Song Tan Jishi

  Chapter 13 13. They are all poor

  Now is the slack time for farming. Song Sancheng called all the men and women in the village, in their 30s and 50s, who were able to work hard.

  Song Tan's plan is clearly done—

  The grass in the chestnut forest needs to be tidied up, and those old chestnut trees should be fertilized and trimmed. At that time, fungus shelves will be built under the tree.

  The periphery should also be circled to prevent animals or people from entering and making trouble.

  It happened that some trees were cut down from the back mountain. The trunks were segmented for fungus breeding, and the branches were used to build sheds to shelter from wind and rain for pigs to sleep in. Several pig troughs were also prepared, separated by barbed wire to surround them.

  In the field, we will plant milk vetch in the last one or two months. After the milk vetch blooms, the time is almost up, and we will plow again and prepare to grow rice and vegetables.

   Some seeds can be raised after a while.

   There are also local chickens and ducks, and you have to make an appointment with others to hug the piglet. With so many people, you have to make arrangements every day to eat...

  Song Sancheng and Ulan are busy going around every day, so what about their daughter?

   It’s not that I didn’t work, the little girl was very strong, so she went to the mountain to carry the tree trunk.

  No one in the village is exaggerating after seeing it!

  But Wulan felt sour when he heard it!

  What tree trunk are you carrying, you silly boy! You said that at the same age as flowers, what do you say when you don’t go to the office and come back to farm? In the future, when we talk about marriage, where can we find the right boy!

  My daughter is not idle, but when she is free, she looks up information on the computer... Wulan once went in to have a look—

   Good guy! It’s only now that I’m cramming, what kind of scientific planting explanations do I see? !

   This, this, this!

  She gasped, if the money hadn't already been spent, she wouldn't have to worry about it now.

  The couple settle accounts at night, labor, machines, bacteria, chickens, ducks, piglets, fertilizer...

  60,000 yuan was thrown in, and it was only audible.

   After another calculation, the money will be able to last until the end of April, and at most one piece of milk vetch can be harvested.

   There is still 60,000 yuan prepared by Ulan, but seeing that the child is unreliable, Ulan is really reluctant to take the money now!

   60,000 yuan, if there is no big deal, the couple will have to save for two years!

  Song Sancheng and Ulan are really worried that their hair is turning gray.

   They think that raising children and raising daughters is a debt. This girl has been obedient and sensible for twenty years, and now she will become a big one if she does it, worry!

   It's strange to say that the more you worry, you still sleep soundly at night. Song Sancheng was snoring loudly at night, but nothing happened. At Ulan's age, it's good to be able to sleep intermittently for five hours a night, but since her daughter came home, she went to bed at seven or eight o'clock and woke up at six o'clock.

  This is really…

  Ulan complained to Song Sancheng: "Just say we are poor, the more we spend, the more tired we are, and the more comfortable we feel!"

  Song Sancheng also agreed: "No, you see I bend over to work every day, and my back pain is gone!"

  In the room, Song Tan gathers his aura and hides his achievements and fame.

  The old couple Song Youde, who is not far away, have been working with them these days, and now Song Youde is smoking a cigarette pipe, feeling quite beautiful in his heart.

   "It's still us, Tan Tan, who has studied in college, has the ability, and knows how to come back to farm."

   "We farmers, as long as there is food in the field, there is always a way out."

   Known, Song Youde: The bitter background of the standard landlord family and tenant farmers.

  In his eyes, there is nothing bigger than the fields.

  Wang Lifen also thinks the same way, but her perspective is different: "Farming is good, we can still do it, and helping children is not better than sitting in a daze?"

   "Besides, those who raise children don't see each other a few times throughout the year. If Tan Tan comes back to farm, if he hires someone, there will be fewer people working in the next autumn, and there is popularity in the village."

  Isn’t that right?

  They are all at this age. When they were young, they always felt that it was impossible to see that the youngest son’s family was only one male, Jojo.

  My son is doing well, but if he is too old to walk, he has to take care of Qiao Qiao, so what should he do?

   Now that Tan Tan is back, their family is also a support, and the siblings can spend more time together. At least she can watch Qiao Qiao when she is old.

   Otherwise, if you don't go home for a long time, the blood relationship will be consumed quickly.

  However, as an old man, after so many years of ups and downs, Song Youde sees it more thoroughly than Song Sancheng:

   "I think Tan Tan has really learned her skills. Although the field is busy, she does so much work every day and is still smiling. She must have a plan in her heart. Maybe she can really grow something famous."

   "That is," Wang Lifen also admitted: "She has been smart and sensible since she was a child. If she is not sure, she will definitely not do it."

  The two of them have not been in good health for the past few years, and the children are not allowed to have multiple lands. The vegetable garden at the door can still be tidied up—

   Leisure is leisure, but the old couple just can't cheer up.

  Doze off during the day, but can't sleep at night.

  I was looking for some small things to do every day, and now I see that the large piece of land allocated is tossing, let alone, I am at peace.

   During the day, they did what they could. Song Youde went to the field to help clean up weeds, and Wang Lifen helped his daughter-in-law cook. They ate and discussed together, talking and laughing, and felt closer to their son's family!

  Song Youde was so beautiful in his heart that he couldn't help but arranged again:

   "It's cold today, and the chickens lay few eggs. Isn't Tan Tan going to raise chickens? Tell our old hens to cuddle tomorrow, hatch more chicks, and save some money for the children."

   "Small native chickens are expensive now, so it's hard to find."

  Wang Lifen also nodded:

   "It happens that there is a lot of meat in winter, and I have saved up eggs. Let's pick and choose when we turn on the lights later."

   "There is also the duck. There is a seller of ducklings. Their ducks are not sick, grow strong, and eat well. I will go and find out tomorrow."

  Song Youde frowned again: "Don't do too much, either here or there has been a bird flu outbreak of swine fever in the past few years, take it easy."

  Can Wang Lifen not know?

"Don't worry, our place is remote, but the feng shui is good. When did the chickens, ducks and geese get plague? Besides, it doesn't cost money to raise chickens. As long as they don't get sick and can't be sold, can we eat them? It also saves going outside. I bought it."

  There are only four old hens in the house, and they will hatch hundreds of chicks when they are all brooding. When the time comes, they will be released in the fields on the mountain, so there is no need to worry about it. How simple!

  Song Youde thought about it too, and now he sighed a little: "You said that the old house on the mountain of our family, if the eldest son and grandson are willing to come back to live in it, it's just given to them."

  Wang Lifen rolled her eyes: "I will give it to whoever stays in the village. No one wants that old house for 5,000 yuan. Your eldest grandson has three or five houses in the city. Can you care about this?"

  Song Youde was also embarrassed: "Is it the eldest son and grandson of our old Song family..."

   Don't worry, there are no great products at home, the main thing is farming, and the parents are short-lived.

   In addition, don’t think that the use of chemical fertilizers is not green food! Fertilizers and pesticides are different.

   Another: There are more changes today.
