Chapter eight hundred and sixty second seedlings

"Finally, I have planted another row of rice. Pingping, Jingjing, you have to work hard! At your current speed, I will only see two days if I want to plant rice on this acre of land. Don't be compared by those children later. Their progress is faster than you."

Zhao Chaogang got up and wiped the sweat from his forehead. He had not farmed for more than ten years. Today, he accompanied the children from the Liu family to farm. He was indeed much more unfamiliar with his hands.

"Chao Gang, this farming is really difficult. Sister Pingping, we will give our mission to Chao Gang. We will help Aunt Zhao cook lunch. There are so many of us, Aunt Zhao and the others will definitely be too busy. Sister Pingping, what do you think?"

Liu Jingjing was covered in mud. For her who had never gone to the fields to plant rice, it was already considered Liu Jingjing's luck to not turn into a ball of black mud. Look at the children of the Liu family, and they were all mud monkeys.

"Well, Jingjing, you're right. Aunt Zhao and the others are only three. You will be very busy when cooking foods with so many of us. Let's go and help Aunt Zhao and the others."

Faced with the problem of farming, Li Liping obviously backed down: "Chao Gang, we are going to help Aunt Zhao and the others cook lunch. We will give you the task in our acre of fields. Chao Gang, you have to work hard!"

The voice of Li Liping's words was still in Zhao Chaogang's ears, but the figures of Li Liping and Liu Jingjing were gone. It was obvious that Pingping and Jingjing and others escaped with their light skills.

"These two guys were so interested in farming just now. Now they have stepped back early and handed over the tasks they should have completed to themselves. It's such a headache!"

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

Zhao Chaogang's family has no paddy fields since childhood, only some dry fields, but Zhao Chaogang's grandmother's family has many 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's technique of planting rice was learned at that time.

When Zhao Chaogang entered the fifth grade and his academic performance became better and better, his grandmother's family would no longer let Zhao Chaogang go to the fields, and at most he would let Zhao Chaogang drag on the straws and other things.

Zhao Chaogang remembered that at that time, his third uncle offered him a trip to straw to give him a cent. At that time, he was exercising his strength. Now when he thinks about it, Zhao Chaogang missed the time at that time very much. The time at that time was so beautiful!

Especially in summer, whenever Zhao Chaogang went to his grandmother's house, his uncles would take him to take night fish and catch snails and frogs. However, every time he went, his third uncle would tease Zhao Chaogang. Zhao Chaogang clearly remembered every time he went back to take night fish, and the one who impressed Zhao Chaogang the most was the time when Zhao Chaogang was nine years old.

That summer evening, Zhao Chaogang and the others followed their uncles to take night fish, and the harvest was very abundant. Most of the buckets of fish and more than a dozen frogs. When everyone wanted to go back, the third uncle told Zhao Chaogang that there was a big fish under the stone in front. Zhao Chaogang believed it and went straight forward and moved away to beat the stone.

There was indeed something under the big stone, but it was not a big fish, but a cauliflower snake with two fingers as thick as a thumb. After Zhao Chaogang moved the stone, this cauliflower snake directly formed a snake formation. The high snake head scared Zhao Chaogang half to death, but his third uncle laughed heartlessly on the side. (Cauliflower snake is the name of Wang Jinsnake in our place)

After returning home that day, my third uncle was beaten up by my grandmother. Even my grandfather, who didn't say much, said a few words to my third uncle. Of course, as compensation for me, I enjoyed the frog meat that originally belonged to my third uncle that night. Even the cauliflower snake that scared me to cry that day was made into a dish by my grandmother the next day. Until now, Zhao Chaogang still clearly remembers the deliciousness of the cauliflower snake.

When Zhao Chaogang recalled these things, a sweet smile appeared on his face. That was Zhao Chaogang's happiest time. I really miss the stream at my grandmother's house, the fish, frogs, all kinds of water snakes, and cauliflower snakes in the stream.

"Chao Gang, do you still have seedlings there? If so, throw them over and I will use up all the seedlings here."

Zhao Laogen, who was planting rice seedlings not far away, interrupted Zhao Chaogang's nostalgia for childhood time. However, Zhao Chaogang had decided to go back recently to see his old grandmother and the fields and streams full of memories of his childhood.

"Uncle Zhao, my seedlings have been used up, and the seedlings beside the rice fields have been almost used up. Uncle Zhao, I'll go with you to get the seedlings."

The other dozens of acres of rice in Zhao Laogen's family have been planted with a rice transplanter, leaving only one acre of rice fields. This is because Zhao Chaogang had already discussed with Zhao Laogen and wanted to use their rice fields to train the children of the Liu family, so that they can know that the grain is hard-won and the hardship of farmers in farming, and use farming to train their physique and willpower.

Zhao Chaogang believes that the people cultivated in this way will never retreat when they encounter difficulties in the future. What the Liu family needs to rise is such a strong-willed person.

"Okay, the seedling field is there, you and I will go to get the seedlings. However, Chaogang, your farming skills are still not good. Look, your rice seedlings are not so solid and neat enough."

Zhao Laogen just came to Zhao Chaogang, and after seeing the seedlings planted by Zhao Chaogang, his brows frowned. The yield of seedlings planted according to Zhao Chaogang's planting method is definitely much worse. Zhao Chaogang's seedlings are planted too shallowly, which can easily cause the seedlings to rot and thus reduce their yield.

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

Zhao Laogen was not going to say anything. After all, Zhao Chaogang was a person in the city at first glance. He didn’t know that it was normal to plant rice. Even his youngest son, he still didn’t know how to plant rice.

"Chao Gang, you can bring the two seedlings to the top first, and it will be useful when you tie the seedlings later."

A seedling stool is actually a kind of wood-made chair for people to sit in paddy fields. The seedlings are not tall in paddy fields, only about 30 cm tall. Therefore, if farmers want to raise seedlings, they have to bend over and lower their heads to pull them. It doesn’t matter if they bend over and lower their heads in a short time, but they will not be able to stand it over time, especially the neck and waist will be sore, so there will be such a seedling horse.

The height of the seedling horse is about half a meter, and the lower part is a wooden board with a front end raised and a smooth bottom. Therefore, when a person sits on the seedling horse to pull the seedlings, the pressure on the bottom of the seedlings will be greatly reduced due to this wooden board, so that it will not be trapped in the muddy field mud.

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

"You can see how I raised the seedlings first. I feel that I have mastered the tricks and then I will get the seedlings down by myself."

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

Zhao Laogen sat at the front of the seedling stool. Since the front of the seedling stool was raised, during the process of pulling seedlings, after Zhao Laogen pulled a piece of seedlings beside him, he did not need to deliberately get up and move the seedling stool forward. He just needed to ride on the seedling stool and use a little force. The seedling stool would slide forward along the slippery field mud, which was both quick and labor-saving.

After seeing it, Zhao Chaogang understood the mystery and took the seedlings to the field with a stool.

"Chao Gang, you are really a good farmer. After watching for a while, you are so skillful in the action of starting seedlings. Compared to me, a veteran who has been farming for decades, you don't want to let me go. It's great, you are a good farmer."

Zhao Laogen just saw Zhao Chaogang go down the field to raise seedlings in less than a minute. He was a little worried that Zhao Chaogang would make a fool of himself, but it turned out that he was worried for nothing.

Zhao Chaogang was indeed a little unfamiliar with the first few moves, but in less than ten seconds, Zhao Chaogang's proficiency in starting seedlings was not at ease than that of him, a veteran. If it weren't for the unfamiliarity in starting seedlings, Zhao Laogen was very convinced that Zhao Chaogang was the first time to start seedlings, Zhao Laogen really didn't believe it. It was Zhao Chaogang's first time to start seedlings and his movements were too proficient.

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

"Chao Gang, we're bringing you some snacks and tea. Come and have some snacks with Mr. Zhao."

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

Farming is a very tiring thing, so when farmers farm, they will eat some snacks halfway through to replenish their energy. The morning snacks are usually around 9:30, while the afternoon snacks are around 3:00.

"I know, let's go up right away." 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, go and have some snacks first. With you, a good guy who can raise seedlings, you can rest anyway." Zhao Laogen did not postpone it, and got up with Zhao Chaogang and came to the edge of the field, and started eating snacks.

"Uncle Zhao, you eat here slowly. I'll go see the children and save them from making trouble. The seedlings just now. If these little guys hadn't wasted, how could we have to come to the seedlings in the seedling fields? Uncle Zhao, you rest first, and we will get the seedlings together when I come back."

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

"Okay!"
