"In two days."

"Brother, I will go back to the dyeing room tomorrow to ask for leave and come back to help you plant rice seedlings!" Ke Baosheng's eyes were shining brightly.

"No, you have to deduct your wages if you ask for leave, so you can't ask for it!" Ke Shuisheng refused his brother's help without thinking.

"Brother, isn't it just a matter of a few days? If you can't deduct a few pennies, that's it." Ke Baosheng looked a little excited.

Before the family was separated, he had to work hard to earn money to help support the family, but now he only earns so much money to do what he does, and now he only wants to do what he likes.

"Mother, we can't delay the time for planting rice seedlings. Tomorrow, you can go to grandpa's house to see if uncle and uncle can get a few people from their family to help us plant rice seedlings." Ke Hanxue bit her chopsticks and said, asking for help from grandpa and uncle , Ke Hanxue is not polite.

But as soon as Ke Hanxue opened his mouth, he was opposed by Ke Shuisheng: "We are enough for transplanting rice seedlings, and they have been delayed for several days by plowing the ground a while ago, so don't bother them this time."

Ke Shuisheng is a very self-conscious person, and the Zhong family doesn't mean that they have nothing to do. There are so many mulberry gardens and silkworm farms in their family waiting for them to work, how can they be called every time they have something to do?

"Father, I know what you're worried about. Uncle and Uncle have a lot of people in their family. If you spare a few days to help them, you won't be able to delay their affairs. Otherwise, I wouldn't dare to ask them to come and help. Your job of pulling a bullock cart is a lot of money." We must not stop, we must be trustworthy in business, we must not break our promise, and we must not let the shopkeeper and folks of 'Zhou Ji' disappoint us." Ke Hanxue said earnestly.

"That's right, brother, if your ox cart stops, you will miss everyone's business." Ke Baosheng rarely spoke to persuade Ke Shuisheng.

Ke Mengshi saw that Dafang's family easily made a decision not to raise silkworms after a few words, and discussed the matter of transplanting rice seedlings, so she smiled gratifiedly. It seemed that he could worry less about Dafang in the future.

Under the persuasion of Ke Baosheng and Ke Hanxue, Ke Shuisheng finally nodded and agreed to let Zhong's family come to help, and promised not to leave the work of pulling the ox cart.

The next day, Ke Zhong told Ke Jiang about the family's decision, saying that he would lend her the silkworm house and mulberry garden.

Ke Jiangshi was taken aback when she heard this. Silkworm breeding is related to the family's livelihood. How can you say that if you don't raise silkworms, you won't raise them?
It took Ke Zhong a lot of talking to convince Ke Jiang that his family had really decided not to raise silkworms, and it would be a waste to have an empty silkworm house, so they lent it to her.

At first, Ke Jiangshi was afraid to ask for Dafang's mulberry garden and silkworm house. Later, when Ke Zhongshi was angry, he accepted Dafang's kindness in a mixed mood of happiness and embarrassment.

As soon as the Zhong family heard that Ke Zhong's family was going to plant rice seedlings, before Ke Zhong could speak, they took the initiative to say that they would come in two days.

Because of the plan, Ke Shuisheng brought back two bags of food from the town the day before the rice planting, including chicken, big bones, meat, fish, a bag of rice and some seasonings.

When Ke Weijie saw Ke Shuisheng brought back so many things, he also ran to Ke Yushi and cried loudly, saying that he also wanted to eat chicken and meat. He went to find his father, Ke Xisheng!

Dafang's family pretended not to hear the noise from Ke Yu's side, but Ke Meng's grandma sighed sadly for her grandson.

The next day, as soon as Ke Shuisheng went out with the ox cart, a large group of Zhong's family came. They didn't even enter the yard, but went to the field after shouting outside the yard.

Ke Hanxue hurriedly explained a few words to Ke Mengshi, and went to the field behind the Zhong family with the things that had been prepared to pull the seedlings, as well as the hoe and Ke Baosheng.

When Ke Hanxue and Ke Baosheng came to the field, they saw a group of Zhong family members standing on the ridge of the field staring at the two seedling fields, not knowing what to do.

Ke Hanxue smiled, took off his shoes and walked outside the seedling field. First, he carefully dug up the seedlings with a layer of mud with a hoe, then grabbed the seedlings and shook them lightly, and threw them to the other side waiting for transplanting. Daejeon.

"Ah——" Ke Hanxue's uncle exclaimed: "Xue'er, can you kill the seedlings by shaking like this?"

Ke Hanxue chuckled and said, "Uncle, if you can't die like this, please wait a moment."

Ke Baosheng stood on the field and watched Ke Hanxue's movements with bright eyes.

Ke Hanxue made an open space in the seedling field, and then put the self-made seedlings on the open space, and then put the dug seedlings on it, and then said to the big cousin: "Big cousin, you put this first Pull it to the farthest field, and we will insert it from the farthest field."

The big cousin was also very interested in this novel thing, excitedly pulled up the rope and took two steps, then turned to Ke Hanxue and smiled: "Hey, it's quite interesting."

"But how do you insert this seedling?" Ke Hanxue's second cousin and others asked at a loss, this is also the first time for them to insert seedlings.

"Wait for the big cousin to pull the seedlings over, and I will go over and teach everyone how to plant them later."

"Okay, then I'll pull it over first."

After watching the big cousin leave, Ke Hanxue lowered his head to dig the seedlings again, planning to dig a little more before going to teach the uncle how to plant the seedlings.

"Xue'er, let me do it." Ke Baosheng saw that Ke Hanxue was struggling to pick up the hoe, so he took it.

"Uncle, be careful, don't hurt the seedlings." Ke Hanxue warned worriedly.

"I know."

Ke Baosheng and Ke Hanxue made the thing for pulling the seedlings together. This is to use two half-sized branches to fix a piece of cloth removed from the old clothes, and after fixing it, tie a piece of cloth at both ends of the cloth. Rope, so that the removed seedlings can be placed on the cloth, and can be pulled at will in the paddy field. Using this thing to pull the seedlings can reduce a lot of labor.

"Xue'er, how did you get this thing?" The Zhong family stood on the ridge of the field in amazement and watched the big cousin easily pull so many seedlings to the other side of the field, and couldn't help asking.

"I heard what others said last time." Ke Hanxue perfunctory to everyone, then stood up and said to Zhong Detian and others: "Come on, I will teach you how to plant rice seedlings."

The Zhong family all took off their shoes, rolled up their clothes, rolled up their trousers, and followed Ke Hanxue.

A group of people came to the big cousin, Ke Hanxue broke off a large piece of seedlings, and said to everyone while doing it: "Hold the seedlings with your left hand, separate a few plants with your right hand, and then insert them into the ground like this. It can't be too deep or too deep." It can’t be too shallow, the distance should be about the same, it can’t be too sparse or too dense.”

Watching Ke Hanxue bent over while inserting and retreating, a small piece of land was inserted in a short while.

Zhong Detian looked at it for a while, and couldn't help asking: "Xue'er, I don't think your posture is like the first time you planted this seedling?"
