The next morning, Liu Limin was going to fertilize the Ligusticum chuanxiong and other traditional Chinese medicines in the field. The fertilizer was all made of farmyard manure, which was the manure from the manure tank.
After breakfast, Liu Limin called his younger brothers and sisters. Only when everyone works together can they be more efficient.
Hearing that it was necessary to fertilize herbs, Zheng Min and Zheng Qiang were very curious. Zheng Qiang asked: "Brother Liu, how do you fertilize these herbs?"
Liu Limin smiled and said: "This is very simple. It's the same as crops. You pick up manure and fertilize it. How about it? Want to see it?"
Just when Zheng Qiang was about to say no, Mr. Zheng chuckled and said: "Zheng Qiang, Zheng Min, today you two will experience the hard work of our farmers. You can't go to Dr. Liu's house to eat and drink for free. Today you will
Pick your shit carefully and I will supervise you!"
After hearing their father's order, Zheng Min and his sister, although the elder was reluctant, had no choice but to do so because they did not dare to object at all.
Zheng Qiang thought to himself, if word got out that I, a dignified young man and a future business tycoon, would make people laugh, they would definitely laugh.
Zheng Min felt extremely sad in her heart. How could she, a weak woman, carry such a heavy burden? What's more, it was a big excrement. Even if she picked up excrement today, she wouldn't be able to wash it off even if she jumped into the Rongxi River.
Once it's clean, it will stink for a long time.
Although Mr. Zheng said so, Liu Limin couldn't just let Zheng Min and Zheng Qiang do the picking.
So Liu Limin still advised: "Mr. Zheng, this is not good. After all, this is our rural job, and I'm afraid they won't be able to bear it!"
Mr. Zheng said seriously: "They usually live a very good life and have never experienced the hard work of working people. Today I want them to receive a good education. Back then, many educated young people went to the countryside to receive education.
There's nothing the two of them can't do, Xiao Liu, just leave it alone and let them do it!"
Picking manure for farming is not a big deal for rural children. Even Liu Lixin and Liu Lihui started doing it after Xiaobing started doing it.
But for Zheng Min and Zheng Qiang, this job is indeed too difficult.
Neither of them knew what to do when they picked up the poles, so Liu Lixin took them to the back of the toilet and explained to them.
Although Zheng Min was reluctant in her heart, she had no choice.
He had no choice but to grit his teeth and follow Liu Lixin to the cesspool.
It stinks so much! Both siblings felt it, especially Zheng Min, who almost vomited when she smelled it.
Although I can still smell it when I go to the toilet, the smell is not that strong.
Liu Lixin said with a smile: "Brothers and sisters, don't worry, don't stink. In fact, pig manure does not stink. It is much better than human manure. Pigs eat grass and grain. This stuff is good for fertilizing the land. You usually eat it."
The vegetables are all watered with this kind of manure!"
Well, vegetables also need to be fertilized. Although chemical fertilizers are also used in this era, many rural areas still use farmyard manure in large quantities.
After all, there is a lot of fertilizer in the farm, and every household raises pigs, so the manure and water are not enough. This kind of organic fertilizer is better than chemical fertilizer.
Zheng Qiang covered his nose and said: "Sister, it stinks so much, how do you do this work!"
Liu Lixin smiled and said: "Brothers and sisters, let me show you how to pretend to be shit!"
As he said this, Liu Lixin picked up the manure basket, put it into the manure tank and stirred it for a few times, then filled up the manure water and poured it into the manure bucket.
Suddenly the smell became even louder, and there were many mosquitoes and flies flying around.
Zheng Qiang took Liu Li's new manure loader and started to load it with manure and water. Since it was the first time for him to do this job, he spilled a lot of it on the ground. Suddenly the ground was like water, and it became even more smelly.
Zheng Qiang put the grappling hook on his shoulder, walked over and hooked up two buckets of excrement. There was a lot of excrement on his feet. The pungent smell made him almost unbearable, but there was no way. If he didn't do it,
, the old father must not curse himself to death.
Next is Zheng Min. As a girl, it is even more difficult for her to pick up the excrement bucket. Although she reluctantly packed the excrement, when she picked it up, it was so heavy that she wanted to throw the excrement bucket away.
After thinking about it, he still gritted his teeth and persisted, and followed step by step to the end of the field. Although he said that he had to put down to rest after not walking very far, he finally completed the first mission.
Liu Limin looked at the two siblings, looking so embarrassed, and wanted to laugh in his heart, but he didn't have the nerve to laugh out loud.
Zhang Xiuying was a little embarrassed, because after coming here for so long, she had never done anything like picking up excrement, and Liu Limin never let her do it.
When the dung water arrived, Liu Limin smiled and said: "Thank you for your hard work, take a rest and I'll pour all the dung water. You can go back and pick it up. Today we will probably have to pick a dozen or so pieces of land. Take your time."
, don’t be in a hurry!”
When Liu Limin said that he would pick more than a dozen items, Zheng Min and Zheng Qiang were immediately dumbfounded. They thought they only needed two or three picks, but they didn't expect so many.
Zheng Qiang said with a bitter look on his face: "No way, Brother Liu, there are so many to pick, can you pick less? It's so difficult, my shoulders are almost swollen!"
Liu Limin also knows this. For people who have never done this job, let alone pick eight out of ten picks, even if you pick them once, your shoulders will hurt for several days. Some people with thin skin and tender flesh can even scratch their shoulders.
.
Of course, if you do farm work for a long time, these problems will not exist. This is all a process of adaptation. When the body adapts to such work, it will feel nothing.
Liu Lihui smiled and said: "Brother Zheng, you people in the city can't bear this hardship. When my eldest brother was fifteen or sixteen years old, he had to carry more than two hundred kilograms of millet. When he was threshing millet, he had to pick more than a dozen a day.
He never complained about the pain. This load of manure weighs only sixty or seventy pounds at most."
Zheng Min smiled bitterly and said: "Brother, stop talking, let's continue working. No matter how hard or tiring it is, it's just for this day. People can endure this hardship if they work every day. If we can't endure this little hardship, in the future
How can we do big things!"
Although Zheng Min felt quite aggrieved in her heart, she was still much more mature than Zheng Qiang after all. Although she was covered in fragrance and had a lot of excrement on her feet, this made her, who has a mysophobia,
They all wanted to go back quickly and wash themselves off in the bathroom, but they had to listen to their father and had to endure it.
Liu Limin fertilized quickly, and Liu Lihui and the others also helped with pine land and other things.
The second trip started. Zheng Min and her brother gritted their teeth. After finishing this trip, both of them felt terrible pain in their shoulders, especially Zheng Min. She felt that her shoulders must have been worn out and sweaty.
The bite hurt the skin so much.
But she still didn't complain and continued to persevere.
In fact, Mr. Zheng is not willing to let his children suffer, especially Zheng Min, such a delicate city girl. It is really difficult for her, but Mr. Zheng also knows that if they don't let them suffer more, it will be difficult for them to become great in the future.
