480 Qingming(1/2)
On the day of Tomb Sweeping Day, it was gloomy in Sijiu City, but not a single rain star fell.
The steel rolling mill had a day off, and it was Friday again, which coincided with Saturday. Many people in the yard went back to the countryside to worship their ancestors and visit their graves.
Jia Zhang stayed in the courtyard and did not return to the village.
I thought Qin Huairu would take Banggian back and take the opportunity to eat something good.
Unexpectedly, Qin Huairu never returned to the village, not even Banggen.
At first, she asked Qin Huairu to lead Banggeng to send some paper money to Jia Dongxu.
Qin Huairu said that he was too heavy to walk a long way, so he could just burn two pieces of paper outside the hospital.
Mrs. Jia Zhang was upset after hearing this, but she didn't want to go back.
I can only feel wronged by Jia Dongxu. Anyway, I just came down and I brought a lot of money, so I won’t miss it this time.
But this last chance was gone, and Jia Zhang couldn't bear it anymore.
In the afternoon, Shazhu returned home with two taels of pork, and had another braised pork meal as usual.
When it was delivered to the backyard, the smell of meat spread into the house, making Ms. Jia Zhang, who hadn't seen meat for more than half a month, salivate wildly.
"Huairu, Shazhu is making braised pork again!"
"I give meat to an old immortal every day. She is an old man, but I am not. I have no filial piety at all. It's not a thing!"
Jia Zhang couldn't help complaining, lowered her head and walked to Qin Huairu.
This is the first time she mentioned Silly Pillar.
Although he was cursing, his tone of voice softened.
Qin Huairu, who was lighting the fire, just thought less about it, and the pride flashed across her face.
Qin Huairu knew that she won the battle.
But she had no intention of ending it like this.
"Eat it!"
"I earn almost 40 yuan a month. If I'm single and don't have something to eat, what will I do with it?"
Qin Huairu opened the lid of the pot, revealing the mushy soup inside.
Mrs. Jia Zhang stretched out her head and took a look, and her face immediately fell.
"Huairu, eat this again!"
Qin Huairu ignored her. Since she had already done it, she couldn't give up halfway.
"Yes, this is all we have left at home."
"That's all, I borrowed it from my uncle."
Mrs. Jia Zhang lowered her head, "Borrow? He has so many good things, so I'll give him some stick noodles."
"Seed-picking, he deserves to be extinct."
Muttering quietly, Qin Huairu ignored her.
Anyway, she was just addicted to talking. After a while, she might meet the uncle and find out how to curry favor with him.
"Huairu, are you going to visit Shazhu's house?"
"Don't go!"
As soon as Jia Zhang finished speaking, Qin Huairu immediately replied with a decisive voice, "Mom, you are also a widow. Don't you know that there are many right and wrongs in front of widows?"
"What does it mean for a little widow like me to go to an unmarried man's house at night?"
"Don't go!"
Jia Zhang's head dropped even lower after hearing this.
"Banggan, it's time to eat!"
Qin Huairu glanced at Jia Zhang with a smile on her face.
"Old lady, you can't bear it anymore."
I was thinking that I would go to the old man’s house tonight, tell Shazhu the good news, and ask him to cook braised pork a few more times.
Yangjiazhuang.
Yang Xiaotao sent Ran Qiuye to school and followed Yang Dazhuang to work in the fields.
It's not that the village lacks his labor force, it's mainly that Yang Xiaotao wants to understand the life of farmers in this era.
In the past half month, Yang Xiaotao has returned to Sijiucheng once.
After working a half-day shift at the steel rolling mill, he returned to Yangjiazhuang with the drawings Liu Huaimin collected.
During the following period, I worked and studied behind Yang Dazhuang and the others.
The main target of tractors is farmers, so you need to understand the demands of farmers, understand the work in the fields, and understand how to use tractors to complete these tasks.
It’s not just simple transportation.
In that case, it might as well be made into a truck.
It's clear and clear, but it doesn't rain.
Grain Rain comes after the Qingming Festival. According to the plan, farming has begun on the farm. After a lot of trouble, the land near the river was finally planted.
The first thing to be sown is the hybrid area, followed by the female parent, and then the male parent.
In this way, not only is it effectively isolated geographically, but it is also differentiated in terms of time, which can avoid cross-contamination to the greatest extent.
Even if there are pressurized water wells further away, you can also fetch water and pour it on the ground, and then plant it after the Qingming Festival.
Now the hybrid area has been planted according to the plan, and the front of each ridge has been marked.
When harvesting, it will be managed centrally according to requirements.
After the hybrid area has been planted, planting has also begun on the southern and northern slopes.
As long as it's done in these two days, the planting will be considered complete.
Arriving at the end of the field, Yang Xiaotao greeted Gao Yufeng.
The two looked at each other and smiled.
For more than half a month, a director of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences and an engineer of a steel rolling mill have been working in the fields and become old farmers.
The bright peasant appearance in the oil painting is simply an imaginary scene, and the real appearance is what Yang Xiaotao looks like now.
Wearing hole-in-the-wall cloth shoes, rolled up trouser legs with stones inside, and the exposed arms and sleeves are tanned two different colors.
His hair was covered in dust and turned from black to gray, and his whole body exuded a rustic atmosphere.
In front of Yang Xiaotao is a piece of farmland that has not yet been renovated. Gray dust can still be seen on it, which is in sharp contrast to the brown soil that has just been turned over.
Yang Xiaotao held it in his hand and stood in a row with several strong young men in the village. Then, while joking and joking, he picked up the hoe and started working.
As for the oxen and donkeys in the village, they are now fully armed and pulling plows to plow the land on the other side. Compared to these people, it is much faster.
Taking advantage of the break, Yang Xiaotao also took a look. Yang Shitou was pulling the ox in front, and Yang Dazhuang was holding the plow behind.
The depth of plowing depends entirely on the skill of the people behind you. If you press harder, the plow will plow deeper, and the oxen will have to work harder. If the force is less, the plow will penetrate the soil shallowly, and the oxen will pull faster.
You have to control the depth of the fire. This kind of work is not only a physical job, but also a technical job.
At least let Yang Xiaotao do this job, it didn't go so smoothly.
Watching Yang Dazhuang holding the plow and plowing the land quickly, his eyes focused on the wooden plow.
An iron plow came to mind.
It was the iron plow on the tractor in the previous life.
As early as a few years ago, Yang Xiaotao remembered this thing when he came to work in the fields.
It’s just that there were no tractors at that time, and using oxen to pull it would only be bad, so I didn’t worry about it.
But now, tractors are being designed, and this thing has a way out.
Moreover, this kind of iron plow can adjust the position, which is much better than the current manual left and right adjustment.
The most important thing is that this iron plow has a simple structure and can be built with a little design.
Of course, there were many agricultural tools like plows in the previous life. Their functions were different and some were difficult or easy. But as long as those farm tools were designed and paired with tractors, they would be completely efficient.
Yang Xiaotao has been hanging out with a group of farmers in the fields for more than half a month, asking about the tips for cultivating the land from time to time, and sometimes discussing the use of farm tools.
These are the directions that Yang Xiaotao needs to consider when designing agricultural tools next.
But these days have been fruitful for Yang Xiaotao. The farm tools in his mind have been taken shape and are just waiting to be designed.
As you can imagine, once these things are designed, there will be a huge wave of credits.
When enough credits are accumulated, you can upgrade to mechanical proficiency or upgrade the main skill engineer level.
If you have these experiences and supplement your knowledge, your own strength will be further improved.
