Chapter 61: Spring Ploughing (1)

"Congratulations to my sister for getting a precious son!" Xiaolian was a little happy, but also a little lost, thinking that she had to hurry up and give birth to a baby, not to give birth to seven or eight, and she would have no face to see people.

"Sister, you have to hurry up, wait for your good news." Yin Lihua stretched out her pink fist to cheer Xiaolian on.

Deng scolded with a smile: "You Nizi, you love to mess around!" ”

When Xiaolian saw Yin Lihua say this, her face was immediately red, and the two thieves looked a little aggrieved with big eyes, always glancing at Liu Xiu.

See what I'm doing?

Liu Xiu muttered in his heart.

"Brother, you see that people are always looking forward to you coming. My sister is pregnant, and it is inconvenient for me to be in my room. Xiaolian wants to say that she is ashamed.

It's almost plain to say.

Poof! Liu Xiu couldn't hold it back, and saliva squirted out.

"I'll wait for you." Xiaolian walked a few steps and turned back to him.

Liu Xiu had no choice but to give her a wink and make an OK gesture.

"Zhuang'er, can you hear your father calling you?" Liu Xiu was half-squatting, her face pressed against Yin Lihua's belly.

"It's all a person who wants to be a father, why are you so erright?" Yin Lihua couldn't help but say angrily.

"It's not two, it's a father's love for his son." After Liu Xiucai finished speaking, she saw that Yin Lihua's stomach seemed to move.

It's too exaggerated, it's impossible.

It hasn't been long since I was conceived, and it is estimated that it has only been a month and a half, and this fetus has grown up eating oxytocin.

"Zhuang'er, my mother gave birth to you in October, and I will hurt my mother in the future. If your father is bullying me, you will beat him. Yin Lihua instilled the fetus with the filial piety of the father and the son.

"Zhuang'er, your mother likes to talk back. The two of us should form a front alliance and unite with the outside world. Liu Xiu put her ear on her belly.

Sure enough, the fetus's response came: Uh-huh...

......

Seeing that the end of March was coming to an end, Liu Xiu couldn't sit still anymore, saying goodbye to the affection and love with his wife and concubine, and talking sweetly.

Liu Xiu took Zhu You to guide agricultural production in the field.

At this time, there is no chemical fertilizer and urea, and the fertilizer comes from organic fertilizer, such as plant ash, cattle, sheep and pig manure, which is mixed with the soil and composted.

Fertilizer is okay, but the headache is the irrigation of crops such as seedlings.

There is no water for irrigation, which is a problem.

Not only for agriculture, but also for ordinary people, it is difficult to get water for their daily lives.

Basically, relying on manpower, he ran to Huang Chunshui's side to shoulder the burden, and swayed back and forth to the bottom.

Liu Xiu can only call on everyone to build the canal together, and plans to lead the canal from Huangchunshui, with a total length of 1.7 kilometers, a width of 1.1 meters, and a height of 1.5 meters.

This is pure physical work, Liu Xiu practiced himself, took the lead and rushed to the front, facing the loess with his back to the sky, sweating profusely.

"Uncle Wen, the progress is too slow, if you continue to do this, the water source will not be solved, and the crops that have been sown will probably die." Zhu You was worried.

If this is the case, this year's harvest will have to be lost.

"yes, I feel it too. But you see everyone is working hard, and you can't force people to death. Liu Xiu said, glancing at the farmer who was waving his farm tools.

For the irrigation of crops, the villagers are also full of energy.

However, after most of the day, only 250 meters were dug, and this progress was not in time for irrigation, and all the crops were basically yellow.

When everyone was at a loss, Zhu You suddenly pointed to a ridge and said, "Look, who's coming?" ”

"It seems to be Boqing, why is he here, it won't be..."Liu Xiu thought of a possibility.

Ren Guang brought people to support!

Sure enough, under the leadership of Ren Guang, a force of 2,000 people quickly assembled, each with a tool in hand, and an order, and devoted himself to the great cause of repairing the canal.

"Uncle Wen, Zhong Xian, can I come in time?" Ren Guang asked with a smile on his face.

"Yo, it's timely, it's really timely, it's more punctual than Song Jiang in time, just right." Liu Xiu was grateful, and after seeing Ren Guang, she gave a big hug.

"Uncle Wen, when did you become so polite? Who is Song Jiang in Timely Rain? Ren Guang was stunned for a moment, and then asked with some puzzlement.

"A man who is more timely than timely rain." Liu Xiu said this, feeling very embarrassed.

"If only it could rain." Zhu You looked at the celestial phenomena and touched a handful of dry soil.

"You can beg for rain." Ren Guang said with a smile.

"You think I'm a Taoist priest, and I still beg for rain... Alas, it seems to be really raining. As soon as Zhu You touched his cheeks, droplets of water began to drip down.

"It's really raining."

"Zhong Xian's mouth has been opened, and it will rain when he says it will rain."

"I think the rain should be given to Zhong Xian."

"That's right!"

Liu Xiu and Ren Guang quipped.

A drizzle, moisturizing things silently, fell too timely.

The peasants were all smiles on their faces.

After this rain, repair the ditch, and then loosen the soil and weed the crops, the growth will definitely be good.

The rain fell for a moment and a half, and then stopped.

"The rain has stopped, so it's time to start. Everyone, work hard, finish the work before the sun goes down. Liu Xiu walked into the middle of the crowd, and everyone had great respect for Liu Xiu, whether it was a soldier or a peasant.

Liu Xiu was the first to go down to the ditch, and he did his work with a clear eye and spared no effort.

"Roar, how about repairing the canal, ah! Swing the shovel, ah! For whom, ah! For the sake of food and clothing for the people, ah! To celebrate the harvest in the coming year, ah! "I don't know which talented big brother leads everyone to work and shout at the same time.

Liu Xiu listened to it and hummed with them.

More than 2,000 people worked together in a grand scene, the sound of the horn shook the sky, I have to say that there are still many people with great strength, and the speed of digging ditches has been accelerated by many times.

By the time the sun went down, the ditch was 98% complete.

"Brothers, it's time to sprint!" Ren Guang almost shouted out.

He didn't speak loudly and couldn't hear it at all.

"Whew!" Everyone roared again and again.

Work harder.

As evening approached, a brand new ditch ran from Huang Chunshui to the ridge.

All the crops are irrigated with water, and the green leaves stretch out like a smiling face.

"What is the hard work of draining?" After the work was over, Liu Xiu suddenly came to Shixing, and couldn't help but chant the first sentence.

Zhu You thought for a while and said, "Just because the people are looking forward to a good year." ”

"The mountains and rivers, the sun and the moon were magnificent." Ren Guang continued to chant.

"It's not as good as Shennong in Kyushu." Liu Xiu said the last sentence.

"Good!" Zhu You and Ren Guang were amazed.

It is said that Liu Xiucai is eight buckets high, and when he sees it today, he lives up to his name.

The people were grateful, and they kowtowed to Liu Xiu and gave courtesy.

"It's really the world's Shennong!"

"The kid didn't dare to do it, he just did what he had to do." Liu Xiu returned the salute.

Industrialists, merchants, scholars, and farmers are all people of the Han Dynasty, and there is no distinction between high and low.

Liu Xiu treats everyone equally.

Even the old peasant, the weight in his heart is heavier.

For thousands of years, farmers have made great contributions and sweated to stabilize their jobs.

A ploughing cow, a field, a broken clothes, and a lonely mound carry the hope and hardship of farmers for generations!
