Chapter 413: Harvest Crops Early
Wu said this, Lin Dezheng was a little shaken, but he still hesitated, this is not an easy decision to make.
Several children were also on the side to help Siqi speak, Menghuan said, "Grandpa, Sister Siqi is smart, every time she comes up with a good idea, we can't think of it, I think Sister Siqi is right, otherwise let's listen to Sister Siqi." ”
Mengzhu doesn't usually talk much, but now she also helped Siqi and said, "Grandpa, Siqi is also for the good of the family, she must know that she can harvest a lot of food by doing this, so she said this, now that the fifth uncle has sent the seeds back, if we don't plant them, it will be a waste to put them there." ”
Lin Dezheng raised his head and looked at his sons, "You all talk about it, do you want to listen to Siqi, if you do this, we have to do it now, collect the serious disaster first, vacate the land to be used first, and leave the rest until May, what do you think?" ”
The Lin family has a total of about 40 acres of land, more than half of which is to be planted with rice, and the rest is less than 20 acres.
According to Siqi, it would take about thirteen acres of land to plant these things, so that most of the crops planted in the field would have to be harvested quickly.
Corn and potatoes are to be planted in the field now, and sweet potatoes will be planted until May, when the time comes, the vines will be cut and planted, so ten acres of land must be vacated now.
Lin Changyuan must have agreed, of course he wants to support his daughter, he knows about the old woman in Siqi's dream, so seeing that Siqi is so sure, he believes in his daughter.
Lin Changfu and Lin Changgui didn't know this, just like Lin Dezheng at this time, they were a little hesitant, thinking that she was indeed smart, they all knew this, but no matter how smart she was, she was just a twelve-year-old girl.
Even the crops are not under the ground, do you really know how to grow crops?
Could it be that on a whim, she thinks that these things can save her life, but in fact, she is not sure?
After thinking about it, Lin Changgui still decided to believe Siqi, if it wasn't for Siqi to give him ideas, he wouldn't have been able to make a fish cage, and even a lid, these are all the ideas of this little niece, she is indeed very smart, maybe she should really listen to her this time.
"Dad, I also want to hear about it, if there is a drought this year, even if we take back the crops in the field now, we won't be able to survive, and we have to go outside to grab food and come back."
"Since the results are all the same, we should do this now, in case the wind and rain are smooth and the crops are not affected, then we can still harvest a lot of grain in the field, and if these things are planted, even if the harvest is not so high, it will definitely be better than the ones in the field now."
Since Lin Changgui said so, Lin Changfu had no opinion, and he also nodded.
Since this is the case, Lin Dezheng has nothing to hesitate, and he slapped the table and decided, "Okay, this time let's listen to it, first vacate ten acres of land, and plant these important things quickly." ”
Siqi was very happy, and finally agreed, now that it is April, it will take a few days to vacate the land, if it is too late, the crops will not grow well.
Now she can't care about hiding herself from her family, anyway, just say what she has to say, smart is smart, this is not a derogatory term, it's not a big deal.
If you really can't say it, you will push it on her father, anyway, her father went out to wander a few years ago, and how can the family know what he saw outside, no matter how bad it is, he can still say that he asked the fifth uncle for advice.
Now everyone is taking care of the crops in the field, hoping to harvest a little more grain, but the Lin family is unusual, and they actually start to harvest the crops.
Even Gu Pingzhang was at a loss, he met Lin Dezheng on the road, and pulled him to ask, "What are you doing here, what can you recover from the harvest now?" Isn't that a waste of things? ”
Lin Dezheng was also tired from work, put down the flat pole and wiped his sweat, and said with a smile, "Second brother doesn't know, the day before yesterday, the fifth child came back from the south to get some seeds, I thought that this field was like that, it is better to plant those things while it is not too hot on this day." ”
"Second brother, you can see the year very accurately, you said that this year's drought, I have been thinking about it in my heart, I am afraid that it has really come to that point, I still have to prepare early, the family discussed it, and it was settled, and the land was vacated quickly."
When Gu Pingzhang heard this, he was not so worried, and nodded with a smile, "Okay, since it was brought back by the fifth child, it must be a good thing, and look at how it will be this year." ”
There are still a lot of people in the village who don't understand, and some of them speak harshly, and it's really uncomfortable to listen to them, but the Lin family didn't say much, anyway, they just worked with their heads bored.
In the past few days, everyone in the family has gone to work in the fields, and they have to pull the crops and turn over the fields, which is still a lot of work.
The silkworm seeds have also been bought, and this has to be taken care of, thinking about it is regretful, I knew that the seeds were brought back so early, and I should have taken the silkworm seeds later, and now I am busy at both ends.
Wanrong and Siyao stayed at home, and they didn't do embroidery work these days, in addition to taking care of Zichen and cooking, the two of them also had to help take care of silkworms.
The whole family went to work in the field, and they did it very quickly, and after vacating a few acres of land, Siqi began to order corn with Wu and others.
The corn should be sparse, otherwise it will grow taller and not spread out in the future, which will affect the yield, so that only four or five catties of seeds are needed for one acre of land.
But in the previous life, when planting corn, the corn seeds were carefully selected, so it was necessary to save some, and now these seeds are directly taken back and used, and more is lost to ensure the germination rate, so one acre of land has to use six or seven catties, and Lin Changqing asked people to send back the dozens of catties of the most kinds of seven acres of land.
Potatoes also have to be planted in a hurry, and sweet potatoes have to be planted in pits all of them.
These are all new crops, and I haven't been exposed to them at home before, so I just understand how to grow them, so I need her help everywhere, and it's good to teach them.
After five days of drying, all the seeds were planted, and the crops recovered from the field were still piled up in the yard, and they had to be cleaned up slowly.
In the past few days, everyone is completely rushing for time, everyone is very tired, Lin Changyuan has a lot of strength, and he works fast, so he contributes the most, even he begins to complain, not to mention the children, one by one, like frosted eggplants.
