The last militia training camp was on the 22nd of the lunar month, according to the average once a quarter, and the next training camp must not go to March 22 of the lunar calendar? Changing to the Gregorian calendar, that's early May.

Long!

Chen Fan couldn't help but be a little disappointed, in two months, maybe he would be able to brush his skills to level 3.

Zhang Wenliang knew what he was thinking at a glance, and couldn't help but say, "What's the hurry, after the first month, the production team will begin to enter the busy farming season, after the beginning of spring, they will be busy ploughing the ground, weeding, applying base fertilizer, insect control, seedlings, and the farm work in the vegetable fields of each household is also busy, peppers, rainbow persimmons, cucumbers, cowpeas, loofahs, bitter gourds, winter melons, pumpkins, peas, potatoes...... Whatever is supposed to be planted.

This busy work came to mid-to-late April, and then it was rice planting, top dressing, cotton planting, and rape planting, and it was almost early to mid-May when the busy work was over, and only then did it be free to engage in militia training.

Anyway, you've learned how to shoot, and it's good that our militia squad will go out hunting another day and call you together to have a good time. ”

Hearing his words, Chen Fan immediately smiled embarrassedly, he was only thinking about playing with guns, but he forgot that the countryside was about to enter the busy farming season.

In addition to what Zhang Wenliang just said, after planting seedlings in early May, it will be time to harvest rape at the end of May and early June.

Double robbery is to grab the early rice and plant the late rice.

Compared with picking the embankment, the fatigue of double robbery is not much easier. And because the double robbery is the hottest time of the year, for some people, it is harder than picking the embankment, and the hot sun can really stun people.

In this year, the rural students in the school also had a special "double robbery leave", just to let them go home to help with farm work.

After the double robbery, you can't rest, threshing, drying grain, handing over grain, picking cotton, and so on, you have to harvest late rice and plant winter rape.

After a while, the winter rape will be harvested again.

It is almost until around December, that is, the winter month of the lunar calendar, that is, to finish the year's farm work a little.

But at this time, there are other tasks.

Renovating water conservancy, digging embankments, fishing and clearing ponds, digging lotus roots, and so on.

It is not until after entering the wax month that the Chinese New Year is about to start to rest.

This is still not too heavy on the river work, otherwise, the river work of the previous month, only the old and weak and sick in the village will work slowly, then they will have to be busy until the New Year, so they can rest for a few days.

After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the spring flowers will bloom, and the busy year will be repeated.

Chen Fan smacked his lips, sighed at the hard work of the farmers, and thought that he must write a few more newsletters to show the demeanor of the farmers.

Zhang Wenliang saw that he didn't speak, and thought he didn't believe it, so he smiled and said, "Really, don't look at our lack of mountains here, but there are a lot of wild forests, weasels, foxes, and rabbits, and other things are not easy to fight, and it's okay to fight a few foxes and rabbits." ”

Chen Fan came back to his senses and asked curiously, "Didn't you say that you can't hunt in the spring?" ”

Zhang Wenliang nodded and said with a smile, "I can't see that you still know this, you're right, there is indeed this rule, but it also depends on what you are fighting." For example, weasels and foxes will steal chickens, ducks and geese, and sometimes they will steal smaller animals, which can be let go.

There are also rabbits, which are a big litter in their lives, and they can give birth to several litters a year, and those rabbits often eat crops, and they also like to make holes in the ridges, and they can also let go.

What can't be hit casually is the birds, the birds can eat pests, but they can't, and the snakes can eat mice, and if they can't fight, they won't fight, and there are some other things, anyway, you will know when you follow us. ”

Chen Fan can be sure that their hunting standard is not based on ecological protection, but on whether it is conducive to production.

All poaching of poultry and livestock belongs to the object of extermination, and all those that are conducive to the prevention and control of pests, rodent infestation and other unfavorable factors to production belong to the object of protection.

He immediately nodded, "Okay, when you are going to hunt, let me know in advance." ”

I silently thought in my heart, just enough to catch a few litters of hares alive!

After chatting for a while, Zhang Wenliang looked left and right, took out a cigarette and handed it to Chen Fan, and asked in a low voice, "The day after tomorrow, go to the market, do you still make soft-shelled turtle meat?" ”

Chen Fan immediately shook his head, "Don't do it, I didn't even prepare a soft-shelled turtle, and I still make soft-shelled turtle meat." ”

He looked at Zhang Wenliang and said with a smile, "I remember that you said last time that you were going to set up a stall, so you won't come really, right?" ”

Zhang Wenliang snorted, "Hey, I'm just going to join in the fun." ”

Chen Fan nodded, "Yes, by the way, last time I said to help you make soft-shelled turtle meat, you see when it's ready, I'll help you." ”

He estimated that Zhang Wenliang came to find him specifically for this.

Zhang Wenliang didn't shirk either, originally he was looking for Chen Fan with the same meaning, and immediately said, "It's the afternoon after tomorrow, and I'll pull it over the next morning when I'm done, and I can eat something fresh." ”

Chen Fan, "Okay, I'll go over the afternoon after work." ”

It's just a pot of soft-shelled turtle, which can be made in half an hour, and it doesn't take much effort.

Seeing that Chen Fan was so straightforward, Zhang Wenliang smiled and said, "When I go back and make money by selling it, we will be half of each of us." ”

Chen Fan laughed, "Pull it down, I won't take your money." ”

After a pause, without waiting for Zhang Wenliang to speak, he lowered his head again and whispered, "Brother Sanhu, don't say I didn't remind you, there must be many people who plan to sell soft-shelled turtles at their stalls this time, you have to weigh it yourself, don't do too much." ”

Zhang Wenliang nodded again and again, "Don't worry, I know it in my heart." ”

Then he patted Chen Fan's arm, "The matter of money is so decided, of course, you have to be able to make money." ”

After finishing speaking, he spat out a smoke ring and swaggered away.

Chen Fan shook his head with a smile, went back to the radio station until 9 o'clock, and then packed up his things and went home.

……

After a while, he returned to the young spot with the foal that had been running crazy all morning, and the falcon swooped down on the horse's back, causing the pony to jump alive and want to shake off the bad bird on its back.

The falcon swayed on the horse's back, and couldn't stand the bump, so it flapped its wings and flew to Chen Fan's shoulder, and glanced at the foal with disdain, "Chirp." ”

The foal snorted at the falcon and approached Chen Fan for comfort.

Chen Fan touched the horse's back and walked in with it, "Okay, okay, it's okay to touch it." ”

After touching it twice, the pony ran happily to his nest with his hooves thrown on his own, and in the morning he had not eaten yet, and was hungry.

Seeing Chen Fan coming back, Huang Ying and Yang Ju immediately stepped forward to say hello, "Teacher Chen is back." ”

In the first few days, they would also pick up the cloth bags and kettles on Chen Fan's shoulders, but after Chen Fan resolutely stopped this bad trend, now they finally have a sense of proportion, only serving tea and pouring water to make beds and quilts, and there will be absolutely no physical contact.

Chen Fan nodded with a smile and shook his shoulders, and the swallow falcon flapped its wings and flew back to the small bamboo basket under the eaves to lie down, but stretched out its head to look outside.

Looking at the two of them, Chen Fan said, "You go and call Xiao Jiang and Xiao Liu, let's have a small meeting." ”

Yang Ju immediately turned around and shouted, "Liu Dan, Lili, Teacher Chen called a meeting." ”

After a while, the two walked out of the kitchen quickly, Liu Dan was still wiping his hands with an apron, and he looked like he was preparing lunch.

Chen Fan had already entered the room, put his things away, and put a cup of hot tea at hand.

The days have passed......
