Don't panic, the family boss is busy farming

Chapter 338 Planting Rice
The story is about a farm father and daughter who accidentally rescued an injured Xu Jiajun.

The father and daughter have completely different views on Xu Jiajun. The father thinks Xu Jiajun is a rebel army, a bad guy, and cannot be saved.

The daughter corrected her father's views and told her father that Xu's army was the people's own army and they were fighting for the interests of the people.

Moreover, the Xu family army did not take or collect taxes indiscriminately, and even helped the common people cultivate the land.

In the end, the father was moved by his daughter and decided to save Xu Datou, and observed his behavior to make the final judgment.

As a result, his father discovered that Xu Datou was originally a child of a peasant family like himself. He used to be a tenant, and finally joined the Xu family army.

From then on, the old father also had a great change in Xu Jiajun.
Xu Yue closed the script with satisfaction, and told Wen Qing: "The spring plowing is about to begin, and you will join the Xu family army who helps the farmers to plant the land, and bring some entertainment to the busy farmers. Boost morale."

Wen Qing was startled, and then realized that he and others had successfully obtained Xu Jiajun's iron job.

He suppressed the ecstasy, got up and imitated the military salute that the Xu family soldiers in the city gave when they met Wang Pingping, saluted, and replied: "I will definitely work hard to complete the task!"

Xu Yue got up to accept his military salute, returned the salute, and then patted Wen Qing on the shoulder:

"Comrade Wen Qing, work hard, Xu Jiajun will not treat you badly."

"Yeah!" Wen Qing nodded vigorously, suddenly feeling full of energy.

Gongsun Wubao is also called Gongsun Village now.

After half a month of preparatory work such as raising seedlings in advance and opening paddy fields, the whole village has now started the vigorous work of transplanting rice seedlings.

The weather has warmed up in mid-March, and those who are in better health can still sweat profusely when planting seedlings in the field with their shirts off.

Before the arrival of Xu Jiajun, no one had grown rice in the north of Youzhou, but a small number of people along the Yellow River in Jizhou had planted it, but the harvest was not very good, only the big households had spare fields to grow some rice for a change of taste.

The villagers in Yuyang County have no experience in rice planting at all. Fortunately, Xu Jiajun not only provided rice seeds, but also sent people to the farm to guide rice planting.

Rice fields need water, and there is a river in Gongsun Village, so it is very convenient to store water.

Introduce water into the dry fields, soak for a few days, and then start plowing the fields, and spread all the fertilizer made from the rotten roots and vegetables left over from previous years evenly.

After the paddy fields are plowed, another layer of manure is poured to increase the nutrition of the land. Finally, when the spring rains fall, the water in the paddy fields can be drained, leaving only a layer of field mud like a mudflat.

Such a field can be planted with seedlings raised in advance.

There are also various methods of transplanting rice seedlings. Those who can use skillful hands use the method of throwing rice seedlings. Those who can’t use force use a long wooden board on the field, and stand on the wooden board to fill the field one by one.

Generally speaking, the ones that are inserted by hand are more neat, while the ones that are thrown are more messy, but the difference is not bad, and the final effect is good.

The seedlings are all inserted, and this is not the end. When the seedlings grow to the height of the calf, they will be inserted again.

How did the villagers know to grow food like this before?It can be regarded as a long experience!
Seeing that the agricultural students sent by Xu Jiajun spoke clearly about farming, the villagers also spontaneously began to learn from them the scientific planting methods of other farmers.

The agricultural students also patiently answered their questions time and time again to the villagers who came to ask for advice. In the fields, students with plain clothes and yellow feet can be seen everywhere.

They are not afraid of hardship or tiredness, and they have no airs at all. Not only did they answer questions, but they also went to the fields to guide the villagers to plant other crops, which made the villagers feel warm in their hearts.

The rain in March is always endless. One moment the sun was shining brightly, and the next second, light rain fell.

The agricultural students who were still busy in the field saw that the rain was getting heavier and heavier, fearing that the villagers would get wet and catch a cold, so they hurriedly shouted:

"Go back, go back! Wait until the rain stops before continuing, it won't be good if you catch a cold!"

The villagers looked at the small piece of seedlings left in the field and asked worriedly, "Guys, will the heavy rain damage the seedlings?"

"No, no!" The agricultural students waved their hands, urging everyone to go back and hide from the rain.

"This heavy rain comes and goes quickly, so there will be nothing wrong with working hard for a while!"

Hearing these words, knowing that nothing would happen, the villagers were willing to leave their work in the field and run home.

As soon as everyone returned to the village, heavy rain began to fall, but after a while, the dark clouds cleared, the sun came out, and the sky cleared up again.

The villagers were so angry that they slapped their legs straight. Some aunts were angry and pointed at the top of their heads and yelled at God for making fun of people. Everyone couldn't laugh or cry.

Just when the villagers were about to go back to continue planting rice seedlings, the housekeeper Qiu from the second-bedroom master's house ran over excitedly from the entrance of the village.

"Good news! Good news!" he shouted excitedly while running.

Everyone asked suspiciously: "Butler Qiu, what good news is there? I'm so excited~"

Steward Qiu stopped in front of everyone, panting and laughing: "Great news, the theater troupe is coming to our place to sing a big show, and they are already on their way, so they will sing for us tonight!"

As he said that, seeing that everyone was still in a daze, he urged: "I think the big guy's seedlings are almost finished planting, so hurry up and finish it in the middle of the afternoon. In the evening, let's go to the open space in front of the old master's house to watch a play!"

It was only now that the villagers came to their senses, and their eyes shone with anticipation, which was astonishingly bright.

A villager who has worked in other villages said happily: "I watched it from a distance when I was building roads in the next village before, and I only heard half of the story, but it made me anxious to death, and now I can finally hear the whole story! "

In this era when there are no entertainment activities, the big guys usually go home and sleep after finishing their work. At most, they are young and energetic to engage in human-making activities.

Therefore, some time ago, I heard the villagers who went out to work say that after Xu Jiajun organized a drama troupe to perform in the countryside, the villagers in Gongsun Village were all looking forward to it.

Before, I was not sure whether the drama troupe would come to my village, and I didn't dare to think too much, for fear that my expectations would turn into disappointment.

Now that they heard Guanshi Qiu's words and got the exact news, they were all so excited that they seemed to be pumped with blood.

After finishing the work in the field, I had a quick bite of food in the evening, and then rushed to the open space with my futon stool.

Everyone was scrambling to be the first, for fear that they would lose a good seat if they arrived late.

Mrs. Liu asked her servant girl to take the number of places a long time ago, and when she saw the two mothers-in-law Yan and Mrs. Xu approaching from a distance, she hurriedly raised her hand to say hello:

"Mom, this and this!"

The two wives looked up at the same time, and they were forced to wear plain Yan Shi with a cold face, because the daughter-in-law in her name smiled sweetly at Xu Shi beside her.

Now that Feng Shui is taking turns, any things that cannot be adopted or not are all useless with the rise of Xu Jiajun.
