them to the dining table in the hall, covered them with a vegetable hood, and left them for their younger brothers and sisters to eat.

Ma Xiaolu and Yu Xiaoming returned to the stone table, and when they saw that half of the things were missing, they all grinned.

"Okay, I think about my younger brothers and sisters when I have food, and I deserve to be a big brother." Ma Xiaolu praised.

With three wine bowls and three pairs of chopsticks in his hands, he smiled and said, "Who made you rich." I'm called a big eater, and I even piggyback on it. ”

The servants sipped old wine, chewed pig's head, tongue and tail, opened the sea and the sky, and talked nonsense.

In the end, it comes back to the word "money".

Yu Xiaoming said: "Brother, follow us." ”

White hands, but do not let go, "Tell me, tell me about your glorious deeds." ”

"Brother Ma, you tell him to open his elm head."

Reselling foreign cigarettes, Ma Xiaolu and Yu Xiaoming have done it six times.

The first four trips were helpers, that is, simply helping others to transport, one person carrying a cigarette on his back, and transporting it from here to where. Earn hard-earned money, and charge according to the length of the journey.

The last two trips are to run the order gang, that is, to buy cigarettes by yourself, hire people to transport them, and find buyers to sell them by yourself. Because they have some capital, the two of them can afford to do it and earn a lot of money, of course, they have to do it themselves.

Ma Xiaolu concluded: "Let's pay back the money and interest we borrowed, as well as the fees, now everyone has two or three thousand yuan." ”

The white hand was almost choked by the old wine, two or three thousand yuan, how many years did he have to earn.

Yu Xiaoming stretched out his hand and slapped his white hand, "Let's do it together." ”

The white hand hesitated, did not squeak.

Ma Xiaolu said: "Xiaobai, as long as you are willing, we will work together, and you don't need to pay the capital." ”

The white hand was already moved, but he was still hesitating.

"Both, I have two questions."

"Xiaobai, you can say anything." Horse trail.

"What if something happens to me?"

Yu Xiaoming said: "Share the blessings and share the difficulties." Your mother is my mother, and your younger siblings are my younger siblings. ”

Ma Xiaolu also nodded and said, "Whoever is outside is responsible for taking care of other people's families." ”

The servant touched the bowl and drank all the wine in the bowl.

"And. I don't join the gang, I just work as a helper, helping you. I will take as much as you give me. If you agree, it's settled. ”

With no hands and tendons, he doesn't want to take advantage of his friends, not to mention that he has no capital, which he knows.

Ma Xiaolu and Yu Xiaoming had no choice but to accept the "request" of the white hand.

After sending the two friends away, Shiroshou also figured out how to explain to his mother that he was going on a long trip to a place he had never been before.
