Chapter 165 165 Planting Rice in the Cold Water

Chapter 165 165. The water for planting rice is cold

The morning in early April was still slightly chilly.

Early in the morning, Old Man Li led the cow to the paddy field.

The cow was thrown aside and wandered around in the wasteland to eat, but he skillfully rolled up his trousers.

The rough, black-scarred feet stepped into the soft mud. Even though Old Man Li felt that he was strong this year, he still couldn't help but shiver——

"Ouch, it's so cold!"

Just as he was talking, he saw Song Tan coming from the shore carrying a load. The load was full of strong seedlings, tied into bundles and neatly placed on top, stacked on top of each other, extremely full.

However, she was carrying it on one shoulder, with one hand lightly resting on the pole. Her familiar posture and stress-free movements made her look like she was a strong man, not the thin girl in front of her!

When Old Man Li saw this, he couldn't help but say "ouch" again:

This girl’s family is really good at farming!

Song Tan stood at the edge of the field and looked at him: "Grandpa Li, why did you go to the field? The water is so cold!"

To be honest, after stepping in for a while now, Old Man Li's soles were stuck in the mud, but he felt a little warm.

I was wearing thick clothes and didn't feel cold at all.

Then he also remembered his heroic spirit when he was sweating profusely in the rice fields, and said in a loud voice:

"It's okay, you can't compare to me in planting rice!"

Song Tan was confused for a moment - when it came to manually transplanting rice seedlings, she would definitely not be able to compare.

If you use magic...

He moved his fingertips and tried to lift the bundles of seedlings in the burden——

well!

The poor spiritual energy is particularly useless, so it can only be lifted. Just like a snap of the fingers, every cluster of seedlings is planted into the field. Maybe we will never see it again...

But no matter how well the seedlings are planted, they can't stand up to the fact that Old Man Li is getting older now.

Song Tan was a little anxious: "I'm planting rice seedlings in advance. The water is so cold. I really don't plan to ask you to go to the fields today."

When she said this, Old Man Li was not happy anymore:

"Hey, you think I'm too old to do this, don't you? Throw down the seedlings, and I'll plant them right away! Let's see who of us can plant them better!"

"I'm telling you, your dad can't even compare to me."

Song Sancheng, who couldn't compete with him, also rushed over at this moment. When he saw old man Li in the field, he was instantly happy:

"Uncle Li, you're here early!"

After saying that, he took off his rubber shoes, rolled up his trouser legs without hesitation and went out to the field, and suddenly made a move——

"Oh, this water is so cold!"

Can it not be cold? Song Tan was furious.

Even Song Youde, who came later, also cursed on the shore: "You two are really! How many years have you not been farming, and you have forgotten how many months it has been? Tantan said that you dare to plant rice seedlings?!"

"If I hadn't seen her gathering seedlings there early in the morning, I wouldn't have known that we would be planting rice right now."

No one here grows double-cropping rice, so rice transplanting usually takes place in late April or early May.

My granddaughter is so good. She has never been allowed to go to the fields to plant rice seedlings. She has raised a handful of rice seedlings and planted them in early April.

If the time comes that day, will the things that grow out be good?

Song Tan was also embarrassed.

This time it was actually her mistake. After all, who cultivates the land depends on the weather?

Let alone two crops a year, if you don’t pay attention to taste and variety, two crops a month will be fine.

She took an awkward step back and exposed the seedlings: "Grandpa, look how strong my seedlings are. If I don't plant them now, they won't be able to grow back."

Song Youde lowered his head and took a look: "Okay, these are indeed the strongest seedlings I have ever seen before. The green ones are almost dripping with oil."

He also cursed without anger:

"It's really crazy. Why didn't we breed so well in the future?"

It’s also the default.

After all, the seedlings have been torn out, and now it’s no longer possible not to transplant them!

As for experience...he has a lot of experience in transplanting rice seedlings.

Standing on the shore now, I rubbed my legs several times before going down to the field.

It was indeed a bit cold.

But it was okay. He just looked at his son who was still stupid at his age, and then looked at Old Man Li next to him who compared himself with the young man. He snorted again: "Tan Tan, go back and tell your seventh cousin, Let’s drink more ginger soup at noon.”

"Okay," Song Tan agreed: "Grandpa Li, don't be impatient. Drink more at noon. I'll make another bucket in the evening to help you and my grandpa carry it back. You can soak your feet to ward off the cold."

"You can't be careless with your body!"

Old Man Li looked impatient: "Oh, why are you chirping? It's so cold, and we are still touching lotus roots in the lake - throw down the seedlings!"

Song Tan had no choice but to stand on the shore, picking up bundles of seedlings and throwing them down along the rice fields.

After a while, the load of rice seedlings was thrown away completely, and they were almost evenly distributed in the two paddy fields.

She also rolled up her trousers, her white and tender feet stepping on the grass, which made Song Youde's face darken:

"You damn girl, what do you want to do?!"

"Your girl is going to work in the fields, and the cold air will enter her body tomorrow, but you will feel better!"

"It's okay, grandpa." Song Tan said angrily, "I'm really not afraid of the cold."

However, there is a kind of fear that makes parents think you are afraid.

Even Song Sancheng scolded with a frosty face: "Stand, don't come down! Just these two fields, can't the three of us finish it? Go back."

What are you going to do?

He was stunned and didn't think of it, and finally changed the subject: "Go to the city to buy me a small tricycle."

Song Tan: ...

Okay, if you don't want to go into the water, then don't go into the water.

Just like they said, these two fields can be done in half a day, and one person is not a big deal.

Turning around and preparing to move, he asked Song Youde: "Grandpa, I see that others also drive a small tricycle, why don't I buy one for you?"

Song Youde laughed so hard that he couldn't close his mouth: "You kid, you mess around with your money. I'm old, what do I need that for?"

Song Tan was about to nod, but he quickly followed up with another sentence: "Why don't you buy one? Grandpa has money, I'll get you the money."

Song Tan turned around and left: "No, no, my dad has money, he said he quit smoking this year to save money."

This is incredible!

Song Sancheng immediately trotted forward, struggling a few steps in the mud:

"I didn't say that, I didn't say that! Tan Tan, have you planted your tobacco?"

He turned his head and smiled at Song Youde in a flattering way: "Dad, I know you like to smoke this dry tobacco, so this year I specially asked Tan Tan to plant a row of tobacco for you on the edge of the field."

"If we dry and roll it ourselves, it will definitely be strong enough."

As soon as the voice fell, Song Youde had already skillfully pulled out the smooth and oily pipe hanging from his waist and knocked it hard on his arm--

"What's the matter? You smoke cigarettes, and I smoke the free tobacco leaves, right?"

"Is it so difficult to ask you to pay for a car for me? As soon as Tan Tan asked you to pay for it, you looked at how anxious you were..."

"Isn't it just money? I have it! I'll give it to you when I go back."

Song Sancheng:...

Dad, I really didn't mean that!

Thank you Qianqiu and Yongheng for the reward...and thank you all for liking it!

Tonight is still three updates, as usual, don't wait.

Depending on the variety and climate, it is normal to harvest rice twice, three times or once a year. The planting time also varies depending on the variety.
