The scorching sun was shining high, and more than a dozen people were bent over planting rice seedlings in the fields. Several paddy fields were full of green seedlings, neat and orderly. When the wind blew, the seedlings swayed, which made people feel relaxed and happy just to see them.

"Pangpang, your and Wangcai's seedlings have fallen over. They need to be planted in the middle of the soil, otherwise they will be lifted up when the wind blows and the water sways." Lin Bei looked at the row of fallen seedlings in front of Little Fatty and Wangcai.

Although the seedlings were planted neatly and arranged in an orderly manner by the two of them, the roots were too shallow.

"Hey! How could this happen?"

"Yes, young master, why are we the only ones who fell down?"

The two of them looked left and right, and it seemed that only the seedlings they had planted were unstable. They were dejected, and almost burst into tears when they saw that the fruits of the whole morning's work were almost half empty.

"You need to go deeper. You see, your seedlings are taller than ours, which means they are too shallow. When you go to the field with your fingers, go deeper, almost to the waist, and it will be fine." Lin Bei

Patiently demonstrated again and again, the three of them were about the same age, one was speaking instructively, and the other two were listening attentively.

Fortunately, the location they chose was close to the field, and it was time to replant the seedlings they had raised. Listening to Lin Bei's instructions, the two stretched out their arms and legs.

"Is that so? Lin Bei, look at it?"

Wangcai was responsible for picking up the floating seedlings one by one and placing them again, while the little fat man slowly filled the vacant positions. Every time he inserted a seedling, he shouted excitedly to Lin Bei.

Lin Bei nodded: "That's right, keep your strength, and the water will cover half of the seedling pole. This way you will go faster."

"It seems to have surfaced again!" Shangguan Zixuan said decadently, most of the excitement just now dissipated, and he was so tired that his eyes suddenly lost interest. The young master's temper emerged: "I don't want to do it anymore, I want to

Go rest!”

Lin Bei looked at the little fat man who suddenly changed his face, and looked at Jiang Yan in confusion. Jiang Yan gave him a reassuring look and walked to the little fat man's side in a few steps.

He reached out to take the wet seedlings in his hand, and with his chubby hands that were white and wrinkled due to blisters, he guided them to plant a few seedlings and said patiently: "The method that Xiaosi taught you just now is correct. You

It’s also done very well, but when you start, your fingers press on the mud pit, and the seedlings will definitely not be able to stand firmly in it. If you can’t avoid the mud pit, just cover it with soil when you place the seedlings.”

The warm breath rushed to his ears and neck, and the doting and gentle voice reached Shangguan Zixuan's ears. He blushed with embarrassment, making his already red face even redder. He said in a shy and embarrassed manner: "

I...I know Auntie, I know how to do it!"

When Jiang Yan was far away, he took a careful glance, and his mind couldn't help but reflect on Aunt Jiang's gentle figure and doting face. His mother's appearance was already blurred.

He no longer remembers what his mother looked like, and his father would not show him the portrait for fear of making him sad. But now, when he thinks of his mother, his whole mind is filled with Aunt Jiang's smile...

Hearing that the Lin family was planting rice today, more or less villagers came over to take a look. After seeing the green rice seedlings, the whole village was even more eager to dig up the fields at home. Compared with the village's mandatory planting of late rice at the beginning, now

Now that we have seen these green seedlings with our own eyes, everyone's enthusiasm is even deeper.

By noon, the rice fields were almost planted. Jiang Yan wiped the sweat from her forehead and took a deep breath. When she turned around, she saw the villagers surrounding them on the field ridge and Qiao Le, who had been watching them.

Although Qiao Le did not go to the fields, he delivered water and tea, and handed over seedlings without leaving a sweat towel in seconds. Although it was not a heavy job, the hot weather and the fact that he was lame on one leg made him panting from exhaustion, and his fair skin was even more exposed to the sun.

of redness.

Jiang Yan washed her hands and feet, rinsed her face again, and looked at Qiao Le: "Mr. Qiao, there is no need to come to the fields to help. I asked you to come back and be my teacher. What you have done makes me embarrassed."

Qiao Le looked at Jiang Yanjing's bright dark eyes, her red lips that opened and closed, and her exaggerated red face. He was a little dazed for a moment. He murmured: "I am very interested in the late rice proposed by Aunt Jiang.

, Anyway, I haven’t officially taught the children yet. Aunt Jiang has been very kind to me, but it’s just something that I can do.”

"Xiao Jiang! Why did you plant thirty acres of land outside the village? That's thirty acres of land. If it doesn't work, your hard work will be in vain!" The village chief's anxious voice was a little split. He originally thought that

Lin Jiazhong's acres of land in the village were considered too much, but who knew that Aunt Jiang also bought thirty acres of land outside the village and planted all of it.

Jiang Yan said: "Village Chief, don't get excited. I must be sure before planting. Don't you also believe in me? Otherwise, how could you bring the villagers to plant with you?"

The village chief clicked his tongue for a moment. He believed in Aunt Jiang, but he didn't completely believe it. The reason why he mobilized the whole village to plant late rice was just a big gamble. Everyone was a farmer. If it didn't work out, he would have to lose the rice seedlings and

It's all work in vain, but Aunt Jiang spent money to buy land and hire labor! This is all wasted money!

"Don't worry, I'm sure that the late rice thing can be done. Besides, you and Uncle Li Zheng have told the county, and the county magistrate is also watching these fields. If it succeeds, maybe no one will starve to death in the future.

"

The village chief nodded vigorously, and his eyes fell eagerly on the seedlings fluttering in the wind. He thought about the people in the village who had starved to death over the years, and then saw that this piece of green would grow into golden rice in the future, and he felt excited in his heart.

.

Thinking that Aunt Jiang dared to buy thirty acres of land to grow late rice, he was even more convinced that it would be possible. He immediately shouted to the onlookers: "Everyone has heard and seen that if our village can harvest another crop of late rice this year, the whole village will be happy."

Then no one will starve to death! Let alone eating meat during the New Year, it is possible for every member of the family to have new clothes!"

Following the village chief's words, everyone's eyes became more and more eager and excited. Looking at the seedlings in the field, their eyes were filled with unprecedented excitement, wishing that the seedlings in the field would soon turn into white rice.

The village chief coughed and continued: "The farm tools in the village were invented by Aunt Jiang's family, and everyone uses them. I don't need to tell you the benefits. I will just say it here today. Whether the late rice will be successful or not, every household in the village will use it."

The money to buy the seedlings must be given to Aunt Jiang first. If the harvest is not received by then, no one is allowed to complain!"

The people in the village nodded one after another, some of them were reluctant and just had a dull face. They were all scared of poverty. Everyone was eager to have a meal of meat and wear new clothes during the New Year. They didn’t have much money for rice seedlings, and they were going to

After the autumn harvest is over, everyone can take it out with gritted teeth.

Especially when they saw that Aunt Jiang had planted dozens of acres at home, many people were convinced and quick-thinking. They even thought about plowing two paddy fields, hoping to plant more, so that they would really get a harvest.

, and I have more food.
