Chapter 102: Warm in Lali, Drought in June (2)

May is the season of "planting" seedlings, after the beginning of spring, the seedlings that are bought and bred by the village committee have been ten centimeters, looking at the paddy fields in front of a piece of good stacking, the green seedlings are "inserted" full of these seedling fields, the breeze blows, the slender leaves are swaying with the wind, the dense seedlings make a slight sound of "swish" from time to time, I saw Liu Peng squatting on the edge of the field, and the Yi branch secretary next to him stood aside, Liu Peng's right hand went straight to the field, and stretched it back for a moment, and there was an obvious watermark on the wrist. From time to time, the right hand drips down with small droplets.

Liu Peng nodded with satisfaction, turned his head to Yi Zhishu on the side and said, "Yi Zhishu, the water storage of the seedling raising fields in the village is not bad, I don't know how other fields are?" ”

"It should be good! Last year's rain was good, and the paddy fields were full of water in winter. ”

"Let's hope that what I thought wouldn't happen!" Liu Peng looked into the distance with an expectant tone

Yi Zhishu patted Liu Peng on the shoulder and said, "Director Liu, no matter what, this precautionary measure still has to be done, whether it appears or not, we can deal with it, this is what you told me!" After saying that, he couldn't help but smile

Liu Peng turned his head, looked at Yi Zhishu's face full of smiles, nodded vigorously, and said: "We should take precautions, and we should also consider this weather factor in production activities in the future, okay, let's go ahead and have a look now!" Stop by to visit some elderly people in the village! ”

Walking on the path in this field, there are some emerald green weeds growing on both sides, and there are some purple "colored" folded ear roots growing sporadically on the ridges, the terrain of the paddy fields in the whole village is along the flow of the stream, slowly lowering the slope, it seems that these fields are also very flat, most of the paddy fields on the edge of the ridges have been ploughed, and it can be seen from the mud masses that protrude from the fields, and it can be clearly seen that the ploughing sequence between the fields is obvious, and some fields have not even been ploughed. The reason for this is that there are not many farmers in the village who breed buffalo, and most of the villagers have to wait in line when they need to cultivate the land, and rent the buffalo to farm.

"Woohoo!"

"Smack!" The sound came into Liu Peng's ears, and when he looked up into the distance, it turned out that a villager was plowing the field. I saw that he was wearing a straw hat on his head, wearing a dark blue "colored" Zhongshan suit on his upper body, but it looked a little old, the sleeves were rolled high, and he was wearing a pair of dark "colored" trousers with the trousers pulled above the knees. He held the whip in his right hand and occasionally waved it at the ploughing ox in front of him, and his mouth kept shouting at the ox with a 'whoo', and with his left hand he held the plough and moved forward slowly, from both sides of the plow there were constantly bubbling out of the mud balls, and the muddy water was still bubbling from time to time.

After Liu Peng and Yi Zhishu greeted the villagers who cultivated the land, they went to the place they were going to this time, an old man surnamed Tan, this old man can be regarded as an old birthday star in the village, he is almost 90 years old, and he is also in good health, and he has heard that he still often works in the fields!

The old man surnamed Tan lives in the west of the village, some distance from the village committee, and there are several courtyards here, and the courtyard where the old man surnamed Tan is located are all members of his Tan family, and they are the side branches or descendants of his old man's family. According to Yi Zhishu, this old man was very experienced in agricultural production, especially in judging the weather situation, so Yi Zhishu was the first to find him.

In the courtyard of the Tan family, Tan Lao was sitting in the yard teasing his little great-grandson, the old man was holding a month-old baby there from time to time, and the baby in his hand made a 'giggle' laugh from time to time. At this time, he also found that Yi Zhishu and Liu Peng had arrived in the courtyard, so he walked over with the baby in his arms and said with a smile: "Why did the branch secretary and the director come to me when they were free?" ”

"Master Tan! This is your great-grandson! That's good! It's two years old! Liu Peng said with a smile

"Yes! This is the third child of my family, who is almost a year old now, and now I am still quite tough, so I will tease the child. I wonder what happened to the two leaders? Tan Lao said while teasing the child in his arms

"Look at Tan Lao's appearance, it's no problem to live over 100 years old, and when the time comes, I will ask the village committee to hold a big event for Tan Lao to celebrate the old birthday star in our village!"

"Party secretary, director, let's go into the house and talk! There's no place to sit on this dam. ”

In the Tan family hall, after everyone sat down, Liu Peng asked Master Tan, who was sitting at the top: "Master Tan, I heard that you are very good at climate and climate prediction of agricultural production, how is the weather this year?" ”

Tan Lao's eyes couldn't help but light up, stared at Liu Peng tightly, and observed for a while before he spoke: "Director, why did you think of asking this question?" ”

"Alas! Since there have been a few rains in the spring, there has been no rain until now, and there has been no such situation in previous years, so I am a little worried about this year's production situation, I am afraid that there will be a drought at that time, I don't know what Tan Lao thinks about this matter? Liu Peng said to meet Tan Lao's gaze

Tan Lao lowered his head and sighed: "Lali is warm, there is a drought in June!" ”

Listening to this proverb said by Old Man Tan, Liu Peng whispered it over and over again, Pian Ke, looked up at Old Tan, and asked softly: "Old Tan, do you mean that there will be a drought in June?" ”

"Alas! Warm in Lali, dry in June; The rain hits the Qingming Festival, and it is dry until the summer solstice festival; When the peach blossom water is exhausted, it must be early***; These are the experiences passed down from our ancestors! Now not many people know, since last year's lunar month, the weather is very warm, according to the experience of the ancestors, this next year's June will be drought, look at this year's situation, look at the rain during the Qingming Festival, also fulfill these proverbs. Director, branch secretary, I think you better go back and get ready! ”

Liu Peng glanced at Yi Zhishu on the side, and thought to himself: "It seems that this year's situation is really a bit grim!" ”

"Wow!" The baby in Tan Lao's arms suddenly burst into tears. Old Man Tan held the baby in both hands and kept teasing the baby in his arms.

Liu Peng stood up and said goodbye to Tan Lao, who was the head of the head: "I'm really bothering you!" Let's go back and arrange our work, and then we will take our leave! Tan Lao nodded and continued to tease the child in his arms

The two left the courtyard of the Tan family, and Yi Zhishu asked, "Director Liu, shall we go to other people to ask about this situation?" ”

"No need, didn't Tan Lao say it clearly enough just now? These are the experiences summed up by our ancestors! Let's go back and get ready for the drought to come! Liu Peng hurriedly walked forward
