A good time for farming through the ages

Chapter 53 [053] Fish Pole and Shrimp Pole

Zhuo Lin's sensibility makes A-Niang and Auntie deeply moved every time, and it is precisely because of her help that the two of them can do more work in the field.

The reason why the two of them are not kept at home is because there are too many unsafe factors in the home, so I would rather bring the hot spots to the ground.

Usually, the time to go to work in the fields is from [-] to [-] o'clock. My brothers cook at home and eat dinner by themselves before going to school. At that time, she and Zhuo Jian were still sleeping. Auntie went home to eat, and then went to work in the field until about eleven o'clock, and then had to go home for lunch.

In fact, their breakfast is very simple, either steamed potatoes, sweet potatoes, or boiled vegetable porridge. Only vegetables and pancakes are available for lunch. As for pancakes, they are still potato pancakes or sweet potato pancakes, and the other grains have not come down yet. I couldn't afford it, and I had already eaten up the bean dregs, so I didn't ask my uncle to make it again this time, because the summer harvest is coming soon, and in this season, there are plenty of vegetables at home, which is enough to eat.

After eating at noon, take a nap at noon. When I wake up, it will be almost three o'clock in the afternoon. I will wash up a little and rest for a while. At four o'clock, I have to take the two of them to work in the field. This time I will work directly until night At seven or eight o'clock, I didn't go home until dark.

Farmers are such hard workers. The so-called face to the loess and back to the sky is the truest portrayal.

Then you must ask, is there so much work in the field?
Indeed, their family's six acres of land plus uncle's six acres of land, that is twelve acres of land, basically all the work on the land is handed over to the wife and mother, so they didn't go to school before, and during the usual holidays, the children If they can help, or Zhuo Dajun can contribute when he is not working, the only ones who are usually guarding are the two sisters-in-law.

Moreover, these lands are not a whole piece of land, they are distributed in various places, some are big and some are small.

Before the turn of the millennium, most farmers were still used to harvesting wheat and rice, because the money for watering, fertilizing and pesticides in the field is already a big expense every year. For small expenses, the price of food is not high in the first place. If you include all kinds of expenses, you will basically not make much money.

Father only has less than ten days to stay at home now, but he is not idle for these ten days, and he has to help someone in the same village make furniture or something.

In his own words, if he can't make money now, it doesn't mean that he is losing money in business. Maybe someday these favors will be used. Isn't it the same for people in the village?
And when Dad is at home, he will take care of her and her younger brother, so he will sit quietly on the porch and watch him do carpentry.

Zhuo Lin doesn't know carpentry, so she just asks, if she doesn't ask twice, she will give Zhuo Dajun some good suggestions, and her suggestions come from her knowledge and knowledge in her previous life, because she travels more and sees more , so relatively speaking, I know a lot. The houses in each place have their own characteristics, and so does the furniture.

She even asked Zhuo Dajun why he didn't weave some bamboo baskets to catch some fish and shrimp by the river, Zhuo Dajun shook his head and smiled.

"Where is it so easy to catch? Someone tried it, but it didn't work, and they all ran away."

That's because the way you make things is wrong, Zhuo Lin squatted down on the ground and drew a shrimp basket and a fish basket, and explained the principle in a plausible manner.

Zhuo Dajun didn't listen very carefully at first, but as he listened, he figured out something was wrong, and rarely looked at his daughter seriously.

"These..., what do you think?"
