After finishing some mixed farm work, the only seedlings in Sun Gang's family have not yet been planted.

Before the exchange meeting, Sun Gang and his father took the rice seedlings in the yard, and they would open the shed every day to water the seedlings.

Seedlings in drylands are not prone to rot and rot, and the seedlings are neat, with high seedling rate and fast root growth. However, after the seedlings are cultivated in drylands, if there is a cold wave, the membrane should be covered in time to protect the seedlings. During the three-leaf period, when the weather is good, all the seedlings can be opened during the day. Except for rainy days, the cover should be removed day and night, and all the membrane should be removed three days before transplanting. Keep the soil moist, and if the soil is dry, water should be sprayed in time. []

According to Sun's father, it is best to take advantage of the sun when ploughing, and then dry the rice fields for a few days after ploughing. First, the sun can sterilize it. Second, the whiter the rice fields after ploughing, the softer the softer it will be after irrigation, and the easier the soil will be to "permeable". The seedlings planted in the future will be easier to survive and tiller (seedlings are pelleted). Therefore, there is a saying in rural areas that "planting seedlings and drying white fields is equivalent to making money."

This time, I was still planting seedlings. My aunts came to help, and they basically didn’t plant much of the fields at home.

When it comes to planting seedlings, Sun Gang always reminds him of Li Shen’s “Praise for Farmers” when he was a child: “It’s noon to hoe the crops, and sweat drips into the soil. Who knows that every grain of food on the plate is hard to eat.” After becoming an adult, he read the poem “Planting Rice Songs” by Budai Monk of the Tang Dynasty: “Planting green rice seedlings all over the field, and bowing his head to see the sky in the water. Only when the six senses are pure are the way. Retreating back means moving forward”, he not only realized the hardships and fatigue of farmers’ hard work during the transplanting rice, but also made people feel the “perfect” and “complete” of the philosophy of life of “retreating back and moving forward”.

When I was in elementary school, when the busy farming season came, the school always had a few days of busy farming holidays to let the children in the village go home to help with spring plowing and planting.

Children are very disgusted with such busy farming holidays. Rural children are afraid of farming work. Once the busy farming holiday is on, they wish that time will pass the fastest, so they get up and go to bed again, and end the "intentional planning" holiday of rural teachers one day earlier. Because the purpose of their holiday is to invite students to help these teachers who teach while farming and study do farming.

And Sun Gang, like the children in the countryside, lived in the countryside for many years and dealed with hoes and sickles for many years. At that time, he was already disgusted with farm work. One of the purposes of studying was to "hide farm work" and hoped to break out of the "farming gate" as soon as possible. Unexpectedly, after breaking out of the "farming gate", he finally returned.

In May, the land is green and oily. Spring rain is a magical trigger. The seedlings on the yards of each household are densely packed, like green carpets, and the seedlings are as tall as green steel needles. They are full of shots in the spring breeze, and they are held high and received the baptism of the spring breeze and the spring rain.

Gardenia flowers are in bud, pairs of spring swallows are holding mud in the rain, groups of cuckoos are singing, and frogs are croaking in the whole spring field is filled with music. With the pace of the season, one by one goes to the field with machines or cattle handhelds, followed by mountains and rivers laughing, and plows and rakes.

The plow and rake sounded, and the paddy fields were sung by poems that were repeatedly sung in spring. In this hymn chant, the messy paddy fields were cleared out, and the paddy fields were raked, sprinkled with farm fertilizer, and continued to rake again.

At this time, the spring breeze was acting coquettishly on the willow branches, the swallows were whispering, and the laughter and joy of men, women, young and old in the village were also rippling in the fields.

Early in the morning that day, Sun's father and Sun Gang packed their clothes and came to the paddy field of fish farming. Before everyone could come to work, they would first organize the paddy field. This field is still planning to raise fish this year, so they dug trenches and ridges to paste the ridges as last year.

After breakfast, all the relatives arrived. Sun's father started to pick up seedlings in the yard, and then Sun Gang carried them onto the ridge of the field with a load.

Everyone came to the sorted paddy fields, and everyone threw the seedlings into the paddy fields one by one, evenly spreading the seedlings in the paddy fields waiting for the seedlings to plant.

Dad Sun found a rope, tied sticks at both ends, and inserted them on the ridge of the field. After straightening the rope, he was inserted by people near the ridge of the field in the paddy field. More than a dozen people planted rice seedlings along the rope.

When planting seedlings, people lower their heads and bend their waists, holding the seedlings with one hand, and constantly splitting out the seedlings from them with the other hand and planting them into the field. While planting, their feet retreated, and as they move their heads constantly. After planting a row, the people standing on the ridges on both sides moved the rope back and continued to plant the seedlings. The seedlings planted in this way are straight and beautiful when they look horizontally and look sideways.

There is a more destiny to transplant rice seedlings. First untie the seedlings, take half of them on the left hand, the thumb index finger and middle finger of the right hand, and from the left hand, they usually have seven to eight seedlings, one by one, one into the field. According to the standard, the distance between early rice is generally five inches and three inches, so that the seedlings can absorb soil nutrients evenly and can also breathe through.

Planting a field is about progress. Everyone is like a chicken pecking at rice, constantly planting rice and retreating. If you plant too slowly, the further you plant, the further you retreat, the more you may be put in a "cage", which is likely to be laughed at.

When planting rice seedlings, the easiest thing to encounter is leeches, also known as leeches. Legs are invertebrate mollusks, which are specialized in sucking blood. They are usually two to three centimeters long and also have large ones, such as cows and leeches. When they encounter them, they suck on their legs. They cannot be pulled with their hands. The more they pull, the tighter the leeches. The best way is to slap them hard, so that they roll down.

There were many people and great power. Last year, only Sun Gang and his parents had to raise fish, so they took two or three days to plant them. Today, they finished them in less than a day, and then they went to the field to continue. Of course, they were delicious and delicious to entertain everyone at noon.

There are many people planting seedlings in the paddy fields near the field. Everyone stood in the paddy fields and kept bowing to the earth. Everyone was planting the rice and retreating while talking and laughing.

Everyone was talking and laughing. Before they knew it, when the sun set, the nearby paddy fields became green in one day. The seedlings that had just been planted often were not upright, and were facing upside down, like a gust of wind blew her body, thin and weak. But in a few days, the seedlings turned green, and the planted ones stood up straight and began to grow tillers. As long as it was dedicated, the earth could silently accept it, and the withered wishes could always bring flowers and ears.

As the stars showed their faces, the whole family scooped the evening breeze into the strong family affection, followed the food made by Sun Mom, mixed with the moonlight, and drunk the hardships of the day, and enjoyed the joys of the year. Everyone talked about the beautiful year's longings and the hope of endless harvests in the year.

In fact, planting seedlings is not smooth sailing. There are often things that are short of seedlings. When the seedlings are planted, there are one or two paddy fields but no seedlings to plant, so you have to look for seedlings everywhere. Or if others have leftover plantings, or if others have sufficient preparations in the seedlings themselves, they can all be responded. There is a very harmonious relationship among farmers. As long as you wear a straw hat, barefoot, roll up your trouser legs, carry the mud-stained seedlings on the ridge of the field with spring rain, you will feel how happy it is to help others and be helped by others.

I continued to be busy in the fields in the next few days. My relatives helped here for two days, and there was less than acre of land that had not been planted, so there was no need to let them help.

Sun Gang and his father were planting seedlings. The weather was not good, and it started to drizzle.

The raindrops hit the paddy fields and splashed millions of water. In a short while, the earth became misty and rainy. People planted seedlings in the misty rain and fog, which was like a landscape painting that was suitable for thick and thin.

The rain is still falling, and the fields are quiet, and only the sound of wind and rain are heard. The people working in the fields are no longer laughing, noisy, but are just busy in a nervous and orderly manner.

Sun Gang looked at the villagers who still worked in the rain. He was deeply moved by their hard-working and hard-working character, and deeply realized that the hard-earned food was hard-earned.

"Dad, let's go, go back, I'll get older later." Sun Gang said to his father beside him.

"There is another thing, you go back first, I'll go back after I finish it." Seeing that Yi Erfentian was still empty, Sun's father asked his son to go home first.

"Forget it, work harder and you'll be finished after a while." Sun Gang couldn't let his father work alone in the rain, but he went home by himself.

After working hard for a while, before the rain got heavier, I finally planted the paddy fields.

"Come and wipe it quickly." Mom Sun looked at the two of them as if they were soaked in the water, and quickly handed over the towel, "When the rain stops, you'll have to do it."

"There is only the last little left, and the profit is over." There is only a little left. Dad Sun doesn't want to run back and forth anymore.

It rained for several days in a row, and today I finally set my eyes open. The sun has risen, the morning glow in the sky has faded, and the sunlight has begun to become stronger, making the earth golden and warm on the body.

The sky after the rain became bluer and bluer, as if it was washed by water. Clouds with the morning glow remained slowly drifting in the sky. Standing on the hillside of the orchard, it felt very low and low, as if you could pick a cloud with just one hand.

Looking into the distance, the vast field extends to the distance. A curved road "flows" from the distance, cutting the field into two halves and extending to the other far away. The road is filled with many unknown flowers, red, white, yellow, and purple, and they are shining brightly under the sunlight.

A group of ducks were swimming leisurely on the water surface of the pond, and from time to time they stretched their necks into the water to seek food, leaving only their erect butts on the water surface.

Below the ridge of the pond are paddy fields one after another. The calm water reflects the blue sky and white clouds, making the sky and the earth integrated. Most of the paddy fields have been planted with seedlings, but they are not obvious from a distance, and they still set off the sky.

Sun Gang was deeply attracted by the picturesque scenery, "Ah~Ah~" couldn't help but shout.
