My village can't be like this

Chapter 56

During the third month of the lunar calendar, the villagers began to get busy.

At this time, every household must start preparing to sow rice seeds and cultivate seedlings.

The seedling fields left by the family for transplanting should also be hydroplowed.

Zhang An's family has a lot of paddy fields, so the seedling fields are large, about four or five cents in size.

Because the seedling fields of Zhang Jianguo's three brothers' families are all next to each other, in fact, it is a large piece of paddy field distributed to the three families.

So after Zhang Jianguo hitched the plow to the family's big black horse, he plowed for his own family, and also beat Zhang An's two uncles by the way.

There is no water in the seedling field in winter, because the time for transplanting seedlings conflicts with the maturity time of rapeseed, so most people like to use it to grow vegetables.

At the beginning of the year, all the vegetables in the field were cut, and it was just the time to transplant rice seedlings, so that the connection could be seamless and the fields would not be wasted.

When the sown rice seeds grow into seedlings and can be transplanted, the seedling fields that have been planted are almost ready.

At this time, it is time to start transplanting the small seedlings in the vegetable garden to the seedling fields.

Zhang An’s rice is soaked with spring water that Zhang An poured into the water tank, so after it is sprinkled, it grows fast.

When transplanting rice seedlings for the first time, the seedlings were not very big, mostly about ten centimeters in height.

Therefore, there is no need to leave gaps when transplanting, just insert seedlings one by one into the paddy field.

When Zhang An’s family moved seedlings, both the second aunt’s family and the third aunt’s family came to help, because Zhang An’s father helped plow the fields at home.

My own seedlings are not yet ready for transplanting, so I can help out with time.

Zhang An was also barefoot. He pulled his trouser legs up to his knees and went to the field.

At this time, there are many leeches in the paddy fields, and the leeches get stuck on them without paying attention.

It didn't take long for Zhang An to go to the field, and he was labeled blood-sucking by two leeches.

It made the two aunts say that Zhang An's legs are too white, and leeches like to stick to him.

Zhang An is not afraid either, who hasn't been sucked by leeches among rural children.

You can't pull this thing, the more you pull it, the more it penetrates into your flesh, and the suction cup on its head sucks you hard.

Transplanting small seedlings is a test of patience. You need to bend down to plant small seedlings in the field.

After a day, his waist couldn't bear it anymore, so Zhang An directly took a high stool from home and put it in the field.

The water didn't even pass the stool legs, so I sat on it and planted rice seedlings slowly, and now my waist, heel and back felt much more comfortable.

Everyone has followed suit. It is indeed much easier than in previous years to take a high stool from home to plant rice seedlings in the field.

The price is to go to the river to wash the mud on the stool when you come out of the field.

After the seedlings were planted and landed, they waited to harvest the rapeseed in the field, beat up the paddy fields at home, and waited to transplant the second seedlings. At that time, it was called planting big seedlings.

Basically, after more than 20 days, the small seedlings in the seedling field grow into large seedlings with a height of more than one foot.

In the free days later, Zhang An's family also helped their relatives move seedlings.

There is a lot of rain during the Qingming Festival, which is not wrong at all.

Before and after Qingming, one of the 24 solar terms, basically every day is cloudy and rainy.

In the evening, Zhang Jianfeng, the uncle of the fourth grandpa's family, came to the house and asked Zhang An to discuss something with Zhang An's father, Zhang Jianguo.

When we arrived at the fourth grandpa's house, many people had already arrived.

Calling everyone to come here is to discuss the big and small matters of ancestor worship in Qingming tomorrow.

Tomb-sweeping Day is a relatively grand day in the countryside.

Although Qingming has not yet been included in the national statutory holidays.

But people in the countryside attach great importance to it, and unlike the Spring Festival, the Spring Festival is celebrated at home.

On the day of Qingming, the whole family has to gather together and worship the ancestors together.

On Changqing’s side, worshiping ancestors during the Qingming Festival is called hanging paper, which means inserting grave marker paper on tombs, which means hanging green.

Because Grandpa Zhang An was gone, it turned out that the Second Grandpa's family was organizing this matter because their family was prosperous.

But then the uncles of the second grandfather's family had a quarrel, and they were at odds with each other, so the fourth grandfather took over the matter and let their family organize it.

Although only one person came from each family, except Zhang An's family who came to two, the main room of the fourth grandpa's house was almost full.

Such a family event, if there is no special situation in the family, they will come here.

Anyone who is not active in running will be beaten by the old man with a cigarette stick.

The little aunt held the teapot and poured tea for everyone one by one. Zhang An took the teapot after seeing it, and poured tea for all the uncles.

After all the people arrived, Fourth Grandpa and Second Grandpa started talking about things.

The juniors below just listen. Of course, if you have any questions, you can raise them in front of everyone.

But this set has been used for many years, and everyone has no objection and is used to it.

The main thing is that we need someone who comes out to organize and organize everyone.

Then each household collects money according to the head to purchase all the things for hanging paper on Qingming Day, including incense paper, candles and everyone's food.

Although the Zhang family is a common surname in Changqing, most of them are beyond the fifth service.

So this kind of thing is actually organized by people from my own lineage.

The other relatives are those who have something to do on weekdays, and everyone helps out.

There are a lot of people in Zhang An's family, but in fact, it is the second grandfather's family that has made a great contribution.

why. . .

Because of Zhang An's family, there are only eleven members of the three families.

As for the fourth grandpa's family, because several aunts have already married, there are only five people left.

But the second grandfather's family is different, their family is prosperous.

The second grandfather has five sons, five daughters-in-law, and eight grandchildren.

Calculated in this way, there are more than thirty people in their lineage.

In the evening of that day, everyone pooled up the money first, so that they could go shopping on the street the next morning.

Five yuan for adults and one yuan for dolls.

At that time, more refunds and less compensation will be made.

Early the next morning, it was just dawn.

Zhang An was called up by Zhang Jianguo, because the family had a car, so Zhang An must go with him to go shopping today.

After getting up and washing up, and eating the noodles cooked by Wang Fang, Zhang An came to the fourth grandpa's house.

Today, we will start fire preparations at the fourth grandpa's house, because their house is next to the well in the village, so water is more convenient, otherwise carrying water would be troublesome.

In the end, it was decided that the fourth grandfather, Zhang Jianguo, and the uncles of the second grandfather's family, Zhang Jianzhong and Zhang An, went shopping on the street.

That's why Zhang An took a fancy to pickup trucks at the time, because they could carry more people, and they could also pull goods.Although no one cares about it now, and you can be a person in the car body, safety is still important.

Zhang An drove very steadily, because there was an old man in the car, so Zhang An didn't drive too fast.

Come down from the mountain road in the village, enter the county road, and arrive at the town in a short while.

The fourth grandpa sighed that with this car, it is much more convenient to enter the city.

Many families in the village are also going to organize paper hangings today. Seeing that Zhang An's family drives to the streets to buy things, but their own family still has to walk to the town, they are all admonishing their children to study hard.

After growing up, he has to earn a lot of money and buy a car to go home like Zhang An.

In the eyes of most villagers, this is already regarded as the glory of the ancestors.
