Chapter 230 Throwing Seedlings 【Happy National Day!】
[Happy holidays! The first 5,000-word chapter of October is here! Please subscribe!]
It’s not that the folks in Xianjiqiao don’t help the educated youth at Youth Farm, it’s that they themselves are too busy. Although there are many people in Xianjiqiao, there are old, young, women and children, and less than half of them can work in the fields.
.
Now the rice seedlings of the production team have reached the most suitable period for transplanting. If you delay the farming season, you will definitely be punished. But semi-laborers like Zhang Xilai have a lot of free time. After school, I went to Chang Xing's house with Zhang Dalei and Zhou Hongbing.
.
"You don't have to catch up on your work points?" Chang Xing was surprised to see these three.
"Why rush for work points! People think that we are a hindrance in the fields, and people like us are not allowed to fight for work points. I don't believe it. No matter how slow I am, can I be slower than Xiao Laosi? Xiao Laosi also wants to grab it.
Work points?" Zhang Xilai was very dissatisfied. He was not angry because he had lost the opportunity to work, nor was he upset because he had lost work points. It was simply because he was ignored. At an age where being recognized by others is the most important thing, he is always ignored.
It's quite unpleasant to be treated like a brat by others.
"Xiao Laosi's hands and feet are slow, but he does not transplant the seedlings, but pulls them out. His hands and feet are slow to transplant the rice seedlings, but the speed of pulling out the seedlings is not satisfactory. Instead, his technique is light and does not hurt the seedlings at all. He washes them very cleanly and picks them up.
It's very light to get up. Xilai, can you pull out the seedlings? I asked you to pull out the seedlings that day, and half of the seedlings were broken. If you continue like this, at least half of our rice fields in Xianjiqiao will be deserted." Zhou Hongbing said.
Zhang Xilai chuckled. It's not that he doesn't know how to pull out seedlings, but he doesn't have the patience. Pulling out seedlings is a very boring and tiring job. He squats in one place for a long time without moving, and always does repetitive work. Generally speaking,
It is difficult for young people to persevere. It is suitable for people of Xiao Laosi's age.
"Let's go to the Youth Farm. Those educated young people are also planting rice seedlings. They have never planted rice seedlings before. It must be very funny." Zhou Hongbing said.
"Yes, let's go watch the fun." Zhang Xilai was afraid that the world would not be in chaos.
Zhang Dalei also likes to watch the excitement, but of course he prefers to watch female educated youths. Among the four of them, he is the one who "sensible" earlier.
The four of them went to the Youth Farm together. In the rice fields of the Youth Farm, everyone was really busy.
"Look, look! This is the first time I've seen someone lock themselves in a field while planting rice. Hahaha..." Zhang Xilai laughed unabashedly.
Chang Xing couldn't help laughing when he saw it.
Zhang Xi was talking about Zhu Hongzhen. Zhu Hongzhen was too lazy to move her feet. She grabbed a handful of seedlings and planted them all around her. When she wanted to move her feet, she found that she was trapped by the seedlings and couldn't get out.
Zhang Xilai's voice was loud, and Chang Xing's and others' laughter was also loud. Zhu Hongzhen's face turned red and her ears were red with laughter from the four of them, and she felt ashamed.
"You guys are real. You don't know how to help others, but you just know how to make fun of others. It was the first time Hongzhen planted rice seedlings. She was not afraid of being dirty or tired. This is worthy of praise. You still laugh at others, you say
Is this appropriate for you?" Wu Wanyi walked over and cleared away the seedlings around Zhu Hongzhen, and rescued Zhu Hongzhen.
"Chang Xing, why don't we go over and help? They really haven't transplanted the rice seedlings before. At this rate, the rice seedlings will be damaged by the time they finish transplanting the rice seedlings," Zhou Hongjun said.
"I've never planted rice seedlings before," Chang Xing said.
"How is that possible? Don't you plant rice by yourself every year?" Zhang Xilai asked puzzledly. They had never seen how Chang Xing planted rice.
"I don't plant rice like this. I just plant the seeds and let them grow." Chang Xing said.
"Ah? Is this okay?" Zhang Xilai and others were dumbfounded.
"It's pretty good." Chang Xing said.
"Then the three of us go help. You watch from the sidelines." Zhou Hongbing said.
"I will be responsible for picking out the rice seedlings for you. I will definitely hinder your business if I go to the fields to plant the rice seedlings." Zhang Dalei said.
Zhang Xilai and Zhou Hongbing went to the fields, picked up the seedlings and started planting them. The two of them were definitely not the most skillful people in Xianji Bridge, but among the educated youth, they were definitely the most skillful. Among the children in Xianji Bridge, who was not?
Have you ever made trouble in the fields? Planting rice is naturally very methodical.
Zhang Dalei ran over and took over Wu Wanyi's pick: "Teacher Wu, I am slow to transplant the rice seedlings. Let me pick the rice seedlings. I am very strong."
Without much effort, Wu Wanyi handed the pick in her hand to Zhang Dalei: "Is it true that Chang Xing has never planted rice seedlings?"
"I don't know whether he has planted rice seedlings before, and I have never seen him. However, Chang Xing never tells lies, and I know that. Since he said he has never planted rice seedlings, it must be true.
I did." Zhang Dalei said.
"Chang Xing, didn't you plant fields on the mountain? Why haven't you planted rice seedlings?" Wu Wanyi asked strangely. It wasn't that she didn't believe Chang Xing, but she was very curious.
Chang Xing explained his method of growing rice and said, "My method of growing rice is different from yours."
"Is it really possible to grow this kind of rice? If the rice seeds are all damaged, wouldn't all your efforts be wasted?" Wu Wanyi said.
"Why is it so easy to spoil? Rice is not that precious. When it is big, if you accidentally drop it into the field, it will not take long for the rice to sprout and turn into seedlings. It can sprout so easily, how can it spoil so easily?
What?" Chang Xing said.
"Well, it does make sense. Do we take this rice too seriously?" Wu Wanyi asked doubtfully.
Zhang Dalei walked over with a load of seedlings swaying: "It's not that simple. Changxing can grow rice, but you can only grow a field of straw."
"Why?" Wu Wanyi asked.
"Secret." Zhang Dalei smiled.
Wu Wanyi looked at Chang Xing, and she had long felt that Chang Xing was full of magical colors, and there seemed to be a layer of fog around him, making it difficult to see clearly. Wu Wanyi stared at it for a long time, and almost fell into it.
"Chang Xing, shall we have a goddess scatter flowers?" Zhang Dalei said with a smile.
Zhang Dalei put down the pick, lifted up a bundle of seedlings, swung it in his hand, and threw the seedlings out with all his strength. The bundle of seedlings flew in a beautiful arc in the air, and then landed lightly in the rice field, splashing
A pool of water splashed around Zhu Hongzhen's body, scaring Zhu Hongzhen so much that she hurriedly ran away.
"Haha, don't panic, I'm very careful, the water won't splash on you." Zhang Dalei said with a smile.
When Zhang Dalei threw out the second bundle of seedlings, something happened. The seedlings bundled by this intellectual young man were not very tight. Zhang Dalei threw them so hard that the seedlings spread out in the air and suddenly turned into a goddess-shaped bundle.
The flowers and bundles of seedlings were completely scattered and fell into the rice fields one by one. Many of them were still inserted directly into the soil.
"Chang Xing, what do you think of my technique? You almost don't have to insert it, just throw it like this." Zhang Dalei said.
Chang Xing smiled, walked by and picked up a bundle of seedlings. He deliberately loosened the straw rope holding the seedlings, and then grabbed the leaves of the seedlings. With a sudden force, the seedlings flew out one by one. Then the whole thing flew out.
They fell neatly, swish, swish... and landed in the rice field. They were evenly arranged, and they stood firmly in the rice field to plant the rice seedlings. They were even more neatly planted than the seedlings planted by Hong Bing and Xilai.
"My dear mother! You are really amazing!" Zhang Dalei opened his mouth wide.
Wu Wanyi was just about to blame Chang Xing and Zhang Dalei for being too random. But at this moment, she was a little dumbfounded. This method was too precise. They hit wherever they pointed, they were sharpshooters.
"Chang Xing, one more!" Zhang Dalei quickly handed Chang Xing another bundle of seedlings.
Chang Xing took it, pulled off the tie rope, and threw the seedlings out casually. The seedlings that were chaotic at first began to become orderly in the air, and then like a rain of arrows, they hit the rice field and fell neatly.
When you enter the rice field, the rows and columns are aligned neatly, and they stand firmly in the rice field. There is no need to adjust them at all.
Zhang Xilai and Zhou Hongbing, who were struggling to plant the rice seedlings, stood there and looked dumbfounded. They walked up from the rice field with the rice seedlings.
"This guy is so hateful, he steals our spotlight every time!" Zhang Xilai said.
"Well, we have been busy for a long time, and it only takes him a short moment to completely waste all our efforts." Zhou Hongbing also couldn't laugh or cry.
"Here, here you go. This rice field is handed over to you. I'm really angry. We were all covered in mud. You didn't even take off your shoes, and the field you planted was wider than us!" Zhang Xilai stuffed all the seedlings in his hands into it.
Zhou Hongbing also quickly handed the seedlings to Chang Xing.
"Has Chang Xing really practiced this skill?" Wu Wanyi asked.
"I'm telling you, I won't tell the average person that Chang Xing is a master of martial arts. He knows internal strength!" Zhang Dalei said.
Chang Xing also thinks that throwing rice seedlings is quite fun. As long as the force is controlled well, each of these rice seedlings is under his control. Others cannot throw rice seedlings as accurately as he does, let alone let the rice seedlings fall into the rice field.
After that, they can still be arranged neatly.
Zhu Hongzhen washed off the mud on her body, put on a pair of sandals and walked over: "Comrade Chang Xing, you are so awesome. I've been here for a long time and you haven't just thrown the area wide."
"The two of us have been busy for so long, and we can't compare to him for a second or two." Zhang Xilai said pretending to be frustrated.
"Actually, you two are also very powerful, much better than me. I even locked myself up just now!" Zhu Hongzhen said with some embarrassment.
"I'm sorry. We shouldn't have laughed at you just now." Zhang Xilai felt a little embarrassed.
Zhu Hongzhen smiled: "It's nothing. I have never done it before, but I made such a big joke. I think it's funny even when I think about it."
Chang Xing threw the seedlings into the rice fields one by one, and soon a rice field of nearly one or two acres was filled with seedlings.
Chang Xing's speed alarmed all the educated young people in the Youth Farm, and everyone ran over to watch Chang Xing throw the rice seedlings. As a result, Chang Xing threw all the rice seedlings that he had pulled out in one go, and there were no "bullets" left.
Chang Xing helped the Youth Farm throw several acres of rice seedlings at once, which was directly more than the total number of rice seedlings planted by all the educated youths in the Youth Farm the day before.
Xu Changhua was about to take someone to pull the seedlings, but he was caught by Zhao Jianguo. He came to help out of kindness, but you really treat others like cattle and horses!
"Comrade Chang Xing, every time our youth farm encounters difficulties, we always get your help. Thank you so much." Zhao Jianguo said with great gratitude.
"What are you talking about? In fact, I have never planted rice seedlings. I just played around casually. I didn't expect that this technique can be used to plant rice seedlings." Chang Xing said.
"Actually, this method is quite good, but our methods definitely can't control it to your level. But if it's a little messy, it's a little messy. The big deal is, after throwing out the rice seedlings, we can tidy it up. Compared with the speed of transplanting rice seedlings like us,
It’s much faster. If we can plant the seedlings in time without missing the farming season this time, we will definitely thank you for this method.” Zhao Jianguo plans to use the method of throwing rice seedlings to complete the transplanting work in all the remaining rice fields.
Zhao Jianguo knew that they could not have the precision of Chang Xing. After throwing away the seedlings, they could still form a row when they fell. This was completely inhumane. It was impossible for any educated youth to achieve this level, at least in a short period of time.
They can't do it within their own time. But it doesn't matter. They don't need to be so precise. They just need to throw the seedlings roughly evenly and then go to the field to make some adjustments. Although it is a bit more cumbersome, the progress will definitely be greatly accelerated and they can be there before the seedlings arrive.
Planting the seedlings in the field before the seedling gate period is already very complete.
In the next few days, Youth Farm used this method to transplant rice seedlings. However, their method could not be compared with Chang Xing's method.
"Oh, I couldn't control it, the seedlings didn't scatter!"
"Oops, I used too much force and the seedlings completely lost their accuracy!"
"Zhou Xianglin, you haven't had enough to eat, so why are you so far away?"
"It was a mistake. I was afraid that I would use too much force and end up with less strength." Zhou Xianglin smiled sheepishly.
"It's okay, take your time. Whoever has the best skills will be responsible for throwing the seedlings from now on. The rest are divided into two groups, one group is responsible for pulling the seedlings, and the other group is responsible for going to the fields to repair the seedlings." Zhao Jianguo asked everyone in the youth farm to take turns.
After testing, I found a few with slightly stronger wrist control. However, the gap with Chang Xing is not at the same level.
Zhao Jianguo did not feel disappointed either. For Youth Farm, this method is already a shortcut.
Zhou Xianglin practiced and practiced, and his technique became a little more reliable. At least the seedlings were thrown out and dispersed relatively evenly. Of course, don't expect miracles like rows and columns.
Naturally, the news at the Youth Farm cannot escape the eyes of the folks in Xianjiqiao. After all, the Youth Farm is right next to the paddy field in Xianjiqiao. Naturally, you can see the strange rice transplanting method of the Youth Farm.
"Secretary Maolin, the group of educated youths at Youth Farm have started messing around again." Xiao Yinshun quickly reported what he saw to Zhou Maolin.
"What's going on?" Zhou Maolin has always been worried about Youth Farm. Now Youth Farm is nominally under his control. If something really happens at Youth Farm, he still can't escape being slapped by Shi Mingben.
"These educated young people, although they were a little clumsy in transplanting the rice seedlings at first, they were pretty good at it. But they may have been impatient because the rice transplanting speed was too slow. Now they have come up with a time-saving and labor-saving method. The rice seedlings don't have to go to the fields.
After planting, just stand on the ridge and throw the seedlings into the rice field. How can you do this? The seedlings are all crooked in the field, how can they grow well? Moreover, the seedlings are not in rows or rows, and the whole thing looks like
The ground is like a mess of grass. If this continues, they will only receive one day of grass this year," Xiao Yinshun said.
Zhou Maolin frowned. He couldn't ignore the intellectual youths in Youth Farm who were doing such nonsense, and hurried to Youth Farm.
"Jianguo." Zhou Maolin found Zhao Jianguo on the paddy field ridge of Youth Farm. Along the way, Zhou Maolin took a look at the rice fields of Youth Farm. Most of the rice fields had been planted with seedlings. These seedlings were everywhere in the fields.
It was a mess. Zhou Maolin had a headache.
"Secretary Zhou, you are here." Zhao Jianguo greeted him warmly.
"Jianguo. You have always been very steady in your work. Why have you become rough in your work now?" Zhou Maolin's tone clearly contained a hint of dissatisfaction and sullenness.
"Secretary Zhou, are you talking about the way we plant rice seedlings? I can't help it. None of the educated young people on our farm have ever done farm work. They have never planted rice seedlings in the future. According to our speed on the first day, not one of them has done anything.
In thirty days, we simply could not complete the transplanting work in all the rice fields. This progress would definitely delay the farming season. Comrade Chang Xing happened to come to our farm and used a trick. He threw the rice much faster than we could transplant it.
It's even neater than our transplanting. Although we can't reach the level of Comrade Chang Xing, we can still insert the seedlings evenly into the field. And we specially arranged personnel to make adjustments afterwards," said Zhao Jianguo.
"Chang Xing teaches you how to throw rice seedlings?" Zhou Maolin was stunned.
"It's not like he taught me. When he came here to play, he showed his hand and planted a handful of seedlings evenly and neatly in the field. After a while, he helped us plant several acres of fields. I was inspired at that time.
If we follow the conventional rice transplanting method, we will definitely delay the farming season. In desperation, we stole the rice from Changxing," said Zhao Jianguo.
"If you plant the fields like this now, what will you do if there is no harvest?" Zhou Maolin softened his attitude when he heard that the matter was related to Chang Xing.
"Secretary Zhou, in fact, as long as the seedlings are kept at a suitable distance, they don't necessarily need to be arranged so neatly. We are not planting flowers, but we have to plant them so beautifully. As long as they can produce rice, isn't that enough?" Zhao Jianguo said.
"But your rice is in such a mess. It will be very inconvenient to spray pesticides and weeds in the future. It's not that when planting rice, you have to plant the seedlings beautifully, but it's about making it easier to manage later." Zhou Maolin said.
"We will improve it in the future, but this is all we can do now. Now we just have to catch up with the farming season. We don't care about anything else." Zhao Jianguo is also very helpless. He also wants to plant the rice fields neatly like the people of Xianjiqiao.
They can be arranged neatly, beautifully, vertically in rows, vertically in columns, or even diagonally. However, Youth Farm cannot do that at all!
