   Chapter 129 Rice (two more)

   The family is very concerned about Gu Qingming's body and the fetus in his womb.

   said that the pregnancy checkup on Monday means that I will go there on Monday.

   There was no appointment for this prenatal check-up, so all kinds of errands were needed, and the errands were handed over to my sister-in-law Zhou Xiaoyu.

   Grandma and Grandma Gu accompanied them, plus a driver Shi Yaoqing, and the car was just full.

Grandpa Gu followed his grandfather to the field. At first, he stood on the ridge and watched everyone work, but when he saw that grandpa, a man in his seventies, was still planting rice in the field, his heart suddenly moved, without saying a word, Take off your fancy shoes and go down.

   He now wants to experience what it's like to do farm work.

   When he was a child, he was taken to the fields by his father to experience the hard life of farmers. Later, he never went to the fields again.

   "Hey, my in-laws, why are you taking off your shoes?" Grandpa was taken aback when he saw Grandpa taking off his shoes, "Are you going to come down?"

   Grandpa Gu said with a smile, "Well, I also want to experience the feeling of planting rice."

   He glanced at an empty field that had been sorted out and asked, "It's all artificially transplanted, is there no rice transplanter?"

   Grandpa smiled and said, "No, the family is considering this."

   Grandpa Gu said, "The manual planting is time-consuming and labor-intensive!"

   "That's true." My grandfather said, "The family has grown so much land, and every time someone is invited to plant rice, the wages are thousands of dollars. This is still in the case of our large family."

   They have a lot of family members, and now they are helping each other during the busy farming season.

   is only mid-season rice, which needs to catch up with the rain.

  When it rains, you need to plant the seedlings, so that people will not work too dry, and the planted seedlings will grow better.

  Shibei Village is located in the southern region, where the climate conditions allow two crops of rice to be grown a year.

  With the improvement of people's living standards, people are no longer attached to the fields as if they depended on the land for their lives.

  Especially with the young people nowadays, they are busy going out to work to earn money, leaving behind some left-behind elderly people and left-behind children, and a few families who stayed at home.

   The purpose of these people's farming is that some people just want to eat the food grown by their own homes and save a little to buy them, but there are also a few people who rely on farming to maintain their family income.

   This minority are some middle-aged people at home, and their land is more than ten acres.

   Just like Gu Qingming's family, except for the two cousins ​​who went to college, everyone chose to stay at home.

   When a family is together, that is true happiness and joy.

   For those who go out to work, many are helpless.

  If they farm at home, the family income is not high, and they can't support the family at all, and they have to buy a house and a car and other places with money.

   But Gu Qingming's uncles are different.

   They rely on farming, and their family can earn more than 100,000 yuan a year.

  It’s perfectly fine to have such an income in the countryside, so why choose to go outside to earn money?

   Going out to work and leaving the elderly and children behind is a helpless choice under the balance.

  If you can, who doesn't want to be filial to the elderly at home, and who wants to be separated from their children, you can get together at the end of the year, which is also during the festival.

The young people in the family have all gone out, and the old people and children who are left behind can’t plant much land and don’t have that much time. Moreover, basically every household has no shortage of food and clothing. The purpose of farming is to plant it and let the family grow. One year is enough to eat.

   Therefore, many people now choose to plant two crops of rice a year, which is the mid-season rice.

   Grandpa Gu looked at everyone bending over and bowing their heads and planting the seedlings very seriously, and asked suspiciously, "Why are the southern seedlings planted now?"

My grandfather explained, "Transplanting seedlings now belongs to mid-season rice. We belong to the south and can grow two seasons of rice. As for early rice, seedlings are selected in February of the lunar calendar to start raising seedlings, and in March around Qingming, seedlings can be planted. What about late rice? , Generally, the seedlings are raised in the middle and late May, and it is best to plant the seedlings before and after the severe heat in June. As for the mid-season, we are now planting the seedlings, raising the seedlings in April and sowing in May. "

   "Oh, so that's what it is!" Grandpa Gu nodded, "I thought it was planting three-season rice."

Grandpa shook his head and said, "It is difficult for us to grow three-season rice here. The main reason is that there is not enough sunlight. If there is insufficient sunlight, the rice grains will not be full. At that time, the food is not very delicious, and the sales are not very good. It's a waste of money. strength."

  Grandpa Gu glanced at an empty field that was filling up, and then looked not far away, a field of green seedlings, pointed to it and said, "Does that belong to early rice?"

"That's right, it's early rice!" said my grandfather, "now these seedlings are wrapped in rice flowers, and they are about to bloom. Early rice will mature a little earlier, and it takes about 110 days from seedling to harvest. For middle and late rice, it takes about 110 days. 120 days or so."

   "It's only ten days away!" Grandpa Gu was a little surprised.

   After saying that, he pulled up his trousers and planned to go to the ground.

  Grandpa said with a smile, "My dear family, there are leeches in this field, and some dead earthworms, ants, aren't you afraid?"

   Grandpa Gu, who was in high spirits to go to the ground, felt a chill all over his body, and his hair was about to stand upside down.

   He had good family conditions since he was a child. Even if he was forced to go to the ground by his father when he was a child, it has been too long, and he can't remember whether he was afraid of these things.

   However, he said that he wanted to go down to the ground, so he had to go down, otherwise, wouldn’t he be embarrassed in front of his in-laws?

   Grandpa Gu said with a smile, "Don't be afraid, I've been to the ground before! These things are just for pediatrics!"

  Gu's family is afraid of bugs.

  Gu Qingming was bitten by an ant and felt like crying. If Grandpa Gu was bitten by a leech, what would he feel like?

   Grandpa Gu went to the ground as soon as he gritted his teeth.

   imitating his grandfather's example, grabbed a bunch of seedlings in the field.

  Grandpa instructed him and said, "Take two of the small plants and insert them, and the large plants will be inserted with one. The distance between the front, back, left and right of each bead is about ten centimeters, and then each row and column are neatly aligned."

   Grandpa Gu, "..."

  Among the seedlings, I carefully looked at them, picked out two small ones, and tried to insert them.

   Then, a whole seedling was about to be planted, and a little leaf tail was exposed.

  Grandpa, "..."

   Grandpa Gu looked at the seedlings that others had planted and asked, "Isn't that so?"

  Grandpa said, "This seedling doesn't need to be planted too deep in the ground, just bury the root system so that it won't fall down. It will grow on its own in two days!"

   After saying that, he pulled out the seedlings that Grandpa Gu had planted, and planted them in the ground.

   Grandpa Gu, "..."

   Bends down and bows his head to pick up a sturdy seedling and gently plant it in the ground.

   Then, the seedling fell.

   Grandpa Gu, "..."

  Grandpa, "..."
