My village can't be like this

Chapter 182 Bodhisattva Breeding
"Boy, you sent my old man's head back home. I'm already very grateful to you. How can I still charge you money?"

If you want to change someone, no matter how much you give, they will keep it, and at most say a few words of thanks.

But the old man Wang shook his head and pushed Zhang An's money back.

"The money was stolen today, which means that I, an old man, shouldn't go out today. I'm destined to lose my money. It's my destiny."

"Okay, old Jinger, that money is not a small matter for you, it may be your oil and salt money for half a year."

Zhang An stuffed the money into his pocket while talking to him.

"If you don't take it, you plan to let the head of the family follow you to eat boiled party dishes every day. When you receive it, treat it as if you haven't been cut off from your wallet, okay?"

After some persuasion by Zhang Anhaosheng, Lao Wangtou finally accepted his intention.

Seeing that Old Wang had accepted the money, Zhang An nodded, and it was time to go home.

Take old Wangtou's pannier from the carriage and put it on the old Wangtou's back, Zhang An got in the car and turned around.

It was only at this time that Old Wang realized that he was going to tell Zhang An to go home and have a drink of tea and sit down for a while.

So someone saw Zhang An driving forward, and he chased and shouted.

Seeing this, Zhang An stretched one out of the car window.

He waved to him, signaling him to go home and stop chasing him.

Old Wang didn't turn back until he lost sight of Zhang An's car.

After driving all the way out of Wangjiachong, Zhang An suddenly felt refreshed.

When he met old man Wang when he left the city, he had a desperate face and dull eyes.

When Zhang An talked to him, he could feel an uncomfortable gloom.

But just now, after some enlightenment from Zhang An, old man Wang obviously changed.

Zhang An could see that when Old Wangtou spoke to him for the last time, the light in his eyes had returned.

It seems that the old Wangtou has thought about it in his heart, and he is no longer in the depressed state of mind just now.

Back home, Zhang An found Zhou Yang and his father in his home.

It seems that there should be something coming, otherwise the father and son would not come to the door together.

"My uncle is back. Didn't my aunt come with me?"

Zhou Yang greeted Zhang An with a smile when he saw Zhang An came back.

Zhang An guessed that he came to find something for him, and his mother told him that he had gone to the city.

"She's still busy teaching students."

Zhang An took out the Bodhisattva he had carried out from the car.

"I saw someone selling big bodhisattvas in the city, so I bought some and planned to plant some this year. You can try to see if it tastes good."

"Hey, what a great Bodhisattva, if you keep it as a seed, the ones you plant will definitely not be small."

When the family saw this Bodhisattva, their expressions were the same as when Su Ying's mother saw it.

"Forget it, we won't eat it, let's save it for seeding, and eat it when we dig it out next time."

"Hey, it doesn't take so much to grow. It doesn't matter how much you eat."

As Zhang An said, he grabbed a handful and gave them to them.

Although it is said to be a large number, it is actually only three or four.

Bodhisattva is so good at making a tree.

A bodhisattva is thrown in the field, as long as you give it time, sooner or later it will be distributed to you all over the field.

The old man said before that a few Bodhisattvas are enough to plant an acre of land.

"This Bodhisattva is not only big, but also very sweet to eat."

"It must be delicious, otherwise why would I want to buy it."

Zhang An handed the remaining Bodhisattva to his mother, and then talked to Zhou Yang and his son in the yard.

"Yoko and Brother Shuanglin are here, what's the matter?"

"It's like this. Yoko said that the matter of getting married has also been settled, so we thought about building a house for him."

Originally, people in the village got married and started a family, and they rarely built new houses.

Unless there are too many people in the family to live in, or the family conditions are well-off.

In fact, the old house of Zhou Yang's family is not small now, it is the style of three rooms in the past.

It's just that now their family has cleaned up two rooms and rented them out.

In addition, their family is also well-off now, so it is not a bad thing to build the house in advance.

After all, there is a younger brother in their family, who will build it sooner or later.

"This is a good thing. It seems that the house is finished, and it's time to drink Zhou Yang's wine."

I heard from Zhou Yang some time ago that the matter between him and Chen Wenwen has been settled.

Now that Zhou Shuanglin and his wife are going to build a new house for Zhou Yang, they probably want Zhou Yang to marry his daughter-in-law quickly.

"Uncle said this, even if you don't serve wine, you can drink it at any time, and you can't pour it for you."

Regardless of building a house or getting married, it is a great thing for others, so everyone talks about it with a smile.

"By the way, where are you going to build this house?" Zhang An asked casually.

"Here, it's in the seedling field beside the big river, and I will be able to visit your house again in the future."

Zhou Shuanglin stood up and pointed to the seedling field not far from the river to Zhang An's family.

"Yo, it seems that Yoko is planning to expand his business."

Zhang An could see the place Zhou Shuanglin pointed at at a glance.

That seedling field is not small, even if a house is built, there is still a lot of space.

The most important thing is the location, the terrain is right by the river.

Their family originally opened the Zhou's small restaurant by making fast food.

Thinking that the house was built by the river, and there is still such a spacious place, it is probably the idea of ​​expanding the store.

"I have this idea. After all, this place is at the entrance of the village, so it must be better than staying in the old house."

Zhang An also nodded, Zhou Yang's family considered it well.

Suddenly Zhang An's heart skipped a beat, and he felt a sudden discomfort.

There was a flash of discomfort.

It felt like something bad was about to happen.

But in the end why, it seems to be the feeling of not grasping it.

"What's wrong, uncle?"

Zhang An suddenly frowned, which was seen by Zhou Yang.

"Nothing, nothing."

Zhang An felt it all at once, and couldn't tell why.

After the matter was finished, Zhou Yang and his son sat in Zhang An's house for a while and then went back to invite other people.

There was nothing to do in the afternoon, so Zhang An decided to find a place to raise seedlings for Bodhisattva.

Just a few days ago, there was an open space in the backyard, which was used to sow rice seeds.

The above seedlings have been transplanted to the field in the past two days, and this place is suitable for raising seedlings of Bodhisattva.

Zhang An went to the backyard with a hoe, ready to dig through the empty space first.

"What are you doing digging this land? I plan to plant some beans in the next two days."

Seeing Zhang An digging the ground, Wang Fang asked casually.

"Don't worry about planting vegetables. I'll dig here first and put the Bodhisattva in the cellar."

These two days have just passed Qingming, which happens to be a good time for Bodhisattva breeding.

After a while, the rapeseed in the field will be harvested and the paddy field will be finished.

Transplant the raised seedlings in the seedling field to the field, and the empty seedling field can just be transplanted with Bodhisattva seedlings.

And tomorrow I have to dig the foundation for Zhou Yang's family, so I definitely don't have time.

Zhang An thought that he was free now, so he simply did the job, so as not to keep procrastinating.

"Bodhisattva still uses the cellar. When the big seedlings are finished planting, just scatter them on the top of the field."

Wang Fang had seen someone plant Bodhisattva in the past, and after the fields had been plowed, the Bodhisattva was directly scattered in the field, so she didn't care much about it.

I don't usually fertilize, the most I can do is to put water in the field, otherwise the Bodhisattva field will be dry.

Therefore, most of the bodhisattvas grown locally are small in size.

The most important thing is that the bodhisattvas that have been planted cannot be dug until the end of the year and the Chinese New Year.

The planting time is much longer than that of millet, and everyone didn't think about making money from this thing, so they just planted it casually.

"Mom, in this way, the seeds are bred first, and then transplanted after they grow up. The growth will be faster."

While digging the ground, Zhang An explained to his mother about the breeding of Bodhisattva.

I was afraid that she might not understand, so I explained to her with the example of rice breeding.

In this way, when Wang Fang heard it, she probably knew what was going on.

After Wang Fang heard this, she also took a hoe to dig the ground with Zhang An.

After the mother and son loosened and leveled the ground, Zhang An began to spread the Bodhisattva on it.

It doesn't matter if you spread Bodhisattva on the furrows, as long as the buds are facing straight up.

Zhang An took out a sack and laid out about twenty or thirty bags, which was almost enough.

The other bodhisattvas are kept for their own family to eat, after all, if this bag is all planted.

It may take several acres of land to plant, but Zhang An's seedling field is not very big, so there is no need for many Bodhisattva seedlings.

After Wang Fang laid out the Bodhisattva, she thought about taking out a sieve to sift the soil and cover it.

In their generation, the work of farming is like this, and they habitually do it carefully.

"Mom, you don't need to sieve the soil, just cover it with mud."

As Zhang An said, he directly covered it with soil.

This Bodhisattva is not like rice seeds. I am afraid that they will not sprout, so I have to sieve fine soil to cover them.

After finishing the Bodhisattva cellar, Zhang An was going to go out to see the watermelons and strawberries planted in the nest.

The temperature has gradually increased in the past two days, so we need to see how they look.

When Zhang An came to the nest, he saw the old uncle on the other side of the river in the seedling field.

"Uncle, what are you doing?"

Hearing someone shout, Zhang Jianwen straightened up and looked around, and found that it was Zhang An who was calling him.

"It's okay to do nothing, I'll come and dig out the water in the field. The water will start to rise soon, and it may not be possible to flood the seedling fields by then."

Although the old uncle's seedling field is on the other side of the river, it is much lower than Zhang An's melon nest.

"Isn't it a little early to dig the ditches these two days? There is no rapeseed."

In previous years, the ditches were dug only after the rapeseed was harvested and when the paddy fields were being harvested.

"It's not early at all. Now the head of the ditch is full of water. If it is blocked for a while, it will flood the fields."

Zhang Jianwen was talking to Zhang An while bending over to dig the ditch.

"According to this situation, there may be flooding this year. When there is nothing else to do, let's empty out the ditch first. If the water is flooded, it can be drained out."

Hearing the old uncle suddenly say that he was angry, Zhang An felt as if he had caught something.

After standing in the den and thinking for a long time, Zhang An finally remembered.

Yes, it is hair water.

I felt something was wrong before, but I just couldn't remember it for a while.

This year has been [-], and next year, there will be a major flood.

Zhang An didn't remember this incident because it was too long ago.

It's not Zhang An's fault, it's mainly because Changqing Village is located in a mountainous area, and only the crops in the fields were affected.

The houses in the village are all built against the back mountain, and most of them are on relatively high terrain.

Therefore, when there is a flood next year, no people or houses in the village will be affected.

The small river ditches in the mountains are usually full of flowing water.

As a result, when there was a flood, because the rain was relatively heavy, all the river ditches in the mountains were flooded with river water.

The river ditches that descended from the mountain finally converged into the big river.

In addition, the same situation is also true in the upper reaches of the big river, which was originally relatively deep.

The water level quickly rose, and finally did not cross the river bank.

It's not over yet, because the rain has been going on for days.

So after the river flooded its banks, it kept rising.

In the end, the paddy fields on both sides of the river bank were all submerged by the river.

The rice that has been planted has grown to a height of nearly one meter.

However, under the condition of flooding, no seedlings could be seen.

The water surface is as high as half a person, and all the millet is submerged in the bottom of the water.

Except for a few relatively high paddy fields that survived the disaster, most of the other paddy fields suffered a large reduction in production.

One place connects, everywhere connects, after Zhang An remembered, he knew in his heart why there was a sudden jump just now.

Because the seedling field where Zhou Yang's family planned to build a house was on the bank of the river.

As long as there is a flood, their home must be the first to be flooded.

Zhang An thought about reminding them later to see if they could change their minds and build a house in another place.

Otherwise, if a new house is built this year, the family will be flooded next year.

It's all here, and Zhang An is not in a hurry to go back, let's take a look at the situation in the den first.

The watermelons and strawberries planted in the nest were alright, but there was a problem that made Zhang An dumbfounded.

Zhang An was worried that these seedlings would not survive, so Zhang An poured space spring water on them several times.

Because the spring water has a magical growth effect on plants, but Zhang An seems to have forgotten it.

Not only watermelon and strawberry seedlings are plants, but weeds on the ground are also plants.

Now the watermelons and strawberries in the nest are growing very well, and each plant is growing vigorously and sending out new leaves.

But the various weeds on the ground are not bad, and now they have grown to cover the ground.

Now that the calves are finished, we have to come and weed them.

This is not a loess slope, these weeds are useless at all.

When they grow longer, these watermelons and strawberries may not be able to grab them.

There are a bunch of chickens, ducks and geese at home, but when those things come in, no matter whether you are grass or seedlings, they are all treated equally.

Because these watermelon seedlings and strawberry seedlings are growing fresh and tender now, they are very appetizing to them.

"Mom, the grass in that nest grows too high. Let's find some people to weed the grass while we're not too busy these two days."

When Zhang An returned home, he explained the situation in the nest.

Wang Fang still didn't believe it. How long did it take for the grass to grow so tall?

So she ran to the nest to take a look, and had to accept this fact.

Seeing the well-growing melon seedlings and weeds, Wang Fang couldn't help being suspicious.

Could it be that this den is still a piece of fertile land?

Otherwise, how could something that had just been planted grow like this.
