The precipitation throughout February was pitiful, and the water in the pasture and riverbanks was affected. The originally planned lotus root fields have now become a wet tidal flat, and some grass sprouts have gradually sprouted.
In this March weather, the grass buds are tender and swaying, always attracting those cattle and sheep who want to see what's going on.
At this time, the two brothers Chen Chi and Chen Xi are needed.
The two border shepherds would circle around them, shouting and roaring so loudly that the cattle and sheep had to move back.
If there are those who don't cooperate, Chen Chi, who is very strong, will be responsible for pulling them away.
However, this one is still fantasizing and rehearsing at the moment, because the grass in the pasture is actually quite fresh and tender, and the cattle and sheep cannot eat it, so they eventually went back honestly.
Zhang Wang's family continued to chatter: "Don't think there's nothing wrong there - the soil on the surface is dry, but it's still wet underneath! If the cow gets stuck, he won't be able to pull it out!"
"Not to mention what if he sprains his foot inside, what a good calf we are! Can you bear to let him suffer like this?"
Chen Chi didn't understand much about other things, but he remembered the matter "It's easy to sprain your feet and cause pain". At this moment, he even patted his chest and nodded:
"I'll keep an eye on it."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Yan Ran and three others riding a tricycle skillfully, wearing sun protection hats and holding tablets.
Now that I have been working for a while, everyone is familiar with each other, especially the three of them who often travel all over the mountains and plains, so there are not many people they don’t know.
Even Chen Chi remembered it. After calling her sister with a smile, Yan Ran said again:
"Chen Chi, is your phone not charged? Qiao Qiao said he asked you to watch "Digibaby" after get off work..."
Chen Chi said "Ah" and quickly ran into the house.
After everyone said hello to each other, Yan Ran and Qi Lin found the correct position and squatted down first, then reached out and dug out a ball of wet mud.
The two of them, one on the bank and the other on the edge of the river, simply washed and wiped their hands and quickly started taking notes.
"The water temperature and air temperature have risen, and we are almost ready."
"Okay." Tang Xiaodong also started making plans.
But he still doesn't give up: "It stands to reason that building a dam will be easier to manage, and the output will be higher in the future."
Yan Ran shook her head: "Song Tan knows, and her uncle also offered to help build the dam last year, but she didn't agree."
As for why...
"Because there is no shortage of the production increase brought by building the dam, and she actually wants to row a boat in it."
"You can row all the way to the other end of the river bend. Building a dam will block your artistic conception - well, forget it, the output will actually have no impact on Song Tan."
"Just plan like this, before the rain comes..."
When Yan Ran said this, Qi Lin and Tang Xiaodong felt that they were making money easily again. But think about the strawberries in the field behind the dormitory that are protected day and night... Hiss!
It’s easy to make money, but it’s not easy to graduate!
Tang Xiaodong sighed: "Okay, it's best to settle down the work today - the exposed area of this river beach is about 30 acres, and it will take two days to clean it up for sun protection."
"Look at the weather. Do we need to stay in the sun for a week?"
"It's not feasible. If we spread the base fertilizer next week after it rains for a week, it won't ferment easily. Instead, it will easily pollute the surrounding river water."
"The ducks, geese, cattle and sheep over there love to go to the water source over there."
"Okay, just spread the base fertilizer directly after drying... I'll see if it rains and try to start planting when the rain stops."
"By the way, Qi Lin, are you sure that the seedlings that the teacher contacted can be shipped on time?"
Qi Lin sighed: "I originally picked Elian, Wu Zhi, Yugoslavia, Space 36..."
These are all economic varieties that either have high yields of lotus roots or high yields of lotus seeds and good taste.
However, Qi Lin just wants to shake his head now: "In addition, I have provided several varieties for Song Tan to choose, so that when we manage, we can see whether to focus on the yield of lotus roots or lotus seeds, and then adjust the method accordingly."
"In the end, she only asked me if the flowers looked good and which one was the most delicious. I heard that some taste sweet and crisp, while others taste soft and thick, so I finally decided to plant some of each..."
After the three of them heard this, they looked at each other silently.
Finally, Yan Ran concluded:
"Song Tan really doesn't look like a farmer who made his fortune through agriculture."
People talk about economic efficiency, but she doesn't talk about it at all. People want to have high production and high volume, but she doesn't say she doesn't want to, but the choices she usually makes are not all for this.
but……
Yan Ran, who was not short of money, thought for a while and expressed her understanding:
"If I had such a piece of land at home, I would plant the things I like. Come on, let's arrange these in a row. How can I plant them so that they look good when the time comes?"
"By the way, let me ask her if she wants to plant some flower varieties?"
"By the way, by the way, if we don't build dams, there may be losses to raising loaches on the riverside..."
…
And here, Qiao Qiao was humming and carrying the beehive to the other side of the hillside.
After a winter of low-key development, the number of beehives at home has easily reached fifty.
Now it is a large volume that can only be delivered by all four members of the old Song family on tricycles - compared to the five beehives at the beginning.
Seeing that there seemed to be people who needed work here, I saw Chen Yuan and others approaching from a distance: "Do you want to move something?"
Qiao Qiao was just about to point to the rapeseed field in front of her when she heard Song Tan smile and refuse: "I can move it, but I don't need your help - everyone has their own division of labor, and you always come to help. It's been a long time, and I'm using it here."
It’s all natural.”
She was the boss, and what she said actually made sense, but Chen Yuan laughed:
"Yes, we have our own jobs, but we have already changed shifts, which I am happy to do."
Young boss Song heard that he came back to start a farm after graduating from college and accumulating some work experience. He probably didn't know how valuable the job and welfare benefits he provided were to a group of people like them who had difficulty living in a familiar environment.
Bar.
Even if you don’t feel it at first, now that you have been working for a month, no one will be able to notice the change in your daily eating, drinking, sleeping and workload.
So Chen Yuan went straight to move the beehives: "They are disbanding, I will help them."
Song Tan was a little helpless. Fortunately, it was really not a strenuous job in front of her——
"Place the beehives in a straight line along the rapeseed field, with each beehive spaced about 3m apart."
On this side of the hillside is a large field of rapeseed flowers. Now the flowers are in full bloom, and the bright yellow color in front of you makes people's hearts wide open.
And in the gentle fields at the foot of the mountain, there are deep and light greens and appropriate shades of purple.
In the new spring, everything begins again, and the milkvetch in the ten acres of rice fields is slowly blooming.
Farther along the boundary line, there are rapidly growing golden cherry blossoms climbing on the high fence. Because autumn and winter contain too much energy, strong bamboo shoots are now being pulled out of the soil one by one.
You don’t have to wait until midsummer for a sea of splendid flowers to bloom.
