Chapter 16 Going Home 【Please recommend, recommend】

the next day.

After breakfast, Chen Mo and his father went out to catch duckweed.

Yesterday, I took two fish ponds and one cart and ate them all. Today I brought back two carts.

Three catties of grass carp are very edible.However, when they are first put into the fish pond, these fish must be given an adaptation stage, and then the amount of food will be continuously increased.

The more you eat, the faster you grow.

After feeding the fish, Chen Mo took out the rechargeable water pump he bought online. This type of water pump comes with a pipe roll stand, and the pipe roll stand has 80 meters of pipe.

The 80-meter pipe is more than enough for use in the Chenmo orchard.

Throw the suction pipe into the reservoir and turn on the electricity.

Dad Chen helped pull the water pipe, and Chen Mo held the head of the water gun, mainly to water the fruit trees.By the way, I also watered the grass in the orchard.

The grasses are rye and alfalfa, and these grasses are fish grasses, which are used to feed the fish.

It has been a long time without rain, and the rye and alfalfa are not growing very well.

For two days, Chen Mo and his father watered the orchard in Daqiu.Then start pumping water up the mountain...

There are fertile tangerines on the mountain, which have been reclaimed to form terraced fields. The slope is not very steep, and the hillside is not too high.

The planting area of ​​Wogan is close to the size of two standard football fields.It is difficult to use a diesel pump to pump water up the mountain.

The suction lift of the water pump is 8 meters, and the lift is 30 meters.

The data was very good. Chen Mo went out to buy a special hose and came back to test it.

Almost enough to reach the top of the mountain.

Dad helped in the orchard for a few days and watered all the fruit trees in the orchard.

Wogan is blooming in large numbers here. If you need to apply fungicides, you have to do it at the end of the month or at the beginning of next month.

Navel oranges and tangerines are growing very well.

The seedlings I bought are said to be more than two years old.But those seedlings should only be about one and a half years old.

Up to now, it is close to the fourth age.And it has been more than two years since it was planted.

The fruit trees are growing very well. The main trunk is as thick as a wrist and the crown spreads over a large area. The diameter of the crown should be about 4 meters.

The flowering period of citrus is just right.

Here at the navel orange, the flowering period is about to pass, and there are small fruits on the trees.The bigger ones are bigger than pearls.The small one looks like it just bears fruit, but is a little bigger.This is the amount, so much.

Father Chen was observing the navel oranges and felt that there were too many fruits on the tree.

If some of these fruits do not fall, these navel orange trees will not be able to survive.There are too many fruits, and a lot of nutrients need to be absorbed.If more than half of the fruit does not fall later, you have to comb the fruit.If you don't comb the fruit, the fruit tree will definitely not be able to bear it.

Chen Mo grows some navel oranges and tangerines at home.The year before last, there were a lot of fruits. Because I was busy, I didn't comb the fruits. When the fruits started to grow, several fruit trees died.The fruit trees that were still alive also produced too many fruits, so the fruits they produced were small and sour.

When he got home, Chen Mo made tea in the carport.

"There are too many fruits on the tree." Father Chen said, "I saw that many of the fruits have become solid."

Chen Mo got a cup of tea for his father: "I will definitely pick some and throw them away later. It seems that oranges as big as thumbs can be sold for money?"

"It's bigger than a thumb. A few years ago, there were still people harvesting it, but in recent years, no one harvests that small fruit anymore." Father Chen said.

Those small oranges seem to be used as medicinal materials.Some people used to accept that kind of small green fruit, and the price was so expensive.In recent years, no one wants that kind of small green fruit.Probably because there are more people growing citrus now.Or someone still accepts it, that's the price, it won't be very good.

Dad drank tea and played chess on his mobile phone.

After finishing the work in the orchard, there was nothing else to do. After lunch, Father Chen said, "I'm going back."

"Are the rapeseeds at home going to be cut down?"

I grow some vegetables at home, as well as a [-]-cent field of rapeseed.

Here in the east, rapeseed can be harvested by May Day at the latest.

This year has been dry, and now in mid-April, the temperature is very high.The rapeseed is almost ready to be chopped and can be harvested after a few days of drying.

"It's already being chopped, why don't you go back and help." Father Chen said.

"Rapeseed is not valuable. I don't know what to do with it. It adds a lot of trouble." Chen Mo nodded and said.

"Millet is not valuable yet, why don't you eat it?" Dad Chen said angrily.

"We really don't want to plant millet this year." Chen Mo took the car keys and said, "Our harvesters can't even pass by now. It's very tiring to do it by hand."

"Your mother has raised the seedlings." Father Chen was about to get in the car. When he saw Xiao Hei running over, he picked up Xiao Hei and threw him into the car.

Chen Mo went to the driving seat and started the car: "How much?"

"7 points field."

"I'm not allowed to thresh grain." Chen Mo said.

"If you don't fight, whoever will fight." Father Chen teased Xiao Hei and said with a smile.

Xiao Hei swung his tail and looked at Chen Mo with his dark eyes.

It's not like it used to be.

In the past, Chen Mo's parents were still young, and they could finish the seven-point field in one day.

Now, the millet in the Qifen field has a threshing machine. The three of them have to work on it for almost two days.

To be honest, Chen Mo is in his thirties, and in terms of labor, he is not as good as his parents.Chen Mo didn't do too much heavy work.

"On our side, there is no harvester passing by now?" Chen Mo asked.

"There has been no harvester for a long time." Father Chen said.

The farmland in their village is mainly in Dacao.

Dacao is a valley with mountains on both sides and slightly flat land in the middle.In the past, one season of rapeseed was planted on the land of Dagou.When rapeseed is harvested, rice is planted.

Now, a lot of farmland in Dacao has been planted with fruit trees, or has been abandoned without anyone to manage it.There are not many rice farmers left, and no harvesters are willing to go there.

There is no money to be made from growing rice.

There have been no harvesters in recent years, and no one is willing to plant rice.

Chen Mo’s father also doesn’t want to grow rice.Last year, Chen's mother planted two fields of rice, and her father complained.Then Chen Mo used a forage harvester to harvest the rice, and Chen's father's resentment was not so great.

"Growing so much millet." Dad Chen saw the forage harvester on the roadside and said, "Is it because of that harvester?"

"What do you think?" Father Chen was also speechless.

Although the price of millet has increased by a few cents this year, it only costs more than one yuan per catty. One pound of millet cannot afford a bottle of mineral water...

In the past few years, there has been drought and water diversion has been troublesome.And without a harvester...

Chen Mo's forage harvester could only cut the grains and put them aside.To break down the grain, manpower is required.

For the millet in the 7-fen field, use a threshing machine, and it will take a day to make it faster.

"The millet from the 7-cent field can be sold for less than 1000 yuan. I told my father not to plant it. When the millet is threshed, let's go out and buy some millet and bring it back," Chen Mo said.

"Your mother said that you can eat the millet you grow yourself with peace of mind." Dad Chen said, "I don't want to grow millet either. You go and persuade your mother."

Chen Mo was 1 unwilling to grow millet in the mountainous area on their side, especially if he had to thresh the millet by hand.Although there is a threshing machine, but if you have to feed the millet to the thresher one by one, after threshing the millet for a day, your wrists will be cut by the leaves.
