The days when I am farming in the last days

The place they are going to this day is called Huangjiabao.

The name is full of quack atmosphere.When Tang Han was a child, there were horses at home. Every time she came here, she and her sister would stand on the left and right in the basket on the horse’s back. Whenever it was there, in her fantasy world, a kind of "" Riding a horse and holding a sword to go to the end of the world" pride.

As if he was a lone swordsman.

So all the hard work became bearable.

This kind of fantasy, which is not humane, has accompanied Tang Han for a long time growing up.But now that he is an adult, the secret that could not be revealed at the beginning can be easily revealed.

Happily, Jiang Dai can also understand her, "The name Huangjiabao is not only full of quackery, but also must be the kind of Jedi outside the Great Wall, standing at a very important pass and becoming a barrier to guard the land behind. , One husband is in charge, and ten thousand husbands cannot open it."

"Yes, that's how it feels!" Tang Han nodded repeatedly, and then became embarrassed again, "Isn't it very naive?"

"Why do you say that?" Jiang Dai said, "Who didn't dream of becoming a hero to save the world when he was young?"

"Have you thought about this too?" Tang Han was surprised.

Jiang Dai was funny, "I'm just an ordinary person, what kind of filter did you add to me?"

As a human being, thought is always centered on "I".Therefore, it is normal to feel that you are the most unique one in the whole world in your youth when the Three Views have not yet formed.

Tang Han scratched his face in embarrassment, "It just feels like you are the kind of child who has been sensible and stable since childhood."

"That will disappoint you." Jiang Dai spread her hands, "I have never been worry-free since I was a child."

This statement is actually biased, because in the eyes of most people—teachers and parents, Jiang Dai may really be as Tang Han thought, a steady and sensible child who would never cause trouble to others, and The results are among the best, which is really reassuring.

But Jiang Dai's own evaluation of herself is not like that.

Just by listening to her tone, Tang Han could guess that there should be a story in it.But it's a pity that the relationship between them has not reached the level where they can ask each other's secrets without any scruples.

So she just sighed in her heart, and then changed the topic, "But in reality, this place is mediocre, which is a bit disappointing."

"I think it's dangerous to be condescending." Jiang Dai said pertinently.

The so-called "bao" in the local dialect refers to a prominent highland, that is, a small hill.The land of the Tang family is at the very top of this hill. From here, one can see the surrounding environment in all directions until the line of sight is blocked by another mountain.

Therefore, they could see many people working in the fields below the mountain from a distance.This is the season of spring plowing, the Tang family is hurrying up, and so are other families in the village.

In winter, Tang's father and Tang's mother vacated most of the land, pulled out the roots left by last year's crops, piled them together and burned them into plant ash, turned over the land that had condensed for a long time, and then Pick up the stones dug out of the ground...

However, the Huangjiabao land has not been turned over, because in the original plan, this land was not planned to be replanted.If there are people in the village who want to grow it, they will rent it out to them, and if they don't, they will simply abandon it.

Who knew that the epidemic would come so suddenly, and no one could tell what would happen in the future. Mama Tang felt that it was always right to have a variety of lands, so she picked them up again.

So what they have to do today is to dig up the roots and stones after plowing the ground.This land will be used to grow corn in the future, and it is estimated that some rice beans will be interplanted.

When they got to the field, Father Tang went to harness the cattle, while the others had to wait.

Tang Han called Jiang Dai to follow him, walked along the road for a while, and found a piece of green grass that had just emerged.

She stretched out her hand and pulled out a sharp piece of grass, and peeled off the light green and yellowish grass leaves, revealing the white velvet hidden in it.A soft one that looks like a caterpillar.Tang Hantuo showed Jiang Dai in the palm of his hand, "Here, you can eat."

"Really?" Jiang Dai's eyes were full of suspicion.

Tang Han withdrew his hand, put the flannel into his mouth, and chewed hard, "Sweet."

Jiang Dai was skeptical, so she peeled off one and stuffed it into her mouth.The taste is hard to describe. In fact, it is only a little sweet, and it is more of a weird feeling. You can clearly feel that you are eating grass, but the taste is not bad. It has a slight toughness, which is a bit like eating grass. chewing gum.

"Do you know what this is?" Tang Han pulled out another one and put it in his hand, asking Jiang Dai.

Jiang Dai shook her head.

Not without complacency, she said, "It is written in the "Book of Songs": 'Self-grass returns to catkins, beautiful and different.' When the teacher was explaining, he said that returning to catkins means white thatch. I think it is probably this thing?" Because it is sweet and can be eaten, it is worth cherishing and giving it to lovers.

Jiang Dai stared at this unremarkable piece of grass, lost in thought.

"I always thought it was referring to the tassels after the thatch grows in autumn." She said, peeling off another blade of grass, thinking, "But, the tassels, could it be that this thing grows? Is it done?"

If this is the case, then neither of them seems to be wrong in their understanding.

"Maybe it's thatch roots." Tang Han said, and started again, grabbing a handful of grass roots and pulling them up vigorously.The movement was so loud that the soil that had been caught by the roots fell down in a rustle, revealing the white grass roots hidden in it.

Tang Han grabbed one of the grass roots, peeled off the outer skin in twos and twos, revealing the white and tender inside, "This can also be eaten, and it is also sweet."

As he spoke, he chewed it a bit as a proof.

Jiang Dai understood that her criteria for judging seemed to be edible first, and then delicious (sweet).

It is very simple.Moreover, the poem "Jing Nu" is an article in "Bei Feng". "Wind" is a folk ballad. Wild fruits, vegetables and even weeds are of course very precious.

Its internal logic may be the same as Tang Han's.

She then peeled a grass root, tasted it, and couldn't help being a little surprised, "It's sweeter than I thought." Probably because it was buried in the soil, the grass root was unexpectedly sweet, already a little close to the sweetness of sugar.Ancient sugar contained a lot of impurities, so it was probably this sweet, right?

Jiang Dai was immediately persuaded, thinking that the grassroots might be the so-called "gui wei".

Think about it, organize these grass roots, select the parts that are better for sale, clean the soil, and then tie them neatly into small handfuls, even if you take them out to give away, you will not lose your reputation.

However, if you look at "hands like catkins", it should be closer to tassels with fluff.

Tang Han thought that she liked grass roots more, so he pulled out some more, shook off the soil, and handed them all to her.

Jiang Dai glanced at her, and silently reached out to take it.

For a moment, she really wanted to ask Tang Han: You have just read poetry, do you know what it means to give this thing away?

"Self-herding and returning to catkins, beautiful and different." The next sentence after that is, "The beauty of a bandit girl is the beauty of a beauty."

……

When they returned to the field, Qin Yu couldn't help asking, "What are you two doing over there? It took me a long time to come here."

He was wearing gloves and holding a scythe cutting the weeds and underbrush growing on the ridge.These things grow here, and when the branches and leaves are luxuriant, they will more or less cover the sunlight in the ground, so they must be cut down.

Jiang Dai didn't say much, and replied succinctly, "Grab."

Qin Yu looked at the weeds in front of him: "???"

Just as Dad Tang walked over holding the plow, the ox leading the plow walked up to Qin Yu, stretched out his head, and took away a big mouthful of weeds that had just grown.

Qin Yu: "..." I didn't expect you to compete with the cattle for rations.

Jiang Dai didn't know what she was thinking, even if she knew, she probably wouldn't care.She carefully put the "gift" she received into the basket next to her, and then she walked to Tang Han, and together with her, she removed the plowed roots from the ground, shook off the soil on them, and piled them together .

Once a small pile is collected, Tang Han will come over and light the fire, letting it burn slowly.The part buried in the ground has nodules, and it takes a long time to burn because it takes a lot of effort.

But generally speaking, this work is not too tiring, except that the legs will become numb after squatting for too long.And now I have plenty of time, so I can finish work and go home early every day.After all the land has been turned over, the cabbage in the simple greenhouse has almost grown and can be planted.

While Mother Tang took Tang Han and Jiang Dai to dig the soil to grow vegetables in the vegetable field, Father Tang took Qin Yu to plow the field.

After passing Yidong, a lot of water accumulated in the field.This season, the most painful part of Shimoda is to soak in muddy water all day, which is quite difficult.

Actually, Father Tang didn't intend to ask Qin Yu to go with him.During this period of time, Qin Yu learned how to plow the land with him, and he learned it well. He can already walk with the help of a plow in a decent manner, and he has no problem steering an ox.But in the field, it is difficult to control it.But Qin Yu was afraid that he would feel bored by himself, so he followed him.

Ozawa had no choice but to stay at home and went to the vegetable garden with Tang Ma and others.

The vegetable garden is too narrow, and most of them are still growing vegetables, so the fields cannot be plowed with oxen, so they can only be cultivated manually.

Tang Ma found out the heavy hoe, first let Tang Han and Jiang Dai try it out, and waited for them to stop to rest out of breath before taking over the hoe by herself.Those two people were exhausted, they couldn't breathe evenly, and they only opened a space of about one square meter. Tang's mother took it over, but she took care of the rest after three times, five divisions and two divisions.

After turning over the ground, it is necessary to form a ridge, and then dig out uniform pits on it. After that, the cabbage is planted in the pits, which looks neat and is more convenient for fertilization.

This day happened to be cloudy and there was no sun, so Tang Ma hurriedly planted all the vegetables, and when it got dark in the afternoon, she carried buckets over and watered all the cabbages one by one.
