Chapter 13 13. They are all poor
Now is the slack time for farming. Song Sancheng has called all the men and women in the village, in their thirties and fifties, who can work hard - the weather waits for no one. Now that it’s tidied up, it’s time to sow the seeds into the ground in spring.
Song Tan's plan is clear and simple -
The grass in the chestnut forest needs to be picked up, and the big chestnut trees need to be fertilized and trimmed. At that time, a fungus frame will be built under the tree.
The perimeter should also be fenced off to prevent animals or people from getting in and causing trouble.
Just then, some trees were cut down from the back mountain. The trunks were segmented to plant bacteria, and the branches were used to build a shed to shelter the pigs from the wind and rain. Several pig troughs were also prepared and separated by barbed wire.
In the field, I have planted milkvetch in the past month or two. After the milkvetch has bloomed, it is almost time, and I will plow it carefully again to prepare for planting rice and vegetables.
Some seeds can be grown as seedlings after a while.
You also have to find local chickens and ducks, and you have to make an appointment with others to pick up piglets. With so many people, you have to arrange meals every day...
Song Sancheng and Wu Lan every day You are so busy going around, where do you want to see your daughter?
It wasn't like there was no work, the little girl was very strong, so she went to the mountain to carry tree trunks.
Who in the village wouldn’t praise it after seeing it!
But Wulan felt sour when he heard it!
What tree trunk is this silly boy carrying? You said that at the same age as a flower, what can you say if you don't go to an office and come back to farm? When it comes to marriage in the future, where can I find a suitable boy?
My daughter is not idle, but when she is free, she looks up information on the computer... Wulan once went in to take a look——
Good guy! Now I am just cramming, what kind of scientific planting explanations are there? !
This, this, this!
She gasped. If the money hadn't been spent, she wouldn't have to worry about anything at this moment.
The couple spent the night calculating accounts, labor, machines, bacteria, chickens, ducks, piglets, fertilizers...
Sixty thousand yuan was thrown in, and it just made a sound.
After another calculation, this amount of money will last until the end of April, and at most, I can harvest a patch of milkvetch.
Ulan still has 60,000 yuan prepared for his family, but seeing that the child is unreliable, Ulan is really reluctant to take the money now that he thinks about it!
Sixty thousand yuan, if there is no big deal, the couple will have to save for two years!
Song Sancheng and Wu Lan were so worried that their hair turned white.
They think that raising children and daughters is a debt. This girl has been obedient and sensible for twenty years, and now she has become a big boss. She is worried!
But strangely enough, the more worried I become, the more I sleep soundly at night. Song Sancheng snored loudly at night, but there was no movement at all. At Wulan's age, it was good to be able to sleep for five hours intermittently a night. However, since her daughter came home, she went to bed at seven or eight o'clock and didn't wake up until six o'clock.
This is really...
Ulan complained to Song Sancheng: "Let's just say that we are poor. The more we spend, the more tired we become, and the more comfortable we feel!"
< br>Song Sancheng also agreed: "No, look at me bending down to work every day, and the pain in my back is gone!"
In the room, Song Tan collected his spiritual energy and hid his merit and fame.
However, not far away, the couple, grandfather and grandmother Song Youde, have been working with them a lot these days. Now Song Youde is smoking his cigarette pipe, feeling quite happy.
“We, Tantan, have gone to college, are capable, and know how to come back and farm.”
“We farmers, as long as there is food in the fields, we have a way out at any time. ”
It is known that Song Youde: a standard landlord’s poor background as a tenant farmer.
In his eyes, there is nothing bigger than the fields.
Wang Lifen also had the same idea, but her perspective was different: "Farming is good, we can still do it, and helping the children, isn't it better than sitting in a daze?" "Besides, raising children and raising daughters can only be seen a few times throughout the year. Tantan comes back to farm, and if she hires people, there will be few people working in the next autumn, and there will be a lot of popularity in the village."
Isn't that right?
They are already at this age. When they were young, seeing that the youngest son’s family had only one male, Qiao Qiao, he always felt that it was not possible.
My son can move just fine, but he will have to take care of Qiao Qiao when he gets too old to walk. What will he do?
Now that Tan Tan is back, their family can also rely on them. The two siblings can still be together. At least she can take care of Qiao Qiao as she gets older.
Otherwise, if you don’t go home for a long time, the blood and family ties will be consumed quickly.
However, as an old man who has experienced so many years of ups and downs, Song Youde sees it more clearly than Song Sancheng:
“I think Tantan has really learned his skills. Although she is busy in the fields, she still smiles after doing so much work every day, and she must be successful. "
"That's right!" Wang Lifen also admitted. : "She has been smart and sensible since she was a child. She will definitely not do anything that she is not sure about."
The two of them have not been in good health in the past few years, and the children have not allowed them to plant more land. They can still keep a vegetable garden in front of the door——
It is leisurely, but the old couple just can't cheer up. Come.
I dozed off during the day and couldn't sleep at night.
I am looking for some small things to do every day. Now I see the large piece of land that has been allocated is being toiled. If nothing else, I feel calm.
During the day, they did what they could. Song Youde went to the fields to help clear away weeds, and Wang Lifen helped his daughter-in-law cook. They ate together, discussed things together, talked and laughed, and felt closer to her son's family!
Song Youde felt so happy that he couldn't help but made another arrangement:
"It's cold today, and chickens lay few eggs. Don't Tantan want to raise chickens? Why don't you ask our old hens to nest in the nest?" Hatch more chicks and save some money for your children."
"Chickens are expensive and hard to find now."
Wang Lifen also nodded:
"Just right. We eat a lot of meat in winter, and I’ve saved up all the eggs. We’ll pick them up before lighting up later.”
"And that duck, there is a seller of duck seedlings. Their ducks don't get sick, they grow strong, and they eat well. I'll go and ask about it tomorrow."
Song Youde frowned again: " Don’t do too much. In the past few years, either here or there has been a bird flu outbreak or swine fever. Just be patient.”
Wang Lifen still doesn’t know?
“It’s a waste of time to worry. Our place is remote but the feng shui is good. When did the chickens, ducks and geese get plague? Besides, it costs nothing to raise chickens. As long as they don’t get sick, we won’t eat them if they don’t sell them. Is that enough? You don’t have to buy them from outside.”
We only have four old hens at home, and they can hatch hundreds of chicks. When the time comes, we can put them in the mountains and fields, so we don’t have to worry about them. Simple!
Song Youde thought about it, and now he sighed a little: "You said it would be great if the eldest son and grandson would come back to live in this old house of ours. I just gave it to them."
Wang Lifen turned over. Rolling his eyes: "It will be given to whoever stays in the village. No one wants five thousand yuan for that old house. Your eldest grandson has the first two or three houses in the city. How can he care about this?"
Song Youde also sneered. : "After all, he is the eldest son and grandson of our old Song family..."
Don't worry, there is nothing big in the family, the main thing is farming, and the parents are short-lived.
In addition, don’t think that using chemical fertilizers is not green food! Fertilizers and pesticides are different.
Another: There will be an additional update today.
