After picking the vegetables, Tian Tian went to play with her little sisters. Old Mrs. Tian stayed at home looking after the seedlings she was raising. When the time was right, they would turn over the vegetable patch at home and plant all the seedlings in the field.
Tian Tian first went to Shen Lingling's house to talk to Shen Lingling for a while. Seeing that Shen Lingling's grandmother asked Shen Lingling to work, she went to Tian Ligang's house to find Tian Yun. It happened that Tian Yun was also free now. Both of them loved beauty, so they discussed the latest patterns of clothes and the latest hair decorations. They didn't go home until around four o'clock.
When passing by the educated youth site on the way, Tian Tian ran into Li Jiuniang, whom she hadn't seen for a long time.
It just so happened that Tian Tian brought a pig intestine hair ring with a big red flower that her aunt gave her today, and she walked in front of Li Jiuniang on purpose to show that there was indeed such a thing as a pig intestine hair ring at that time. After she was far away from Li Jiuniang, Tian Tian felt that she had been so stupid just now, and began to regret biting her nails.
When Tian Tian got home, she saw her mother, her second uncle, and her second aunt had returned.
Tian Lilin was piling firewood on the firewood pile. Lin Meiyu and Chen Guihua took a small stool and sat in the yard to pick wild vegetables. They threw the rotten leaves and weeds they picked on the ground, and the chickens all gathered around.
"Mom! Second Aunt! Second Uncle! You're back!" Tian Tian ran over happily and said.
Lin Meiyu kept moving her hands and looked up at Tiantian. "Are you going out to play?"
"Yeah!" Tian Tian also moved a small stool and sat next to them to help them pick wild vegetables. "I went to find Lingling and talked to Sister Tian Yun for a while."
Lin Meiyu watched Tian Tian pick out the grass roots and roots from a handful of wild vegetables, leaving the grass inside, and then threw them into a basket nearby.
She quickly took out the grass and said, "Don't do it. The grass has been thrown in."
Tian Tian looked at the grass in Lin Meiyu's hand, then looked down at the big ear grass in her own hand, "Isn't this big ear grass? How can it be grass?"
"How can these two be the same?" Lin Meiyu turned the back of the grass leaf in her hand over to Tian Tian, "Look at the backs of the two leaves. Are they the same? One has hair and the other has no hair!"
Tian Tian stared at it for a while but still couldn't recognize any difference, and was finally driven away by Lin Meiyu.
She wandered back into the house and saw Old Mrs. Tian spreading the quilt neatly on the kang, with a dried sheet underneath. Old Mrs. Tian was threading the needle and preparing to sew the quilt.
The two little ones were rolling around beside Grandma Tian. Tian Tian looked at the neatly spread quilt and also had an urge to roll around on it. This urge reached its peak when she saw Grandma Tian wrapping the quilt and preparing to sew it.
She didn't know why, but when Lin Meiyu was sewing a quilt last fall, she was also lying on this quilt. Lin Meiyu was sewing the sheets to the quilt, and from time to time she had to prevent Tian Zhuo from rolling over her needle.
At this time, Tian Tian always feels particularly at ease and happy.
However, she is one year older this year than last year, and she has grown a little taller. She was about 1.55 meters last year, and this year she has grown to 1.58 meters. She is already a 16-year-old child and looks like an older sister.
Finally, he just lay on the quilt and took a deep breath, then said regretfully: "It would be better if the sun was a little bigger, and the quilt could be dried to make it softer."
Sewing a quilt is a slow job. The quilt is very thick and the needle is just an ordinary needle. Old Mrs. Tian wears a thimble and sews it bit by bit. She basically sews a whole quilt and then everyone goes back to sleep with the quilt in their hands.
Tian Tian's quilt was the first to be sewn, so Tian Tian put the quilt into the house early, and then ran back to check on the quilt being sewn. Tian Baobao and Tian Zhuo were already sleeping soundly beside them, and they were even snoring.
Except for Tian Lisonglin who was in his own room, the rest of the people were all crowded together on a kang. The three of them, the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law, were sewing the quilt, the two kids were sleeping beside them, and Tian Tian was acting silly beside them.
Although it was a bit crowded, it was very cozy.
When Tian Tian was watching in a trance, Tian Lisong came back, still smelling of alcohol.
"Have you been drinking?" Lin Meiyu, who was helping Tian Laotai sew the quilt, hurriedly got down and supported Tian Lisong.
"I didn't drink. The captain did. When I drove him back, I smelled a little bit of alcohol." Tian Lisong waved his hand and said.
"Have you settled the fertilizer issue?" asked Old Mrs. Tian.
Fertilizers at this time are not available whenever you want. The commune has quotas and fixed quantities. I hope your team can fight for them on their own.
If you don't have a place, no matter how much money you give, it will be useless.
Tian Lisong sat on the kang tiredly and nodded. They and Team 5 had both won the title of advanced production brigade in the past two years. Team 1 had been an advanced production brigade for five consecutive years, so naturally they had a share of the title of advanced fertilizer producer.
The captain of the third team is related to the secretary of the commune, so he must have been appointed internally.
Only Team 3 and Team 5 need to compete for the quota for fertilizer.
"What happened in the end? What was the result?" Old Mrs. Tian asked with concern.
How can we not care? Using chemical fertilizers can yield a lot more grain per acre of land, and the amount of grain distributed to them will also be a lot more. This is the lifeblood of farmers, so we must pay attention to it.
"I got the quota! Two thousand kilograms of fertilizer. I'll go to the fertilizer factory to pick it up the day after tomorrow." Tian Lisong took the hot water poured by Lin Meiyu, took a sip, and said comfortably.
"Two thousand kilograms of fertilizer? It's not enough!" Old Mrs. Tian sighed.
Don't think that these two thousand kilograms of fertilizer seem like a lot. However, one acre of land requires at least seventy kilograms of fertilizer. Even if two thousand kilograms of fertilizer is used economically, it is only enough for thirty acres of land. Although the land of their brigade is scattered, there are still thousands of acres of land. Who can use these two thousand kilograms of fertilizer?
"These are the only fertilizers we can get. Some is better than nothing." Tian Lisong also felt that these fertilizers were a bit too little, but people would not give him more. Fertilizer is a delicate thing, and there were many brigades that could not get a turn.
If their brigade had not had good harvests in recent years and given face to the commune head, it might not have been their turn.
"These chemical fertilizers plus farmyard manure are enough to make do with what we have," said Tian Lisong.
In fact, their brigade’s farm manure is not enough every year. There are only 140 to 150 people in their brigade, and the farm manure produced is not enough to cover 1,000 acres of land. In addition, they have to keep some fertilizer for their own vegetable fields, so it is even less than enough.
