When the time entered June, it became hot all of a sudden, and the gunshot wound on Gao Mingcheng's body had already healed, but he was too lazy to move, at this time he stared at the watermelon in the field, wondering when the watermelon would be ripe.

This year, he also planted a small plot of watermelons and muskmelons, both of which only have about a dozen seedlings, just enough for him to eat at home, after all, he has no intention of selling them.

Other families in the village have planted many of them, and one will plant three or four acres of land, and when the watermelons are ripe, they will be loaded in flatbed trucks and sent to the town and county to sell.

As for the old set of Junling, when the watermelon is ripe, this old set is the hardest hit area of watermelon, and it is difficult to sell it, so the local people of Junling will sell it here by the way, and if they want to sell it in large quantities and sell it at a good price, they have to go to the county to sell it.

In addition to taking it to the county to sell, there are also dealers who will go to the countryside to buy watermelons, but the price will naturally be much lower, and those who lack labor at home will be sold.

was staring at a watermelon flower in a daze, and his third brother Gao Mingwan came over.

"Second brother, you haven't been to the county recently?" Gao Mingwan said it was quite vague, but Gao Mingcheng understood it as soon as he heard it.

Only then did he remember that he had promised before, saying that he wanted to find Gao Mingwan a job in the county.

So he stood up, lifted the straw hat on his head, and said, "Tomorrow is the county market day, I will go tomorrow, will you go with me?" ”

When Gao Ming heard this, his eyes instantly lit up, and he couldn't wait to say, "Go!" ”

After the agreement, Gao Mingwan went home satisfied, he turned out the wardrobe, took out a new set of clothes from it, and gestured on his body. It's a new dress he made on purpose, and he hasn't worn it yet.

Seeing his movements, Gao Yuanjian knew that the second child should take the third child to the county tomorrow.

Letting go of the worries in his heart, Gao Yuanzhi called his son: "Third child, come with me to work in the field, the sugarcane field is about to be cultivated." ”

"Hey." Gao Mingwan put down his new clothes, took a straw hat in his hand, and carried a hoe, and went out with his father.

The sugar cane they planted here was summer sugarcane, which was planted in May, and now it had grown six or seven leaves and begun to tiller, and by this time it was time to do the first planting, and at the same time the weeds had to be hoeed away.

The father and son walked on the country road, and Gao Yuanjian advised: "You go to the county tomorrow, let the second brother take you to shave your head first, so that you will be more energetic." ”

"Your brothers also played with Gao Hong and Gao Yue when they were children, and they have a little friendship, and when you meet Gao Guobing, don't be stage frightened, call your uncle affectionately, you know?"

"Hey." Gao Ming responded, with a look of expectation on his face.

They are several years old, and they were in the same village when they were young, and they did play together, but Gao Hong and Gao Yue preferred to play with his second brother, and often left them and ran to other places to play.

Uh, to be precise, Gao Hong has the best relationship with his second brother, and Gao Yue is Gao Hong's follower, so the three of them played together.

When the land was able to be cleared, the land near the village was occupied, and if you wanted to open up more wasteland, you had to go to a farther place, so Gao Yuanjian led his family to open up a piece of land on the hillside here.

When I climbed the mountain, I saw a large area of gentle slope full of sugar cane.

Not all of these belong to their family, who occupy two acres of land, and the rest belong to other families in the village.

The reason why they all choose to plant sugarcane here is not because the soil here is good, but because it is far away from home, close to home, everyone will choose to grow vegetables and melons, which is convenient for timely management and picking to sell for money.

As for sugarcane, this is the task of the top hard, it must be planted, and it is still a variety for sugar extraction, sweet is sweet, but it is too hard, and the bite is not moving, plus every household has it, and it will hardly be stolen.

If it is a fruit like watermelon and melon, then you have to be careful, every ripe season, you have to watch carefully, although most of the people in Gaojia Village are surnamed Gao, and their ancestors are a family, but it does not prevent each village from having some people stealing other people's things.

Especially the children who are half the age and not too young, they will steal food when they are greedy.

This is the first time that the sugarcane field is cultivated, and it is not necessary to cultivate too high, just about three centimeters, and when the tillering period is in full bloom, it is necessary to carry out the second cultivation, which takes six centimeters this time.

But that's not all, when the sugarcane is in the early stages of growth, it will have to be cultivated for the third time, this time it will be 20 to 30 centimeters tall!

In addition to cultivating the soil three times, you also have to hoe, fertilize, water, and remove the dead leaves under the sugarcane.

But the most uncomfortable thing is that the price of sugarcane is very low, and because it is a hard-core task, every autumn harvest, the sugar factory will send people to purchase, but this time is undecided, sometimes on time, sometimes it will be delayed for more than a month!

At this time, there is a lot of grumbling in the village, almost no one wants to grow sugar cane, but they have to do it.

Gao Mingcheng's family didn't plant this year, because he had just split up, and he only asked for one acre of land from his family, there was no land, and the land was cultivated by himself, although he opened up several acres of land, but the people in the brigade did not come to him, so he pretended to be stupid and did not plant sugarcane.

Planting sugarcane is a thankless task, he remembers that in 92 years, the villagers went on strike collectively, and there was a long time, so there was no longer a task for them to plant sugarcane, since then, the village has not seen anyone grow sugarcane for several years, which shows that sugarcane is hated.

At the beginning of the year, she went to the people of the village committee, saying that she was old and had little labor at home, so she didn't want to plant sugarcane anymore.

But the people of the village committee refused to let her not plant, afraid that she would not plant, and the others would not plant if they did the same, so they promised to let her plant less, and the fine grandmother also planted half an acre of land.

At this time, she and Gao Zhuang were also here to cultivate the sugar cane, and He Xiuman also came, but she was not allowed to do the work, only let her stand in the shade of the tree to rest.

He Xiuman's physical condition is not bad, and after pregnancy, except for not having much appetite, there is no other discomfort.

At this time, she stood in the shade of the tree, watching Gao Zhuang work, although Gao Zhuang was short and had little strength, but he was diligent and down-to-earth, and there were no other bad problems, He Xiuman was more satisfied the more he looked at it.

But thinking that in two days, her mother's family would come over to give her stomach money, He Xiuman's brows furrowed slightly.

Hey, I'm going to find a reason to coax her parents again!
