Chapter 63: Rice Planting

Maybe it's because of the rain, but this year's spring came very early, and there were young green sprouts of grass or wild vegetables everywhere, because the leaves of the trees had fallen in autumn and winter, and many new leaf shoots also appeared on the canopy.

But there are also troubles, the plants grow fast, which means that the weeds in the field also grow fast!

In order to prevent the weeds and crops in the field from robbing the fertility and nutrition of the field, Lao Xiang's family mobilized all the people to go to the field to pull weeds!

As I said before, Lao Xiang's family has a lot of land, in addition to Lao Xiangtou and some of the land left by the previous ancestors, the three brothers of the eldest Xiang got the land after they became Ding, although a large part of it is a mountain forest, but not all of it is divided into mountains and forests.

Some of the fields near the water are planted with rice, some are planted with wheat and millet, and some kinds of beans and some melons and fruits are planted on the dry land.

They are not completely devoid of planting things in the mountains and forests they are assigned, and there are also regulations on the fields that are divided into Dingding, in addition to planting grain, they must also plant mulberry trees, elm trees, and jujube trees!

Although no one came down to check, it was required by the entire county, so no one dared to disobey such a rule.

In addition to wild fruits, dates are the most eaten fruits in Xiangtiange every year.

But she doesn't like it very much, because these dates grown in the mountains and forests at home have a very light taste.

Although Lao Xiangjia has a lot of land, there is also a lot of labor!

Ploughing and ploughing the ground is the man's business, but Jiang and the others will also carry hoes and follow them into the field to break up large pieces of soil and level the land.

Because of the heavy rain, there is no need to irrigate the rice fields, but they have to open an opening in the fields and let some water out!

When the seedlings were raised and could be planted in the field, the Jiang family took Xiang Dalang and others, who came back from school, to the field to plant seedlings.

Of course, Xiang Tiange also followed, although there was no shortage of her labor, but the old Xiang Tou and others were not very tired when they thought about planting rice for the sake of fairness, and on this day, it was gloomy and gloomy, and it was not sunny, so they left her to go down to the field to plant rice together.

This makes Xiang Tiange very happy!

This is her first time planting rice!

She took a handful of seedlings from her mother's hands, followed the example of the adults next to her, and separated a seedling and bent down to plant it in the field.

But Xiang Tiange was planting seedlings for the first time, and the fields were full of water and mud, and the planting was unstable, and soon, the seedlings she had just planted floated on the water.

Seeing this, Xiang Erlang on the side stepped forward to teach her: "Eighth sister, you have to hold the bottom like this, insert it vertically, insert it into the mud, and insert it deeper, so that it can be inserted steadily, and it will not fall down, let alone surface!" ”

Then Xiang Tiange tried the method taught by the second brother, and planted another one, and sure enough, this time the seedlings stood firmly in the ground, not crooked, let alone floating!

Xiang Tiange was very happy, she felt that she had learned to plant seedlings, and waved her big hand: "Okay, okay, second brother, go and plant the seedlings over there, I have already learned!" ”

Xiang Erlang, who originally wanted to give some more guidance, heard her words, so he could only go back to his corner and plant the seedlings.

In the end, although Xiang Tiange finished planting her part of the seedlings, she either planted them very densely, or they were very sparsely inserted, and the small piece she planted was finally reworked by the Wang family in the past and replanted them neatly.

However, Xiang Tiange didn't feel that he was not good at planting seedlings at all, and when he went to school the next day, he showed off to his friends that he had learned to plant seedlings!

"Really? Can I learn rice planting with you? Qu Xiang is also very curious, he has never been in the field, let alone planted seedlings.

Hearing his request, Xiang Tiange straightened his chest, and there was a feeling that he had finally surpassed his little friend, "Of course you can, don't worry, I will teach you how to plant rice!" Let me tell you, this rice planting is very exquisite..."

Then Xiang Tiange bragged about the song!

Of course, it is impossible to plant seedlings in the fields of the old Xiang family in one day, although there are many people, but there are also many fields to be planted!

It will take at least another three to five days for all the seedlings to be planted in the family's rice fields.

So when school was out in the afternoon, Xiang Tiange took the song to the field.

Lao Xiangjia looked at the young master Qu who was standing next to his grandson, nephew, and daughter, and heard that the other party was also coming to help with planting seedlings in the field, although he had the heart to refuse, but looking at the other party's interested and happy look, the people of the old Xiang family couldn't refuse.

So I set aside a smaller field, so that a few of their younger children are in that field, as for planting rice or playing, whatever!

Just a field of less than a penny, at most, they will replenish the seedlings later.

Then Qu Xiang also had a lot of fun, and went ashore with Xiang Tiange covered in mud, and said to her: "It's fun to plant seedlings, I'll come back tomorrow to help your family plant seedlings, okay?" ”

Xiang Tiange came for two days in a row, and she actually didn't want to come tomorrow, but when she saw her little friend say this, she nodded happily and agreed!

But when they came to school the next day and wanted to come with their brothers, they were refused.

"Grandpa said it when he went out in the morning, you and Liulang Qilang are all playing at home, you don't have to go to the field, there are not many seedlings, we can plant them all today and tomorrow!" Xiang Shiro said to them.

Xiang Tiange said, "Then if we go today, wouldn't it be faster?" Maybe you can finish planting the seedlings today, so that the family doesn't have to go again tomorrow, and you can rest at home! ”

Xiang Dalang and the others glanced at each other, and finally told the truth what Lao Xiangtou said lastly.

"Actually, grandpa also said that the seedlings in the fields you have planted are either dense or sparse, and they have to come to rework again to make them busier, so I don't want you to go to the field to plant seedlings again!"

Hearing this, Xiang Tiange pouted slightly, didn't speak, and watched a few older brothers change into the clothes they wore when they were doing farm work and went out.

Qu Xiang on the side was not discouraged, and quietly said to her: "It's okay, you can't go to your family's land, my family has it!" I've asked my grandmother, and I'm planting rice at home! ”

Xiang Tiange's eyes lit up, and then the two of them went out when Xiang Liulang and Xiang Qilang were not paying attention, and trotted all the way to the Qu family's field.

The Qu family is indeed planting rice now, and because the Qu family's land is good, they are basically planted with rice, such as beans, but there are no varieties!

However, in addition to long-term workers, the Qu family also invited short-term workers to spring planting, such as in Peach Blossom Village, there are many villagers who have applied for this short-term job to do it, but Lao Xiangjia did not go this year, because in addition to spring planting this year, there are also yams in the field to be busy, it is too busy, and they can't spare the manpower to go to the Qu family to work.
