Life in a small village with quiet mountains and quiet waters

Chapter 93

Gu Siwei looked at the crowd, and soon found a person in the crowd that he least expected, who is it?Tao Yisheng, the former old Taoist priest who was rescued yesterday, old man Tao.

"Why are you here?"

Gu Siwei asked Tao Yisheng.

Tao Yisheng said with a smile: "Why can't I be here? You saved me yesterday, and I have nothing to repay you. Thinking of coming here to help you plant seedlings in the past two days, it's a small contribution." , you won’t drive me away, will you?”

"This... I just let it go, you don't have to take it to heart, no one will not reach out at that time." Gu Siwei really didn't take this matter to heart.

Tao Yisheng said: "It's your business if you don't take it to heart, but if I don't take it to heart, then it's my misconduct. I'm a poor old man now, and I don't have any good things around me. Do your best, and don't dislike me as a freelancer."

"Where do you say that, the ones who come are customers, please!"

It's all about this, Gu Siwei has no way to drive people away, besides, there are so many people here today, is there still a bowl and chopsticks for this old man?
Not to mention that he came to work, even if he didn't work, Gu Siwei couldn't do it when he was eating, leaving the family alone, and others were full. This is not the way of hospitality.

"I said don't play with the bears anymore. Are we here to help transplant rice seedlings, or to play with bears?" Yang Chuanwu yelled at the crowd with a smile at this time.

"Chuan Wu, you kid has been rubbing for a long time, I don't have the nerve to say you."

This is obviously an elder, Yang Chuanwu couldn't help but smile when he heard it, and he wasn't embarrassed.

Guo Xiangping said at this time: "Okay, let's get ready to work. This... yo, I didn't feel much when I was climbing. Now I stretched my head and looked down. This cliff is really high."

Guo Xiangping was taken aback by Ya, who clearly showed his true face.

Hearing what Guo Xiangping said, some people came to admire the cliff they had just climbed up, and one by one started to talk again, guessing how many meters the cliff was, some said forty, some said ten, There was no one who guessed that the cliff was seven or eight stories high, about 20 meters high.

"Let's go, work, work! The sun will be on your ass soon, and you are still talking about the cliffs and bears here. Everyone is here to visit Daji?" Liu Fulin said to the big guy.

Guo Xiangping also yelled: "Get moving, go to work."

Just like that, a group of people started walking towards the big house.

When everyone walked along the small stone road leading to the big house to the depths of the gourd valley, they commented on the land of Gu Siwei's house in an envious tone while walking.

Big, needless to say, these lands are almost half the size of the whole village. What they envy most is the water source, which flows directly from the mountain, passes through the middle of the fields, and finally discharges into the river from the cliff, unlike It is their land, and most of the land needs to be watered, or the wooden waterwheel is used to tread water, which is really not as convenient as Gu Siwei's place.

Sicui led everyone to the seedling raising room. When everyone saw the seedlings on the shelf, they all became restless. They surrounded the seedling raising shelf and looked carefully.

"Si Cui, what kind of seed is this?"

Liu Fulin’s family is also planting rice today. Liu Fulin’s here is putting on the old face to ask for seeds from relatives’ houses. This batch of seedlings is good.

But compared with the seedlings he saw now, he could throw them away.

The seedlings in front of me are almost one-third taller than his seedlings, and the leaves are also stronger. The most important thing is that the root system is almost twice as developed as that of his family. With such roots, can the rice grow well?

"It's grown from our family's rice. If you want to ask what variety it is, then you have to ask my brother, I don't know."

Sicui didn't know what kind it was, the rice was brought back by Gu Siwei, and Sicui didn't think about choosing a variety if there were any. Originally, the brother and sister decided not to want the wasteland, rather than thinking about a bumper harvest.

When everyone heard what Si Cui said, they turned their eyes to Gu Siwei in unison.

Gu Siwei wiped the bridge of his nose in embarrassment, thought for a while, and then smiled wryly: "I don't know what kind of variety it is called. I bought this rice from the collection at the factory. I originally thought about it. to eat, but later Sicui said that he wanted to grow it, so he used it as a seed, and I really don’t know what species it is.”

How did Gu Siwei know that the rice he brought back from the village was planted in the space, and nearly a dozen stubbles were planted, and he picked large seeds every time.

Spatial planting is not one acre or two mu, and Gu Siwei just planted a small piece, and just inserted two or three hundred plants and waited to harvest.

This is invisible breeding. Every time I choose a large seed, and with the blessing of space, this rice seed will naturally become like this.

"No matter what variety, the seedlings are very good now. Siwei, you can plant them this season. If the yield is high, leave some seeds for my family when the harvest is over. I won't let you keep them in vain. I will give you some seeds at that time." money, or exchange it with you with something from my land.”

It was Luan Jianming from the Luan family who spoke.

"Jianming, is this seedling good?"

As soon as Luan Jianming said that, everyone cheered up. At first, everyone thought Miao was good, but now after Luan Jianming's affirmation, they immediately changed their minds.

Gu Siwei didn't know that Luan Jianming was very good at farming. Although he didn't have much land in his family, the same piece of land he planted was different from other people's. If you follow along, you can plant it too. Without the food like him, he can get [-]% more food than the average person. This ability is really the envy of many people.

His farming can be regarded as the wind vane of farming in the village. Whether it is sorghum, potatoes, or even vegetables and fruits, Luan Jianming grows more than others.

"Can't you tell the good from the bad? If you can't tell the good from the bad, did you just watch the excitement? Don't be ridiculous, they are all farmers," Luan Jianming said with a smile to the villagers.

"We all think it's good, but we didn't expect you to think it's good too. By the way, Jianming, if you want to change to planting rice, your land probably won't work, right?"

Questions were raised.

Luan Jianming said: "Why not, as long as the rice yield can reach [-] catties, then I will replant it. It is nothing more than a little more effort. After all, rice is much tastier than sorghum."

Gu Siwei was a little confused when he heard that it was four hundred catties. Although he didn't farm land, he also knew that one mu of land in his hometown was more than four hundred catties, and it was about 1000 two hundred catties.Even if there is no future chemical fertilizer or something, it shouldn't be only four hundred catties.

But Gu Siwei didn't have much to ask, he seemed uneducated.

"Your land can be planted, so can mine. Siwei, if the yield is high, leave some for my family."

"I will also come to my house for a little bit, and then see what I can exchange with you, and I won't let you give it for nothing."

"No one can afford to give for free, it's not a matter of one or two families."

Everyone said after hearing it.

As soon as Gu Siwei heard everyone's commotion, he immediately stretched out his hands and pressed it: "If the yield is high, I must have left enough seeds for everyone. As for how much, I will wait until the time comes. If it is not enough, I have nothing to do." .

"Know, know!"

The crowd responded.

The seedlings were affirmed by everyone, and everyone thought about seeing the yield per mu of Gu Siwei's family, thinking that they would plant rice in the next season, and the family would also serve white rice.

With this little episode, everyone worked harder. Men and women in the prime of life rolled up their trouser legs and went to the field, lined up in a row and started planting seedlings.

Those with weaker physical strength, such as Sicui, transported the seedlings in the house to the fields with the strong half-grown Liu Dezhu, and let the older people, like Liu Fulin and Guo Xiangping, transport the seedlings from the house to the fields. The seedlings are thrown into the field, so that the transplanters can travel less and increase the efficiency of transplanting.

Gu Siwei doesn't know how to plant seedlings, but he is always embarrassed to make a pot of tea and sit under the camphor tree to enjoy the coolness when others are working.

Therefore, Gu Siwei also rolled up his trouser legs and went down to the field.

I started to learn from Yang Chuanwu, learning how deep the roots of the seedlings should be in the soil, and how much space should be between the seedlings. , It is easy to fall if it is shallow, and it should not be deep, or the seedlings will die if it is deep.

Fortunately, this thing is carried by a veteran, and Gu Siwei will understand when he is doing it here. It is nothing more than a little slower. Others planted two seedlings, and he only got one on his side.

So gradually, everyone moved forward at the same time, and Gu Siwei began to lag behind.

Waiting for three or four steps behind, Yang Chuanwu next to him, and others will come to help Gu Siwei make up the progress.

This made Gu Siwei even more embarrassed to be lazy, bent over, wearing a bamboo hat, holding a handful of seedlings with one hand, while the other hand mechanically took the seedlings and planted them in the field.

This posture can only see a place one or two meters away in front, and there are only two things that can be seen, one is the water in the field, through which you can see the mud at the bottom, and the other is the seedlings that have been planted by others on both sides , standing green in the water.

Gu Siwei didn't know how long he had been working. He only knew that the seedlings in his hand were gone, so he looked around. At this time, there would always be seedlings within two steps of him. After taking the seedlings, he continued to repeat the above actions.

"Everyone take a break and drink water."

At this moment, Wu Meiling's voice came from beside the ridge.

Hearing this, everyone who had no seedlings in their hands straightened up and walked towards the edge of the ridge, and those who had seedlings in their hands continued to plant seedlings. Gu Siwei looked up at the surroundings, thought for a while, and continued to lower his head Head, and finished planting a handful of rice seedlings in his hand.

The last seedling was inserted into the mud. Gu Siwei felt that the seedling was a little crooked, so he stretched out his hand to straighten the seedling, but felt that it was a little low, so he lifted it up gently.

After looking at it twice, he felt that it was very good now, so Gu Siwei was going to straighten up and go to the edge.

Unexpectedly, before his waist straightened, he sat down in the water one step at a time.

"Siwei, is there anything wrong?"

Yang Chuanwu, who was about to go in the direction of Longzi, was taken aback by Gu Siwei's ass Dunzi. He turned his head and saw Gu Siwei sitting in the water, and he became happy again.

"it's okay no problem!"

Gu Siwei stretched out his hand and pressed the ground, and the mud covered half of his forearm, and then he propped up his body.

At this time, Gu Siwei felt that his waist did not seem to be his own, and the indescribable soreness seemed to be broken.

"Your waist can't bear it?"

Yang Chuanwu knew what was going on at a glance. Everyone came here like this. No one can plant rice quickly and well at the beginning. Looks good.

Gu Siwei nodded: "It really hurts."

"If you don't take a rest later, it will be a bit unbearable at first," Yang Chuanwu said.

Gu Siwei waved his hand: "It's okay."

"Why don't you cook, it's easier to cook," Yang Chuanwu said again.

Now it's not Gu Siwei's turn to do the cooking. This work belongs to the 'old, weak, sick and disabled'. How can Gu Siwei grab this job? He is a man anyway. Face, Gu Siwei needs face.

"It's okay, there is always work to be done, how can I do it if I don't do it myself!"

Gu Siwei's stubbornness came up, and he decided to make a show. When he couldn't work anyway, he would still receive relief from other women's women, and let them help him fill in the gap.
