Chapter 88: I want to run
With so much land, it is only by manpower, how long will it take?
When he stood next to the ground, Wen Xiuyi regretted it, was it too late for him to go to the dock now?
"What are you doing? Work hard. Wen Laohan kicked Wen Xiuyi next to him, hating iron and not steel.
He knew that this boss was just unreliable.
The corners of Wen Xiuyi's mouth twitched, and he pointed to more than ten acres of land: "Dad, it depends on us to turn over until when?" ”
Wen Laohan knocked on the hoe on the ground and replied, "There are so many people in our family, it will be done in a few days." ”
Wen Xiuyi: "......" and so many places are finished, that person has to be abolished?
What he didn't know was that here, for so many years, his ancestors had come over like this, relying on a pair of hard-working hands.
Wen Xiuyi still didn't give up, and asked: "Is there no way to save trouble and effort?" ”
Old Man Wen paused, raised his head and looked him up and down, and said, "You don't want to be lazy, right?" ”
"No, no, absolutely not." Wen Xiuyi hurriedly denied it and said: "I just think that with so much land, just by our hoe by hoe, when do we have to turn it." ”
Wen Laohan didn't think about anything, but he just felt that he had protected this eldest son too well since he was a child, so he patiently explained: "My ancestors have been here like this for generations, hurry up and work, let your mother see it in a while, and you will be scolded again." ”
Luo Shi is really Wen Xiuyi's nemesis, as soon as he heard Wen Laohan say that Luo Wen Xiuyi was honest, he took a hoe and went to the ground.
said that the whole family came, but in fact, the labor force was only Wen Laohan, Luo and his brothers three plus two concubines, and only twelve-year-old Wen Jin and ten-year-old Wen Fa followed by the juniors, as for the girls, they were all doing light work.
And he shook the roots of the wheat out of the earth, and took a small hoe and broke up the large clods of earth.
As for Datou and Wenying, they are running all over the field, saying that they are working, but they are here to play.
Although this original body has a lot of strength, and he has also practiced some arm strength at the dock during this time, after turning over a quarter of an acre of land, Wen Xiuyi still feels that he can't stand it anymore.
If he digs any more, his arm will be ruined.
At this moment, Professor Wen misses the mechanical farm tools of the future generations, saving time, effort and labor, how good.
The old couple watched his every move, originally they thought that Wen Xiuyi would not be able to stand it for a few meters at most, but they didn't expect to do so much, which was not easy for Wen Xiuyi, who had never been on the ground.
"Big brother, take a break when you're tired, with me and the third child." Wen Xiuzhu smiled at Wen Xiuyi innocently like when he was a child, let him sit next to him and rest, and continued in his place.
In this family, he has been accustomed to letting him, Wen Xiuyi looked at his parents, younger brothers and younger siblings, even the two children worked hard, and he couldn't sit down, gritted his teeth and continued to work.
As for the hands? Oh, whose hand? Where did the hand come from? Already numb.
Wen Yao followed him to pick up, flip, knock, and shake.
"Professor Wen? How does it feel? Do you feel the hard work of the working people? Wen Yao rubbed her waist and wanted to lie down on the spot.
Wen Xiuyi looked at her: "Are you okay?" ”
"My waist is going to break." Wen Yao was full of helplessness, but she couldn't stop, they had to adapt to this kind of life.
Wen Xiuyi sighed deeply: "Hey, let's do it, I'll study it later, it's not a way to rely on manpower like this." ”
Wen Yao's eyes lit up, and she almost forgot what Professor Wen was doing before.
"Dad, do you have a way?" Wen Yao was in a hurry, and this title didn't collapse at once, but fortunately, there was no one next to them now, so they wouldn't be heard.
Wen Xiuyi glared at her, and then said: "At that time, we were already working by machinery, even if your grandmother and their generation had cattle in every household, as well as those farming tools, how could they work as hard as they do now." ”
Wen Yao threw the wheat stalks in his hand, walked up to him and said, "Isn't it okay to make the original thing." ”
Wen Xiuyi looked at the others, and when he saw the sweaty appearance of his family members one by one, he was also full of distress, gritted his teeth and nodded: "When your brother comes back in the evening, we will ponder." ”
"Okay, what are you going to do with the soil of this place? I can buy fertilizer, but how can I use it? Wen Yao said.
Wen Xiuyi smiled, his daughter and son were born in a good era, so there is no need to worry about anything, all kinds of dazzling fertilizers abound, so it is normal not to know these.
He patiently explained to Wen Yao: "Before the high-tech fertilizer came out, our ancestors had already studied all kinds of fertilizer methods, and there were many ways to make fertilizer here."
Although now every household only uses manure to make fertilizer, no matter how bad it is, it is to burn a straw and use plant ash to make fertilizer, isn't this all fertilizer? This is also a process of evolution, in fact, there is no need for chemical fertilizers, and it is not impossible to make good fertilizer under the current conditions. ”
"Do you know how?" Wen Yao asked.
Wen Xiuyi glanced at his daughter and smiled: "What is your father doing?" ”
Wen Yao joked to him: "Reading? Farming? Hahaha......"
"Stinky girl." Wen Xiuyi glared at her and said, "Okay, let's do it quickly, I know this matter in my heart, I will go back and tell your master and them in the evening, if you can do it, you have to try it first." ”
The father and daughter muttered for a long time, and they didn't stop until they were too tired to stop and rest for a while.
Every now and then, the big head would come running with a water bag bigger than his head to bring water to the two of them.
Drinking the water sent by his son, Wen Xiuyi didn't feel tired.
When it was close to noon, Luo called Wen Yao away, saying that he was going back to cook with her, but Wen Yao knew that her grandmother felt sorry for her to work.
The two of them went back and made meat cakes and vegetable cakes with the ingredients at home, and the family ate the cakes with water on the field, and they were happy.
It wasn't until the sun went down that the day's work ended.
But even so, they can sort out more than one acre of land.
When he got home, Wen Xiuyi sat down on a chair, but he really didn't want to move.
"Look at your little bit of talent, you're going to die if you do some work." Luo Che was disgusted when he saw him like this, but he still turned his head and went into the kitchen to boil a lot of hot water, soaked a hot cloth and threw it on Wen Xiuyi's hand, asking him to put his hands and arms on a hot compress, saving the next day's pain.
Wen Xiuyi smirked and gave a warm compress to his hands and arms, and finally felt better.
The dinner was very rich, Wen Yao steamed a large pot of rice, cut two pieces of meat sent by Zheng Butcher, fried shredded meat, cut a plate of braised vegetables, and fried a plate of vegetarian vegetables.
To say that it was absolutely impossible for the Wen family to live such a day in the past, two meat dishes could appear on the same table at the same time? I didn't even have this treatment for the New Year.
