Little Farmer Big Star

Chapter 79 Farming

By the Yantang, Li Fan picked a tomato casually, thinking about it while eating.

In two days' time it will be the release date of Fun for Kids.

This issue of "Fun Kids" is still the same as the previous issue. "Shook and Beta" and the comic "Tom and Jerry" each occupy half of the page.

Li Fan's manuscript had already been sent to Tang Quan. He doesn't need to worry about these things.

Soon, he ate a tomato. Chatting, feeling unsatisfactory, I picked another tomato and put it in my mouth to eat.

The vegetables in other fields are under the sun for a long time, and the leaves of the vegetables are slightly curled downwards, which looks a little listless. Only the vegetable field of Li Fan's family still looks lush.

"Hey, it's really different to have a cheating device in hand." Li Fan was very happy in his heart.

"Boy, what are you doing squatting there?"

Li Fan was enjoying himself when he suddenly heard his mother's voice.

He hurriedly turned his head to look in the direction of the sound, and saw his mother coming from the Yantang with a bag of grass on her back.

"Oh, Mom, you're back. It's time to mow rabbit grass again."

Now my mother still has to mow the grass every other day. The little rabbits at home have also grown up a lot, and the little girl took two back to feed them two days ago.

The girl fed the two rabbits like babies. Every day when I come back from school, I will come back with a bag of rabbit grass by the side of the road.

Her mother cut the grass for her and asked her to feed it. She is still not happy, insisting on getting grass and feeding it by herself.

"What a child." Li Fan could only comment in this way. Don't look at that girl who is usually a kid. But after all, he is still a child at heart.

Li Fan took the strap from his mother and put it down in the yard. Asked: "Mom, can we harvest our wheat, when will we harvest it?"

My mother grabbed a handful of rabbit grass and threw it on the rabbit cage, and then replied: "I will collect it tomorrow, there is not much, and I will finish it in one day."

"Well, good. What about those late peanuts? It seems that we can dig them too." Li Fan asked again.

"There's no need to worry about those peanuts for the time being. We'll dig them when it rains someday," my mother replied.

"Oh, good." Li Fan nodded and walked out of the yard. He was going to take a stroll outside, but the sun was basically out of reach now.

The reason for digging peanuts is to wait until it rains. That's because the soil is softer after it rains. You can directly pull out the peanut seedlings by hand, which not only saves effort, but also allows as many peanuts as possible to be pulled out together with the peanut seedlings. Only a few peanuts will be left in the ground. It is also convenient to pick up.

If it doesn't rain, just go digging directly. Because the soil is too hard, it can only be dug with a hoe. It is laborious and time-consuming, and it is not easy to dig clean.

Li Fan wandered around the village and met many villagers one after another.

Some villagers have already returned home after working in the fields, while others have just left the house with their hoes on their shoulders.

The villagers greeted Li Fan enthusiastically, and Li Fan responded with a smile.

He already has a general idea for the construction of the farm, which is to lease most of the land in the village for unified planning and management and unified planting. At that time, some villagers must be hired to help.

"Well, go to the village chief's house another day and talk to him about it."

The village chief is Li Fu, in his 50s. The same generation as Li Fan's father, Li Fan called him "Uncle Fu".

...

Early the next morning, Li Fan's family went out to collect wheat.

Now that the villagers are working, they will miss the time when the sun is the most poisonous in the middle. Generally speaking, they go to work in the fields as soon as the sun rises in the morning. Went home around nine o'clock in the morning. And it's time for breakfast.

So did Li Fan and the others. It's past 6 o'clock now, just after dawn, Li Fan and the others are already busy on the ground.

Li Fan's family doesn't grow much wheat,

Less than an acre of land. After harvesting this morning, come out again in the evening to finish harvesting.

After all, this is the south, and wheat is not the staple food. The villagers grow wheat, which is usually used for noodles or to feed poultry.

So not many are planted. The special land conditions do not allow more planting. The land here is not like that in the north, where the land can be operated by mechanization.

The land here is all in one piece. The positions are still high and low, scattered unevenly, and some are still on a slanting drape. Mechanization cannot be used, only manual labor can be relied on.

However, because of this. Only then has the beautiful pastoral scenery of the southern countryside been created.

The idyllic scenery of Sansheng Village is even more beautiful.

The main tool used to cut wheat here is the sickle. Cutting down with one knife at a time, the speed is not slow.

At nine o'clock in the morning, Li Fan and his father went home with a big load of wheat each. My mother used a back strap to carry a full back strap.

Li Fan's current body is not trivial. Putting the courage of more than a hundred catties on the shoulders is simply relaxed and happy, without any feeling.

Of course, Mom and Dad are in good health now. Li Fan often secretly gave them drinking space spring water.

It's a relaxed posture to see Dad walking. Li Fan knew that Dad may not be as relaxed and happy as himself, but he can definitely be called light.

There is no need to say more about my mother.

It's no wonder that parents often feel emotional recently. Since Li Fan came home, they felt that their bodies had improved a lot. What used to be a laborious job can now be done with ease.

10 minutes away, the family did not take a break. He went straight home in one breath.

When I got home, my mother was busy making breakfast.

Li Fan and his father started to "threat" the wheat. To thresh is to remove the grain from the stalk. Due to the small number, the villagers thresh the wheat directly without using mechanization.

Threshing wheat is also simple and convenient, just need enough strength.

Grab a handful of straw in your hand, and just throw the end with the wheat stalks to the ground. After repeated several times, all the wheat on a handful of stalks fell to the ground.

Now, what Li Fan and his father lack most is strength.

The two of you came and went, "Boom! Boom! Boom!" The sound was endless.

By the time my mother finished the breakfast, the wheat harvested this morning had already been threshed by nearly half.

This speed made my mother slightly astonished.

Had breakfast. It didn't take long for Li Fan and his father to beat all the wheat.

My mother spread out the freshly harvested wheat in the yard so that the sun can expose the wheat to the greatest extent.

...

In the evening, Li Fan's family went to the field again. All the remaining wheat was cut back.

In the next few days, the main farm work will be peanuts and corn.
