There are more than two acres of high-quality rice fields in the school, and one hectare of dry land has been idle for many years. He went to President Yang Zeping to discuss and wanted to put this matter on the agenda of the colonel's meeting.

Principal Yang said that he personally supported Mr. Chen Limin's suggestion, but at the same time, he asked him to discuss it with Director Xie Ruiyun first. Teacher Chen Limin then went to Director Xie Ruiyun. Teacher Xie said that this incident was originally a great thing, and it was Huanting Village that donated two acres of high-quality paddy fields to the school in order to take care of the welfare of the school teachers. It's a pity that the teachers in the school are afraid of trouble, and no one wants to suffer personally, so the paddy fields and dry land have been abandoned like this.

Teacher Chen Limin said: "As long as I have the support of the school leaders, I am confident that these paddy fields and dry land will give full play to the good economic benefits." ”

Why not do such a good thing, since someone now volunteers to take on this drudgery, Mr. Xie will definitely not disagree. The school held a special meeting and quickly implemented the matter.

Teacher Chen Limin did not dare to slack off. If we want to make the rice fields economically profitable in the summer, we must now put them into action.

On Sunday, he asked Mr. Xie Ruiyun to lead the way to check the location of the rice field, and Mr. Xie excused himself that there was something at home on Sunday, so Chen Limin had to go to the village to find someone else to take him over to check. Some people say, you can find a team leader Yao Shuigen, this rice field is also allocated from his production team, he is not only very clear about the location of the rice field, but also the direction of the waterway of the rice field, the nature of the soil layer, the pH and other conditions are very familiar.

Teacher Chen Limin was very excited, and really went directly to find Yao Shuigen. Fortunately, Yao Shuigen's son is his student, no wonder the name Yao Shuigen is so familiar, it turns out that this name is lying on the roster of his own students.

Yao Shuigen saw that it was Teacher Chen who came to visit his house, and hurriedly welcomed him in. Teacher Chen said that today he wanted to trouble Captain Yao to take him to see the school's rice field. When Yao Shuigen heard this, he stared at Teacher Chen with suspicion: What are you looking for it, hasn't it been abandoned for many years?

Teacher Chen said with a smile: "The reason why it was abandoned in the past was because there was no one in the school who was willing to endure hardships and meddling people, but now that someone is willing to endure this hardship, it is time to let it 'turn waste into treasure'." ”

Yao Shuigen still didn't want to believe Teacher Chen's words: "You teachers, who is willing to suffer like a peasant, this is not as simple as standing and talking without backache!" ”

Teacher Chen said firmly: "Captain Yao, don't always doubt whether the teachers in our school are good or not, there are also people in our teachers who must do what they say." ”

Yao Shuigen stopped talking, clapped his hands and said, "In this case, I will take you over to see it now, and after seeing it, it depends on you whether you have the determination or not." ”

Yao Shuigen picked up the hoe on his back, Chen Limin followed him, and in less than twenty minutes, the two of them were already standing on the edge of the rice field.

Looking at the abandoned rice fields encroached by weeds more than one person tall, Yao Shuigen sighed with sadness: "What a good hill of fertile land, but unfortunately it was completely destroyed in three or five years." ”

At this time, Mr. Chen Limin was also stunned, he thought that although this field had been abandoned by the school for three or five years, at least the area and the boundary were there, and he also knew that the weeds would definitely be very dense and long, but he did not expect that the degree of abandonment would be so serious. Thumb-thick weeds abounded and grew to the height of more than a man, dense and impermeable, as if they were soldiers in a row, but they were chaotic and disorganized. Some of the places are pools of stagnant water, presumably the 'masterpieces' left behind by the cattle after they had invaded and lay down to rest, and most of the weeds in the water have rotted and deteriorated, and the water is dark black and is emitting a foul smell.

Yao Shuigen pointed to the rice field and sighed: "This rice field is exactly the same as the surrounding rice field, and it belongs to the best fertile land. You see, this is the rice field of our production team, and it used to be indistinguishable from each other, but now this fast field has become like this, which is really heart-wrenching. ”

Teacher Chen Limin asked him: "Captain Yao, how do you think we can deal with it next in order to return to the previous situation?"

Captain Yao shook his head vigorously and said, "It must be a little difficult to return to its original state, but as long as you are willing to work hard, most of this weed can still be removed." ”

Teacher Chen asked him again: "Captain Yao, how can the removal method have the best effect?" ”

Captain Yao said: "Gongkou, ask some people to cut the weeds with a sickle first, and then let the ploughing oxen plough it several times and put away the thick grass roots before you can plant rice." Otherwise, the survival rate of rice planting is not very high, let alone the yield per mu. ”

Teacher Chen Limin had no choice but to smile bitterly and said: "This is indeed a problem, there is no Gongkou and Cattle Farming School." ”

Yao Shuigen listened, pondered for a while and then said: "Well, I can think of some ways for the school, but the problem is that the members of the club have to get work in return, but the school can't open work points?"

Teacher Chen Limin said: "I will discuss with the school leaders first when I go back to school, can I be flexible, your production team will contribute manpower, and the school will pay them to see if it is okay?" ”

Yao Shuigen listened, and his eyes lit up and said: "This is a good way, the members of the club must be willing to do it." It's just that the school has to say an accurate amount in advance how much money it is willing to pay, otherwise, it will not be good to have conflicts afterwards. ”

"This will not make the farmer friends suffer, the school will give a number for them to choose."

"Okay, this matter must be implemented quickly, the time is already very tight, and then it will be necessary to nurse seedlings, raise water in paddy fields, apply base fertilizer and other operations."

As soon as the matter was publicized by Yao Shuigen, the members of the team were very happy to do this work for the school. Don't be overly high, just say that it can be paid according to the equivalent of the work of the production team for one day. This made the school also a little moved, so they paid 1:1.2 of the work score, and they could come and get the money the next day after working on the first day.

It was a piece of cake for the members of the production team to do this work, and they only worked hard to get rid of the grass in one day. In order to make the soil softer after ploughing, Yao Shuigen suggested that Mr. Chen Limin drain the stagnant water in the paddy field first, and let the sun dry for a few days before turning the soil. Teacher Chen Limin adopted his advice, so that the soil turned over after four days was much softer.

After the soil was turned over, Captain Yao said that he could not release water to raise the field at the moment, and he had to expose it to the sun for a few more days, and first dry the turned over soil. Teacher Chen Limin will implement it according to his words, and it doesn't matter if Captain Yao's method works or not, anyway, he is an old farmer, where is the experience, who can he listen to if he doesn't listen to him?

Mr. Chen Limin also contracted the work of raising seedlings to the production team, which saved a lot of tedious chores. As for the rest of the work, you can only do it step by step: "watering, farming, fertilizing, weeding, spraying, etc."

Chen Limin took the time to complete the water release and spraying. Farming, fertilizing, and weeding all invited colleagues and teachers to participate, and he arranged for his students to participate in this kind of labor class. His students are all rural children, and they are no strangers to work in the fields. Therefore, it is really decent to do it, and it is not unfamiliar.

Yao Shuigen usually instructs Mr. Chen Limin, fertilizing and releasing water, when the rice seedlings need to be fertilized, what fertilizer is needed, and when they need to be insecticidal and sprayed, he comes to the school in time to tell Mr. Chen.

Yao Shuigen suggested that Mr. Chen should remove the weeds in this hill field several times, so as to increase the yield per mu. Otherwise, the aquatic plants can easily absorb the fertility in the paddy field, and the vitality of the aquatic plants in the paddy field is particularly tenacious. Mr. Chen attached great importance to Captain Yao's suggestions and did them one by one.

In his contact with Yao Shuigen, Mr. Chen Limin found that Yao Shuigen's knowledge and cognition of crops are very high. Yao Shuigen is very clear about the seasonal changes of agricultural production, climate temperature differences, crop growth attributes, crops' preference for sunlight, crops' focus on fertilizers, and crops' demand for water, nutrients, and oxygen absorption and utilization, which makes Mr. Chen Limin sincerely admire the farmers represented by Yao Shuigen.

As soon as the rice field farming was implemented, Mr. Chen Limin transformed the school's dry land under the suggestion of Yao Shuigen, and he organized the students to divide one hectare of dry land into more than ten blocks, and planted vegetables, wheat, soybeans, fruit trees and tea seedlings after turning the soil and weeding, and watering and applying fertilizer. It's only been a month, and the vegetables are ready to be harvested and eaten. The old teachers in the school all said, Chen Limin, you are a ghost, you don't do your job, just engage in these side business speculative tricks, which makes us want to eat meat every day (now we have fresh vegetables to eat every day).
