With the addition of tractors, the progress of plowing was accelerated, especially with the help of three tractors, all the land in Shanghe Village was plowed quickly.
Then when manual labor started plowing the field for the second time, it became much easier.
The main thing is that there is still ice on the ground that hasn’t melted yet?
Plow the land several times before starting sowing.
However, before sowing, Xu Nanxing and his team had to first remove all the roots and weeds left over from the crops planted the previous year.
Otherwise, these weeds will compete with crops for nutrients in the soil.
In the era when fertilizer production was low, many villages were not allocated enough fertilizer, so they could only try every possible way to give seeds more nutrients. There was no other way around it.
Anyway, weeding is not tiring for Xu Nanxing, except that his waist is quite sore.
However, this year, with the help of tractors, the entire spring plowing process was very fast, and all the basic work was completed in less than a week.
Xu Nanxing and the others don’t need to participate in the rest, they have to go back to the non-staple food factory to continue working.
The children also started going to school one after another.
Because when Zhang Luyao came back this time, he brought a lot of sports equipment from Beijing, such as basketballs, footballs, table tennis, badminton, skipping ropes, rubber bands, shuttlecocks, etc. He brought a lot of each and donated them all to the primary and junior high schools in the town.
Now that spring has arrived, the snow on the ground has almost melted, and the children can use these in school.
In this era, under the slogan of "develop sports, enhance people's physique; exercise, defend the motherland" put forward by the great man, national sports and fitness gradually became a national fashion and trend.
Everyone in the nation is actively participating in sports, and the school's daily radio gymnastics are not missed.
Therefore, the sports equipment donated by Zhang Luyao greatly encouraged the children's enthusiasm for participating in physical exercise, and all teachers and students expressed their gratitude to her.
Xu Nanxing did not expect Zhang Luyao to donate sports equipment.
But it’s a good thing this way, maybe we can produce a few more athletes?
By the way, it seems that there will be the Olympic Games this year, 1976!
However, after the ten years of the Cultural Revolution, where are the athletes we can send to participate in the competition?
The whole nation is obsessed with criticizing and fighting against monsters and demons. How can they have the mind to participate in the Olympics?
Alas, what a pity!
Because spring plowing ended too quickly, many people felt that they did not get many work points this year and were somewhat resentful.
You don't have to do much work and you can still get full work points. This kind of good thing only happens once a year. If you miss it, won't some people curse you?
They spoke most highly of Hu Yong from the commune who had brought three tractors.
I don't know who brought up the fact that Xu Nanxing had previously argued with the people in the commune about why they didn't use the tractor, which led many people to think that Xu Nanxing was meddling in other people's business.
"These educated youth from the city just can't do farm work! They've only been working in the fields for a short time, and they already want to use a tractor! They're really shy!"
"That's right, these kids from the city can't do any farm work! Can we really expect these spoiled city kids to help our village?"
"Oh! These educated youth are ostensibly coming to the countryside to receive re-education from us poor and lower-middle peasants, but how can they receive any education if they avoid labor like this? Don't you agree?"
"Hey! That's what they said, and you took it seriously? This educated young woman Xu has tons of money. Why would she need to dig in the fields like us? She has money, so what can't she buy? What's wrong with not working? She's rich, so she won't starve!"
"Oh! I have such a bad temper! How can I avoid work like this? Is there no one to supervise this?"
"How are you going to manage them? Who in the village can manage them?"
"Then... then I'll go to the commune and the Youth League Office and report them to me!"
