doting on the idle wife

Chapter 113 Spring Plowing (3)
After all the trees were planted, the rainy season passed, and large-scale planting began in the north.Mechanization was just emerging at this time, and the farmers in the small valleys didn't quite believe it. Every household used iron plow poles pulled by animals to cultivate the land.There are some seeds, some fertilizers, and those who walk behind the dung. Most of the small populations work in partnership.

"Xiao Ning, when will our family plant the land?" Seeing that people are busy planting the land, and her family has been busy all spring, but it is time to be idle, Changsun Shuya is a little anxious.When will thousands of acres of land be planted, why not hurry up?

"Mom, don't worry, I know it in my heart, it won't be too late." As she said, Chang Sun Ning walked out with a small basket filled with all kinds of rapeseed.The land can be planted two days later, the vegetables have to be planted first, and the workers have to eat later.Before the broken cave dwelling in her house, there were original vegetable fields on the left and right sides. Because no poultry was raised, there was no wooden fence.About three acres, this land is not needed for the time being, Chang Sun Ning plans to continue planting vegetables in line with the principle of not wasting, and it just happened that it rained last night. "Mom, hurry up, Uncle Qin will finish all the work in a while."

"Here we come." Changsun Shuya responded, and followed out of the cave with half a bag of bottom fertilizer.

Since Qin Wu came here, he has been diligent and conscientious like an old scalper, taking care of everything that grandson Ning ordered properly, and also helping with a lot of work.She worked as hard as she did for her own family, which made Chang Sun Ning a little embarrassed to tell him to do things, but he always rushed to help.

The land for growing vegetables needs to be loosened and then re-formed into ridges. Although the land is three acres, there is a lot of work to be done.Qin Wu had already turned up the soil with a plow machine, and used a shovel to turn over the places that were run over by the wheels to ensure the looseness of the soil.Because it has rained and the humidity is moderate, there is no need to water first when planting, which saves a lot of trouble.

"Brother Wu, take a break. You haven't been able to catch your breath since you've been busy this morning." Changsun Shuya said as she put the base fertilizer on the ground.

"It's okay, I'm not tired. I can do more work, and it's all done by machines." Qin Wu thrust the shovel into the noisy vegetable field, walked out with a smile, and carried the fat bag to the middle of the field, and used it for a while convenient.

"How can you not be tired? You are the one who operates the machine. Wipe off your sweat first. There is tea for you in the room. Go in and drink some water. Take a rest." Changsun Shuya said, taking out a small embroidered The floral handkerchief greeted Qin Wu's face.

"I'll do it myself, I'll do it myself." Qin Wu hurriedly took the handkerchief, peeked at the grandson Ning who was studying the rapeseed with her head down, and was relieved to see that she didn't pay attention.Eldest Sun Shuya didn't argue, she smiled and asked him to drag the handkerchief away.Only after seeing Qin Wu's expression did he realize that his daughter was still there, his face immediately turned red, and he turned his head aside. "Then since you've brewed the water, I'll go drink it and come out right away. I'll close the ridge later, so don't argue, and tell Xiao Ning how to grow vegetables while you're free, so it's quicker."

Chang Sun Ning's senses are so keen, she knows the subtle expressions of the two of them without looking at them, some signs have been noticed long ago, but she doesn't want to get involved, it's better to handle their affairs by herself.

"Mom, Uncle Qin is right, tell me the essentials of growing vegetables." Qin Wu went to drink water to relieve the embarrassment. If the eldest Sun Ning didn't say anything, the mother and daughter would be embarrassed instead.The eldest grandson Ning did a lot of farm work in the past, but now her memory is very vague, so she still has to take tutoring.

"How come your child's forgetfulness has become so big." I have planted it before and I don't know how to plant it, and it seems to be getting worse recently, "This is cabbage seed, let's put it together later..." Eldest Sun Shuya patiently Explain to grandson Ning how to grow various vegetables.

After less than 10 minutes, Qin Wu came back after drinking a cup of hot tea, picked up the pickaxe and started to join the ridge.Sun Shuya dug out small holes on the ridge, put in the base fertilizer and soil manure, then sprinkled cabbage seeds one by one, covered with a layer of soil, stepped on it lightly with her feet, and a pile of cabbage was planted. up.The eldest Sun Ning followed suit and quickly got started. The three of them worked together and planted all the cabbage in less than an hour.

Spinach needs a lot of trouble. After closing the ridge, draw a shallow ditch on the ridge platform, sprinkle the base fertilizer, soil manure, and seeds, and cover the soil uniformly.Bean seeds and cucumber seeds have been soaked in water, and white buds have grown, which are planted in piles like cabbage, but special attention should be paid when stepping on them, so as not to break the buds.Changsun Shuya soaked two kinds of carob seeds, one is fresh in May, which can be eaten after the Dragon Boat Festival, and the other is long bean, that is, thread beans, which taste good whether fried or cold.

After planting these, it was already noon. The three of them took a short break after lunch, and then began to work in the vegetable field again. They covered all the vegetables planted in the morning with plastic, like a simple small greenhouse, and they would grow quickly.It was dark after finishing, and the remaining vegetable field can only be saved until tomorrow. Eggplants, peppers, tomatoes, etc. have to be planted directly, and they have to go to Changsun Qiu's house to pull them out, and the seedlings are all raised there.

The next day, Qin Wu pulled out all the seedlings early in the morning, and Changsunqiu and his wife also came to help. The five of them worked hard for a whole day before they finished all the plants that should be planted and covered them with plastic.

A few days later, other people's family had almost finished planting corn and sorghum, and Changsun Ning's family began to cultivate the land.When everyone saw what she was planting, they understood why she was not in a hurry, because she planted almost all beans, soybeans, mung beans, red beans, black beans, and only peanuts, millet, millet, etc. on the side of the mountain. The sunflowers are about 100 mu each.

Some people were puzzled, including Changsun Shuya, who asked Changsun Ning why they planted these miscellaneous grains, and only planted the small area on the right, while the other large area was drying.Regarding this, Changsun Ning just smiled and said nothing. Of course she has plans, what's the point of saying it, and they will know soon.

As the temperature rises day by day, the sown seeds quickly germinate and break through the ground, growing fast like bamboo shoots after rain, and it is time to hoe the ground in a blink of an eye.This is also one of the busiest and tiring seasons in the countryside. If the hoeing is slow, after the last hoeing is over, the grass that was hoeed earlier will grow again, and it will take a second time to work.

Changsun Ning's family has planted nearly a thousand acres of food crops, not to mention in Yong'an Village, in Yangle County, I am afraid that the number is astronomical in the entire province.Those who have a feud with the grandson Ning, such as Aunt Qiao's family, or those who have become jealous of local tyrants instantly after seeing her contracting so many lands, are secretly waiting to watch the excitement at this time.I thought to myself, let's see how she can manage to get here in such a small place, and everyone is busy, she can't hire people even if she has money, and when it grows into a wasteland, she can't find a way to cry, she looks like a fart.

However, these little people are doomed to be disappointed.Changsun Ning has always been considerate in her work. If she dares to contract three thousand mu of land in one go and flex her muscles on it, she is sure enough to manage it well.She is determined to be a wealthy idler. If she relies on her own money to farm the land, she will be idle. She can't finish the work even if she vomits blood on a thousand acres of land, so scientific farming is what the family needs.
