Chapter 129: Rice

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

Saying that the pregnancy check-up on Monday is to go on Monday.

There was no appointment for the 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, and Shi Yaoqing, a driver, just filled the car.

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 70s, 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 his grandfather 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!"

"It's true," said my grandfather. "The family has grown so much land, and every time someone is invited to plant rice, it costs thousands of yuan. This is when our family has a large number of people."

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

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

When it rains, the seedlings need to be planted, 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 obsessed with relying on the land to make a living.

Especially as young people are busy going out to work to earn money, leaving behind some left-behind elders and left-behind children,

and a small number of families who stay home.

The purpose of these people farming, some people just want to eat the food grown by their own family and save a little to buy it, 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 the family is together, that is the real happiness and joy.

Many of those who go out to work 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 annual income can reach more than 100,000 yuan.

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 consideration.

If it is possible, who does not want to be filial to the elderly at home, and who wants to be separated from their children, they 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, the middle-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 seedlings in the south planted now?"

My grandfather explained, "The transplanted seedlings now belong to the mid-season rice. We belong to the south, and we can grow two seasons of rice. As for the early rice, the seedlings are selected in the second month of the lunar calendar to start raising the seedlings, and the seedlings can be planted around the Qingming Festival in March. What about the late rice? Generally, the seedlings are raised in mid-to-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 planting them in May.”

"Oh, so that's how 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 being filled, 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 matures 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 all, he pulled up his trousers and planned to go to the ground.

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

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

His family conditions were good since he was a child. Even though he was forced to go to the ground by his father when he was a child, it has been so long that he can't remember whether he was afraid of these things at that time.

However, he said he wanted to go 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 wanted to cry. If Grandpa Gu was bitten by a leech, what would it feel like?

As soon as Grandpa Gu gritted his teeth, he fell to the ground.

Following the example of my grandfather, I grabbed a bunch of seedlings in the field.

Grandpa instructed him on the side and said, "Take two of the small plants and insert them, and the large plants will be inserted into one. The distance between the front and rear 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 plant them.

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

Grandpa, "..."

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

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

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

Grandpa Gu, "..."

Then he bent down and lowered his head, picked up a strong seedling, and gently planted it in the ground.

Then the seedlings fell.

Grandpa Gu, "..."

Grandpa, "..."
