Just when we were in full swing in the fields, we attracted some lively and ill-intentioned villagers, who were either squatting or standing on the ridges, watching us old people planting rice together. Some villagers went up to see the rice seedlings we had raised, and they talked cool about them.

"Lao Lu, why doesn't the rice seedlings you raised look inspiring, don't be blind when you plant them like this."

"This rice seedling is a little smaller, you have to master the depth of the water, or you will be busy in vain if you don't invade your heart."

"Lao Lu, you are also an old crop, why are you still messing around with these city people, such a small seedling is transplanted into the field, don't you wait for it to grow? It's not too late to plant it when you grow up in a few days. ”

"It's Lao Lu, I heard that your family's more than 10 acres of land are also going to be planted at this time? You can think about it, your family's rations for the coming year will depend on those more than 10 acres of land. ”

In short, it means that the transplanted seedlings in our family are too small and too weak, and I am afraid that they will not survive, even if they live, they will not be able to do more when they are harvested in the future, and in the end it will be in vain.

When my sister-in-law heard everyone say this, he replied even more.

"We have several college students here, these rice seedlings are new varieties that have been researched and cultivated to resist drought and waterlogging, and adapt to the current weather environment, what do you know?

Our family is responding to the call of the country's spring ploughing, starting early, arranging early, and actively doing a good job in the preliminary work of rice transplanting, so as to lay a solid foundation for this year's scientific planting of rice, high and stable yield of rice fields and guarantee of planting area. ”

The people on the ridge listened to the words of the little sister-in-law and thought that the little brother-in-law was telling a joke. They all burst out laughing.

There were also some experienced old farmers in the crowd, picking up a bundle of rice seedlings on the ridge of the field and observing them carefully. Then he said: "Don't say it yet, what Lu Qing said may be true." Although this seedling is small, but this root is strong, and it has reached the tillering stage, as long as it is transplanted, pay attention to the depth of water, and be careful at the beginning. It should be able to live, but I don't know what the yield is. ”

After the people on the ridge finished laughing, several young people offered to help with rice planting. We can't ask for anything like that.

After all, there are many people with great strength, and they are all skilled rice planters, unlike us who are now learning and selling, so with them joining us, the speed of rice planting is much faster.

A morning of time. My sister-in-law, they took us like this, and they also dealt with it, and they planted all the 18 acres of paddy fields in our family.

It's noon. As soon as the young people who helped heard that we were going back to eat, they hurried out of the paddy fields and wanted to go back to their homes.

How could we let the people who came to help just leave, this is the time when we got closer to the people in the village, Chen Ming just said it to Jiang Zhi in private. These young people are all more willing and pragmatic in the village. Jiang Zhi likes such people, so he doesn't let them go. The rule is that if you come to help with a meal at noon, you must come to our house to eat at noon.

A few young people want to live a difficult life now, this winter the family is living a tight life, thrifty, don't want to do such a little work to go to our house to eat and drink, but see that our family is sincerely invited to them, and it is not hypocritical, so there are more than 30 people who go home at noon.

I couldn't sit down in the living room, so I set up three tables in the yard, and our little daughters-in-law didn't dare to rest when they went home, so we hurriedly went into the kitchen to help Jiang Ma and Aunt Liang serve food outside, a table of 12 dishes, chicken, duck and fish, all kinds of chicken, duck and fish, and the plates were full of tables.

When Chen Ming and Qin Hanbin saw such a sumptuous meal, they began to scream, "Brother Jiang, your family's table is too hard, and this standard of living is too good, I haven't eaten meat a few times this winter, I can get it today, I have to eat a good meal." ”

Jiang Zhi listened to Chen Ming's words and said with a smile: "You can let go of your stomach and eat today, although the dishes are not many but the amount is large, we can eat enough today."

These meats are all stored in the ice cellar last year, isn't it that everyone is working hard to plant rice today, how do you have to prepare some good rewards to treat everyone, this meal at noon will not give everyone a drink to drink, there is still a piece of land to dry in the afternoon, and so on in the evening, we are having a good drink. ”

At noon, everyone ate quickly and full, and then took a short rest, and then went to the paddy field of my sister-in-law's house to start planting seedlings, and the young people who helped in the village were even more embarrassed to leave after eating our meal, and helped us to plant all the seedlings in the afternoon.

In addition to planting 30 acres of land for our family and my sister-in-law's family, the seedlings in the greenhouse were planted for Aunt Qin's family about 4 acres. Originally, I wanted Aunt Qin and Aunt Guo's family to divide it equally, but Uncle Guo was not very optimistic about our seedlings and didn't dare to joke about his own land, so he refused very tactfully. Of course, we can't force others, we are kind, if they don't accept it, forget it, our hearts are good.

Qin Hanbin saw that the old Guo family didn't want the seedlings we gave, so he jumped out and shouted: "Brother Jiang, give me all the remaining seedlings from your family, you see that our family has turned over 4 acres of paddy fields, and it is just right to plant these." ”

Jiang Zhi asked him with a smile: "Have you thought about it, my family's seedlings are not even optimistic about an experienced person like Uncle Guo, you have to think clearly, and my brother is on it, so I will be blind to these 4 acres of land, but I can't harvest anything in the autumn." ”

Qin Hanbin heard Jiang Zhi say this, and replied with a straight face: "I know this, but I believe Brother Jiang, your family's 18 acres of fields dare to plant, my family's little paddy field is nothing compared to yours, and my family still has several acres of paddy fields, don't be afraid." ”

Dad Jiang also reminded Qin Hanbin on the side: "You have to discuss with your father, but you can't decide on your own, or when you go back, your father will have to beat you with a broom." ”

"Uncle Jiang, don't worry, my dad listens to me, I will plant whatever I say, he will definitely have no opinion." Qin Hanbin waved his hand, and the matter was decided. Chen Ming muttered something next to him, probably he also wanted it, but he couldn't be the master at home, so this time he would be cheap Qin Hanbin and so on.

Therefore, we later planted the remaining seedlings in Aunt Qin's rice field.

At more than 5 o'clock in the afternoon, it was not yet dark, and all the seedlings were planted, so Jiang Zhi took everyone back to our house for dinner.

As soon as it was dark, tables were set up in the yard, and several large 100-watt light bulbs were lit around the yard to illuminate the yard. (On the third day after the village chief's meeting, the village was connected to electricity.) ）

In the evening, this meal Jiang Ma and they prepared a particularly sumptuous meal, originally we planned to plant rice seedlings how to take 2 days to finish, but there were many people who came to help, we finished it in one day, this is to complete the task ahead of schedule, so everyone is very happy.

At dinner, Jiang Zhi took out four bottles of one-pound Wuliangye, and made the few young people sitting there hungry as if they were hungry, and the old people drank the liquor we brewed in the space.

A meal is the pleasure of the guests and hosts, the young people eat and drink together, the relationship will come up after a while, just look at the few young people who came to help, they were quite shy when they ate at noon, and after a glass of two and a half of white wine in the evening, Brother Jiang and Brother Li kept shouting.

"Brother Jiang, your family is really good, it's not at all like the people in the village rumored." It was Zhang Fanyu, the youngest son of the old Zhang family at the entrance of the village, who spoke.

I sat down at the table next to me, and when I heard him talk about this topic, I quickly answered, "What do the people in the village say about our family?" ”

Zhang Fanyu looked back at me and said, "Sister-in-law, it's just a rumor, it's not credible, don't be angry when I say it." ”

"I'm not angry, just say it." I'd love to hear what the people in the village have to say about us.

"Actually, it's nothing, it's just that as soon as you came back, you took back the house that Li Feng borrowed so strongly, and you used your hands and knives, so that the whole village knew that the village chief was not good in front of you, and some people in the village said that your family was too domineering, this is the person who looks down on us in the mountain village, saying that we will govern your family together in the future, and you city people can't be too arrogant in the village."

When Chen Ming heard us talk about this topic, he said to us like a joke: "Do you know how your family is spread in the village?" Some people say that your family is a family that only enters but can't leave, and if someone wants to take advantage of your family, you can take a knife and drive it out of two miles, and your family is too impersonal in the city, and the people in our village are not all the way. ”

After I heard Chen Ming say these words, I asked him, "You have heard these things a long time ago, why have you never told us about them?" ”

"What are you talking about, it's not true, you are still angry when you hear it."

Zhao Kai, a young man next to him, also said: "Actually, it was passed on by Lao Li's family in the village, and we all know what their family is like, so most of what they say is pulled down after listening to it." ”

Jiang Zhi thought about it, then picked up the wine glass and said, "I guess everyone's impression of our family is because our family wants a house." We are indeed a little anxious in this matter, but we did have difficulties when we first came, and his old Li family is not really short of a house, or bullied us as new, and does not want to return the house happily. As for what kind of family our family is, I don't want to explain too much, I say that we will see people's hearts for a long time, so we will have strengths and good products in the future.

Today, if you can come to help our family, I Jiang Zhi will remember it in my heart. In the future, if you can use me for anything, just say that if I can do it, I will do my best and never shirk.

Now, we can only express our hearts with this glass of water and wine, come, let's do it. ”

"Okay, Changliang, there is no need to say anything superfluous between our buddies, Brother Jiang, if you have any good things in the future, you can think about us, come, I'll do it." Qin Hanbin put down the chopsticks in his hand, picked up the wine glass, tilted his neck and dried the whole glass, and then turned the wine glass upside down and poured it down.

The others are all old men from the Northeast, and they have never been bad at the dinner table, so they all followed Qin Hanbin to dry up the liquor in the wine glass in front of them.

A glass of white wine was down, and the feelings of the people at the table took another step. (To be continued.) )
