Chapter 1226 1226. Tea seedlings delivered
This year, the entire Yunqiao Village started off busy.
However, no one in the village was unhappy.
After all, at this time in previous years, they would mostly be tidying up their own vegetable gardens and preparing some rapeseeds, seedlings, etc. This was the most leisurely time in their daily lives.
But for farmers, idleness means having no money.
Nowadays, even rice has to be bought with money. If they stay idle for a long time, they will feel anxious. This is why they have frequently gone out to work in recent years.
But this year is different.
Since the fifteenth day of the war, the old Song family has been busy.
When the weather is freezing, we start digging and raking the soil and spreading base fertilizer on the mountains. On the riverbank pasture, the manure from cows, sheep, chickens and ducks is fermented extremely thoroughly, just waiting to be put to use!
When the days got warmer day by day, the land that totaled thousands of acres was cleared, and their family began to plant fruit trees again.
Carloads of fruit trees were transported from all over the country, and Professor Song’s connections played a great role at this moment.
Song Tan doesn’t have to worry about which variety to choose, early or late maturity, or where to plant what, and how to use the land underneath...
Everything, Yan Ran and the three of them had already made plans last year.
This spring, there were two more on-site adjustments. Song Tan only needed to confirm and then arrange for people to plant.
Even the planting is watched over by the three of them.
To be honest, Song Tan thinks the salary is really worth it!
Compared with this, the strawberry patch they cultivated alone behind the dormitory is nothing.
Of course, Song Tan also knew why Yan Ran and the three of them asked Chen Yuan to help them keep an eye on this matter.
But it is difficult for agricultural students to graduate, and no matter how bad the strawberries are, they are still more delicious than ordinary strawberries. No matter who took them for granted or what happened, the three of them will have to cry in the field.
Chen Yuan asked people to help keep an eye on him, which also made people feel more at ease.
Song Tan wanted them to stay at home for a long time, but he never thought that they would not be able to graduate.
However, although the land has become much larger, their family is even more relaxed in this busy early spring than last year when they only had a few acres of land.
Even Ulan muttered:
"It's convenient to hire someone. Last year, your dad and I were being bossed around..."
Song Tan doesn’t want to either.
“But there was no money at that time, and the food was not good, so I just wanted to seize the opportunity in the spring..."
Fortunately, I have been busy for a while, but the subsequent income has also laid a foundation, and it has also given their family more funds to expand their territory.
"That's true." Ulan also nodded: "It's just that I'm really too busy. Every night when I close my eyes, I have to think about what I'm going to do tomorrow, and I have to work non-stop the next day... It's so panicky."
Qiaoqiao leaned over and said, "I'm not panicking. I've even learned how to grow milkvetch."
He was a little unhappy: "Sister, my mother didn't teach me well before. She said that the way you plant corn can be used to plant everything else, but when I plant milkvetch like that, what grows is not as lush as my sister's casual way of planting it. "
No, just scatter a handful and the seeds will be so dense!
And Qiaoqiao's place is just like growing corn. Three or two seeds are placed in a hole, and there is a space in between... Then doesn't it grow sparsely?
Now it has just warmed up, and the milkvetch has already sprouted green buds and leaves. From a distance, it looks like it is covered with a layer of gauze, which is particularly moving.
Not only the rice fields, but also the riverbanks are also sprinkled with large tracts of rice. When combined with other fresh and tender pastures, the cattle and sheep that have been waiting for the whole winter can eat it happily every day. The old big oxen were mixed among the herds, and they didn’t feel lonely at all at this moment.
Of course, Song Tan also knew that Old Man Li actually visited it often.
But facing this old man, the Old Song family didn't want to say anything more. Anyway, he is now looking at the tea mountain that once belonged to him, and he is working diligently and hard...
Then so be it.
…
Since spring planting started, trucks delivering seedlings have been non-stop every day. Fortunately, the road was built last year, otherwise just delivering goods would be a hassle.
Three truckloads of seedlings arrived this morning.
Xiao Zhu, the party secretary, saw it from afar and strolled over.
Having breakfast first, he asked: "I just saw that you led the car to the mountain on the side of Old Man Li. What was it?"
“Tea seedlings.” Song Tan replied: “There were originally only a dozen acres of old tea trees on the mountain, but they were all pruned in winter. They grew too tall, one or two meters high, and they couldn’t be picked.”
“The remaining wasteland will be reclaimed and planted with tea. Otherwise, if the annual output is so low, Boss Chang will really cry to death.”
Cha tea seedlings can be picked in two to three years after they are planted. Although the yield is slightly low at the beginning, they grow very rapidly. In comparison, it doesn't require too much care, and now it has become the main profit-making force of the Old Song family.
So, even though his family couldn't drink that much, Song Tan still arranged for more than 100 acres of land, which was a lot of sacrifice.
Otherwise, this land can be used to grow peanuts, corn...what else can't be grown?
Zhizhu Xiaozhu didn’t know the difficulty of growing tea. At this moment, he only had a good impression of Boss Chang, so he nodded:
"Okay, there are a lot of tea leaves, I will buy more when the time comes - picking will also require more people, right? Then there will be work in the village again."
She remembered this when she said this: "By the way, the electric modification is about to begin! This summer, you can turn on the air conditioner at home up and down the mountain without worrying about being unable to carry it."
This is really good news!
Song Tan sighed and looked at Party Secretary Xiao Zhu meaningfully: "The leaders of our city are really resolute and resolute!"
Xiao Zhu, the branch secretary, smiled silently and asked another question out of curiosity:
“I see you have planted a lot of persimmon trees on the stone slope. Are they crisp persimmons or fire crystal persimmons?”
“All.”
“The original persimmon trees in that area have also been re-grafted. After all, they are big trees. It would be a pity to destroy them.”
That piece of wasteland is really huge. Brother Sun spent a month just cleaning up the land. Now the seeds of wild chrysanthemums have been sown.
It’s just that the sunflowers have to be planted a little later, for fear of being frozen by the cold air again.
Xiao Zhu, the branch secretary, remembered that everyone had been working for the old Song family since the beginning of the spring, and they had never been idle every day. At this moment, he was smiling from ear to ear:
“It’s good, it’s good! There is work to do in the village. Only if everyone stays down can the development be better. Otherwise, it all depends on your family, and no matter how hard you try, it won’t be able to make it happen.”
Song Tan was also happy: "Yes, why don't we do such drastic work if everyone stays in the village? Otherwise, we won't be able to find workers, and we won't be able to farm the land."
The emo energy hasn't passed yesterday... I just lay down all day! ε=(ο｀*)))Alas.
Good morning.
Let’s start with these today. Cheer up tomorrow!
The beginning of spring is accelerating, because many plantings have already been written at the beginning, so I won’t repeat them!
