Chapter 30 "Spring Sowing Begins"

The sun is turning in the beginning of spring, and the rain is along the river. The crow crows crow, and the ground is dry at the equinox. Qingming is busy planting wheat, and Gu Yu is planting fields.

Gu Yu is the busiest day for farmers. The villagers of Qingshan Village are no exception, they are all busy in the fields. Some are planting rice, while others are sowing dry fields. And the quiet home is different from other people's homes, they are planting seedlings.

What they planted was the yam seedlings she had dug up from the mountains. There was a small patch of this yam seedling in a small col, and it took three or four days of quiet digging to dig up all the seedlings. In fact, Quiet doesn't know how this yam should be planted? But in the previous life, there were people who cultivated yams, and the yield was very high, and the income was not good. Besides, she thought that this yam could grow well in the forest without anyone tending to it, so planting it in the ground, no matter how carefully tending to it, it shouldn't be too bad, right? The four sisters and brothers work together, quietly planing the pit, the two little guys hand the seedlings, and plant the seedlings with peace of mind, and the four sisters and brothers can plant an acre of land every day. It took five days to plant all these yam seedlings.

The bag of sweet potatoes I bought in the town had been raised a few days ago, and now the sweet potato seedlings have come out and are beginning to divide the vines. The potatoes also sprouted, and the potatoes were cut into small pieces. Corn, peanuts and soybeans have all sprouted and are now planted in the ground. One acre of corn, half an acre of peanuts and half an acre of soybeans were planted.

Time passed quietly in the hustle and bustle, and it was the middle of April in a blink of an eye. Today, the four sisters and brothers of the An family went to the field to plant potatoes with hoes and baskets. Growing potatoes is relatively easier and easier than planting seedlings. Two hoes are quiet and peaceful, dig a pit 20 centimeters apart in the soft soil, throw the sprouted potato plants into it, and lay the soil with your feet. A bag and a half of potatoes were planted, and the four sisters and brothers planted them in less than a day. There are still three acres of land left, and after a few days, the sweet potato seedlings will be planted, and they will have planted the ten acres of land.

The people in the village saw that the four sisters and brothers of the An family went to work in the fields every day, and when they inquired, they found out that these orphans had bought ten acres of land. Although it was all sandy land, the villagers were still shocked. In just one month, I actually earned ten acres of land, you must know that although this sandy land is one or two silver per acre, ten acres of land also cost ten taels of silver. From not eating a single grain to saving ten taels of silver in just one month, this is not something that ordinary people can do. I have to say that this girl is really capable.

When people here grow potatoes and sweet potatoes, they all choose a small one as a seed, and plant the whole one in the ground, and the planting is very dense, so the yield is not high. Because the seeds are used a lot and the yield is low, there are very few people who plant sweet potatoes, even if someone plants them, that is, they plant one and a half acres and keep them as a vegetable. And most of the people in the village grow rice, but of course there are also dry fields, most of which are wheat, sorghum, corn and millet. And the people here, whether they grow paddy fields or dry fields, only grow one season. And no matter what you plant, not only do you not germinate, but you also like to sprinkle more seeds. As everyone knows, if this kind of seed is sown too much, the seedlings that come out are too dense, and the yield will not only not increase, but will decline on the contrary. Moreover, this kind of seed is the most critical step in planting, and excellent seeds must be selected in order to produce good seedlings and good yields.

Although Jing Jing has never planted in two lifetimes, he has also seen others plant, so he has promoted the germination of everything that should be sprouted early, and the seedlings that should be raised have been seedling.

At first, when the people in the village saw a few children farming, they didn't pay much attention to it. After all, there are only ten acres of sandy land, and there is nothing to grow. Later, when someone saw them, they were digging a pit, so they ran to the field curiously and looked at it, and found that they had cut the potatoes into small pieces and planted them. It's just nonsense. Others think that they may not be able to afford the seeds, so they do so.

What the people in the village are talking about, the quiet sister and brother don't know, because the four sisters and brothers are planting sweet potato seedlings these days. Three acres of land, planted for two and a half days, finally planted. At this time, the villagers, who were still talking about the quiet sisters and brothers, finally realized that something was wrong. This field has been planting for the first two days, why did I see that the sweet potato seedlings have grown so tall this morning?

So people talked about it, some people didn't believe it, and they went to the field to take a look, and it was indeed sweet potato seedlings. Now the quiet home has become a visiting area, and you can see the villagers who come to visit every day. Finally, someone couldn't help but run to ask Quiet, Quiet told everything he knew, without a trace of concealment, as for believe it or not? That's not her business. However, after Uncle Bolt and the old village chief came to see it, they said to Jing Jing that they would also teach them how to promote taro and raise seedlings when they planted the land in the coming year. Quietly, he naturally agreed.

In the past ten days, the four sisters and brothers have been tired, first to prepare the land and loosen the soil, then to fatten, then to plant, and now it is finally over. If you want to talk about this fattening, it was enough to embarrass the four sisters and brothers at that time. Because there are few people and there are no livestock to raise, there is almost no fertilizer. In the end, I quietly thought of a way to go to the mountains to pick soil as fertilizer. The soil on the mountain is very fertile because of the decay of the fallen leaves and the dung of animals. It is just right to use it as fertilizer. Jing Jing didn't know at this time, because of her small move, the soil on the mountain in the next spring was shoveled layer by layer by the people in the village.

Although the four siblings were so busy these days that they were so tired that they couldn't straighten their waists, and there were blood blisters on their hands and feet, the children were still very happy. Thinking that these lands are their own, the food they grow is for their own family to eat, and those that can't be eaten can be exchanged for money, and I feel that I have endless energy.

Perhaps God saw the hardships and hardships of the four siblings, and could not bear to disappoint them, so when they finished planting, from the next day, it began to rain lightly.

All to the spring rain is as expensive as oil. This expensive light rain has been raining for three days before it clears up. People came out of their homes and went into the fields to check on the situation. It didn't matter, they found another phenomenon that surprised them. The corn and peanuts planted in the quiet house have sprouted small seedlings. Even the potatoes that they talked about all the time have grown seedlings, and they are still growing strong. Then they picked up the seeds they had planted in the ground, and they were just germinating.

Jing Jing was hoeing grass in the vegetable field in front of the courtyard at this time, and the small vegetables planted a few days ago have now sprouted. The tender green and tender green vegetable seedlings look very gratifying. If it's quiet, I'll go around here, hoping that they will grow up quickly. This month is either stewed pheasant or stewed hare, really a little green can not be seen, although also dug wild vegetables to eat, but after all, it is a wild vegetable, no matter how to get there is a bitter taste. Gradually, it became quiet, and he stopped bringing wild vegetables to eat. Now that the small vegetables she planted have sprouted, and she can eat them for another month, how can she not be happy?
