Chapter 162 Farming is very hard
The ginseng land is always a big ridge, and in the term "ginseng industry", it is called "gunchi face".
In the past, when there was too much ginseng and soil, the pool was worth noting, which means that the ridge was about seven or eight feet wide.
The ridge ditch between ridges is called the horse road. In the past, the horse road was also very wide, and it would be fine if people walked inside.
When buying and selling large areas of ginseng, the unit of measurement is usually used. The ginseng range costs two or three thousand yuan per land at the beginning, and in the end, it can be sold for more than ten or twenty thousand yuan per land in the mainland.
As the ginseng land became more and more valuable, people began to use their brains to narrow the horse path and save land. Later, even the face of the pond became narrower, and the narrowest one was only five feet.
At present, the pond is still very wide, seven or eight feet long, just wading through three ridges with a plow stick, and the person holding the pickaxe directly digging holes on the ridge.
In order to save trouble, I simply stepped on the ridge in the middle, digging the pits together with three ridges, and the ones who were lit up the seeds at the back, so I planted them together with three ridges, stepped on them together, and I would go there once.
Of course, working like this is very tiring, much more tiring than a single ridge.
Han Liwei, Han Lixin, and Liu's sister-in-law, plus Jiang Junlin, and Old Master Han swung a pickaxe in front to dig a hole.
The children carried small baskets or cloth bags and planted them in the pit, then used their feet to lift some soil, covered the seeds in the pit and stepped on them.
Zhou Lili, Jiang Juntao, Han Zhen'an, and Han Zhenhui are all big, and they are working quickly. They are all guarding the three ridges alone and just plant them all the way.
The other children are young and cannot guard three ridges by one.
So Zhenhui and Jiang Junqi, Zhenyuan and Zhou Yanyan, and Chang Yanzhe led Zhou Tiantian and the two of them to guard the three ridges, so that they would not be too tired.
Zhou Tiantian is still young and doesn't work so quickly, so Chang Yanzhe only lets her keep one ridge and keep up with her, and the other two Chang Yanzhe watch.
When planting beans, you generally need to have a tight spacing. You can throw four or five seeds into a pit and then cover the soil and step on them.
It would be better for Zhou Tiantian to only guard one ridge, and she just stepped on the ridge and the other ridge was in the ditch. She was planting into the pit and then stepped on it and walked forward.
However, Chang Yanzhe had to take care of both sides to guard the two ridges, which was a little troublesome, but Chang Yanzhe worked very quickly. Looking at the two ridges, Zhou Tiantian didn't let Zhou Tiantian fall down at all.
The two of them chatted casually while having Zhou Tiantian chatted by her side, and she didn't think this mechanical action was so unacceptable.
It seemed that not long after this big ridge ended, and then turned around and planted another ridge. When this ridge was planted again, it was already past nine-thirty.
Zhou Tiantian felt her throat dry, so she ran to the ground to get a kettle. "Brother Yanzhe, do you drink water?" Zhou Tiantian took a few sips of water and felt that her throat was much more comfortable, so she handed the kettle to Chang Yanzhe.
After doing the work for half a morning, Chang Yanzhe felt his throat smoke, so he took the kettle and took a few sips.
"How is it? Are you tired? If you are tired, go to the field to rest for a while and I can just follow you."
Chang Yanzhe saw Zhou Tiantian's face being a little red in the wind and sun, and there were beads of sweat on her forehead, and knew that this kid must be very tired.
It is really hard for her to work with them, a nine-year-old child.
Zhou Tiantian shook her head, "It's okay, I can hold on, there's no need to rest. Let's work quickly. Such a large area may not be able to finish it in three days."
It must be tired, especially because she only guards one ridge, one foot high and one foot low, the leg that was stepping on the soil was sore.
But this is her own work. She didn't do it herself, but instead let the helper keep working. How could this be the reason?
Zhou Tiantian said, then returned to the ground, but one leg was a little struggling and looked a little awkward when walking.
Chang Yanzhe noticed that he knew that this kid must have one leg that was not very comfortable. After thinking about it, he pulled Zhou Tiantian to the other side and asked her to change her legs and step on the soil.
"The little girl is not big, she is so stubborn." Chang Yanzhe muttered.
Zhou Tiantian pretended not to hear it, and took the basket in her hand, grabbed a handful of seeds, sowed it into the ground, and stepped on the soil while stepping on the other side. This was a little more vigorous.
Everyone started working from less than seven in the morning and stopped until 11:30 in the afternoon. "Okay, stop and rest, go back to have a meal, and continue in the afternoon."
It’s noon, and the children must be hungry. Let’s have some food to rest. No matter how much you work, you can’t be hungry.
Children usually go on and off and do boxing, and it’s different from working this way. Everyone was very tired this morning. When they heard about resting, they saw a few monkey children jumping and jumping to the ground.
"I'm going to have dinner at last. Oh my god, I'm starving to death. I'm getting up too early in the morning. After eating some food, I quickly took the bus. My stomach is empty now."
I am a poor man, and this is true. These two young men are almost like carrying hungry pockets on their backs for a day.
I was hungry all day long if I didn't do anything, not to mention that I didn't stop working this morning. I was so hungry that my chest was pressed against my back, so I screamed and rushed to Mr. Han's residence.
Mr. Han, Han Liwei and others laughed at this moment, "It's better to be young, look, the work I've worked all morning is still so lively.
It’s not like my old arms and legs. Oh, I’m really a little sore in my waist.” Mr. Han said enviously while rubbing his waist.
"Grandpa, you are not old at all, you are young. Look at how tough you are, just like a young man."
Zhou Tiantian did not follow her brothers, but followed her slowly. Now she went over to support the old man and helped her to hit the old man's waist with her little hand.
Mr. Han was even happier by Zhou Tiantian and laughed, "People have to be convinced. Your grandfather is counting at seventy. How tough can he be?
I was thinking about it and took the people at home to earn more while I could still move.
I waited for this round of contracting period to expire, and I just saved some money and kept it for some business, so I would go home and enjoy my happiness."
Mr. Han is sixty years old this year. This round of contracting period is five or six years. When the period expires, he is only about seventy years old. He should go home and enjoy his old age.
Chang Yanzhe has a steady temperament, so he naturally won’t jump and jump with Han Zhenhui and the others.
He was following Zhou Tiantian all the time. When he heard the conversation between Mr. Han and Zhou Tiantian, he glanced at Mr. Han.
The old man was strong in martial arts since he was a child, but he had suffered several injuries when he was young, and he left some problems after all. As he grew older this year, he would inevitably feel a little uncomfortable.
This is why Mr. Han has a good physique. If he had changed to an average person, who was in his sixties, how could he still work in the mountains?
As he walked, Chang Yanzhe thought about whether he should give some medicine to treat Mr. Han to take care of his health?
