The fertile water of farming does not flow to outsiders' fields

Xue Yinsong was thinking wildly in his mind, seeing that the digging was almost done, he suggested: "Father, should you be able to get up?"

Father Xue nodded, and the two bent down, one by one pushing the other to turn the stone slab up, and then filled back the mud that had been dug out at the beginning.

It's just noon, and it's inevitable that you won't bump into people when you carry it back, and there will be a lot of troublesome things to ask, so Father Xue immediately made a decision: "Put it here first, cover it with mud, and let's go home for dinner first." Plant rice seedlings in the afternoon, and carry them back in the evening when no one is around."

Xue Yinsong was right when he thought about it, he hurriedly pushed the stele down in the mud, and shoveled some mud to cover it.

In the afternoon, when the sun was a little bit off, Father Xue stood in the middle of the yard and called out: "Tiger, you take the guy's style, let's plant rice seedlings, and Binghuan also goes together, and strive to finish the field today, and everyone in the village will plant rice seedlings." It's over, let's hurry up."

After hearing this, Aunt Huan stood up quickly and said, "I'm going to change into bunt clothes." After Qu Hongxiang reported to Li Zheng early in the morning, she was allowed to live in Xue's house temporarily, and hurriedly poked her head out of the house to respond: "I am coming too."

Xue Yinsong lowered his head and rolled up his sleeves, and taunted her slowly: "Aren't you a ditty singer? You can also plant rice seedlings?"

"You!" Qu Hongxiang was annoyed for a while: "I know how to learn!"

Xue Yinsong said seriously: "Don't tell me, this paddy field is full of leeches and snails. Do leeches know? They specialize in sucking human blood. As soon as they smell the fragrance of human flesh, they swim over and start sucking when they stick to the flesh. You also want to burrow into the meat, lay eggs hundreds of them at a time, and wait for two months to hatch, oh, that will be miserable, as leeches crawl out of your mouth, eyes, and nose everywhere. And the snail, you know? That one is even scarier, there is a kind of nematode in the snail, and it likes to parasitize in the liver, lungs and lungs of people, if..."

Qu Hongxiang was so shocked by him that her lips were blue and her face was black, she took two steps back and said in a trembling voice: "You coax me, if, if it's really that scary, why do you want to go to the paddy field?"

Xue Yinsong looked at her with a slightly disdainful look, and said with a smile: "Don't we farmers live on the fields? What do you wear if you don't go to the fields? Do you think you can support your family by singing a ditty like you?" ?”

Qu Hongxiang's face turned blue and red, and it took a while before he said, "Although I don't know why you are targeting me everywhere, I can tell you clearly that I definitely don't want to stay at your house... I, I have no home now. I’m back, if I have a place to go in the future, I will definitely reward you.”

Xue Yinsong waved his hand and said: "No, our family doesn't charge rewards if you are willing to help others, as long as you can find a good home, go find it quickly, it is not so easy to find a good home these days."

Qu Hongxiang wanted to say something more, but Father Xue coughed to stop him and said, "Tiger, you don't want to change your clothes?" Xue Yinsong stopped talking and went into the room.

Aunt Huan went to the backyard and took out two wooden boxes of rice seedlings, put them into a big bamboo basket, and took a fire sickle to carry.If the leech is bitten on the skin, you must not pull it with your hands. The more you pull it, the more it will penetrate into the flesh. You can only burn it with a fire sickle or a smoke pot, and it will fall off after a few burns.

Qu Hongxiang stubbornly refused to stay in the house, so she changed into a pair of straw sandals and followed, but Aunt Huan didn't stop her. This spring, all the young and old would come out for a stroll, so as to get acquainted with each other, so as not to be bored at home every day.

Walking into the field, Father Xue first divided out a handful of seedlings and planted them in two rows, and then he took his son to explain the trick: "You plant according to my horizontal and vertical density. When planting the seedlings, hold the root and insert a finger Shen, look at this, the first three fingers hold the seedlings, and the other two little fingers should use their strength to gather the seedlings when starting. Also, you must start straight, don't insert it crookedly, and don't pursue speed at the beginning... ..."

Seeing that Xue Yinsong tentatively inserted two sticks, which were still barely qualified, Father Xue stretched out his hand and frowned and said, "Didn't I tell you to use your little finger to hold it together? The roots are not covered with soil, so the seedlings are easy to fall."

Father Xue demonstrated again, and then he was relieved to let go.

Qu Hongxiang watched for a while, thinking of those leeches and snails, hesitated again in her heart, looked at the water and at her own feet, and finally did not dare to go into the water.

Aunt Huan has also planted land before, and she is a proficient hand. Among the three, Xue Yinsong is a handyman. He started to practice a few lines while planting rice seedlings while pondering, and gradually summed up the experience and the speed gradually increased.

From a distance, experienced people are different from inexperienced ones. Father Xue and Auntie Huan planted them much more neatly, looking horizontally and vertically, and the seedlings stand upright.

Xue Yinsong looked in front of himself, looked at them sideways, withdrew his envious eyes, and comforted himself with thick skin, this farm work, ha, the emphasis is on blending.

Qu Hongxiang sat aside for a while, saw some wild vegetables on the side of the field, hurriedly took the bamboo baskets and walked over. Spring is the season for shepherd's purse to grow, if I can dig a small basket, I can add another vegetable at night .

Xue Yinsong finished planting the seedlings in his hand, straightened up and felt his eyes were dizzy, and saw a leech biting on his left calf, which had been sucked thickly, and he must have had a full meal.

He carefully moved to the edge of the field and sat down, and hurriedly called Aunt Huan to take the fire sickle.Aunt Huan heard the sound and came over, smiled and said, "Don't just stand in one place and not walk, leeches don't swim fast, as long as you keep moving around, you won't be stung."

Xue Yinsong smiled wryly, he was half-baked at this technique, and it was really impossible to plant rice seedlings as quickly as they did. Father Xue straightened up and smiled and said: "He, he will get used to it after being bitten a few times. How can anyone who goes to the field not be caught by leeches?" Bite."

After noon, the power of the sun became weaker and weaker. In the afternoon, the three people worked desperately and finally planted the last seedling before sunset.

Xue Yinsong was so tired that he climbed up to the ridge of the field and lay down in big characters: "I'm dying, let me rest for a while before going home. Hey, I can hardly straighten my waist."

Father Xue was not in a hurry, he took a puff of dry smoke leisurely and said, "It doesn't matter, the sun hasn't completely sunk yet, we will have to wait a while before we can move the stele."

Only then did Xue Yinsong remember that there was another big guy, and couldn't help moaning: "Father, don't feel sorry for the calf, let the cow pull it later."

It’s okay for Father Xue to think about it. Although such a large stele can be lifted, it’s just that I’ve done enough physical work today, so it’s still easy: “Okay, then I’ll go back and set up the car first.”

When the stele was transported home, Xue Yinsong couldn't hold back any longer. He didn't unload the car and didn't change his clothes. After rushing, he jumped to the table to grab the dishes.

Aunt Huan handed him a bowl of rice with a smile and said: "Thanks to Hongxiang today, she cooked the rice, and she pulled the shepherd's purse on the field. You all have to try it. The shepherd's purse is the most tender in spring. I'll be free in two days." Go grab a basket, let's make dumplings and eat."

Father Xue immediately agreed, and then looked at Aunt Huan with salivating face: "It's been a tiring day... soothes tendons and activates blood circulation..."

Aunt Huan let out a chuckle: "I know, I know, you, I really can't live without these two ounces of wine! Hongxiang, you go to the kitchen and get out the hot wine, everyone should drink some today."

Xue Yinsong first planed a big bowl of rice before recovering: "I'm starving to death, I haven't been so hungry for a long time."

Old man Xue sneered from the side: "The younger generation now shouts tired when they put in a little effort, thinking about us back then...Zi~~, this wine is so spicy."

Xue Yinsong pretended not to hear, and looked up to see Qu Hongxiang looking at him: "Why are you looking at me, eat, isn't this your cooking?"

Qu Hongxiang came back to her senses, and said with a smile, "You eat so fast. In just the blink of an eye, a bowl of rice is gone." Aunt Huan smiled and gave her a bite of food and said, "Eat, don't worry about them, just follow them." You are welcome at the same table, if you are slow to start for a while, the food will be gone."

Xue Yinsong took a mouthful of food and said, "By the way, have the tenant's wheat been dried? I want to pull a cart to the county seat tomorrow."

Father Xue squinted his eyes and said, "Okay, those tenants have asked me several times, and they will be able to exchange money soon, and they are all anxious to use it."

Xue Yinsong replied straightforwardly: "That's easy to say. Tomorrow, you will take back the wheat and give them the money first. By the way, our wheat and rice have been tossing for a while. Has anyone asked? Do you want to join the cooperative? "

Father Xue was a little proud: "Of course, there are many people who want to participate, but I didn't agree to it. I said I would wait until the autumn harvest."

Xue Yinsong nodded: "Yes, it's more convincing after the autumn harvest. Dad, you have to think about how to breed from tomorrow. We have to have good seeds. Also, you don't need to teach them the wooden box seedling method in the future. Let’s give it away after raising it ourselves, these are all experiences and cannot be passed on outside.”

Father Xue was stunned: "But don't the tenants know about it?"

"That doesn't matter. The tenant is planting the land of my family. If I violate the contract, I can take the land, but other people are different. This relationship is separated."

Father Xue nodded and said, "Then I will notify the tenants tomorrow and ask them to prepare the wheat."

Sure enough, Father Xue went out to collect wheat early in the morning the next day, and before noon, all the wheat from several houses had been collected and piled up in sacks in the room.

18 mu is not a lot, and the harvested wheat has piled up a whole house, and Xue Yinsong has made real money, almost emptying his old bottom.

Looking at the house full of sacks, Father Xue was very happy. He had already calculated that the Mavericks could pull two carts a day. He worked hard these days and ran twice a day, and he could transport the wheat in this house in ten days. into town.

Speaking of which, Zha Jin is also a solid eye. Hearing what Xue Yinsong said, he immediately felt that this was a very urgent matter, so he didn't take much rest along the way, and ran into the capital at full speed to report the news.

Of course the little prince was overjoyed, he had shut himself up in his room recently to read military books and was very depressed, now he can find a real topic to go out for a stroll, which is the best thing he could have wished for.

The old prince also attached great importance to it, because when his ancestors handed down this book of war, there was a rule that anyone who learned this book of war must go south to Fuchun County to pay homage to Taigong Zhong.

But the Huang family didn't know Zhong Taigong's tomb, so the worship was just a matter of going to Chenjia Village. Now they can find the tomb of Yiguan, which is considered to be a wish fulfilled, and they can comfort their ancestors during family sacrifices.

The little prince was very taciturn all the way, and Zha Jin couldn't figure out what he was thinking, so he had to bury his head and follow the team at full speed, and arrived at Chenjiacun in just over two days.

As soon as he entered the village, the young prince became irritable. He didn't even bother to drink water. He went straight to Xue's house, saw Xue Yinsong, and immediately asked, "Where is the stele?"

Xue Yinsong led him to the backyard. When the little prince saw the stele, he suppressed his emotions and squatted down to read the words carefully, and then said with certainty: "This person is not Zhong Taigong."
