Farmer's happy event

Chapter 26 Spring Ploughing

Since the beginning of February, there have been several light rains in succession, which have absorbed enough water in the originally dry land, and it is so moist that it indicates a good harvest this year.

After the Waking of Insects, the people of Liujiazhuang began to work happily in spring plowing, and Lianzi's family was no exception.

In the past, the whole family worked together. This year, the family was divided, and the two-acre three-level land was also divided. Naturally, the hometown and the big house would no longer care about them. The only thing they could rely on was themselves.

Liu Jingren chose a fine day, and drove the ox cart borrowed from Zhou Tongli's family to the ground. In the cart were Mrs. Yang and four girls. It could be said that the whole family went out together.

Long before deciding to plow the land, Lianzi came to see it first.Because this kind of spring peanut land was left uncultivated last winter, the soil fertility is acceptable. As long as moisture conservation and fertilization are done well, there will be no problem with a good harvest.

As for the fertilizer, there is no chemical fertilizer in this era, so the lotus seeds can only use the most primitive pure green organic fertilizer.But her family didn't have any livestock, and naturally there wasn't much excrement, so she could only mix a small amount of excrement with rotten straw, and asked Liu Jingren to add pot bottom ash and soil to it, and it took more than half a month before it was sent to the ground. inside.

When they got to the field, Liu Jingren parked the car on the ground, and Yang took down the agricultural tools and seeds from the car, and divided the seeds into several baskets.

Liu Jingren led the ox, put on the plow, yelled, and slapped the whip on the ox's buttocks. The old scalper mooed a few times and walked forward slowly.

When the family was not separated before, the plowing was Liu Jingren's job, so he was naturally familiar with it.

The two acres of land must not be planted today, so Liu Jingren only plowed one acre first, and the remaining half will be plowed tomorrow.

After plowing the land, he and Mrs. Yang began to use the shovel to make the ridge, and then put the rake on the neatly laid ridge and began to pull it forward. Sister Lianzi helped push the rake behind, so that the Yang Shi and Liu Jingren can save some effort.

After all these were done, the newly turned land that was still in a mess just now was neatly laid out in front of them one by one, and Lianzi couldn't help admiring Liu Jingren's skills.

The next thing to do is the jack.Yang Shi and Liu Jingren each took a wooden fork and inserted holes in front.Every time they insert it, two small holes will appear side by side in the soft furrow.Lianzi and Guzi followed Yang, and Lizi and Douzi followed Liu Jingren. Each of them had a basket hanging on their arm, grabbed a handful of peanut seeds from the basket, and put two seeds in each hole.

This kind of peanut process is not unfamiliar to Lianzi, and she often followed her to do this work in her previous life, so she is naturally very familiar with it.Originally, she thought that if the weather was still dry, she would soak the seeds in water overnight before planting, but there was enough rain in February, so there was no need to soak the seeds again.

Although it is close to the vernal equinox, the weather is still slightly cold. To make peanuts grow better during the budding stage, moisture must be preserved.In the era of lotus seeds, the best method was of course mulch, but here, such a simple thing has become a luxury, and in the end it can only be replaced by leaves and dead grass.

The whole family worked lightly and planted an acre of land before the sun went down. They called it a day and went home. Yang started to wash his hands and cook.

Now their family no longer needs to only drink porridge for every meal. This evening, in addition to cooking a large pot of rice soup, Mrs. Yang also steamed stick noodles with freshly picked wild vegetables and salt, which tasted very delicious. sweet.If it was in the past when the family was not separated, she would have worked tirelessly for a whole day, and after returning home, Shen would not be willing to put an extra drop of oil in the dishes.

After eating, the whole family went to rest on the big kang.

The kang to be placed in the west room has not been built well, because although their lives are much better now, the money they earned has been spent almost the same, so things like building the kang can only be temporarily delayed.

Because there is only one acre left without planting, there is no need to get up early and work late at night, and the weather is not unbearably hot, so we have to do more work before the sun comes out, so the family does not go to the field early the next day.It wasn't until the sun had risen that I drove the ox cart out.

Lianzi sat on the rickety ox cart, walking all the way looking at the weeds in the roadside ditch.At first glance, these weeds look disorganized, and no one will pay attention to them, but if you look carefully, you can find many medicinal herbs among them.

She was planning to wait for the peanuts to be finished, so she took advantage of the time to pick them with her sisters, when she suddenly saw a familiar figure in front of her.

"It's not just that the enemy's road is narrow!" Lianzi said in her heart, and at the same time she thought to herself, this time she has a lot of adults, as long as he doesn't ask for trouble, she won't bother with him.

Lianzi saw Zhang Zihe, and Zhang Zihe also saw her, and immediately threw away the wicker swinging in his hand, and resumed his cockfighting appearance again.

"Hey, little girl, come down for me! Master, I'm going to teach you a lesson this time!" He said as he rolled up his pink sleeves.

Yang Shi and Liu Jingren had seen Zhang Zihe last time in shopkeeper Zhang's shop, but unexpectedly met him at this time, they couldn't help feeling a little headache.

"Master Zhang", Yang was a little displeased, "We have to go to the field in a hurry."

Zhang Zihe didn't care: "I don't care what you do, if you want to go, let her come down and be kicked by me." He pointed to the lotus seeds on the cart, and at the same time opened his arms, blocking the way of the bullock cart.

"Hey, come down for me—ouch!" Zhang Zihe suddenly cried out in pain.

Lianzi looked at Lizi sitting next to her in disbelief. She didn't know when she threw a small stone and hit Zhang Zihe on the forehead.

Zhang Zihe got annoyed, looked around, and also wanted to pick up small stones from the ground.

Where would Lizi give him a chance to fight back, he jumped off the car immediately.

"Chestnuts." Mrs. Yang shouted anxiously. Shopkeeper Zhang is their current main source of income, and they cannot be easily cut off.She was still very clear about her girl's temperament, and she was afraid that Lizi would hurt Zhang Zihe if he did something indiscriminate.

Li Zi ignored Yang's yelling, Yang was in a hurry, and pushed Liu Jingren, who was driving in front of the car, down to pull the two children away. Unexpectedly, when he turned around, he found that Lian Zi, who had been sitting quietly just now, also jumped out of the car.

"Ancestor!" Yang yelled helplessly, and jumped out of the car first.

After Li Zi got out of the car, he kicked Zhang Zihe in the ass while he bent down to pick up stones.

Zhang Zihe couldn't stand still, and fell forward, screaming non-stop.

Before he got up, Lianzi stepped on his butt a few more times, leaving black shoe prints on his pink shirt.

"I didn't want to be as knowledgeable as you, who told you to find trouble when you have nothing to do?" Lianzi said and stepped on a few more feet.

"Oh, that's enough." Yang hurriedly pulled the lotus seeds and chestnuts away, and helped Zhang Zihe who was on the ground, "Master Zhang, you should go back quickly, we have to hurry to work in the fields." !"

Although Zhang Zihe was a year older than Lianzi and the same age as Lizi, but usually when he caused troubles and fights, his own servants would come forward.Today he slipped out to play by himself, and wanted to ask the servant to help, but he couldn't find it.For a while, he could only be in a hurry, and even used his ability to act coquettishly and shamelessly.

"You guys injured the young master, this time the young master will rely on you, don't even think about leaving!" He limped to the side of the car, raised his legs and was about to climb up.

Lianzi and Lizi saw that he was going to get in the car, rushed over a few steps, and said, "Who allowed you to get in my car, get out of here!"

Not only did Zhang Zihe not leave, but he held onto the car tightly with both hands, unable to break it apart no matter how hard he tried.

Seeing that this stalemate continues is not a problem, they still have to plant that acre of peanuts today.Yang had no choice but to say: "All right, all right, let him follow.

After listening to Yang's words, Lianzi and Lizi snorted at him and climbed into the car.

Zhang Zihe saw that the two fierce girls didn't want to stop him anymore, and got into the car, and sat next to the lotus seeds.

Lianzi didn't want to pay attention to him, so she moved to the side.

"She is the fiercest in your family, and you are second." Zhang Zihe pointed to Lianzi, and said to Lizi next to Lianzi.

Li Zi curled her mouth and stopped talking to him, while Lian Zi gave him a hard look and didn't talk to him.

Because of Zhang Zihe's arrival, the bustling car just now fell silent.Liu Jingren drove the ox cart silently, whipping the ox's butt from time to time and yelling twice.Mrs. Yang held the farm tools in one hand and the beans sitting on the side of the cart with the other.Douzi and Guzi are naturally not very talkative, while Lianzi and Lizi are angry, so naturally they are not in the mood to play around.

Zhang Zihe also felt that no one was paying attention to him, his little self-esteem seemed to be trampled on, he tore at Lianzi's clothes, and asked, "What are you going to do when you go to the field?" At this moment, maybe he realized that he was still riding in someone else's car, Perhaps because of being overwhelmed by the actions of the sisters Lianzi and Lizi, their tone was gentle, even flattering.

"None of your business!" Lianzi roared at him, and added, "Shameless."

Zhang Zihe was ashamed, and hummed: "You don't want to know if you don't tell my master."

Having said that, he still asked Lianzi about things along the way, even though he was scolded by Lianzi again and again, he still never tired of it.

Lianzi understood that he was not only conceited, but also thicker than a city wall.It seems that to deal with this kind of person, it is not enough to deal with it, you have to come directly to the military.

When they got to the field, Liu Jingren unloaded the cart and took the oxen to plow the field. Zhang Zihe got out of the cart too and walked around the field with his hands behind his back.On his pink shirt, there are a few small shoe prints arranged in a haphazard manner on the buttocks, which looks very funny.

"Master Zhang, the sun will become poisonous soon, you should sit in the shade under the car." Yang was afraid that the heat would ruin Zhang Zihe later, so she didn't dare to let him bask in the sun.

Lianzi was dissatisfied, when dealing with this arrogant child, she should ignore him, and immediately said: "Mother, don't worry about him."

Zhang Zihe looked at the chestnut sitting in the shade under the car, and said, "I don't want to sit here!" Then he got off the ground.

Not long after it rained, his little pink boots were immediately covered with mud.
