Chapter 13 13. They all have a poor life
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 steadfastly. The weather waits for no one. Take advantage of the time to put things in order so that you can sow seeds into the ground in the spring.
Song Tan’s plan is clear and clear—
The grass in the chestnut forest needs to be picked up, and the big chestnut trees need to be fertilized and pruned. 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 entering and causing trouble.
Just then, some trees were cut down from the back mountain. The trunks were divided into sections to sow 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.
As for the land, I have planted milkvetch in the past month or two. After the milkvetch has bloomed, it is almost time, and I plow it carefully again to prepare for planting rice and vegetables.
Some seeds can be grown into 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 Wulan are busy running around every day, but what about their daughter?
It’s not that 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 say a word of praise after seeing this!
But Ulan felt sour when he heard it!
What tree trunk are you carrying on your back, silly boy! 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?
It’s not that my daughter is always idle, but when she is free, she looks up some information on the computer... Ulan 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, there would be nothing more to say at this moment.
The couple spent the night calculating accounts, artificial intelligence, machines, bacteria, chickens, ducks, piglets, fertilizers...
Sixty thousand yuan is thrown into it and it just makes a sound.
After further calculation, this money will last until the end of April, and at most, we can harvest a patch of milkvetch.
Ulan still has 60,000 yuan from his family, but seeing that the child is unreliable, Ulan is really reluctant to give up the money now that he thinks about it!
60,000 yuan, if there is no big deal, the couple will have to save for two years!
Song Sancheng and Wu Lanzhen were so worried that their hair turned white.
They think that raising children is a debt. This girl has been obedient and sensible for twenty years, and now she has become a big boss. Worry!
It is strange to say that the more worried I am, 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 we are poor. The more we spend, the more tired we become, and the more comfortable we feel!"
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.
Not far away, my grandma and grandma Song Youde and his wife have been working with them a lot these days. Now Song Youde is smoking his pipe, feeling quite happy.
“It’s better that we, Tantan, have gone to college and are capable, so we know how to come back and farm.”
It is known that Song Youde: the poor background of a tenant farmer in a standard landowner's family.
In his eyes, there is nothing greater than the fields.
Wang Lifen also had the same idea, but her perspective was different: "Farming is good, we can still do it, 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. When Tan Tan comes back to farm, if he hires people, there will be few migrant workers in the next autumn, and there will be a lot of popularity in the village. "
That’s true, isn’t it?
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 good.
My son can move just fine, but if he gets too old and can't walk anymore, he still has to take care of Qiaoqiao. What will he do?
Now that Tantan is back, their family can also rely on them. The two siblings can be together more. At least she can take care of Qiaoqiao when 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 and having experienced so many years of ups and downs, Song Youde sees things more clearly than Song Sancheng:
"I think Tantan has really learned her skills. Although the fields are busy, she still smiles after doing so much work every day. She must have a plan. Maybe she can really make a name for herself."
"That's right!" Wang Lifen also admitted: "She has been smart and sensible since she was a child. She will definitely not do anything she is not sure about."
The two of them have been in poor health in the past few years, and the children are no longer allowed to plant more land. There is only a vegetable garden at the door that can be managed—
It was leisure time, but the old couple just couldn't cheer up.
Dozes off during the day and cannot sleep at night.
I have been looking for some small things to do every day. Now I look at the large piece of land that has been allocated, and if I don’t talk about anything 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 her daughter-in-law cook. They ate together, discussed things, talked and laughed, and felt closer to her son's family!
Song Youde was so beautiful that he couldn't help but make another arrangement:
“It’s cold today, and chickens are laying few eggs. Don’t Tantan want to raise chickens? Why don’t you ask our old hens to nest in the nest? Let’s hatch more chicks and save some money for the children.”
“Little local chickens are expensive now and hard to find.”
Wang Lifen also nodded:
“We happen to eat a lot of meat in winter, so I’ve saved up all the eggs. Let’s pick them up first when the lights are on later.”
“There is also a duck seller. Their ducks are not sick, they grow strong, and they eat well. I will go and find out about them tomorrow.”
Song Youde frowned again: "Don't do too much. In the past few years, there have been cases of bird flu and swine fever here and there. Just be patient."
Does Wang Lifen still 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 and can't be sold, can we just eat them? It also saves us having to go out. Bought.”
There are only four old hens at home, and if they all have nests, they can hatch hundreds of chicks. When the time comes, they can put them in the mountains and fields, and there is no need to worry about it. How simple!
Song Youde thought about it, and now he sighed a little: "You said it would be great if the eldest son and eldest grandson were willing to come back to live in our old house. I just gave it to them."
Wang Lifen rolled her eyes: "It will be given to whoever stays in the village. No one wants that old house for five thousand yuan. Your eldest grandson has the first two or three houses in the city. How can he care about this?"
Song Youde also said: "After all, he is the eldest son and grandson of our old Song family..."
Don’t worry, the family doesn’t have any big things, the main thing is farming, and the family is short-lived.
Also, don’t think that food that uses chemical fertilizers is not green food! Fertilizers and pesticides are different.
Another: There will be an additional update today.
