Chapter 0488 The drought is coming

Wheat planting has finally begun.

One Changhe 100 carries three seeders.

There is one person standing on each seeder.

Fill the planting box with a mixture of wheat seed and base fertilizer in the field, and press two or three bags of seeds on the planter.

The driver drove out into the field.

The man standing on the seeder was quick, and when he saw that the planter was straightened, he put down the brake.

The planter's furrow expander will be lowered and plunged deep into the soil.

This furrow expander is two discs, the front side next to each other, and the back side apart.

When the furrow expander is inserted into the soil, as the tractor drags, the furrow expander will rotate in the dirt, pushing the soil to the sides, and a regular seeding furrow will appear in the middle.

The large iron wheels on both sides of the planter rotate and drive the gears in the planting box.

The wheat seeds and base manure are stirred into the seed hole by the gears.

The pipe was followed into the seeding furrow opened by the furrower.

The mulch behind the planter pushes the floating soil to cover the seeding furrow.

Compacted by rollers at the back.

In this way, the seeds and base fertilizer are sown in the ground.

As for the depth of sowing, it is adjustable.

The disc of the furrow expander has a bracket and a spring yellow on it.

If the bouncing jump is tightened, the furrow expander will be pressed deeper and the seeding furrow will be deeper.

If the elastic yellow adjustment is looser, the seeding furrow will become shallow.

However, you can be less than 5 cm in size.

Otherwise, the mulched floating soil will be blown through by the spring breeze, causing the soil and seeds to lose moisture at the same time.

The seeds will be powdered.

It can't sprout and grow.

If the sowing furrow is deep.

The seeds are close to the permafrost, the ground temperature is too cold, and they will not germinate, or the germination becomes late, which affects the ripening time of the wheat.

In addition, the consequence of being too deep is that the germinated wheat seedlings are covered with soil and cannot grow for a while, affecting its growth.

Of course, Lu Changhua does not need to do this kind of physical work by sowing seeds.

But Lu Changhua has not done it.

In his previous life, Lu Changhua had been working for five or six years.

Every year during spring sowing, he is the one who stands on the planter.

It's too hard and tiring.

It's even worse when it rains when sowing is planted.

There was muddy water all over his body.

Not only that, but you have to eat ashes.

Do you think, behind the tractor, can you not eat ashes?!

There is also a wave of people who are seeded.

The seeds are pulled to the fields, and people are waiting for the planters to come back.

As soon as you come back from planting, you will carry the seeds from the cart and pour them into the sowing box until it is full.

This is when there are enough people.

Sometimes, there aren't enough people.

Not only do you have to stand on the planter, but you also have to plant seeds yourself when you get to the ground.

This is a real sin.

Watch as the planter is full of seeds again.

Lu Changhua said to Zhang Lao Wu: "Give everyone some sour plum soup, this wind has dried up." ”

Zhang Lao Wu saw that the boss had spoken, so he hurriedly arranged for someone to make sour plum soup.

Most of the people who come out to work at this time are empty-handed, and no one will carry water glasses.

So, there is a time when it is only time to eat, you can drink water.

Lu Changhua feels that although the conditions of the farm are limited, the benefits that should be there must also keep up.

The sour plum soup doesn't cost much.

In just a few hours, someone brought in two stainless steel vats.

Lu Changhua saw that it was the grandson who was in charge of the machine well in the sub-field.

"Master Sun, you personally deliver sour plum soup."

"yes, I'm really not at ease when someone else sends me."

Lao Sun said with a smile.

Lao Sun's duty is to draw water once a week.

Fill the large pool in the well room.

In this way, the people in the field will be able to meet the demand for tap water.

Since spring, Lao Sun has also made sour plum soup to sell.

Lu Changhua was generous, and ordered two large barrels at one time, and Lao Sun must come in person.

At least show your face in front of Boss Lu.

"Drink."

Lu Changhua beckoned to the people present.

Lao Sun took out the plastic cup and poured it into the cup one by one.

Lu Changhua also took a cup, turned his back, and took a sip.

Well, sweet and sour.

"Master Sun, your craftsmanship is good!"

"Hehe, this is our water."

Lao Sun said modestly.

Lu Changhua didn't ask him in detail whether he used ready-made seasonings or made them himself.

That's not what he cares about, either.

Seeing that the seeder had returned, Lu Changhua said to Zhang Laowu: "Let them rest and drink saliva." ”

"Okay."

Zhang Lao Wu happily gestured to the tractor.

When the driver got to the field, he turned the car around, straightened the planter, and stopped.

"Come down and get some water and smoke a cigarette."

Zhang Lao Wu shouted.

The servant of the planter jumped down first.

Standing on the side crackling for a while, he walked over with big white teeth.

Lu Changhua took out a cigarette from the trunk, tore it open, and threw three boxes at the servants.

They reached out and took it, grinning.

He tore open the cigarette case and began to smoke.

Lu Changhua finished the cigarette, and then said, "It's hard work." Smoke a cigarette and drink water, and work without hurry. ”

Although everyone knows that the agricultural time has to be grabbed, this spring sowing work must be done quickly.

But after listening to the boss's words, my heart is hot.

They lit cigarettes, coughed up a mouthful of black phlegm, and then started smoking.

After waiting for more than ten minutes, another tractor also returned.

As a result, the land is even more lively.

Of course, Lu Changhua wanted to treat them equally, and he also gave them cigarettes.

After smoking two cigarettes, drinking two cups of sour plum soup, everyone added seeds, and the tractor roared again.

Pulling a long wave of smoke and dust, he drove straight into the distance.

While Lu Changhua was busy sowing seeds in plot six, Li Zhenguo came at a gallop on a motorcycle.

"Changhua."

"Secretary, you came just in time, drink a cup of sour plum soup, Lao Sun's craftsmanship is good."

Taking the cup handed over by Lu Changhua, Li Zhenguo dried it up.

He smacked his lips and said, "It's really good." Another drink. ”

Lu Changhua scooped a cup for him.

Li Zhenguo took a sip of the cup.

Then he said, "How are you doing here?" ”

"Okay."

"Where's your side?"

"I'm sowing seeds over there, too, and everything is normal."

Li Zhenguo paused for a moment and said: "It stands to reason that there will be a little rain at this time in previous years, but is there any movement this year?" ”

"What's the secretary anxious about? I'm waiting a few days to see. ”

People sometimes have good spirits but not bad spirits.

For a week in a row, the wheat in the field was sown, and it still rained.

Supposedly, that's nothing. In previous years, it didn't start to rain until May.

Usually at the end of April, there will be a few drops of rain.

Although it is now in the afternoon, it does not mean that there will be no rain in May.

The weather forecast doesn't say there is a drought!

But the wait was only after May 10th.

The soybeans on the farm have been sown, and it still hasn't rained.

If it weren't for the water melted by the snow, I'm afraid it would be impossible to say whether this seed would have sprouted.

At this time, not only is the wind strong, but the sun is gradually becoming hot.

Zhang Lao Wu came to find Lu Changhua.

"Boss, it hasn't rained yet, but it's very dry in the field."

"Is the wheat sprouting?"

"Some of them came out, and some of them didn't."

"It stands to reason that the temperature is enough, but it looks like a drought. Let's go and have a look in the field. ”

Lu Changhua took Zhang Lao Wu to the field.

Really.

Plot 6 has a faint green color.

But if you look closer, you will find that in some places the wheat seedlings have not come out.

Lu Changhua squatted in the ground and dug out the soil with his hands.

The floating soil in his hands is dry, and when the wind blows, it is a puff of smoke.

Look at the wheat seeds in the soil, they are already dry.

A few wheat seeds have been crumbled like flour.

They dug more than a dozen places in a row, and basically all of them.

"It's bad, it's drought."

It stands to reason that wheat sprouts in a week.

It's been 12 days since it was planted, and it's enough to sprout.

Now I have to find a way to replant.

"Let's go, go to the team site."

The two came to the team site in a hurry.

Li Zhenguo is not there at all.

When I asked, I found out that Li Zhenguo had gone to the field department for a meeting.

"Still in a meeting?"

Zhang Lao Wu was a little resentful.

"Maybe it's drought-fighting."

"Let's hurry up and water it."

Fortunately, Lu Changhua and the reservoir.

Although some water was put in some time ago, the melting snow water and spring water have also replenished a lot.

Zhang Lao Wu picked up the phone, called the driver, and quickly hung up the jug and watered the wheat.

Now there is no shortage of equipment on Lu Changhua's side.

It's not like when I started out with nothing.

When they rushed back to the reservoir, several Chang and 100 were pumping water by the reservoir with water tanks.

Pumping up the water, he hurried to the sixth place.

Lu Changhua and Zhang Lao Wu were already waiting on the ground.

Seeing them coming, he advised: "Spray slowly, we are spraying water, not spraying, mainly replenishing water, and lining up two kilometers per hour." ”

"Okay."

They are all old drivers, and they know how to do their job.

Soon they were lined up and sprayed in the middle of the ground slowly.

Lu Changhua followed behind the jug and dug up the floating soil that had been sprayed with water with his hands and looked at it.

"No, it's only a big centimeter wet. Stop it. ”

The tanker stopped again.

The drivers looked at the floating soil and said, "Boss, let's repeat the spraying for three cars, this will be better." ”

"Okay, that's it."

So three tractors lined up in front of and behind.

The first one is gone, the second one is on, the second one is gone, and the third one is on.

It took three repeated spraying of the soil to get wet.

"That's it."

"Let the tanker deliver water here."

Zhang Lao Wu went to arrange it.

Lu Changhua pinched the damp soil, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

Hopefully, this will solve the urgent need.

The three irrigation trucks are non-stop, spraying water 24 hours a day.

That night, Lu Changhua had just arrived home.

Li Zhenguo came running.

"Changhua, is there enough water in your reservoir, now you have to be rescued!"

"I know, I've already started to fill it here. You just pull. ”

"Okay, thank you. Still, don't worry. Never let your fish dry up. ”

"What about those cattle farmers?"

"What to do? Chilled salad! Those who have money buy water to drink, those who don't have money go to the ditch to drink, and the water in the reservoir is not enough for irrigation. ”

Li Zhenguo can no longer take care of any cattle farmers, and if grain production is reduced, his responsibility will be great.
