Transmigrating to the 70’s: The Military Wife As A Farmer

  Chapter 96 Spring Arrives

  Time flies quickly. In a flash, the confinement of the eldest sister is finished, and again, it is the end of March.

  At this time, the north is still barren. In the cold environment, the mountains, rivers, lakes, and trees are still lifeless. The production team has not yet started spring ploughing, and even the delivery of manure and ridging must wait until the soil has completely melted.

   And Han Mingxiu, already carrying a planing pick, is already digging ridges and is about to start farming.

  She wants to grow spring wheat. Spring wheat is different from winter wheat. Spring wheat is grown in northern regions where winter is very cold, while winter wheat is grown in the warmer southern regions.

It’s just that the people in the place where Han Mingxiu lives are used to planting corn, millet, soybean, sorghum, and no one has ever planted spring wheat, and they don’t know the habits of spring wheat. The villagers in the village came to see her planting as if watching the excitement, and even her relatives and uncles came to persuade her to say, "Xiu, the land is planted in May and harvested in October. You only plant the seeds in April. After planting it, don’t Qing wait to freeze the seedlings to death?"

Han Mingxiu said disapprovingly, "Uncle, I grow spring wheat. Spring wheat is planted when it is cold, because after the seeds of spring wheat germinate in the soil, they must pass a certain period of low temperature conditions before they can get up and joint development and form fruity plants. If it’s too late, it won’t be done."

  Old uncle Han Zhiwen heard her speak plausibly, but still didn’t believe her. He said, “Are you reliable spring wheat? Our ancestors here have grown corn, sorghum, soybeans and peanuts for generations. Can you plant that stuff?”

Han Mingxiu said, "Why not? This is planted according to the book. This is called scientific farming. There are many kinds of spring wheat in Hei Province and Inner Mongolia. Although spring wheat is not as good as winter wheat. The noodles are delicious, but its growth period is short. It takes more than 90 days from sowing to harvesting. I count it. I can harvest these spring wheat in August. When the harvest is over, I can plant a crop in the field. Green vegetables are equivalent to two crops a year on a piece of land, and the utilization rate is about to catch up with the land in the south. What a bargain!"

  In the last life, Han Mingxiu was born in a rural area in Northeast China. She had grown spring wheat in her family, so she knew very well about spring wheat, so she insisted on planting it.

Spring wheat is generally interplanted with corn, that is, two rows of spring wheat, two rows of rice, two rows of spring wheat, and then two rows of rice, and so on repeatedly, so she’s planted in her own quarters, actually Spring wheat can only be planted in two parts, and the remaining two parts of the land must be kept for seeding.

In addition, the two parts of the field that the team took care of their home, she intends to use it to grow potatoes. The soil is not good and the terrain is still high. I am afraid that it will not be possible to plant other things. Potatoes are okay. Potatoes are also good for drought resistance. If they are served, they can grow almost two hundred catties of potatoes, which is almost enough for them to eat for a year.

Han Mingxiu is very familiar with the process of planting land, whether it is planting spring wheat or planting corn potatoes. The two-part market making is not a difficult task for her, and she did not use other people’s help. She only used it for a week. In time, the ground was turned over and planted.

  After planting the land, she bought 20 chickens, 10 goose seedlings and 10 duck seedlings while she was going to the market.

She raises these chickens, ducks and geese not to make money, but to eat eggs and meat for herself. She is thinking about it. When these chickens, ducks and geese are raised, she will not sell one of them, and keep all the meat to eat. Save it like it is now, you have to figure out the bitterness, and you can't bear to buy it until you are eager.

  Wait when she raises these chickens, ducks and geese, eat whenever she wants, and eat as much as she can. She will never treat her stomach harshly anymore.

  When she brought these chickens, ducks and geese home, Han Mingcui was worried.

  Such an old beast, are they all mouths? The family now has to rely on the grandpa in the city to feed the grain. Where can the whole grain be used to feed these beasts?

She confided her concerns. Han Mingxiu heard it and said naturally, "This is what the uncle Gao asked me to raise. He said that he provided me with food. Later, he and Aunt Gao will eat meat and eggs. It's all on me, do you think I can raise more?"

Hearing her said that it was Uncle Gao who asked her to raise her, Han Mingcui's heart was slightly lowered, but he was still a little scared. This time I am not afraid that there is nothing to feed, but worried that there are so many animals at home, in case of being cut. How to fix the tail of capitalism?

  Fighted with fear for several days, until the spring ploughing mobilization meeting in the production team, she put down the hanging one.

Because the team leader conveyed the spirit of the above at the spring ploughing mobilization meeting, saying that now the country encourages the people to raise chickens and ducks. To support the people of the industry.

The way to help is to give your cubs on credit, and then sell them to the country when you raise them. For example, if you want to raise pigs, you can give you piglets on credit, and you can pay back the pigs when you raise them. Piggy money is fine, but there is a prerequisite, that is, the pigs you raise must be sold to the country. The state credits you with a piggy. In autumn, you have to sell at least one hundred catties of pork to the country.

Similarly, if you want to raise chickens, ducks, and geese, the state can also credit you with chicken fry, duck fry and goose fry, but in autumn, it will also provide the country with meat and eggs. Of course, the state does not want you in vain. It will be given to you at the purchase price, and it will never take a penny from the people.

When Han Mingxiu heard about this policy, her heart was immediately exasperated. She saw the villagers' eyebrows and thoughts. She stood up boldly when no one expressed her position. She was the first to express support. She said that she would respond to the call of the country and serve the country. To make a contribution, he boldly stated that he would go back with two piglets on credit, and he would hand it over 200 catties of meat to the country in autumn to support the country's construction.

When other villagers saw Han Mingxiu wanting to credit two pigs, they all thought she was crazy. Although today’s years are not as difficult as in the sixties, but they are only just getting enough to eat, even if they want to respond to the country’s call, Want to raise more livestock to volunteer for the construction of the motherland, but don’t have food to raise those things?

Even the most wealthy people in the village want to raise pigs, and at most they dare to raise one. The whole family has to tighten their stomachs and save some food from their teeth to feed the pigs. She is a little girl. Yes, if the family has no labor and no savings or anything, they owe their children to raise two pigs. Isn’t this a idiotic dream?

The captain also felt that Han Mingxiu's raising two pigs was a bit impractical. In fact, he felt that she could not afford to raise one of them, but she was so positive that she supported his work, and he couldn't dispel her enthusiasm, so he had to say, "Xiu, you are a little girl, and you want to help your elder sister raise children and raise pigs. I'm afraid you can't be too busy. Or else, you can raise one. You can go to the circle later when the meeting is over. Pick one of the big piglets and take them back."

Han Mingxiu didn't seem to see what the captain meant. She didn't go down the steps given by the captain at all. She said loudly, "Captain, I have decided, so I will raise two. If our team wants to help me If you do, help me put the pigsty on it."
