Zhang Tao seems to be a generalist in farm work, and he has been changing his job all afternoon. You see, he is now hoeing the field again, that is, using the hoe to hook the mud from the high place to the lower place. This work requires eyesight, and the ability to see the level of the field according to the surface of the water; It takes more strength, this hooked up a large lump of mud weighs several pounds, some fall close, and some fall more than ten meters away at that time.

The main consideration of the field with a lot of water is the problem of drainage, and if the large field at the inlet is to be made slightly higher, you have to throw mud here from elsewhere; The spout is relatively low, so you have to throw the mud out. Fields with little water are just the opposite. The two-meter-wide fields near the shore should also be made low, one is convenient for water walking, and the other is to fill in some mud turf cut off from the shore wall.

Farm work is the most complex technical work in the world. In the past dynasties, why did the peasants guard the fields and mountains and still be able to solve the stomach problem? In addition to the deviation of government policies, the main thing is that there is a general shortage of technology in rural areas, and there is a serious shortage of technology. Farm work is far more complicated than doing business, running a business, or even any profession. From what is raised at home, planted in the soil in the field to planted in the mountains, it covers a wide range of aspects, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as all-encompassing, and the knowledge required is extremely complex and profound.

But it was such a complicated and difficult thing in the world, but it fell on the heads of most peasant fools who had never entered the school. All occupations in the world basically have pre-employment and in-service employment training, but only the incomparably complex profession of the farmer is left unattended, left to fend for itself, relying on self-education and experience passed on from generation to generation.

How to raise a chicken and a pig well, how to take care of a cabbage and a hill of grass, how to cure diseases, how to make it grow faster and better, how to produce the greatest economic benefits, all of this, do they understand? Where do they understand it? Who told them? Do you rely on the government's so-called sending agricultural technology to the countryside? Can a few thin agricultural technology manuals be popularized in the hands of village cadres?

Ignorance is not the fault of the peasants, but the responsibility of society. China is a big agricultural country, but how many scientific researchers are dedicated to studying agriculture? How many people have gone deep into the rural areas to collect, summarize, and sort out the advanced experience of farm work? In recent years, farmers may have benefited the most from the optimization of some agricultural varieties, but the promotion of technology is far from the same, it is a gust of wind blowing all over China, but there are very few that really blow into the farmland and into the ears of farmers.

After six o'clock, except for Gao Zi and Zhang Tao's family, who were still busy with some tail sweeping, everyone else was all devoted to the great cause of catching loaches.

These people lined up in the ditch of Zhang Tao's two hills of paddy fields, and there was another person standing every other section. A basin was occupied by Xue'er and the others, and they didn't have the tools to dig out the water, so they had to dig it out by hand. There was no fish basket for fish, so they skewered the fish with fish grass roots according to the method taught by Zhang Tao. They are very satisfied with this method, and they can see at a glance how many fish they have caught and the size of the fish.

After Zhang Tao's ditch was dug up, they went to other people's fields, until the sun went down and there were many mosquitoes.

In the preliminary calculation, Ma Tian was far ahead, and the fish obtained from the dry pond were almost filled with a fish basket, and the total amount was about 20 catties.

Xue'er and Nana relied on the tools to dig water, and they started early again, ranking second, about three catties. This result made them happy with smiles on their faces, and from time to time they played with their harvest in the bucket of fish.

The others had their own catches, each carrying a string of fish. The fat man showed a big face in the afternoon, probably he took out a piece of fat mud, and actually carried two strings of fish. He was so proud that he was always carrying the two strings of fish and dangling in front of people.

Because of the unexpected gains and surprises, everyone was full of energy, joy, and tired, and it was impossible to tell that this was a group of people who had worked hard all day. Zhang Tao did not expect that such a trivial matter of catching loaches, which the countrymen were tired of, could have such a great effect.

"Xiao Zhang, I'll go home directly from here, although I am very happy today, but I am also tired enough, this old bone is really not good for lack of exercise. You see, I'm only a year or two older than your dad, what kind of physique is your dad. Ma Tian said to Zhang Tao with a sore waist.

"Mine Chief Ma, how can we, stupid peasants, compare with your state cadres?" The human dragon who was walking from the shore of Tian heard Ma Tian's words and said to himself.

Renlong claimed that he was a veteran high school student, but his fate was not good, and he fell into today's poor teacher who is half a worker and half a farmer, and his personality is somewhat high, and his heart has always been pressed with grievances that are difficult to resolve, especially the corrupt style of those cadres in today's society. It was because he had always been a little choked when he spoke to those who were cadres, as if his situation was also caused by these cadres.

Ma Tian was a little embarrassed when he heard Renlong's blunt words, and he said sneeringly: "Principal Zhang, it's all the same, it's all ......the same."

Zhang Tao knew his father's character, so he hurriedly diverted the conversation and said enthusiastically: "Old Ma, it's not bad for this time, let's leave after dinner!" I'm thinking of having a good drink with you in the evening! ”

Zhang Tao enthusiastically kept Ma Tian. Zhang Tao said that the drinking made the alcoholic Ma Tian hesitate, but he quickly restrained his enthusiasm and said resolutely: "Let me drink today and I won't be drunk much, it's better to finish the double robbery another day, and I'll drink happily at your house for a day." ”

After speaking, he shouted again, "Xiaoma, Xiao Wu, you pick Gu back, and then go back after eating." Cher, Nana, you two come back with me, too! It's too late and it's not good to hurry. ”

Xue'er and Nana hesitated for a long time and didn't speak, and when they heard Brother Tao say that there were so many shows at night, how could they be willing to leave? If you don't leave, where will you stay? Can Brother Tao's big house accommodate so many people? Besides, how can I change my clothes for a bath? Mengxue didn't want to wear that clothes herself, it was too earthy. It's a dilemma.

"Xue'er, Nana, if you stay, there is a place to live, a change of clothes, but it is not as good as yours." Mengxue knew that they wanted to stay, and at the same time, she also knew that her brother also wanted them to stay, so she spoke out to keep them.

After Cher and Nana muttered a few words on the side, she said to her father, "Dad, Nana and I are not leaving, you can ask someone to take a motorcycle to help us deliver clothes." ”

This is really a rich girl's style. Meng Xue was a little envious, a little angry, and a little sad. This man! The fate is good or bad, the size of the income, it has little to do with ability, and the background is crucial.

Ma Tian was obviously a little unhappy, but he was reluctant to lose his temper with his precious daughter, and just repeatedly said that staying here would cause trouble for others. Cher and Nana didn't listen to him at all, pulling his arms left and right and begging coquettishly.

In the end, Ma Tian agreed, and they told Ma Tian everything they wanted to bring. It seemed that there were a lot of things to bring, which made Zhang Tao, who heard it next to him, have a doubt, could it be that they plan to settle down here?
