Happy Farmer's Life

Taking advantage of the cool weather in the morning, Du Weiming went to the field with Zhou Wen and Wang Wu to have a look. The corn was growing well, and the corn stalks had reached the calf.But rice seems to be not as good as corn, and Du Weiming is not sure why.Although I have helped with work in the countryside before, mainly as helpers, this is the first time I have planted so many fields.Du Weiming lay down on the ground and looked at it, then pinched the soil again, probably because the soil moisture was insufficient.

There should be a lot of rain in early spring, but during this period, there were only two rains, and they were all light rains, which disappeared after a while and even the ground was not very wet.Du Weiming thought that he could only water it, so he asked Zhou Wen and Wang Wu to work in the field first. Du Weiming went to Zhang Carpenter's house once, and this time he directly asked him to make a hundred small wooden boxes.Also asked carpenter Zhang to help make two large buckets.Carpenter Zhang gave a general description of the appearance and requirements of the bucket. In fact, it was similar to the small wooden bucket at home, except that there were two things like ears on it. Carpenter Zhang promised to send it to him in two days.

The mints transplanted in front of the house were not bad, only two died because of the unsuitability, and the rest survived.The flower seeds I planted are also two or three inches high. When I bought them, I didn’t know what the seeds were, so I bought some randomly. There should be tuberose, pansy, etc., because they haven’t bloomed yet and I can’t be sure.Du Weiming waters these flowers every morning, and it is estimated that in summer it will be watered twice a day.The dozens of olive trees transplanted behind the house are also good, and there is no response to acclimatization.

Du Weiming took the cloth and went to the head of the village next door to ask Aunt Zhang to help him make clothes.

"Er Gouzi, come on, come in and sit down."

"Auntie is going to trouble you again. It's been hot recently. I want to ask you to help me make some clothes for summer."

"See you again, what trouble do you have in making clothes, come to auntie to measure your size, it seems to be taller again."

Du Weiming has also grown in stature during this period, and the original bean curd has long since disappeared, so he can be regarded as a young man now.Aunt Zhang roughly measured Du Weiming's size. Aunt Zhang had the measurements of Zhou Wen and Wang Wu, so there was no need to measure them.After talking with the aunt for a while, Du Weiming went home.

The meal at noon is relatively simple. I made porridge, made a few corn pancakes, and fried a green vegetable, which is almost enough to eat with pickles.Du Weiming still cooks a lot now. On the one hand, it's because they don't like what they cook, and now that Zhou Wen and Wang Wu don't do much work, they cook most of the meals by themselves.

When the lunch was almost done, the two of them came back and ate the meal in a hurry. Zhou Wen cleaned up the table and washed the dishes.The three of them sat and chatted to digest food.

"Young master, I think the crops in the field seem to be a bit out of order."

"Yeah, I just read it. I guess it hasn't rained much recently. I went to Carpenter Zhang and asked him to help make two buckets. Let's water the fields after we're done."

"Well, some grass has been removed in the field today, and we will remove it in the afternoon."

"There is a small bucket at home, let's water it first tomorrow morning."

From the next day, the three of them went down to water the ground. Because there was only one wooden bucket for the time being, Du Weiming took the two wooden basins at home with him, and took two gourd ladles. Wang Wu was very strong and sent him to the river While carrying water, the water was poured into wooden basins. Du Weiming and Zhou Wen each had a basin, and watered there with their waists bent.The original 3 mu of land is not far from the river, but the 3 mu of land behind it is a bit far away.What Du Weiming watered in the morning was the first half acre of rice planted.After watering the whole morning, but only half of the land was watered, Du Weiming felt that his waist could not straighten up.The watering is also very particular. The rice is still young, so I can only hold a gourd ladle and scoop water to the roots of the rice. I can't water too much at a time, otherwise the rice will die. The 7 of them went home and took a nap there after lunch.I continued to work in the afternoon, and it took two consecutive days to water the 3 mu of land.

Carpenter Zhang finally delivered the big wooden barrel, and the one hundred small boxes were promised to be delivered in two days.With a big wooden barrel, watering is fast. Du Weiming directed Wang Wu to make a pole, and Wang Wu went to the river to carry water to the field, and Du Weiming and Zhou Wen were responsible for watering.In fact, Du Weiming also wanted to improve on this most primitive method.The best way at this stage is to dig ditches, but now the crops in the fields are too dry, so this matter can only be discussed later.

These days, every household is carrying water to irrigate the fields, and the work is in full swing.Du Weiming's 10-acre field has already been watered once, but Du Weiming went to see the first watered field, and it dried up again.There is no way, the weather is getting hotter and hotter these days, but it still hasn't rained, and the fields in the fields have dried up a few days after being watered, and the only thing we can do is continue to water them.

The housekeeper asked someone to bring a message to Du Weiming, asking him to deliver the soap quickly, and Du Weiming just remembered that he was busy watering these days, so he forgot about it.Du Weiming asked Wang Wu to drive an ox cart to the town once, and first delivered fifteen sets of soap and body oil to the shopkeeper, and the rest of the soap would be delivered to him in a few days, and ordered a batch of small porcelain bottles by the way.Du Weiming asked Wang Wu to buy 2 sacks of potatoes and sweet potatoes.In the following days, Du Weiming asked Zhou Wen and Wang Wu to continue watering, while he made soap at home first.Fortunately, with experience, he was proficient in making it. He carefully poured out the castile soap in the mold and put it on the paper to wait for him to dry in the shade.This thing is best kept out of the light until it's finished.Du Weiming put the soap in a ventilated place and waited for it to dry naturally.

This product introduction seems to be written by myself.The last time Jing Yuan was there, he wrote it all.Du Weiming can just watch from the side, but this time he can only come by himself.Fortunately, the days ago were not very busy, and I would practice calligraphy every night. The current calligraphy is not very beautiful, but it is still eye-catching.Du Weiming found out the two product introductions left by Jingyuan last time, and copied them facing each other.Hey, it would be great if Jing Yuan was here, how beautiful Jing Yuan's calligraphy is.I don't know how Jing Yuan is doing now, and there is no news after walking for so long.Your injuries should be fine.

Du Weiming missed Jing Yuan very much in the quiet night. In fact, after living alone for so long, it is a very happy thing to have someone to accompany him. Although he didn't really want to keep Jing Yuan at first, he was a little afraid of his injuries , but when you get used to two people eating, working, writing, and playing chess together, it will be very, very unaccustomed to go back to a life of one person.Although there are Zhou Wen and Wang Wu now, they are different.Zhou Wen and Wang Wu were not friends to him. Although he never regarded them as servants, he knew clearly in his heart that they had a completely different concept from Jing Yuan.Although Jing Yuan didn't talk much, the two got along harmoniously. During the Chinese New Year, he missed his sister very much, which caused him to be in a bad mood.Jing Yuan doesn't talk much, but he will find ways to enlighten him, chat and play chess with him.
