Running with the ball in the lean years, the evil mother-in-law and the whole family regretted it

Chapter 170 Busy Farming Season

Bai Chuan: "Instead of asking the workers to stop what they are doing, why don't you let us go harvest it? One acre of wheat is not a big job, so what? We can live and eat here, but we can't work anymore." ? We don’t think of ourselves as outsiders, but you think of us as relatives first?”

Bai Taotao couldn't laugh or cry: "Cheng Chengcheng, leave it to you, so I can save the arrangements. But dad, you have to go back later to tell Uncle Tieshan that when the wheat is harvested, our family will The land used to build the yard will not be rented to him to avoid wasting food. "

After Bai Taotao reminded him, Bai Dashan slapped his thigh: "Yes, how could I forget such an important thing? Then I will go back now. Now hurry back and talk to him first, so as to save him from planting peanuts." Oh, it’s really a waste of food.”

Bai Zhou reminded with a smile: "Don't go back empty-handed. The gifts we bought on this trip to Linjiang are just for you to bring back."

Bai Dashan: "I know, I know. Hurry up and help Tao get the wheat back. While the weather is good, you can dry it out and feed Tao with new white bread buns to eat in two days."

With that said, Bai Dashan packed up, took the gifts he bought for everyone, and Wang Chao drove the ox cart back to Hetang Village.

The bullock cart driver doesn't want the villagers to say he is too ostentatious, the bullock cart driver is still more down-to-earth.

As soon as Bai Dashan left, Mrs. Bai Zhou took her son and daughter-in-law to the fields to harvest wheat.

The family members all went to the fields, and Bai Taotao went to the sandy area.

The beginning of April is not only the time for rice seedlings, but also the time for transplanting white peach, watermelon and pepper seedlings.

Now that the wasteland is almost completed, the watermelon seedlings and pepper seedlings that were cultivated before can also be transplanted. That afternoon, Baitaotao began to arrange for workers in the wasteland to help transplant these seedlings.

Bai Taotao naturally explained everything that needed to be done before transplanting to them. She only left after seeing that they all got started and there were no problems.

After returning from the sandy area, I stopped by the rice fields to look at the rice in the rice fields.

The rice is currently rising well and has taken root firmly. It’s almost time to buy some fry and put it in in the next two days.

Raising fish in rice fields not only provides fertilizer for the rice, but when the rice heads in the later stages, the rice flowers can also fatten the fish. The meat of the rice fish raised in this way is particularly delicious.

Just do it, and early the next morning, Bai Taotao walked towards the rice fields carrying a bucket of fish.

Zhao Ding, who was harvesting wheat in the field next to her, looked puzzled when she saw this: "Daughter-in-law Youyi, what are you doing? Why did you put the fish in the rice field? When the time comes, they will knock over the seedlings and the seedlings will be gone." Are you going to die? Will all your hard work be in vain?"

Bai Taotao explained with a smile: "Ms. Ding, the fish is so small. Now that the seedlings have taken root, they will not knock over the seedlings. I have read in a book before that it was said that this kind of small crucian carp should be raised in rice fields. The excrement of crucian carp can not only be used as fertilizer to fertilize the rice. When the rice flowers bloom in the later period, the crucian carp that grows up will have delicious meat and the fish will also grow plump. "

"I read something so magical in the book, so I thought about trying it to see if it is true. If this is true, the villagers can do this in the future. In the future, not only can we have fish to eat, but we can also sell the fish. Supplementing the household is not.”

After hearing what Bai Taotao said, thinking about Bai Taotao's ability, Zhao Ding didn't understand anything.

He immediately praised: "It turns out that it's because of this. You read a lot of books and know a lot. Unlike us, we can only follow you. But listening to what you said, if this thing can really be done, it is indeed a success." Not a bad idea.”

Zhao Sanniu smiled and said: "Mom, this is not only a good method, I would say it is a very, very, very good method. If Chen Sansao's method of raising fish is really feasible, then the rice will also grow well. We can still have a good harvest. Not only rice, but also fish can be caught after harvesting. We can continue to raise the small ones, eat the big ones ourselves, and sell them for money. It will be too easy when we want to eat fish. "

As he said that, Zhao Sanniu thought that he would be happy to have a meal of fish from time to time in the future.

It would be even more beautiful if you could secretly handle a few fish while adults are not paying attention, and then run to find a good spot on both sides of the river to grill the fish and eat them~~
Thinking about it, Zhao Sanniu couldn't help but drool. Upon seeing this, Zhao Ding said: "Sanniu, to be honest, have you thought about it? When the fish are raised in the rice fields at home, you can go out to hunt wildly, right?"

Zhao Sanniu wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth and quickly denied it: "Mom, look at what you said, it's nothing. This fish is raised to be sold for money, how can you steal it and go wild."

Zhao Ding held up the sickle in her hand and threatened: "It's best if our family really raises rice field fish in the future. If you dare to steal the fish, I won't be able to spare you."

After Bai Taotao put the small fry into the rice field in batches, she looked at Zhao Sanniu and said with a smile: "Sanniu, you have to help take care of the fish in Sister-in-law's house from now on. You can't let others steal it. If the fish are all gone by then, No, Sister-in-law’s experiment has failed. You don’t know if you can raise her by then, right?”

Zhao Sanniu nodded fiercely: "Yes, yes. Sister-in-law of the Chen family, don't worry, leave the job of watching the fish to me. I will help you watch all the fish, and there won't be one missing. If anyone dares to steal the fish, then He is going against the whole village, and when the time comes, all of us in the village will want him to look good. "

Bai Taotao smiled and said: "What a sensible and good boy. Third sister-in-law will feel more at ease with you watching over her. Okay, I've put down these fry. You guys go ahead and take a look at the sand." Look at the work over there."

After saying that, Bai Taotao walked towards the sandy ground with the bucket in hand.

I started planting watermelon seedlings and pepper seedlings yesterday, and I don’t know how many have been planted.

Judging from the weather, I'm afraid it's going to rain in the next few days.

"Hurry up and work, don't be lazy. It looks like it's going to rain in the next two days. Take the ripe wheat back home quickly, otherwise it won't be able to harvest even if it rains."

The experienced villagers in the fields also began to speed up the harvesting.

When harvesting wheat at this time, the wheat stems are harvested together with the stems. The harvested wheat will be bundled and picked home to be dried in the sun, and then threshed and stored.

Wheat stalks can be used to start fires, be used as mattresses, or be used to weave some items at home.

At this time, modern technology was not as developed, and many things were woven by ordinary people themselves.

To be honest, Bai Taotao really likes the craftsmanship of ordinary people at this time.

Although the cloth shoes with thousand layer soles are not waterproof, they are very comfortable to wear on the feet.

Although they are also available in modern times, with the advancement of the times, cloth shoes with thousand-layer soles have also begun to be industrialized.

Maybe some old people in the countryside will do it themselves layer by layer.

In fact, she felt that the cloth shoes with mille-feuille soles must be glued layer by layer by hand, and then sewn stitch by stitch with hemp rope. Only the cloth shoes made in this way are truly handmade mille-feuille soles.

Another example is backpack baskets, bamboo baskets, dustpans, some small baskets, etc., which are both environmentally friendly and practical.

If it is damaged, it can be burned as firewood, and if it is burned out, it can be used as fertilizer.

Make the best use of everything.
