Salted Fish Dad, Passive Farming

Chapter 56 Rice transplanting, dog on dog?
Suddenly, Ji Ran was awakened by the alarm clock at [-]:[-].

Whenever his daughter goes to school, he will set the alarm clock to this time.

After getting dressed and going downstairs, I opened the door and saw a mist.

There was a heavy fog last night, and the whole village was surrounded by clouds and fog, like a fairyland in Penglai.

Visibility is low.

Considering that it would be unsafe to pick up or send my daughter to the kindergarten in a foggy day, and because there will be rice planting at home today, Ji Ran sent a WeChat message to the director of the kindergarten, Zhou Fang, and asked her daughter to take a day off.

Even if it wasn't foggy, Ji Ran wouldn't let his daughter go to school today.

The reasons are as follows:

It's noon on the day of hoeing, and the sweat is dripping from the soil on the ground;
Who knows dishes on the menu, A Journey.

How many children today can't recite this poem backwards?

But how many children have really understood and experienced "every grain is hard-won"?
Even if you ask them where the rice comes from, they will tell you loudly: bought it from the store!
Ji Ran didn't want to express any opinions on this phenomenon. This was not something he should or could manage.

He just wants his children to know, understand, and deeply appreciate 'why food is hard to come by'.

Let your daughter participate in the "Origin of Rice" throughout the process.

"Wang Wang, Wang Wang..."

Seeing Ji Ran open the door, the dog jumped out of the kennel, twisted its hips, wagged its tail, jumped on its body, wanted to lick its face... all kinds of courtesies.

Looking at its urinary behavior, Ji Ran knew what it wanted to do.

"Wait a minute, bring your father-in-law some more things, so that you can win his favor faster."

As a visitor, Ji Ran went back to the house, packed two kilograms of loach in a bag, took precautions to prevent damage, and brought it to Wang Zai.

"Go, come back on time when the sun goes down in the afternoon."

After explaining, he patted the dog's head, and Wang Zai went excitedly, and disappeared into the thick fog in the blink of an eye.

Ji Ran was still a little worried when he let the dog go yesterday, fearing that the meat bun would get beaten... Now that the dog came back safely and was so excited when he came back... Ji Ran was basically relieved.

By the way, Ji Ran also wants to realize his fantasy as soon as possible.

Dragging one for more is actually the second priority.

The key point is that Wang Zai, who was blessed by the cute pet card of the 'Elf', and the offspring jointly produced by him and the same dog breed, are there some monsters like him?

Ji Ran expressed some expectation.

……

The rising sun gradually dispersed the dense fog.

In Jiangbian Village, in the fields and ridges, turbid water rolls in the channels and rushes towards the river.

After a day and a night of water receding, the ridges in the lowest areas of the field ridges were exposed.

There is no obstacle to transplanting rice seedlings.

Almost all the people left behind in the village joined the battle, pulling the seedlings in their respective seedling fields.

Meng Kai is here too, he wants to pay off his gambling debts.

His mother-in-law didn't come because she had something to do. He originally wanted to bring Liang Mao to experience it, but Da Mao and Er Mao had to go to school.

Going to elementary school is different from going to kindergarten. I am worried that my two hairs will not be able to keep up with their studies, so I dare not let them ask for leave.

"Oh, Dad, I tore the rice fields apart again."

Douhua was wearing shorts, with her butt pouted, and she was also pulling seedlings in the field.

Of course Ji Ran had taught her how to pull seedlings, but after all, she was young and inexperienced, so it was not easy to get started, and the situation often happened.

"Hey, I'm talking about the big niece of Douhua, don't throw away the torn seedlings." Meng Kai answered her words seriously.

"Ah?" Douhua asked in confusion, "The roots are broken, how can you still survive?"

Meng Kai said, "I'm sure you won't be able to live if you plant it, but you can ask your dad to fry it for you at noon."

"Are the rice seedlings edible?" Douhua didn't believe it after being deceived by Uncle Kaizi.

Meng Kai licked his mouth teasingly, "Not only is it edible, it tastes absolutely delicious."

"So delicious?" Douhua looked at her father, who gave her a wink, she understood immediately, and said to Meng Kai seriously, "Then fry it for you, you are not allowed to eat it for lunch, Uncle Kaizi For other dishes, you can eat fried rice shoots."

Being turned against the general, Meng Kai was depressed, and his eldest niece was getting smarter and harder to be funny.

……

Pulling seedlings is a very boring and boring thing.

Bending for a long time can easily cause pain in the waist.

Not farmers, there are really few people who can do this well with patience and patience.

Meng Kai is just a descendant of farmers and has not farmed in more than ten years.After tugging and tugging, the guy deserted and fished in the rice field.

It's not fishing like soy sauce, it's real fishing.

Yesterday, the river flowed backwards, and the fields and ridges were completely flooded. Many aquatic species came into the Qingjiang River.

Ji Ran remembers that when he was a child, the fields with receding water were a paradise for adults.

They carry electric fish machines on their backs and sweep back and forth in the fields.

Loach, eel, and various fish are carried home in one basket after another.

There are often villagers who shock big fish, or even giants.

Later, the electric fish machine was explicitly banned, and the punishment was gradually increased, and this scene slowly disappeared into the river of history.

……

Someone was fishing, while Ji Ran and the others took it upon themselves to pull the rice seedlings, including the bean curds, seriously.

When her back was sore, she stood up and punched it, then bent down and pulled it.

Looking at someone's performance and comparing it with his daughter's performance, Ji Ran was very relieved.

Pull a handful of seedlings and tie them up with strings made from bamboo shoot leaves.

After pulling two loads of rice seedlings, Wu Lanting stayed and continued to pull, while Ji Ran and his father each picked up a load and went to plant the rice seedlings.

My family will plant two acres of rice this year.

Except for the hilly field where the seedlings were grown, which was dug by myself, the other fields were plowed by the old man who fed the cows in the village, and the cost was more than 100 yuan per mu.

Speaking of farming in a small way, it is really useless.

Plowing fields costs money, grain seeds cost money, fertilizers cost money, pesticides cost money, harvesting costs money...

From raising seedlings, to transplanting, to prevention, to harvesting, to drying, a lot of time and effort must be invested...

But how much millet can one acre of land produce?

How many coppers is worth a catty of millet?

Calculating the accounts casually, it feels boring.

In addition to farming a large area, become a farmer.The farmers who are doing their jobs and cultivating a few acres of thin fields have no future, and they will have no future in this life.

The reason why there are still old farmers who insist on farming is that first of all, they have been dealing with the fields all their lives and they really can’t bear to see it abandoned;

Second, you can eat the food you grow yourself with peace of mind.

I would like to ask, in the current agricultural product market, how many foods can you really eat with confidence?

……

Pick the seedlings on the ridge of the field, and spread them as evenly as possible, so that the seedlings in your hand are ready to be taken by your side after transplanting.

After throwing out the rice seedlings, the rice transplanting process officially begins.

"Douhua, don't insert the seedlings too deep into the mud, and don't stick to the surface of the mud... Also, pay attention to the spacing between the front, back, left, and right of each seedling you insert..."

"Whether you plant the seedlings well or not will directly affect their growth and the final harvest..."

While planting seedlings by himself, Ji Ran corrected her daughter's mistakes.

……

I planted the rice until evening, and when I came back from work, the dog came back too, even more excited than when he came back yesterday.

Plant seedlings for a whole day the next day.

After planting all the two acres of fields, it was still the work of harvesting in the evening.

The dog, who went out with his things in the morning and came back on time, was even more excited today, but his legs were obviously a little weak when walking.

When Ji Ran saw it, he immediately grinned. As expected of a dog blessed by the cute pet of the 'elf', the licking skill is good, and the speed of taking it down is fast.

Uncontrollably in my mind, I created a picture of 'dogs on top of dogs'.

Ji Ran felt that he was one step closer to realizing his fantasy, and the word "six" was at least a little bit there.
