Chapter 63 Planting Rice
Maybe it’s because of the heavy rain, or whatever, but this year’s spring came extra early. There are tender green sprouts of grass or wild vegetables everywhere, and many trees that have lost their leaves in autumn and winter also appear on the tree crowns. Leaf sprouts.

But there are also worries. Plants grow quickly, which means that weeds in the ground also grow quickly!
In order to prevent the weeds and crops in the fields from taking away the fertility and nutrients of the fields, all members of the Lao Xiang family mobilized to go to the fields to pull the weeds!

As mentioned before, Lao Xiang's family has a lot of land. In addition to Lao Xiangtou, there is also some land left by the ancestors. The three brothers of Lao Xiang were allotted land after they became adults. Although a large part of it is mountains and forests, not all of it is They are all divided into mountains and forests.

The fields near the water are all planted with rice, the fields farther away are planted with wheat and millet, and the dry lands are planted with various beans and some fruits.

It’s not like they didn’t grow anything at all in the forest they were assigned. The fields divided into small pieces were also stipulated. In addition to growing food, they also had to plant mulberry trees, elm trees, jujube trees, etc.!
Although no one came down to check, this was required by the entire county, so no one dared to defy such regulations.

Apart from wild fruits, Xiang Tiange eats the most fruits every year.

But she doesn't like it very much, because the dates grown in the forest at home have a very bland taste.

Although Lao Xiang’s family has a lot of land, they also have a lot of labor force!

Plowing and plowing the land is a matter for men, but Jiang and the others will also carry hoes and follow them into the fields to break up large pieces of soil and level the land.

Because there is a lot of rain, there is no need to irrigate the rice fields. Instead, we have to open an opening in the fields to let some water out!
When the seedlings were grown and ready to be planted in the fields, the Jiang family took Xiang Dalang and others who had returned from school to go down to the fields to plant the seedlings.

Of course, Xiang Tiange also went there. Although there was no shortage of her labor force, for the sake of fairness, Lao Xiangtou and others thought that it would not be too tiring to transplant rice seedlings. Moreover, it was a gloomy day and there was no sun, so they kept it. She followed him to the fields to plant rice.

This makes Xiang Tiange extremely happy!

This is her first time planting rice seedlings!

Taking a handful of seedlings from her mother's hand, she followed the example of the adults next to her, picked out a seedling, bent down and inserted it into the field.

But it was Xiang Tiange's first time to plant rice seedlings, and the field was full of water and mud, so the rice seedlings she had just planted were unstable. Soon, the rice seedlings she had just planted floated on the water.

Seeing this, Xiang Erlang on the side stepped forward to teach her: "Bamei, you have to hold the bottom like this, insert it vertically, and insert it deeper into the mud so that it can be inserted firmly and not fall over. Come down, let alone surface!"

Then Xiang Tiange tried the method taught by his second brother and inserted another seedling. Sure enough, this time the seedling stood firmly in the ground, not crooked or floating!
Xiang Tiange was very happy. She felt that she had learned how to plant rice seedlings. She waved her hand: "Okay, okay, second brother, go and plant the rice seedlings over there. I have learned it!"

Xiang Erlang, who originally wanted to give some more advice, heard her words and could only return to his corner and plant the seedlings.

In the end, although Xiang Tiange finished planting her part of the seedlings, they were either planted very densely or very sparsely. In the small area where she planted the seedlings, Wang finally went over and reworked them and planted them neatly again. .

However, Xiang Tiange didn’t feel that he was not good at planting rice at all. When he went to school the next day, he even showed off to his friends that he had learned to plant rice!
"Really? Can I learn to plant rice seedlings with you?" Qu Xiang was also curious. He had never been in the fields, let alone planted rice seedlings.

Hearing his request, Xiang Tiange puffed up his chest, feeling like he had finally surpassed his friends, "Of course, don't worry, I will teach you how to plant rice seedlings! Let me tell you, this rice seedling transplanting is awesome inside. You're so particular." Then Xiang Tiange boasted to Qu Xiang!
Of course, it is impossible for Lao Xiang’s family to plant all the rice seedlings in one day. Although there are many people, there are also many fields to plant rice seedlings!
It will take at least another three to five days before all the seedlings can be planted in the rice fields at home.

So when school was over in the afternoon, Xiang Tiange took Qu Xiang to the field.

Lao Xiang's family looked at Young Master Qu who was standing next to his grandson, nephew, and daughter. He heard that the other party was also coming to help plant rice in the fields. Although he wanted to refuse, looking at the other party's expression of interest and happiness, Lao Xiang Some people at home can't refuse.

So they allocated a smaller field and let their smaller children live in that field. As for planting rice seedlings or playing, it doesn't matter!

It's just a piece of land that doesn't get a share. At most, they can just add seedlings later.

Then Qu Xiang also had a lot of fun, and he and Xiang Tiange came ashore covered in mud, and said to her: "Planting rice seedlings is fun, can I come back tomorrow to help you plant rice seedlings?"

Xiang Tiange has been coming for two days in a row, and she actually doesn’t want to come tomorrow. But when her friend said this, she nodded happily and agreed!

But when they wanted to come with their brothers after school the next day, they were rejected.

"Grandpa specifically said it when he went out in the morning. You and Rokuro and Qilang are all playing at home. You don't have to go to the fields. There aren't many seedlings left. We can plant them all today and tomorrow!" Xiang Shiro said to them.

Xiang Tiange said: "Then if we go today, wouldn't it be faster? Maybe we can finish planting the seedlings today, so we don't have to go back tomorrow and can rest at home!"

Xiang Dalang and others looked at each other, and finally said the last words that Lao Xiangtou said truthfully.

"Actually, grandpa also said that in the fields where you have planted the seedlings, the seedlings are either dense or sparse, and they have to come back to do the work again to make them even busier, so I don't want you to go to the fields to plant the seedlings again!"

After hearing this, Xiang Tiange pouted slightly and said nothing. He watched the older brothers change into the clothes they wore for farm work and went out.

Qu Xiang on the side was not discouraged and said quietly to her: "It's okay, I can't go to your land, I have it! I asked my grandmother, and my house is planting rice now!"

Xiang Tiange's eyes lit up, and then the two of them walked out of the door while Xiang Liulang and Xiang Qilang were not paying attention, and trotted all the way to the Qu family's fields.

The Qu family is indeed planting rice now, and because the land of the Qu family is good, they basically grow rice, but there are not many varieties of beans!

However, in addition to long-term workers, the Qu family also hired part-time workers to do spring planting. For example, in Taohua Village, many villagers applied for the part-time workers. However, Lao Xiang's family did not go this year, because in addition to spring planting this year, There are also yams in the fields that have to be worked on. They are really busy and can’t spare any manpower to go to Qu’s house to work.
