Chapter 80: Clever Little Eight
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, soybeans were woken up by the sound of firecrackers in the morning. But firecrackers won't let you sleep, and parents won't let their children sleep lazy on New Year's Day.
It is said that it is necessary to be lazy for a year to sleep lazily on the first day of the new year, which is definitely intolerable.
There was a sound of Huang Deyi running in the yard, and after Huang Delei set off the firecrackers, he went to the back of the yard and came in with a bundle of firewood. This is one thing that Huang Sanniang has to nag in advance every year, but it was Huang Laosan who used to hold firewood, but this year it was replaced by Huang Delei.
It is probably a symbol of good luck, and the firewood represents the wood and the red fire.
In the morning, Huang Sanniang cooked dumplings, and Huang Sanniang also specially wrapped three copper coins in the three dumplings.
It's like this every year, the kind of dumplings that have been marked, Huang Sanniang will not let people touch them, from the dumplings out of the pot to the table, she is in charge of the whole process alone, just to ensure that these marked dumplings are put in front of the people who should be released.
Ever since Huang Dou was three years old, she saw Huang Sanniang do this with her own eyes, putting the dumplings with copper coins in front of Huang Laosan, she scoffed at this kind of trick, the God of Wealth is so easy to fool?
However, Huang Sanniang doesn't think there's anything wrong with doing this, and in the local area, most housewives who know how to live carefully after all will do this.
The first one to eat was Huang Delei, everyone was very happy, and Huang Sanniang was even more smiling.
Huang Delei went to Dongyang County to open a goods store, saying that it was fake to say that he was not worried, but he was more expecting, hoping that he would go smoothly and make more money.
This year, he was the first to eat a copper coin, which is obviously a good luck.
The second one to eat was Huang Laosan, who washed the copper money and put it in his pocket: "I want to press my pocket and strive to earn more money to buy land for our beans this year." ”
"What field to buy for Doudou?" Huang Sanniang stopped her chopsticks and looked at Huang Laosan strangely.
"Buy land to cultivate improved seeds, and develop more high-yield and high-quality rice seeds, cereal seeds, and corn seeds." Huang Laosan replied with a smile.
"You." Huang Sanniang, who was celebrating the New Year, didn't want to say anything that was going to ruin the fun, so she swallowed back what she was going to say.
Huang Dou looked at the mother who wanted to speak and stopped, she didn't feel uncomfortable at all, Huang Sanniang is such a person, her son is the first, her husband is second, and her daughter is third, she is the most irrelevant.
In the future, this position may change, for example, Huang Delei and Huang Deyi get married and have children, and the position may become, the son is the first, the grandson is the second, and Huang Laosan is the third. Then there is the daughter-in-law, the daughter-in-law, and the constant is always that she herself always puts herself last.
This is a brainwashed traditional female spirit, which is deeply rooted, including Huang Dou herself, and she can't guarantee that when she gets married and has children, she will be the same as Huang Sanniang.
But one thing she can be assured of is that she is definitely not so patriarchal, this cannot exist for her.
Huang Laosan ate dumplings and said that he would buy land, which was indeed his heart's words. The family farms, docks, and shops, and his favorite is farming, and only when he stands on the land and holds the full fruit in his hands, his heart really feels steady.
The third one was Huang Deyi, but he was so happy that Huang Dou found a red rope for him to tie and hang it around his neck.
In the end, Huang Delei and Huang Laosan's two copper coins were coaxed away by him, and the three copper coins were hung around their necks together, and they jingled and rang when they ran. He didn't feel noisy either, and he was satisfied.
Huang Dou wanted to twist his ears, and he was not a fortune teller, who ran around the street with three copper coins every day.
In the afternoon, Huang Deyi's three copper coins were gone, and it is estimated that he and his friends were lost. Huang Dou was afraid that Huang Sanniang would nag, so he secretly tied three more copper coins to him and asked him to hand them over to his mother to put away.
Huang Deyi also felt that this was too much of a loss, so she took the three copper coins to buy snacks and came back to share them with her brothers and sisters. Huang Dou sighed: "This is a much smarter child than us, we were still too honest at the beginning." ”
This is a fact, whether it is Wenxiu's yellow peach, or the loyal Huang Delei, or soybeans, the first thought they have to get the New Year's money since they were young is to put it away for their mother.
And Huang Deyi no, he started from knowing that money could buy snacks, and Huang Sanniang didn't want to take the money in his hand again. He would put it away himself, and later handed it to the soybeans to buy him snacks.
The money collected was finally looted by Huang Sanniang, and a child collected money in those places. Huang Deyi has been looted a lot, and she has become smarter, and the next time she takes the money, she will give the third sister soybeans and ask her to help him collect or help him buy things.
Sometimes Huang Delei deliberately teased him and asked him to give the money to the third brother, and the third brother took him to buy something, or gave it to the second sister and asked the second sister to help him buy it. He has never been fooled, he knows that the only one who dares to be disobedient in this family is soybeans.
As long as he hands over the money to the soybeans, then the money is still his money. was accidentally snatched away by Huang Sanniang, and Huang Dou would also make up for him with a lot of money.
He didn't feel at ease when he handed it over to Huang Delei and Huang Tao, he saw Huang Delei and Huang Tao take the money and give it to Huang Sanniang, and Huang Sanniang was carefully locked in the box.
Huang Deyi is just smart but not stingy, as long as he can use his money, then whether it is his brothers and sisters to borrow or buy snacks to share with them, he is willing to do it.
He doesn't want other people's money, Huang Dou often puts a few pennies in the box on the table, Huang Deyi writes and plays in her room, and never takes her sister's money.
On the contrary, Huang Sanniang saw it and put it away directly, she felt that the soybeans had a big heart, how could the money be thrown away, and it was better for her to put it away.
Huang Dou thinks that such a child is a really smart child. Know what is your own, not stingy or greedy.
Huang Laosan went to the back mountain for a turn after eating, he was an idle person.
He is indeed looking for land for soybeans, and is preparing to experiment with wheat seeds with soybeans. Since his family's rice yield reached 500 catties, Huang Laosan's confidence is very strong.
Although the yield per mu of 500 mu is not stable, the rice seeds set aside by the Huang family can receive 350 yuan in other people's fields at worst, which was unimaginable before.
Huang Laosan planted wheat on the river beach for five years, and the harvest was good, and the yield was higher than usual, but it was not as high as the figure he was satisfied with.
The reason for the high yield is also because this tidal land is a former silt land, the land is fertile, as long as it is well protected, it will not be barren for more than ten years.
In addition to taking care of the shop in Xiangyang Mansion, the father and daughter spent most of their time increasing production. However, Huang Dou could not come up with a better method, she grew up in the countryside and only saw artificial seedlings, artificial transplanting, machine transplanting, hybrid rice......
As for more things, she didn't understand at all, all she knew was what she saw, and she hadn't even done it herself. Rice cultivation and planting in advance does increase the yield, but this yield is also limited, the reason why the yield of Huangjiatan is high is because the land is fertile, and it happens to meet the soybean planting method.
Otherwise, why did the Huang family's rice grow on other land, which is more than 300 normally, and the yield per mu is at most 412 catties, which is not 500 per mu of Huangjiatan land.
The soybeans were not satisfied with this yield, but all the people who bought the Huangjia rice seeds were very satisfied.
Seeing Huang Laosan plunging into the wheat field, the soybean could only shake his head, there is nothing wrong with Daddy being willing to experiment and cultivate, the preferred seeds themselves are indeed easy to increase the yield, but there are no chemical fertilizers and pesticides, and she doesn't know how to increase the yield of wheat!
Wheat seeds have always been sown and sown, and in modern times they are also sown. Fifty to fifty-five catties of seeds per acre of land, instead of seventy or eighty catties of seeds needed by the Huang family for one acre of land.
This soybean really didn't dare to experiment indiscriminately, saying that there were many seeds, and the seeds she had seen before had been cultivated, and now, all the seeds were still the most primitive.
She was afraid that she would be mistaken by being smart, seeing that Huang Laosan was so energetic in wheat cultivation, soybeans could only spread their hands, and she couldn't help much.
She was lucky to increase the yield of rice, because there was no planting method, and she had always sown seeds and sown the same as wheat. This soybean is known, sowing seeds with sowing fees, and the yield is not high, so she is confident to try planting, and the result is successful.
This year, Huang Dou made a suggestion to Huang Laosan, stay in the beach and plant rice wholeheartedly, don't grow wheat anymore, no matter how fertile the land is, it can't withstand this kind of exploitation of two seasons a year.
In order to have a high yield of rice, it is necessary to keep the tidal land fertile. Soybeans suggested that rice seedlings should be harvested to ensure that the straw is returned to the field as much as possible.
When the rice is harvested, the water channels of the field are sealed, and the river water is poured into it, the straw is flooded, and the original fertilizer is started. In this way, when the spring ploughing is next year, the grass seeds will not be easy to take root and sprout, and the land will be fertile.
Huang Laosan began experimenting with this proposal, so there was no wheat planted on the beach this year. The other four brothers of the Huang family didn't say a word, nor did they plant wheat, so they directly fertilized all the water on the beach.
I don't know if this method is right or not, Huang Dou and Huang Lao said that it is just an experiment and may not have an effect. However, they think it is feasible, after all, the cost of growing wheat is higher than that of rice, and the seeds are used more, and the requirements for fertilizer are also high.
The Huang family has a lot of land, and relying on that bit of human and animal manure is a drop in the bucket. The family also tries to use the biogas method to make fertilizer, but it is still not enough, the crops in the fields should be fertilized, the fruit trees in the mountains should be fertilized, including the half acre of vegetable garden behind the house!
A few years ago, I saw someone suffocating a soak of feces and urine for a little manure, for fear of wasting it in someone's manure pit. Soybeans will also give birth to a kind of idea, if I studied agriculture or what I studied at the beginning, and then soybeans don't want to think about it, people still can't confuse themselves.
Just like this wharf, if you let the soybeans choose now, maybe she will give up or not, let her father and mother farm well, let her brothers and sisters do some small business, what's wrong with a safe and happy family.
It's just that the current Huang family can't stop, people's hearts are dominated by desire, when there is no food and clothing, the family's wish is to be full and clothed, and then it becomes good to eat and dress well, and now, this primitive desire can no longer satisfy the old and young of the Huang family.
Even, including Huang Laohan......
