The night is always very quiet.After the stove is turned on in winter, the sound of crackling wood can always be heard in the room.Now that it's spring, the stove stopped burning a few days ago, so now except for Su Gu'an and Su Yu talking sometimes, the surrounding area is as quiet as still water.

Su Yu's hand gestures were not too big, so Su Gu'an took a look at it, and then took the remaining wicker to weave a small basket for her. Seeing that there was a small and cute handle at the bottom of the small round basket, Su Guan Yu couldn't put it down.

"Okay," Su Gu'an saw that he was finally done, stood up and patted the ashes on his body, and said to himself: "I can't be clean as a worker. I got dirty. Let's go Dayu, go back to the house and go to sleep, it's a pity that you have been here with me until so late."

Su Yu smiled and stood up too, shivering in the cold night, "It's okay, I'll just wash it if you get dirty, anyway, I have plenty of time."

In the back room, Wang Sang and Su Bai had already gone to sleep, and that kid Su Bai even snored a little.Wang Sang's sleeping posture is not very good-looking, and it takes up more than half of Su Yu and Su Gu'an's place.In the past, when Su Fang was still there, the whole family would always be a little crowded sleeping on the kang, but at that time, no one felt that winter was cold.

Now it's spring, without Su Fang crowding around with Su Yu, Su Yu even feels that this spring is not as good as winter.

When lying on the kang, Su Yu was not too sleepy, so he just opened his eyes and looked at the ceiling.Wang Sang said that as soon as the busy season of farming in spring is over, the family will start preparing to build a new house, and will reserve separate rooms for several children.Su Yu wondered what his room would look like in the future, whether it would be as antique as the one he lived in Jin Mansion.

After thinking about how to decorate her own room, Su Yu began to think about how to help Su Fang decorate her room.That child is usually the most stable, and he must like rooms with black or white tones. Then he will go to the town to buy some calligraphy and paintings for Su Fang to hang in the room. If there is a chance, he will buy a guzheng and put it on the wall of the room. By the way, isn't the decoration in Su Fang's room the same as that of everyone's ladies?

After thinking about it, Su Yu fell into a dream and fell asleep until the next morning.

The second day is to grow rice seedlings according to the itinerary at home.Su Yu only knows that modern rice seedlings are raised, and they are usually grown in plastic greenhouses for the purpose of keeping warm and not affecting the photosynthesis of plants. The quality of the rice seedlings raised is also high. Hundreds of rice seedlings can be grown in a small area.

And planting rice does not directly put the seeds into the pool, wait until the rice seedlings are bred, and then transplant them into the pool filled with water.

The family chose to raise rice seedlings in the front garden, and the most central one was chosen, probably because it was more fertile.Su Yu also knew that many people here chose to grow rice seedlings in the dry fields outside, because many people were far away from their own rice fields, so they chose to grow rice seedlings on land closer to the rice fields. Raising seedlings can also save a lot of manpower and material resources.

However, most of them are chosen in their own gardens. After all, here is close to mountains and rivers, and there are many birds that like to harm food.

Su Yu is still very curious about the ancient seedling raising methods, because there is no such thing as plastic cloth here. Even if you find an airtight cloth to raise seedlings, it will affect the photosynthesis of plants, so how can we solve this problem.

Su Yu thought a lot in the first few days of raising seedlings, and asked someone to look for it for a long time, to see if there is anything that can replace plastic sheeting, but it is obvious that Su Yu's thinking is too beautiful, and there is no one at all. , so you can’t rely on any external things.

However, Su Yu knows a lot of seedling raising skills. As long as the middle is carried out well, the rice seedlings can grow well even without the help of plastic sheets.It's just that raising seedlings in this way will definitely make the rice seedlings grow very slowly, but it doesn't matter, anyway, we have plenty of time.

For every family in the village, raising rice seedlings is a big project, so everyone helps each other.It just so happened that Su Gu'an was the first one in this group to raise seedlings, so everyone gathered at Su Gu'an's house early in the morning.

The dew in the morning is a bit heavy. Because of the large temperature difference between morning and evening, there will be a stream of white water droplets condensing from the airflow when you exhale.Su Guan's family got up early.After preparing the tools needed for raising seedlings, we are waiting for so many people to come.

The job Su Yu was assigned was very simple, helping to carry water.The Su family's well is a vertical well, which was drilled by his own family in the early years, and Su Yu can still see the rippling water when he looks from the top of the well.Su Gu'an also replaced the large bucket used to carry water with a small bucket, fearing that Su Yu's small hands would not be able to carry such a large bucket of water.

After Su Yu arrived at the garden, he first greeted the elders around him, and then stood by the well mouth to wait for orders.

Su Gu'an got up earlier in the morning than his family because he had to feed the cows and chickens, so he was still wearing a winter padded jacket.This time the temperature rose, and it became a little hot. He took off his cotton-padded jacket and put it on his hands and walked to Su Yu's side: "Dayu, you don't need to carry the first few buckets of water. I can do it later. If you feel tired, take a rest, anyway, there are so many of us, and you are not bad, so don't tire yourself out."

Su Yu saw that Su Guan was so considerate of herself, so she couldn't be lazy. She couldn't help much at first. She studied tea in college, but she traveled to the north in the end. Would it not make people depressed? All gone.

"Father, don't worry, I can do it. Although I can't learn how to bandage, I can do rough work like carrying water!"

Seeing Su Yu's swearing promise, Su Gu'an also smiled: "Then I'll go over there to help first, you can watch the water here, after a while, you can just pour it over here when you bring it up In the bucket, your uncle will carry it directly."

Su Yu nodded and watched Su Guan run to Wang Sang's side.The two seemed to be discussing something and said something, because the distance was too far and they couldn't hear clearly.

Su Yu looked at the well in front of him, and subconsciously rolled up his sleeves again. Later, thinking that women can't do this kind of action at will, he put it down again, and then drew water. Come.

In the past, the Su family didn't have any places that needed water too much. For example, Wang Sang was afraid of the danger of putting too much water in the water tank, so he always didn't carry so much water into the house.The only place with a little more water is the two cows. In winter, because the river freezes, they can't be taken to the river, so they can only feed them with water at their own home.

If Su Gu'an was busy, Su Yu would have done these jobs too, so now it's even more difficult for her!Su Yu picked up the first bucket of water aggressively and poured it into the big bucket next to him.

The elders over there have also started to work. First of all, they pour water on the prepared seedbed, and then sprinkle the seeds evenly on the ground after the soil is moist.Then there is the most laborious step, to pat all the seeds into the soil.

The tools used to pat the seeds at home are brooms. Use the back of the broom to pat the seeds a few more times, and the seeds can be patted into the soil.The brooms in Su Yu’s house were all made by Su Gu’an himself with the broomcorns that he harvested last autumn. After removing the few brooms for raising rice seedlings, he kept two useless brooms, which he said would be kept in the house. Replace the broom with a new one when it is worn out.

After everyone stood apart, they patted the seeds one by one with a broom, because there would be fine imprints of broom tassels on the ground due to excessive force.This kind of work is tiring on both the waist and the arms, so you have to change hands again after a while, and some even have to rest for a while before continuing to do it.

When Su Yu was not carrying water, she stood aside and watched everyone work in full swing.Because there are many seedbeds, we are only working on the first one now.Su Yu stood there looking at another seedbed that had not yet started construction.

In modern times, breeding is often required to sprinkle chemical fertilizers, in order to improve the quality of rice seedlings.However, in ancient times, there was no chemical fertilizer to use. Su Yu suggested to Su Gu'an to use cow dung as fertilizer under the seedbed a few days ago.

Few families in Qingshui Village can afford to raise cattle for so many years, so let alone use cow dung as fertilizer.When Su Gu'an heard that Su Yu was going to do this, he was still very surprised, but in the end he couldn't resist Su Yu's persuasion.

Su Gu'an didn't know how to use cow dung as fertilizer, so Su Yu and Su Gu'an made the seedbed together.Thanks to her, a modern and new human being, she came here to "fertilize" the seedbed, and she herself felt that it was okay to be dramatic.

In fact, there is not much cow dung in the house, and Su Yu saves it again and again, in order to save some of it for the dry land after a period of time.

By the way, she dug a pond with the grass stalks from her own home, some messy straw, and human excrement, and put them in together, calling it: the future farmyard manure.These are all good things that can increase income, but they must be cherished.

The sun gradually rose, and the water mist on the sun-dried land disappeared.People who work will generate more heat, and even Su Yu feels that it is too hot to carry a few buckets of water, not to mention the elders who have been working hard over there.

So many people have now taken off their coats, wiped the sweat from their foreheads and continued to work.Sometimes he stopped and yelled at Su Yu: "Da Yu! Go and bring your water ladle and scoop me some cool water!"

At this moment, Su Yu would stop going on errands, and after standing upright, she smiled and answered crisply: "Okay! I'm going now!"
