Chapter 24 Farming

Yang Chunlei and Zhang Guihua thanked Yang Xingwu for a while, and then left with the rest of the bamboo scorn.

Back home, seeing that the time was still early, Yang Chunlei asked a few children to help with the hoop, and the three children had been playing in Yang Xingwu's house for a long time and were very interested in this.

While helping, he asked his father questions.

"Da, Brother Xingwu is really powerful, where that rabbit swings, I want to trap it, but unfortunately I can't do it!"

"Yes! I threw several of them and couldn't get that far, hey! I don't know when I'll be able to throw that far! ”

"I could have thrown it that far, but I couldn't get to the edge!"

Yang Chunlei listened to the three children chatting while breaking the bamboo, interjecting from time to time.

Hearing that my three children are so fascinated by this ferrule, I am more and more confident about tomorrow's ferrule.

With confidence, there is naturally motivation.

In the morning, the family made hundreds of small circles, and thinking of Yang Xingwu's advice, they made a few larger circles, which were about the size of two palms in diameter.

After making it, Yang Chunlei let the three children try it, and found that the circle looked big, but it was even more difficult to exert force, so he didn't have to worry, the rabbit was taken away too early and caused a loss, and the circle can be sold a little more expensive.

After Yang Xingwu sent Yang Chunlei's family away, he took advantage of the morning to start reviewing English textbooks.

There are no difficult sentences in English in high school textbooks, as long as you master the 3,500 commonly used foreign language words and many fixed collocations, and learn the subject-verb-object, it is not too difficult to score 80 points in English.

Especially now that he is still in the foreign language college entrance examination for a few years, coupled with the shortage of qualified foreign language teachers, he took the English level 4 test four times in his previous life, and now it seems to have become an advantageous subject, and sometimes fate is so wonderful.

Yang Xiaolan listened to the second brother, muttering something quietly, and leaned closer to find that the second brother was saying something she didn't understand.

"Y-O-U-N-G, YOUNG!"

Yang Xingwu recited this word in a whisper, and suddenly there was a trance.

When I was in the fifth grade of elementary school, every time the English teacher came to the corridor, the class would hear the English class representative's reading, and the word read was always young, and their class representative read like this for two years.

After going to junior high school, the deepest impression was this young, but I didn't expect to see it again after many years.

Yang Xingwu, who was immersed in the past, noticed that someone was looking at him, and as soon as he looked up, he saw Yang Xiaolan's gaze.

Yang Xiaolan didn't expect that the second brother, who was seriously endorsing, would suddenly raise his head, which made her a little flustered for a while.

Yang Xingwu saw that it was his sister, and he knew that his sister liked to read very much, but because her family was poor, she just stopped reading until the second grade.

But even so, Yang Xiaolan is also a cultural person in the village, after all, many girls in the village have no chance to enter the school at all, and her ability to read to the second grade can be regarded as a kind of preference for her parents.

Yang Xingwu knew that his sister liked to read, and after his books were used up, he kept them for his sister, and Yang Xiaolan also protected them very well.

Yang Xingwu sometimes taught her to read and study.

Seeing Yang Xiaolan's somewhat evasive eyes, Yang Xingwu smiled.

"Want to learn?"

"I don't want to, I just want to listen to the endorsement of the second brother!"

Hearing Yang Xiaolan's insincere words, Yang Xingwu didn't say much, and made up his mind to pay attention to it, after being admitted to college, his two younger sisters would send them to school for a few years.

The reason why I don't say it now is just because I don't have much say now.

This is the case with the so-called inappropriate words.

The effect of persuading his parents to let his sister study now is naturally different from the effect of persuading his parents to be admitted to university.

Thinking of this, Yang Xingwu abandoned distracting thoughts and memorized the words with his heart.

Yang Xiaolan saw that the second brother didn't pick her up, so she sat quietly on the side, holding her head with both hands, listening to the second brother's recitation, hoping to learn a thing or two from it.

Yang Xingwu kept reciting until noon, and then stopped, Yang Xiaolan saw that the second brother was tired, and hurriedly sent a bowl of prepared malt milk essence.

Yang Xingwu was not polite, and drank it after taking it.

It didn't take long for Yang Chunsheng to come back with his eldest son.

After Yang Xingwu saw it, he asked:

"Da, big brother, what are you doing here?"

"I went to the field and took a look, the temperature was good in the past two days, and the corn could sprout soon after planting!"

"Then let's plant in the afternoon!"

"Okay! Plant early, and by the time the wheat is harvested, the corn will grow to your knees! ”

When Yang Xiaolan saw her father and eldest brother coming back, she hurriedly went to the kitchen to scoop water and wash their hands and faces.

At noon, the family had dinner, lay on the kang and rested until mid-afternoon, and the family of six went out to work in the field together.

Since the ground has been turned over and the family came to the field, Yang Chunsheng, father and son simply compared the spacing of the rows, one of them took a hoe to dig the pit in front, and Wang Zhaodi took the two daughters to scatter seeds in the back.

Throw two or three corn seeds in each pit, Yang Xiaohong threw the seeds in front, Wang Zhaodi took Yang Xiaolan to bury the soil in the back, and stepped on it gently, not too solid, otherwise the corn would not germinate.

Corn cultivation is a relatively simple farm job.

No need to raise seedlings, dig a pit and sprinkle a few seeds directly into it, and look at the germination of corn in a few days.

Yang Xingwu hadn't planted for more than 20 years, and before that, he was a little worried that he couldn't plant well, but it turned out that he thought too much.

Farming in this place, don't worry too much, just remember the 24 solar terms, you can eat wheat kernels when you are small, and you can harvest wheat when you plant mangs.

With his not-so-good historical knowledge, he also knows that the 24 solar terms were calculated by the ancestors on this land.

Yang Xingwu thought about things, took a hoe, took a step to dig a pit, and it didn't take long to finish a line of land, and then planed back at the other end, and so on, and the family planted two acres of land in half an afternoon.

Tomorrow one more day of work, I will be able to plant all the remaining four acres of land.

After planting, it is necessary to be busy with weeding and fertilization.

Now it is basically based on farm fertilizer, and every household has a pit in their yard.

It is mainly used to load manure and use it for manure, after all, fresh manure will cause damage to crops, and only fermented fertilizer can be used for fertilization.

In addition, it can also sprinkle furnace ash, which is a good potash fertilizer.

The family worked till evening, throwing farm tools and leftover seeds onto the cart before pushing the cart towards home.

On the way, I met the villagers who went home, the big guys chatted and walked home, the sun slowly went west, and the whole sky was full of orange-red sunset!
