Now is the slack time for farming. Song Sancheng has called all the men and women in the village, those in their thirties and fifties, who can work hard, to come over - the weather waits for no one, so take advantage of the time to put things in order so that the seeds will be sown in the fields in the spring.
Song Tan’s plan was clear and clear——
The grass in the chestnut forest needs to be cleared away, and the old chestnut trees need to be fertilized and fertilized, and they need to be trimmed and trimmed. At that time, fungus frames will need to be built under the trees.
The perimeter should also be fenced off to prevent animals or people from entering and causing trouble.
Just then, some trees were cut down from the back mountain, and the trunks were divided into sections to plant bacteria. The branches were used to build a shed to shelter the pigs from the wind and rain. Several pig troughs were also prepared and separated by barbed wire.
In the field, milkvetch has been planted in the past month or two. After the milkvetch has bloomed, it is almost time to plow it again and prepare to plant rice and vegetables.
Some seeds can be grown as seedlings after a while.
We also have to find local chickens and ducks, and we have to make appointments with people to pick up piglets. With so many people, we have to arrange meals every day...
Song Sancheng and Wu Lan are busy running around every day, but what about their daughter?
It wasn't like there was no work, the little girl was very strong, so she went to the mountain to carry tree trunks.
Who in the village wouldn’t say a word of praise after seeing this!
But Wulan felt sour when he heard it!
What tree trunk are you carrying on your back, you silly boy! You said that at the same age as a flower, what can you say if you don't go to an office and come back to farm? When you talk about marriage in the future, where can you find the right boy?
It’s not that my daughter is always idle, but when she is free, she looks up information on the computer... Wulan once went in to take a look -
Good guy! I’m just cramming now, what kind of scientific planting explanation are you looking at?!
This, this, this!
She gasped. If the money hadn't been spent, she wouldn't have bothered anymore.
The couple spent the night calculating accounts, labor, machines, bacteria, chickens, ducks, piglets, fertilizers...
If you throw 60,000 yuan into it, it will just make a noise.
After further calculation, this amount of money will last until the end of April, and at most, I can harvest a patch of milkvetch.
Wulan still had 60,000 yuan from his family, but seeing that the child was unreliable, Wulan was really reluctant to take the money now that he thought about it!
60,000 yuan, if there is no big deal, the couple will have to save for two years!
Song Sancheng and Wu Lan were so worried that their hair turned white.
They think that raising children is a debt. This girl has been obedient and sensible for 20 years, but now she has become a big boss. How sad!
But strangely enough, the more worried he gets, the more he sleeps soundly at night. Song Sancheng originally snored loudly at night, but there was no movement at all. At Ulan's age, it is good to be able to sleep for five hours intermittently a night, but since then
When my daughter came home, she went to bed at seven or eight o'clock and didn't wake up until six o'clock.
This is really...
Wu Lan complained to Song Sancheng: "Let's just say we are poor. The more we spend, the more tired we become, and the more comfortable we feel!"
Song Sancheng also agreed: "No, look at me bending down to work every day, and the pain in my back is gone!"
In the room, Song Tan collected his aura and hid his merit and fame.
Not far away, however, the couple, grandfather and grandmother Song Youde, have been working with them a lot these days. Now Song Youde is smoking his cigarette pipe, feeling quite happy.
"It's better that we, Tan Tan, have gone to college, are capable, and know how to come back and farm."
"We farmers, as long as there is food in the fields, we have a way out at any time."
It is known that Song Youde: the poor background of a tenant farmer in a typical landowner's family.
In his eyes, there is nothing greater than the fields.
Wang Lifen also had the same idea, but her perspective was different: "Farming is good, we can still do it, but helping the children is not better than sitting in a daze?"
"Besides, we don't see those who raise children a few times throughout the year. If Tan Tan comes back to farm, if we hire someone, there will be fewer people working in the next autumn, and there will be a lot of popularity in the village."
Isn't that right?
They are already at this age. When they were young, seeing that the youngest son's family had only one male, Qiao Qiao, he always felt that it was not possible.
My son can move just fine, but if he gets too old and can't walk anymore, he still has to take care of Qiao Qiao. What should he do?
Now that Tan Tan is back, their family can also rely on them. The two siblings can be together more. At least she can take care of Qiao Qiao as she gets older.
Otherwise, if you don't go home for a long time, the blood and family ties will be consumed quickly.
However, as an old man who has experienced so many years of ups and downs, Song Youde sees things more clearly than Song Sancheng:
"I think Tantan has really learned her skills. Although she is busy in the fields, she still smiles after doing so much work every day. She must have a plan. Maybe she can really make a name for herself."
"That's right," Wang Lifen also admitted: "She has been smart and sensible since she was a child. She will definitely not do anything she is not sure about."
The two of them have not been in good health in the past few years, and the children are not allowed to plant more land. They can still keep a vegetable garden at the door——
It was leisure time, but the old couple just couldn't cheer up.
I doze off during the day and can't sleep at night.
I have been looking for some small things to do every day, and now I see the large piece of land that has been allocated is being toiled, and if nothing else, I feel calm.
During the day, they did what they could. Song Youde went to the fields to help clean up the weeds, and Wang Lifen helped her daughter-in-law cook. They ate together, discussed things together, talked and laughed, and felt closer to her son's family!
Song Youde felt so beautiful that he couldn't help but arrange it again:
"It's cold today, and chickens will lay less eggs. Don't Tantan want to raise chickens? Why don't you ask our old hens to nest in the nest? Let's hatch more chicks and save some money for the children."
"Little local chickens are expensive now, so it's hard to find them."
Wang Lifen also nodded:
"I happen to eat a lot of meat in the winter, so I have saved up all the eggs. Let's pick them up first when we turn on the lights later."
"And that duck, there is a seller of ducklings. Their ducks don't get sick, they grow strong, and they eat well. I'll go and find out about them tomorrow."
Song Youde frowned again: "Don't do too much. In the past few years, either here has been blocked or there has been bird flu or swine fever. Just be patient."
Does Wang Lifen still know?
"It's a waste of time to worry about it. Our place is remote, but the feng shui is good. When did the chickens, ducks and geese get plague? Besides, it costs nothing to raise chickens. As long as they don't get sick and can't be sold, can we just eat them? It saves us having to go out.
Bought."
There are only four old hens at home, and if they all sit in a nest, they can hatch hundreds of chicks. When the time comes, they can put them out in the mountains and fields, and there is no need to worry about it. How simple!
Song Youde thought about it, and now he sighed a little: "You said it would be great if the eldest son and grandson would come back to live in our old house on the mountain. I just gave it to them."
Wang Lifen rolled her eyes: "It will be given to whoever stays in the village. No one wants the old house for five thousand yuan. Your eldest grandson only has three or five houses in the city. How can he care about this?"
Song Youde also said: "After all, he is the eldest son and grandson of our old Song family..."
Don't worry, my family doesn't have anything big or fancy, it's mainly about farming, and the family is short-lived.
In addition, don’t think that food that uses chemical fertilizers is not green food! Fertilizers and pesticides are different.
