Chapter 20 Liangtian
“By the way, Susu, this is for you, keep it.”
Chen Ling saw that Wang Susu’s shy head dropped to her chest, so she stopped teasing her. .
Then he took out a wad of money from his pocket and handed it to her.
“Huh?”
"This money..."
Wang Susu suddenly saw so much money, her eyes widened and she was shocked.
It wasn’t the amount of money that shocked her, but Chen Ling’s act of handing her the money.
It’s a bit unbelievable.
In the past, Chen Ling would only ask for money from her, and would get angry at her if she didn't give her money. Where had she ever seen a penny in his hand?
"This money is the subsidy that Erzhu paid for exchanging land with our family. It is 200 yuan per mu. Our family has ten acres of land, which is exactly 2,000 yuan here."
Chen Ling explained the money. He handed it to Wang Susu again.
"Here, you put it away."
"Huh?"
Wang Susu was still stunned. When she realized what she was doing, she asked: "Give it all to me, Aling. Don't you want to spend it? Don't you have to go to the county town tomorrow..."
Chen Ling smiled and waved his hand: "I still have a little bit left in me, you don't have to worry about me."
Half of the two thousand yuan was Chen Ling's money from selling peanuts, and the other half was left over from exchanging farmland. .
But there is only a little over a thousand yuan left.
In other words, half of the two thousand yuan given by Chen Erzhu had been destroyed in less than half a month.
You must know that this was 1995, and ordinary mountain people could spend one thousand yuan a year more than enough.
General contracted land costs only sixty or seventy yuan per mu per year.
Others call him a prodigal son, which is absolutely correct.
If he hadn't been lucky enough to go to parallel time and space, he would have gained the life experience of parallel time and space.
I don’t know what will happen to this family in the future.
"Hurry up and put your money away. I'm going to cook."
Chen Ling said something to his little wife and walked to the yard to light a fire to cook.
Wang Susu held a thick wad of money and looked at Chen Ling's back, feeling much more at ease.
For some reason, she suddenly remembered the scene where Chen Ling pinched her nose and talked about her little housekeeper. Wang Susu couldn't help but curl her lips, walked into the house with the money and put it down.
The little wife’s heart finally calmed down.
……
In the early morning, the red sun rises.
Chen Ling got up, washed up, opened the door and walked out, and suddenly a breath of fresh air hit his face.
In the morning in the mountains, the temperature is much colder than outside.
Suddenly, cold air was sucked into his lungs, and Chen Ling couldn't help but shiver.
After the entire respiratory system adapted, my whole body felt relaxed.
This kind of cool and pure air is extremely difficult to experience in later generations.
Chen Ling took a greedy deep breath, stretched his muscles, and walked out of the hospital.
On the toon tree outside the courtyard, two or three magpies flew in from nowhere, chirping non-stop.
The crisp chirping of birds, the pure blue sky in the morning, and the warm and red sun in the east make people feel better.
Chen Ling walked outside the village, planning to take advantage of the morning light to go around the fields.
There is no need to rush to the farmer's market early today, just deliver the peanuts to the oil shop.
So it seems quite leisurely.
"Eh? What are you doing, Fugui?"
"Go to the fields early in the morning?"
When we walked outside the village, a man in his thirties appeared A man, wearing a police uniform and a big-brimmed hat, came from a short distance on a bicycle with a large beam.
After seeing Chen Ling, he said hello in surprise.
"Yes, let's go for a walk in the fields."
"Brother Jusheng just came back..."
Chen Ling nodded and passed by Wang Jusheng .
This is Wang Laishun’s eldest son.
He is a police officer at the rural police station. He works night shifts several times a month. I often see him riding his bicycle back early in the morning.
Everyone in Chenwangzhuang knows this and has long been accustomed to it.
Chen Ling walked slowly along the field path, looking east and west, admiring the scenery of the fields at the foot of the morning mountain.
Wang Jusheng, on the other hand, turned his head and looked back at Chen Ling several times after riding his bicycle, muttering something in his mouth and looking quite strange.
After a while, Chen Ling came to the wasteland at the foot of the mountain.
Looking around, he suddenly discovered that on the more than five acres of land where peanuts had been planted with Dongtian Stream water the day before yesterday, tender grass sprouts sprouted out.
The tender green ones have just emerged and are very young.
If Chen Ling's physical condition had not improved and his eyesight had not greatly improved, he would not have noticed it at the first time.
“This guy, fortunately I am cautious enough!”
“Every time a peanut is planted, the stream water will pour just a little bit...” “Otherwise these wouldn’t be grass sprouts now, I’m afraid the grass is half as tall as a man.”
Chen Ling pulled out a small grass bud and pinched it. The fresh smell of green grass came out.
Although the grass buds are very delicate, they can grow at the foot of the mountain where the temperature is low, and they obviously contain considerable vitality.
Chen Ling couldn't help but secretly rejoice.
Fortunately, I was cautious enough.
Thinking that half a bowl of stream water can make the morning glory seeds in the yard grow like a small tree.
When planting peanuts, the stream water is of no use.
Otherwise, green grass half as tall as a person would really grow all over the ground now...
It would be better not to be seen, but being seen would be a big trouble.
“It is still too underestimated the effect of Dongtian Stream.”
"It seems that in the future, if we use Dongtian Creek water to irrigate things, we have to dilute it with ordinary water."
Chen Ling thought to himself.
Sun Moon Cave Sky is a great blessing. If you want to hold on to it, you have to develop in a low-key manner.
He doesn’t have the capital to be unscrupulous now.
In fact, according to his plan, he only started working here after the flood.
It won’t matter if the wasteland turns into fertile farmland by then.
Just blame the flood. Who knows what the flood washed away.
He is just a farmer with a low level of education. If others don’t understand, he naturally doesn’t understand either.
"Oh, let's take it one step at a time."
Afterwards, Chen Ling calmed down, took out the stone hoe from the cave, and dug a deep hole in the ground.
"The hard solidified soil below has also become soft, and now we can plow."
"I believe that plowing the land twice, turning over the soil, and planting crops several times with stream water will make these thirty acres The wasteland can be turned into fertile farmland."
Chen Ling estimated in his mind that it could be completed within this month.
“Then let’s do it!”
He gritted his teeth, spit on his hands, and rubbed them vigorously.
Chen Ling walked to the land where peanuts had not been planted, picked up the hoe and started digging hole after hole.
I took out a bucket of stream water from the cave sky, reduced the amount by two or three points according to the last time, and began to plant peanuts in the pit.
Two hours have passed, and about half an acre of flowers have grown to maturity, and the harvest has been completed.
After working in the fields for several days, he is now familiar with the rhythm of farm work and enjoys it.
I am energetic and do farm work without feeling tired.
It takes other people a whole morning to plant half an acre, but he plants and harvests at the same time, eliminating unnecessary steps such as hoeing, plowing, and furrowing, and can finish the job in two hours.
Going to the fields like this is just fun and gives you a full sense of accomplishment. How can you be afraid of work?
“Try growing some more vegetables.”
The more Chen Ling worked, the more energetic he became. He planned to plant some vegetables and test the planting situation in the outside world in detail, so that he would have a better idea.
Because of the few vegetables grown in the cave, if you grow them casually, they will seriously overproduce.
Beans, eggplants, cucumbers, spinach, tomatoes...
The growth is so gratifying, most of them are seeds bought from the county, and they are all full of fruit, and the vines and branches are bent.
The spinach has grown into a large area, and it has become old. It has bloomed and grown spinach seeds, which are no longer edible.
Go into the cave to take out the cucumber and eggplant rapeseeds and prepare them for planting.
The spinach seeds were also collected to make seeds, and the eggplant seeds were bought from the county.
Then it was taken to the outside world, and the eggplants continued to be dug and planted.
There is no need for spinach. After plowing the soil, just sprinkle the rapeseed directly into the ground, but it must be evenly distributed.
Otherwise, if it is too dense, it will be crowded together and form a lump.
After working for more than half an hour, spinach, eggplant, and cucumber were planted in a total of half a row of vegetables.
One acre is ten acres of farmland, and their local farmland is almost two acres of farmland.
It took about half an hour to plant a piece of land.
Chen Ling mainly observed and tried. After it was immature, he hurriedly dug it down by the roots and put it into the cave with a wave of his hand.
So it’s a little slow.
“The water in the cave is just this small. You don’t need to build a cucumber. Just insert two branches and climb up a large piece by yourself.”
Chen Ling picked a thick and thick root. I simply smoothed out the thorns on the long cucumber and took a bite.
When you eat it, it is crisp and refreshing, and your mouth is full of fragrance.
"The taste is good, although it is much worse than the ones grown directly in Dongtian."
Chen Ling chewed it carefully and felt it, "It's okay, better than ordinary greenhouse cucumbers. "More."
"It's time to go home and have breakfast!"
Chen Ling put the stone hoe into the cave, stretched, and walked home.
