Fang Yulan's family of three, plus half of the two in-laws, is exactly two acres of land, excluding the seedling field, there is actually one acre and eight points of early rice.

Early in the morning, he led the second uncle, the second brother and the third brother with his white hands, and came to Fang Yulan's field with a cart and a rice boat.

Fang Yulan has been doing it herself for a while.

Tong Jiuyang was not there, and he was quite a master of the house with his white hands, so he asked his second uncle and two younger brothers to go to the field to cut rice, and ran to Fang Yulan's side by himself to fight side by side with her.

The rice threshing machine will not be able to take its turn until the afternoon, so it is also the Bai family's method yesterday, first cut the rice and put it on the river bank and the ridge, and after the rice threshing machine is in place, then carry the rice while threshing.

"Sister, have you been here for a while?"

"Well, an hour or so."

"Your family only has one acre and eight, and you can cut it today, so you don't have to do it so early."

"It's easy to finish early."

It's dawn.

While cutting rice with white hands, he kept looking at Fang Yulan.

Fang Yulan took her arm and pushed her white hand, "Don't do this." ”

"It's hard to work like this." White hand said with a shy face.

Fang Yulan moved away, deliberately keeping a distance from her white hand.

The white hands didn't dare to go too far, because in the surrounding rice fields, there were also many rice cutters, and it was not easy to get too close to Fang Yulan.

By half past eight, the second aunt had already dried the rice of the white hand, and the white rice and white snow also came to help.

In less than a morning, all eight acres of rice were cut down.

Fang Yulan invited the white hand and their family to her house for dinner, but of course they didn't go.

In the afternoon, it only took half of the time to finish the rice of Fang Yulan's family.

helped people to the end, and together with the second uncle, he also transported the rice of Fang Yulan's family home.

After two days of farm work, even his white hands were tired, he announced a half-day holiday, and he lay in bed for a morning.

In the afternoon, the second uncle and the second aunt were going home, and they were sent to the river port with white hands, and the second aunt was given a lot of cloth tickets first. When he arrived at the shore by shuttle boat, he quietly gave the second uncle a lot of cigarette and wine tickets, which made the second uncle smile.

Then he went to his own field, tied the straw with his white hands, one by one, tied it and then dried it on the riverbank.

This job is also tiring, and you have to have hand strength and skills, otherwise you won't be able to tie up the straw.

The white hand was busy until the time of the lamp, and finally finished tying up the straw.

Walking along the ridge to home, to the field of Fang Yulan's house, a person is tying straw.

When I got closer, it was Fang Yulan.

Fang Yulan is not easy, inside and out, she works alone, she has to dry rice during the day, and only after harvesting rice can she come out to bundle straw.

Without saying a word, he started to help on the other side.

Fang Yulan saw that she was white-handed, as if she was a matter of course, and did not speak.

"Sister, let me help you with the next job."

"Harrowing, paddling and transplanting, you have it all?"

"yes, I've got it all."

"Okay, I'll give you the money."

"You give the money, I don't do it."

Fang Yulan was a little tired, sat on the straw pile, and said with a smile: "You don't want money, I won't let you do it." ”

Looking around with white hands, to make sure that there was no one, he also came over and sat down beside Fang Yulan, "You give money, I won't do it." ”

Fang Yulan also raised her neck to see that there was no one, so she used her arm to push her white hand, "If you don't want money, you don't want money." ”

"Of course you can't ask for money." The white hand also used his arm to push Fang Yulan.

"You have to get the job done."

"Make sure you do your job well."

"You have to tell the truth."

"The facts are right in front of you."

Pushing each other, you come and go, pushing and shoving, pushing together, and making a ball.

……

On a new day, I have to go to the fields again.

Before the late rice is planted, the field must be prepared first, and if it is to be put on hold, it is necessary to let the oxen turn over the field first.

He didn't do it with his own hands, he didn't rent cattle, and no one invited him to rent cattle.

There is a tractor in the neighboring village, and it is directly raked with a rake, but after calculating an account with white hands, it costs ten yuan for one acre of land, and thirty yuan for three acres of field, which is really not worth it.

The white hand called the second brother and the third brother, pulled the board car, transported the water wheel to the field and set it up, and let the second brother and the third brother carry the water.

Along the riverbank, with a hoe, he checked and repaired all kinds of snake holes or yellow eel holes to prevent water leakage in Daejeon.

Tong Jiuchun and Tong Jiuxia, two brothers, are also starting from their own homes, and are pondering whether to rent cattle or hire tractors to harrow the fields.

The main reason is that the field mud is a little hard, and the rice roots of early rice are added, and the late rice seedlings are not easy to plant.

The hole was mended, the water was filled, and the white-handed brothers went home.

The two brothers of the Tong family wanted to ask, but they were embarrassed to speak, how to ask the hairy boy who had not dried up after decades of farming.

In the afternoon, carrying a light rake from the original production team, he appeared in the field again.

There are heavy harrows and light harrows, heavy harrows need cattle to pull, but light harrows only need a labor to pull.

The main function of light harrow is to flatten the soil in the paddy field, which is convenient for the planting of late rice seedlings.

It is said that rice planting pays attention to deep ploughing, and over the years, light harrows have rarely been used.

But the white hands did the opposite, throwing the light rake in the paddy field, and there was a round fixed wooden basin in the middle of the light rake, and the white hands took mud from the field and filled the wooden basin.

The white hand knotted the two thick hemp ropes of the light rake together, put them on his shoulders, and dragged the light rake unhurriedly in the rice field.

The two brothers of the Tong family also came, and they didn't know what to do, and while working, they paid attention to the white hand.

But I just can't see any fame.

The white hand is pulling the light rake and walking stupidly in the field, and the water in the field is stirred up and muddy.

The next day, he threw pig dung into the field with his own hands, and let his two younger brothers pull a light rake to wander around.

On the third day, the white hand actually did this trick, let the two younger brothers drive the water, fill the field to the full, and throw fertilizer into the field water with the white hand.

After throwing away the chemical fertilizer, he let his two younger brothers pull the light harrow in the field with his white hands, and he took the wooden rake of the rake valley and followed the light harrow, raking the muddy water in the field like a rake valley.

On the fourth day, Baishou and his two younger brothers actually transferred rice seedlings from the seedling field and transported them to the field to start transplanting the seedlings.

The Tong brothers really don't understand, can they plant seedlings? The two of them came and went down to the white-handed field, trampled on it with their feet, and probed with their hands.

The soil in the field was soft and loose as if it had been raked.

Tong Jiuchun sighed at Tong Jiuxia: "You and my brother have lived in vain for decades. ”

Tong Jiuxia shouted at the white hand not far away: "Xiaobai, how did you get this field?" ”

Bai Shou smiled: "My name is Bai's harrowing method, Uncle Jiuxia, you and I are in the field every day, you can see it." ”

"Just do that, you can make Tian like this?"

"Yes, when I was in agriculture class, the teacher talked about it, and it was also in the book. Constantly muddy the water will make the soil soft and loose, but it just takes a little more effort. ”

Tong Jiuchun asked, "Xiaobai, is it too late for us to do this?" ”

"Uncle Jiuchun, of course it's in time. Although I have worked hard, I can save dozens of yuan, which is equivalent to two or three hundred catties of rice. ”

The Tong brothers hurried back and did as the white hand said.
