first-class pretty peasant woman

Chapter 42

There is still a big piece of it, he will tear off more, and the wife will be able to tear less later.

After tearing up the seedlings and having breakfast, Jinxiu fed Erba to his full, filled up her excrement and urine, wrapped her in a blanket, and dragged the whole family to the edge of Jinxiu's cold water field.

Qin Dayong surrounded one-third of the cold water field and separated it with a short muddy ridge.The six seedling fields are like tofu blocks horizontally in the field, except for the water in the gaps between the two, the rest are all mud exposed on the surface.

And what they have to do is to insert all the small seedlings they picked on the mud one by one according to a fixed distribution ratio.

Next to the field of Dayong's house, there is an open field, because there are large and small stones, it has not been dug out to become a field.Jinxiu took the open space and put the Zhixue sisters on it, and the four adults went down to the field to plant rice seedlings together.

Everyone has rich experience in planting big seedlings.But this planting of seedlings is very unfamiliar to Qin Dayong and the brothers and sisters of the Zhong family.Although they all rolled up their trouser legs and went to the field, they all stood helplessly in the mud, quietly waiting for Jinxiu's instructions.

In memory, this was the first time Su Jinxiu went to the ground.In the past, Qin Dayong always regarded her as a treasure, and she herself really didn't understand farming, and she never participated in it at all.

This year is different, Qin Dayong loves her just the same.But she needs to go down to the ground to be a teacher and guide.

I saw her lift her off-white trouser legs up to above her knees.Under the refraction of the sun's rays, the white legs and feet exude a dazzling light.

It was so white and clean that the Zhong family brothers and sisters felt that those feet were not for going to the fields at all.But Jinxiu didn't hesitate at all, she grabbed onto the ridge of the field with both hands, slid, and stood in the field.

In the pool between the seedlings in the field, the mud quickly covered her calves and stopped just below her knees.

For everyone's convenience, Jinxiu specially brought four worn-out Shauki from home to hold the seedlings.The place where she went to the field was next to the other half of the field separated by Qin Dayong. The water in the field was deep and clear, and all the seedlings they came with were submerged in the water with the seedlings and baskets.Jinxiu took a Shau Kei, first carefully took out the seedlings from the basket, and waved them in the clear water to wash away the soil from the roots of the seedlings, so that the seedlings could be easily separated from each other.

When the other people saw it, they leaned against the basket one after another, imitating Jinxiu's movements to wash the seedlings.

After finishing a set of movements, Jinxiu went straight to the edge of the seedlings regardless of whether they could keep up with the rhythm or not, and started planting.

Pick up a handful of seedlings with one hand, separate the seedlings one by one with the other hand, hold the grains with your fingertips and gently press them on the slightly dry mud.Immediately, a finger-sized small nest emerged from the mud, and the young seedlings also stayed in the small nest, swaying in the breeze against the field, still immature.

By the time the three of them had washed a load of shauji seedlings, half of the seedling field in front of Jinxiu had already been planted half a foot away.Standing on the side, looking down, the neat rows of small holes looked like they were drilled by a machine, and they were neither tilted nor inclined. The three of them were amazed.

"Jinxiu, you are good at transplanting rice seedlings. I heard Dayong said that you want to plant small rice seedlings. I wondered, you, who can't do any farm work, how did you think of these things? Besides, you can actually transplant rice seedlings. Why did you Didn’t you go down to help with the work before?”

Jinxiu laughed when she heard the sound.

"Didn't they have a family in the past?" Jiaochen glanced at Qin Dayong, and bowed his head in embarrassment.

"Not doing it doesn't mean I don't know about these things. My father is a scholar. Are there any books in his study? I just read them in those books."

In this rural area, there are only a few people who can read and study.Besides, who knows what kind of books Su Lishan had collected at home when he was alive, and now she just let her make it up.

Zhong Qing listened and nodded.That's right, there used to be three men in the Qin family, and Li Shi and Aunt Qin were also good at work, so they didn't need Jinxiu's help at all.It's different now, they have two children to raise, and they have to go to the field if they don't.

"But you planted so densely, when they open up, can they produce ears of corn? Even if there are ears, can they swell and fill up?" In their house, the grain buds are directly scattered in the rice seedlings, and when they grow up If they are one foot high, they will all be pulled up and divided into the whole field to plant them.But Jinxiu's method was tossed about at home first.

"My method is different from yours in the early stage, and I still have to plant big seedlings later. Maybe I will have to ask you for help at that time, ha ha."

"Second sister-in-law, aren't you a waste of time? You have spent one more time planting small seedlings than ours." Zhong Hong stood opposite Jinxiu, and imitated the half of Jinxiu's planting Insert it like a gourd painting a scoop.Qin Dayong and Zhong Qing opened another seedling field, half of them planted facing each other.

"I don't want to bother, but your family has food, not to mention too much, at least you can eat it until the next time you thresh the millet. My family is different. I just want the millet to mature earlier than others'. Some are good." In the previous life, my parents used this method to speed up the ripening of rice.

The three listened and nodded.This makes sense.However, does this method really work?

Except for Jinxiu, the other three were beating their hearts.

Jinxiu was not in the mood to understand their thoughts, but only thought about the things hidden in her heart.

Suddenly, she raised her back, looked straight at Zhong Hong's bare neck exposed because she bent down and bowed her head, and asked faintly.

"Is the wheat in your family about to be harvested? When the time comes to harvest the wheat, my husband and I will help you too." By the way, try my Lian Gai.

Jin Xiu didn't say the last sentence, fearing that the news would leak out and someone would take the opportunity.

"Yes, the weather is good this year, and the wheat grows well. Maybe I can save some more for my own use. I will definitely ask you for help when the time comes. I'm afraid you don't have time by yourself." Speaking of harvesting wheat, Zhong Qing thought of his own family. The golden ears of wheat in the field could not help but bend their eyebrows with a smile.

Although the family produces wheat, the white flour made from that wheat is not affordable every day.The whole family's annual income depends on the wheat and rice, and they have to keep rations and pay taxes. They have to rely on it for all their daily expenses, so they can eat as much as they like.

But if the harvest is good, maybe they can save some for their own food.Not to mention anything else, it would be nice to have more steamed buns.

"We didn't do anything, so we ran out of time. When the time comes, I'll bring you something good to keep Uncle Zhong and Aunt Zhong happy." He reached out and took a handful of seedlings, bowed, and continued to plant them.
