Reborn 1960 join hands in farming

Both Sang Yuan and Xi Shao had met him, but thought he was too quiet.However, his farm work was better than Zhao Hu's, which made Sang Yuan pay more attention to him, and let him into the yard to help him plant those seeds together.

In the originally empty backyard, after a month of cultivation, a small cluster of buds began to grow in the field reclaimed by Sang Dazhi.

Every piece of land is planted by Sang Yuan according to the planting method he designed in his previous life. Although it is just a simple experimental field, he believes that he can always grow high-yielding crops.

There are several water tanks carved out of stones in the ground, and plastic pipes are inserted at the bottom. As long as they are filled with water, they can flow into the designated ground.

Because there is no good way to connect the bottle tube to the plastic tube, Sang Yuan still uses small holes in the plastic tube.It was totally worth it for him at this time to spend some manual inspection of the water situation.

"How did you come up with this method? It's so convenient!" As the second child in the village who was able to enter Xishao's yard, Mo Wen sincerely admired the irrigation equipment.

"Where is this convenient? You still need to check where there is no water coming out. If it is placed in the field outside, it will be more troublesome than direct watering!" Xi Shao looked at this device that is not called drip irrigation at all, and felt that he had suspected Sang Yuan before. is wrong.

This is simply a child's naive idea!

"But, it's really a lot of water to cancel the contract!" Mo Wen started to help the family with farm work very early, and he knows better than Xi Shao the amount of water needed for a piece of land.

"Anyway, as long as it works!" Sang Yuan ended their conversation while recording his experimental data in a small notebook.

"Are you recording the growth situation?" Xi Shao looked at the simple record he wrote and couldn't understand what he meant.

In order not to make people suspicious, Sang Yuan created a set of recording methods, just like a diary written by a child.Hearing Xi Shao's question at this time, he nodded his head as an answer.

"Are you drawing or recording?" Mo Wen was more interested, but he couldn't understand what he wrote more than Xi Shao.

"This is rice, this sweet potato, this small cabbage..." Sang Yuan explained it seriously, which made the others dizzy and quickly asked him to stop.

Sang Yuan shrugged helplessly, saying so much to these children, he really couldn't understand it!

However, it was also convenient for him to study independently, so he didn't take it to heart.

The world in the small courtyard is harmonious, but life in the village is difficult.

The first batch of crops planted in spring, because there is no moisture in the spring rain, can already see the growth decline at this time.The two wells in the village kept pumping water up, and everyone used a drop of water as a basin of water, but it still couldn't solve the dryness of the ground.

"Village Chief, there hasn't been a lot of snow during Chinese New Year this year. It's spring and it hasn't rained. It's going to be April soon. What should I do if it starts to heat up?"

Everyone in the village was anxious, but there was nothing they could do.The water in those two wells simply cannot satisfy all the watering problems of the world.

"What can we do? We can only focus on taking care of those lands that haven't been dry. If we can collect a little bit!" Zhao Liguo has been so busy these days that he has submitted reports to the county several times.It turned out that every village was the same, and the county had no way to solve it.

In an instant, he understood that it was really a drought.

"Village chief, didn't Sang Daguo and his brothers go out to look for work again? Why don't they just guard the dry land and make a living!"

"Village chief, ask the Xi family in that city and ask them to help!"

Some people could not help but think of other ideas after finishing their land.

"I won't stop those who want to go out to find trouble! As for asking Xi's family for help, why should they help us? We planted the food, and now we have no food to eat. Can the people in the city have extra food? Can't grow food , can I feed you with money?" Zhao Liguo felt that they were whimsical.

They haven't reached the point where they can't get anything, and they all want to get something for nothing!

But, that being said, can their food last until the summer harvest?

The villagers failed to get a solution, and left one by one resentfully.As farmers, as long as there is still a bite to eat, they will not be willing to give up their land!

Mo Wen heard about this at home, so he told his parents about the things in Xi Shao's yard, hoping that they could adopt that watering method, so that at least Xia Harvest could have something.

But when his parents heard that plastic pipes should be used to guide the water, they rejected his idea.What is lacking now is water, and there is not much for them to waste.And that plastic tube cost money to buy, and their family had already cut down on food and clothing so that he could go to school, so how could they have the money to buy that kind of thing?

It's better, as Zhao Liguo said, to plant what can be planted and give up the rest.

Zhao Hu also heard about the drought in the field, but he didn't tell Zhao Liguo about what Sang Yuan and the others got.Because Sang Yuan said earlier that the current set of equipment he got is not suitable for large-scale application, and now, he can understand why it is not suitable.

Therefore, when Mo Wen and Zhao Hu went to work in Xi Shao's yard again, their expressions and appearances were completely different.

Sang Yuan was concentrating on studying various crops in the field, but Xi Shao noticed something was wrong with Mo Wen.Because he was a child, he asked why as soon as he asked.

"My family doesn't welcome you in the future!" Xi Shao pushed Mo Wen out of the door and stared at him domineeringly.

Mo Wen was just a child, and he didn't know the consequences of his revealing the secrets in the courtyard. At this time, Xi Shao pushed the door out and shouted angrily: "If you don't come, you won't come!"

It was only then that Sang Yuan remembered that it was the second year of the three-year natural disaster. Seeing that the things planted in the field were alive and well, he wanted to go out to see the situation in the village.

Xi Shao didn't want to go, but seeing Sang Yuan going out, he followed eagerly.

As soon as I went out, I saw the busy fields of the villagers when I came back after the Lantern Festival. It should be a green scene, but many of them withered.

After digging for a long time in a field where the crops were obviously withered, the soil below was as dry as a stone.

"Sang Yuan, this kind of land can't be saved with your watering method, so don't worry about it!" Xi Shao thought that after these two years, it would be fine if it rained, but he didn't know that after two years of drought, the land would be destroyed. what happened.

"The people in the village live on these lands. If they don't care about it, they will have nothing to eat!" Sang Yuan doesn't remember how he got here in his previous life in the past three years, but since he returned to this era, he doesn't want to look at the villagers. suffer.

"Without water, what can you do?" Xi Shao hit him mercilessly.

"Didn't you say to grow something that is resistant to drought? Anyway, it can be eaten, and it doesn't have to be rice grain!" It is not enough to solve the irrigation problem of the whole village, but it is always possible to change things, right?Seeing those verdant mountains, Sang Yuan made up his mind.

Zhao Hu was asked to invite Zhao Liguo, and he took Xi Shao back to the yard to find Sang Dazhi.

Hearing that sweet potatoes were planted at this time, Sang Dazhi felt a little baffled.Although they have species here, it is not the main crop.Moreover, it is not this time!

"Father, sweet potato leaves can also be eaten, and they can fill our stomachs. Why not grow them?" In those days, wild vegetables were eaten more, and sweet potato leaves were usually grown to feed livestock, but sweet potatoes were a favorite food for children.It can be eaten raw, cooked, or grilled.However, to change the farming customs of a place, Sang Yuan knew that it would take some talking.

"The sweet potatoes planted at this time, except for the long leaves, can't grow edible sweet potatoes!" The weather in April is already warm. Even if we plant it now, it will be June when the weather gets hotter. Can I get sweet potatoes?

After thinking about it, Sang Dazhi felt that it was useless to waste time and effort. It is better to take care of the crops that are planted now.

"Isn't it enough to plant it on the mountain? The field is dry, but the mountain is not yet dry! With those big trees, the sweet potatoes planted can also help the village survive for a while." Sang Yuan pointed to the mountain behind their yard. .

Now that we haven't run out of water, we must make good use of the available resources.

"That mountain..." After all, Sang Dazhi is an educated person, and he also knows that the temperature on the mountain is lower than that on the mountain. If it is planted now, it may really be able to catch up with the summer harvest.However, their village has always grown rice, and only a small amount of sweet potatoes are planted. Now where are there seedlings that can be planted directly?

Seeing that he understood, Sang Yuan pulled him to the backyard, pointed to a field with lush vines and said with a smile: "The seedlings in this field should be enough for one mu of land, right?"

"When did you plant it?" Sang Dazhi helped them plant the crops in the backyard, but he didn't know that sweet potatoes were also planted.And he planted very few things in each plot, how could it become so dense now?

Seeing the sprouting fields, he found that he could hardly recognize what they were.But all the seeds are planted, it's normal for him not to know them.

"Mo Wen's family grows sweet potatoes. Xi Shao likes to eat them, so we planted them here. I didn't expect them to grow so well." Half-truth explained, Sang Yuan didn't tell him that this was what he had thought about early in the morning.

The reason why he let Mo Wen in, besides his good farm work, was that their sweet potatoes were grown well.Therefore, he didn't care about Mowen telling his parents about what happened in their yard.

"This is really..." Sang Dazhi didn't know what to say.

I thought they were playing for fun, but I didn't expect to be of great help!

At this time, Zhao Liguo also rushed over, and Sang Dazhi told him Sang Yuan's proposal. After thinking about it, Zhao Liguo went to Mo Wen's parents.

After their discussion, they felt that it was really feasible, so Zhao Liguo went to gather the villagers.The villagers have no experience in growing sweet potatoes, but they can still open up wasteland.Seeing that the land on the mountain was not completely dry, hope was ignited in my heart.

Under the experience and teaching of Mo Wen's parents, sweet potato seedlings were planted on an acre of land soon.

"If this is planted, the second half of the year will survive!" Mo Wen's parents estimated that if the sweet potatoes in this acre of land are really planted successfully, the problem of insufficient summer harvest will be solved.
