The family was very concerned about Gu Qingming's body and the fetus in his belly.

I said that I went to the prenatal check-up on Monday.

There was no appointment for this prenatal check-up, so all kinds of errands were required. The errands were handed over to my sister-in-law Zhou Xiaoyu.

Grandma and Grandma Gu accompanied her, and with a driver, Shi Yaoqing, the car just filled up.

Grandpa Gu followed his grandfather to the field. At first, he stood on the ridge of the field and watched everyone work. But when he saw his grandfather, a man in his seventies, was still strong and planting rice seedlings in the field, he felt excited. Without saying a word, he took off his high-end shoes and was about to go down.

He now wants to experience the feeling of doing farm work.

When he was a child, he was taken to the field by his father to experience the hard life of farmers. Later, he never went to the field again.

"Hey, in-laws, why are you taking off your shoes?" Grandpa was shocked when he saw Grandpa Gu taking off his shoes, "Do you want to come down?"

Grandpa Gu smiled and said, "Well, I want to experience the feeling of planting rice rice."

He looked at a piece of empty fields that had been sorted out and asked, "Are they all artificial rice transplanting, don't there be rice transplanting machines?"

Grandpa smiled and said, "No, my family is considering this."

Grandpa Gu said, "That artificial rice transplanting is time-consuming and labor-intensive!"

"It's true." Grandpa said, "I have planted so much land at home, and every time I ask someone to plant rice, the wages cost thousands of yuan. This is still the case when we have too many people in our family."

Their family has many people, and now they help each other during the busy farming season.

It’s just the middle-season rice that needs to be caught in the rain.

When it rains, the seedlings need to be planted, so that people will not work too much, and the seedlings that are planted will grow better.

Shibei Village is located in the southern region, and the climatic conditions here can plant rice for two seasons a year.

As people's living standards improve, people no longer have the kind of persistence of relying on the ground to live like life.

Especially with the young people nowadays, they are busy going out to work and earn money, leaving behind some left-behind elderly people, left-behind children, and a few families who stay at home.

The purpose of these people's farming is that some people just want to eat the food they grow at home and save a little to buy it, but a few people rely on farming to maintain their family income.

This kind of young people are at home, and their land is more than ten acres.

Just like Gu Qingming’s family, except for his two cousins ​​who were in college, everyone chose to stay at home.

If a family is together, that is true happiness and happiness.

Many of those who go out to work have no choice.

If they farm at home, their family income is not high and they cannot support their family members at all, and they also have to buy houses, cars and other places to spend money.

But Gu Qingming and his uncles are different.

They rely on farming and their annual income can reach more than 100,000 yuan.

It is absolutely fine to have such an income in rural areas, so why choose to make money outside?

Going out to work and keeping the elderly and children is a helpless choice under the trade-offs.

If possible, who doesn’t want to be filial to the elderly at home, and who is willing to be separated from the children, can get together all year round, just during the New Year.

The young people at home have gone out, and the elderly and children who have left behind cannot grow much land, and there is not much time. Moreover, basically every household is not short of food and clothing. The purpose of farming is to plant it so that the whole family can eat in a year.

Therefore, for rice that is two seasons a year, many people now choose to plant one season, just the middle season rice.

Grandpa Gu saw everyone bent down and planting the seedlings seriously, and asked in confusion, "Why are the seedlings in the south now?"

Grandpa explained, "Now transplanting seedlings belong to the middle-season rice. We belong to the south here, and we can plant two seasons of rice. For early rice, we choose seeds in February of the lunar calendar to start growing seedlings, and we can plant seedlings around Qingming Festival in March. For late rice, we usually plant seedlings in mid-to-late May, and around June, it is best to plant seedlings. As for the middle-season, we are now planting seedlings in April and sowing in May."

"Oh, so that's how it is!" Grandpa Gu nodded, "I thought I was growing rice for three seasons."

Grandpa shook his head and said, "It is difficult for us to grow rice in three seasons here. The main reason is that there is insufficient sunshine. Insufficient sunshine will lead to insufficient rice grains. It is not delicious to eat at that time, and it is not easy to sell. It is simply a waste of effort."

Grandpa Gu looked at the empty filling field, and then looked at the green seedlings not far away, pointing to the other side and saying, "Does that belong to early rice?"

"Yes, it's early rice!" said my grandfather. "Now these seedlings are wrapped in rice flowers and are about to bloom. Early rice will mature earlier, and it will take about 110 days from seedling cultivation to harvest. And medium and late rice will take about 120 days."

"It's about ten days away!" Grandpa Gu was a little surprised.

After saying that, he rolled up his trousers and planned to go downstairs.

Grandpa smiled and said, "In-law, there are lees in the field, and some dead earthworms and ants. Aren't you afraid?"

Grandpa Gu, who was about to go to the ground, felt chill all over his body and his hair was about to stand upside down.

His family conditions have been good since he was a child. Even though he was forced to go to the ground by his father when he was a child, it was too long and he could not remember whether he was afraid of these things at that time.

However, when he said he wanted to go downstairs, he had to go downstairs, otherwise wouldn’t he be embarrassed in front of his in-laws?

Grandpa Gu smiled and said, "No, I've been to the ground before! These things are just pediatrics!"

The Gu family is afraid of insect inheritance.

Gu Qingming was bitten by an ant and wanted to cry. If Grandpa Gu was bitten by a leech, I wonder what it would feel like.

Grandpa Gu gritted his teeth and got off the ground.

I followed my grandfather's appearance and grabbed a seedling in the field.

Grandpa guided him, "Put two into small plants, and insert one into large plants. The distance between each bead is about ten centimeters, and then each row and each column is neatly arranged."

Grandpa Gu, “…”

In the seedlings, I took a careful look, picked out two small ones, and tried to plant them.

Then, a whole seedling was almost planted, revealing a little leaf tail.

Grandpa, “…”

Grandpa Gu looked at the seedlings that others had planted and asked, "Isn't that the case?"

Grandpa said, "This seedling doesn't need to be planted too deep in the ground. It just needs to bury the roots and not fall down. In two days, it will grow by itself!"

After saying that, he pulled up the seedlings planted by Grandpa Gu, and inserted them into the ground, and they immediately appeared.

Grandpa Gu, “…”

Then he bent down and picked up a strong seedling and gently planted it into the ground.

Then, the seedlings fell.

Grandpa Gu, “…”
Chapter completed!
