Take a system to the countryside

Chapter 15 Growing Vegetables!

Soon, the family of three went out with their burdens. Considering that Su Can was carrying water for the first time, Can's mother specially found a smaller bucket for him.

Sure enough, as Dad Can said, on the way to the well, I saw many villagers, and everyone lined up to carry water with buckets.

"This damn weather, if it doesn't rain, we're going to starve to death." Uncle Li looked at the cracked field and said worriedly.

"Who says it's not? Recently, I've been checking the weather forecast every day. It said that there will be heavy rain in a few days. I don't know if it's true." Someone answered with a smile.

"What a fart! The above may not be accurate. The last time I went to my house to do business, it said that there would be heavy rain. I hurriedly bought waterproof plastic, but the sun was shining the next day, and the temperature exceeded [-] degrees." The uncle spit out phlegm with a snap, and his face was very ugly.

After queuing for half an hour, it was Su Can's family's turn.

The place where the water is drawn is a well, about two feet in size, the bottom is invisible, and the walls are smooth and straight so that no grass grows, and there is no place for a pump.Now the water surface is much lower than the ground, and obviously it cannot flow out normally.

"Yaoer, go slowly, we will pick you up later." Can's mother was worried that Su Can would not be able to choose, so she asked him to walk slowly.

"It's okay." Su Can's face was neither red nor ears, and a hundred-pound load seemed like a game to him, and he could kick a two-hundred-pound fat man away in the morning, let alone now.

It didn't take long for Su Can to leave the old man behind. After arriving in the field, he put the water away first, and then ran back to pick up Can's mother.

"My family's Canzi is so good." Sitting on the ridge of the field, Can's mother praised Su Can while panting.

"Show off, I'll see if your shoulders can bear it tonight." Can's father scolded with a dark face.

Carrying water is tricky. Experienced farmers will make good use of the poles and find the most suitable support point on the shoulders, so that the weight of the water can be evenly distributed on the shoulder muscles. Even the rhythm of walking is also very particular.

If Su Can is so reckless with his strength, the muscles in his shoulders are easily strained, so he can't last long.

Su Can chuckled, not daring to talk back to Can's father. He was afraid of Can's father since he was a child, but when he saw the situation in his own field, he frowned tightly.

The surface of the field was turned over by Can's father with a plowshare, but the soil turned up was extremely dry, without a drop of water. It would take a lot of work to flood the field with water.

It is estimated that the problem cannot be solved without thousands of tans of water!

The village has been talking about building water canals, and the money allocated by the town has already arrived in the account, but the village head, Guo Tieniu, that bastard, just shouts slogans all day long. It will not be put into use until the Year of the Monkey.

I only hope that Yu Jiaqi can improve the situation when she arrives, but it is probably too bad. Guo Tieniu has been the village head for more than ten years, and the village committee team members are all relatives of him. It is not so easy to get the right to speak.

"Let's go!" After resting for 2 minutes, Can's father urged him to get up again and continued to carry water.

One load after another, at first Su Can ran very fast, feeling nothing, but gradually, his feet felt heavy like lead, and his shoulders were burning hot pain, when he unbuttoned his clothes, it was red and swollen.

On the other hand, Dad Can is much calmer, his breath is even and stable, and the ginger is still old and spicy!

"No way, there are five paddy fields in the house, and the first one will be flooded tomorrow. When will it be?" Su Can really didn't want to choose, it was too tiring, and the annual output of rice was too much. Not too high, too cheap.

"Yaoer, come and eat cucumbers." Can's mother picked cucumbers from her own vegetable patch and asked Su Can to eat them.

When Su Can heard that there were cucumbers to eat, she gulped down her saliva, ran over to pick one up and stuffed it into her mouth. She was born as a farmer, so she was not as delicate as a child in the city, and she had to peel every apple.Rural people pay attention to cleanliness, and they will not get sick if they eat it.

"Mom, this is delicious, even better than the ones sold in the city." Su Can chewed her mouth full of saliva. The freshly picked cucumbers are the freshest, not only crisp and delicious, but also very sweet and juicy.

Unlike the ones sold in the vegetable market in the city, the cucumbers at home are filled with farmyard manure, completely green vegetables.

Yes, vegetables!
Su Can chewed and chewed, his eyes brightened. Paddy fields need a lot of water, but growing vegetables is different. There is no need to take so much water. What's more important is that he has Yuling Pond, which can speed up the growth of plants. Lingtan!
"Mom, let's not grow rice, but vegetables!" Su Can said to Can's father and mother.

"Nonsense, if you don't grow good rice, what kind of vegetables do you grow?" Can's father immediately objected. He has grown rice all his life and thinks that growing rice is the most interesting.

"Yao'er, growing vegetables is not worth the money." Can's mother also disagreed with Su Can's idea. Someone in the village used to grow vegetables, but they couldn't afford to sell them in the town.People either think it doesn't look good, or they don't buy it because they think it's too expensive.

"Mom and Dad, look at the severe drought. There is only one well in the village, and there are so many people who grow rice, queuing up to get water every day. If the three of us are responsible for watering the fields, how long will it take?" Su Can Go on.

"Besides, the best time for transplanting rice seedlings is only a few days. If you miss it, the harvest will be greatly reduced. But it is different when growing vegetables. To tell you the truth, I have a classmate who works in the Academy of Agricultural Sciences. Their professor Recently, new vegetable varieties have been researched, which are not only delicious, but also have a short growing time."

In order to persuade Can's parents to grow vegetables, Su Can lied that he had a classmate from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences.

"Really?" Can's mother was taken aback, Hu asked.

Can's father paused for a while while smoking, and looked at Su Can.

"Really, that classmate of mine took the seeds and planted them at home, and then transported them to big cities to sell, and people rushed to buy them. The cabbage alone costs two or three yuan a catty." Pray that the role of Yulingtan is really as good as the system says.

"My God, Chinese cabbage can be sold for two or three yuan a catty?" Can's mother whispered, Chinese cabbage is not worth much in the town, no one buys it for two or three cents a catty, but now it can be sold for two or three yuan, Still rushing to buy it, it's incredible.

"I'm afraid it's a lie!" Hearing what Su Can said, Can's father was a little loose.

"I'm absolutely not lying. I just went to visit with my classmates last year, and many people asked for their contact information." Seeing that the two elders were tempted, Su Can put in more effort.

"Well... how about we plant for a season first? Didn't the family just get 20 yuan, and the impact of not planting rice for one season is not too big." Can's mother agreed with Su Can's idea and helped persuade Can's father.

"You just mess around with him!" Can's father took a puff of his cigarette, nodded after a while, "Let me make it clear first, I only give you one season of rice. If it doesn't work, you will still grow rice next year. Think about those that are there or not.”

"Okay, okay!" Seeing that Can's father agreed, Su Can was overjoyed, and could finally let go of his hands and feet, "Then I will call my classmates later and go to the city tomorrow to get the seeds."

"Well, remember to bring some gifts for them, and don't go empty-handed." Can's father educated, this is the principle of life, ask for help, don't come in rudely!
Su Can nodded. Can's father sometimes speaks very irritatingly, but he understands the truth of it. There is no parent in the world who does not want their children to become dragons and phoenixes.

Decided not to grow rice, and the burden on the family's shoulders was much lighter. Sitting on the ridge of the field and talking, Can's mother asked when she would hold her grandson. Can's father said that Yu Jiaqi was a good girl and wanted to catch her...
