Chapter 162: Farming is hard

The ginseng land is a big ridge, and in the terminology of the ginseng industry, it is called the button pond face.

In the past, when the ginseng soil was not valuable, the surface of this pool, that is, the width of the ridge was about seven or eight feet.

The ditch between the ridges is called the horse path, and in the old days, the horse path was also very wide, and it was not difficult for people to walk in it.

When buying and selling large pieces of ginseng land, the unit of measurement is generally used, and the ginseng land is from two or three thousand yuan per land at the beginning, and can be sold for more than ten or two hundred thousand yuan in the end.

As the land became more and more valuable, people began to use their brains to narrow the horse road to save land, and later even the pond was narrow, and the narrowest one was only five feet.

At present, the surface of this pond is still full of width, seven or eight feet, and three ridges are just broken with a ploughstick, and the person with a pickaxe digs a hole directly on the ridge.

In order to save trouble, simply straddle the middle of the ridge, three ridges together to dig the pit, the back of the seed is also, the three ridges together to plant, step together, a trip to pass.

Of course, working like this is very tiring, much more tiring than a single ridge.

Han Liwei, Han Lixin, and Liu's concubines, plus Jiang Junlin and Old Man Han were digging holes with pickaxes in front.

The children carried small baskets or cloth bags, planted some seeds in the pit, and then used their feet to pick some soil and cover the seeds in the pit and step on them.

Zhou Lili, Jiang Juntao, Han Zhenan, and Han Zhenhui are all older, and they are quick to work, they are all guarding the three ridges alone, and they just follow the planting all the way.

The rest of the children are all too young to keep three ridges alone.

So Zhenhui and Jiang Junqi were in a group, Zhenyuan was in a group with Zhou Yanyan, Chang Yanzhe led Zhou Tiantian in a group, and the two of them guarded the three ridges, so they wouldn't be too tired.

Zhou Tiantian is still young and doesn't work so fast, so Chang Yanzhe only asked her to keep one ridge to keep up, and the other two Chang Yanzhe watched.

Planting beans generally requires close spacing, throwing four or five seeds in a pit, and then covering the soil and stepping on it.

Zhou Tiantian only guarded one ridge better, just stepped on the ridge with one foot, and the other foot in the ditch, while planting in the pit, just step on it and move forward.

It is Chang Yanzhe who has to take care of both sides of the two ridges, which is a little troublesome, but Chang Yanzhe works very quickly, looking at the two ridges, he didn't let Zhou Tiantian fall at all.

The two of them chatted casually while ordering seeds, and with Zhou Tiantian by their side, they didn't think this mechanical action was so unacceptable.

It didn't seem to take long for this big ridge to come to an end, and then it turned around and planted another ridge, and by the time this ridge was planted again, it was already half past nine.

Zhou Tiantian felt that her throat was dry, so she ran to the ground to get the kettle. "Brother Yanzhe, do you drink water?" Zhou Tiantian drank a few sips of water and felt that his throat was much more comfortable, so he handed the kettle to Chang Yanzhe.

After half a morning's work, Chang Yanzhe also felt that his throat was smoking, so he took the kettle and drank a few sips.

"How? Tired or not? If I'm tired, I'll go to the ground and rest for a while, and I'll just follow by myself. ”

Chang Yanzhe looked at Zhou Tiantian's little face a little red from the wind and sun, and there were beads of sweat on his forehead, knowing that this baby must be tired.

The nine-year-old baby, working with them, is really difficult for her.

Zhou Tiantian shook her head, "It's okay, you can hold on, you don't need to rest, let's hurry up and work, such a large piece of land, it may not be able to be done in three days." ”

Tired must be tired, especially when she only guards one ridge, this one foot is high and one foot is low, and the leg that tramples on the soil is hard and sore.

But this is her own work, she doesn't do it herself, but lets the helper keep working with her head down? How can this be true?

Zhou Tiantian said, and went back to the field, but one leg was a little difficult, and walking looked a little awkward.

Chang Yanzhe noticed it and knew that this baby must be uncomfortable on one leg, so after thinking about it, he pulled Zhou Tiantian to the other side and asked her to step on the soil on another leg.

"The little girl is not big, she is really strong." Chang Yanzhe muttered.

Zhou Tiantian didn't hear it, took the basket in his hand, grabbed a handful of seeds, sprinkled them in the ground, and stepped on the soil while planting them. This is on the other side, and it can be a little more energetic.

They began their work at less than seven o'clock in the morning, and did not stop until half-past eleven in the afternoon, "All right, stop and rest, go back to dinner, and continue in the afternoon." ”

It's noon, the children must be hungry, it's better to eat some food and rest and rest, no matter how much you work, you can't starve the children.

The children are running and jumping and boxing at most on weekdays, and this work is two different things, this morning everyone is also tired not light, as soon as I heard about the break, I saw a few monkey children jumping to the ground.

"It's finally time to eat, oh mom, I'm starving, I got up too early in the morning, I got in the car after eating a little food, and my stomach was empty at this time."

Half-size children eat poor old men, this is not true at all, these half-sized children are like carrying hungry pockets for a day.

If you don't do anything, you're hungry all day long, not to mention that you haven't stopped working this morning, it's really hungry with your chest sticking to your back, so you rushed to Old Man Han's residence one by one.

Old Man Han, Han Liwei and the others all smiled when they saw this, "It's still young and good, you see, I've been doing all morning's work, and I'm still so lively."

It's like my old arms and legs, oops, it's really a little sore back. Old Man Han rubbed his waist and said enviously.

"Grandpa, you're not old at all, you're young, look how tough you are, like a young man."

Zhou Tiantian didn't go wild with his brothers, but slowly followed, and then went over to help the old man, and helped beat the old man's waist with his little hands.

Old Man Han was even happier when he was coaxed by Zhou Tiantian, and laughed, "People have to obey the old, your grandfather is a person who counts to seventy, how tough can he be?"

I, ah, just thought, while I can still move, and then bring these people in the family to earn a little more.

When this round of contracts expires, I just save some money and keep it for some business, and I will go home and enjoy my happiness. ”

Mr. Han is sixty-six years old this year, and this round of contract period is five or six years, waiting for the expiration of the period, and he happens to be in his seventies, and he should go home to enjoy his old age.

Chang Yanzhe has a steady temperament, so naturally he will not follow Han Zhenhui and the others to run up and down.

He had been following Zhou Tiantian all the time, and when he heard the conversation between Old Man Han and Zhou Tiantian, he glanced at Old Man Han.

The old man has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and his body is strong, but he was injured a few times when he was young, and after all, he left some problems, and now that he is getting older, he will inevitably feel a little uncomfortable.

This is also the old man Han's good physique, if he changes to ordinary people, he is in his sixties, how can he still work in the mountains?

Chang Yanzhe pondered as he walked, should he prepare some medicine to recuperate his body for Old Man Han?

But he lacked a few precious medicinal materials in his hand, and it was not easy to find it, so he could only find it slowly.
