14 spring seeds
Shen Muchun knocked off the ash of his cigarette, and pinned his cigarette stick to his waist, "I'll teach you, it's nothing, take your time." ”
Teach Chen Miao step by step, especially in the tricks of catching a little donkey.
"This donkey is a good buy, gentle. Do you know how to rush? ”
"Third master, I'll try."
After a back and forth, Chen Miao had a feel, and he was not as busy as at the beginning, this little donkey was really obedient.
"Third master, do you think I'll do this?"
"Okay, it's good, just do it, what do you want to plant?"
"I want to plant one acre of corn, one acre of wheat, half an acre of cotton, and half an acre of sweet potatoes."
"I said don't plant sweet potatoes here, the west side of your house is empty, you plant some there, don't pick the sweet potatoes. Or a variety of corn. ”
"Third master, I want to exchange some sorghum seeds with you."
"Okay, sorghum doesn't pick the ground. There is a lot of wasteland in the west of our village, and if you have time to open up the wasteland, you can plant enough to eat. ”
Chen Miaoxin said that this old man just let himself grow a variety of corn. Knowing the kindness of others, I think it's right to listen to the elderly. "Third master, how should I plant, our two families are next to each other, what are you planting?"
"Chen Miao, my family doesn't grow wheat, the yield is too low, if you plant it, plant it in the ground, so that it is ventilated, in fact, cotton should also be planted in a ventilated place."
Chen Miao remembered that he had land on both sides and should plant corn. But if this cotton is not planted, it will not be able to survive the winter.
"Third master, I planted cotton in the open space to the west of my house, and I planted wheat and corn in the field."
"That's fine. You can look at the arrangement yourself, just don't waste the land. ”
Chen Miao carefully drove the little donkey to the ground. It's getting more and more accessible, and it's not fast, but it's okay. You can't compare with the number of people who work in other people, so you can take your time.
It had been dry all morning, and ridge by ridge had been turned out. I looked at it in the morning, and it also doubled by a quarter.
The women of the Shen family came to deliver food, they ate in the field, and they didn't go back, the countryside people can really endure hardship.
Chen Miao also brought rice, people ate in the south, and she was in the north. Milk, meat, cakes, and the food is also quite hearty. Let the little donkey rest, she began to plant, this work will be done, and in order to save trouble, she is not dense. In this way, after the seedlings emerge, the seedlings are also labor-saving.
It ends at 4 p.m. Shen Muchun came over. I've been observing this girl all day, it's okay, she can endure hardships and work.
"Chen Miao, the soil cover at home has run out, you can use it."
She also knew that it was a lot of clods of soil to cover in this way.
Shen Muchun still taught her how to stand on the soil cover and pull the little donkey, and sighed in her heart that this girl was more clever than the boy's work.
That is, four back and forth, today's work is done.
She went to deliver soil to the Shen family. "Third master, where are you going to buy Tugai?" I don't have that tool right now.
"Your dad will do it."
Chen Miao nodded, it seemed that the rest of the land was going to be walked by his feet.
I really don't want to move when I get home, and there is no idle time at the end of the day.
The wheat was planted in the south, thinking that the wheat should be able to be cut in August, and then you can plant some radishes and cabbage, which is also convenient in the south. Before the rice was cooked, Chen Jiang came over.
"Third sister, can you do it alone?"
"The third master taught me, it's okay, I weighed almost half an acre of land in a day today. Don't worry, you're doing your job too.
That's right. You see, if Daddy has time to help me make a dirt cover. ”
"Then we have to wait for the end of Dad's spring planting."
"Well, it's fine. I'm just these three acres of land, I'm not in a hurry. ”
Didn't stay to eat, ran home.
The next day was still the same, today is a little more than yesterday, and it is still the Shen family's soil cover.
The women of his family did not have a good face for themselves. Chen Miao knew that it should be because he was going back.
I don't have the same knowledge as them, and I clearly know that it's good when I give it, and it's annoying when I want it.
After five days, three acres of land were finally planted, Chen Miao touched his face, and he still wore a mask and a headscarf every day, still feeling dry.
There is no work in the field for a short time, and she is about to clean up the land on one side, in order to be afraid that someone will come to plant, she has already driven the little donkey to turn over some at night, there is no way, it is really cotton must be planted this year.
Because I am used to it, there is nothing, and there is still half an acre of land in the west, which should be able to plant cotton seedlings.
After the ground is turned over, the cage must be hooked out with a pickaxe, so that the cotton straw will not fall.
It took a whole day for the ridges of this half acre of land to be laid. The cotton seedlings are not big, so it is good to raise them for a few days, and they should be watered when planting anyway.
It's already mid-April. Chen Miao thought that he should still buy a perpetual calendar or something, and this day was confused.
The next day, all three boxes were moved out and dried at noon, which would make them stronger.
The next thing is to plant vegetables, Chen Jiang has already helped turn over more than half of the vegetable furrows, just planting leeks, green onions and cabbage.
Chen Miao was thinking crankily while working, he hadn't spoken for several days! It's so lonely to be alone.
Treat yourself at noon, the quick-frozen dumplings are so delicious.
At the end of the day, the yard was tidied up. After two or three days, I can also plant gourd seedlings, and I want to go to the mountains to plant some.
The yard is quite large, and one person must say that he can't finish the dishes, so he can save them and eat fresh vegetables in winter.
She doesn't want to open up wasteland, her three acres of land are already the limit, so if she can't change it, she doesn't particularly like sorghum porridge.
After lying at home for a day, there is no place that does not feel painful. The next day I was still lazy and didn't do anything.
In the afternoon, I went around the field and saw that the wheat I had planted on the first day had been arched. Now I am looking forward to another rain, when the seedlings will emerge more neatly, and there is no need to water the cotton by myself.
Looking up at the sky, it seemed to be a little cloudy. Chen Miao prayed in her heart, let's rain, let's rain.
"Chen Miao, what are you doing here? Isn't it already planted? ”
"I'll see when the sprouts will emerge. Third aunt, when did your family's land finish planting? ”
"Yesterday it was planted in one day, I have a lot of family, and we divided two pieces when the landlord Xing divided the land."
Chen Miao nodded and walked back with the Qingshi family.
"Xiuyue has found you a lot of sweet potato seedlings, but it will take a while to plant sweet potatoes."
"Third aunt, I don't have any land to plant. Wait until the fall to buy some. ”
"Buy everything, how are you doing? Sweet potatoes don't pick the ground, or you can open a piece of land by the river and plant enough to eat yourself. ”
Chen Miao thinks about it, they are all countrymen, if they buy everything, it will be really different, and they will definitely have everything to say when the time comes, and they won't have that much money.
