The busy farming season will soon begin, and the year's plan depends on spring.
In rural areas, spring farming is very important and extremely busy.
There is always work to do every day.
Zhou Yuan didn't go out for the time being. It would be bad to stay idle at home, so he had to pick up the hoe and go out to work with his parents.
Plowing the soil and weeding, carrying manure and fertilizing, leveling the rice fields and sowing seeds, etc., every day facing the loess and back to the sky, working from morning to night.
Zhou Yuan is no stranger to farm work. He was only 16 years old when the household contract responsibility system was implemented. He worked with his parents after studying.
In just two years, he learned all the farm work, including planting rice, harvesting grain, plowing and harrowing the fields. He was good at everything.
Thick calluses grew on his hands and shoulders, and his face was tanned. In those days, a farmer's son growing up in the countryside had no choice but to farm.
Unlike today, children in rural areas have never held a sickle or used a hoe.
Don’t know how to plant rice seedlings or how to fertilize vegetables?
In a word, my household registration book says I’m a farmer, but I’ve never done farm work and never thought about staying in the countryside.
Studying, then going out to work and developing in a big city is the dream of every rural child.
As for farming, that is the job of the elderly over sixty or seventy years old.
Who among the young is willing to do it?
I don’t know about other places, but in my hometown, there are less than two people under 60 years old who are farming.
Generally, they are elderly, weak and sick people in their sixties or seventies who farm the land.
The younger ones, even the fools, go out to work.
After working hard on the farm for a year, it is better to work outside for a month or even a few days.
Not to mention college students, the most profitable ordinary workers on the construction site can earn more than a thousand yuan a day. Just think about it, how much can they earn after working for a month?
Generally, the daily income is three to four hundred yuan. Under normal circumstances, it is no problem to earn 10,000 yuan a month.
In places like the West NS District where mechanized farming is not possible, one person cultivating 5 mu of land will be exhausted during the busy farming season and will not earn much in a year.
So Zhou Yuan, who has experienced rebirth, hopes that his parents will give up farming and spend their old age in peace.
Who knew that his idea was so good, but his parents didn’t agree at all!
This made him suffer all day long.
Alas, what a miserable life!
After working all day, Zhou Yuan lay in bed, feeling very uncomfortable with his waist and legs aching all over. He planned to find a job outside as soon as possible and leave quickly to avoid suffering every day.
