"Then Second Uncle is the first one!"
Lili looked at that thing, feeling a secret excitement in her heart.
Although Shen Jialuo's answer was inaccurate, her intuition told her that this must be the case.
Wow, a master is about to emerge from our family!
Shen Lao Er's interest in carpentry began when he was a child and saw Uncle Huang doing carpentry in town.
Because of this, every time he went to town, he would go to Old Huang's place to watch him carefully do carpentry.
It can be said that Mr. Huang was the teacher of his interests.
Shen Lao Er never dared to imagine that his skills were better than Huang Lao Bo's, whose skills were praised by people from all around.
He usually makes tables and chairs for the villagers and repairs cabinets at home.
These are all very simple things; anyone with a little knowledge can do them.
Even this bed was something he had thought of a long time ago, but only recently had it made into a physical form.
However, he didn't expect to do so well on his first try.
"You two little sycophants, your mouths are so sweet!" Shen Lao Er laughed. "This was just something I did for fun, what makes you the first person to do it?"
Lili stomped her foot: "Second Uncle is really amazing!"
My second uncle's skills will definitely become famous in the future!
There's no chance for him to show his skills now. When his time comes, that's when he'll truly shine!
But Lili couldn't say it directly, and seeing Shen Lao Er's lack of confidence made her really angry, which made Lili very anxious.
Shen Lao Er took it as the little dumpling supporting him, rubbed her little head and laughed, "Good, good, good, Uncle is amazing!"
After tidying up the crib, Shen Lao Er said to the little dumpling, "I'll polish it a bit more and make you a small guardrail so that no matter how much Pear Baby fusses at night, she won't be able to roll off."
Lili pouted: "Lili doesn't make a fuss when she sleeps."
Shen Lao Er was amused and laughed heartily: "Good, good, good, Li Bao is the best!"
Lili watched as Shen Lao Er tidied up the crib before she remembered that she was supposed to go check on the rice today!
"Brother, we should go!" Lili pulled Shen Jialuo up.
"oh oh!"
Shen Jialuo held Lili's hand, and the two little ones said goodbye to Shen Lao Er before running out in a flash.
Slow down!
Shen Lao Er's instructions were quickly forgotten.
Lili ran along with her short legs, but she couldn't run for long and had to be carried by Shen Jialuo.
Unfortunately, Shen Jialuo was only a five-year-old kid himself. He would carry the child for a couple of minutes, then stop and start again. It took him a quarter of an hour to walk a few hundred meters.
However, this also gave Lili the opportunity to observe other people's rice.
The situation is similar for everyone. The ears of grain look a bit taller than before, but only for a few days, and they don't grow much taller.
As Lili looked around, she noticed something was amiss.
Why are there more gray spots on these leaf spikes that should have been lush and green?
Lili immediately patted Shen Jialuo on the back: "Brother, stop for a moment."
Shen Jialuo was puzzled, but still put Lili down as instructed.
"What's wrong, Pear?"
Lili squatted down next to a rice stalk by the edge of the field, picked up a leaf and examined it closely.
The middle part of the leaf is grayish-green, and the edges are dark brown, forming cloud-like lesions.
Lili frowned and looked at two or three more rice plants.
Other types of rice also exhibit this condition to varying degrees, but it is generally not as severe.
This is bark blight.
This is one of the common diseases during the tillering stage of rice, caused by Rhizoctonia solani.
Sheath blight usually occurs after a series of rainy days. There have only been three rains in these days, which is not frequent. How could sheath blight still occur?
Lili looked puzzled, then coaxed Shen Jialuo, "Brother, Lili wants to be lifted up high!"
"Huh? Here you are now?"
Lifting her up high is Shen Jialuo's favorite game with her, which is to carry her on his shoulders and walk around a couple of times.
Because Shen Jialuo couldn't carry her for long periods of time as effortlessly as Shen Jiahao, she came up with this idea to play with Lili.
"Mmm, Lili wants to play!"
Shen Jialuo couldn't resist Lili's coquettishness, so he squatted down without hesitation and let Lili ride on his shoulders.
Shen Jialuo held up the pears and walked around the edge of the field. The villagers who passed by laughed and said that they were full of energy.
Taking advantage of this moment, Lili looked seriously at the field.
Looking at it this way, Lili understood why this was the case.
In years of famine, when production is limited, people have no choice but to grow more grain in the limited fields they have.
The planting density in this field is clearly too high.
However, it wasn't too excessive. They probably knew that dense planting would backfire, so it was only slightly more than the normal density.
The weather has been gradually warming up, and the fact that people here don't have the habit of drying their fields in the sun has increased the probability of sheath blight.
Fortunately, it's not a big problem, just a minor one, and won't have too much of an impact.
However, if these symptoms do not improve by the heading stage, it may increase the likelihood of empty rice husks.
Lili smiled and patted Shen Jialuo's shoulder, signaling him to stop.
Right now, she's more concerned about the rice in her own field.
After all, that was a plot of land she had personally sown soybeans over several days!
In this era of mechanical and non-automated systems, she was truly exhausted.
The little dumpling jumped for joy at the thought of soon seeing the fields she had worked so hard to cultivate.
Shen Jialuo naturally noticed it.
"Li Bao, why do you love running into the fields so much?"
Shen Jialuo was extremely puzzled. These boys would be farming in the future, so it was understandable for men to run around more, but why did Li Bao, a beautiful little girl, also like to run into the fields?
She had previously dragged him to scatter soybeans in the field, and now she's come to check on the rice.
Lili shook her head and said, "I don't love the land, I just love the food!"
"Love food?"
"Mmm!" Lili looked at him seriously, "Food can fill people's stomachs. If there were no food, how many people in the world would starve to death?"
Shen Jialuo seemed to understand, but he only knew that his sister was right. If he didn't have any food to eat, he would definitely starve to death!
“We have food and clothing, we are already very fortunate!” Lili suddenly said with a bitter face. “But some people are born without food to eat, they are so hungry that they are skin and bones, and they can only dig up tree roots and eat leather belts.”
Shen Jialuo looked sympathetic, then asked with a puzzled expression, "What is a belt?"
"Oh, that's not important!" Lili waved her little hand. "What's important is that I want all these fields to be full of grain, lots and lots of grain, so that everyone has enough to eat!"
The little dumpling stretched out its arms, a longing smile on its face.
This was what she sought and what she did in her previous life.
She followed her mentor up the melon mountain and down to the orchard, capable of both farming and scientific research, working diligently throughout her life and dedicating herself to increasing the yield of various food crops.
