Farmhouse Pastoral Notes

Chapter 11 Farming

Yangjia Village belongs to the southern region, and I don't know where Spring and Autumn is, but we do know that the main economic crop is rice Spring and Autumn.

Rice is divided into early rice and late rice. Early rice is planted in mid-to-late April and harvested in mid-to-early July, and late rice is planted in early August and harvested in late October.

About two days after buying the rice seeds, the members of the Yang family cleaned up the few acres of paddy fields in their family, and then the whole family was dispatched to prepare for farming.

The weather in April was already warm. Chunqiu was wearing short shirts and shorts, and a pair of straw sandals. He and Chunhua walked together. Yang, Li, Yuan, and other adults had already left before dawn. The younger ones don’t make any demands, so when Chunhua and Chunqiu go out, the normally busy streets will be deserted. I don't know that children are also helping in the field, so there is no one else on the street.

Chunqiu was walking on the road, looking at the seedlings of people who were struggling in the rice fields everywhere on both sides of the road, and occasionally two children ran past beside him like a gust of wind, Chunqiu looked at everything in front of him, and his mood became more and more intense. Get up briskly, pull the spring flowers beside you and sing the nursery rhymes bouncing all the way. The crisp and melodious nursery rhymes spread to the distance with the breeze, and the grass on both sides of the road is full of vitality.

By the time the two of them arrived at their home field, half of the large paddy field underground had already been planted, which shows the high efficiency of her family.

Seeing the girl who just ran over not far away, standing on the bank like a thinker, Yuan yelled, "Come down and be careful, there are stones in the paddy field, don't knock on them."

"I know" Chunqiu replied, looked at the height of the water in the field, nodded in satisfaction, then looked at Chunhua beside him, and eagerly pulled her into the water.

hiss!Chunqiu gasped, what he saw was different from what he felt, Chunqiu murmured in his heart, the water in April was really not suitable for swimming, it was so cold, Chunqiu complained in his heart.

"Second sister, the water is so cold." Chunqiu complained to Chunhua beside him in a low voice.

"Ah? It's okay." Chunhua was a little confused, looking at the frowning third sister beside her, she didn't feel cold.

Chunqiu: ...Well, she is too weak.

Feeling that he was still too weak, Chunqiu just sighed, didn't speak, just dragged Chunhua and the two towards the wooden basin with rice seedlings not far away.

The two each took out a handful of rice from the wooden pots, Chunqiu walked to a piece of unplanted ground, bent down and planted rice seedlings.

The water in the paddy field is not deep. The insteps of the spring and autumn just passed the water before. Chunqiu inserted them one by one very seriously. There are still some small snails and fish fry in the water, looking at the small fish that are swimming happily , the mood of Spring and Autumn is also particularly bright. There is no steel building everywhere in modern society, nor the feasting and feasting in modern society. Everything is so back to basics, which is great!
Before they knew it, the sun had risen to the center, and they also ushered in the hottest period of the day.

The people around may have gone home to eat, or sat in the shade around them and ate the steamed buns brought from home.Chunqiu rubbed his stomach that was growling with hunger, looked up and looked around, her mother, Yuan Shi, was talking to her father, grandma was explaining something to grandpa and uncle, uncle and aunt are also family members I don't know what to do together, Chunqiu feels a little bored, looks at the second brother who is still planting rice seedlings not far away, and then looks at Huzi who ran to the shore, thinks about the distance between the three, Chunqiu decisively He raised his foot and walked in the direction of the second brother.

"Second brother, I'm hungry." Chunqiu opened her big ignorant eyes, blinked and acted pitifully at Yang Chunming.

Yang Chunming put down the rice seedlings in his hands, looked at his younger sister who had just reached under his chest, and asked with some distress, "Does it matter? We are going to eat soon, you go to the side to rest." After Yang Chunming finished speaking, he secretly watched Glancing around, seeing that everyone was resting, he felt relieved.

"No need, I'm just hungry." Chunqiu shook his head.

"Well, let me go to find my mother, there should be something to eat at my mother's place." Yang Chunming lowered his head and thought for a while, then said.

"Okay, okay." Chunqiu nodded.

Seeing Chunqiu nodding, Yang Chunming stretched out his hand to hold Chunqiu's hand, and called Huzi who was opposite to him, and then walked towards Yuan's not far away.

As soon as Yuan's side finished talking with Yang Weibo, they saw their daughters and daughters coming over. Thinking about the time now, they probably were hungry.

"Are you three hungry?" Yuan said to the three little radish heads in front of her.

"Hungry, mother, I'm about to die of starvation," Huzi said quickly, pointing to his deflated stomach by the way.

Pfft, Chunqiu covered her lips and didn't make a sound, her twin brother is so cute.

Gu~, a stomach growl sounded, Yuan looked down at the girl who had covered her face with her hands not far away, and burst out laughing, her girl was also hungry.

Stomach growls one after another, Chunqiu looked at the ruddy and uncomfortable looking second brother and the hungry Huzi beside him, feeling that everyone is hungry.

Yuan Shi stopped laughing at them at this time, and quickly pointed to the basket placed on the ground not far away, which was covered with a blue cloth, and said, "Hurry up and eat there, go back after eating, There's only so much left, and we'll be done in a while."

"Mother, let's go eat together." Chunqiu reached out and grabbed Yuan's clothes, swaying and acting like a baby.

"No, no, no," Yuan scratched her nose dotingly, and said with a smile, "Mum, I'll eat after I finish this."

Chunqiu noticed the look of disapproval on her second brother's face after Yuan's finished speaking, she turned her eyes, and started her coquettish career again, "No, no!" The corners of Chunqiu's mouth seemed to be foamed with a layer of sweet and greasy honey Similarly, the milling Yuan family has no intention of working at all, and his whole body is crisp.

"Okay, okay, mother promises you, put it down first, mother will be fainted by you." Yuan Shi quickly agreed with a smile, the arc of the corner of his mouth never stopped.

"En..." After seeing the success of the task, Chunqiu turned his head and blinked at his second brother, meaning that I am amazing, well, after coming here for more than half a month, Chunqiu himself has already become a child.

Yang Chunming looked proud, his sister was the most powerful.

If the Yuan family quit, Yang Weibo would naturally go to eat, so the family of five went to eat in such a mighty way.

When they arrived at the shore, the Gu family had already eaten, and only Mrs. Yang, Li and Mrs. Yang were left in the rice field. Mrs. Yuan winked at Chunqiu. ran back into the water.

Chunqiu, who is always invincible, is invincible, so when Chunqiu came back with grandpa and grandma again, his little expression was the same as that of General Changsheng, not to mention too much.

Yuan Shi reached out and took out the freshly made yellow and white steamed buns in the morning and handed them to Chunqiu, and handed her the freshly pickled pickles in the bowl.

"Eat quickly, go back early after eating," Yuan Shi said.

"Yeah," Chunqiu nodded.

Not to mention, although the steamed buns are made of yellow noodles mixed with white flour, the taste and softness are really good. Chunqiu opened his mouth and took a big bite of the steamed buns, eating the sweet and sour pickles. It is pickled with wild vegetables dug from the mountains in two days. It tastes crisp and delicious, and Chunqiu likes to eat it.

With the simple meal, Chunqiu ate two big steamed buns in one go, and his stomach hurt so much that he waved his hand, stretched out his hand to touch his round belly, Chunqiu sighed, this ancient safe and pollution-free dish is delicious!
