   Chapter 293 Qi: Qingming (one more)

  In the shed of the Shi family.

   Uncle took out bags of small seeds from the big plastic bag.

   There are eggplant, tomato, cucumber and cabbage, all of which are common crops in rural areas.

   Auntie looked at these seeds and asked with a smile, "These seeds are even and full, very good."

Uncle    nodded and said, "Well, it's really good! My sister said that these seeds were obtained from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences by her trustee."

   When she heard that it was the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, the aunt suddenly lost her doubts, she said with a smile, "I didn't expect that my sister would be so concerned about Mingming's contracting of land!"

Uncle    said, "Yeah. I thought my brother-in-law and the others would not agree with Ming Ming to contract the land. After all, the family is so rich and there is such a big company waiting for Ming Ming to inherit."

   Who would have expected that they would take such a fancy to Mingming's contracted land for farming.

The aunt also said, "Two days ago, my sister gave some potions in glass bottles with words I didn't know on them. She said it was given by the Academy of Agricultural Sciences. After the seeds were sown, I would use a The bottle of potion is divided into ten parts, poured into buckets, and then watered on the seeds. Husband, what kind of potion do you think this is? It is transparent, colorless, odorless and tasteless, just like water, we have never seen it before. !"

   Uncle said, "No matter what kind of potion it is, what my sister and brother-in-law give will never be poison!"

   "Pfft!" After hearing this, the aunt couldn't help laughing and said, "Husband, you have learned to be humorous."

  Gu Qingming gave dozens of seeds, but sowing seeds was not a tiring job, so the eldest uncle and aunt came.

  The land for sowing seeds is all gathered up, and all the things that should be ready for breeding are ready.

   So, sow a seed, water it again, and it will be good soon.

  …

   When Gu Qingming was confinement, the villagers outside had already started to do farm work.

   Farmers grow crops, most of the time according to the solar terms.

   In January, the small cold is followed by the big cold, and the beginning of spring in February is continuous with rain;

   Jingzhe Spring Equinox is in March, Qingming Valley Rain in April;

   Lixia and Xiaoman in May, and summer solstice in June;

   July is the small heat and the big heat, and the beginning of autumn is the summer of August;

   In September, the white dew meets the autumn equinox, and the cold dew and frost fall in October;

   Each solar term has a different meaning for farmers.

   Qingming, the solar term, is a signal and symbol of the busy start of the year!

   Qingming is both a solar term and a festival.

   "The Collection of the Seventy-two Hours of the Moon Order" said: "The March Festival,...at this time, all things are clean and tidy and clear."

   Therefore, "Qingming" means the melting of ice and snow, the green vegetation, the clear weather, and the prosperity of all things. "

   "Full-scale willows and green silk smoke, draw the Qingming February sky", "Qingming peach and plum laugh at the festival", "Yuzu Suburb's grass and trees are soft" and other famous sentences are the vivid depiction of the phenology of heaven and earth during the Qingming season.

  The "Huainanzi·Tianxun" in the Western Han Dynasty said: "On the fifteenth day after the spring equinox, when Douzhi B, the Qingming wind will arrive."

   "Qingming Feng" is the wind of freshness and clarity.

   Qingming Festival is a traditional festival in China, and it is also the most important sacrificial festival. It is a day for ancestor worship and tomb sweeping.

  Before and after the Qingming Festival, the spring is bright, the peach blossoms are beginning to bloom, the willows are green, the warbler and the grass are growing, the rapeseed flowers are fragrant, and the countryside is wild.

  Before and after the Qingming Festival, plant melons and beans!

   During the Qingming Festival, vegetation germinates, apricots bloom, and there is a busy scene of spring ploughing in and out of the south of the Yangtze River.

   "Qingming season, wheat grows three festivals", the wheat in the south of the Huanghuai area is about to boot, and the rapeseed is already in full bloom.

  The dry cropping season in the north, the early and middle rice in the south of the Yangtze River are suitable for mass planting, and it is necessary to seize the opportunity to catch the clear and early sowing.

   "The pear blossoms are in the clear sky". At this time, a variety of fruit trees are entering the flowering period. Attention should be paid to artificially assisted pollination to improve the fruit setting rate.

  The planting of early rice in South China should be carried out in time, and fertilization should be carried out in time.

   Corn, sorghum, and cotton will also be sown everywhere. "Mingqian tea, two buds", the new buds of the tea tree are growing and prosperous, and attention should be paid to the prevention and control of pests and diseases.

"Raining during the Qingming Festival" refers to the climatic characteristics of the south of the Yangtze River. At this time, it is often cloudy and sunny, and abundant water can generally meet the needs of crop growth. What is annoying and cannot be ignored is the wet stains caused by excessive rain and The dangers of widowhood.

  …

  Gu Qingming had just had a confinement period. He looked up at the peasant who was bending over to throw things outside, and his eyebrows twitched slightly.

   Grandma came over with a bowl of chicken soup and asked, "Nan, what's wrong with you?"

  Gu Qingming pointed to the outside and asked, "Grandma, what are those people doing? Are they planting seeds?"

   Grandma nodded and said, "Yes, rice seeds are being planted!"

  Gu Qingming's beautiful eyes suddenly widened, she asked with a little doubt, "So plant now? Is it early rice?"

   "That's right, it's early rice!" Grandma nodded.

   "Why are you planting at this time? I used to think that the planting was done just after the New Year?" Gu Qingming asked the rice with some confusion.

"Haha, early rice is usually planted before the Qingming Festival. Generally, the seedlings grow from 21 days to a month, and then they can be transplanted into the fields." Grandma explained, "Many crops are planted before and after the Qingming Festival. The ones that go down, such as peanuts, soybeans, sweet potatoes, etc., it can be said that most crops are planted around Qingming, and then they can be harvested in about 120 days!"

  Gu Qingming said with a smile, "I only knew about the Qingming Festival before, and I only knew about the Qingming Festival. It turned out that in the countryside, the Qingming Festival turned out to be the beginning of farming crops in the countryside."

   Grandma nodded and said, "Indeed! We villagers do things according to the solar terms. When the solar term is reached, we do what stage."

   This is the law and sign of farmers' busy farming work.

Grandma thought of something and said, "Nangnan, you can rest assured that you are confinement. We also sowed the seeds you gave to your uncles. After a while, we will ask someone to remove them. And this rice, the seeds are also sown. down!"

  Gu Qingming nodded and said, "Thank you, uncles!"

   Grandma waved her hand and said, "You stupid child, what are you polite. The more than 200 acres of land you contracted is not only yours, but your uncles also have a share."

  Gu Qingming said hesitantly, "But I think the shares for the uncles are less!"

Grandma waved her hand and said with a smile, "A lot, a lot. Speaking of which, they took a big advantage. You invested millions, but they didn't invest a cent. When they make money in the future, they will still pay. 30% of the points. Nan Nan, just confine yourself, don't think about it so much."
