The days when I am farming in the last days

Although Tang Han said long ago, the village is very busy all year round.But after all the crops were planted, Jiang Dai still couldn't help but feel that she should be able to rest for a while, right?

Seeing the hot weather, sweating after a while in the sun, how uncomfortable is it to be busy?

However, the reality told her that she was thinking too much.

The crops in the field have indeed been planted, but now the cultivation of the land pays attention to intensive cultivation, and it is no longer the time for the primitive society to scatter the seeds and let them grow as they please.

So, next, they have to weed and fertilize all the fields, so that the crops in the fields can absorb enough nutrients, grow vigorously, and finally bear abundant fruits.

According to Tang Han, in fact, it's all good.

The Tang family had grown winter wheat and rapeseed for a while before. These two things were to be harvested before the rainy season, and then replanted for the second crop.Now we only grow corn and potatoes, which is much easier.

——Actually, Mama Tang regrets not planting some wheat and rapeseed in winter.The epidemic is so serious this year, and I don't know when these materials will be available.But if you grow it yourself, you can grind the flour and squeeze the oil yourself, so you don't have to worry about running out of food.

In summer, it dawned early, and they got up early, too, at five o'clock. After breakfast, Tang's mother gave out a set of weeding tools: a sun hat and a shovel.Even Ozawa has a small pocket hoe, but I don't expect him to help, the main thing is to find something for him to play with.

Then everyone lined up and went out together.

Weeding is also very important. Potatoes need to be ridged at this time so that new potatoes have a place to grow.Corn needs to shovel out the surrounding weeds and let the roots dry.So these two kinds of planting together are just right.Shovel off the soil and weeds around the corn, just right at the roots of the potatoes.

After removing the grass, we need to add a fertilizer to the corn.Fertilization is also particular about fertilization. It should be about two or three centimeters away from the corn. If it is too close, it will be too fertile, and it will easily burn the roots of the corn. If it is too far, the corn will not be able to absorb the fertilizer, which will make weeds cheaper.

Although Tang's father had already plowed the field once with the ox, and only needed to pat the turned up soil away instead of digging the ground himself, weeding was still a very difficult job.After all, this kind of labor lasts without a break from morning to night, and it can be seen by the naked eye that it may last for ten days until all the land of the Tang family is finished.

And the weather is also an issue.It's inconvenient when it rains

, but the sun is also very tormenting.

Since Jiang Dai came here, she has recited "The Day of Hoe Harvest" several times, and now she has truly experienced it.At the end of the day, the whole person was dizzy and didn't want to eat dinner.

Tang's mother had already prepared, instead of preparing big fish and meat to replenish her body, she cooked a pot of sauerkraut, beans and rice.This is a vegetarian dish, and there is a lot of soup, which is very good for a meal. Even if you don't have an appetite, you can still drink a bowl of soup.

After eating, Jiang Dai wanted to wash up and then go to bed.

Pulled by Tang Han, "Do you want to go out for a stroll?"

"Where are you going?" Jiang Dai asked.

The power poles in the village have not been repaired, and of course there will be no electricity.Candles are a scarce resource, so now they all go home before dark, have dinner, wash up, and go to bed early.It is quite in line with the standard of small peasant economy "work at sunrise and rest at sunset".

As for nightlife, there is absolutely no such thing.

"Go to the pond." Tang Han said, "There is water vapor over there, and the wind is cool."

"Is there any pond in the village?" Qin Yu asked curiously when he heard it from the side.

Tang Han explained, "There is still a distance from the village. It is a fish pond opened for fish farming. It has been established for a long time. Usually, few people go there, so you probably haven't seen it. But there are more people going there in summer. It's also very lively."

It used to be lively, but now there is no electricity, and you can't watch TV for entertainment, so more people will go there.

Qin Yu was stunned, "No wonder your village is called Tangbian. I've always wondered where the pond came from. Is that where the fish we ate came from?"

"Yes, there are people contracting fish farming now." Tang Han said, "When it's not so busy, we can still pay a little money and go fishing by the pond. But I don't know if my dad's fishing rod can still be used. Before I bought it for him, but I don’t know where to put it.”

"No, just keep it in the stairwell. It shouldn't be broken. If you want to use it, go find it." Father Tang heard it from a distance, and raised his voice.

"Then go and have a look?" Although very tired, everyone is very interested in hearing that there are new things, and Ozawa is even more happy as long as he can go out.

So a group of people walked there in the dark. ——It’s not accurate to say that it’s dark, there are stars and moons in the sky, but you can barely see the road, and the roads have been repaired now, and they are smooth concrete roads, so you don’t have to worry about accidentally stepping on strange things.

After walking for about ten minutes, I heard loud voices from a distance.The road was quiet and quiet, as if the whole village had gathered here.

The night wind is coming,

It does have cool water vapor.

When he got closer, he saw the flames.A huge banyan tree was planted beside the fish pond, and people built a huge bonfire under the tree. Everyone sat around the bonfire and chatted with people they knew.

If Tang Han hadn't mentioned this scene in advance, Jiang Dai would almost have thought that she had encountered some kind of mandrill ghost party.

Just... there is a feeling of being out of tune with this village, but when I think about it carefully, I feel that there seems to be nothing out of tune.

There were even people who brought wine and drank it while chatting. When they got drunk, they sang an outrageous country tune to entertain everyone, and it didn't matter whether they were ashamed or not.

Tang Han and his party found a place to sit on the outskirts. They didn't deliberately participate in the topic, but they just sat quietly, looked at the stars, and listened to the voices of people. Quite a lot.

However, none of them could integrate into the atmosphere and topics here, and they didn't stay for long.

"Let's go fishing when we are free during the day," Qin Yu said.

Back home, Tang Han and Jiang Dai massaged each other's sore spots so that they wouldn't be able to wield a hoe tomorrow.

After pressing it, I felt a lot more relaxed, and fell asleep not long after.Jiang Dai originally suffered from a little neurasthenia, her sleep was always shallow, and she was easily awakened. After arriving here, she was cured quickly, and now she sleeps as soon as she touches the pillow, not to mention how sweet it is.

After a night without dreams, I woke up the next day and continued to be busy.

The first few days were hard, but once I got used to the intensity, I slowly got used to it and paid attention to the scenery on the mountain, the wild vegetables on the roadside, and the wild fruits in the forest...

They were busy in the field that day, when a hailstorm suddenly fell from the sky, which startled everyone and hurried into the woods.

"Why did the hailstorm suddenly fall?" Jiang Dai looked blank, apparently she hadn't seen this kind of development yet.

"Occasionally there will be such abnormal weather." Tang Han said, "This kind of weather won't last long, and it will be fine after a while."

Her prediction was not wrong, as expected, the hail only fell for a short while, and then...it turned into rain.The rain won't stop for a while, and even if they hide in the woods, they won't be able to stop their fate of getting wet. Seeing this, Tang's mother told them to go home and rest, and come back tomorrow.

The inexperienced Jiang Dai and Qin Yu were very happy at first. After all, it was raining and they could finally steal half a day of leisure.

Moreover, the weather after the rain will not be as hot and difficult as when the sun is out.

But the next day, they regretted it.

The soil soaked by the rain is sticky together, and it takes extra effort to hoe the ground.Moreover, the mud will stick to the head, and you have to work hard to get it off.After getting off in the morning, the efficiency of hoeing was greatly reduced, and not much was done at all.

But God is playing with you like this, what can you do?

Fortunately, I don't know if it rained too much a while ago, and it has been sunny since then, so I don't have to be troubled by the weather anymore, and the efficiency of hoeing has improved again.

This busy work lasted more than ten days before I finally finished hoeing all the land and could take a rest.

It wasn't until Tang's mother said that it was the Dragon Boat Festival in a few days, and it was time to make zongzi, that Jiang Dai came to her senses and realized that half of the year had passed like this, and she didn't feel much about it.

Tang Han was assigned a job by Tang's mother to pick the bamboo leaves for making rice dumplings.

The bamboo was planted under the vegetable garden, and it was sent from Uncle Tang Han's house, and it grew into a large lush area.This kind of bamboo is also called Thunder Bamboo here, Tang Han and the others would use this kind of bamboo to make "guns" when they were young.

It is said to be a gun, but in fact it is to cut a section of bamboo, and then use bamboo branches to make a liner that can be stuffed into it.Then pick a plant seed the size of a pea to use as a bullet, plug one at one end of the bamboo tube to block the gap, then stuff another at the other end, hold it down with the inner pot, push it forward hard, and push the front one A "bullet" is shot out.At the same time, because there is a section of airtight air, it will make a "pop" sound when it is pushed out.

Anyway, most of the things that rural children play are adapted to local conditions.

Hearing what Tang Han said, Qin Yu immediately became interested. He got a hatchet and looked at a piece of bamboo, planning to go back and make one for his son to play with.

"Don't worry about that first, pick the zongzi leaves first." Seeing that the topic was gradually turning, Tang Han said hastily.

Pick the leaves that have just grown this year and are of a moderate size, boil them in water, wash them and then use them to make zongzi.

However, after picking a few leaves, Jiang Dai asked suddenly, "Isn't there no glutinous rice at home? Then how to make zongzi?" Although over the years, the stuffing of zongzi has been refurbished, and it is more and more wonderful every year, but in general It is still inseparable from glutinous rice as the basis, otherwise it is not a zongzi.

Tang Han didn't care about this problem, "My mother has a way, I guess I will go to someone else's house to get some, there are people in the village who grow glutinous rice, just peel off the shell."

The only problem is that there is no electricity, and the husking machine cannot work, so the rice has to be manually pounded.So Mama Tang didn't think about doing this before, but isn't this a holiday?The festival can't be unsightly, and it's okay to spend a little effort.

Jiang Dai is completely convinced, there really is everything in this village...
