Chapter 96

Time passed quickly. In a flash, the elder sister's confinement was finished. In another flash, it was the end of March.

At this time, the North was still barren. In the cold environment, the mountains, rivers, lakes and trees were still dead. The production teams had not started their spring plowing. They had to wait until the soil was thoroughly melted before they could even send dung and ridge.

Han Mingxiu, on the other hand, had already ridged the ground with a pickaxe and was about to start farming.

What she wants to grow is spring wheat, which is different from winter wheat. Spring wheat is only planted in the north where winter is very cold, while winter wheat is planted in the south where it is slightly warmer.

However, people in Han Mingxiu's place are used to planting rice, millet, soybeans and sorghum. They have never planted spring wheat, and they don't know the habits of spring wheat. Seeing that Han Mingxiu had ridged the field so early, many unknown villagers came to see her planting like watching the excitement. Even her uncles came to persuade her, "Xiu, farming is in May, harvesting is in October, You've just planted the seeds in April. Don't you have to wait to freeze the seedlings to death? "

Han Mingxiu said with disapproval, "uncle, I grow spring wheat. Spring wheat is sown when it is cold, because after the seeds of spring wheat germinate in the soil, they have to go through a certain period of low temperature conditions to get up and develop into fruiting plants. If they are sown late, they will not be able to grow."

Old uncle Han Zhiwen listened to her speak eloquently, still did not believe her, he said, "you this spring wheat reliable?"? We have been planting corn, sorghum, soybeans and peanuts for generations here. Can you do that? "

Han Mingxiu said, "why not? It's planted according to the book. It's called scientific farming. There are many kinds of spring wheat in Heilongjiang Province and Inner Mongolia. Although spring wheat is not as good as the flour ground by winter wheat, its growth period is short. It takes more than 90 days from sowing to harvest. I can calculate it. I can harvest these spring wheat in August and wait until the harvest is finished, I can also plant one crop of vegetables in the field, which is equivalent to two crops a year in a piece of land, and the utilization rate is almost catching up with that of the south. How cost-effective

In her last life, Han Mingxiu was born in the countryside of Northeast China. Her family had planted spring wheat, so she knew spring wheat very well, so she insisted on planting it.

Spring wheat is usually interplanting with corn, that is, planting two ridges of spring wheat, planting two ridges of bract rice, planting two ridges of spring wheat, planting two ridges of bract rice, and so on. So in her four part plot, she can only grow two parts of spring wheat, and the remaining two parts of the plot have to keep bract rice.

In addition, the two parts of the land taken care of by the team, which she planned to use to grow potatoes, were not good in soil quality and high in terrain, so it would not be possible to grow anything else. Potatoes were OK to grow, and they would be able to resist drought. If the two parts of the land were well served, they would be able to grow 200 Jin of potatoes, almost enough for a year.

Han Mingxiu is very familiar with the process of farming, whether it's spring wheat or corn potato. It's not difficult for her to do the farm work of dividing the land into two parts. She didn't use other people's help. It took her only a week to turn the land over and plant it.

After planting, she took advantage of the market to buy 20 chickens, 10 goose seedlings and 10 duck seedlings.

She raised these chickens, ducks and geese not to earn money, but to eat eggs and meat by herself. She thought about it all. When she raised these chickens, ducks and geese, she would not sell any of them and save them for killing meat. As now, she would have to calculate how to eat meat, and would not be willing to buy them if she was not greedy.

When she raised these chickens, ducks and geese, she could eat them whenever she wanted and as much as she could. She would never treat her stomach too harshly again.

When she took the chickens, ducks and geese home, Han Mingcui was worried.

Such an old beast, it's all mouth? Now we have to rely on Uncle Gao in the city to provide food for our family. How can we feed these animals with the whole grain?

She told her worries. Han Mingxiu listened and said naturally, "Uncle Gao asked me to raise this. He said he would provide me with food. In the future, the people he ate meat and eggs with aunt Gao will depend on me. Do you think I can raise more?"

After hearing her say that uncle Gao asked her to raise them, Han Mingcui's heart was slightly relieved, but she was still a little afraid. This time, she was not afraid that there would be nothing to feed her. Instead, she was worried about raising so many animals at home. What would happen if she was cut off?

She was frightened for several days until the spring ploughing mobilization meeting was held in the production team.

Because the team leader conveyed the spirit of the leaders at the spring ploughing mobilization meeting, saying that now the country encourages the people to raise chickens and ducks, and the people can raise them as much as they like, and they don't cut their tails. They not only don't cut their tails, but also support the people who vigorously engage in the breeding industry.

The way to help you is to give credit to your piglets. When you raise your piglets, you can sell them to the state. For example, if you want to raise pigs, you can give credit to your piglets. When you raise your pigs, you can return the money to your piglets. But there is also a prerequisite, that is, the pigs you raise must be sold to the state, and the state will give you a piglet on credit, In autumn, you have to sell at least 100 Jin of pork to the state.

Similarly, if you want to raise chickens, ducks and geese, the state can also give you chicken, duck and goose seedlings on credit. But in autumn, it will also provide meat and eggs to the state. Of course, the state does not want you for nothing. It will give you according to the purchase price and never take advantage of the people's money.

When Han Mingxiu heard about the policy, she was elated. Seeing that all the villagers were thinking bitterly, she boldly stood up and was the first to express her support. She said that she would respond to the call of the country and make contributions to the country. She said forthrightly that she would give two piggies back on credit. When autumn came, she would give 200 Jin meat to the country to support national construction.

When other villagers saw that Han Mingxiu wanted to buy two pigs on credit, they all thought that she was crazy. Although it was not as difficult as it was in 1960, it was just enough. Even if they wanted to respond to the call of the state and raise more livestock to volunteer for the construction of the motherland, they didn't have enough food to raise those things?

Even if the most affluent people in the village want to raise a pig, they dare to raise one at most. Then the whole family has to tighten their stomachs and save some food from their teeth to feed the pig. She is a little girl of every family. Once there is no labor force and no savings in the family, she has to raise two pigs. Isn't that a fool's dream?

The team leader also thinks that it is unrealistic for Han Mingxiu to raise two pigs. In fact, he thinks that she can't afford to raise any of them. But when she supports his work so positively, he can't help her. He has to say, "Xiu, you're a little girl, and you have to help your elder sister raise children and raise pigs. I'm afraid you can't help. Otherwise, you can raise one, After the meeting, you can pick a big piggy from the pen and take it back

Han Mingxiu didn't see the captain's meaning. She didn't go down the steps given by the captain at all. She said loudly, "Captain, I've decided to raise two. If our team wants to help me, help me build the pigsty."
