After the Earthquake of Rebirth

Chapter 66 Spring Plowing (1)

If you have never planted land, you will never experience the "bitterness" of "every grain is hard work".

From dawn to dusk, he bent over to hoe the ground. If he accidentally hoeed a stone under the soil, his entire arms would be numb.

It’s only April, and the temperature is just around seven or eight degrees when we go out in the morning. It took less than half an hour to pick up the hoes, and everyone had to take off their coats, and they were only wearing short sleeves, and they were so tired that they were all over their heads. sweat.

At noon, Ning Qiyan and Dong Wen'an went back to the cave to cook ahead of time, their arms were so sore that they couldn't even lift the pot.

In order to save time, Ning Qiyan and Dong Wen'an will make this lunch together, and then the three families will eat together in Ning Qiyan's yard.

In the beginning, Ning Qiyan and Ning Xiaowen were in charge of cooking, but among them, Hu Zi, Ning Xiaowen and the oldest and taciturn Zhang Pingguo were the most familiar with farm work.Later, Ning Xiaowen wanted to replace Qu Dong. After all, Bai Chengyi's family usually cooks Qu Dong's meals. Regardless of whether it is good or not, compared to other people, at least they can cook well.Let him accompany Ning Qiyan without delaying the progress in the field.But after a few days, Dong Wen'an was finally replaced.

The reason is very simple, another physical slag who is not the same as Ning Qiyan.

As for the three of Wang Yang and the others, although their lives in the field are still stumbling, they would rather be exhausted in the field than be surrounded by the stove and be ridiculed endlessly by Ning Qiyan.

For cooking idiots who want to weigh the amount of oil and salt every time they cook, farm work is much easier than cooking.

For Wang Yang's statement, Hu Zi could only "hehe".

Dong Wen'an didn't know anything about cooking at the beginning, but he would play tricks if he couldn't stand it.

Poor water control?Don't know how much seasoning to put in cooking?

It doesn't matter!

He can copy it.I saw what Ning Qiyan did once, and when he got started, he followed Ning Qiyan's demonstration completely.The same amount of rice, the same amount of water, even the size and time of the flame are exactly the same, not to mention whether the taste will be the same, but it is definitely not unpalatable.

There are a lot of bean sprouts today, do you want to order more?no problem!Still with the same amount of dishes, copy the seasoning that Ning Qiyan added, and he will make another pot after making one pot!

After several days in a row, Ning Qiyan watched Dong Wen'an cook, and he seemed to understand how Ning Xiaowen and the others felt when he marked the little piggy.

Simply speechless.

He still can't say that Dong Wen'an's cooking is not good, because the taste is almost the same as that of Ning Qiyan's.

But I can't say that he did a good job... Who has seen cooking like this? !

In the end, Ning Qiyan simply out of sight and out of mind, let's look down at his pot!

In a hurry, a group of big men spent nearly ten days turning over all the land, waiting for the government to distribute the seeds and seedlings two days later.

Since most of the citizens have no experience at all, when they are farming for the first time, this batch of seeds and seedlings are arranged by the old farmers for unified processing by the government. The crops that need to be raised in advance, germinated, etc. can be planted directly in the field when they are sent to everyone. inside.

After this crop is harvested, it is up to you to plant the next crop.

The government notified that grain seeds would be distributed on April 4. On the morning of the 13th, Ning Qiyan's family of four simply cleaned up and locked the door.

Passing by Wang Yang's house and Bai Chengyi's house, they knocked on the door and called them, and the three families walked down the mountain together.

Along the way, I met many people who also descended the mountain.

Today and tomorrow, everyone can go to the designated place at the foot of the mountain to listen to agricultural experts for free to adjust the requirements for planting crops according to the current climate environment, and some old farmers will guide you when and how to do crops during the growing period .

In fact, there was such guidance in the previous life, but at that time, Ning Qiyan and Du Cheng only heard about the cultivation of rice and wheat, and never considered corn and sweet potatoes, which almost no one thought of as a staple food every day.

It cannot be said that the guidance arranged by the government was wrong. I am afraid that no one could have predicted that these delicate crops would eventually fail.

Wait until a year later to confirm that most of the existing seeds cannot adapt to today's climate, and only a few types of crops can grow smoothly in this extreme climate.At that time, because of the severe famine for more than half a year, the surviving people were no longer willing to believe the guidance arranged by the government again, and they could not believe these guidance.

It takes so much effort to water the field every day with the sun-peeled body for several months, but there is still no harvest. Why not take the opportunity to venture into the mountains, where you can’t hunt prey, and dig more wild vegetables, which can be preserved after drying. eat in winter.

If the government and the army hadn't joined forces to force the citizens to farm, if they refused, their ID cards would have been confiscated and they would have been driven out of Cangyun Mountain. Most of the people would never have farmed again.There are even soldiers who patrol the fields every day, and if they are found to be lazy and slippery, those who have dealt with the matter will be driven away.This barely lasted until the second autumn harvest.

Fortunately, the higher-ups were ruthless and forced everyone to farm like prisoners. Otherwise, everyone would never have guessed that they had chosen the right crops, and the failure of the harvest would not happen again.

Although it is impossible to fill everyone's stomachs with the final harvest, at least no one will starve to death.

Seeing the real harvest of grain, everyone rekindled hope, swept away the despair and numbness before, carefully selected the best grain seeds, and waited until the spring of the next year to devote themselves to the great cause of farming with full firepower among.

It's a pity that Du Cheng didn't survive that cruel famine period...

Du Cheng lowered his head and looked at Ning Qiyan who suddenly leaned over and held his hand tightly.

"what happened?"

Ning Qiyan put away his heavy heart because of the memories, and raised a smiling face.

"fine."

Du Cheng smiled, tightened his five fingers, and held back the not soft, but extraordinarily slender hand.

Wang Yang, who was walking behind Du Cheng and Ning Qiyan, looked at the two in front who suddenly started emitting pink bubbles, let out a strange cry, and covered his face with one hand.

"Ouch! I'm blind!"

Dong Wen'an was not far away. Hearing Wang Yang's strange cry, he looked over and smiled helplessly.

They were originally a couple, but they just held hands, and Wang Yang was too rare and strange.

At this time Ning Qiyan turned his head and glanced at Wang Yang.

"What's it called, do you have an opinion?"

Wang Yang nodded while covering his eyes halfway: "I have an opinion! Please keep a distance in front of me and other single dogs, the watch strap will break us! We are still pure teenagers~"

Ning Qiyan: "..."

Maybe it was because the previous memories were too heavy, and he wanted to change his mood, Ning Qiyan played with his heart, twitched the corner of his mouth, showing a smirk, and pulled Du Cheng towards him with force.

Ning Qiyan gnawed on Du Cheng's mouth in full view.

Wang Yang: "..."

Bai Chengyi's family: "..."

A nearby passerby on the way: "..."

Just now Dong Wen'an thought that Wang Yang was rare and weird, and silently looked away. As a member of the single dog, he refused to be fed dog food.

Du Cheng calmly rubbed his painfully bitten lips with his beard winking.

Looking sideways at Ning Qiyan and Wang Yang who had recovered, he smiled at each other.

Before, I didn't know what Ning Qiyan was thinking when he was walking. He felt that he was very depressed. There were so many people talking, he couldn't ask, and for some reason, Du Cheng instinctively felt that even if he asked, Ning Qiyan would not see him. Gotta be honest.

But now it's better, Ning Qiyan adjusted himself and smiled again, and Du Cheng felt relieved.

A group of people talked and laughed and walked down the mountain. When they reached the foot of the mountain, there were several signposts on the side of the road, all of which were places where they could listen to guidance.

We summed it up and decided to go to a parking lot that is relatively far away.

Although there are two days of guidance, judging from the situation along the way, most people choose to go down the mountain today.If you didn’t understand it today, you can listen to it again tomorrow, or if there is a difference between the grain you picked up in the field and the grain you’re about to plant, there’s still one more day to fix it.

Therefore, the guidance location at the foot of the mountain is already overcrowded, and the farthest parking lot may have fewer people.

But there is nothing less.

Walking to the parking lot, the temporary platform was in the middle of the parking lot. There was still more than an hour before the guidance started at [-]:[-], and the parking lot was already full of people going down the mountain.Ning Qiyan and a group of ten or so people had to spread out even if they squeezed in. It's better to find a relatively empty place in the distance and sit down together.

Those who want to be in charge of this guidance cannot fail to consider that there will be so many people coming, and when the time comes, they will take a loudspeaker, and they will not be afraid of hearing from a long distance.

Wang Yang has sharp eyes, looked around, then stared at a car viewing booth built behind the parking lot, and squeezed through first. Ning Qiyan and the others were still looking for a suitable place, and in a blink of an eye they watched Wang Yang squeeze into the crowd, and quickly followed.

The car booth has doors and windows, and Wang Yang doesn't have such a big face to squeeze into such a room less than ten square meters with the soldiers watching the car.

When Ning Qiyan was pushed out by Du Cheng, he happened to see Wang Yang coming out of the pavilion with a big smile on his face.

Seeing that there was not even a place to step down nearby, Ning Qiyan looked at Wang Yang helplessly: "What are you doing here? We can't even sit down here with so many people."

Wang Yang smiled slyly and pointed.

Ning Qiyan's eyes widened, he was stunned for a moment, and then said: "The roof?"

Wang Yang smiled and nodded, "I went in and told people, and the person who watched the car said yes, this house is solid, we can go up there without any problem!" After speaking, he pulled Ke Chengwei and Wang Zhixiang, and leaned on their shoulders neatly Climb up to the roof.

Hearing that Wang Yang had finished greeting the people watching the car, Bai Chengyi shrugged, and pulled Zhang Wei to Ke Chengwei's side, letting him and Wang Zhixiang step on his and Zhang Wei's shoulders.

As far as Ke Chengwei and the others are small, Bai Chengyi really has no confidence that they can withstand him or the fatter Zhang Wei.

The roof is not high, so they are not afraid of being injured if they step on it if they are not stable and fall down, but don't let others step on it.

Seeing that even Ning Xiaowen and Huzi had gone up, Ning Qiyan twitched the corners of his mouth, so he had to bite the bullet and was helped by Du Cheng to climb up Zhang Wei's shoulders under the watchful eyes of everyone, and then was dragged up by Huzi.

Although Ning Qiyan was uncomfortable due to the sight of the surroundings, let alone, the pavilion didn't look very big, and it was quite roomy for twelve of them to sit on the roof.Moreover, it is more than two meters above the ground and has a wide field of vision.

Ning Qiyan walked to Ning Xiaowen's side, took out the plastic bag in his pocket, spread it on the floor, and sat down.

After Huzi and Du Cheng pulled Bai Chengyi and Zhang Wei up to the roof, someone with a tall beard sat on the outside to block the view below, and Ning Qiyan felt more at ease.
