Rebirth of Jiuyouyan

Chapter 41 Planting Rice

To Shiyan's surprise, Xia Yue went to Bai's farm to help for several days in a row. After Steward Fang found out, he only went to Yun's house at night to report to him about Xi Jiuzui.The father-in-law and father-in-law also had an attitude of letting him do it.Dr. Shen took Xia Yue's pulse every day when he administered acupuncture to Shiyan, and also prepared a new medicinal bath prescription for the two of them. Xia Yue also asked for a few more, bought a large bath bucket, and sent them to the Bai family together. .

During the break, Xia Yue didn't care whether his clothes would be dirty or not, and sat with them directly on the ridge of the field, raising his hand to wipe off the sweat on his forehead, with mud on his hand, and wiped his handsome face into a painted face, A series of black marks.But that's it, in Shiyan's eyes, her husband is also unparalleled in handsomeness, but those black marks make him feel more attractive, and if he is not careful, he will be fascinated.Whenever this happens, the husband will notice it and turn his head to smile at him. That smile reflects the warm spring sun and looks extraordinarily warm and charming.

Once, Shi Yan even forgot that she was in the field, and went up to kiss her husband on the cheek.Before Xia Yue could react and grab him, he ran ten steps away like a rabbit, and continued to work.Xia Yue's expression was rippling from the sneak attack, he licked his lips, looked at the back not far away, and didn't go to catch him, and only kept the account till night.

Although the two of them secretly made out with each other from time to time, they were both serious and capable people after all, and they never let up in their work.Among all the farmers on the outskirts of the city, the Bai family was the fastest to prepare for transplanting rice seedlings.

Shi Yan took care of the seedlings very carefully, watching them grow up little by little, and when they almost reached their knees, they could finally be removed from the seedbed.

On the day of planting rice seedlings, Xia Yue got up early, and he was quite excited about the farm work he hadn't tried before.

If you want to say why he is so keen on working in the fields, it is certainly not because it is new for a while. Although it is his first contact with agriculture, as a wine lover, he has always known this sentence: wine making starts with rice planting of.In the past, the brewers went to the brewery to brew wine in winter, and went to the fields to plant rice in spring. They were Tibetans for half of the year and farmers for half of the time, but they had to deal with rice all year round.Xia Yue believes that to understand wine making, one must understand wine rice, and to understand wine rice, one must start with rice planting.Just looking at the harvested or even milled polished rice is not enough to truly understand rice. Master Yun also understood what he was thinking, and was surprised that his son did not need to ask for this understanding, so he let him do it.

The seedlings are growing well, so Yi Ao set up a cart for the ox, gathered up all the skins and scaffolding, piled them up, and took them home to prepare for them to be put away.The thing my brother-in-law gave is very useful. After cleaning and putting it away, it can be used again next year. The boy admires his brother-in-law very much.

Shi Yan looked at the seedlings she cared for carefully, and couldn't help but put on a smile on her face. Xia Yue looked at the seedlings, then at Shi Yan, and felt that both sides were pleasing.

However, I don't have time to show them slowly, and I don't know how many acres of fields can be planted today. The work of transplanting rice seedlings is all done by oneself. It is not an easy job to bow your back and bend over for a long time. Xia Yue knows very well that it will be difficult Fighting a tough battle, he has already rolled up his trouser legs and rolled up his sleeves, waiting for Fu Lang to teach him how to pick seedlings.

Seeing that her husband looked more active than herself, Shiyan also felt very motivated, so she bent down and showed him.

Shi Yan skillfully pulled out a handful of seedlings from the seedbed, just enough to measure with one hand, then tied up hay strips and threw them into the water behind her.

"Just pull it out. Don't pull it out too quickly. In fact, it doesn't matter if the roots are pulled off a little bit. This year's seedlings grow well and are not so fragile. It doesn't matter if you have some soil. You don't need to remove it. Just put it in the water, and pick it up when you walk back later.”

Listening to Shi Yan Chengjing's voice, Xia Yue obediently did as he said.His hands are bigger than Shi Yan's, and they are much more than Shi Yan's when he grabs them. Shi Yan saw that it didn't matter, so he learned to tie them with hay strips and put them behind his back.Soon Xia Yue became proficient, and his movements became quicker. The two of them bent over to work silently, while Father Bai and Yi Ao did not talk at the other end. For a while, only the sound of people walking in the paddy field could be heard. And the sound of seedlings falling into the water.

I don't know how many seedlings can be planted today. The Bai family is not in a hurry to take out all the seedlings. They only took a third of the seedlings, then took a dustpan and collected all the bundles of seedlings floating in the water. A field where rice seedlings are to be planted.

The ropes have been drawn in the field, and the straight ropes are the reference line for transplanting rice seedlings. A row should be inserted along the ropes and ridges, and then the second row should be aligned with the first row of seedlings and the rope. Each row can be inserted in four rows. Or five columns, Lang Guan has longer hands and feet, and usually five columns can be inserted in a row.Beginners often make mistakes, because they are a little worried about Xia Yue, so Shiyan does not go to the field, but guides her husband from the sidelines.

Xia Yue had some rough imagination, so Shi Yan told him first, and he memorized the method.Seeing Father Bai and Yi Ao bent down to work, he kissed Shi Yan secretly, and walked down the paddy field before Shi Yan could react.

He first stood by the ridge of the field, and threw the bundles of seedlings tied into the dustpan into the paddy field.He calculated the approximate space needed for a bunch of seedlings by referring to the interval at which Father Bai had already started planting in the next field, and then threw the seedlings to the right place.This is the trick to improve the efficiency of rice transplanting. If the seedling bundle is too far away, it will take time to fetch it. If it is needed, the seedling bundle is nearby, which can save time and make transplanting faster.When the seedlings in hand are planted, it is ideal to have new seedlings at hand.

After throwing away the seedlings, Xia Yue turned around, beckoned, and asked Shi Yan to come over and bend down to listen to him. He leaned into the other party's ear and said in a low voice, "Fu Lang, if you don't do well for your husband, remember to remind me immediately." For husband."

After speaking, he laughed a few times, then took a few steps back, bowed down and started planting rice seedlings.Shi Yan blushed immediately when she realized that, why did this person say such a thing at this time? Although there is no problem with what he said, no matter how you listen to it, it will make people think wrong.

Xia Yue teased her husband, and happily started transplanting rice seedlings for the first time in two lifetimes.Generally, three or five seedlings are planted together, but Father Bai said that this year's seedlings grow very well, and they can be planted in two or even one by one.With greater spacing, roots will also grow stronger and tillers will increase.

Untie the bundle of seedlings, carefully separate the seedlings, pinch them with your fingers, and insert them into the field. It is not pressed into the mud, but it feels as if they are put in together with the index finger.Xia Yue focused on planting seedlings one by one. He was a novice, so naturally he couldn't pursue speed.For the sake of efficiency, the farmer would not straighten his back during the transplanting process, and Xia Yue did not intend to lift his body. He calculated the distance between the seedlings and planted the seedlings steadily at his own pace.Shi Yan watched from the ridge of the field. Her husband was tall and his legs were shoulder-length. The span was wider than that of his father. With this advantage, he could plant six or seven rows of seedlings in a row.Shiyan felt that this would make him tired quickly, and he was a beginner, so he wanted him to only insert five rows first.

As a result, Xia Yue didn't even raise his head, and just replied with a smile: "Fu Lang, don't you know the best about your husband's physical strength?"

Shiyan was so blocked that she couldn't answer, she turned her eyes away from him, and then looked up at the sky, wondering if the sun had risen and why it was so hot.

Xia Yue finally made it to the first round when Yi Aodu had already started the second round.He straightened up, his back was sore obviously, but when he saw his own achievements in front of him, the straight and straight seedlings reflecting the light of the paddy field in the sun, he suddenly felt that this backache was nothing.

Shiyan looked at the seedlings planted by her husband and had nothing to say, not to mention that they were not planted crookedly at all, and the speed was much faster than she imagined.He already thought that his husband was Luo Yue's best Lang Guan, and at this moment he felt that his husband was omnipotent. Although he didn't say any words of praise, Xia Yue's heart was tickled by those eyes full of admiration. Regardless of the sticky dirt on his hands, he grabbed the person and took a bite.

"I...I'm going to work." Pushing Xia Yue's chest, Shi Yan knew that even if he said he was outside, this person would not have any scruples, and he didn't really hate him, so he didn't Can't protest.But at this moment, Xia Yue was sweating, and the strong aura of a gentleman enveloped him. Shi Yan felt his whole body was hot, and he was going to be dizzy. He could only say in a panic that he had to work, and hoped that her husband would let her go quickly.

Xia Yue kissed Fu Lang's forehead again before letting go.

After that, the two of them stopped talking and planted rice seedlings in silence together, bowed their bodies.When the sun was about to rise above their heads, they completed the transplanting of nearly three acres of land.

Putting away the rope in the field where the seedlings had been planted, Xia Yue turned around, waited for Shiyan to plant the last few rows of seedlings, and then pulled him up from the field.

The little brothers of the Bai family came back from school after class, and when they knew that their brother-in-law was here to help plant the rice seedlings, they ran directly to the field to look for their brother-in-law without returning home.Xia Yue and Shi Yan went to pull the rope for the fourth-acre field. While paying attention to keep the children from falling, they raised their voices to chat with them.

"These boys are here, I think we can't continue, let's send them home first." Xia Yue said to Shi Yan.

Shiyan is also very helpless, her younger brother likes Xia Yue very much, although it is a good thing, but coming to the field at this time will inevitably distract them.

After talking to Father Bai, Xia Yue and Shi Yan sent the younger brothers home, washed their hands, and refilled the small bamboo tube with water.Seeing that the brothers-in-law were all around him, Xia Yue took out the box of snacks that he brought today, let a group of snacks eat around him, and he picked up a few and sent them to Fu Lang's mouth.

Father Bai and Yi Ao both brought dry food to the field in the morning, and now they don't need to go out to deliver food, but Father Bai felt sorry for Er Bing and asked him if he wanted to take a break at noon.

"No need, daddy Yue, don't worry, I'm still very energetic," Xia Yue said with a smile, "I'll accompany my brothers, and I'll go back to the field in a while."

Daddy Bai looked at the sun, the sun in April wasn't that hot yet, so he didn't persuade Xia Yue anymore, he just told him to be careful not to get too tired.

Seeing that the brothers-in-law were full, and talking with them for a while, Shi Yan drove a few younger brothers to do their homework, and Xia Yue was able to escape.

The husband has been working all morning, and now he has to play with a few children, fearing that he will be troubled by his younger brothers, Shi Yan feels a little bit sorry.Xia Yue didn't take it seriously, he took Fu Lang's hand and walked to the Bai family's field, and said with a smile: "Your younger brother is so cute, I like to play with them, they are not foolish children, don't I'm worried that your husband is tired. Besides, you have to get used to being with your children now, and you will have experience in the future."

"You...why do you keep saying things like this today..." Shi Yan couldn't stand it any longer. This person has been saying embarrassing things since the morning. If he was in the room, he could say whatever he wanted, but he always said it outside. .Although I don't worry that other people will listen to it, but after all, it is broad daylight, and Shi Yan is a child who can't help but imagine after hearing it, and every time he imagines it, he must blush.

Xia Yue smiled, turned his head to look at him, with crooked eyes.

"I just think it's good to live with you like this."

Xia Yue's voice was very soft, as if he had spoken unintentionally, gently brushed Shi Yan's ears, but left a deep impression on his heart.

Shiyan was happy in her heart, but she also felt puzzled: "My husband is the young master of a rich family, how can he feel good about working in the fields like this?"

"It's not good to be with you?" Xia Yue squeezed Shiyan's hand, "Shiyan feels that the rich clothes and jade food are high above, and the ten fingers don't touch the water of spring, and when they go out to ride a horse or a car, they only talk about poetry and romance. Is the rich young master in that storybook good?"

Shiyan shook her head: "But, I don't need to go to the fields to do farm work. My clothes, hands and feet are dirty, my face is covered with mud, and I'm so tired that I'm sweating."

Xia Yue lowered his head and laughed: "I think farm work is very interesting and meaningful. I don't think I am expensive, and farm work is not cheap. No matter how expensive the wine is, it is made from rice grown from the soil. .Without such filth, where does the wine come from? Besides, the work of making wine is not easy, is it?"

Thinking of the scene of the sake store that he had only seen once, Shiyan nodded deeply.Although he felt that as the young master, her husband didn't need to work so hard, but even following a process was very hard work.

Xia Yue was happy, seeing that no one was paying attention to them, he hugged Shiyan and kissed them.

"And, my husband," after the kiss, he pulled Shi Yan and continued to walk forward, "I bet you for my husband, you definitely prefer someone like my husband to the young master in the script."

Xia Yue didn't confirm with him after speaking, but just showed a hearty smile happily.Shi Yan could see it, and it took a long time before he smiled lightly.

"Yeah." He nodded secretly, almost inaudibly responding.

Although when he admired the young master of the Yun family at the beginning, he really imagined him as the elegant and noble son in the storybook, such young master Yun did fascinate him a little.But with the favor of the gods, he was able to enter the Yun family and promised to be the husband of Young Master Yun. After he really got to know Xia Yue, he felt that if he was a young master like the one in the script, he probably wouldn't like him.Now, the husband who promised to be alone, although he is as chic and charming as described in the storybook, is completely different. This kind of Xia Yue is indeed more attractive and fascinates him.

In this way, the two returned to the field with a sweet atmosphere and continued to work.

Maybe it's because of the joy in my heart, or maybe it's because Xia Yue has become proficient and his speed has increased a lot. This afternoon, the two of them completed the transplanting of four acres of rice together.Including the eight mu of land planted by father Bai and Yi Ao, nearly one-third of the land that the Bai family needs to cultivate this year has been planted.Thinking that it would take another two or three days to complete all the rice planting, the tired faces of several people were all full of smiles.

In the evening, Xia Yue and Shi Yan stayed at Bai's house for dinner, and told Father Bai and Yi Ao to remember to take a bath with medicinal baths before getting into the carriage.

After returning to Yunzhai, taking a bath, and seeing father and father, both of them were so tired that they both fell down and fell asleep early.

The next morning, Xia Yue took Shi Yan to give Dr. Shen an injection, and he himself had a few needles in his waist.Dr. Shen confessed that when he came back from exhaustion, it was best to come to him for a massage.After the two agreed, they hurried into the carriage and rushed to Bai's house to continue planting rice seedlings.

After four days like this, the Bai family's [-] acres of fields have been transplanted.Next, we must pay attention to weeding, bird and pest prevention, and we should not take it lightly. However, the whole family can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
