i have a small world

"Finally, another row of rice has been planted. Pingping, Jingjing, you guys have to work hard! According to your current speed, it will take me two days to plant the rice of this acre of land. Don't be fooled by those The kids are down, they are progressing faster than you now."

Zhao Chaogang got up and wiped the sweat off his forehead. He hadn't farmed for more than ten years. Today, he accompanied the children of the Liu family to farm, and his hands were indeed a lot rusty.

"Chao Gang, this farming is really too difficult, Sister Pingping, we still hand over our task to Chao Gang, we will help Aunt Zhao make lunch, there are so many of us, Aunt Zhao and the others must be too busy, Sister Pingping ,what do you think?"

Liu Jingjing was covered in mud. For her who had never planted rice in the field, Liu Jingjing was lucky not to turn into a ball of black mud. Look at those Liu family children, all mud monkeys.

"Well, Jingjing, you are right. Aunt Zhao and the others only have three of them. It would be a mess to cook meals for so many of us. Let's help Aunt Zhao and the others."

Facing the problem of farming, Li Liping obviously retreated: "Chao Gang, we are going to help Aunt Zhao and the others make lunch, and we will entrust you with the task of our acre of land. Chao Gang, you have to work hard!" !"

The voice of Li Liping's words is still in Zhao Chaogang's ears, but the figures of Li Liping and Liu Jingjing have disappeared. Obviously, Pingping and Jingjing escaped by using lightness kung fu.

"These two guys were so interested in farming just now, but now they have retreated early and entrusted themselves with the tasks they should complete. What a headache!"

Zhao Chaogang hasn't farmed for more than ten years, and his skills are really unfamiliar. Besides, even if Zhao Chaogang's skills are not unfamiliar, Zhao Chaogang's farming at that time was still a soy sauce.

Zhao Chaogang's family has no paddy fields since childhood, only some dry fields, but Zhao Chaogang's grandmother's house has a lot of paddy fields.Whenever the rice is ripe or rice seedlings are planted, Zhao Chaogang's family of three will go to his grandmother's house to help with work. Zhao Chaogang learned the technique of planting rice at that time.

When Zhao Chaogang entered the fifth grade and his academic performance got better and better, the grandmother's family would not let Zhao Chaogang go to the field anymore, at most they would let Zhao Chaogang drag those straws or something.

Zhao Chaogang remembered that at that time, his third uncle offered him a price of [-] cents for dragging the straw. At that time, he was so hard.Thinking about it now, Zhao Chaogang misses that time very much, the time at that time was really beautiful!

Especially in summer, as long as Zhao Chaogang went to his grandmother's house, several uncles would take him to fish at night, catch snails, and frogs, but every time he went, the third uncle would play tricks on Zhao Chaogang.Zhao Chaogang clearly remembered every time he went back to Zhao Yeyu, and the one that impressed Zhao Chaogang the most was when Zhao Chaogang was nine years old.

In the evening of that summer vacation, Zhao Chaogang and his children went to Zhaoye Fish with a few uncles, and the harvest was very rich. Most of the fish and a dozen frogs in the bucket, just when everyone wanted to go back, the third uncle told Zhao Chao Gang, under the rock in front, there is a big fish, Zhao Chao Gang believed it was true, and moved forward to remove the rock.

There was indeed something under the boulder, but it was not a big fish, but a cauliflower snake with two thumbs thick. Zhao Chaogang was scared to death, but the third uncle laughed heartlessly. (Cauliflower snake is what we call Wang Jin snake)
After returning home that day, my third uncle was beaten up by my grandmother. Even my grandfather, who didn’t speak much, said a few words to my third uncle. Of course, as compensation for me, I ate the frog meat that originally belonged to my third uncle that night. Even the cauliflower snake that made me cry that day was made into a dish by my grandma for me to eat the next day.Up to now, Zhao Chaogang still clearly remembers the delicious taste of the cauliflower snake.

Recalling these things, Zhao Chaogang showed a sweet smile on his face. At that time, Zhao Chaogang was the happiest time. He really missed the creek at grandma’s house, the fish, frogs and all kinds of fish in the creek. water snake, cauliflower snake.

"Chao Gang, do you still have seedlings? If you have any, throw some over here. I've run out of seedlings here."

The words of Zhao Laogen, who was planting seedlings not far away, interrupted Zhao Chaogang's nostalgia for his childhood. However, Zhao Chaogang has decided to go back recently to see his old grandmother and those children full of childhood memories. Fields, streams.

"Uncle Zhao, I have already used up the seedlings here, and almost all the seedlings at the side of the rice field are also used up. Uncle Zhao, I will go with you to pick up the seedlings."

Zhao Laogen's family has already planted rice with a rice transplanter for dozens of acres of rice, leaving only one acre of rice field. This is because Zhao Chaogang had discussed with Zhao Laogen a long time ago and wanted to use their rice field for exercise. The children of the Liu family let them know the hard-won food and the hardships of farmers farming, and use farming to exercise their physique and willpower.

Zhao Chaogang believes that the people cultivated in this way will never back down when encountering difficulties in the future.If the Liu family wants to rise, what they need is such a strong-willed person.

"Okay, the rice seedling field is right there, you and I can go to pick up the seedlings together. However, Chao Gang, your farming skills are still not good. You see, these rice seedlings of yours are not solid enough and not neat enough."

Zhao Laogen just came to Zhao Chaogang's side. After seeing the seedlings Zhao Chaogang planted, his brows frowned.The yield of seedlings planted according to Zhao Chaogang's planting method is definitely much lower. Zhao Chaogang's seedlings are planted too shallow, which is likely to cause the roots of the seedlings to rot, thereby reducing production.

"Forget it, let's go to plant seedlings first, and I will teach you how to plant seedlings when I come back?"

Zhao Laogen didn't plan to say anything. After all, Zhao Chaogang looked like a person from the city. He didn't know that it was normal to grow rice. Even his youngest son didn't know how to grow rice.

"Chao Gang, you take those two seedling raising stools with you first, they will be useful when you will tie up the seedlings."

Seedling-raising stool is actually a chair made of wood specially used for people to sit in paddy fields. The seedlings in the paddy fields do not grow very high, only about 30 centimeters in height. Therefore, if farmers want to raise seedlings, they have to Bending down and bowing the head to pull out the seedlings, it doesn’t matter for a short time like this, but after a long time, it will be unbearable, especially the neck and waist will be so sore, so there will be such seedlings.

The height of the seedling horse is about half a meter, and the lower part is a wooden board with a raised front end and a smooth bottom. Therefore, when a person sits on the seedling horse and pulls the seedlings, the pressure on the bottom of the seedlings is greatly reduced by this board, and it will not Get stuck in the field mud that is still a little muddy.

"Hey, I see." Zhao Chaogang picked up two seedling raising stools and followed Zhao Laogen to the seedling field.

"You watch how I raise the seedlings first, and when you feel that you have mastered the trick, come down and raise the seedlings by yourself."

Zhao Laogen took the seedling stool from Zhao Chaogang's hand and entered the seedling field.Zhao Laogen is indeed an expert in farming, and he is very skilled in raising seedlings.

Zhao Laogen sits at the front end of the seedling-lifting stool. Since the front end of the seedling-lifting stool is tilted up, in the process of pulling the seedlings, after Zhao Laogen pulls a seedling beside him, he does not need to stand up deliberately and move forward. To move the seedling-lifting stool, you only need to sit on the seedling-lifting stool and use a little strength, and the seedling-lifting stool will slide forward along the wet and slippery field mud, which is fast and labor-saving.

After watching it for a while, Zhao Chaogang understood the mystery, and happily took the seedling raising stool to the field to pick up the seedlings.

"Chao Gang, you are really a good farmer. Just watched it for a while, and the action of picking up the seedlings is so proficient. Compared with me, a veteran who has been farming for decades, I don't want to let it go. Yes, you are a good farmer."

Zhao Laogen just happened to see Zhao Chaogang go down to the field to raise seedlings in less than a minute, and he was a little worried that Zhao Chaogang would make a fool of himself, but it turned out that his worry was in vain.

Zhao Chaogang's first few strokes were indeed a bit rusty, but in less than a dozen seconds, Zhao Chaogang's proficiency in picking seedlings was comparable to that of a veteran like him.If it weren't for the unfamiliarity of the seedlings at the beginning, Zhao Laogen was convinced that Zhao Chaogang was raising the seedlings for the first time, but Zhao Laogen really didn't believe it. Zhao Chaogang was so skilled in the movements.

It seems that geniuses do exist, at least Zhao Chaogang is definitely a genius in farming.

"Chao Gang, we have brought you snacks and tea, you and Uncle Zhao come up and have some snacks."

Just as Zhao Chaogang and Zhao Laogen were planting seedlings in the paddy field, Li Liping and Liu Jingjing walked towards this side with two large baskets.

Farming is very tiring. Therefore, when farmers are farming, they will eat some snacks halfway to replenish their energy.The morning snack is generally around 09:30, while the afternoon snack is around three o'clock.

"Understood, let's go up immediately." Zhao Chaogang replied loudly: "Uncle Zhao, let's go up and eat some snacks to fill our stomachs and replenish our energy. Farming is really a tiring job, and I really feel hungry now. "

"Okay, let's have some snacks first. With you, a good seedling planter, you can take a rest." Zhao Laogen did not delay, and got up with Zhao Chaogang and came to the edge of the field, and began to eat his heart.

"Uncle Zhao, take your time here. I'll go and see those children, so as to save them trouble. Those seedlings just now, if these little guys hadn't wasted them, there would be no need for us to come to the seedling field to grow seedlings. Uncle Zhao, You rest first, and when I come back, we will plant seedlings together."

"Okay, you go, don't worry about me here."

"Okay!" (To be continued.)
