In my days as a farmer

Qian Dazhuang arrived nearly two hours later than the scheduled time, but when he arrived, he looked too embarrassed, and no one could bear to blame him.

Xia Dongli also handed him a wet towel and asked him to wipe off the dirt on his body first.Qian Dazhuang waved his hand, "I'll send it to you first. It's been a while since I dug it out. I tried to bring the original soil, but there is no soil ball. You should plant it quickly, don't delay it."

It was agreed before without the soil ball, they are close to each other, and the time to remove the soil ball with the soil ball has been transported, so Lao Qian just watered the tree enough water before shoveling, and then the original root with soil It was dug out.

This was no problem at all, the original scheduled delivery time was [-]:[-] in the morning, and Lao Qian had to dig in the middle of the night to catch up with the delivery time, when the plants were still sleeping.

If the speed is fast after the delivery, you can go to the ground when the sun is not big, and then pour a wave of water and then shade for a period of time. If the time is well controlled, it can just match the life rhythm of the plants, which can effectively reduce soil and water acclimatization. situation occurs.

But after all, people are not as good as God.

In summer, the sun is already very high at 8 or 9 o'clock. Even if the seedlings are covered with shade cloth, they will not be able to prevent them from being awakened. Every minute of delay after that is an additional consumption.

The few people had no time to greet, Xia Dongli quickly got into the passenger seat and showed the driver the way, while Qian Dazhuang took the time to roughly wipe his face with a towel.After arriving at the place, several people worked together to unload the saplings on the small tricycle, and then handed over the relay work to Chen Li.

"I'll dig a few more for you and give them to you." The man carried a few saplings and put them on the ground. He followed the tightly packed young men to remove the saplings, and added with a silly smile, "In case you are not used to something, you can fill it in."

Xia Dongli was scooping mung bean soup from the thermos bucket placed on the small tricycle, when he heard this, he handed the bowl to Qian Dazhuang in surprise: "Thank you so much! Master Qian, drink some to relieve the heat."

"Hey, I can't say thank you, but I thank you." Qian Dazhuang also came to Xiaotupo for the first time. While drinking mung bean soup casually, he looked at the earth pits dug in advance on the ground, and then Unable to hide his surprise, he turned his head to look at Xia Dongli: "You are so scattered?"

"I will plant some peppers in the middle. The slope here is small, and the days are better when we are separated." Xia Dongli saw that he had dried up the mung bean soup in one go, and asked, "Do you want to add more?"

"No, no, no, no, I'm getting old, I can't drink too much ice." The man shook his head again and again, he looked around, but couldn't find the water source, so he could only hand the dirty bowl to Xia Dongli, "Did you connect the drain?"

"Yes." Seeing that he was curious, Xia Dongli took him into a few small wooden boxes hidden among the flowers, opened it, and there was a water outlet inside, and the water in it flowed out with a splash.

"The water pressure is quite strong!" Qian Dazhuang took a little water and sniffed it, then took the bowl over and flushed it, and then put it back on the small three-wheeler. He looked at him in surprise: "It doesn't smell like bleach, isn't this tap water? ? Why so much water pressure?"

"A pressurizer is installed underground." Xia Dongli pointed to the ground, "I installed a small reservoir, diverted a mountain spring, and then pressed it into the pipeline."

Qian Dazhuang "hissed" when he heard the words, and couldn't help blurting out: "How much does this cost..."

"Not much." Xia Dongli didn't hide it, he stretched out his hand and gestured to others, "If you don't count labor costs, this is the amount. In fact, a few booster pumps are more valuable, water pumps and booster pumps It’s all solar energy, so there’s no need for electricity.”

The Northeast is actually not rich in light energy resources. It is far away from the Tropic of Cancer and the solar altitude angle is small. However, the days here are long and the nights are short in summer, and the sunshine time can also make up for the loss of the altitude angle. It is more than enough to provide irrigation power.

What?Winter and spring are short and there is no light?That doesn't matter, he doesn't need to pump water for irrigation in winter, and he can use electricity if necessary, and there is an electric circuit next to the water pipe.

However, Xia Dongli has studied wind energy for a while, and the wind energy resources in the northeast region are quite rich.

Although Xiaotupo is in the south of the mountain, there is an area here. I don’t know whether it is the reflection point of the wind blowing to Baiyun Mountain or a gap in Baiyun Mountain caused by the cross wind. Anyway, the wind strength can be clearly felt when we arrive here.

Strong wind is an unstable factor, and it is more difficult to grow plants here, so Xia Dongli had planned to install a wind turbine here before.

However, this idea was temporarily shelved due to his tight pockets. Although the country has supported policies for civil wind turbines in recent years, a wind turbine costs tens of thousands. He currently does not consume too much electricity. It will take ten years to pay back the cost of a generator, and his contracting time is only ten years, so this plan was shelved.

Since Qian Dazhuang was very interested in the solar power generation and a series of devices Xia Dongli was talking about, Xia Dongli took him to the edge of the reservoir.As soon as he arrived at the place, before he had time to introduce him to anyone, he saw Qian Dazhuang stretched out his big rough hand and began to rub it on his body, and then took out a steel coin under Comrade Xiao Xia's shocked eyes.

After being stopped, he looked inexplicable: "What? Are you not a Buddhist pagoda?"

"No!" Xia Dongli intentionally or unintentionally showed the small sign he hung on the composting machine, on which the three characters "composting machine" were clearly written.

Qian Dazhuang pointed to the stairs: "Isn't that the guest way?"

"No...that's an ordinary staircase up to put raw materials... how does it look like a guest way?!"

Qian Dazhuang didn't speak, but pointed again.

In order to facilitate maintenance, solar panels are placed on the stairway up and down the golden composter in their home.At that time, his idea was that the cost of fixed brackets could be saved, and the solar panels could also help keep people up and down from the rain, and also reduce the impact of direct sunlight on the composter, preventing its temperature from being too high. Three purposes.

But this design falls into the eyes of others, especially those who look up from the bottom, oh well, it is a canopy for tourists to keep out the rain.

Xia Dongli was speechless: "No, this is a composter."

"The compost machine is fine, we farmers, fertilizer is our foundation." Qian Dazhuang patted Xia Dongli, then rubbed the steel iron, held it in his palm and leaned on his forehead, muttering, "Little brother, you don't know me How unlucky, I also met a herd of wild boars on the way here today, where the sows were chasing the boars to fight, and the piglets were interceding. I watched a pig version of "Country Love Story" early in the morning "."

"I used to sympathize with the little brother who was abused early in the morning, but the pig got angry and didn't let it go, so he bumped into the wheel of my car. When I returned the car, I had to pay for it. You said What does it matter to me if two pigs quarrel?!"

"Thinking about it, I have been unlucky for several years! Hey, this is not superstition, it's called metaphysics!" The man rubbed the coin again, blew on it, and looked at a decorative dragon on the composter with burning eyes , obviously aiming at the bowed belly of the dragon: "Please Buddha bless me to be extremely peaceful!"

Xia Dongli held back, but couldn't hold back, and said: "There is no Buddha engraved on it, you might as well ask the Dragon King to bless you."

"It's okay, you are Long Nilin, so please ask the Dragon King, who is in good health and everything goes well, and the husband and wife are harmonious, to bless me if I can come here! If I can change my luck, I will send a pig to the Dragon King next year!" Qian Dazhuang was very talkative, and immediately changed the object of the petition. This attitude of "trust whoever is useful" is also very characteristic of Huaguo.

Xia Dongli just wanted to complain about what you were trying to do by sending a pig to the composter. How long does it take for a pig to be used as fertilizer before it becomes decomposed?

And what's up with your gibberish greetings?The smell of rainbow fart must be too strong, but before he could say anything, he watched the coin turn out a silver light in the air, then passed through the arched belly of the dragon steadily, and fell on the side of the composter. back.

Xia Dongli: ...OO

Qian Dazhuang: ... 0△0

"You, do you feel it? There was a gust of wind just now—" Qian Dazhuang held Xia Dongli's hand excitedly, "I felt that my coin was crooked, and then it was straightened when the wind blew ! Then it just churned through!"

"That's it, just your illusion! I don't seem to feel anything!" Xia Dongli swallowed, refusing to admit that he also felt a breeze just now, and supported the coin.

This is a composter and not a Buddhist pagoda. How can such a strange thing come from.

"How come you don't feel it? Xiao Xia, you can't be so dull at such a young age." Qian Dazhuang patted Xia Dongli's shoulder, then covered his mouth and thought for a while, and suddenly murmured: "It's possible that you don't feel it." , Maybe this is the instruction given to me by the Dragon Lord, if I say that I will be able to go smoothly, or should I find a way to persevere?"

This is the Dragon Lord!Is it too fast?And it's too childish to decide to persist because of this, and isn't it said that you want to raise money for your daughter's education?

Xia Dongli was speechless. Just as he wanted to persuade Lao Qian to calm down, someone grabbed his hand: "Xiao Xia, look, your place is empty, why don't you buy some fruit trees?"

... just knew it would be like this.He sighed: "No, old money, the orchards are just for decoration. I mainly go there to increase varieties, not to make money entirely by planting them."

He withdrew his hand: "I think you should think about this matter carefully, and discuss it with your family members. To be honest, this year is not going to be a good year in terms of the situation."

"I know." Qian Dazhuang sighed when he heard the words, and the excitement he mentioned just now gradually calmed down. He glanced at Xia Dongli's composter, and then at the solar panels on it, his eyes were nostalgic from here. Passing through the lush sea of ​​flowers developed, "I am, I am not reconciled, so unwilling. I..."

Xia Dongli patted Qian Dazhuang's shoulder to express his comfort.This matter can only be decided by oneself, and it is useless for others to give any opinions.

All the farmer’s property is tied to one piece of land, and the ability to resist risks is extremely low. Regardless of who sometimes earns hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars at once with a high yield, but if any disaster comes, all You have to pay for everything.

To make matters worse, due to the particularity of agriculture, generally speaking, the whole family’s income is on the field, which means that once something happens to the land, the economic pillar will collapse.

As a just-started farmer, Xia Dongli felt a little complicated looking at the senior in front of him who could be said to have suffered a crushing defeat.

The road to agriculture is long and difficult, with huge initial investment and long rewards. Not everyone can wait for the day of rewards. Qian Dazhuang is just one of thousands of agricultural practitioners. There are many failures and few successes.

He patted him again to cheer him up: "Uncle, it's okay, if you want to come back anytime, I can sell you the seedlings here."

"Native seedlings?" Qian Dazhuang raised his eyelids and looked over expectantly. Xia Dongli laughed angrily, "Of course they are cutting seedlings. Where do I have the time to make original seedlings?"

"It's okay... the cuttings have a shorter lifespan, but the others are quite stable." Qian Dazhuang muttered, and followed Xia Dongli to the place where the students were planting. After a long time, he whispered Said, "Thank you, Xiao Xia, uncle owes you a favor."

He spoke very lightly, as if he was speaking only for himself.Xia Dongli heard it, but didn't respond. He didn't care about favors or favors, he was just a leader, and he didn't expect anything in return.

He smiled at Xun Yao who was walking towards them, ran over in three steps at a time, took the leash from Xun Yao's hand, and introduced the new member of their family to Qian Dazhuang: "This is Our new dog is called Defu, come, Ah Fu, say hello to Uncle Qian."

After soaking in the medicated bath, he was carefully dried. At the moment, the wolfdog who was being picked up by Xun Yu for a walk looked at Qian Dazhuang with a surprised face, and gave a loud "bark", and shook his somewhat bald tail happily.

"Oh, this, this seems to be much better. Its skin disease." Qian Dazhuang squatted down and looked up and down at this familiar wolf dog. It was only ten days later, and he didn't know if he had a bath. He actually felt that it was a little strange.

He looked at the dog carefully, and his first feeling was... "It's fat."

That's right, even though it's only been a few days, the previously skinny dog ​​has more flesh and looks a bit strong.

And this face is much cleaner, the original eye gum has been wiped off, revealing two eyeliners, the eyes look extraordinarily airy, the tail that has been clamped has also begun to dangle, the most important thing is the spirit.

The previous wave of shrinking was gone, and it became full like a balloon.

How the dog is doing can be seen from his eyes. Qian Dazhuang smiled with some relief. He stretched out his hand and touched the dog's head for the first time: "Little guy, the hard days are over. I'm going to have a good time."

Ah Fu took advantage of the situation and sat down where he was, and showed a bright smile at this kind-hearted man, as if to say: Wang has found a home after four years of persistence, and you must continue to work hard!

Under its high neck, the small silver sign is particularly eye-catching.
