I saw someone was already planting rapeseed. I had to find someone to plow the field quickly.

I found Master Liu in the village and asked him how much an acre of plowing would cost this year. He said, "Thirty yuan per acre. Your dry fields and paddy fields combined are less than two acres. It's just that two fields are smaller."

, there are four fields, big and small, and it’s not convenient for me to drive the cattle and carry the plow. So I’ll charge you two acres.”

I said: "No problem. When will you help me plow?"

Master Liu: "I will plow for you in a moment. I will use other people's plows on both sides of the fields to avoid having to carry the plowshares. There are not many people plowing now. At most, they will be plowed for you tomorrow. Wait.

After a few days, everyone has been moving so fast. Don’t worry about the food. I’ll go to another place to eat. You can just carry half of the rice bran on your back to feed my cows.”

When I got home, I quickly scooped up half of the rice bran and gave it to him.

Then start making preparations.

First, the honeycomb charcoal residue and large manure residue (the fermented stuff of pig manure and urine mixed with the straw for pig bedding) in the small pig pen in the kitchen were carried to the capital courtyard dam for separate treatment.

First, use a hoe to break the carbon residue into fine pieces, and then use a coarse mesh sieve made of bamboo to sift out the fine carbon residue. Leave the coarse part in the sieve, and then pour it aside. After the first sieve is completed, use another

Continue to beat the coarse carbon residue with the hoe, beat it finely, and then sift it through the sieve.

After sifting the carbon residue, sift out the large feces residue. There will be no carbon residue to sift through the large feces residue. If you don’t pay attention, the sieve holes will be blocked. You have to pull it out with your hands. Repeat the action repeatedly. Although the more the

I am getting more and more skilled, but it also makes my back hurt, especially my arms, which are so tight that I can no longer lift the sieve.

At this time, you have to think of a solution. Quickly lift out the bench and stand it up. Then put the sieve on the ground, use a shovel to shovel the large dung residue into the sieve, then put down the shovel, pick up the sieve and put it on the erected bench.

On the feet, hold the edge of the sieve and the bench head tightly with both hands, and keep shaking the bench. This can also achieve the purpose of sifting out large feces.

After finally sifting the feces residue, don’t panic at this time. Find some pockets and put the carbon residue and feces residue separately. Then get some water, wash your hands and face briefly, and then cook some food.

After feeding the pigs, I picked up the hoe and went to the fields.

When I got to the field, I saw that this guy was really upright. Two large and small dry fields had been plowed. After careful inspection, they were plowing very seriously. Although the plowing was not one foot deep, it was at least half a foot deep.

This is "deep cultivation". The next step is "careful cultivation".

I need to use a hoe to dig down the large pieces of soil that he plowed out. Otherwise, there will be no way to grow rapeseed.

Standing in this empty field, it was still very cold despite the whistling wind, and I actually shivered unexpectedly. I had to move quickly.

I dug when I was told. It was true that the moisture-containing soil was much more sticky than the soil in the field. It was really difficult to dig. After digging for a while, I already had back pain and numb arms. Now the situation is even worse.

Looking at the empty fields, stepping on the cold soil, and being blown by the cold wind, I suddenly felt like crying. Unknowingly, tears flowed down.

But what's the use of shedding tears? It's rare that the soil can be dug by oneself just as soon as the tears flow?

I scolded myself "bullshit" in my heart. Keep digging! One more hoe to dig, one less hoe to use.

It was getting dark gradually. Although it was not very late yet, it was not very clear anymore.

He picked up the hoe, dragged his tired body, and staggered back.

When I got home, I saw that my brothers had already returned from school. In fact, I wanted to curse.

But when I saw them doing their homework "seriously", I couldn't even curse them.

Brother Jun is still clever. "Brother, have you gone to dig the fields?"

Me: "Yeah."

Brother Jun: "Are you ready to plant rapeseed?"

Me: "Oh, I saw someone moving. I asked Master Liu to help us plow the fields today. The dry fields have been plowed, and the paddy fields will probably be plowed tomorrow as well."

Xiaojie: "Brother, are you going to plant Lingshan rapeseed or Shengli rapeseed?"

Me: "What's the difference between the two?"

Xiaojie: "Lingshan rapeseed is the kind of black and small rapeseed we used to grow. Shengli rapeseed is a new variety. Someone planted it last year. Its rapeseed is golden yellow, larger than Lingshan rapeseed, and has a higher yield.

He also needs to be one or two hundred pounds taller."

Me: "That's good. Then we'll plant Victory rapeseed. But where are these seeds?"

Xiaojie: "They are sold in the shops on the street."

Brother Jun: "Brother, I've prepared some hot water for you. Wash your feet soon. Let's get some food."

I went to wash my face, hands, and feet. My feet were soaked in sweat and turned white.

By the time I finished cleaning up, Xiaojie and the others had already heated up the food. The three brothers ate the food and fed the pigs, then gathered around the stove to warm themselves up.

I said: "Everyone, go to bed early. I will dig the soil early tomorrow morning. You are after school in the afternoon, so come and help dig. Try to dig out the soil tomorrow. The day after tomorrow is the weekend. Let's plant it early. Try to get it dry."

The rapeseed in the field has been planted. Next week, I will slowly dig out the paddy field and plant some beans and peas. After the Chinese New Year, I will sell the beans and peas. I will still have some income."

After that, everyone went to sleep.

The next day, I got up early, heated up some food, scooped some more into the lunch box, brought a glass of water, picked up a lighter, picked up the hoe and went out.

Digging and digging, digging and digging. It was still very good. By noon, they had already dug half of what they dug yesterday. Following the example of Tie Zhu, they picked up some river firewood and found a few stones to support the square frame.

When the fire is up, put the lunch box on top, open the water cup and pour some water into the rice to make soup. Wait until the rice is hot and take it out to eat.

After having dinner and taking a rest, we went to the river to find a hidden bush for a while. We returned and continued digging.

Digging and digging, digging and digging. My hands got blisters. The blisters broke through the skin and it hurt. But there was no other way. I could only grit my teeth and keep digging.

Finally, I saw two younger brothers carrying hoes. As they joined, the fighting power quickly increased. However, the sky gradually darkened. There was still a bit of digging left. We had to dig first.

Put it away and dig it out tomorrow. Packed up the hoe and went back.

When we get to the street corner, we first send Xiaojie to buy the seeds of Shengli rapeseed.

We went back first, cooked the pig food, boiled some hot water and washed our feet. Then everyone ate the food, fed the pigs, and took a rest.

Then I prepared to mix the fertilizer. Suddenly I remembered that if I mixed the fertilizer now, it would have to ferment all night, fearing that the rapeseed would be burned out. I simply went to bed and got up early tomorrow to mix it.

The brothers were also tired. We boiled some hot water and burned our feet before going to bed.
Chapter completed!
