Now is the slack time for farming. Song Sancheng has called all the men and women in the village, those in their thirties and fifties, who can work hard, to come over - the weather waits for no one, so if you finish cleaning up now, you will have to sow seeds into the ground in the spring.
Song Tan’s plan was clear and clear——
The grass in the chestnut forest needs to be cleared, and the old 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, milkvetch has been planted in the past month or two. After the milkvetch has bloomed, it is almost time to plow it again and prepare to plant rice and vegetables.
Some seeds can be grown as seedlings after a while.
We also have to find local chickens and ducks, and we have to make appointments with people to hold piglets. With so many people, we have to arrange meals every day...
Song Sancheng and Wu Lan are busy running around every day, where are they looking after their 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 say a word of praise after seeing this!
But Wu Lan 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... Wu Lan 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 said anything at this moment.
The couple spent the night calculating accounts, labor, machines, bacteria, chickens, ducks, piglets, fertilizers...
Throw 60,000 yuan into it and it will just make a noise.
After another calculation, this amount of money can last until the end of April, and at most it can harvest a patch of milkvetch.
Wulan still had 60,000 yuan from his family, but seeing that the child was unreliable, Wulan couldn't bear the thought of taking the money now!
60,000 yuan. If there was nothing big, the couple would have to save for two years!
Song Sancheng and Wu Lan were so worried that their hair turned white.
They think that raising children is a debt. This girl has been obedient and sensible for 20 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...
Wu Lan 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, however, 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.
"It's better that 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: the poor background of a tenant farmer in a typical landlord's family.
In his eyes, there was 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, we don't see the foster children a few times throughout the year. If Tan Tan comes back to farm, if we hire 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 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 Qiao Qiao. 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 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 in mind. 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 not been in good health in the past few years, and the children are not allowed to plant more land. They can still keep a vegetable garden at the door——
It was leisure time, but the old couple just couldn't cheer up.
Dozing off during the day and unable to sleep at night.
I have been looking for some small things to do every day, and now I am looking at the large piece of land that has been allocated, and if nothing else, I feel calm.
During the day, they did what they could. Song Youde went to the fields to help clean up the weeds, and Wang Lifen helped her 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 beautiful that he couldn't help but arrange it again:
"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, so it's hard to find them."
Wang Lifen also nodded:
"I happen to eat a lot of meat in winter, so I've saved up all the eggs. We'll pick them up first when the lights are on later."
"And that duck, there is a duck seller. Their ducks don't get sick, they grow strong, and they eat well. I'll go and find out about them tomorrow."
Song Youde frowned again: "Don't do too much. In the past few years, either here has been blocked or there has been bird flu or swine fever. 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 out 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 grandson would come back to live in our old house on the mountain. 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 only has the first three or five 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..."
