Chapter 189 The Year of the Monkey and the Horse Moon
In late April, farmers in the village planted seedlings one after another.These seedlings were all grown together in one field before, which is called seedling cultivation.When the seedlings grow deeper and the weather warms up, everyone will start to plant seedlings in the fields.

Planting seedlings needs to be planted in a hurry. If these days are missed, the rice will not be mature before the frost, and the production of rice will be relatively reduced by then.Planting rice seedlings is not a trivial matter for farmers. Generally, the whole family of a farm family has to go out to plant rice seedlings.

Roll up the trouser legs to the knees and tie them firmly. As soon as the shoes and socks are taken off, they go directly to the field.The little boy likes this job, the work of planting rice seedlings is not tiring, and if he is lucky, he can catch ricefield eels in the crevices of the rocks in the field.

"Hey, be careful, your ass is almost sitting in the field!" Seeing that his troublesome son was only thinking about catching eels, and he didn't plant seedlings, the pillars of the family got a little angry.

It was only then that the naughty little boy came to his senses and continued to plant seedlings behind his father's ass.

This is one of the busiest seasons of the year in Luoshui Village, and everyone is so busy that they are dizzy.Although the work of transplanting rice seedlings does not require much physical work, it is really a lot of effort to plant rice seedlings in the fields at home in just a few days.

Everyone didn't have much time to rest except for eating and so on. After a day, they were so tired that they fainted.It is unbearable to continue to toss like this for several days.It's just that when the field is full of golden colors in autumn, everyone is full of energy again.In the past few days when farmers are planting rice seedlings, the food at home is better than usual. In this way, the men will have the strength to work, right?
Those peasant women will always try their best to make delicious food, so as to relieve the fatigue caused by planting seedlings to the head of the family.Deliciousness is naturally indispensable. At this moment, the farmers are really suffering and happy.

Qiu Lin looked down from his yard, and in the early morning, the fields were already bustling with activity.When planting seedlings, the whole family is basically out. In the early morning, there are quite a lot of people planting seedlings in the field.A busy job is usually not finished until the sun goes down, so I can rest when I go home.

Qiulin couldn't help thinking sullenly, fortunately, his family didn't need to grow seedlings, otherwise they would be exhausted to death.Wouldn't it be nice to scatter some lotus seeds in the fields like her, and wait for the lotus roots to come out in winter?
However, in the eyes of these farmers, planting rice, wheat, corn, yams, sweet potatoes and so on are all passed down from generation to generation.They are also used to walking all the way to the end along the path of their ancestors.In their eyes, they felt that Qiulin's family was not doing their job properly.Well, the peasants are still mainly engaged in farming, and other methods seem to them to be somewhat crooked.Seeing the crops in the fields grow vigorously day by day, the farmers like them feel an indescribable sense of relief.

So looking at Qiulin's family planting lotus roots and herbs in the field, there are not many farmers in the village who grow lotus roots and herbs.Everyone is still honestly planting crops in the fields.

Seeing them planting seedlings, Qiu Lin also wanted to find something for himself to do.I got up early in the morning and fed the chickens and ducks at home, and drove the fluffy ducklings to the river, letting them swim around in the water by themselves.

The yard was also cleaned, and it looked very cute watching the hen leading a group of chicks chattering in the yard, lowering their heads from time to time to peck at the little things on the ground.

I still remember that when my aunt first brought these chicks back, they were all in small groups. After this month, the chicks have obviously grown up, and finally they no longer look so pitiful.After a few more months, these chicks will grow bigger, and by then, she will have eggs to pick up.Thinking of this, Qiulin laughed cheerfully.

This season is the middle of April, and the pipa in the forest is ready. Qiulin is thinking about whether to go into the forest to see if it is ripe.

Qiulin thought that there was nothing wrong with him anyway, so he really found a basket from the house and held it in his hand.The eldest sister and mother went to the slope to mix manure and water for the crops.There are only her and her father in the family.If you wait for the eldest sister and the others to come back, I'm afraid you will have to wait for a while.And for things like spreading dung water, it usually takes a few times to run back and forth to completely water the two fields.Qiu Lin simply picked up the basket and rushed out of the yard to find Xia Yan. "Father, I'm going to ask Brother Xia Yan to pick pipas in the woods. When Mother and Eldest Sister come back, tell them!"

When Xu Nanshan raised his head, where was the figure of his little daughter Qiulin in the yard!Xu Nanshan was weaving the scepter very skillfully while thinking, this girl just can't sit still, if you tell her to sit down for a long time, she won't do it!This temperament is somewhat similar to her elder sister.He really liked these two girls to the bottom of his heart.

His eyes looked around the yard with a sense of scrutiny. In front of the yard were two plum trees. Now it is the time to bear fruit, but they are still small, and it will take a while before they can be eaten.The original messy yard was neatly tidied up, and the east corner was opened up as a vegetable garden, in which were growing red tomatoes and fat green peppers.Along the fence surrounding the yard, some peppers, cucumbers and loofahs were also planted, and the corners of the walls were not spared.Now is the season of flowering and fruiting. Those loofah cucumbers are growing well, and they are getting bigger every day. Now they are basically ready to eat!

The most noisy thing in the yard is the group of chattering hens and chicks, walking and stopping in the yard happily, as if they never know how tired they are.

After scanning for a week, Xu Nanshan had a satisfied and happy smile on his face.The days at home are getting better and better, and the usual hard days are probably over, and their family will get better and better in the future.

It is said that Qiu Lin left his own yard, and ran straight to the entrance of the village. When he reached the bamboo forest, he took a few breaths, and rushed directly to Xia Yan's yard.

Xia Yan was drying herbs in the yard at the moment, when he heard something behind him, he turned his head to look, unexpectedly it was the little girl Qiu Lin.Seeing that she was panting and sweating from running, Xia Yan smiled helplessly. This girl has really adapted to her age, and she treats herself like a child even more! "Sister Qiulin, why are you here? What's the matter?"

Hey, Qiulin is still so young. Although she is much taller than before, she is still skinny. It seems that she needs to make up her body more.Qiulin is only eight years old now, and he doesn't know that he will be able to go to the door to propose marriage until the year of the monkey?Although he had to wait slowly, Xia Yan also enjoyed the process very much. Watching her grow up slowly was also a pleasure.Thinking about it this way, more than half of the depression in my heart dissipated.
