Chapter 149 Spring Plowing

Chapter 149 Spring Plowing

The sunshine in spring is warm and genial. The farmers who got up early are still busy in the fields while the sun is still early, plowing the ground one by one and planting seeds. They are so busy that they add a sense of warmth to the still cool spring day.

The Chen Wensen family in Chenjia Village is busy on their own land. Wheat and sorghum have been planted in their original farmland. Then they set aside one or two acres of dry land. After clearing two acres of land, the family planted Chen.

Seeds brought back by Xun.

Chen Xun gave Chen Wensen and the others a lot of sweet potatoes, potatoes, corn, peanuts, tomatoes, peppers and other seeds. She told Chen Wensen and the others that in addition to sweet potatoes, potatoes and corn, every family should plant them, and the others could be planted by others.

Plant one or two species.

On the land left by Chen Wensen's family, all three food crops are planted in one acre. Then peppers are interplanted between the corn fields, and some corn can also be interplanted on the sweet potato side, which is planted relatively sparsely.

Chen Yun wrote to Chen Wensen and others about interplanting, which crops are more suitable for interplanting together, etc. If there is still room in the corn field, some crops such as soybeans can also be planted.

The reason why Chen Wensen and the others had time to plant the seeds sent back by Chen Chun when everyone was busy with spring planting was because when sending the seeds, Chen Chun also sent two cows and new farm tools to Chen Wensen and the others.

It is much more convenient to buy cattle in Chang'an than in Chenjiacun. Chen Yun bought two cattle and sent them back to her adoptive parents. She also prepared one or two sets of farm tools such as plows, pickaxes, etc.

, write and tell them how to use it.

Chen Wensen and the others got a sum of money when Chen Yun left. Later, after they split up, although each family didn't get much, they still bought a cow together.

Unexpectedly, now that Chen Yun has given away two cows, they will have more cows to use.

Although Chen Wensen and his family are separated, the brothers all work together. The three cows are all used together. After one family's land is plowed, the next family's land will be plowed. With a large population, there is a large labor force, so the speed is fast.

Some.

Now Chen Wensen and his family have planted crops such as wheat, sorghum, soybeans, and peas on their original farmland. Now they are planting new crops such as sweet potatoes, corn, peppers, and tomatoes.

Others in Chenjia Village thought Chen Wensen and his family were crazy after learning about their actions. They were all veteran farmers who had been farming for decades. Why did they listen to a teenage girl?

"Vinsen, why do you just listen to Sanniang? How old is Sanniang? How does she know how to farm?"

"What are these seeds? How could you listen to her and set aside so much land for planting?" the villagers said earnestly.

You must know that farmland is really important. As a result, Chen Wensen's family alone set aside two acres of dry land and opened up two acres of wasteland to plant crops they had never known before. This made them very worried that they would not be able to harvest by then. Chen Wensen and the others

The family is having a hard time.

"Are you still worried about Qixin's family's land? What is there to worry about? Even if Qixin's family's harvest fails, don't they still have a daughter in the capital who can subsidize them? They will never starve to death." One and Chen Wensen and the others.

The person who couldn't be dealt with at home spoke up.

"Father Qixin and the others were able to raise the legitimate daughter of the Hou family. Now this legitimate daughter has married into the royal family and became a princess. With such a daughter, Dad Qixin and his family will not starve to death even if they stop farming this year."

of."

"What's more, Dad Qixin and his family not only have one daughter who married into the royal family, but their own daughter also married a prince."

"Father Qixin and his family have two princesses as their backers, so why should they farm?" The man said, then showed a look of realization and said, "I forgot, father Qixin has two daughters.

One became the princess, and the other became the concubine."

"But the prince's concubine is also very powerful, much more powerful than us ordinary people anyway." The man looked at Chen Wensen and the others and said, "Father Qixin, don't you think so? With your two daughters in charge, your family can do whatever you want this year.

You’re not afraid of going hungry, right?”

"I remember that during the Chinese New Year, Chang'an sent back a lot of things." The man said with an envious expression, "I don't know what Mrs. Chun sent to your family. By the way, Dad Qixin,

Your biological daughter, didn’t she send anything to your family?”

"What does it have to do with you?" Chen Qiming, who was listening to the man's chattering, retorted, looked at the other person and said, "What did my sister give to our family? Does it have to do with you?"

"Has sister given us anything, and what does it have to do with you?"

"Although your surname is Chen, the relationship between our families has been going on for a long time, okay? What does our family's affairs have to do with you?"

Fifteen-year-old Chen Qiming is very outspoken. He always says what he has to say. He is basically the one who does things like taunting others. Among the brothers, he has a more fiery personality.

The man was very unhappy when he saw Chen Qiming quarreling with him and said, "Qiming, what does this have to do with you? I'm talking about your uncle's daughter, not yours."

"My uncle's sister is also my sister. What's wrong? Although our families are separated, we have not severed our relationship. Why are the affairs of my uncle's family not my family's business?" Chen Qiming asked.

"My sister is in Chang'an now. Where is Chang'an? That's where His Majesty and his ladies live, and where the high officials live."

"My sister has established a firm foothold in Chang'an. She has seen a lot and knows a lot. Although we don't know the seeds given to our family, they are definitely good things."

"Our family decided to grow things, and they are not planted in your land to delay your family's food cultivation. Why do you care so much?" Chen Qiming said.

Everyone’s land is private, and they can plant whatever they want. They themselves don’t worry about what will happen if the harvest fails, so why do outsiders care so much?

Especially in the name of caring about them, they say all kinds of sarcastic words, say all kinds of sarcastic remarks and make fun of their family. They don't want such "care", okay?

"My Third Auntie said that when the crops grown at home are harvested later, she will spend money to take them back. We have no loss, so Third Auntie will bear the risk herself."

"Okay, okay, don't delay my family's farming." After Chen Qiming scolded the other party, he didn't want to continue talking. It was too much of a waste of time. They still have a lot of land that they haven't planted yet.

Chen Wensen's family alone has cultivated two acres of wasteland. Chen Wenyu, Chen Wenning and Chen Wenhai's family have each reclaimed more than one and nearly two acres of wasteland. They still have so much land that they have not cultivated.

When Chen Xun sent the seeds, she asked Chen Wensen and others to raise seedlings for sweet potatoes, potatoes, peppers, tomatoes, etc. before they were planted, and then plant them after they were almost grown.

Especially sweet potatoes, which can be transplanted by cutting vines, so sweet potatoes should be cultivated earlier, allowing them to germinate and grow longer vines. When transplanting, cut the vines into several sections to grow more.

place.

Chen Xun sent a lot of seeds to her adoptive parents for them to plant, and of course her own Zhuangzi also prepared a lot of seeds for planting.
