A clever housewife can't cook without rice.
Now that Xu Zhengyang wanted to plant sprouts, the most important thing was to have fertile land.
The entire Taoyuan Village was surrounded by mountainous areas. The best two days belonged to the rice fields on both sides of the Taoyuan River. The rice fields on both sides of the river were formed by drinking water. Not only was the terrain flat, but the land was also fertile. There was plenty of river water beside it for irrigation.
It was the time after the spring harvest in the countryside. All the rice in the paddy fields had been harvested. The paddy fields were all idle, which was a good window of time.
30 yuan per mu of land for ten days was not a small amount in rural areas with few sources of income, especially in these poor mountainous areas.
Especially when Xu Zhengyang offered 50 yuan to hire people to work, the surplus labor force in the village was naturally very happy.
Soon, with Ye Dacheng's help, the fertile land was settled and the villagers were gathered in front of Xu Zhengyang.
One of the most important reasons why these villagers were willing to rent these fertile fields to Xu Zhengyang was that Xu Zhengyang had a good relationship with people and had received most of the support in the village.
Xu Zhengyang looked at the village women, young men, and some middle-aged men in front of him and said,""Fellow villagers, do you see this two-day plot of land in front of you?”
"Our task today is to turn over these fertile fields and level them. Then, we will sow the seeds of these sprouts. The sooner we finish, the earlier we will finish.”
One of the rural women said,"Ah Yang, how do we do this?"
Most of the villagers did not know how to plant crops. They only knew how to plant rice fields.
"It's very simple. I'll teach you later.”Xu Zhengyang looked at the time and said," It's ten o'clock in the morning now. Let's try to finish our work as soon as possible."”
"Good!" Everyone agreed.
This time, Xu Zhengyang invited a total of 20 people. If there were cows at home to help plow the land, they could also receive a subsidy of 10 yuan.
Most of the villagers were hardworking and didn't know anything, but they knew about farm work and worked very hard.
The rural people were more honest and hardworking, and less shrewd and cunning like the city people.
Everyone started working in full swing.
Ploughing the land, crushing the mud, dividing the ditches…No one was slacking off.
Xu Zhengyang didn't do any work. Instead, he taught the villagers how to transform the paddy field into pieces of farmland before sowing.
It was close to noon, lunchtime.
"Zhengyang!" At the corner of the field, Lin Yuexin, who was wearing a hat and rolling up her sleeves, shouted,"Time to eat."
Such a scene naturally attracted the attention of the villagers who were working.
"Eh, who's that?"
"I don't know. She looks so beautiful! She's like a fairy."
"When did such a beautiful girl come to our village?”
"It seems that he is very familiar with Ah Yang! Could the two of them be husband and wife? This beautiful girl is Yang's wife?”
"It's very possible. I just don't know when Ah Yang married such a beautiful wife!”
…………
The crowd discussed softly.
"Hey, I know!" Xu Zhengyang looked at the busy crowd and said,""Everyone, it's time for dinner. Go back and eat first. We'll start work at two in the afternoon.”As he spoke, he walked straight to Lin Yuexin and the two of them left the paddy field.
Inside Xu Zhengyang's house.
Lin Yuexin had already prepared the dishes. There was tomato egg soup, a vegetable, and a small plate of pork. The three dishes weren't considered sumptuous.
"Eat more meat!" Lin Yuexin picked up the meat and placed it in Xu Zhengyang's bowl.""You've worked hard today.”
"It's fine. I'm used to it!" Xu Zhengyang grinned and said,"Isn't there a saying that happiness is earned through hard work?"”
Lin Yuexin looked at Xu Zhengyang, who was eating, and her heart was suddenly touched. She inexplicably felt a trace of emotional resonance.
Although Xu Zhengyang didn't say the last sentence, Lin Yuexin understood tacitly." He didn't want her to suffer.
Her heart throbbed.
After lunch, Xu Zhengyang took a break and continued working in the afternoon.
There was strength in numbers. With the help of the villagers, the sprouts on more than ten acres of land were all sown at around five in the afternoon. All that was left was watering.
Because it was close to the river, watering it was very convenient.
In front of Xu Zhengyang were a few large buckets filled with river water. However, this river water was different from the water from the Taoyuan River. It was mixed with the magical water of life.
"Dear villagers, you've worked hard. Next, we'll use the water from these buckets to irrigate it. Then, we can call it a day!”"Thank you for your hard work, everyone." Xu Zhengyang said.”
Every villager quickly took a bucket of water and filled it with water to water the sprouts.
The effect of the miraculous water of life could promote growth and development, and it could glow with powerful vitality. Moreover, plants that had been nourished by the miraculous water of life would have higher nutritional content and better quality.
After a busy day, everyone finally finished sowing more than ten acres of sprouts.
Xu Zhengyang paid everyone their wages.
"Um, Zhengyang, I want to ask, who is the girl who came to the field at noon to you?”After Eighth Aunt received the 50 yuan salary, she looked at Xu Zhengyang curiously and asked,""It's very beautiful."
Ye Dacheng, who was beside him, immediately answered,"Eighth Aunt, don't think about it. That's Xu Zhengyang's wife.”
