I knew from scratch that it must be the three brothers of the Chen family. Not only did he tell Tong Jiuyang about his affairs at Fang Yulan's house that night, but he also privately promoted it in the village.

He was mentally prepared and was not afraid at all. He even cleaned up Tong Jiuyang, not afraid of the villagers gossiping.

Zhen Cuihua wanted to take advantage of this, but she had no use at all. She had no intention of using it.

All night was safe and sound.

Baishou went home early and boiled water to the rice seeds in the soil pit.

It is still cold, so using warm water to water the rice seeds is to promote the early germination of rice seeds.

The next farm work is to "make seedling fields", which is to prepare for the germination of rice to be planted into the fields.

The Bai family's rice fields are just outside the wall of the Bai family's yard, with a total of half acres. In fact, three points are enough, and the extra two points are just lent to Chen Cuihua for use.

Half acre of seedlings was used to make two days of work. First dig deep trenches to ensure that they can drain water in time, and then use a hoe to turn over the soil.

After turning the soil, water the seedlings to ensure that the dry soil turns into mud and like paste. Then use a bamboo rake to flatten the field, the flatter the better. Then drain the water and try not to let water in the seedlings.

The seedlings must be fat, but not too much fat. I carried two manure buckets with my hands, washed two loads of manure from my own pit, and sprinkled them all over the seedlings.

The rice seeds have been in the pit for four days, and they have been checking them tighter after two days. They have been looking through three or five times a day. The rice seeds have broken their shells and sprouted, but the bud roots are not long enough.

On the fifth day, most of the bud roots of rice seeds grew to six or seven millimeters.

Rice seeds should be out of the pit. If the bud roots grow to one centimeter or more, they will be over-ripe.

At three or four o'clock in the afternoon, the sun sets west and the wind is not strong.

I took two dustpans, a shoulder pole, a small bucket and a bamboo broom in my hand, and came to the edge of the soil pit. I first took off the straw and fiber bags, and then carefully used my hands to move the rice seeds into the dustpan in handfuls.

If the sprouted rice seeds break the roots, they will become dead seeds.

When I arrived at the field, I took off my shoes and socks with my hands, rolled up my trousers, and then moved the rice seeds into the bucket in handfuls.

I lift the ditch under my feet, and there is water in the ditch, which is very cold.

The white hand was like an old farmer, sprinkling the rice seedlings evenly in the seedling fields. The five-row seedling fields were sown intact, and the rice seedlings in the dustpan were just enough.

There is another very important process. I took the bamboo broom with my hands, soaked it in the ditch, dredged it with mud and water, and then poured it on the seedlings.

In order to keep the heat in mind, the rice seeds must be covered with mud water before the rice sprouts take root, otherwise the rice seeds will be frozen to death.

Finally finished the work, I checked it out for free before packing up the farm tools and going home.

This is the beginning of spring plowing. From planting rice into the fields to growing into seedlings and transplanting them into the fields, there are still at least twenty days left, and there are still a lot of work to do.

Datian's work is not easy to do, and he is thinking about his own three acres of land for no reason.

First, you have to pour water on the field, then take the oxen field, turn the soil over, and let the soil soak into mud in the water.

There is no cattle raised in plains, and the cattle are all in the mountainous areas. In the past, when the production team was in the production team, they had to rent one or two cattle to help with spring farming production.

Now that I have worked alone, I have to temporarily combine cattle, either three or five, seven or eight, five or ten days, and return it after using it.

I have no idea of ​​my own knowledge. In such a huge Bai Village, no one will be with him.

Self-reliance, hard work, I will do it myself.

The old captain came up with an idea again.

Baishou was squatting on the stone bench to eat, a bowl of porridge, half a bowl of sweet potato rice, and a small pot of pickled pickles, eating with relish.

"Duzi, what are you going to do with your three acres of field?"

Baishou intentionally teased the old captain, "How can I do Datian? You can't control it because you are not the captain anymore."

The old captain cursed: "I am not the captain anymore because I am still the team leader, and I can still take care of it."

Guo Cai'e in the room heard it and shouted loudly: "Hand, why did you talk to the old captain?"

"Mom, I'm making my uncle happy." Baishou smiled at the old captain and said, "You are young and old. At the last meeting, the government said that the majority of farmers will take charge of the production matters themselves."

"Be your own decision, be your own decision." The old captain actually smiled and his voice lowered a lot. "Hey, I mean, three acres are planted, five acres are planted, and you also planted two acres of land from Chen Cuihua's family."

He stared at the old captain with his eyes in his hands.

"I promised her, I said you will agree."

"Uncle, when will you decide my home?"

"The rusty boy, I give money, but I give money."

"How much?" When he heard the word "money", Baishou's eyes always shone, and even he scolded himself for being unpromising.

"What are you doing alone? I haven't done it before. The price is difficult to settle. Please discuss it with Chen Cuihua yourself. What do you think?"

"This is almost the same." Baishou glanced at the old captain and asked badly: "Is it that I have been hooked when I worry about Chen Cuihua's family so much?"

The old captain smiled and his face turned red, "He is working hard, he is working hard."

"To be honest, how far has it been? If you don't tell the truth, I won't be your old coolie."

"Hey, don't talk. She let go. She was doing her son and daughter's job. As long as they nodded, it would be done."

I don’t believe it anymore. Although Chen Cuihua is a widow, she has to look good and have money. Why do she like you, an old man?

But seeing the old captain full of enthusiasm and fighting spirit, he couldn't bear to hurt his confidence in nothing.

"What about you? Your old son and daughter have to hurry up and do your work."

"I'll go into the city tomorrow and tell them to go."

"Yes, beware of the long night and the dreams." Seeing that the old captain was happy, Baishou took the opportunity to make up his mind, "Uncle, I have no problem in helping Chen Cuihua work, but you have to sacrifice yourself."

"Go and sacrifice, I'm an old bone, what's there to sacrifice?"

"Take out your old water truck and lend it to me. If you always give it to me generously, I have no objection."

The old captain didn't say anything.

In the 1950s, the old captain became a provincial model worker, and the government rewarded him with a water truck, hiding like a treasure.

Later, when he started a cooperative, the old captain refused to take it out. Instead, he wiped the tung oil and put it on the shelf, and couldn't even take a look.

"Uncle, the water pump of the brigade announced the pump price. Five yuan per acre per quarter is ten yuan a year. My family has three and a half acres of land, which is thirty-five yuan a year, which is equivalent to four hundred kilograms of early rice. It is too expensive and too expensive."

The old captain still didn't let go.

"When I didn't say it, I didn't say it." The first move forward with retreating.

"Okay, I'll lend it to you." The old captain said: "If you help me and make the matter between me and Chen Cuihua, I'll give it to you."

He was overjoyed and stood up to pay his respects, "Thank you, uncle, I sincerely thank you on behalf of the whole family."

With a water truck, you can save 35 yuan in a year with more effort. Where can I find such a good thing?

The next problem to be solved is like turning over two fields, and the fields cannot be plowed without a cow.
