Xu Nanxing's leisurely days have to come to an end because it is the annual spring plowing season in the Northeast.
For rural areas, spring plowing and autumn harvest are both the most important work of the year, and all the people in the village must participate in spring plowing.
This time, Zhang Luyao ran away again. After all, she now has a city hukou and does not need to participate in farm labor.
Everyone in the non-staple food factory, including Xu Nanxing, has to participate in the spring plowing.
Early in the morning, the bell for work rang in the village.
Xu Nanxing hadn't gotten up so early for a long time, but there was no other way. As long as she was in the village, she had to follow the rules here.
This spring plowing is just like the autumn harvest. The whole village is mobilized and everyone must participate.
Moreover, the commune would send people to keep an eye on things. Xu Nanxing didn't want to be the first to take action, so he could only follow the assignments from the village and do his work.
After Xu Nanxing quickly washed up, he ran to the kitchen to boil water and steamed a tray of cornmeal buns. These buns were prepared by him and his children during the Chinese New Year.
The water boiled and the steamed buns were ready. Xu Nanxing asked Xiaotian and Xiaoyu to each put two big steamed buns in their pockets and filled them with hot water. The rest were packed up by Xu Nanxing.
A few people were on their way to the village's large drying yard, and they happened to be eating the steamed buns as they walked.
It’s so cold, and I have to get up so early. I really can’t stand it if I don’t eat something hot.
Especially since Xu Nanxing was originally from the south in his previous life, he really couldn't stand the severe cold in the Northeast!
As a result, she has to be fully armed every day in the winter here, and has to cover her body with hot packs!
After arriving at the drying yard, Xu Nanxing immediately found Xiao Huzi and his apprentice and shared the steamed buns he had brought with him. "Eat them while they're hot, or they'll get cold!"
The two little guys were not pretentious. They were really cold and hungry early in the morning. They took the steamed buns and started to chew them. After a while, they finished the two big steamed buns in their hands and licked the crumbs on their hands with satisfaction.
After the village chief arrived, he began to assign tasks to everyone.
Before spring plowing, farmers need to clean and prepare the fields in the village.
The work here includes plowing, loosening the soil, fertilizing, etc.
Tilling is to loosen the land with a plow, which can make the soil more fertile. Loosening the soil helps to enhance soil aeration and water permeability, and fertilizing can provide plants with necessary nutrients.
Only after completing these preliminary preparations can you start sowing.
Like other female educated youth, Xu Nanxing was assigned to the job of weeding.
It was just the beginning of spring, and although the soil was still hard, a lot of weeds had sprouted up.
They have to pull out all the weeds and not let them steal the nutrients from the food, so this is also a very important task.
Xu Nanxing followed the educated youth to the assigned area.
When the educated youth saw the land conditions here, they all looked troubled. The terrain here was a bit low, and the soil looked like it had not thawed yet and looked hard.
Those who were weeding had to wait until the team in front of them had plowed the land before they could start pulling weeds.
But looking at the hard work of the people plowing the fields over there, you can tell that today’s task will be difficult to complete!
Xu Nanxing looked at the man plowing the fields ahead, looking very hard at work. He pulled Chen Jiaxin beside him and asked, "Don't we have tractors in our village? Why don't you use them to plow the fields?"
Before Chen Jiaxin could reply, a man who looked like a commune cadre turned around. Seeing that it was the educated youth from the city, he frowned and said unhappily, "The tractor is a valuable asset of the village. If it breaks down while plowing, will you be responsible? You educated youth from the city can't handle hardship. You're already thinking about using the tractor when you start working?"
